CHAPTER PRESENT FOR 'GUEST'! Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day!
And to answer 'Guest's question, no we will not be seeing Peter's mom. Since in the show she hung herself not long after being forced to let Peter go when given birth to him. And no slash is in this story apart from the occasional Raul/Erin moments.
Peter glared at Nadia the next morning as they all sat and ate breakfast. She was a very cheeky little bugger who was just full of fucking smiles after what happened yesterday. The shock of finding a finger had worn off overnight and Peter just wanted to cut off her finger and show her whose boss.
Ok, ok. He admits that those trail of thoughts were more psychotic than usual but dammit he really hates Nadia. The only thing he likes about that girl is how she manipulated Raul into thinking she was innocent. He knows the innocent type. Heck he can practically smell the innocence (probably a gift he inherited from Lucifer) on them. And one thing Peter knows more than anything is that she is not innocent.
She's killed someone.
A sadistic smirk appeared on his face making him resemble a Cheshire cat.
Oh he knows she's killed someone. And he's gonna find out. Suddenly a hand smacking him upside the head nocked him out of his thoughts. Glaring at Raul, Peter's grip on his knife tightened making Joshua nervous.
"Stop staring at her like that." Raul said as he pointed at Peter in a somewhat menacing way. Scoffing, Peter went back to eating his scrambled eggs Erin had kindly made for them.
"So you guys are playing spy today huh?" Peter asked Joshua who nodded anxiously.
"Yeah, hopefully we'll get the files we're lookin' for."
"We don't need hope if I'm helping." Koa said with a small self-satisfactory smirk before getting up and packing her things.
"She's like a saner and female version of Peter." Erin spoke with a half-worried expression. Raul, Rose and Joshua nodded in agreement while Peter grimaced. As flattering as that is being sane is boring.
When everyone left and Amy was taking a nap Peter grinned from his spot on the couch as Nadia entered the room. She paused in the doorway at seeing him and scoffed before getting a glass cup and filling it with water.
"So…Nadia," Peter said mockingly and leaned over the couch to get a good view of her. "ever killed someone?" she almost dropped her cup in shock at the question before turning to glare heatedly.
"No. I'm not a sadistic asshole like you." He laughed at her attempt at hurting his feelings.
"Well this sadistic asshole is a killer. A very efficient one at that too. And it takes one to know one." With a cheery grin Peter flung himself over the couch to get closer to her. Nadia stepped back with wide eyes, trying to get away from him. But in horror she noticed he had cornered her. The teen psychopath leered at Nadia with a curious gaze. "So..have you killed?"
Peter's grin sharpened when he saw the fear and guilt in her eyes. Technically he was breaking the rule of his grounding but he's never really cared for the rules. Except his own.
"None of your Goddamn business." Nadia spat, attempting to sound brave but failed miserably. Taking pity on her Peter stepped back and snickered when she bolted from the room.
"Soon I'm going to find out!" Peter shouted and rolled his eyes at the dramatic sound of her door slamming shut. "Girls." He muttered bitterly. Sighing sadly he realized that the only person who was a girl he could tolerate was Alice.
Without her here to ground him he was insane. Peter remembered the boundaries she put up for him and his 'psychoness'. Without her to repeatedly remind him what and not to do he was free.
Free to cause destruction and be insane.
It scared him a little seeing how much he really was insane. Peter frowned in thought and jumped a little when he heard a loud bang from Nadia's room. Raising a curious eyebrow he slowly made his way to her door and hesitantly nocked.
"Go away!" came the shout from inside making Peter roll his eyes at her dramatics.
"Not until I know what you're doing in there."
"Why do you care?" Peter's face scrunched up in confusion at hearing a sob. He took a disgusted step back from the door.
He does not do crying girls.
"I don't." he told her through the door. After a moment of awkward silence the door opened revealing a disheveled Nadia and broken bits around her room. Peter raised his eyebrows at seeing her mascara dripping and red eyes. "Ew." He muttered and Nadia glared at him.
"What do you want?" she snapped and Peter angled his head to look further into the room. Whistling at seeing lamps broken and pictures with broken glass scattered across the floor.
"Somebody's having a bad day."
"And your not making it any better." She added and Peter grinned. He carelessly stepped in the room, ignoring Nadia shouting at him to get out.
"Like I honestly care about how you feel." Peter told her with an insensitive expression and walked around the room. Examining the destruction she had created. Nadia crossed her arms and glared even more at him.
"Is this how you normally charm people? By insulting them?" he shrugged and tilted his head in confusion at seeing the draws pulled out and clothes carelessly thrown about.
"I don't charm people unless I need to. And why would I charm you? You're hardly attractive in appearance and personality." Peter informed her and barely had time to dodge the high-heel thrown his way. He gave Nadia an incredulous look. "What was that for?"
"Hardly attractive?!" She shouted at him and Peter could almost see fire in her eyes. Shrugging at her he dodged another high-heel. "You don't just tell people that! It hurts their feelings – "
"Did I hurt your feelings?" Peter feigned a sorrowful look. Nadia's face softened and she nodded.
"A little, yeah." She said quietly and was shocked at seeing a sadistic grin stretch Peter's handsome face.
"Good." Peter was amused at seeing her go and grab another shoe off the ground and went to throw it at him when he asked. "What were you looking for?" she paused and her eyes blew open in stunned disbelief. Dropping the show her face hardened in defense.
"Wh-Why do you assume I was looking for something?" he raised his eyebrows at her in a 'do you think I'm stupid' look.
"Do I look like somebody you can con? Don't con a con, idiot. Especially when you have no experience in conning."
"I've conned people before." She said with a defiant look that made Peter laugh openly.
"That's adorable." Shaking his head in amusement. "Just answer the question." Smile slipping off as if it was never there. His sudden changes in emotion put Nadia on edge. She contemplated for a moment before deflating.
"I was looking for the gun I used a while back. It's evidence in a case and -"
"Let me guess you shot someone, fled the scene and hid the gun here thinking you'd never see this place again." She nodded and Peter sighed. "My God you are stupid."
"Hey!" Nadia shouted in anger and Peter scoffed at her.
"You don't just hide a murder weapon at a place that could be linked back to you. Did you even wipe off your prints?" when he got no answer Peter wanted to bash his skull into the wall.
Sometimes people's stupidity emotionally pains him.
"So you can't find the murder weapon…Sucks to be you." He shook his head before leaving the room.
"Wait! Aren't you even going to help me find it?" Peter turned and stared at her with a bored look.
"I got what I wanted. Now I know you killed someone, its nice to know I'm not the only cold blooded murderer in the house." Peter smirked devilishly and closed the door behind him. He sighed with contempt, feeling giddy at knowing something he's sure Raul doesn't. Oh the blackmail on Nadia was literally handed to him by the said person.
The irony was amazing.
"Twice that kid's been able to get away without a trace! Twice!" Agent Donovan exclaimed as he paced around his desk. Agent Strauss rolled his eyes at his partner's theatrics. "How does he do it?"
"That's what the tech division is working on. They're going over every security feed they can get their hands on." He consoled his partner. Donovan deflated and dropped onto his seat with a pensive expression in his deep blue eyes.
"Do they have a facial recognition for the guy who bombed all the cars yet?" he asked and Strauss grimaced with a solemn expression.
"No." he shook his head and bit the inside of his lip when Donovan lowered his head sadly. "I'm sorry, Alex was a good guy – "
"He was my sister's fiancé, Danny." Donovan butted in and glared at the picture of Peter Moore on their board. "I swear when I get my hands on that kid I'm gonna tear him apart."
"Luke." Steve hissed with a worried expression. "You know if I see any conflict of interest I have to tell the director." His partner sighed deeply and rubbed his tired eyes.
"Yeah I know. It's just that kid is…he's not normal."
"That's why we have a criminal psychologist on speed dial when we nail Moore. And we will, we just have to keep out heads screwed on." He told him and Luke nodded with a smirk.
"Twenty bucks the kid gets caught because of his girlfriend." Danny smirked back.
"You got it. And Alice isn't his girlfriend." His partner rolled his eyes.
"Details." Luke said dismissively. Suddenly his phone buzzed and he pulled it out. Reading the text his smirk slipped. "Got a hit, Peter Moore was sighted at Haven House Clinics not two miles away." The two got up and holstered their weapons.
"What's he doing there?"
"Don't know, maybe he hurt his hand again while killing some poor bastard." Opening his phone Luke read the message from tech lab. "The same two guys who broke him out of the hospital two days ago are with him along with…three women. No hits on their identity yet." He turned to his partner with a worried expression. "Why do I get the feeling Moore isn't the only psycho we have to hunt down?"
"Hopefully we aren't dealing with a cult." Luke grimaced at that word.
"Danny you know I hate that word."
Nadia didn't mention what happened to Raul when everyone returned back to the house. The mission went perfectly according to Rose and tomorrow morning they'll be setting off to 'Haven House Clinics'.
"Hey isn't that Abaddon's sign?" Peter asked Joshua as they both stared at a picture of a man sitting next to an old lady with a laptop on his lap.
"Yes it is." Joshua said in stunned disbelief and waved Rose over. After using Raul's badge to get some information out of a nurse on Mrs Schiller. Suddenly Erin collapsed and Koa slipped away.
Everything went to hell not soon after they figured out Koa stole the file on Mrs Shower and was heading to deal with the Horseman of Pestilence (who we found out was Leland Schiller) on her own. The cops showed up and they barely managed to slip out of the hospital and drive off. Halfway home Peter hot-wired another car and they got away.
"How did they know Peter was there?" Grumbled Raul who was driving like a maniac.
"Raul slow down." Erin said softly with a worried expression. Peter frowned in confusion as he noticed she was two shades pale.
"Are you ok?" asked Rose in concern, Erin smiled at her and nodded. The teen rolled his eyes, these people were terrible at lying.
"Maybe someone noticed who Peter was and tipped the cops." Joshua pointed out and sighed in contemplation. "I knew taking Peter out of the house was a bad idea." he muttered bitterly.
"Then why did we?" asked Erin.
"It's my fault." Said Rose and feigned shame. "I thought that if Leland would be there Peter could stop him from getting away."
"I could have done that." Pointed out Raul and scowled at Death. Rose gave him a pointed look in the mirror.
"You would have hesitated hurting him. Peter wouldn't have. I think that's why God chose him." She turned her gaze on Peter like the rest. "To make the hard decisions we can't."
"That…makes twisted sense." Erin agreed. Raul's scowl deepened.
"Can we focus on Koa double-crossing us. I told you all we shouldn't have trusted her. But nobody dared listen to me!"
"Did you ever think she ran off because she couldn't deal with your constant negativity and judgment?"
"Judgment?" Raul scoffed. "I put up with Peter and don't judge him – "
"Oh please." Peter rolled his eyes. He's seen the judgmental looks.
"You don't give people the benefit of the doubt!" Rose shouted at Raul.
"Stop!" Joshua shouted as Raul turned a corner sharply making everybody slam to the left. "We only have two hours to stop Leland Schiller from breaking his seal! You two arguing isn't gonna help." The two calmed down and the ride was spent in silence.
