Chapter 4: The Game is On

As I walked back to the apartment, my thoughts drew me back to what had just occurred, it grew my curiosity which could either be described as a good thing or a bad thing, in this case or my case, it was a bad thing, although I didn't realise it at the time. "Why do you this?" I muttered to myself as I came around the block. My friend had left me here with nothing to show for, well he did give me this job, but I suppose he could have done better. People were going by there daily business like nothing had ever happened, the day before.

I half expected the events of yesterday to come up in the newspaper or something, but it didn't. I wondered if Magnus or some other Warlock had covered it up with a memory spell or whatever it is Warlock's do. I came up to the steps of the apartment and noticed something that wasn't there this morning, a mysterious black car. I couldn't make out the design but it was trying it's best to be inconspicuous. Which I found most suspicious, but I paid it no mind, I should have, because that's when my next case started. All because of that strange black car.

Anyway, I got out my keys and entered the apartment. Nothing interesting happend, as I got to my room, I sighed and switched on the Tv, the news wasn't as intersting as I thought, not one mention of the body that was found, which was ok I guess. That meant more paperwork for me, and it allowed me to pay the rent.

Sara wasn't home yet, which wasn't to worrying, so I went to make myself a snack. That was the best part of my day, because I noticed something that I hadn't in a long time, as I went into the kitchen, my eyes were drawn to a photo from the old days. By old days I mean my travels with the Avatar.

The photo was taped onto the fridge because I wanted it there so I could reminisce. "The old gang" I chuckled as I looked at the photo, in it, were my friends, Alex, his girlfriend Ahsoka Tano and, when I focused on the boy with dark black hair, tears started to trickle down my face, this was Sky, my old boyfriend, at least until he turned evil and practically stabbed me in the back (many many times, don't ask!) anyway, I put the photo back as it was too painful, but it got me wondered where Alex and Ahsoka were now, probably the same old thing, travelling about the universe in the TARDIS, fighting aliens. That sought of stuff.

I had to admit that I missed us, New York was fun and all, but it doesn't have the same thrill of running down corridors being chased by aliens, sure the supernatural side has it's perks, but it wasn't as fun as being with my friends.

"Darlene?" A familair voice came from the door to the room, and I smiled, Sara came back, I suddenly put the photo back and went into the living area "are you in?"

"in here" I called and she came in carrying huge bags, "what's that?" I asked curiously and when Sara didn"t answer u grew curious but I didn't question her any further, I didn't want to be that roommate "how was work?" I wanted to change the injection as I knew that Sara hated her job, of which I tried to convince her to quit and join me many times, but for some reason she didn't want to.

"Actually" Sara said which surpsied me "it wasn't that bad today" she stopped herself realising what I was doing "what's this about anyway, you aren't normally interested in my day"

There was no fooling Sara during times like this, I signed and gave in "I got an impossible case today" at this Sara put the bags down not interested in where she put them, Sara was always interested in my cases no matter what they were, even the non supernatural ones. "Someone, has figured out how to kill immortals"

At this Sara gasped and listened "doesn't that?" She guessed and I nodded.

"That certainly puts me on their target list" I confirmed, which I didn't know before, but hey any information is good to know "but whoever is doing this? I have no leads yet"

"Do you have any clues?"

"Not yet, I'm going to back to the scene later and scout out anything I missed"

"Are you sure that's safe?"

Ok, that question got me, it certainly wasn't safe for someone like me anymore "someone's gotta so this killer, if it's a risk I'll improvise"

At this Sara chuckled and said "where do you get your crazy ideas?"

"Let's just say from a certain old friend of mine" at this I smiled to myself as Sara wasn't in on the joke, "the game is on" I said as I switched off the Tv and looked outside the window and onto the busy streets...
