I'm Coming For You: Part 6
Mimi and Joe turned around to find Detective John Walker. The gray haired man held up his badge. "Now what's this about a killer?"
Mimi and Joe glanced at each other. As if reading her thoughts, he looked around to make sure Yolei wasn't around, then he motioned to the cafeteria.
"Well who would like to begin?"
Joe cleared his throat. "You see, it all started when…"
=========================================================================
Yolei stepped out of the shed with a smug expression. She reached in her pocket and pulled out Tai's house key. She left her coat and purse in there. She smiled as she heard Tk's empty threats.
"Yolei! Let me go!"
She smiled as she walked away and into Tai's house and grabbed her stuff.
=========================================================================
Matt glanced at the time. Something wasn't right. He kept feeling that something bad was happening, but he couldn't figure out what. "I have to get to Tai's."
He was about to leave when two names on the news caught his ear. Ken? Izzy? What the hell? Matt fell back into his couch in shock. =========================================================================
Tk lay on the floor with his hands tied at the back and his feet tightly bound. Now how was he supposed to get free? His eyes scanned the dark for something…anything to cut these ropes off. He rolled himself, so that he was facing the window.
"Come on, there's got to be something I can use."
Finally, something shiny caught his eye. He rolled towards it and stopped when his face was directly in from of a sharp steel garden tool, which had a long wooden handle with a sharp jagged wheel at the bottom. What kind of tool did Sora say this was? He knew he saw Sora using it in the garden before. Oh well. Just get free Tk. And save Kari, and Sora.
=========================================================================
Sora closed her eyes in defeat. Then suddenly, he stopped kissing her, but his lips were still on hers. Her eyes slowly opened. Tai? He was knocked out. But who? Someone pushed him off. "Kari!" Sora cried happily as she hugged her. "I thought you left."
"I did, but I felt guilty and came back. Looks like I came back here in time." Tears shimmered in her eyes as she looked at her brother.
"We-we'd better get out of here before he wakes up," Sora said shakily.
"Yeah," choked Kari. She couldn't believe her brother…
"I can't believe he almost raped me," she said as her eyes became misty. What's happening to everyone? It was then that Sora saw her purse. She grabbed and stood up. Her eyes narrowed. "Come on Kari, let's get Tk."
=========================================================================
"So, you suspect your friends Taichi and Yolei are behind this?"
Mimi sighed as Joe held her hand. "Yes," they both said.
Detective Walker got up. "If you'll excuse me, I need to go back to the police station." He pulled a card out of his jacket. "Here's my card. If you remember anything else about that night or find something that could help, please contact me immediately."
Mimi stuck out her manicured hand and accepted the card. Why? Why does this have to happen to us? Oh, I hope everyone is safe…
Joe interrupted Mimi's thoughts. "I'm going to call Matt. Maybe he knows where everyone is."
=========================================================================
Ring! Ring!
Matt snapped out of his daze and picked up the phone. "H-hello?"
"Hey Matt. It's me Joe."
"Joe, did you hear? About Izzy and Ken?"
"Yeah," Joe replied grimly.
Matt could hear Mimi in the background.
"Hang on a sec, Matt." Less than a minute, Joe was back. "Matt, look at channel 7."
"Why?" Matt asked.
"Just change it," Joe said urgently.
"Okay, okay, jeez Joe-" Matt stopped talking when he heard the newscaster.
"The body of Davis Motimiya was found today. Apparently, someone had strangled him and then dumped him in Odaiba's Bay…"
"Oh my God," Matt said in shock.
"Listen Matt. Mimi and I talked to this detective at the hospital. He was investigating what happened to our friends."
"Are Izzy and Ken okay?"
"They haven't woken up yet."
"Yolei right?" Matt almost said Tai, but stopped himself. Why did he want to accuse Tai? Why? Because something in his gut told him that Tai was behind this.
"Don't cry," Joe said soothingly.
Now, Matt was confused. "Huh? I'm not crying."
"No, not you, Mimi. Sorry, what were you saying?"
"Yolei and Tai, right?"
"Yeah."
=========================================================================
Sora and Kari quietly headed towards the shed, just as Yolei was pulling out of the driveway. They both froze and ducked behind a tree. They waited till they could no longer see or hear the car before getting out.
"That was close," remarked Sora.
"Yeah, let's get Tk. Hopefully he's not-not-" Tears started to form in her eyes.
"Don't Kari. Don't think like that," Sora said sternly.
With a few more sniffles, they cautiously opened the door.
=========================================================================
Yes! Free at last! He managed to cut himself free, but he did pay a price. He had a few cuts on his wrists.
Creak!
Tk's blue eyes widened as he heard the door open. He quickly grabbed the same wood that Yolei hit him with and raised it above his head. He was about to bring it down on whoever it was when…
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Kari and Sora.
Tk jumped back. "Ah!" he yelled as he tripped over his untied shoelaces, and landed hard on his butt.
"Tk!" cried Kari happily as she hugged him in a death grip.
"Ow, Kari…too tight…can't breathe…"
"Oh sorry." Kari got up and helped him up. He noticed Sora standing there quietly with downcast eyes. He looked at Kari questioningly and she frowned. She then whispered something to him. "He what?! Oh my God, are you okay Sora?"
"Physically, yes," she replied. She looked over at Kari. "Don't worry about me, worry about Kari. She's the one that found out that Yolei and her brother are partners," she said bitterly. Sora went into her purse and pulled out her keys. "I suggest we get out of here before Tai wakes up. My guess is that he'll be pretty mad." She then spun on her heels.
Tk and Kari just stood there.
"Well, are you two coming or what?"
They both started moving, but Sora just stood there. How could Tai do this to his sister? Our friends? Me? What happened to our courageous leader? Why Tai? Why? We were best friends…we were more…I thought he loved me… Her crimson eyes began to glisten under the pale moonlight.
"Hey, Sora! You coming?" Tk yelled over his shoulder.
"You guys go to Matt's and call the police. I'll be there soon," Sora yelled back. =========================================================================
Tk started up his car and opened the door for Kari. "I don't like this."
"Neither do I. Tk, please get Sora," pleaded Kari. She watched as Tk left and put her head in her hands. How could Tai? Why? Kari felt her insides tearing up. Her own brother! "Why Tai? Why?" Tears started streaming down her face. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't realize someone was near her door. She threw herself on the driver's seat and cried harder. "Why? Tai? Why?" she sobbed.
"Did someone say why?"
Kari turned around to find the door wide open. Her brown eyes widened in fear at seeing her brother standing there grinning. She wanted to scream but she couldn't will herself to. Her throat became dry as she silently screamed. Suddenly, she found her voice. But just as Kari was about to scream, Tai's hand covered her mouth. He dragged the shaking girl out of the car. Kari was stunned at first. Then her senses kicked in.
"Stop struggling sis," snarled Tai.
=========================================================================
"Sora?" Tk called softly. "Come on, you're coming with us. You're in no condition to drive."
She was about to say something but was cut off.
"Sora, we're not leaving without you. We're worried. Kari sent me here and you're coming."
Normally, Sora would have put up a fight, but she felt so…so…shattered. She followed him to the car but…
They gasped, as they saw no sign of Kari. Then they heard a yelp of pain from someone. "Kari!" they both yelled as they ran towards the dark shadowy trees.
=========================================================================
"Ah!" she screamed as Tai hit her across her face, leaving a red mark. "Stop it Tai!" she screamed. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"Why? Ever hear of something called a will? Well guess whom our parents trust more? You. You're the one to inherit the house, property, and most of our parents' money."
"So this is why? But-but you're my brother…" she whispered.
"Yeah I was, and still am. If anything should happen to you then it all goes to me instead. Of course, our parents are not here. And I doubt they'll be coming back."
"W-what? You killed our parents too?" Kari couldn't believe her ears. Tai killed Davis and her parents. He hurt Ken and then Sora…he almost… "What happened to you?" Something caught Kari's eyes. Or should I say two people.
"Do you know what the Digiworld did to me? I had to accept so much responsibility and pressure as the leader. And going-ah! You have no idea how hard it was for me. No idea!" he screamed.
This was Tk could thing. His anger was boiling his blood. In one swift moment, he lunged at Tai from behind. In no time, they were fighting furiously. Sora ran over to Kari worriedly. "Are you okay?"
"Get out of here! If I'm not there in five minutes or you see Tai, drive to Matt's and call the police," Tk yelled to the girls.
They both reluctantly ran to Tk's car, which was still running.
=========================================================================
Meanwhile…
Izzy twisted and turned in the hospital bed. "No…" he murmured. A cold sweat broke out as if he was experiencing something worst than a nightmare. "No Tai…no Yolei…leave them alone…Tk…Matt…save them…Kari…Sora…run…hide…get out…"
Images and shadows weaved their way in and out of Izzy's mind, torturing the boy with nightmares, helplessness, and fear…
=========================================================================
Sorry it took so long. Time, time, time. Where does it go? *sigh* Anyway, I hope this is keeping you all riveted. I know, I know. Yes I am evil. I always leave off with a cliffhanger. Sorry to keep you guys and gals in suspense. Will Tk make it back in five minutes, or will they have to leave him behind? Will they ever get to Matt's? And just where is Cody? Is Ken okay? Find out in the next part of, I'm Coming For You.
