Chapter 4
Frankie peeked out to see what was going on. She went up to me and Berry, ready to give Berry a talking to. She grabbed Berry by the hand and pulled her aside.
"Please tell me you weren't trying to kill Bloo." Frankie said, "For if you were, I'm sorry, this isn't a good place for you. If you'd like to stay here, we need to be kind to one another, understand, Berry?"
"I don't care." Berry said, "All I want to see is blood shed right now. I'm psychotic. Let me bleeding be."
"Berry, you come back here this instant! Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is unsafe with you around!"
"You think I care?" Berry asked, "I will come back every time I have failed Bloo. And since my crush defies me, he will die. It's his choice, wench, it ain't mine. So, don't get in my way!
"Hey, sister! What gives you the right to speak to Frankie that way?! Let alone my friends! Oh, you sure have the bloody nerve, you wench! Why I oughta!" I shouted.
"Are you sure you want to start this, Detective? Are you sure you're sure?" Berry asked.
"Damn straight." I said.
"OK then,but the clock is ticking. Afternoon's coming, but Mac cannot get between us. Between this fight." Berry said.
"I beg to differ." I said.
"Dammit, Detective! You're so difficult!" Berry shouted, "Fine! That bloody little shit can help on one condition!"
"You're really gonna do this?" I said, "You're not only nuts, you're absolutely terrible! Pathetic, need be! But what's the stupid condition?"
"You will love me forevermore." Berry said, "And always confide in me no matter what."
I hesitated.
"Deal." I said, holding out my hand.
"You don't seem too confident, dear." She said.
"I'm not, but I'll do what I must." I replied.
"Good enough." She said, licking her knife before she put it back.
"But I will still try my best to bring justice to Foster's if it's the last thing I do."
