Jemma Aeris Scott: And people say I'm the weird one here. Anyway MHR would like to thank everyone who has been waiting and those who have reviewed. (Looks over to MHR and rolls eyes) I am so not with her.
When Faith, Elizabeta May-lin entered the group room the next morning, they found Jemma sitting with a large tub of ice-cream. Folders lay on the floor and the table, tossed carelessly to one side. Jemma's eyes were fixed on the large TV which was showing another episode of Batman. Faith elbowed her chinese and Scotish friend both in the ribs and chuckled. "She's got the ice-cream out! Must mean big business." faith joked.
"Ha, very funny Faith." Jemma muttered, a tiny smirk on her lips. As the credits rolled onto the screen, Jemma flicked the TV off and waited for her friends to join her. The english girl lifted another spoon of Ice-cream to her mouth, inhaling the sweet sugary smell. In her opinion, this was what life was all about.
"So what flavor did you get from the cooks?" Elizabeta chuckled. The large tub of ice-cream was placed on the coffee table, letting the girl's read the label. Rolo ice-cream was printed on the side. Faith smirked and dipped her finger in, scooping some ice-cream from the tub. Jemma glared at her russian friend but said nothing.
"So what are you doing, sitting here on her own?" May-lin inquired. Jemma swallowed the ice-cream in her mouth and then wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Thinking."
Faith raised an eye brow. "About Angel?" Jemma nodded her head. "Oh wait! You still thinking about the Tanya angle?" The russian questioned again. Once more Jemma nodded her head. Elizabeta and May-lin looked the two girls over.
"What Tanya angle? Wait! Isn't Tanya Kai's sister?" Elizabeya questioned. Both Jemma and faith nodded their heads. Elizabeta made a T shape with her hands. "Whoa! Whoa! Time out! You can't go saying Tanya's Angel!" the scotish girl cried out.
"Bluebell's right. Kai would string you up from the threater room rafters." May-lin added, taking her own share of the ice-cream.
"I know. Kai has warned me to stay away from his sister, but he doesn't need to know. Look at it from our point of view. Tanya's not at this school, the murders are outside. Tanya's at the school, the murders are starting inside the school." Jemma replied. Elizabeta made a slight O with her mouth and turned to grab something from behind her.
"Ming-Ming's folder. I had to do some pretty heavy digging to get the juicy stuff out, but I managed it." Elizabeta explained handing a cream coloured folder to Jemma. The english detective nodded her thanks and flicked through the folder. May-lin cocked her head to one side.
"What are you looking?" the chinese girl questioned. Jemma's eyes did not leave the folder.
"Not to sure Lin, but I'll...Hang on a minute." The other three girls all looked at each other as Jemma pulled out a small sheet of paper. "Ming-Ming was doing a bit of fraud on the side." Jemma muttered.
"What? Ming was doing fraud? That can't be true. I mean Ming-Ming may be annoying, but she's pretty brainless. There's no way..." Jemma held up her hand, cutting May-lin off.
"It says her father was doing the fraud. He got caught, but without any evidence the case went out the window. Says here, he died from lung cancer." Jemma muttered before her eyes scanned the rest of the paper. "Ming-Ming was caught signing Mr Dickinson's name on some important documents so she could get money and she changed her father's will. This left everything to her." Jemma finished, placing the piece of paper down.
"So there's just one more question. How in heaven name's did The Angel get all the information?" Faith inquired.

"Tanya!"
Tanya Hiwatari did not pause as she continued to walk towards an old weeping willow tree. Her mind was on her brother's timetable. It confused her when it did not match her own. Even though Block A had lessons, Block B did not.
"Tanya!"
Tanya chewed her lip, wondering where to stop or not. Her brother had warned her not to talk to other people on campus apart from his friends. Trouble was Tanya had no idea who they were.
"Tanya! God-damnit, wait up!"
Tanya decided to take a chance and stopped walking. She caught sight of a blue haired girl running towards her. Her light purple eyes were trained on the floor, but Tanya could clearly see thick eye-liner framing those beautiful eyes. The girl wour a black T-shirt which had the words Welcome to the black parade blazed across and a pair of blue skinny ripped jeans. Tied round her waist was a dark blue hoodie. Tanya waited till the girl got closer and caught her breath. "Do I know you?" the younger Hiwatari asked.
The girl caught her breath and looked up. "I'm Jemma Scott. One of your brother's friends." the girl replied. Tanya smiled.
"Oh nice to met you. Did you come out here to enjoy the weather?" Tanya inquired. The two continued their way to the weeping willow. Jemma looked up to see black rain clouds slowly clawing their way across the sky.
"Sort of." Jemma paused as they sat down. "Look, I'm not gonna beat around the bush. My father is working on the Angel of Death case. He wanted to ask you some questions but can't get away from work. He wanted me to ask for him instead, if that's okay?" Jemma explained. Tanya chuckled a little under her breath.
"Feel free Jemma. Funny how my brother has never mentioned you before." she replied. Jemma could tell Tanya was slightl uneased. Jemma didn't mind as this only served as a challenge on an already differcult mission. Jemma scratched the back of her neck.
"Well I haven't been here long. 4 weeks maybe." she shrugged. "First question. Did your grandfather get reports of any crimnals at all?" Jemma asked. Tanya nodded her head.
"Yeash. My grandfather owns half of russia. The police force had to send reports to my grandfather." Tanya replied as she lent back against the willow. Jemma made a mental note of the answer before asking another question.
"Did you or Kai ever got to look at them?" Tanya looked away from Jemma to stare at the clouds. For some strange reason Tanya had a feeling that Jemma was not being all that truthful. She let a small sigh escape her lips, but quickly covered it up with a yawn.
"No. Grandfather kept them in a password guarded folder. Kai may have known the password but I doubt he would have hacked into grandfather's computer." Tanya informed. Suddenly a large raindrop fell on Tanya's head. She shook her head as more began to fall. Jemma cursed under her breath.
"Oh give me a break!" she snapped and stood up. She turned to look at Tanya, who was holding her bag over her head. "I guess this cuts the meeting short. Sorry if I bothered you at all." Jemma stated. Tanya shook her head and smiled.
"It's okay. If you do get to talk to your father again, tell him I wish Shadow the best of luck in catching Angel." the younger hiwatari paused. "I know that he'll catch the killer. Everyone thinks he won't. You'll pass the message on right?" Tanya questioned. When Jemma nodded her head, Tanya darted off back to Block A. Jemma smiled to herself as she ran back to Block B.
If Tanya thinks I'll catch the killer, then I will. It would be a real shame if the killer was Tanya though. Jemma mused.
--------
The first thing Jemma noticed about the group room was that it was silent. Jemma checked her watch. Strange. Half past 3 means everyone comes here. Jemma shook her watch before holding it close to her ear. "Don't tell me the batteries have gone." Jemma muttered.
"What part of Stay away from my sister don't you get?"
Jemma looked up to see Kai standing by the window of the room. "Well good evening to you grouch." she snapped. The english girl calmly walked over to the coffee table. She bent down to pick up the folders she had left when Kai grabbed her arm. "Hey! What in Frank Iero's name do you think you're doing?" Jemma squeaked. She tried to yank her arm away from Kai, but his grip was too strong.
"Leave my sister alone!" Kai hissed. Jemma pouted in an angry fashion, one arm clutching her folders tightly to her chest.
"Make me asswipe!" Jemma shot back. A vein throbbed on Kai's forehead. Before Jemma had a chance to right back, Kai slammed her into a wall. The folders hit the floor and Jemma squeaked loudly. Kai grabbed her short and yanked her up a little higher. Jemma didn't want to admit it, but Kai was starting to scare her.
"Leave my sister alone, got that? I've worked damn hard to make sure people like my grandfather don't hurt her. You're only going to make things worst for her. I won't tell you again. Next time I will personally make sure you will never be able to bother her again." Kai warned. A dry chuckle escaped from Jemma's throat.
"Whatcha gonna do? Bury me six feet under? I'd like to see you try." she joked. Kai growled lowly before letting Jemma go. She smacked harder into the wall as Kai stormed off back to his room. A sly smirk appeared on Jemma's face as her bangs hide her eyes. "Personally make sure huh? That's interesting." she chuckled.
