Chapter 2
People on the streets were screaming, running for their lives. Mothers hurriedly carry their children to safety. In a corner with crowded vendors and peoples, they discussed and gasped. Train pushed forward from the crowd quickly. And he saw, Rinslet on the floor. Blood splattered everywhere. She was injured on her right arm and abdomen. She was crying with pain, Train have to do some basic first aid immediately like applying pressure on the bleeding.
"Jenos...Jenos...Call...him...tell him to find...me" Rinslet grabbed his forearm as she managed to spit out the words.
"Don't talk, Rinslet." Train ordered. "Someone call the ambulance!"
Rinslet was coughing blood out.
"Your abdomen is hemorrhaging." He said a little panicked. Rinslet gave him a pleading look, her hand trying to dig her right pocket. Train furrowed his eyebrow but he reached to her pocket and found a cell phone.
"Call...Jenos..." Her dry throat coughed again, blood spitting out. The siren of ambulance could be heard.
"The ambulance is here, you can closed your eye now." Train comforted her.
She smiled as the paramedics pulled out the stretcher. Train hold her cell phone and went back to the hotel.
Train pressed the doorbell, expecting Sven to open the door.
The door flunked open.
"Oh, it's you." Eve muttered. " I thought it's Rinslet." She left and sat on the bed again.
"Where's Sven?"
"Buying."
"..." Train on the television, a biography of a cat named Fifi was on show. He changed the channel.
The door clicked open. "I'm back! Anyone missed me?" Sven greeted.
"..."
Sven muttered under his breath so quietly that only he himself can hear. But Eve thought that she heard Sven said, "Janice."
Sven threw a bottle of milk to Train. And in exchange, he gave him an envelope of money he got from catching the criminal.
"So what took you so long?" Sven turned his head to his right to see what Train was doing. Train swallowed and started. "Well, I was walking and then I accidentally slammed into a guy..." He babbled off like machine gun, telling them everything he saw and his hunches. Sven paused for a moment.
" First, why is Rinslet here?" Sven asked himself.
"Second, who shot her and what is her relationship with the shooter?" Train continued.
"And third, why did she want Jenos so much?" Eve added another mystery.
"Speaking of Jenos, who is he?" Sven asked Train in a suspicious tone.
"He is one of the Chronos member. No. 7 if I'm not mistaken."
Sven nodded his head, understood.
"Wait," Train dug his pocket, searching for Rinslet's cell phone. Eve stared at him with wide eyes like she was waiting for her ice cream.
"I forgot to call Jenos." Train grinned stupidly.
"What the he-" Sven and Eve muttered.
He dialed Jenos.
"Hello Rinslet?" a voice was heard.
"Um, actually is me, Train."
"What have you did to her? You kidnapped her? I swear I will kill you with my...'' Jenos went berserk.
"Hey hey chill." Train explained him everything-twice.
"So...you mean her condition is stable now?" Jenos's tone was calmer.
"Erm,"Train looked at Sven, ready for trouble. "I'm not sure about that, but-"
"WHAT? SHE IS YOUR FRIEND TOO AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE..." Jenos couldn't control himself.
Train faced Sven again and found him trying not to laugh really hard. He could also hear Eve's giggles.
"Hey," Eve ran to the bed and gripped Rinslet's hand firmly.
Train went in the ward, followed by Sven.
"Thank you for calling Janus-" Rinslet thanked Train but he hold up his right hand to stop her.
"I got an absolutely horrible conversation with him." Train said.
"Hmph, but thank you for saving my Rinslet." Jenos's musical voice can be heard behind Sven.
"You came back," Rinslet seems happy. "with flowers-again."
Janus chuckled softly and Sven thought of something.
"What do you mean by 'my Rinslet'"Eve and Sven asked together at the same time.
"We are dating." At the same moment, Rinslet and Jenos replied gazing at each other.
"What the hell?" Train added.
"No wonder-" Sven went stuck.
Eve couldn't help herself by dropping open her mouth.
A moment of uncomfortable silence.
"Now I know why you went haywire this noon." Train snapped.
"Couldn't help it, can't I?" Jenos scratched his head.
"Then, who shot her?" Sven asked.
"Just another enemy of mine." Rinslet shrugged.
"So you actually come here to do a job and date?" Eve released her grip.
"You can say that." Rinslet grinned.
Suddenly, Sven's cell phone rang. He answered and went beetroot red. He ended the conversation and cleared his throat.
"What?"
"Who is it?" Everyone asked.
"Erm..someone."
"Male or female?" Jenos shot.
Sven went tomato red.
"Bingo. You have a crush on her, right?" Jenos spotted out in a second.
"No wonder stray cat like me sense you fishy these few weeks..." Train snorted.
"So that makes everyone here have a date: Sven got Janice, Janus got Rinslet. All except Train." Eve concluded.
"You have a date?" Sven turned to her.
She nodded her head and took out a really thick book from her backpack. She pointed on that book and said,"Him."
Another moment of uncomfortable silence.
"Hey, it's already 7 p.m. Let's have dinner." Sven glanced at his watch.
It's now 9 p.m. The fireworks were shooting up to the glimmering night sky. Janus was sitting together with Rinslet, hand in hand. Sven with Janice and Eve with Train.
Suddenly, memories of Saya flashed back. He was holding Saya on his hands, tears rolling down his cheek. Saya's beautiful eyes closed and she went stiffed.
"Here's a tissue.'' Eve passed to him.
Again, in the very same day he didn't realized he was crying for Saya again.
I really hope you all will like it... It was my first story I just thought about it at my trip back to my hometown.. I'm a big fan of Black Cat, and I found that there will be Black Cat Part 2 at June 2010. I was rather naive ain't I? After all, I was only 14 this year.. Anyway, I couldn't wait until my imagination wonder off again...
