Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I have been a busy bee. But here you go darlings, read, review, and of course, enjoy.
"What?" Kaoru hissed. Fish smirked and slid off the top bunk, landing lightly on his feet.
"Let's get out of here. We were both obviously framed, so let's split."
"No, you're crazy." Kaoru started. A lopsided grin appeared on Fish's face and Kaoru continued, "We can't just break out. Literally, there is no way to break out of here."
Fish laughed and said,
"Oh, young Kaoru, trust me. There are several ways to break out of here. I know from experience."
Kaoru made a worried face. "Look, I'm sorry, but I don't want to look even more criminal than I already look."
"Alright. But tell me if you change your mind. I'll be right here." Said Fish as he sat down in a chair and closed his eyes.
Kaoru sighed.
This is insanity. This is so unreal, it's like I'm in a dream. No, not a dream, a nightmare.
Something Fish had said kept running through his mind. Maybe he's done this before, Fish had said.
Maybe he had. Maybe that was Kaoru's saving grace. Maybe if Dennis had done this before, Kaoru could investigate and bring Dennis down!
But I can't do any of that from this cell…
Hikaru sipped his hot tea. It was chamomile, he decided. It's warmth seeped through his hands.
He sat on Kyoya's sofa, his legs crossed beneath him. Kyoya was somewhere else, making phone calls.
Hikaru was happy to be there. At home, his parents were acting so horribly. Father did not seem to believe in Kaoru's innocence one bit. Mother did, yet she refused to do anything about it. "If it's meant to turn out alright, it will." She kept saying, or Hikaru's favorite, "This is a learning experience for Kaoru."
Hikaru jumped and realized his hands had been shaking so much his hot tea had spilled on him.
He sighed. He was angry. And he was scared.
He was angry with his parents, he was angry with himself, he was even a little angry at Kaoru and he wasn't sure why. And he was scared…
He was scared for Kaoru. He was very scared.
"Hikaru." Kyoya said suddenly and Hikaru spilled more tea on himself. Kyoya had apparently finished making his phone calls. He walked up to Hikaru and sat beside him.
"Don't worry. I can take care of this." He said. Hikaru tried to smile.
"Yeah. I hope so." Hikaru whispered hoarsely.
Detective Lee sat at his desk, brooding.
He kept looking over the case file, and he stared at Kaoru's mug shot with furrowed brows.
Maybe he had been a little too hard on the kid. He was just a teenager, it wasn't as if he was a hardened criminal like most of the men who passed through the station.
No.
You should know better than anyone that teenager or not, it doesn't matter. Some kids are monsters. Some kids kill. You know it, so don't forget it, Lee. Never forget it.
Kaoru slid from the top bunk and landed clumsily, almost tripping over his feet.
"Fish," Kaoru sighed as he walked over and stood before the older boy, "I need you to help me get out of here."
Fish opened one eye and smiled mischievously.
"I can definitely do that. This going to involve some acting."
Kyoya and Kaoru were sitting in silence side by side, both of them deep in thought, so when a knock at the door sounded, both of them jumped.
Kyoya looked at Hikaru before getting up to answer it. He stared through the peephole and swung the door open.
Haruhi walked inside.
"Hey Hikaru." She said. She went over and gave him a quick hug.
"Why are you here?" Kyoya asked. Haruhi sat beside Hikaru before answering.
"I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking about what I heard that man say." She replied.
"What man? What are you talking about?" Hikaru inquired.
"I heard a man talking about Kaoru today in the park. Hikaru, I think Kaoru may have been set up."
"Wait,what?" Hikaru asked as he leaned toward Haruhi, craving more information.
"I overheard a man speaking about Kaoru, and he said a lot of things that sounded really suspicious. I think he set Kaoru up."
"What did he look like? What was his name?"
"I don't know the guys name, but he looked pretty young, maybe thirty, and he was dressed very nicely. He definitely had money. He also mentioned a place called Harding Towers." She said, and Hikaru's eyes narrowed.
"I think I know who you're talking about."
"No, I'm getting the top bunk you little shit! I'm older than you are and I've been here longer!" Fish yelled as he pushed Kaoru against the bars of the cell with a bang.
"Shut up you smelly idiot! I get the top bunk, I was there first!" Hikaru yelled as he lunged toward Fish and hit him in the stomach. They continued yelling and wrestling with one another until the policewoman guarding door that led to the cell area ran in. Apparently she had never encountered Fish, because she quickly opened the cell door and left it open as she pulled the two boys apart.
"No, you have to let me rip this kid into pieces!" Fish yelled as he reached around the woman to hit Kaoru. The policewoman let go of Kaoru to restrain Fish. Fish winked at Kaoru, who then grabbed the sleeping pedophile from the bottom bunk with grunt of effort and pushed him into the policewoman.
The woman staggered and fell under the intoxicated man's weight.
"I need help in here!" She yelled but Karu and Fish were gone, having run through the open cell door and into a hallway.
"Oh my God we are in so much trouble." Kaoru panted as he and Fish turned a corner and ran into another hallway. "Do you know where we're going?" Kaoru asked nervously as they sprinted.
Fish turned to him without stopping and smiled. "I've done this many times, Kaoru. Trust me."
They ran through a scratched metal door and found themselves in some kind of warehouse area filled with police uniforms and weapons.
"Wow." Said Kaoru. Fish grabbed two uniforms and shoved one at Kaoru.
"Put this on." He said, and Kaoru did as he was told. Fish chuckled and said, "I'm surprised they haven't put a guard at this door by now, you'd think they would have learned from the last time..."
Once they were dressed, Fish calmy led Kaoru to the back of the warehouse where there was another door. This one had a obnoxiously bright red exit sign above it.
"Come on." Fish said. He grabbed Kaoru's arm and dragged him through.
Kind of a short chapter, please forgive me, but I'm trying my best, I swear! I'll try to update soon. Oh and I hope you all enjoyed the holidays, did anybody get something real awesome for Christmas? Or Hanukah or any other religious holiday I am ignorant of?
