Chapter 4-

Chapter 4-
Fi pushed her way past all the people standing around busily chatting
on their top of the market cell phones and holding their business portfolios.
Fi put on her purple tented sunglasses to hide the look in her eyes, she
heard Clu and Jack saying something but she really didn't care what they
were saying, her mind was too busy on what
Carey had said to her. How in the world did he know all that? She
didn't even know him but he knew her all too well? Could he be telling
the truth about his friends being stuck in their bodies?
"Move out of my way"
Fi pushed a man out of her way and started to walk faster, she could
hear Clu's voice, he was behind her and he was screaming at her, screaming
for her to slow down and wait up for them. Fi shook her head; she went
to turn a corner but stopped when she felt someone grab her by the arm,
hard.
"What the… let me go"
Clu tightened his grip on his sister's arm and when she started
to kick and struggle against him he grabbed her again and dragged her around
a corner and threw her a little harder then he had planned against the
brick wall.
"Calm yourself down! You're making a scene"
Clu absently rolled his tongue playing around with his tongue ring,
his hand still locked around Fi's arm.
"Like I care! Let me go before…"
Clu looked through his sunglasses. Anger seething through the sunglasses
he wore lazily covering his eyes.
"Before you what? What are you going to do huh Fiona? You may be
tough but I can take you down any day! Your little queen Fiona attitude
is getting on my nerves"
Jack who had been watching warily not doing anything ran his fingers
through his curly hair. He didn't like how Clu was treating Fiona no matter
how disrespectful she had been lately, he just didn't like it. But he knew
first hand not to challenge Clu, but he couldn't just stand there while
Clu hurt Fiona.
"Stop it man!"
Jack pushed Clu off of Fi and then ran over to her and started to
rub her arm.
"Are you okay Fi?"
Clu grabbed Jack by the collar of his shirt and forced Jack to look
him in the eyes.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to end up like your sister? What are
you thinking? Huh? Do you think that you can just push my buttons and get
away with it?"
Fi pushed herself in the middle of Jack and Clu and placed each
of her hands on both boys' chests stopping them from pounding each other.
"Stop it! Both of you!"
"I would listen to the pretty lady… you know how I hate to see my
queen upset"
Fi, Jack and Clu turned around quickly to see no other than Joey
McKlein grinning at them evilly and cockily.
"I'm not your queen, what the heck do you want?"
Clu stared at Joey warily; Clu spit his gum out and started to back
away slowly pulling Fi and Jack with him.
"Going somewhere Clu?"
Joey stalked over to Fi and ran his fingers through her hair.
"All work and no play makes Joey a very angry boy. You look very
beautiful today Fiona"
Jack glared at Joey but didn't dare to make a move no matter how
much he wanted to. Clu pushed Joey back and pushed Fi behind him protectively.
"How many times do I have to tell you to leave my sister alone?
I won't let you put your hands on her"
Joey pushed himself up and laughed and then he lunged at Clu, grabbing
Clu by the shirt and lifted him up.
"Bad choice Clu"
"What do you mean you failed Carey?"
Annie looked up at Carey softly waiting for his answer. She was
mesmerized by this man… what made him so brave? No one ever would of dared
to stand up to Fiona, Jack and Clu, no one had the guts to but he did it
in a second and didn't think about it twice. Annie shivered when she thought
of Fi, Jack and Clu, she had thought she could trust them but they betrayed
her in a second and to think what she had done for Fiona. She was mostly
distraught with her brother's behavior, sure she knew they didn't have
the best relationship but Jack had been too willing to give her up to Fi,
didn't she mean anything to him?
"Exactly what it sounded like Annie, I failed. I failed you. I failed
Jack. I failed Clu. And most of all I failed Fiona, who has never given
up on me or anyone to tell you the truth and when she needs me I fail her
miserably"
Annie stared at Carey oddly and finally let out a soft laugh.
"What are you talking about? You hardly know Fi and she would kill
you in a second, you must have her mixed up with someone else"
Carey took off his coat and put it on Annie's shoulders and smothered
a sad and annoyed sigh.
"No Annie, she's the person I was talking about but I think she
won't be for too long. It's a long story and you wouldn't understand"
Annie smiled.
"Try me"
"Let him go Joey"
Fi tried to pull Clu down but all she got was a smack in the face
from Joey.
"Stay out of this Fiona, this is between me and your stupid older
brother. Who seems to think he can do whatever he wants to do and get away
with it. You forget Clu, even you have someone to answer to"
Clu watched his sister fall to the ground and felt anger fill his
body; he kicked Joey in the stomach and fell to the ground with a thump.
"As I said to you a week ago, no one touches my sister"
Jack helped Fi up with a concerned look on his face.
"What are you gonna do about it Bell?"
Clu lowered his eyes pretending to think and then when Joey was
saying something to Fi and Jack he punched him in the face, hard and direct.
Clu picked Joey up and kneed him in the chest and then kicked him in the
stomach before throwing him down to the ground.
"I might do that, let's go sis, Jack"
Clu walked over to Fi and smiled at her sweetly and put his arm
around her neck as Jack did the same and they walked away and back to the
pizza place.
"So you're saying that your Fi, Jack, Clu, and Annie are stuck in
our bodies? And the only way to get them back and to go back home is to
help us? What kind of trouble are we in?"
Carey took a sip of his soda.
"Well I'm thinking that the person that killed Fi's mom…"
Carey stopped talking when he saw three figures standing in front
of them. Annie looked away from Carey and froze when she saw Fi, Jack and
Clu. What did they want now?
"Well geez don't stop just because we got here, finish your sentence"
Fi walked closer to the table and waited for Annie to move and once
she did Fi sat down with Clu and Jack.
"Well like I was saying I think that the person that killed Fi and
Clu's mom might be going after Fi next, or any of you in fact so we have
to find the killer and we got our problem solved for all of us"
Annie shook her head.
"What makes you think the killer wants to hurt Fi or any of us?"
Carey took another sip of his soda.
"Well it's obvious. The killer probably will go after Fi first since
she saw the murder"
Annie pushed herself up and shook her head once more.
"The killer won't do that. The killer doesn't want any trouble"
Fi, Jack and Clu looked up at Annie at first and then Carey did.
"What makes you so sure Annie?"
Annie ran her fingers through her hair and finally looked up at
Fi, Clu, Carey and Jack.
"Because I'm the killer"
