Yeah, congrats. You persuaded me to continue. But I can't promise to write another chapter more. That film's longer than I remembered and Leon's scenes are so rare...
But don't hesitate to leave reviews
Chapter 2
It wasn't what he usually did. And he still didn't know what exactly had happened. But when he got the call from the Timekeeper's central, he had found himself awaking in his own bed, but not alone.
Next to him a girl was lying. She was a beautiful girl…and his colleague. Damn shit, he cursed himself. How could that have happened?
But however, he picked up the call and woke Theresa so that they could together drive to where Will Salas was suspected. It was a long drive to Time Zone 4 but after hours together with Jaeger and Kors they arrived.
"Thank God. Now, how about that game?" Mr. Weis asked Will Salas in the exact moment when the doors flew open. The crowd of people were pushed aside by the timekeepers, Kors, Leon in the middle, Jaeger and the small and slender figure of timekeeper Riddle.
"It's alright everyone. What's this about?" Weis tried to calm down the situation.
"I'm sorry to have break up the party, Mr. Weis. I just need a word with your friend," Leon said in his typical, half-impolite manner.
"My friend?" Weis said disgusted. He didn't want to be a friend with someone who seemed to have problems with timekeepers. And he made that very obvious. "Very well."
Jaeger and Kors brought Salas to another room and Leon and Theresa followed them.
"I'm Timekeeper Raymond Leon."
"I'm Will Salas."
"I know," Leon answered impatiently. Theresa had to smile. He could really be a fucking asshole. "What are you doing in this zone?"
"It's not illegal, is it? To change time zones?"
"No…it's just rare," he answered.
They talked on and on and Theresa wondered how much hatred could there really be found in Raymond. What did he really feel toward her? He hadn't talk a word with her since they had left his house. Was he angry or just confused?
"That time will be held, along with you," Jaeger stated and started to remove his time. "We'll leave you two hours for booking and processing.
"Why are you investigating a suicide?" Salas asked when the timekeepers were already half way out. "There's mass murder in the ghetto every day."
"That is fascinating," Leon whispered and turned back to him. She stopped and tried to figure out what he was muttering. "I heard another man talk like that. It was over twenty years ago. You're probably too young to remember your father. We'll arrange safe transport. This is New Greenwich after all," he hissed and left again.
Theresa managed to smile. He put his hand on her back and accompanied her out of the room. They walked out and waited. But Will waited. Waited for a chance to escape. And he took it.
It was all so fast, Leon just caught Theresa who was pushed away to Will who was jumping down the staircase. The next moment, everyone had frozen and Leon realized why: He had taken Silvia as a hostage.
"Stop him!" everyone was screaming while Will ran out – together with Silvia. Theresa jumped to her feet again and followed by Leon, they were hunting down the stairway and after him.
They heard the car's engine coming online and saw the back lights. They jumped into their cars, Raymond was driving, Theresa on the co-driver's seat, calling for back-up.
It was late evening traffic and the cars were driving slowly. They managed a course between them and after the silver car. She looked into his face and saw nothing but hatred and that he was determined to catch Salas. He never failed and she feared that with his attitude, to definitely catch him, would prevent him from doing so.
He drove faster and faster. "Raymond," Theresa whispered and tried to calm him down. "We'll get them. Slow down. Everyone's alarmed. Please, Raymond." But he didn't listen. Their car touched Salas' but slowed none of them down.
Suddenly, Salas' car turned around and he drove backward. "Is he fucking crazy?" she whispered silently. She didn't have any influence in the scene and just hoped that Raymond wouldn't kill them both.
It was so suddenly over. Just a van touched them and stopped immediately. She felt herself being pushed to the car's door and back again. "Satisfied?" she asked sarcastically and angrily for his maneuver. He just stared after the escaping outlaws.
They drove on all night to rule out some possibilities where they could have gone. It has already become daylight again and Theresa was sleeping on the co-driver's seat. She awoke not very softly when Leon braked hard.
"What?" she asked rudely. Although she didn't need much sleep, she was angry about his nerving habits that brought them into danger of life.
"Look down there," he said chewing his gum.
"Cutting it close again, sir," Kors mentioned when Leon had re-filled his time.
"Well, I'm still walking around," he just answered and started to examine the crime scene. When it went on like this, Theresa was sure, he'd one day run out of time without a car around.
"By the lack of dead bodies, we have to assume they're also," Theresa mentioned with her strong voice.
"So where do you want us to start looking?" Jaeger asked.
"We don't. He'll come to us," Leon said and sat down on the car.
