"Hurry up and give me the questions then. We don't have all day," I sigh.

"Okay. First question did you kill those two people? If so, why?"

"I did kill those two people in an act of self defense. They were assassins, it was me or them."

"Second question. What were there stand abilities, if they had any."

"One of them was 'Material Girl' who could change things into different things and the other was 'Savage Garden' who could possess grass."

"Final question. Why are they coming after you?"

"I wish I knew that myself. I've been roped into something I don't even know about."

She writes down my responses onto a notepad.

"I'm coming with you, even though I'll probably die trying to find out what's happening, I can at least help you out a small bit."

Damn, something tells me she's gonna die in the near future.

Lucia's POV

I had decided to join up with this kid, I wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, maybe even more than he did. We got some rooms at a nearby hotel for a couple of days, while we figure out what we're gonna do. I had a room by myself, and Mina and Jin shared a room. Two beds per room, a desk, a fridge, a TV, a bathroom. All the bare essentials. I walked out of the room and got to the lobby. They had several magazines and newspapers in the lobby, I had gotten the most recent newspaper I could find. I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched by everyone. Probably just me being paranoid. I returned to my room, and put the current form of Sure Shot onto the desk and read the newspaper. I skimmed through the articles, scanning each headline, looking for something that could lead me in the right direction. Bingo! Several cases of paralyzed politicians and business men, recorded in the same alleyway every night. According to Jin's experience with 'Locked Away', if it steals someone's soul, then they become lifeless and paralyzed. The alleyway was nearby, so I had to do some private investigating. If the reports are accurate, then I should be able to get some information without being spotted, anyways. Night rolled around. Making sure Jin and Mina weren't following me, I picked up my camera and left for the alleyway. This was a risky move, if I messed up I probably wouldn't be coming back to the hotel alive or in one piece, anyways. I took a precautionary measure because of that thought. I slipped my hotel roomkey halfway through Jin's room. If I didn't come back, they'd probably investigate my room. I left a note there, explaining what I'm about to do. I hope I'll be needing to receive my room key after tonight. I walk into the alleyway, it was dark and no one seemed to be there. It was a straight alleyway. I could see the other side from the entrance, as well as another path leading into one of the buildings next the alleyway. So far nothing. I walk to the end of the alleyway slowly, with the torch I brought lighting the ground in front of me. I feel a sudden chill, I turn around quickly. Nothing. I look back at the end of the alleyway. A double door opened wide so I could reach the other side and leave this creepy alleyway, perhaps I could find something on that side? I walk through the double door at the end of the alleyway. Then I realize something, "A double door suddenly appearing in an alleyway?".

Then I realize something else, a sharp pain on my foot, and then another thing, I'm back at the entrance of the alleyway, I'm no longer at the end, in front of the exit, in front of the double doors. I look behind me, the double doors were on that end too! Double doors were now on the entrance and the exit, I rush to the entrance to the neighboring building, when I turned to go towards there, I get blocked off by nothing! Something was stopping me from going that way!

"What the hell's happening!?" I yell, running towards the exit again. I could feel my shoe starting to fill with blood. I run through the double doors again, they opened in front of me, as if air was pushing them open. I ran through them, and ended up at the entrance again, I could feel blood pouring into my other shoe now, the same sharp pain. I look behind me this time. Above the door, was a strange creature. Some kind of blue thing [It looks like Underworld in a way, but slightly different, so just picture it as Underworld (Versace's stand from part 6, just in case you haven't read the manga)] it was wielding a shiny knife, I could see through the knife's blade. Was this the thing that was making this alleyway loop back to the beginning? Was this the thing that was stopping me from entering the neighboring building?

"Hurry up and Come Out! You need to leave so they can see you!" The blue thing said, pointing at the door that was the 'exit'.

I didn't know what to do, I was scared, really scared. I'm stuck in a loop, if I walk through the doors at the end, then I return to the beginning, and that thing cuts me from my left foot, to my right foot, and up my left leg then my right leg and so on. If I walk through the door I'll die, if I do nothing I'll rot away in here! Is this the price that I have to pay for joining with those two?

"Help! Somebody Help me!" I yell in vain.

"Nobody can hear you scream in this alleyway. That is one of my abilities," It explains.

Nobody can hear me scream!? Nobody can come rescue me? Shit. I guess this really is the end. I drag myself back to the exit door, and walk through it. A sharp pain in my leg, just above me foot. I turn around, looking at the 'entrance'. I walk towards it and try to open the door, but it's no use. It won't budge. I'm stuck in here. I'm really going to die.

I bundle myself up into a ball, I know I'm an adult, but what else am I supposed to do in this situation? Keep running through the door, keep getting, keep bleeding?

"Are you Lucia Shinjitsu per chance?" Said a voice.

"Who are you? Where are you?" I shot up, glancing around frantically.

"Answer the question," they said in an unfriendly tone.

"Yes, I am. Why do you want to know?" I ask.

"Good, that means I caught the right person. You have become a victim to my stand, 'Never Ending Tunnel'. It has the ability to turn a pathway whose exit is front of it's entrance into a loop. Every time you walk through the doors at the end, well, you know what happens. I'm my boss' executioner. He makes me get rid of people he doesn't want snooping around. His stand should be entering soon so you can have a peaceful death," They said.

Fuck that! I ain't dying to their boss, now that I know he's coming, I need to think of a way to get Jin and Mina to get near here. Then I remember that Jin has a phone on him. I dial his number, quickly. It's ringing, I need them to get here quickly!

Jin's POV

I was sleeping peacefully, but then, an infernal racket woke up both me and Mina. It was my phone, Lucia was calling.

"Hello? What the hell are you doing, calling us at a time like this?" I ask, making sure my annoyance was clear in my voice.

"I don't have time for your sass! I'm bleeding from my left foot, my right foot, and a little bit from my left leg. Come to the alleyway closest to the hotel, but don't go in it, it's a trap!" She responds.

"What do you mean a trap? Is there an enemy stand user there? Are you fighting someone?"

"No, just come here quickly, apparently their boss is coming!"

She hung up on me. I sighed and we got out of our beds. We ran to the point that Lucia told us to go to. I couldn't see any signs of danger. I looked into the alleyway, there wasn't anyone in it, I shone a flashlight into it and everything.

"Was this just a prank? It's not very funny," I sigh.

Mina insists that I stay, but I can't be bothered. I hand Mina my phone so she can take any incoming calls. I'm returning to the hotel.

Lucia's POV

I got up from the ground and put my phone away. They should be outside by now, I hope. I don't know what to do now. Sure Shot is useless in this situation. Then, an overwhelmingly powerful feeling enters the hallway. In the darkness I make out a shape, a humanoid figure, wearing a cloak. Then I realize what it is. According to Jin's description, this should be Locked Away. I've run out of time. It was slowly making it;s way to me, I have no idea how I'm going to get out of this. I sat there, until it was so close that I could see it clearly. By that point I couldn't stay still, and I ran through the doorway, forgetting about what would happen. A cut to my right leg made me remember.

"You have nowhere to run Lucia Shinjitsu. You will die here," It says, moving towards me.

Then I hear louder footsteps, rushing towards this alleyway, was it the stand user? I move back to the exit, pressing myself again't the wall, when I realize the shape of someone else, draped in black. This was the stand user of Locked Away! I took a picture of him with Sure Shot's flash on, in order to blind him, and then I smashed Sure Shot onto his head. It was a sacrifice that had to be made. I had his picture I can reveal his identity to Jin and Mina, we can get closer to solving this mystery. I couldn't worry about the 'executioner' right now, I had to deal with this guy. I made sure he was still on the ground, he was. That's when I noticed an item at my feet. A shiny, black coin. It had a small message engraved into it, "If you are seeing this, you have been destined to die."

What!?

Then I feel a grip on my head, it struggled and tried to attack the attacker that was behind me, but it was no use.

"This is Locked Away's secondary ability! He has the power to make the veins in whatever part of your body that he touches burst!" The man said.

"Wh-"

I looked at my phone, it had been sent! Yes! I did it!

Mina's POV

Goddamn that Jin! He just left. I rushed towards the alleyway, taking in a slow breath a few time's a walked into the alleyway. It was dark, sure, but not scary. It was straight, I could see the other end of it from here. Something rushed into my head, telling me to run to the entrance of a neighboring building. I saw what my head was talking about and rushed there. Then the alleyway shifted, and some other guy was there.

"Who the fuck are you?" I asked him, with a confused tone.

"I could ask you the same thing, how'd you get here when my stand was blocking this off?" He asked.

Oh, this guys the enemy stand user. OK. A few seconds later he was lying on the ground. I don't think he's dead. This stand ability of his evaporated, and then...POP!A loud spurting sound, actually. I looked out at the hallway. I held back my screams and hid.

Lucia Shinjitsu hasdied(?)!

Stand Name: Sure Shot

Cause of death(?): Blood loss

She was destined to die as soon as she joined Jin and Mina, even though she knew this, she joined anyways. In her efforts, she revealed the Boss' identity and weakness to light!

I waited for a few minutes before looking back in. He was gone, and all that he left was Lucia's body. Unlike me, who had my left arm's veins burst, Lucia's head was targeted, making sure she'd die instantly. I approached the body, Sure Shot was broken, I rummaged through her pockets, all she had was her phone. I felt Jin's phone buzz. I ignored it, and took Lucia's bloodied phone. I turned it on, fixing it with Crazy Diamond. Then I realized something, I went back to Lucia, and used Crazy Diamond and repaired her head. I hope that that'll be enough for the professionals to save him. He may be dead, but he could still be partially alive, I used up all my energy repairing the phone, if I had thought of fixing him first... I returned to the hotel after making sure the ambulances found him (And that other guy) and went back into the room.
