Destined Twins to Fall Apart
Encounters~
I fell asleep that night as we left New York. I wasn't sure where we were going but I know Rue would take care of it, I just wish he would tell me his plans sometimes. I keep having the strangest dreams, they all seemed to me a warning about the near by future.
Even though I was asleep on the bus, I knew I wasn't dreaming but I wasn't exactly awake. I was in a state of consciousness and it was fine with me. I haven't really had the time to think about how I got to this point but I didn't care. At this point, I knew what I was feeling and I knew what I wanted; and all I wanted was to be with Rue.
I stirred as I felt the bus stopping. I felt Rue gently waking me up. I woke up to the sight of his red eyes staring back at me. I love those red eyes.
"Where are we?" I asked, hoping not to break gaze but he blinked and looked away.
"Los Angeles." Huh, interesting.
As the bus drove into the station, I couldn't help but notice how Rue became more withdrawn if that was possible.
"Are you okay?" I asked as the bus came to a complete stop and people started filing out of it.
"Fine." He said in an unnatural way to his being.
I couldn't come up with anything else so I kept quiet and followed him out. Once we were off the bus and in the station, we immediately started walking away. We kept walking until we found a place that was abandoned. A warehouse.
[Lolly]
We've spent the entire two days looking at clues, evidence, and listening to witnesses. I thought Ryuzaki would have figured out the killer already but it seems like he's stumped.
'Maybe I should help him.'
I walked over to the couch where Ryuzaki was crouched, staring at the computer screen.
"Ryuzaki!"
"Lolly, I am trying to concentrate. What ever your desire is at the moment it will have to wait." Ryuzaki said in a monotone voice. He always tells me that, but I never listen to him.
"Why?" I smiled.
"Because if I do not more people will die."
"Why?"
"Because killers like to be 'unpredictable'."
"Why?"
"Because they think they are smart."
I stopped and thought about it. I remembered a conversation I had with Vivica about this. I really did believe we were smart kids and that we could get away with murder. I smiled as I reminisce about that day.
"What if they are smart?" I asked as I wanted to see if I was accurately correct.
"It does not matter I will find them and bring them to justice." He said, still not looking away from the computer screen.
"Ryuzaki, your not helpful!" I said outloud as I leaned on his shoulder with my back staring up at the ceiling.
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to see how accurate I would be if I was a serial killer." I heard Ryuzaki sigh.
"Lolly, we've talked about this."
"I know but it might help."
He gave in. I smiled.
"A killer likes to kill in patterns." I stated.
"The killer has killed at least one victim for the past week."
"A killer has normal characteristics as the average human."
"They have narrowed it down to men."
"A killer will usually use the same weapon as they were abused with or first killed with."
"A blunt object was used for head trauma but the official weapon is a butcher's knife."
I ran out of ideas and I hoped that had helped Ryuzaki. Well it did since he said this;
"We're leaving New York. We're heading for California."
Great a whole day wasted on a plane.
[Ryuzaki]
I knew who the killer was but I wasn't going to tell Lolly, yet. I was surprise to find that Joey had made his way to New York, although his reasons are still being questioned.
"Lolly?"
"Yes, Ryuzaki?" I heard the tiredness in her voice.
"We're headed for Los Angeles."
"So?" She leaned her head on my shoulder.
"I thought I'd let you know." There was a brief silence until she jerked her head awake.
"What's wrong Ryuzaki?" She noticed.
"Nothing."
"That's a lie! You love bothering me on the plane ride! What's the deal! Is it this killer guy?" She went on a tiny rant about all the possible things that could be wrong and I couldn't help but smile. She was adorable when she does that.
"Nothing's wrong. We're headed for Los Angeles and from there we'll catch the killer." Technically that wasn't a lie. It wasn't the whole truth either though.
"Ryuzaki, there's something that you're not telling me and intend to find out." She stared at me with determination in her eyes. My hollow gaze didn't foil her until Watari came by with cake.
"Thank you Watari."
"Of course, Ryuzaki. Also if you didn't mind keeping Lolly down. She can be on the loud side." He chuckled and sat back down in his seat behind us. For the moment Lolly would be occupied because of cake while I had time to think about what I should do.
Some how, wishing that Lolly would fall asleep wouldn't happen, after three months of constantly traveling she's learn to stay awake with me but only on plane rides.
Once we landed in the LAX airport, we rented a car and quickly drove out of range of the airport and towards Hollywood. Not the good part of Los Angeles, but where the monsters hide.
"Wow! It reminds me of home!" Lolly said as she saw the "bad" side of Los Angeles.
I stood quiet and continued thinking about the case. There was a sixty three percent that no one would be harm in all of this but as we kept driving through this part of the city those chances went down. After a drive through tour of that part of the city, Watari drove us to nice hotel.
[Rue]
The night fell quickly upon us and I was losing my mind. These next few days would be important and they could be the last time that I spend with Vivica. Vivica, I looked over at her. She was staring back at me wondering what would be our next move.
The only reason I had even asked her to kill with me is because she wanted to stick around. She smiled.
I wonder about her.
"Rue! Just tell me what you're thinking!" She always complained about this. I never told her more than L, because I don't want her more involved that she should be. She was only a bystander that I was curious about because every time I saw her, her life span change always.
I broke away the gaze and thought about tonight. Tonight would just be like a normal night, we will kill a pair and come back clean.
I tried looking back at Vivica but she had her gaze down and as she lifted her head she lung towards me knocking me to the ground. She caught me off guard. She held down my arms with her hands and my legs (as best as she could) with her knees. Of course I can easily push her off of me but I knew there was a reason for this.
"Rue! I want you to open up! Tell me what's wrong!" Her gaze into mine. Should I really tell her?
We both felt something and we've known this since the fire, neither of us knew what to do.
The Next Day ~ Morning
[Ryuzaki]
After Lolly had fallen asleep, it was easier to think without her eyes watching me. It seems that Joey escaped the police and traveled, no, followed Vivica, thinking it was Lolly and committed murders on the path. The murders were for her attention but I will assume just like Lolly, she did not notice.
Though, just like Lolly she was following someone but who?
I decided to talk a walk. I told Watari where I may be and he allowed me to go as always though he warns me.
"Do not cause trouble."
I gave him a small smile and assured him that I would not.
Los Angeles was an interesting city. No one really stared at me strange like they do back in England, it was sort of nice. Not being that one odd person out in the field. I kept walking in uncomfortable tennis shoes until I could not take it anymore. I walked into a random cafe and took off the tennis shoes.
The cold tile floor felt nice and no one seemed to mind. I sat at on a barstool and waited to be served. A waitress came by and quickly took my order, even though the place was not packed.
Coffee and cake.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?" A man with red eyes and dark blue hair came up to me. I knew this man.
"Hello Jack."
He jumped back in surprise but regain composure.
"Um. Maybe." He sat down in the empty bar stood on my left.
"I've heard a lot about you from your sister. Apparently your mean."
"What! My sister says stupid things! Wait she's alive! Is she? Wait which one?" He spoke rapidly due to overwhelming excitement of knowing that his sister was alive. I wasn't sure why but I felt a pit in my stomach.
"Lolly. She always talks about you." He relaxed just a bit, but was still on guard; for bad news.
"She misses me!" He smiled, then continued.
"It's funny, I never thought she would miss me. She'd never say something like that whenever I got home. Viv maybe, but not Lolly." He looked over at me and smiled.
"Oh hey thanks."
"For what?" I asked, he made me stop in mid air of a bite of the strawberry cake in front of me.
"Saving me. At least I think it was you. I remember because of the hair."
I wasn't shocked by this new information but instead now the percent of getting hurt went up. Not for me, but for Lolly and Vivica.
[Vivica]
I walked around the city like it was my own home town. Last night with Rue, was intense and after that cut I needed to breath. I put a hand to my cheek and felt the wound, it wasn't a big cut but it was noticeable. I just hoped that the police wouldn't be asking questions about it.
I wanted Rue to open up because I know that I'm in love with him. I don't care if he's a killer or if I'm young, I knew that I was in love with him. I wanted to be apart of his life so I kept asking him to open up and every time he would stay quiet and I guess we both snapped. Physically and Mentally.
I went into a cafe and sat in the back. It wasn't long until I was noticed by a waitress. I order toast and strawberry jam. It's his favourite.
I felt so foolish. I was probably nothing to Rue, just a girl that wouldn't leave him alone. My vision started blurring as tears were starting to form. I heard a voice but I didn't hear them correctly, even though I had a blurry vision, I saw the outline figure of Rue. At least I thought it was Rue.
I stood up and hugged him.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry so much but I love you." Tears fell onto his shirt, I could have sworn it was white but it was Rue, he did things that even I didn't know. We were like this for a minute before, I heard a voice that I recognized.
"Viv." I turned to see Jack, in all of his glory. Like seeing him at home. It was calm and normal. There wasn't any indication that he'd been through some problems after the fire.
"Jack, I missed you so much!" I said as I ran to hug him.
I could hear him smile. "I missed you too. Have you heard from Lolly?"
"No, I don't know what happened to her." I said.
"Well one day, we'll all be a family again."
I felt a piece of my heart dropped as I suddenly thought of Rue. I didn't want to leave him but I wanted my family back. It was then that I notice that Rue wasn't even around.
