Chapter 4: Anonymous
Twelve couldn't come fast enough! I attempted to read the manuscript that had been on my coffee table for about a week. I tried to read it really I did but when I was so close to finding my brother, I couldn't seem to get into the story.
I wasn't even really sure what it was about only that it was quiet boring. I wasn't even an English major, course I never finished college, but I knew I could write circles around this guy! McScrooges was only about a ten minute walk so once the clock hit 11:50 I was already donning my black trench coat. I had the door locked within seconds and I was hurrying down the stairs and out of the small apartment.
Hookers lined the street their skirts short enough to show the thongs riding up their asses. There were even some men who were dressed for the occasion. They were leaning in car windows sticking money in their pants, while the women collected the money and stuffed it in their bras.
There were couples leading their Pets around a spiked collar around the Pet's neck and a leather leash attaching to the collar. Every single guy I saw I looked to see if any of them was my brother. I didn't want him to end up like this, I didn't care what I had to do. Hurrying through the Red Light District of Radiant Garden I finally made my way to McScrooges. The letters were decorated in pinks, blues and greens all of it a sickening neon color. It made my head hurt but the locals who lived down close to the Red Light loved this place. During the day it was a normal attraction great for families but during the night once everyone was asleep and the doors were locked it became something grotesque and unspeakable.
Slipping through the alley I was met with my PI he or she I could never tell was taller than I was. Always hiding behind oversized clothing with a hoodie on that covered their face.
"Just on time." The voice came from the horribly oversized clothing and I wondered if all the clothes made them that much taller. Perhaps it was a she and she was wearing heels to make her short stature even taller. Or maybe it was a he and he was just gifted with height unlike myself. Either way I always like to imagine who my PI might be, male or female?
"Wouldn't you be when it concerns someone that you love?" I questioned. The hoodie nodded and held out a small tablet. My PI very rarely talked, instead most messages were relayed to be my a small tablet. They were usually videos or snippets of newspaper clippings that were detailing what had happened the day he went missing. This time it was a small video, something that must have been shot maybe days or weeks ago.
It was of a run down school building and it was quiet for sometime save the birds chirping and the frogs croaking. Whoever it was, was waiting patiently for something to happen. I noticed a limousine parked in the parking lot of the school building. It wasn't long and there was movement, a man with silver or perhaps it was white, it was so hard to tell was dragging what looked like my brother out of the school.
They were close enough to the school that I could see a lot of what was going on but not so close I could hear what they were talking about. A cry erupted from my brother and the man silenced him by slapping him across the face. He said something to him and my brother nodded his eyes shining. Opening the door he climbed in and just like that they were gone. Scrolling past the video I saw a note that my PI had written for me.
This school was here in Radiant Gardens. I've tried getting in to ask them about what happened that day but no one will tell me anything. The name of the school is Radiant High perhaps you can get some more information than I could. Your brothers they may take pity on you and offer any information they have regarding that day. The video was taken several weeks ago one of my contacts somehow stumbled upon it and informed me of it.
The school isn't too far from your apartment, let me know of any information they give you no matter how small it is. I'll continue to do my part and search for where he might be located now.
Looking up I saw a gloved hand reaching out for the tablet. I handed it back soundlessly and nodded. We parted ways soon after but not before I fished out a few hundred dollar bills and handed them to him or her. I would figure it out before or after we found Roxas. But right now my first priority was finding my brother.
A/N: Whelp there we go with chapter 4! Anyone got any guesses as to who are mystery people are? If not that's ok to you only get one guess. If you want to guess now that's fine you can put it in a review or PM me.
