Wow, A whole day and I've only updated three times...
Chapter 10: New Information
Kaity walked down the street, John at her side, recollecting what else was coming back to him about his murder.
"Okay, when we get to the agency, see if you can the one who attacked you in our mug shots, okay?" Kaity said. The black chameleon responded with a nod. "How come you can come out during that day? I thought ghosts only came out at night."
"That's just something adults in the world of the living tell their children to keep them inside when it gets dark."
"Ah, I see."
"Yeah, but every now and then, some one manages to see us and spreads rumors of a ghost." Kaity almost grinned at the thought. When they got to the Chaotix Detective Agency, Espio was the first to speak to Kaity.
"Tails wants to see you at his workshop." Espio said.
"Okay, I'll go down in a second." Kaity shrugged. She went over to a book shelf that held all the books; she grabbed a book of mug shots and walked up to her shared room, followed by John. She sat down on the bed and set the book down in front of John. "Tell me if you recognize anyone."
"Okay." John flipped through the book silently, staring hard at each picture. At last, he pointed to one picture, the last one in the book; an anaconda. "I know him; we had a fight about his girlfriend." John said. "His name was...Devin, I think."
"Yep, we heard about him from two other people." Kaity nodded. "What was his girlfriend's name?"
"Well, I shouldn't have said 'girlfriend' ya see, she was always cheating on him with some other guy. But he loved her and fought every guy off for her."
"Okay, what was her name?"
"Julie...Julie Viper." John said after a moment of thought. Kaity wrote the name down on the back of the picture as a note for future reference.
"Anything else?" Kaity asked.
"Um..." He stopped for a moment and looked out the window, his eyes widened a bit and he turned away quickly. "No, not right now. They're here." He whispered the last part to Kaity. Then he disappeared as soon as Kaity blinked.
OoOoO
Kaity ran down the stairs, replacing the book and shooting out the door and toward the train station where she could get a ride the Mystic Ruin. This time, she was aware of the Mobians following her, but she didn't stop to question them. She noticed that as soon as she entered the train station, the two behind her stopped. Kaity only shrugged it off and jumped on the train to Mystic Ruin.
OoOoO
Tails began talking as soon as Kaity walked in the door.
"I did like you said and looked through the files, and found one on spirit-seeing." He explained, "It's pretty easy to get rid of, I have the antidote right here." He held up a syringe with a milky white liquid inside.
"Tails, let's hold off on the antidote for right now, okay?" Kaity said.
"Why?" Tails asked unsurely.
"As weird as it sounds, it's actually helping me."
"But I thought you wanted it gone."
"I do...just not right now."
"You sure?"
"Yes, keep that antidote for later." Kaity instructed and left quickly.
Why do these people keep following Kaity around!? It's gettin' kinda annoying...
