Anywho, read on!!)
Tanzi yawned and opened her small eyes to the ceiling. 'Great. Today's the day we go to America.' After doing the necessary things, she got dressed, and yawned again. Tanzi turned to her open backpack, and checked that her wallet and passport were fitted inside. Her passport wasn't. Tanzi looked hurriedly around the room, and went to her desk, moving papers and booklets aside. One such booklet fell to the floor on an open page, entitled 'The Brooklyn Bridge'.
She found her passport under a poster with the Statue of Liberty situated on the front of the poster, with the words 'Live the American Dream!' Tanzi checked for her tickets, and breathed a sigh of relief that it was there. Double-checking everything, Tanzi hefted her backpack onto her shoulder, and took off through the front door, locking said door behind her.
The small, yet homely boat lay on the ocean; the only thing stopping it from drifting away was a rope tying it to a jutting rock from the Cliffside. The boat was dark grey, and consisted of two lower cabins, a kitchen, an eating area, and the deck. On the deck were three plastic chairs surrounding a dark green plastic table, which had three legs holding it up. The steering room was also on the deck, at the front, looking over the sea.
In the plastic chairs, three women sat. The first two was Paige Calloway and Rose Leardel, and the third person was a 26-year old woman named Emma Jones. She was tall with jet black hair cascading over her shoulders. She was wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, and a leather jacket covering the shirt. Everything about her looked threatening, everything but her blue eyes, which showed that she wasn't all bad.
"Why did you bring me here to this boat?" she asked Rose, sitting with her legs crossed.
"Okay. First off, my name is Rose Leardel, and this is Paige Calloway." Paige nodded, concentrating on Emma. "We two are experts on death, and we are searching for others. Such as you. I know for a fact that you were present at the Flight 180 disaster, the Route 23 pile-up, the McKinley Subway crash, the McKinley Speedway disaster, when you started to research all about death, but I want to know more about you."
"Wait one moment. You two are complete strangers to me, you haven't explained about yourselves yet. Sure, you found out about what I do, and what I research, but how did you find me? And is there only you two?"
"Well, I'm Ian Leardel's wife, a survivor of the..." Rose started, but got cut off as Emma interrupted her.
"Survivor of the Orbis Incident, right? He got killed later in a freak accident when a car collided into him, and in turn into a window, with the glass cutting his throat."
Rose closed her eyes for a moment, reliving the memory of finding out that her husband had died when she came back from vacation. "Yes. That's him. Shorty after, I started to research all about death, and vowed to myself I'd collect the very best experts to defeat Death once and for all."
"And what about you?" Emma asked to Paige, who was listening intently.
"My ex-boyfriend and my friend, Kevin Fisher and Ian McKinley, died in the Devil's Flight Incident. I started researching death, and now I want to... I need to defeat death, and I can with Rose's help, after she explained to me." Paige explained with steely eyes.
"Are you both loners like me? No friends to speak of?"
"My friend was my husband, who as I said, is dead. I don't need friends, although I welcome them." Rose said, looking at Emma.
"And all my friends think I have died, so you know..." Paige trailed off.
"Why can't you reveal yourself?"
"Because I wanted to accompany Rose, and she advised me not to. Anyway, the shock might give someone a heart attack, which would obviously be dangerous."
"Wait a moment..." Emma scrunched up her brow. "Paige... Calloway? Aren't you a survivor of the Emporium Collapse? It was all over the news that you and a Tanzi Sakamoto were suspected for murder, which I didn't believe at all."
"Yes. I am."
Emma looked up to the air, and sighed. "No-one will miss me. Count me in. Who is your next 'target'?"
"None-other than the best expert in Death who has ever lived. William Bludworth"
Tanzi opened the door to the morgue, breathing in the sterile air. The corridor was homely, with dark brown wood lining the floor. She walked forward, opening the main door. William, Zack, Lacey and Jade were all standing, backpacks on their shoulders.
"Geez. I hate waking up this early." Jade moaned, yawning and rubbing her eyes.
"Are you ready?" William asked, who instead of a backpack, carried a suitcase in his hand.
"Yes. How long until we go?" Tanzi asked, blinking.
William raised his wrist, and looked at the silver watch on his wrist. "Right about now. So, get in the car outside, and we'll make our way to the Navis Ferry."
(So, that's that then. Emma belongs to protector91, and a reminder that Tanzi belongs to DI Doctorwho, Zach belongs to mentosgoboom, Lacey belongs to kyra1201, Jade belongs to one heart that stands alone, Paige belongs to angie2282, William belongs to whoever made the FDfilms, and Rose belong to me! Till next time!!)
