Chapter 2. A day at the gym.
The next day was my day off so I head to the gym. I'm constantly going there. The need to fight and the stress from yesterday was still flowing in my blood. As I head towards the punching bags I notice that Levi was here as well. He got a lead already? I shake my head and head over to my trainer who was talking to Levi. "Hey, Kira. What's going on? Kira turns startled at first then smiles, "Nothing much just talking to this guy who claims to be a dective." I laugh. "He is one, and his names not 'this guy' it's Levi." A smile was spread across my face. It's always good to have some one around to make you smile. "Really, this shorty." I just simply glare at her as Levi just watches the whole scene unfold. Kira was starting a fight and she knew it.
Before I realized what was going on, the trainer I was talking to was on the ground and Crystal was standing over her with a satisfied smile. "What the.." I never got to finish my question for Kira started to fight back.
As the fight continued I notice that the whole gym was surrounding me and Kira. No doubt making bets on the outcome. Well to the disappointment of the crowd the fight ended in a truce. I turn to Levi who was just standing there. I smile and leave for a punching bag. As I start my daily work out routine, I heard laughing and a conservation start up.
About half way through I heard a smooth voice, "Shouldn't you be out on the streets you little swine?" I completely ignored him knowing that answering would make him worse. I didn't bother to learn the name of the attacker but I knew his voice well. "Go away." I say simply and to my surprise he did. I shook my head and went back to punching my punching bag.
Why is Crystal in the same gym as all the victims were in. And she claims to not know them. Why do I keep thinking about her. Alright tonight I have to go sift, maybe that will clear my head. "Hey sir, your order is ready." The waitress handed him his order and he gave her a 20 and drove off. His computer files on Crystal state that her story she told him was true and he learned that she was orphaned and was to his surprise the only living relative of her family. It's odd but she seems to be connected to the recent murders. But he had no proof. He shook his head and notice that Crystal had moved from the gym to the local park that wasn't too far from the gym.
As I sat down to think about the recent murders I couldn't help but notice that Levi seemed to be keeping an eye on me. He really needs to ask me straight out if he thinks I'm connected to the murders. Wait a minute the murders remind me of my mothers murder. Maybe I am connected! Calm it girl before people ask if your okay. With one last shake of my head I head over to my motorcycle and put my helmet when I notice Levi walking over. I turn to him about to say hi when I notice some one walking different. On pure instinct I jumped to the side and barely dodging a bullet. The gun shot got everyone's attention and total panic rang out. I felt someone take hold of my shoulders trying to pull me away to safety. I instead take his hand and pull him on my bike and took off at high speed. Already knowing that the guy was following me. I take one look over my shoulder as a motorcycle was following me. I also noticed I had Levi on my bike with me. I quickly got to a point where I knew he couldn't follow.
What the hell is going on was all I could think of as we headed on a wore down road, down an alley way, and back on the main road. As we began to slow down I noticed that I had a death grip on Crystal's jacket. "I think we're not being followed anymore." I look at her in shock. She simply smiles and waves down a police car. As the day progressed it seems my gut was correct and she was indeed tied in with all the recent murders. But the only question left was how. It's obvious that the murderer is a vamp. Why is she being targeted? As I pondered these questions that everyone is asking my phone vibrates alerting me that a file was sent from Hangi. The file is all about Crystal who is seated on my right and is looking straight at my phone. She looks at the information for a second and speaks. "If you wanted to know more about my past you could've just asked." Her voice seemed a little quiet for her.
