Chapter 15: Entering the Frey part 3
"This is your place?" Bronny asked, him and Jolyne looked around Joshua's home, there wasn't really anything in it of interest. "It serves its purpose," Joshua replied, "besides, this isn't what you need to see, its below." Joshua pushed his fridge to the side, revealing a door. Joshua opened the door and motioned for the two to follow him. The three walked down the steps and into Joshua's basement, what Bronny and Jolyne was shocking. His wall was full of red lines, pictures, and maps, it looked like a detective movie. "You weren't lying when you said you were searching for this thing," Bronny said. "Seven long years have spent on this board," said Joshua, "hopefully it will be put away soon." Joshua brought some chairs for them to sit in, "please sit, this might take a while." Bronny and Jolyne sat as Joshua turned on some lights in the room, "if there is one thing I've learnt about this figure, it's that it is intelligent," Joshua said, "it makes sure to keep its distance and stalk from a far, it's silent, elusive, but it always watches, once it has found its next prey, it always watches." Jolyne and Bronny looked at each other in discomfort, "if it always watches, do you think it could be watching now?" Jolyne asked, Joshua shrugged, "could be, could be not, you can never be sure, but I would always look behind you."
"But what exactly is it?" Bronny asked, "it's not human, and it certainly isn't an animal, what could it be?" Joshua rubbed his chin, "I, I don't know," he said, "that's been my hardest question, what could this this be, and how is it that it can be so aware?" "But can we kill it?" Jolyne asked, "if this thing killed your family, we have to kill it before it can do any more harm." "That's a stretch Jolyne," Joshua said, "the figure is too elusive to fight, it always avoids confrontation, trust me, I've tried." Bronny stood up and walked over to the board, "you seem to have been really searching for this thing," he said, "do you have any theories on what it could be?" "I have one," Joshua replied, "I believe that this figure is not a living being, but something else, something, paranormal." Joshua turned to face the two, "I believe that this figure is a Stand!"
Laura looked at herself in the mirror, she looked like shit. Laura sighed as she zipped her jacket up, she couldn't believe she was actually taking a job like this, but the money was all that mattered. "I'm going out Noel," she said, "if you need food, look in the fridge." Noel peaked her head from her room, "what exactly did that guy ask of you?" She said, Laura shook her head, "don't worry about it, I'll be back soon." Noel frowned and closed her door. "Hey! I'm not paying you to mope!" Laura looked outside, the hooded man stood in the doorway, arms folded. "Yeah yeah, whatever," replied Laura. The two moved out from the house and into the man's car, Noel watched from her doorway as they left, "I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this, she said to herself. Noel quickly moved out from the house and got on her bike, "I better follow them, just to make sure."
Laura looked out of the window the hooded man's car, a feeling of uneasiness flowed through her, this man was mysterious for sure, and the mysteriousness sent chills into her. "You never said who I'm after," Laura said, "would you mind telling me?" The hooded man chuckled, "you will learn soon enough," he said, "no need to be in a rush." Laura rolled her eyes and leaned on the window. Laura noticed the street they were on, "Cupa Vicinale?" She said, "this is a rich neighborhood, "and?" Laura looked at the hooded man, "who exactly are you killing?" The hooded man sat silent, he stopped the car and turned to Laura, "inside that envelope is an address, take this car and drive there, the paper also has your targets." The hooded man exited the car, "where are you going?" Laura asked, "I have a job as well, take the car, that's my other present for you." The hooded man threw Laura the keys and walked away, "good luck Mrs. Vazquez." Laura watched as the hooded man walked away, "weird guy," she muttered.
The hooded man walked down the long pathway, he took out the Arrow pieces out of his jacket, the tips of them pointed north, and that's where he walked. Ever since his encounter with Giorno, he has put I hold on his plan to do more research, "I hope that my trust in Laura pans out," he muttered, "the time will occur soon, I must obtain these Arrow pieces." The Arrow pieces turned to the left, the hooded man looked up and smirked, "it looks like I have arrived," he said." The hooded man put the pieces back into his jacket and climbed over a fence. He walked past a mailbox, the mailbox had a name on it, it read, "James."
