Ok folks, it's been a day, and I decided to write up chapter 2. Just a note for the future, don't expect very long chapters, unless you want me to update less frequently. I'm more of the kind of person who would write lots of small chapters, instead of long small chapters. But, don't expect no large chapters at all. Anyways, here's the chapter.

The next Morning

Eureka wasn't up yet. She couldn't get up yet. At this rate, it looks like she wouldn't ever get out of bed, unless there was something she could learn relating to the incident. Luckily, Mischa entered her room.

"Eureka? I was wondering if-"

"Yeah, sure."

"Huh? But you don't even know what I was going to say, I wanted to see if-" She was cut off again.

"I wanted to hear exactly what happened, and how he died with just one bullet to the chest, right?"

"Uh, yes..."

"Yes, I'll come with you."

They walked down the hall of the Gekko, being the only ones awake at five in the morning. Eureka couldn't stand the loss of Renton, and Mischa was experimenting how he died with what seemed like a non-fatal shot to the torso.

"Ok, I'll explain it from the start. I saw and heard it all from the security tapes, so we'll start at... 1:47 am. Remember, right here, when he told you to get back?"

"Yeah..." said Eureka, with a depressed look on her face.

"My best bet is that he realized why her pistol looked slightly bigger than normal."

"It was?"

"See for yourself." She watched the security video, and sure enough, it was bigger than Renton's.

"So, it's bigger, what does this mean?"

"Well, if we look at it frame by frame, you can see for yourself what it was." Mischa resumed the video, in ultra slow-motion.

"That's...that's a..."

"Yes. Somehow she had modified the pistol to fit a sniper bullet."

"Oh my god, R-Renton..." Tears started forming under her eyes.

"Why did you have to die!?! WHY?!"

"It's ok, Eureka. You want me to take you back to your room? Talho wanted to talk to you." Eureka nodded.

Everything had calmed down at around 2:10 am earlier that morning, when Holland and the others returned, they decided to talk about what had happened the next morning, at Noon. Eureka wasn't there to hear that, so Talho went to tell her.

"Hey Eureka, how are you feeling?" Talho said, as she entered the coralian's room.

No response.

"Well, we decided to talk about everything today, in about an hour. If you don't wanna come, then that's fine."

"I'll come."

"You sure? I mean-"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be there."

"Ok then, bye."

Talho exited.

"Renton, I miss you, I wish I could be with you just a little longer."

"I miss you too, Eureka."

"What?! Who said that?"
