You're Not a Bad Person

Chapter 29

A discovery found

A great cheer went up from New Yolk City as Sapphire strolled down to the Clakkerz, Ruby sitting on her shoulders. The Clakkerz rushed towards them and jumped up and down with joy. They were happy that they were alive.

The town looked good too. It was back to perfect. Rose and Billy allowed Sapphire and Ruby to go inside the Inn.

There, they rested for a while. The music wasn't on and the Clakkerz spoke to Ruby as she told them what happened.

Sapphire frowned again. She remembered that Bart took her Punisher away. She faced Rose.

"Rose, where's Bart?"

"He came here before, but I don't know where he walked off to," Rose replied. "Why's that?"

"Nothing," Sapphire murmured and she walked up the stairs. Rose watched her.

"I get the feel something bad is gonna happen," She whimpered.

Sapphire walked upstairs, her body aching slightly. She came to Bart's door and she growled. She pushed the door and it opened by itself. She looked around. Bart wasn't in.

"Bart?" She asked. No answer. She flicked the lights on and she gasped. Bart's room was in a tip. Bullet shells and chains laid everywhere, his bed still unmade. She shrugged. She wasn't here to clean up. She moved to the draws first. She opened the draws. The first draw was empty. She tried the second draw. Paper. She dived her hand into it. Nothing. She opened the bottom draw and literally pulled it out. She tipped it onto the bed. Paper fluttered out and a black gun dropped out. She smirked. She found her Punisher.

'Glad you've found your friend, Sapphire.' Sam giggled. Sapphire nodded.

"No damage too. Just no ammo." Sapphire reported. She looked at the scattered sheets of paper on the bed and her eyes widened. There was a note and she picked it up.

'What does it say Sapphire? I can't see it…' Sam asked. Sapphire inhaled deeply

"Bart's note..." She whispered.

'Bart's note?' Sam repeated, the Shaman necklace glowed its red twilight glow. Sapphire nodded.

"It turns out that the Old-man Sekto wasn't buying me from the start.

Even though I succeeded in kidnapping Ruby, I sort of sensed this when Sekto didn't completely let me in a loop.

Under the circumstances, I had no other alternative but to kill Sapphire.

Perhaps she knew this was the way it was going to turn out all along…

My guess is that her ultimate goal might be different from Sekto's and mine. This is just the perfect opportunity to find out.

Even though she's a nice girl, the right money comes first. I do not wish her to get too close to me. That would be too dangerous.

And after I get rid of Sapphire and that annoying Dave and retrieve my reward, I'll put Sapphire in a body bag along with Dave and send them both to Sekto, while Meagly McGraw keeps his eye on Ruby…" Sapphire read out loud. After hearing all of that, she collapsed, totally shocked and hurt. Bart was trying to kill her because of money...Unless Sekto told Bart something to make him think its right to kill her. Luckily, no attempts were made just yet…She lowered her head and began to sob quietly.

'Sapphire, please, stop crying. What are you crying for?'

"I can't help it Sam. What if you were to find out that someone was going to kill you for money. Sekto wants me dead and I guess that's going to happen soon." She shivered. "I don't know where Bart is right now, but I don't want him to kill me…I'm…I'm scared!" she cried loudly, tears dripping onto the floor. She heard Sam's soft hushing.

'Please Sapphire, be strong. Don't be scared of him now. After all of those times he pointed that revolver against your head. I ask you, did he pull the trigger?' Sapphire shook her head. 'Come on Sapphire, it's obvious. He CAN'T kill you.' Sam stated. Sapphire said nothing. But she's got her gun, her trembling stopped and crying stopped, but her heart felt smashed…

She shoved the draw back in and placed the paper back in. She grabbed a small piece of paper and stopped to look at her. Her jaw dropped. 'Sapphire?' Sam could feel Sapphire's horror in her. 'What's that?'

Sapphire looked at a photo which had a beautiful female Slig on it. Over it was written in red writing:

NEVER AGAIN

A tear formed in her eye again and more questions crammed into her mind.

Suddenly, she heard more screaming and the world became a nightmare once more…

Sooo, Sapphire's discovered something that maybe she wasn't suppose to know…but Sam's with her all the way. I just hope she's okay when she seeks the screaming. Hm, that female Slig…and 'Never again'? Hmm, now she's going to find out why Bart's the way he is.
