I was seriously lacking inspiration for chapter 3. At first, I didn't even know how or where to start. I didn't want to make it so repetitive with it starting with Mal and Natara in the morning again... Please review? I like reviews... P.S. Smiley stickers for ZeDancingHobbit, BreezyFan, Mozzi-Girl, The Sarcastic Polar Bear, and Just A Beatles Girl. Thanks so much!

DISCLAIMER: I own not, you sue not.

You are now Harry Chintel

You wake up with a start from a vivid nightmare. A girl with a knife chased you and tackled you. Suddenly, you hear a crash. You grab a flashlight and go down the stairs, trembling in horror. Could this still be a dream? You scan the room with your flashlight and come upon a pair of scowling, icy blue eyes. You try to rush upstairs, but you trip! You yell, but you're too slow. The start of the yell comes out, but you are pushed to the side, against the railing of the staircase. The wind is knocked out of you. You are one blow away from unconsciousness, but she seems to want to keep it that way. As she drags you across the tile floor, you slowly regain composure. She brings you outside, and she starts talking to you. She says, "We've met before, my dear, Harry. Don't you remember? You're the one-" She tenses, and you can tell she's gritting her teeth, fuming.

"The one who shattered. my. god. damn. heart! You were never meant to be my boyfriend, you fake! You're a fake! You're a-!"

She whips around, but before she finishes her sentence, you tackle her. She yelps an pulls out a knife. You gasp as she plunges a knife into your neck, just enough to torture you. Your world has turned a hazy red, and you see your entire life flash before your eyes. She kicks your head, but all you manage is a weak gurgle. A burst of light floods through your vision, and then the entire world fades black. Your lips open the slightest bit, and a small groan escapes. You have died.

You are now Aryanna Kune.

You hear sirens wail all around you. You don't want to go to jail, but you know that you're innocent. You remember that first day of this living nightmare, and you know how the police are cold hearted human shells. You channel the thoughts racing in your head, and you realize, you could act like a witness. You just had to give enought information to make the case true, but hard to decipher. You try to look shaken when the tall, handsome policeman steps up to you.

He says, "Hello, I'm Detective Mal Fallon of the SFPD. Can you tell me anything about what happened?" You put on your best 'scared witness' act and say,

"Detective, th-the killer, she was tackled by that victim... It sounded like she was talking to him, and then he tackled her! She had blonde hair. That's all I could see." Mal eyes you suspiciously, noting your blonde hair.

He turns back to a pretty girl in a blazer. You can barely make out the words "really cooperative" from the mumbling.

When he returns to you, he says, with a sudden harsh tone, "What're you not telling us? I want an answer right now."

Your eyes well up with fake terror, and you cower back. You let out a small yelp as you trip backwards over a rock. The girl yanks him back by the collar, and says in a harsh whisper, "Ease up Mal! She's obviously really scared!"

You clear your throat, and mumble, "Detective?" This catches his attention, and he turns back to you. You say, "I just want this killer to be caught. I know that you can be thrown in jail for obstructing a police investigation. I know that witnesses don't like to give information, but I swear on my life, I just gave you all I know."

The man locks eyes with you in a hard stare, and you look at him right back with fake tears welling up in your eyes. The girl looks sympathetic, and she says to Mal, "I think she's telling the truth."

He stiffly says, "Thank you." and walks away. A few yards away, a jumpy guy is looking over Harry with a magnifying glass. He excitedly runs- no, he almost skips over to Mal and that girl that showed up after. He says something you can't comprehend, but it sounds like there might have been a break in the case. You turn around to walk away. Suddenly, the crazy tech stops you. You gasp, genuinely startled, and jump back.

He says, "Hey, don't be startled, Cassidy," He calls you by the fake name you gave him, "We were just going down to run some new information down to the lab. Wanna come?"

You answer almost immediately, "Sure." and try to not wince at your stupidity. You need to think of a way out. As you ride to the precinct in the tech's car, an idea forms in your head.

You are now Forensic Specialist Kai Kalaba

You run more and more tests on little bits and pieces of evidence. You carefully run a wispy blonde hair through the system. There is a trace of DNA from Harry, but you find a stronger match. You gasp and look over towards your right, but all you see is the crime lab door, not even swinging.

-5:25-

You are now Detective Mal Fallon.

You turn away from your conversation with Natara in the hallway, and are almost bulldozed by a surprisingly fast Kai. You and him both stumble back, stunned. You finally break the silence blanketing the area, saying, "Kai, what's this about, and make it quick."

He winks and says, "Ah, I see. Special talk with Agent Hotlips? Eh? Eh?" Natara flushes a rosy crimson and turns away. You glare at Kai and another silence hangs over you like morning fog around the Golden Gate Bridge.

He clears his throat, awkwardly replying, "I think we've found a break in the case." At this, everyone in the precinct turns to look at Kai. He pauses for dramatic effect and says with a flourish,

"We have our prime suspect."

To be continued...

To CoD fans reading this: I'm sorry for being so inactive on fanfic. ;,( To be fair, this story gave me writers block so badly that I wanted to throw my phone at the wall in frustration. (Yes, I write and upload stories from my phone.) It has also been probably the most busy two weeks of summer I've ever experienced! I... Started a two week art camp, was asked to house/cat-sit for my neighbor, went to a pool party, had my cousin over, went to the pool almost every day out of those four days, was persuaded by Rose to become obsessed with the show White Collar, AND restored CoD on my sister's apple ID, thus providing me with free seasons of it! :D The funniest thing is that I don't really have anything else scheduled besides a camping trip for the rest of the summer! So for now, I will try to be more active and such.

Sincerely,

Kyle
