Chapter 37: The Investigation Continues
Eventually, Matt made it to the car and he went right inside of it. He placed his head at the wheel for a moment as he was taking a long and deep breath. He was tired of going around places that made no sense. He felt like he needed to do things that made sense, and none of the events going on right now had made any sense. He just wanted sleep though, and there was barely anything that he can do besides just think about how much he lusted for sleep. He started the car engine and started to drive on back to the summer camp, which everybody was probably waiting for him.
As he was driving on back to the camp, Matt was debating to himself if he should start to listen to some music, but he eventually decided against it, although he wanted to, he was just too tired to do it, and as a result he decided that music was going to be a luxury he would pass up on this time around. The camp was probably going to give him the luxury he needed and wanted for the last few days.
Once he was at the camp again, he was going to go and see his girlfriend again and they were going to show their love for each other. He loved showing his love for his girlfriend, and he loved to see her love for him coming along as well. It was sort of a double thing that he loved, and another thing that he just wanted. He wanted to be in love, and he wanted to be loved, and that was why he had loved it so much.
Matt walked inside of the cabin and as he was inside of the cabin where he was supposed to be this whole time, he saw his older brother laying down on his bed, but not asleep. He looked up at Matt and then he rubbed his face with his unbroken hand and then he was standing up. Matt wondered what the heck was keeping the guy up so long, and then while he was thinking about this he did feel like a little bit of a hypocrite about feeling that way, considering the fact that he had been up this whole time. But T.K. was only twelve, while Matt was 16. "Honestly, I have just been thinking about everything right now, and I can't get myself to sleep right now." T.K. said quietly, in order to make the conversation happen while not waking everybody else up.
"I get it. I met somebody at our cabin for a moment. She was talking about you. She was claiming that you were investigating all of this stuff that has been going on here." Matt said and then after he had said that, he looked at T.K. and was waiting for his brother just to confirm or deny what he was saying. T.K. was rubbing his cast and he was still hating the fact that he was carrying like an extra ten pounds on his arm there.
"Yes, I am investigating all of this stuff. Why in the fuck would I not be investigating all of this stuff? Am I just going to let the authorities acting like they are allowed to eat donuts not deal with the stuff that actually matter? You are fucking insane if you think that I am just going to remain here and not do anything about it right now. That is insane." T.K. said and then Matt was just not wanting to argue or agree with him. There was a hint of truth to it, but he in no way liked it.
"I know that maybe it is insane, but honestly you doing this is insane. You are getting yourself in a position where you are likely to die. I don't want to think about my brother dying at the age of just twelve. Do you really want to know how it is going to affect my mind if you die before you even became a teenager?" Matt asked and T.K. just didn't get it. He didn't get why Matt was the one who cared. He could see why his parents would be acting like this, but not his brother.
"Matt, please let it go. I have a thing that I want to do, and I am going to do it. You can try and get me to stop, but I am going to do it no matter what you try and do." T.K. said and then Matt was thinking about it, and he was thinking that T.K. was not mature enough to get it, and that soon enough he would be able to understand it, but for now he was just too young.
"I get that you don't really think it matters. When I was your age, believe me, I didn't think it did either, but when I grew up, the more I understood why it mattered so much. Please, I understand being adventurous. I understand wanting to do something crazy like becoming a self proclaimed detective, but please at the very least be safe about what you are doing now." Matt said and then after he had said that, T.K. was sighing and then he was thinking about the fact that his father would not really get in his business about it, and that if anything, his father would actually let him go around and do this, and that his father was a man who understands his point of view, and he was wondering if he should ask his father about it.
"I will obviously not get in any fights. I will just make sure that only my friends know what I am doing. I know some places where I can hide and not be exposed if I am careful enough. Trust me, I know some people who can give me some locations to hide." T.K. said and the way that he was saying this almost made Matt think that he was actually knowing what he was talking about.
Eventually, Matt thought about it. "I will leave you alone about it for the time being, but the next time that the police come along and start questioning me about what you have been doing, I am going to finally start get in your business about it once again. I think that if you can keep it to a level where you don't in trouble with the law, then I will respect what you want and I will leave you all alone about this." Matt had said and then afterwards, T.K. held his good hand out and he was offering a shake of truce to this idea.
"Fine, I am not going to fight you with this. You clearly are giving me your best alternative." T.K. said and then Matt shook his hand and then Matt stood up and began to head on to his bed. T.K. thought it was smart to go to sleep, so he went on his bed and then he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep and not think about what was going on.
Once Matt was on his bed, he was thinking about Mimi and Tai as well as T.K. and then his girlfriend. He was having so many things that he was thinking about that it felt like his mind was running at like a trillion miles per hour. He felt like if he did not get some sleep, then these thoughts were just going to keep him going for the next couple of days. But then he decided not to take the risk, and he was thinking more about what he said to T.K. and that forced bullshit truce that they had set up as he knew it was the only way T.K. would give Matt anything remotely close to what he had wanted.
Eventually, when Matt had woke up, he was looking around and he was seeing that he was the only one that was still in the cabin. Everybody was probably just out doing their own thing by now. Knowing the conversation that had happened the previous night, Matt would sadly not at all be surprised if there was something T.K. was already doing to be a 'hero' at that moment. But for some reason, the silence was just a little bit blissful, so he opened up the window and he was just letting the breeze of the outside getting to him, and he was wondering if anything that he was dealing with was actually real or not. He was thinking that perhaps he had just dreamed this whole thing, which would have made this a really bizarre dream.
As he was alone for a couple of minutes, there was a knock on the door and then Matt groaned. He was wishing for like ten to twenty minutes to be to himself, but at the same time he knew that this was just plain and simple unrealistic. So Matt stood up and then he walked up to the door and then saw who it was that was there. When he saw who she was, Matt got a lot more happy and then Matt let her right inside.
"Sora, I am so glad to be seeing you right now. I was hoping that I was going to be coming by and see you again soon, but now that you are here, I don't have to worry about that right now." Matt said and then he hugged his younger girlfriend and then after they had started to hug each other for a while, Matt kissed his girlfriend and then it turned into a french kiss that lasted about twelve seconds or so. Once it was over, they separated their mouths and then Matt smiled in ecstasy.
"I was wondering if you were going to be coming back to the camp at all. But now that you are here, I am now worried that you aren't going to stay here." Sora said and then after she said that, Matt closed the cabin door and then he closed the window once again. He wanted to have the moment just to be with Sora alone, and then he would try to get her to understand what he was dealing with, and why he had to do what exactly he did, in terms of just leaving the camp.
"Don't worry, my brother and I have talked to each other and we started to have some form of understanding with each other, and then I went and had a good night sleep. I just hope that he keeps himself safe." Matt said and then after he had said that, Sora seemed to consider that and then she nodded and then she started to wrap her arm around him again, embracing the moment she had with him as well, and Matt was starting to feel like he was falling in love all over again each time he saw her.
"I think that your brother just needs to maybe have a few experiences in order to feel like he is proud of what he has dealt with and everything. I just think that your brother doesn't want to be a person who says that he has done nothing in life at all." Sora had said and then after she had said that, Matt was thinking that it was a little bit annoying that everybody was telling him that, like he understand why he was feeling that way, but he was just annoyed by everybody explaining the obvious to him.
"I would not worry about it. I just want to relax and enjoy the moment with you." Matt said and then he was looking at her in the eyes. "I have really missed you the last couple of days. I don't want something like that to happen again. I want to be right at your side next time, regardless of how tough the situation is." Matt said and then he was feeling a little bit like a homeless romantic as he was saying that, and it seemed to do a relatively decent job at getting her to be a little bit flattered over what she was hearing.
"Matt, I have missed you as well. I was a little bit worried that you were not going to come back any time soon. I am glad that you are here. I know that we haven't done this in a while, but do you want to go on a date tonight? Just you and I? Then we can come back to camp and just enjoy our night here?" Sora asked and then Matt nodded. He felt strange going to summer camp when he left every third or fourth day for the afternoon.
"I would love to go on a date with you. Do you have any place that you want to go to?" Matt asked and then Sora was shaking her head and the Matt just simply said to that "Well, I guess we will just figure it out while we are driving, and you will see what you like to do there." Matt said and then the two of them laid down on the bed and then Sora was thinking about how much her and Matt were getting closer to each other in just the course of dating for only a few weeks.
"You know, I think that we should check out what is going on around town when we are gone tonight. I think that perhaps we will see what we get there. I am sure that there are a couple of things in town that we will like to partake in." Sora said and then Matt nodded and then the two of them were closing their eyes a little bit and then they were just enjoying the short term silence of the room, as well as their loving grasp.
Eventually, Matt and Sora were starting to wake up and as he was waking up a little bit, he was looking right at Sora and he was seeing that she was still asleep for a little bit longer. He then kissed her on the cheek and he was thinking about where he was going to bring her during the date. He did not really know where he was going to bring her, and he was thinking about how he was going to get the money for the date with her, and he was thinking that this was probably not going to go as well as he was thinking it would, and he was thinking that the place was going to have to be relatively cheap in order to actually have it be something he can provide her with.
"Hey Matt, do you have any plans tonight?" There was a voice that asked him. Matt turned around to see who it was. He could see that it was just some random girl who he had been talking with her and there, not at all a person in the cabin with him. Matt did not really feel the desire to talk with her at all, but at the same time there was no real harm in talking with her, so he decided that he was going to do it for the time being just because he did not really want to come off as a dick.
"Yeah, I am going to go on a date with my girlfriend right now." Matt said and then after he said that, the girl nodded. He then slowly remembered who she was as he was staring at her and it was coming back to him. "So Candice, why don't you go around to other people and talk with them? I am already taken, so you are wasting your time here." Matt said and then Candice shook her head.
"I'm just trying to be your friend. Do you act like this to everybody who wants to be your friend?" Candice asked and then after she asked that, Matt did feel a little bit bad over that and then he was walking closer to her in order to try and make her feel at least a little bit better than she had already been feeling by that point in time. "I was just hoping that perhaps we can hang out at the lake for a little bit."
"Maybe tomorrow. I think that I am just going to be very busy tonight. I really hope you don't mind me giving you that answer. I am getting ready for a date, and I can't really waste any time with that right now. I just need to get right to work right now." Matt said and then he started to walk away and then when he walked off, Candice looked right at Matt and then she started to walk away. She was annoyed with how Matt rejected her like that all the time, and she was wishing that she would actually be able to get to earn his respect a little bit more.
"Hey Matt, do you know what the other cabin mates are doing right now?" Candice asked and she was being a little more neutral about this and she was not trying to get Matt to love her at that moment. She was just wanting to get to know the details about his cabin since the people in his cabin went around to a bunch of a different places at all different times, and she was wondering what the hell was going on that made them all over the place all the time and not ever speak to each other for more than a couple of minutes at a time.
"I don't really have any clue to be perfectly honest with you. In all reality, it is none of my business. I don't really have anything else to say to it besides that. I guess that perhaps it is better I have no idea what they are doing. I don't really know if I will be able to feel the same way about many of them ever again if I did know what they were doing all the time. As long as we all meet up and sleep in the same cabin at night, I will just move on and drop the subject and just assume that it is none of my business what they are doing." Matt said and then after he said that, Candice had laughed a little bit as if not really sure if she could argue with him on that.
"I guess that this does make sense enough. I guess I would not really want to know what my friends are doing all the time, as long as they don't really get me in trouble with the law or anything crazy like that." Candice said and then Matt was wondering why she would be getting in trouble with the law over something her friends was doing, but then he decided not to say anything about it as Candice seemed to not really want to talk about it all that much anymore.
"I will just say that perhaps you really do not know how some of my friends actually are. They are some of the craziest people that you can ever meet." Candice said and then Matt was not really sure if that was true. Matt did know some pretty crazy people. After all, his father did have the nazi sign worn onto him every single day basically. That would qualify as strange in his eyes.
"Unless if they are in some form of cult or something like that, I doubt that these are truly the strangest people I will ever meet. Besides, I don't really think that there is anything to say about strange. I think most people are strange in their own way." Matt said and then Candice decided that she was going to keep some of the bigger details of that stuff to herself, not really wanting to argue with Matt about how her friends were and everything.
"You know, I think that perhaps you will understand everything more in the future. Everything is just probably too much for you to really understand for the time being. There is nothing at all wrong about that, but I would not really assume you would get it for now. Once you start to see some of these things come along in your day to day life more, then you will understand why I say you have seen nothing yet. There is a reason this is considered to be one of the strangest towns in the entire nation. There is nothing about this place that is normal." Candice said and then Matt nodded. He was able to attest to that a little bit.
"I guess that I can't really argue with that. There really are some of the craziest stories I ever heard that take place here. But those are folk lore stories. There is no way that any of those, and especially no way that most of those are true. There is just no way that would even be possible. If these things were real, this town would have probably been destroyed by now." Matt said and Candice was feeling like there was a bunch of risks being taken with them talking like this, but since Matt didn't get that yet, she decided she would not call him out on it for the time being.
"I think that I am going to go back to my cabin soon. Thanks for talking with me for a while." Candice said and then after she was telling Matt this, Matt decided not to argue with her, and in a way glad that she was finally leaving him alone. He walked slowly away and then when he was about twenty or thirty feet or so away from where the meeting was, he took one quick glance back and then he started to walk on forward again.
Candice was a strange woman. There was no way around that. He was wondering why she was this way, and he was wondering what she was even talking about on most of these things. Matt felt like he should get to know her a bit more just to see her point of view on a lot of these things. Then Candice decided that she needed to do some more investigating on what was going in this city.
As Matt was walking along for a while, Matt was wondering where T.K. was. Despite the fact that he had made a promise to leave him alone, there was a part of him that was wondering if this promise was actually the right thing to do and then he was thinking about Sora. He was trying to decide if he should try to find T.K. in case, or if he should go on the date with Sora instead. Both of these options were truly great.
"I think that T.K. knows what he is doing. He may be rash, and he may be doing a lot of things that would be considered to be unsafe, but I would not call him stupid." Matt said to himself, finally deciding that he was just going to do the date instead since he wanted to be with Sora so badly that this was just the option he felt like he needed to do for his own sake. Suddenly, as he was sitting down he was hearing some foot steps walking towards him and then they had sat right down next to Matt and Matt was wondering why this person or all people deciding to talk to him.
"I was hearing that you were talking about your brother. I was wondering what the hell was going on. Although if it is none of my business, I will leave you alone." One of Matt's cabin mates said and then after he said this, Matt recognized the voice of Izzy. The guy who liked to use computers a lot and sort of had made some form of a living off of it. Matt was just looking at his cabin mate, not really sure what to say.
"He is just a bit of a wild guy. But it is nothing that you need to worry about all that much. I think that I will just go on a date with Sora instead, since she is better than T.K. and I think that she and I need to catch up after a little while. But then again, I think that even just a day or two without Sora is just terrible for me." I said and then I was thinking about how great the date was going to be and then I said "I think that I will let her choose where this day is going to be, since I need to make up for not seeing her for a while."
"Boy, if you let her choose where to go, she is never going to make a choice. Women never make the right choice, and they just take so long to make any choice at all. You need to be the one who needs to make the choice for her. That way there will not be any sort of stalling out here." Izzy was saying when he picked up the rock and then he tossed it right into the water and then there was a bunch of bounces and Matt could vaguely even hear it after the fourth or fifth bounce and then the rock went inside the water. Izzy turned at Matt and Matt was forced to think about what the guy said.
"Have you ever gone on a date with somebody? You're like fourteen or something." Matt said and then he was tempted to laugh and then Izzy sat down next to Matt again and he was ready to start getting a little bit more serious with the conversation once again and then Izzy made a simple reply.
"Yeah, I have gone on one date before." Izzy was thinking about how it had gone, and Matt was laughing. He was sure that Izzy was a faggot, but then he was shocked and also kind of interested in the fact that he had just been proven wrong. Izzy looked at Matt and then he rolled his eyes as if he was able to pick up what Matt was thinking. Exasperated, Izzy said "Yes, everybody thinks that way of me when they first see me, I am used to it by now. Every time I talk to them, I have to make them understand that this is not really how I am right now. That being said, there was one experience I had with a guy. He was a horrible dick to me, no pun intended, and then I never wanted to go back to it again." Izzy said and then he was forcing his lips together.
"What the hell happened to make you never want to do anything like that again?" Matt questioned and his initial annoyance at Izzy and his nonchlantness was not turned into vague interest. He was thinking that this was going to be a strange story, and Matt was thinking that Izzy better be glad that nobody was listening to their conversation and that it was just the two of them.
"I was eleven years old when it happened. It happened with a guy named Walter, who was thirteen. We were slowly starting to be friends and then one night he invited me over to his house to stay the night. My parents thought nothing of it. I went to his house and we played games for a while and then he suggested that we tried something out. I didn't know what to think of it and then I said yes to his offer, and this was the one time I was not smart enough to pick up the hints. I usually am smart enough to notice things, but this was the exception." Izzy said and then he was taking a large built up breath out of his mouth. Matt glanced at the guy as he continued the story.
"He started to take off my shirt and then as he took off my shirt, he told me to take off his and I did as well. Then we took off the rest of our clothes and he was basically leading the way through the whole thing. It was really painful and I was in so much pain by the end of the event. I didn't really think that I ever wanted to try anything on that regard again, and there was a very vague part of me that enjoyed this, and then afterwards, I went to sleep as it had tired me beyond all belief. Then when I woke up, Walter had all of his clothes on and I put my clothes back on again. I asked him if we can never do that again as I was sore and everything. He said that he won't do it again to me. Then I wasn't even sure if I wanted to hang out with him anymore at all by that point anymore." Izzy finished and then Matt asked the next biggest question.
"Did you ever talk to him again after that? Or did you just leave him forever?" Matt was asking, and then Izzy gave a shorter response.
"I talked to him for another two months. Then after the end of the school year, I never talked to him again. I am glad I never talked to him again. After that had happened, I never wanted to even think about the idea of having it with a guy again. I am not the fondest of how women treat everything with such sensitivity, but at least they are nice, and they don't try and use me, so I am going to go with them by default." Izzy said and then afterwards, Matt nodded and he was thinking that he was going to leave it at that.
"So how was the date like that you went on that one time?" Matt asked and then Izzy gave the story to that one as well.
"I found her at school one day in seventh grade. We talked for a little while and I asked her one day if she wanted to go out to dinner with me. We went to the date and then we talked for a while and she was always really indecisive on where to go and then eventually we went home and then I told her that I had a great time and she told me to stop focusing on trying to be impressive and start to focus on things I enjoy like some random things such as science. I never talked with her again. Every time I tried to talk to her again, she seemed to pretend as if I had never even existed." Izzy said and that was the entire story.
"Interesting. Do you have any real advice on how to go on a date? Not that you have more experience than me since I have been going on dates all the damn time." Matt said and he was saying it in a slightly bragging way but he was also a little bit proud of how he was with the girls, and then Izzy laughed as if he was able to figure out that this was bullshit that he was the one asking him this stuff.
"No I don't. If anything you should be the one giving me the advice. But it seems like you are busy right now, so I am going to leave you alone now. I am going to just focus on my studies right now. Thanks for talking with me." Izzy said and then he was gone and then Matt was staring at the sky confused, wondering if this conversation was real, and if he needed to talk to him again to get more information or if this was a one time thing.
But then, Matt was thinking about hanging out with Sora again. So he stood up and then he was going right back to the cabin. He was ready to go on this great date with her, hoping that it was going to be as great as he was hoping that it would have been. He wanted this date to be able to go along without a single hitch, but he had a terrible feeling that there was going to be something that would be coming up that could ruin this entire thing. It was silly for him to feel this insecure about this, but at the same time he just could not get the feeling out of his mind no matter how much he had tried to do this.
It took him about eight or so minutes to get to the other side of the camp as he was walking a little bit faster than usual, not really wanting to take any pauses the entire walk there. He was just curious about T.K., about Candice, about Izzy, just to see if he was actually going to make any real progress on getting to know all of the details or if Candice was just a crazy girl, and if Izzy was just some crazy guy with one gay experience and had regretted the experience. T.K. was the only one that really got him worried.
Once Matt was at the door, he opened it and then he saw that Sora was smiling and then Matt was thinking about all of the money that he was going to need for the date. "Sorry if this is not really enough to make this a super big luxury. I just needed to get something together for the two of us." Matt had said and then Sora looked at him and she didn't really blame him for not having a huge amount of money. There was nothing for him to worry about there at all.
"I was not expecting this to be a five star date or something." Sora gave him a solid answer that was trying to make Matt think that this was all good and everything. Matt then sighed and then he was thinking about the fact that he felt like he needed to make the date really good, and the fact that he did not really have amazing funds made him feel terrible over the fact that she was dating him.
"I won't worry about it too much since you tell me not to. But at the same time, I am just wanting to make you feel like you are the most important woman in the world. You understand that I have a feeling that you are not appreciated enough, and I don't want you to think that." Matt said and he was feeling strange saying this, and in fact there was a part of him that felt a little bit stupid as he was feeling this way. Then the two were silent for a moment.
"I really appreciate the fact that you feel like you are thinking about trying to make me feel like I am the best girl in the world. But quite frankly, I am just happy to be with you, and I think that as long as you actually are with me, I will know that I can feel like I am the best girl in the world. But I don't need to be the best girl in the world. I just need to know that you and I are still on a good place. I am excited to go on our date." Sora had said and then after she had said this, Matt was nodding, and he was more into the idea of making her feel a bit more normal than he had been trying to make her feel.
"Sorry for being so forceful about this whole thing. I will start to really take it easy from here on out. I think it is best to just take it slowly, and start to have a normal date, with some normal conversations, and just not really make any real attempts at anything else. I think that we should just be transparent, and not really act like we need to have to have a really big and complex and perfect relationship this whole time." Matt said and then afterwards, he placed his arm around her neck and then they were just looking out the window and then Sora was thinking about how nice this would have been.
"I really like to just know the normal you. Nothing more, nothing less. Is there really anything wrong with that?" Sora asked and then after she had asked that question to Matt, he thought about that and then he shook his head. There really was nothing wrong with just acting normal and trying to have a normal relationship. As if nothing really was all that big of a deal. Not that really any of this was actually a big deal at all.
"I think that this date is going to be pretty good. I think that the others will understand how great a relationship will actually be like when they get into one as well, and that they are just missing out on something like this the whole time. I get why they would not really understand what the importance of having somebody you care for being at your side, but once that happens, I think they will truly understand why it actually matters." Matt said and then afterwards, Sora looked at Matt and was ready to continue to speak to him.
"I do have some money for the date. Don't worry about the funds too much right now. Just take it easy. Have some fun. Let's just talk about our future. You know, I have some great plans on what I want to do once we get out of school." Sora was speaking as if their relationship will actually be able to last on a longer level than just a few months or a high school deal. As much as Matt liked her, he did recognize that this was very unlikely.
"I think we should be going on this trip soon now. I don't have any idea where the hell to go. Izzy thinks that I should have picked where we go, but I think that I would rather have you choose where we should go on the date." Matt said and then after he had been saying that, he thought that Sora was getting a little bit more of an excited look on her face when she was hearing Matt suggest that she was going to pick the choice of eating for them, and that he trusted her enough for that.
The two of them walked out of the cabin and then afterwards, Sora started to ask the question that Matt had been sort of thinking about a little bit, but didn't want to make a big deal out of. "I wonder why Izzy thinks I should not be choosing where we go on our date. It seems a little bit odd that he thinks I am not ready to make that kind of choice." Sora said and then afterwards, Matt was just deciding that he was going to keep the truth to himself, while also giving her an answer that she would probably be able to believe in as well.
"Yeah, I think that perhaps they just don't really want to have that happen since he probably doesn't really have all that much experience with people in relationships and stuff. I wouldn't really worry too much about it in all reality." Matt said and he was just doing his best to make sure that Izzy did not really get exposed to anything that he felt like he didn't to be exposed about.
"I guess that makes some sense. I think that once Izzy goes on a date or two, he won't really mind it so much anymore." Sora was saying as she was just thinking about the same conception that she had of the guy that Matt and pretty much everybody else had of him. "To be honest, I thought that he would have been a little bit of a faggot. I guess that maybe he just doesn't do a good job showing the fact that he is otherwise." Matt and Sora were in the car and then Matt started the car as Sora thought about her choice of dating.
"I think that we should go to the chinese place. Might be a little expensive, but the food is good and it is still close enough to here." Sora said and then Matt started to drive off. Matt didn't love chinese food, but he far from hated it and he was able to tolerate the idea enough that he was not going to make a big deal out of it. He thought that it would be fine to have that food every once in a while. And the last time he was there was like three months ago, which was decently long by that point in time.
Eventually, Matt and Sora were well on their way to the date site and Matt was just talking with Sora a little bit. "So do you really think that you are actually going to go along and help your mother more at the shop, or are you just going to try and find a way to get her to see that you have no desire to keep up with that stuff anymore?" Matt was asking and then after he had asked her that question, Sora was just thinking about it a little bit more. She did not want to work there, but at the same time she had so little options that she felt like she was going to have to accept the whole thing and take it like a actual woman.
"You know what, I don't want to work at that flower shop. But I feel like I really do need some form of a job at least until I finish high school, so I am going to accept the idea at least until I graduate high school. Once I graduate and am starting my new life and everything, I might actually consider going back and trying to find something that isn't the fucking flower shop. But for now, I am not going to complain too much about it." Sora said as Matt was thinking about why she needed to have a better initiative than this, but he knew that she was just trying to be nice to her mother about this and Matt did not really have all that much time to think as there was a bunch of cars driving by really loudly and his mind kept losing focus every few seconds.
"I guess that maybe there is something of merit to just working at a nice and easy job. So I guess that there is no real point in trying to change something." Matt said and he was thinking about how much he was really missing a nice and consistent outlook in life. His father was a fucking bigoted fool and said something racist or sexist every fifteen minutes, T.K. was going out and slowly killing himself with breaking his own body parts, and then his mother never even did anything besides just work all day. Yet, his father was never abusive, which was strange to him, that despite how much he was a asshole, he never did anything that would be considered abusive to him or his brother. He didn't like them hanging out with jews or blacks or gays though is all.
"I think that my mother really does just have my best interest in her mind, or at least what she is thinking is going to be my best interest. My mother just wants to see me have a good life, and I think that in all honesty, I feel kind of terrible for this whole hating my mother for doing this." Sora said and then eventually, they were getting close to the food place. But he saw that there was a gas station nearby that was twenty four hours, and he was thinking that since his car was starting to run out of gas, that he would take a few minutes to fill up. There was still twenty dollars in his emergency wallet his father gave him before he left, only to be used when totally needed.
"I am going to stop and fill up for just a couple of minutes. I will be back in a moment." Matt said and then he stood out of the car right next to one of the gas filling places and then he placed the nozzle in the car, enjoying the smell of gas for the first couple of seconds, and then he was staring right at Sora. As the gas was filling up, he was hearing something strange. It wasn't like screaming or anything, but it was just sounding like a guy who was coming towards them and Matt was wondering what the hell was going on.
Matt was looking around and saw that there was a guy wearing a white hoody walking towards him and then there was a knife that he was holding.
As Matt saw this happening, Matt was going to his back trunk and he pulled out the machete that he had held in there and had never had to use. He was holding the machete for a few seconds and the guy with the hoody was getting closer to him, and then Sora started to get out of the car.
"Matt what is going on?" Sora asked and then the guy with the white hoody slashed right at Matt and then he dropped the machete a little bit and then Matt jumped right at him and the knife fell down to the ground and then Matt punched the guy right in the neck, and made the guy gag a little bit.
"Get the fuck out of here. Get in the station and call the police on us right now!" Matt yelled and he was really starting to show his violent side as he had heard that and then Sora realized that there was no way that she was going to actually do anything to help him out, so she ran right inside of the gas station and then she was looking for a phone that she can use to call the police. Matt then grabbed the machete and then he swung right at it, leaving a large cut right in the chest of the guy with the white hoody and then he was seeing that this was not doing anything to help him out. Sora saw as the guy with the white hoody just rubbed his chest a little bit and then he grabbed the knife again and started to get ready to stab Matt as Matt held his hand up and let his hand get stabbed right in the hand.
Inside of the gas station, Sora was placing in two dollars inside of the twenty five cent a minute phone booth and then she was yelling "There is a fucking guy trying to kill my boyfriend at the twenty four hour gas station! Please get the fuck down here!" Sora was yelling she she didn't even care how many people were looking at her as she was doing this.
There was a guy named Jim that was there buying his pack of cigarettes and energy drinks. He then grabbed Sora's chest and then he was nodding. Sora was looking right at him and then he said "I will help you right now." Jim said and then Sora was crying and then she thanked him for this and then the police said that they were going to be there in five minutes as Sora hung up.
Sora and Jim were outside of the gas station and they saw the guy in the white hoody grabbing Matt and then slamming his head right into the car a couple of times, and seeing Matt starting to bleed a little bit and then Matt was watching as Jim was walking closer to them and then he grabbed the neck of the guy in the white hoody and then he was pulling them away and the guy was feeling like he was losing some oxygen as this was happening.
The death grip could not last forever as the police arrived and the guy punched Jim right in the face and broke his nose with the level of force that was applied and then Jim hit the ground in pain and then he started to run off. One of the officers was David and he grabbed his gun with Whitney right at his side. He fired the gun and it almost hit the foot of the guy in the white hoody, but barely missed, and then he was breathing heavily.
Matt slowly walked to the gas nozzle and slowly placed the nozzle back to the machine where the nozzle was supposed to be and then Matt slowly closed the block for the nozzle and then he was trying hard to keep his body safe. His face was feeling numb and he covered his hand with a bandana that one of the officers gave him. "You should be taken to the hospital to get some casting." David said, thinking about when he broke his hand on his early days of the police force, thinking a little bit nostalgically.
"I can handle it." Matt said and then Sora was telling him that this was false, and then she was able to finally convince Matt to let it go and go to the hospital. Jim decided he would go to get some bandages for the nose, but that this was going to be all that he would get and then they all started to head to the hospital. Once at the hospital, Matt was placed in a room where he got a hand cast and a cast on the left side of his face, both of which would be destroyed by the time when this whole killer mystery was over, and when he would have to face some adventures much bigger. Jim got a small nose cast, and then afterwards, Sora and Matt went back to the idea of going on their date, and they both agreed to not even mention what had happened earlier.
Once they had been on the date, Matt was doing his best not to let the pain that he was feeling get to him, and he was just staring right at Sora. "So when do you think you are going to go on some vacations? Like stuff that you plan on just going to on your own?" Matt asked and then after he had said that, he ordered his food and Sora ordered hers. Matt didn't order much since even if he had wanted the food, he was not really able to actually get himself to sleep with how much his face was hurting and the eating was going to just make himself hurt even more by doing this.
"Matt, I don't really think that I am going to be going on any vacations anytime soon. I know that this may sound crazy for you to hear, but I don't really have any chance to make these type of plans. Besides, I am at summer camp and I am with you, so there is no real need for me to actually go on any vacations. being with you is already enough of a vacation for me." Sora said and then after she said that, Matt was trying his best to not really make himself feel like he was the one that was placing her down in her life by doing this, since she was claiming up and down that things were fine. Matt was just not really too sure though, and he was feeling like he was really holding her down, and no matter what she said, that was probably not really going to change in his mind.
"I just don't in any way want you to be bogged down by stuff like this. I want you to actually be able to go on and live at least some form of life. This is making me feel like you are not getting this at all. I am not really able to justify this at all." Matt said and then he was shaking his head a tiny fraction of an inch since he was not really wanting to do anymore than he was already doing so since he was just in so much pain that his expressions would not really be allowed.
"If I went on a vacation, I would most likely invite you along since I really enjoy your company, and not having you with me would be a lot worse than just having a little bit of an annoyance happening every once in a while." Sora said and Matt could tell right then and there that she was talking about the whole attack that happened at the gas station, even though Matt really had no desire to speak on that, he was thinking that no matter how hard he tried, that was going to come up a lot.
"I am really glad that you want to take me with your vacations. I just feel like that really makes me feel a lot more special than it probably should be making me feel. I do wonder though, do you plan on going to college, like to get a further education, or do you plan to go right to the work force? I think I am going to pursue my music career. I have been really enjoying writing music. I am not in any way good at it, but I still enjoy it and who knows, I might be good at it if I keep it up." Matt said and then after he had said that, Sora thought about that and she was thinking about his music.
"I have not really ever seen you play that much of it. I think you have only shown me one or two songs so far, and I want to know more of it." Sora said and then eventually, there was the food that was given to them and Matt was very slowly eating the food, and then Sora was eating her food much faster, but not to the point Matt felt like she was being a slob.
"I want to just make sure that the music is good. I don't want to create something that nobody will like. I want to create something that at least some people will be able to enjoy, that way it will feel like I actually did something that was of worth." Matt said and Sora was kind of understanding the logic of that.
"I guess that makes sense. I just really want to see what you produce is all. When you produce some music, I want you to maybe show me what you are making first, that way I can tell you what you can improve on and what is working well so far." Sora said and then afterwards, Matt thought about that offer and thought that perhaps it wasn't a terrible idea.
"I might do that. But please actually tell me the truth on what you think of the music. Please don't lie about it to make me feel better. I don't want you to feel forced to act like you think this music is hot stuff just to make me feel better. I want the honesty as I actually want to be able to improve what I am working on." Matt said and then afterwards, Sora was nodding. As much as she would love to glorify the stuff that he was making, she was able to get where he was coming from and she was deciding that she was going to respect his wishes just because of how much she had loved him.
"Fine, I will tell you the truth of what I think of the music. Even if the music is a piece of crap and you need to really work it out. I want to see you perform as best as you think you are, and I am going to help you do this." Sora said and then Matt was thinking that this was going much better, even though he was only a fourth of the way through the food and Sora was mostly through the food, and she was just waiting to the point he was done before she would suggest the two of them heading back to the camp.
"Sora, I think that you are quite possibly the only thing here that is even keeping me any sort of sane. You are the person that actually makes me feel like there is something very real to all of the stuff that doesn't even feel real at all. I feel like none of this feels real, and I don't like that feeling of false life." Matt said and then he was thinking about how he was going to make up to Sora for the amount of support that she had been providing him this whole time.
"You are the person that makes me feel glad to be able to keep going on this journey of being a teenager. Hell, even some of the not so great parts of it, such as your brother or your crazy father or your non focused on the family mother are a piece of the charm. I am aware of how your family is like, and I feel like I actually am a part of it in some way. It is a part of my life, even if they barely know me." Sora said and she felt strange saying that about T.K., as she most certainly did not 'barely know him'. If anything, she knew him better than the majority of people.
"I think that I might be ready to go back to camp. My head is killing me. I want to keep this up. I am so fucking sorry for stopping by that fucking gas station." Matt said and then he was eating two more pieces of sushi and then he stood up and then Sora nodded and she was able to understand where he was coming from, although she did not really blame him for what had happened. It was not his fault. He made a choice that made perfect sense at that moment.
"I will drive on back." Sora said and then Matt nodded, not being able to drive there even if he had all the desire to in the entire world. Then with that, they were walking along and then Sora put in the funds for the meal and then they went to the car where Matt carefully placed himself in the shot gun seat and then Sora went to the drivers seat.
Sora was driving and Matt was just starting to close his eyes a bit and he was going to do his best to sleep through all of this, even though he felt like he was not going to really be able to sleep with all of the pain that was going. The entire time that Sora was driving, Matt was just wanting to try and speak to her but with each progressing moment, he was thinking that he had no real desire to keep talking at all anymore.
Once Matt was back inside of the summer camp cabin, that was when he was sitting back on his bed. Sora was just staring at him for a moment. "Just try and get some sleep." Sora said and then Matt nodded as she kissed him right on the forehead. He smiled as she gave him the sweet kiss and then she stared at him as he was out for a little while. After he was down for two minutes or so, she decided to walk to her bed and she went to the bed and the stress from what happened just made her fall asleep right away and then Matt was able to sleep for a while.
Eventually, as he was sleeping, he was thinking that there was some strange noises going on. At first Matt thought that he was hearing the voice of Tai, one of his cabin mates, so he decided against it, but then there was the voice of somebody that he either didn't know, or maybe did know but from so long ago that it was almost forgotten. As he was hearing it more and more, the more that Matt was getting convinced he needed to go on and check this stuff out. So he was opening his eyes and then he was walking out of the house and then he was outside.
Matt was walking along and there was only one of his eyes that was even remotely able to see anything going on at all. As he was walking around, he could tell that it was late enough in the night that nobody was really around at camp at all, which made him start to think that he was indeed sage for the time being from getting in trouble. Matt was feeling good about this since he knew anything that could have gotten him in trouble would have been too busy in their own house.
Eventually, Matt was out in the eating yard where the camp mates would normally eat, and Matt was wondering why the voice was bringing him right to here. But eventually, Matt sat down and then he was waiting for a bit. His head was still half covered with head casting and his hand was just wrapped up in it just barely to the point where he could barely move his fingers and thumb but that was basically the only thing he could do with that hand. Eventually, there was a light that came on and Matt saw who this was.
It was Davis, the guy who was hanging out with Tai a little bit earlier and he was the one who had started the conversation with them. "Matt Ishida, I need your help to solve a murder mystery case going on in the town right now. I had some help with your friend Tai a little bit earlier, and I think that perhaps you will be able to help me out." Davis said and Matt was confused by this and before he was even able to ask any question, Davis started to explain this stuff to him.
"I have been looking into the case of Jeffrey Woods after the body of my girlfriend was found. He has killed over thirty people, and I want to solve this case right here and right now. Your brother is going around, and he is looking to try and solve this case right now. He is a very noble man in all honesty." Davis told Matt and then Matt was thinking about this and then Davis said "Don't worry, your brother is just simply wandering around town with his skateboard a lot and just hanging out with his friends, as he is just trying to find some simple pieces of evidence here and there at different places."
"Are you going to help T.K. stay safe for me? I will join you on the case that I want my girlfriend Sora to be safe and I want T.K. to be safe." Matt said and then after he had said that, Davis was thinking about this and then he was just not really sure what to think about this, thinking that it was just simply impossible for him to actually promise that, but he was thinking about doing that in order to make Matt feel just a little bit better.
"I will do my best to make that the truth. But here is the thing, this man is going to be very mad. He is going to do anything in his power to make our life very rough. But we are going to do anything to make this possible. I really need your help. I need the magic that you have to offer." Davis said and then he said "Jeffrey Woods was the guy that gave you this injury and almost killed you and your girlfriend. Surely you are going to want some revenge." Davis said and then after he had said that, Matt thought about that and he was thinking that this was indeed the truth. He would indeed want some revenge for what had happened.
"I do want to give him back what he had given me, but I have no idea how I am going to be able to do any of that." Matt said and then that was when Davis was placing his hands on the table and then he was just saying something very simple to him.
"Just make sure that he gets exposed and his entire operation goes the fuck down. That is how you can get your revenge on this man. Something very simple." Davis said and then afterwards, Matt was nodding and then he told Davis that he was now in this competition and then Davis smiled for the first time, excited that this was finally going to be the thing that he needed to destroy the killer who had killed his girlfriend. He wanted the revenge even more than Matt, but they both had a common on the surface desire for it. "We are going to leave right away."
Davis and Matt walked out of the summer camp with no simple clue as to what was going on as well as the fact that Davis got rid of the light and then they were just walking for a little while. Eventually, they were inside of his car and Davis had bought a bunch of supply of energy drinks. He pulled out one for himself and gave Matt to one and Matt said "Thanks." Knowing that he did indeed those drinks. Davis took out his cigarette and started to smoke that cigarette and then they were driving off.
As Matt and Davis were out of the camp, Sora woke up and she heard the noise. Tai had heard the noise as well and then they both walked out of the cabin and they saw that Matt was not there anymore. "God damn it, what the fuck is he doing this time? He almost died tonight, and he is going the fuck out again. God damn it, I need to make sure he is safe again." Sora said and she was pissed that this was happening and she looked right at Tai and then she asked the following question "Tai, want to help me find Matt?"
Tai thought about that and then Tai nodded. "I think that while we are out, we can talk a bit about what I have been doing lately, and the strange case that I have been forced to get involved in. I think we can be able to help each other out here." Tai said and then with that, they started to walk out of the camp and despite them not even being legally old enough to drive, as they were only fifteen, the late hours meant they can get away with it this time.
As Sora and Tai started their drive, they were already too far gone as Davis and Matt were thinking about what they were going to do next. "So Davis, can you give me the entire story of what is going on with this Jeffrey Woods?" Matt asked and then after he asked that, Davis sighed and then he threw out his cigarette and placed in another one with all the weapons still in his car and then Davis decided that he was going to give him as many details as he remembered.
"So Tai got questioned by a police officer and then they questioned his involvement with a girl named Kimberly going missing. That was my girlfriend. She ended up being dead sadly. Tai and this Mimi girl, who I think is still at your camp, started to look around and they eventually found me. We looked around and had a fight with Jeffrey Woods. Tai and I spent the whole day looking around for more evidence, and we saw that Mimi was nowhere to be seen. I have a feeling she might be the next victim of Jeffrey Woods, and I need to know if that is true or not. But we found one piece of evidence that we might need to bring to the sheriff David. We found out that there was a bunch of video tapes that contain a few pieces of what happened to him when he first became this killer. I need to find the tapes and once we do, I will bring it to David and then we will have a piece of the case figured out. And we need to see how Mimi is doing." Davis said and then Matt nodded, still getting it.
"Do you really know how you are going to take down Jeffrey Woods?" Matt asked Davis and then he was holding his head by his right hand, and then Davis was looking right Matt and then after he was looking at Matt, they were thinking about what to do, but they didn't really know if they really had a plan. Matt was starting to pick this up and this was really starting to scare the young boy and then Davis was shaking his head and Davis and Matt pulled in at a very empty parking lot, and then they were thinking a bit on this.
"So we should just probably go around and try and find the tape. I have no idea where the tape is, and that is what we are going to look for. I don't really care how long it takes for us to find the tape, that is something we need to do right away. I am a little bit sure where it is, but I need to go right there and see if what I am thinking is the truth." Davis said and then he smoked his next cigarette and then Matt was thinking about while he hated smoking, he thought that with the fear going on, he might as well try it out. Matt held his hand out and then asked the following:
"Can I have a cigarette?" When Matt asked that question, Davis nodded and gave Matt one and after the first puff, Matt gagged very badly and then he was looking at Davis and said "How in the hell do you like this stuff? It is hard to take in?" Matt asked and then Davis smiled and he gave a very simple answer to the complaining question that Matt had asked, and then he was continuing it just to make it feel like he didn't really waste the whole thing. Then he promised to himself that this was going to be the only time he would do it.
"Once you do it often, then you get used to it. It is not really all that hard to get used to it." Davis said and then after he had said that, they were walking off and then Davis said "Okay, first thing first, there is this very small independent news building. It barely sales any copies, but once every five or six years, it does publish one really big story. One that makes it the best selling store in Wayside Minnesota for that upcoming month. If you remember, that is where the first Jeffrey Woods story had been published."
Matt thought about this for a second and then he nodded when he really did remember this. "Well, I think this place still has the tape here, and we just need to ask them a couple of questions, and see what is going on." Davis said and then the two of them were walking towards the news building that was right in the middle of two bigger buildings, and Matt could tell at most eight people could fit in there.
Once they had reached the front entrance of the building, Davis looked at the room inside and he could see that five people were in there. One older man who was probably sixty three or sixty four, and totally covered in white hair was sitting down and writing something. There was a guy who was no older than twenty one standing there listening to the conversation. Then a woman in her mid twenties, maybe twenty six or so, sitting next to the older man. Then right there, the two of them had seen that two younger students were there. Once Matt saw the arm cast with 'V-Loser' on the cast, he knew that it was T.K., and there was the girl with purple hair, and he knew that was his friend Yolei. Davis opened the door and Matt and him walked inside to interrupt the conversation.
"T.K., what the fuck are you doing out at 11:47 in the evening?" Matt asked and then T.K. was standing up and he was looking extremely guilty and then he managed to come back with a question that made almost tempted to just shut up right on the spot.
"Why the fuck are you wearing a hand cast and a face cast? You should be taking even more rest than me you dumbass." T.K. said and then he said "Besides, you promised me that you would let me investigate on my own." T.K. said and then he grabbed his skateboard and then Yolei was standing there and then she was wanting to make T.K. calm down, but she decided against it and then T.K. said "We're going to go to Molly's house now. We need to let the adults take care of the investigation." Then he turned one final time at the reporter who stopped writing stuff down and then he said "Please let us continue this conversation tomorrow." Then afterwards, T.K. and Yolei were outside and T.K. placed the skateboard on the ground and started slowly skating off as Yolei was trying her best to stay next to him.
"Says the guy who is wearing a arm cast and trying to heal a broken body while he is skating." Matt said and then Davis rolled his eyes to make the two of them stop their mini fight and they sat down in the now warm seats of T.K. and Yolei's former spot.
"We are looking into the case of Jeffrey Woods. We need some information for that right now." Davis said getting right to the point, and then the older man was sighing in annoyance, as if he was tired of this entire company being known as the one about Jeffrey Woods, and he was really starting to regret the publication of this. But since Davis and Matt were at least being nice about it, that he was going to go along with it and let them ask their questions but then he would try to sleep afterwards.
"Yes, it seems like every single person in the plant wants to talk about that. What is it that you want to know about?" The older man said and then Davis said that they were looking for the tape that they used to publish the story. "Oh that thing. Actually for once that is an original story. I guess that I should give you credit for that. I don't have any of the tapes anymore. I gave them all to the police chief David. If you really want to know that stuff, you need to take it to him. But there is something that I can tell you about that I think you might be interested in knowing. There is an interview that I set up with Mr. Jeffrey Woods, going to happen tomorrow morning at eleven in the morning, and I was going to go there. But I am tired and I am old. So I think that for both of our sakes, I will let you guys do the interview here now." The older man said and then this was when Davis and Matt thought that this was a great idea.
"Yes, I am going to check out that tape soon enough. I think that perhaps David will give you the tapes if you come up with a good interview. I want you guys to come up with a really good one for all of our sakes. I mean I am tired of this case, but I don't want him to kill anybody anymore, so I will help support you for now." The older man said and then he ripped off the paper with the questions T.K. and Yolei talked about earlier and then he started to write yet another list.
He write another few seconds or so and then he gave Davis and Matt a few questions and then the old man "Ask these exact questions and you will have a good set of questions for evidence to bring to the guy." The old man stopped then and he shook his head. "Hell, take this too. The kid probably shouldn't be too into this at all." Then he gave the papers to Matt and Davis.
"Thank you for the information. I think we should be heading out now." Davis said and then the two of them walked out of the new building and then the two of them started to walk to Davis's car where Davis took out another cigarette and then they started to head on out.
Then with that, the drive was going down and then Davis said "I am going to bring you to the hotel that I paid for yesterday. I rented off another night there. But I think I am going to have to leave in the morning to go to a new safe place. So when we wake up before the interview, we need to grab that stuff. But let's take a few minutes to figure out what we are going to do with this interview now." Davis said and then Matt nodded, thinking that he was really making some progress on this stuff.
When Matt and Davis wee inside of the hotel, the two of them were inside of the hotel room and then Matt was thinking about how dirty the room was. There was a bunch of fast food wrappers thrown all over the place, and it was very obvious that Davis had been only allowed to eat that type of stuff for the last day or so. "Sorry for the mess. Don't really worry all that much about it. I think we need to worry more about the interview that we should be having with Jeff as well as to find where it should be." Davis said and then he was looking at the paper. He saw where it was supposed to be. Just a random house that address did not look familiar in any way whatsoever, and Matt was wondering what the hell was with that house when Matt was seeing the address of his own.
"I fucking hate this stuff." Matt was saying about his casts and then after he had said that, he grabbed his hand cast and despite the fact that Davis was not really in love with what Matt was doing, he was in no way going to argue it since he did know that he needed as much of Matt's body to be used as possible. He took the hand cast off and then he grabbed the fact cast and then he took that off as well, exposing his face as well as his hand. They were covered up with blood. "I am going to take a shower right now. Once I come back, we can talk more about this." Then with that, Matt walked out of the normal room and he took a shower to wash off the blood he was covered with.
The more that he was taking this shower, the more that he was glad that it was coming along now. He was thinking that maybe there was a little bit of excitement to be taking out of this, and that maybe T.K. was valid in a way to be doing this stuff. He was in the shower for about ten minutes or so and then when he was done, he walked out of the shower and put his clothes back on and then he felt much better and walked out of the bathroom.
Matt sat down on the bed that Davis was not on and he was seeing that Davis was looking at all of the questions while smoking a cigarette and he was laying himself back on the bed while doing this look.
"This is a very to the point set of questions. I wish that there was a little bit more material to these questions. I mean, obviously all of this stuff makes sense." Davis said and then he rubbed his face and then he slammed the papers right on the table and then he looked at Matt and was ready to talk about some more personal stuff that he thought Matt would be interested in talking about. "Tell me, how would you feel if you had lost your girlfriend?" Davis said and then Matt was thinking that this was a really close to home question.
"You mean if she was killed, like yours?" Matt asked, feeling bad about asking this question, hoping that Davis didn't really feel all that bad about this question and then Davis nodded as if that was exactly the way that he was asking this. "Well if she had been killed by somebody, I am going to find the person that had killed that person and I would fucking kill them back. I don't even care if I would be murdering a murderer. I would not give a single fuck in the entire world. They would deserve that death." Matt said and he was not feeling bad in any way about saying this, and then Davis was thinking about that and then he had nodded as he had heard that answer.
"Honestly, I might feel that exact same way. The person who had done that would have been clearly troubled, and I think that they are worthy of me taking some revenge onto them. I hope that you would be willing to help me out with avenging Kimberly. She deserved something better than this, and she was much too young to fucking die like this." Davis said and then he was getting less professional about not showing his disdain over Jeffrey Woods and he said "I don't fucking know who Jeff is, but if I find him again, I am going to fucking kill him. He has taken away too many people and there is no way that he deserves another chance." Then with that, Davis and Matt were thinking and Davis said "Kimberly loved the fucking waterfall. After I showed it to her the first time, she could not get enough of it and she wanted to go there every single day."
"Wait a second, do you think that there is a chance that she had died there?" Matt asked and Davis was thinking about this, not wanting to admit it and thinking that there was a small chance that this could have been the truth. But then he shook his head and then Davis was saying the next thing that ruined that idea entirely. "Or do you know a bit about how she had died?"
"I was with her the day she had gone missing. We were talking for a bit, and we were breaking stuff like glass bottles and setting some stuff on fire and bragging about it, just having some fun. I think that she had gone home after I was talking with her and she was talking to me about how it seemed like I was really changing and she was not really too sure about how to handle all of the changes to my personality. I was a little bit hurt by that, but I was thinking that she was liking that to think that maybe I was growing up a bit more." Davis said and then Matt was keeping one eyebrow raised as Davis was thinking he needed to continue explaining a bit.
"Well, I was thinking it was about the fact that I was going to be joining the military soon enough and I was thinking that it was a really good thing. I didn't really think about it. But now that I am thinking about it, I am starting to think that maybe there can be a bit more to this than I would have ever really thought about it at that more. I think that she was talking about the fact that I used to be just a general carefree person, and that she was just wanting that side back to me. Not really this person who actually seemed to be caring more about what I was actually doing in my life." Davis said and then Matt thought about that a little bit.
"I think that she just needed to get used to the fact that things are no longer the same. She probably needed to grow the fuck up a bit. Don't blame yourself about that stuff." Matt said and then he was feeling so fucking tired that he was laying down and he was not keeping anything on his face or on his hand.
"Yeah, I am just glad that we are finding a break on this case. I think that this is what really matters." Davis said and Matt totally forgot in his hazy state that Davis brought all of his energy drinks there and then he was placing them on the table. Matt closed his eyes and he was asleep.
Davis thought about waking him up to talk with him more, but then he decided against it when he realized that Matt really needed some time to recover. So he sat down and smoked three more cigarettes back to back to back before he went to sleep when he realized he finished his pack, and he was glad he had three more in his pocket that he would start the next day and then he turned off the light.
Once they were both asleep, and the room was covered in the smell of nicotine burning, they were just thinking about how the next day, they were going to have to defeat Jeff and if they were going to fight him after the interview, or if they would bring the information to the older man and then they would go back to it once again.
Eventually, there was Sora's car which pulled up at the hotel entrance and she was thinking about her boyfriend being safe while Tai was thinking about how to keep Davis from doing any more crazy stuff. She looked at Tai and she was thinking about if this was actually the proper place or if Tai was not sure. Tai was nodding as if to show the point that this was the correct place and then afterwards, they got out of the car as Tai took out his newly bought pack of cigarettes and they both smoked one before going inside the hotel.
