Hey, hope you enjoy chapter 2.
Song lyrics: Writings on the wall by Sam Smith
A quick thanks to Mortisvenom for being my beta reader.
I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay
The black mustang bursted through the gates, sparks shot out of the mustang and the sleek black paint scratched and dents appeared. The car slammed into the blond haired man and he went flying into the ground. Ruby stopped before she ran him over.
"Ruby, what the hell!" Weiss screamed, as she saw her beautiful car get scarred horribly.
"Hey, its okay this car is a police car, right? They have insurance for this kind of thing." Ruby said as she got out of the car.
"That is true. But, this car doesn't belong to the police it belongs to me!." Weiss said as she got out of the car and looked at the damage done to the car.
"Oh, I am so sorry! I didn't know. I'll pay for the damages I swear!" Ruby said, her eyes went wide with shock and guilt.
"No, its fine" Weiss said with a grimace. "Well, we broke into a crime family's head quarters know what?"
"We knock on the door." Ruby said, with a sneer. She placed her baseball cap back on her head.
Ruby walked up the set of large wooden doors of the large white mansion that Tobias used to call home. She reached up and knocked a large ominous boom sounded. A few seconds later the sound of footsteps could be heard and a thin red haired man opened the door with one hand, he held a hand gun in the other.
"Hey!" Ruby said cheerfully before punching him in the nose, He fell down.
The man screamed and large amounts of blood began to leak from his nose. Ruby shook her hand, "You okay?" Weiss asked.
"No, I think that bitch broke my nose!" The man screamed one hand covering his nose.
"I wasn't talking to you!" Weiss said.
"Yeah, am fine. His nose was just really pointy." Ruby said as she took her gun from her holster.
Weiss responded with pulling her gun out her holster too. She pistol whipped the red haired man and he fell down again. This time knocked out.
Ruby moved down a large hallways with mulitple enteries and she would make slow turns at every branch off point. The voice of Ruby's instructor rang through her head, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast"
They reached the end of the hallway with no problem. Ruby made a gester with her hands that told Weiss that they would breach the next room.
Weiss nodded and Ruby counted down from five using her fingers. Right after she finished she kicked the door open and Weiss entered first checking the right side of the room while leaving Ruby with the left side.
Inside there was a desk and a man with red hair and a bowler hait sat in a large brown swivel chair. Two armed guards stood on either side of him.
BANG! BANG!
Both guards had tried to pull out thir guns put Ruby and Weiss shot them in the shoulders before they could fire. "Damn, Red. You've grown up. Have you come to ask for cash again, because with my new position I think I can make that happen."
"Ruby, what is he talking about?" Weiss asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Ruby said, never takeing her eyes off Roman. "And if you say anything. I will kill you."
"Fine." Roman said placing his hands protectivly over his face.
"We don't have to talk about it now. But, we will." Weiss said. "Now, what do you know about your previous boss' death?"
"Tobias? I have no idea. The only time he conntacted me was when something big was happening. Other then that he didn't contact me." Roman said. "Well, if that is all red, can you leave? Cause I am a very busy man."
"I don't believe you." Ruby said as she slappped Roman. "What do you know about Tobias' death!"
"I swear, I don't anything!" Roman said, with a smirk.
Ruby slapped him twice, grabbing . Before asking him again, "What do you know about his death!"
"Well, the only thing I know is that. A few weeks ago he contacted me and told me that he believed someone was following him. I sent my men and found nothing." Roman chuckled, "Well now he is dead."
"Wow! I didn't think that he would tell us that information so easily." Weiss said surprised.
"Oh, I didn't do it because I was threatened. I did it because my idiots of men have finally arrived to protect me. Like they were supposed to two minutes ago!" Roman said as he nooded his head towards the door.
Ruby turned her head towards the door and found at least three cars pulling into the drive way. She pistol whipped Roman and he fell off his chair, knocked out. "Weiss. We got to go!" Ruby said in a sing song voice, grabbing Weiss hand and pulling her to the stairs.
Ruby ran up the stairs, dragging Weiss behind her. They where at the second level, when they began to hear about a dozen people coming inside the front door. "Wait, a second." Weiss said as she leaned against the wall.
"We don't have a second." Ruby said, as she looked down to see the shadows of multiple people slowly coming up the stairs.
"Well. If you had told me that we were going to be running. I wouldn't have worn these heels!" Weiss screamed.
A loud and rough voice responded, "they're up stairs!" Then the sound of running men filled the house.
"Oops." Weiss said. Ruby then picked Weiss up in a bridal carry and began to run all the way to the roof.
Weiss yelped, "Put me down! Yo-you dolt!"
"Sure, so those guys could catch up to us, right?" Ruby said with a smirk.
"Nevermind, don't put me down. Just go!" Weiss said. "Wow, Ruby is really strong. I never realized that."
Before she new it they were at the roof of the building, Ruby locked the door that led to the roof. "Great, Now what. We are stuck here with alot of people that want to kill us right on the other side of the door."
"Shut up let me think." Ruby said as she put Weiss down. She ran to the edge of the building that next to the ocean, and looked down. It looked like it was deep enough for someone to survive the fifty foot fall from the top of the building to the ocean.
"Hey Weiss, can you come here quickly." Ruby said, as she heard a large crash to the door.
Almost immediately Weiss appeared to her side, and she looked considerably smaller, Ruby looked down and realized that Weiss took off her heels. "Hey, do you trust me?" Ruby asked, just as the door slammed opened and fully armed men started to pour out.
"What! No!" Weiss said as she backed away from Ruby.
"Well, too bad." Ruby said as she pushed Weiss off the edge of the building and into the water.
"RUUBBBYYY!" Weiss screamed as she fell.
Ruby jumped off the edge of the building just as a round of gunshots went off and she let out a small scream as she fell.
Ruby gasped as she pulled herself up onto the dock with her left arm. She looked up to see a very angry and wet Weiss glaring at her. Her White hair clung to her skin and shined with the setting sun.
"What the hell, Ruby! I lost my car!" Weiss said as she crossed her arms, her eyes scanned Ruby and she suddenly noticed that Ruby was bleeding from her right arm. Suddenly her anger melted away, "Oh my god, Ruby! Are you okay!?"
"Yeah, They just nicked me in the arm. Its nothing to worry about." Ruby said as she collasped onto the dock.
"Okay, Ruby. I have a deal." Weiss said.
"And what would that be." Ruby said as she pointed to the sky.
"If you stop being so gun ho, I will be more... nice." Weiss said, with a strained smile.
"Deal." Ruby said as she made a make shift bandage with a piece of her shirt.
"Now how are we going to get back to the VPD without a car!" Weiss asked as she leaned over to look at Ruby.
"Have you ever heard of public transportation." Ruby said as she sat up so fast that she almost knocked into Weiss.
"We are not taking a bus." Weiss said.
Thirty minutes later, Weiss was sitting quite uncomfortably next to Ruby in a public bus. "So what are we going to do when we reach the VPD."
"We are going to talk to the profiler." Weiss said as she shifted in her seat.
"Why the profiler?" Ruby asked.
"I wasn't sure about it first, but after talking to Roman and how he told us that Tobias thought he was being followed before being killed confirmed it. The first victim word that was carved into her back, LUST. The second was GLUTTONY. He is going to kill seven people, one for each of the deadly sins. The only ones left is, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Greed, and Envy." Weiss whispered. "The profiler will help us figure out what the killer is thinking."
"OHHH" Ruby said.
"Also while we are asking questions. What did Roman mean by do you want some more money?" Weiss asked.
"What happened to your partner?" Ruby responded before turning away. "See we all have our secrets."
"Yes, well doesn't my secret doesn't imply that I am in debt to the leader of a crime syndicate!" Weiss said. "I f you won't tell me, I am goint to have a talk with our boss."
Ruby stiffened, before turning around and looking at Weiss straight in the eyes. "Fine I'll tell you, about ten years ago I got mad at my mom for not letting me go over to a friend house. So I stayed home, while my sister and mom went to get groceries, but they never made it. When they were crossing an intersection, a driver crossed a red light and slammed into them. Killing my mom and putting my sister. Yang, into a coma. I was only 14 at that time." Ruby took a deep breath before continuing. "and my Dad left when I was little so I went to foster home. Then when I turned 18 I finally was able to inherit my mom's money. The only problem was that she did not have that much money, that money had paying Yang's medical bill but when I finally got it. The money was running out. So I tried to figure out ways of finding money, but that led me to some bad people. I was about to get into a bad deal, when one of Yang's closest friends offered to pay her medical bill."
"Wow" Out of all the possible posibilities that went through Weiss' brain that one had not even been one. She suddenly felt a small pang of sadness in her heart and she had a sudden desire to hug the younger girl with all her might, but she controled herself. "So what happened with Yang? Is she still in a comma?"
"Yeah, the doctors said that she is probably not gonna wake up any time soon, but I can't just pull the pulg. I just can't." Ruby said her voice breaking. Weiss realized how painful it was for Ruby to talk about this.
"I am so sorry, Ruby" Weiss said as she hugged Ruby, Ruby stiffened but after a few seconds Weiss felt Ruby's arms wrap around her. "I-I didn't know."
"Its fine." Ruby said, as she pulled out of the hug. She sniffed and wiped her nose. "Shit."
"What happened?" Weiss asked.
"I don't have any spare clothes and the ones I am wearing now are completely soaked." Ruby said as she looked at she clothes.
"Well, that sucks for you. Cause I always have an extra pair of clothes at my desk." Weiss said.
"Oh, that's actually really smart. I think I am gonna do that too." Ruby responded, as the bus began to slow down.
The bus stopped a couple of blocks away from the VPD and as soon as Ruby got off the bus she put on her old red baseball cap. Weiss began to wonder why, Ruby wore that hat, she could easily buy a new one, right?
"Hey Ruby?" Weiss said.
"MM" Ruby answered, walking fast eager, to get back to work.
"Why do you wear that cap so much?" Weiss said, almost immediatly regreating her question, because as soon as the words left her mouth, Ruby froze for a second before walking again. This time much slower.
"Well, it was my mother's one of the only things that she gave me before dying." Ruby said.
"Ohh, I am sorry." Weiss said, beating herself up for being so stupid.
"No its okay. Its like a part of her will always be with me, you know?" Ruby said, her usal cheerfulness coming back.
"Yeah, that makes sense." Weiss said, she was impressed with Ruby. She may not act mature, but underneath she was very strong, and appeared to be an amazing person.
"Well, we have arrived." Ruby said as she stopped in front of the big building that was so familar to Weiss.
"Yup, come on. We have to talk to the profiler." Weiss said, as she entered.
