Chapter 2: No trust among criminals
Minene stirred awake after having who she thought was a private doctor work on her eye. Her vision was barraged by bright lights overhead, which jolted her the rest of the way awake. She was in a public hospital, where authorities could identify her and apprehend her. While the shock of being in a public place was still gripping her, she ran her left hand over her face and felt a bandage over her left eye, which didn't hurt anymore. "I guess I'm good to go." Minene whispered to herself. "I wonder if they..." She trailed off, pressing her finger against the bandage, noting the feel of something solid in the place of her eye, which was a glass eye.
Feeling a little relieved, Minene went to take the covers off of herself with her right hand, which she now saw was cuffed to her hospital bed. Looking around the room, she saw her diary on the table next to her bed. Using her free hand, she picked it up and opened it. 'Police check in every 10 minutes. Can get a key from one of them.' was displayed. Minene wondered why they left her diary within reach like that. The police were not aware of what her phone really was. "I see you're finally up." The police officer said, showing his badge and holding a copy of her rap sheet, which was quite long. "Minene Uryuu, you are hereby placed under arrest for acts of terrorism, threats of terrorism, conspiracy to commit terroristic acts, murder, conspiracy to commit murder, manslaughter, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, possession of a firearm while in the commission of a felony, illegally discharging a firearm within city limits, illegally discharging a firearm within 300 feet of an occupied dwelling, felony possession of a firearm on school grounds, possession of a bladed weapon over three inches on school grounds, felony breaking and entering, trespassing, intrusion, burglary, grand larceny, grand theft auto, reckless driving, fleeing the scene of an accident, assaulting an officer, illegal possession of government property, possession of illegal explosives in any quantity, detonating explosives within city limits, arson of an occupied dwelling and use of federally banned autonomous weapons. Sorry the list is so long, and that's only the number and type of charges, not the number of each individual charge. You'll probably get the death penalty."
"Haven't you heard? Flattery will get you everywhere." Minene flirted, attempting to lower the officer's guard.
"I don't suppose you want to add obstruction of justice or interfering with a federal investigation to that list?"
Minene chuckled, then looked at the officer in a naughty fashion. "Why not? I'll probably face a firing squad for what I've done already. Want to maybe come over here and give me my last kiss?"
"You're gonna ask me for that? It could compromise the investigation and I could lose my job."
"Oh yes, kissing a criminal is the worst thing you've ever done. I doubt any judge in any court aside from the middle east would throw out a case over a kiss. I mean, think of the headlines. 'Dangerous terrorist responsible for hundreds of lives set free because she was kissed by a police officer.' Think that'll make the news?"
"Ha, fine. I'll give you your kiss. But you had better not say anything about this to anyone."
Minene looked at the officer's belt and saw a handcuff key separate from the other keys. As the officer started walking towards her, Minene moved her legs around to make herself seem more appealing, and to be in position. Just as the officer was about to kiss her, she used the toes on her left foot to snag the handcuff key without his noticing. He leaned down and closed his eyes, Minene giving him a light peck on the cheek to slake her own request and ease the officer's suspicions. "There. now, was that so difficult?" She asked him.
"I suppose not. Now you stay here and keep quiet, and we might let you go on good behavior." The officer said, both of them sharing a chuckle at the obvious humor.
Minene waited for the officer to step back out into the hallway before she took the key and used it to unlock her handcuffs. She looked at her diary, which said 'after the officer checks in, knock him out with the nitrous oxide, take his clothes and cuff him to the bed'. When she heard the officer call over the radio that the check in was good, she quietly slipped out of the bed and reached outside of the room, grabbing the officer and pulling him inside. She chopped him in the throat to keep him from yelling, then turned on the gas and put the mask on him. He soon faded from consciousness and she went to work. She took off his clothes, lugged him up onto the bed, cuffed him and started dressing herself in his clothes. She looked in the mirror as she removed her bandages, revealing that they had went the extra step to make her glass eye match her real one. She put her hair up in a ponytail, then took a pair of scissors and cut a few inches off of her hair, then pulled the covers up on him. After that, she laid her hair on his head so it looked like she was still in the bed. "Now, to make a hasty exit." She said to herself.
Looking at her diary before leaving, she noted that the way was clear for her to get all the way to the stairs to leave. Other officers waved to her, as did the hospital staff. Once the hallway was clear enough, she shot down the stairs for the parking garage. After about 10 minutes, the radio came alive and the other officers started asking about her. One of the officers went down to check on her, thinking the officer on watch had left to use the restroom. When they got there, they saw what they thought was still Minene, then the other officer checked in. "When you take a restroom break, let us know. I'll take over the watch until you get back." He said over the radio.
Minene chuckled as she entered the parking garage. Her diary told her which car belonged to the officer she had knocked out, she got in and started it. "Hmm. I wonder if I should tell them now. Nah, I'll let them find out on their own."
The officer's car left the hospital parking garage and tore off down the freeway. The radio came alive again. "What the hell, did you fall in? Get your ass back here so I can go eat already."
Thinking the officer's radio might have a tracker in it, Minene threw it out the window. "Don't need that leading them right to me."
...
The next morning, Yuno and Yuki were sitting down to breakfast at Yuki's house. The news came up that Minene had escaped the hospital using the officers clothes and car. "What the hell! Weren't they watching her?" Yuki spat out.
"She is really crafty, I'm not really too surprised. Her diary probably helped her get out of there." Yuno responded.
Yuki's phone buzzed with a text message from Minene. 'How did you like my escape?'
'I'm actually surprised you did that without killing anyone.' Yuki texted back.
'I felt sorry for the officer. He was dumb enough to let me go.'
'What do you mean, let you go?'
'He got close enough to let me get his key, I got out of my cuffs and knocked him out. After that, it was easy.'
'Where are you now?' Yuki asked, sure she'd catch on.
'Haha, you think I'll tell you that easily? I'm crazy, not stupid.'
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised either. She's been able to outrun authorities in other countries, she's even been able to keep out of sight of Interpol." Yuno sighed.
"What do you think we should do?" Yuno asked, continuing to much on breakfast.
"Well, hopefully she won't feel too sore at us. I mean, we didn't turn her in, whoever she went to about her eye turned her in."
Yuno stopped cold. "Wait, they didn't take her diary?"
"Maybe they just thought it was a cell phone. Plus, if she had called or texted someone to come help her, they would've been seen coming in."
Both of them finished up their breakfast and went to get ready for their day. After breakfast, they were planning on starting to look for more diary owners. School had been cancelled for the rest of the week, in the wake of Minene's attack. They weren't scheduled to be at their transfer school until the following Monday. They heard of a cult that followed a girl who seemed to be able to tell the future, which was a dead giveaway.
...
Once she was clear of the city and in a safehouse, Minene changed from the police officer's clothes and into her familiar OD green fatigues and black tank top. She kept the gun, ammunition and vest, however. She had ditched the officer's car at a chop shop that took the car, would disable the tracking unit and give her another, less expensive car in exchange for the shop keeping the police car.
"First order of business is to knock off that doctor who turned me in." Minene grumbled.
Going through her usual contacts, she got hold of the doctor. "Miss Uryuu, I see the police couldn't keep you in one place for long." The doctor said, nervous about the betrayal.
"You know I'm going to kill you, right?"
The doctor could feel his blood running cold. "Let's not do anything hasty, now. I'm sure we can come to an agreement."
"Oh, I agree about that. I'll just have to kill you first. Or maybe your family. How's your dear mother doing? I understand she's at that nice village a few miles north of where you put me under."
"Please, don't bring my family into this. Is there anything we could do to avoid that?"
Minene twirled her hair while she casually thought of torture methods. "Hmm... First, you can answer me a question. Why'd you turn me in?"
"Honestly, it was the reward. If it means anything, I'll give you the reward."
"A tempting offer. I'll take half of it. I want to show that not all criminals are backstabbers like yourself."
Minene's next stop was an informant. She wanted to look up information about the other known diary owners. She paid well, having reward money from the doctor. She already knew about the third and fourth, so she didn't need any of their information. The informant took the money and called in the information with the plant at the national court system, who pulled up information based on names. Faxes started coming through, and the informant handed Minene all of the information in folders. Flipping through Yuki's information didn't take long, as he was essentially as bland and boring as he claimed to have been. "This kid's a stick in the mud. And it looks like I called it, parents divorced. Dad's in debt, mom's fairly average."
Next, she looked at Yuno's files. One startling piece of information really stuck out with her, in that her family owned a national Bank. "Father is always busy at work, mother stays at home. Her psych tests are... Alarming, to say the least. I wonder if I can get her away from first, that level of psychopathy could work to my advantage. Plus, with what her diary monitors, I'll be able to keep tabs on him."
Wanting to get started on things, Minene decided to get the ball rolling with text messages. 'How about the three of us team up and take on all of the other diary owners?'
Yuno didn't take too long to respond. 'Why are you interested in a team up? I thought you worked alone.'
'Normally, but I figure if we get together, your diaries working with mine would be unstoppable.'
'How so?' Yuno started getting curious.
'Firsts diary is random, yours follows him, and mine is escape. You two can move about, and I can back you up with escape routes since I'll be there with you.'
'I'll have to talk it over with Yuki, but it sounds like a good idea to me.'
'Good. I'll be in touch.'
