Case two: Unseen barricades

Chapter 10: The conclusion

Mai stood in a hallway again. She looked around and instantly recognized the hall. The same one she dreamed of before. This time though she wasn't alone beside her she saw the captain. He stood there, next to the shadow she seen before. She was about to call out when the shadow seemed to combust and absorb into himself. Mai then got it. The shadow was a part of the captain, the part of him that wanted revenge, the not so good part of his spirit.

The captain looked over at Mai and let out a bright big smile. "Thank you so much. I can finally move on." He looked down the hall way and the light was bright and a lit. This time though the hall way seemed shorter. He only took a few steps forward and he was already in the rays of the light. Mai could feel the warmth of the light as it hit her skin.

She had an urge to walk forward, but she knew if she did she wouldn't come back. The captain turned around one last time and waved at her. As the captain turned around on the other side of the light was an outline of a old lady with a smile also on her face, and a out reached hand. The captain put his hand into hers.

At that moment Mai knew who she was. It was his wife, the love of his life. She left tears going down her cheeks at the sight. She couldn't help but feel a bit envious of them. She wanted a love like that, and she silently hoped to get that love on day.

Mai felt a breeze coming on from behind her. She turned around to see dream Naru standing there. "It's time to go back." He said with a smile. Mai nodded her head and started to walk the opposite way. One day she would go through that light to the other side. She could only hope that by that time she would have someone waiting for her as well.

Mai awoke and looked around the room. She was in base, but now everyone was starting to put everything up where it all belongs. The border patrol came not too long ago and took Kenji and many of his crew mates away. He now lost the ship, and instead it was being handed over to the only other child the captain had, his daughter Isabel. A border patrol person was directing the boat back to the docks.

Mai sat up on the couch and looked over to where Naru sat with a newspaper in his hand. She let out a small smile at the sight. No matter what he did, he always seemed to be completely focused on the task at hand.

Naru put the paper down and looked up at his assistant. "What are you all smug about?" He asked her with a semi glare. On normal people that glare would cause terror and fright, for Mai it was just another day at work. She was unaffected by his glare of death, but what did affect her was his looks.

"The captain's spirit finally went to rest," She said with a satisfied smile, "and his wife was waiting for him on the other side." She stated. "It was like a perfect ending with them walking though the bright light; hand in hand, so romantic."

"Isn't that nice." Naru said with a nod. Mai grinned at what he said. 'Aww Naru does have a heart.' "Mai tea." He said before he turned his attention back to the newspaper.

'I knew it was too good to be true.' She thought to herself before she got up to go back her boss a cup of tea. She shook her head at the situation. 'Well some things never change.' She laughed at the thought as she walked into the kitchen. 'and some things just shouldn't.'

That's the ending of this case!!! I thought about the ending for this one for like a week and although it's supper short I really like it :P

Anyway Steven and I are already working up the plot line of the next case updates should be coming as soon as we get this plot line done. Thanks for reading and reviewing you make all this worthwhile!
