Kathy: Thanks!
Austrian: Thanks to this story, I have an OC that I hate with my whole existence. I had to add that rat to my story because it really affects something that you will see in these chapters... Danke für deine Kommentar. (Ich weiß ein bisschen Deutsch, aber es ist nicht sehr gut.)
Guest: I think only (or mainly) USA uses inches, pounds, feet... Believe me, I spent freaking ten minutes to conjugate 1.90 meters. In the end, a very silly number came in inches. Later, when I was writing that chapter, I decided to change the height to 1.73 meters (because why not), then I decided not to conjugate (because I am sometimes too lazy)
Anyway, since you've asked: I am Turkish, I live in Istanbul, in Turkey.
Note: This chapter's name is a song which is used in Detroit: Become Human, I suggest you listen to it when the lyrics appear.
WARNING: Mentions of RAPE!
CHAPTER 11: Hold On Just A Little While Longer
They could hear the sirens that were coming closer to them within a second.
"Fucking hell!" the 26 years old, ex-soldier yelled in pain as the bullet glanced off his waist. The right side of his waist started to bleed.
"Jack!" Elsa shouted worriedly as she stopped running and tried to help him.
The sergeant pushed her gently. "I am fine, catch him!" he ordered whereas Elsa has already been obeying. The wound wasn't fatal, it would be in control with a few bandages.
They have been chasing Sam, the prime suspect for fifteen minutes. The fucker tried to kill them with a gun. Luckily, they survived without getting a fatal wound and Sam was probably out of bullets.
Jack ran as fast as he could, he was a really good runner but Elsa, being an android, was faster than him.
When he came next to Elsa, the android woman has already been handcuffing Sam. "You are under arrest for attempting to kill a cop. You are also the prime suspect of a rape and a murder." the gorgeous android woman hissed icily.
She forcefully made the man get into the police car. "Are you alright?" Hiccup checked Elsa's condition while Astrid was getting out of the police car.
Elsa didn't respond, she ran towards Jack and crushed him into a strong embrace. "Jack, are you okay? I... I thought I had lost you." she gasped, first, desperately cupped his cheeks, then stroked his cheekbones, lips, hair while tears were forming around her beautiful worried eyes.
"Hey, hey, I am alright." Jack tried to soothe the android woman, clung into her body firmly. Elsa was trembling and sobbing silently under his arms, he could feel it.
Jack sighed and gave her forehead a long, lazy kiss. "I am fine, okay? You can't get rid of me that easily." he broke the hug and smiled at her softly, his hands cupped her cheeks lovingly.
Elsa finally relaxed as she nodded, a blue blush spread to her face. Soon, their attention settled on Hiccup and Astrid, both of them were baffled, their jaws were opened widely.
"What? Never seen an android crying before?" Jack taunted them and smirked in amusement.
"Ah-I... I am sorry." Hiccup stammered and started to blush. He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense when Astrid didn't say anything. Hiccup and Elsa looked at each other, the male android got into the car whereas the female android was excusing herself to get Jack's car.
The old friends didn't talk until Elsa brought Jack's car. Their partners were waiting for them. Jack finally got sick of looking at the ground, he headed to his car, so did Astrid.
"It is good to know that the old, real Jack Frost is still in there." the blonde, human detective finally commented before she got into the car.
Jack let out a tiny, barely visible smile as he grabbed the car key from Elsa.
The interrogation room.
He has never used it before, this was going to be the first time. He has been dreaming of using this place since he was ten years old, he wanted to become a detective for a long time.
And yet, he didn't want to step in the interrogation room. He didn't want to query a rapist, a killer. He couldn't even stand looking at his fucking face more than a second.
"Detective, are you ready?" Elsa poked his arms gently. Oh how much he loved hearing that wonderful voice.
"Let's finish this." the human detective claimed determinedly.
The partners entered the interrogation room. Hiccup, Astrid and Merida were in the room which was linked to it, they were watching them in silence.
The room was completely empty, except the metal chair that currently the suspect was sitting on, two other empty metal chairs and a metal table between them.
"Sam Roger Winston. Let's go straight the point. What were you doing today between 12:00 and 1:30 p.m.?" Elsa started the interrogation briefly, didn't want to lose time. Like Jack, she couldn't stand seeing a rapist's face either.
The detectives didn't sit, they stood next to each other with their icy features that could easily make a child cry.
Sam pursed his lips in displeasure. "Do you think I am the killer?" with his baritone tone, he asked in amusement as his gaze dropped on his handcuffed wrists.
Elsa narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "There is possibility of you, being the culprit. So if you want to free yourself, you better talk." she hissed with a scary tone as she slammed both her hands to the table, made the culprit boggle.
Jack snuck a glance at Elsa. He never knew that she could be this harsh and angry. Her attitude gave him goosebumps, he couldn't even dare to imagine how Sam felt.
Sam Roger Winston sighed, then let out a... sick chortle? "Then there is no point of denying. I raped and killed Lea Evans."
Instantly, the aura went even more utterly cold and strained. The icy detectives stared at the man in shock, they both froze at the sudden confess.
Sam let out an evil, maniac grin as he knitted his eyebrows in amusement. "Aren't you going to interrogate me, detectives?" the bald man teased them with an eased tone.
Jack swallowed as he closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were full of rage and determination. "Alright, you sick fuck. Care to explain?" he spat those words furiously.
"I work for food delivery, I constantly visit that elementary school. Lea... She caught my eye. I watched her for weeks, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I-I had to touch her. Few days ago I finally had an idea to make my goal come true. Thanks to my job, I managed to poison her friend, whom I thought she was closest to. Luckily, my plan worked, that little girl didn't even go to the bathroom and I managed to make Lea alone. My plan was extremely bold, which makes it stupid, but I had to make a move. It felt so, so good when I felt that little android kid underneath me." the bald lunatic explained instantly, without guilt.
Both the android blood and the human blood ran cold. Elsa and Jack's eyes looked horrified, but apart from that, their bodies were strong enough to not show true emotions.
To handle the cold murderers, they had to be icy detectives.
"You... So do you accept that you trusted on your luck to accomplish a plan which consists of raping and killing an innocent android child?" Elsa corroborated and really doubted herself about if she really heard those words.
Jack was still trying to digest that horrible confess. He quickly snuck a glance at the room which was connected to the interrogation room. Merida was grimacing in disgust, Astrid was massaging her forehead and Hiccup... He was trembling. Poor android, he probably never saw a murderer like this, just like Jack and Elsa.
"Yes, I accept." Sam Roger Winston nodded easily as he verified Elsa.
"Fuck." Elsa swore in a dull voice while she was slamming her foot to the floor with so much disgust.
Normally, Jack would be surprised at that word. Elsa never swore after all. But at that moment, he couldn't bring himself to care in the slightest. His rough gaze rested on the bald rapist.
"This wasn't your first rape and murder, was it?" he blurted out as he bit his bottom lip so hard that it immediately started to bleed.
The man shrugged and tilted his head to the right, then the left to ease his nerves. He then, yawned-
"Answer me, you fucking piece of shit!" the sergeant ordered as he slammed his hands to the table loudly.
"You heard Detective Frost, answer us. You will spend enough time in jail or in an asylum anyway, so there is no point of hiding." Elsa backed up Jack and made an unprofessional movement by touching Jack's left shoulder to remind her support.
Sam grinned hugely and maniacally as he started to laugh, almost in a hysteric way.
Jack dig his nails to his palms while his hands were turning to a fist. "How many others and how old were they?"
Sam suddenly stopped his laughter and thoughtfully tapped his index finger to his chin, tauntingly. "Twenty-nine girls who were between 8-12 years old. I've been doing this since I am 25 years old. What can I say? I like young." he responded and sneered. Fucking sneered right in front of them.
Jack gritted his teeth, he was fuming. With a desperate need, he sucked air, his body was aching for a cigarette.
"Elsa, we have nothing to do with this sick fuck. Let's go." the ex-soldier demanded silently whereas he was attempting to leave.
"You know, Detective Frost, you indeed, look a lot like your sister."
Jack refused to take another step. He turned around to see that bald fucker, very slowly. His gaze rested on him so daringly that even Elsa felt frightened.
Elsa's eyes grew wider. Sister? Jack Frost had a sister? He never has mentioned a sister before. Even his file wasn't consisting of such information like that.
"What the fuck are you implying?" Jack spat in a very scary and a threatening way. He walked closer to the man.
The man let out another evil, enormous grin. "I am talking about Emma Frost. Now, she was a beauty. She was just 12 years old when I-"
Jack slammed his fist to the metal desk, caused it to shudder. Sam, that maniac didn't even shiver because of fear. "That's impossible, Emma was killed by an android."
"Are you sure, detective? You don't seem so old and that incident happened six years ago. I don't think you were the one who investigated that case." Sam Roger pointed out while he was sniggering like a hyena.
Jack stumbled. "No... That android killed my sister, the detectives couldn't be wrong..." he obviously talked to himself as he was shivering, very slightly that only Elsa managed to realize it.
An android killed Emma, Jack's sister. At least Jack thought like that. That's why he hated androids with all of his existence. That's why he left the country and become a soldier, that's why he didn't engage a conversation with his old friends, that's why he was a jerk, that's why he was always so damn unhappy.
He thought an android was responsible for his sister's death, an android was responsible for screwing up his life.
"Jack-"
"There were no fingerprints or human DNA on the body. The detectives assumed an android was responsible for Emma's death. Was it really though?" Sam interrupted Elsa whereas his stupidly huge maniac grin was still there.
Jack didn't respond, he dropped his gaze to the floor without reflecting any emotions.
"John... I bought that machine to kill Emma. I was going to make him the culprit. But that machine... He became a deviant just to save Emma. So instead of him, I killed Emma and also him. The stupid police blamed him, claimed that he was malfunctioning... so it wasn't that much of a problem for me anyway." Sam enlightened them casually, as if he was teaching them something in a classroom.
Jack stared at him, didn't bother to hide how much terrified he felt. He took a step back as he buried his hands to his hair, gulped thickly in absolute horror.
"That's enough!" Astrid suddenly stepped into the room as she yelled furiously.
Merida and Hiccup followed her simultaneously. Elsa stood still, just like Jack. She was utterly speechless, her body was shivering uncontrollably.
"Jack... Dammit, why didn't you tell us that Emma was killed? When did it happen? You... You jerk, I can't believe that you made me hate you! I-We were your friends, we could try to help you." Merida reproached, her voice was vexed. A deep frown appeared on her angry and upset features.
Jack didn't make eye contact, his eyes were completely tepid, lifeless. He took another step and then turned around, ran out of the room quickly.
"Jack!" Elsa screamed after him, attempt to follow him but suddenly dismissed the idea. She had a thing to do first.
Elsa kicked harshly the table towards the culpable, the metal table hit the man's diaphragm. The platinum blonde gripped Sam from his jacket very tightly, choked him. The man was desperately clinging to her arms to loosen her grasp, so he could suck some air. His face was getting purple by every second.
The female detective looked incredibly scary and tough. "Listen to me you bastard, you are going to be batting on a sticky wicket. I will make you suffer." she hissed with a deadly voice, her deadly gaze made the man shiver in fear.
She loosened her grasp whereas the culprit was faintly sweating. "Deal with that piece of shit, I'll take care of Jack and also inform you... He is not in the position for interaction right now." the platinum blonde ordered Astrid, Merida and Hiccup with a bit stiff tone and finally left the interrogation room to find Jack.
Hiccup, Merida and Astrid started at her from behind, they were absolutely terrified.
When she sat on the driver seat, Elsa stared at her partner timidly. His eyes were dull, empty. There was no hint of any emotions, except the slight hint of despair. His body wasn't trembling, he sat still while his hands were resting on his legs.
Hesitatingly, Elsa put her right hand to Jack's left hand. They slowly entwined their fingers together. When Jack started to caress her metal and plastic hand with his thumb, Elsa sighed in relief and operated the car with her left hand, didn't dare to pull her right hand.
So the android detective drove, the human detective stroked her hand with his thumb.
"Stop the car!" Jack abruptly shouted as Elsa has already been obeying. She pulled the car to the outside of the highway. Jack opened his door, however, didn't leave the car. He leaned on the ground and...
Puked.
He threw up for a couple of minutes, almost without taking a breath. Elsa didn't grimace in disgust, just watched his back tightening, his muscles straining, his whole body was shivering.
Eventually, Jack finished vomiting, threw his back to the seat in exhaustion. "Can you drop me to the closest bar?" the young ex-soldier requested with a low, yet steady voice.
Elsa directed her gaze to the outside, her gentle, loving gaze became cold. "No... You know it won't work. You will meet Victoria, drink until you won't remember, then if you are in the mood, you will have sex with her. Do you really believe that drinking yourself to death and having sex with a woman that you are not in love will help you to solve your problems?" Elsa exploded furiously while Jack was staring at her, dumbfounded.
He didn't say anything. So Elsa continued. Her gaze became desperate as she turned it toward him. "Let me help you, Jack. Let me be the one who heals your wounds." she begged as she operated the car once again.
"Why... Why do you care?" he choked out in obvious confusion, winced in pain.
Elsa held his left hand with her right hand once again. She started to drive as she let out a sad, bitter smile. "Because I love you, Jack Frost."
Jack swallowed slowly as his erratic breath became calmer. His muscles relaxed physically.
A single, salty, tiny tear fell down from his devastated, handsome features.
Elsa stared at the road with sad, painful eyes while Jack was stroking her hand once again. She began to sing as his single tear became dry.
"Hold on just a little while longer
Hold on just a little while longer
Hold on just a little while longer
Everything will be alright
Everything will be... alright"
Okay, if you ask me why I had to make everything this much disgusting and cruel... I have tons of excuses, mainly, I tried to create a deep plot. I really hated myself when I wrote this chapter... Anyway, please don't forget to write a review, love you all.
