Prologue
"You see . . . My life wasn't always a mess . . . " Says the raven haired girl. The woman listening to her sighs . . . ("Great, another one.") She rolls her eyes as the girl continues to talk. The girl notices the annoyance but brushes it off. "Everything was fine and dandy . . . until I met him." The girl leans closer to the blond sitting behind the desk to empathize the importance of the sentence. The blond rests her chin in her hand and has a bored expression. The raven haired girl stands back and becomes annoyed at this woman's lack of interest in what she is saying. Yet she goes on . . . "Duo Maxwell." She says proudly, knowing that his name could spark an interest in anyone. The woman's eyes light up and a peculiar smile crosses her lips. The girl takes time to try and figure out the meaning behind the smile but gives up when she sees it dying from the blonds lips. "I know it sounds crazy but . . . no let me start from the beginning. It all happened when I was out for a walk . . . It was a nice day up until some jerk stole my purse! I ran after him but he was too fast. I had given up hope and stopped to watch my purse disappear behind a corner. I went back home and was ready to cry myself to sleep when someone came to my door. When I opened it, I was greeted by the thief who stole my purse. He looked scared and handed me my purse. He said a quick 'Sorry' and ran off."
"Excuse me? Could you get to the point?"
"The point? Oh . . . fine." The girl crosses her arms over her chest. "Duo saw the guy take my purse and made him give it back to me." She said in one breath. The woman looks at her like she was going to kill her.
"Is that IT?" She says, very annoyed. "What was the point of . . . "
"I'm not done." Says the girl shortly. The blond sits back in her chair and crosses her arms. "So we became friends and we lived together for three years. I don't know what he does but what ever it is, it causes him to leave for long periods of time. I got use to it for sometime but . . . " The girl's eyes become a deep blue, eye's filled with strong emotions. A sad sigh escapes her lips. "A girl can only take so much . . . so I moved out. I left before I fell into my feelings for him. He was becoming less and less of a friend to me and becoming something much more . . . I think I was falling in love with him . . . " Her voice is so soft and pure of love for this guy that the blond is transfixed by her every word. She leans in closer, not wanting to miss a word that poured out of this girl's broken heart. "He was not happy that I left and told me it wasn't safe to live alone . . . " The girl touches her face and laughs lightly. "He always was very protective of me . . . Well, I did move, despite his protest. My life seemed like it was returning until . . . " The girl becomes quiet. She lowers her head and closes her eyes. Her hands ball up into fits and she shakes with anger. The blond readies for impact. "MY HOUSE WAS BLOWN OUT OF EXISTENCE!"
"What?"
"My house . . . I went to school and when I came home it was up in flames!!"
"Oh God! Are you ok?" The girl looks at the blond like she was dumb.
"No. I died." She says sarcastically. "That was over a year ago . . . Duo . . . bless his heart . . . " She says 'bless his heart' through closed teeth. "Let me move back in." The woman looks at her oddly.
"Are you saying he blew up your house so you could move back in?"
"Well, I haven't found any evidences that would prove that."
"Look, I feel for you but could you please get to the point?"
"I'm working at it. Hold on!"
"No. Now."
"Alright . . . It has been a month since I have seen him." She says in one breath. The woman sighs and reaches under her desk and pulls out a missing person form.
"Name please . . . "
"Hilde S.." The woman laughs. Hilde's eyes narrow. "What? Don't like my name?" The smile from earlier appears again.
"No just that you are saving me a lot of time . . . " The woman reaches under her desk again. Hilde has a confused expression on her.
"What are you talking about?"
Click. Hilde starts to panic. The woman . . . who is a cop . . . has just pulled a gun on her and has now taken the safety off.
"You see . . . I am looking for him too. And you're going to help me. When Maxwell hears that I have his girl he will come to me . . . " She laughs and Hilde only glares at her. ("Damn you Duo! What the hell have you been up to?") Hilde sighs as the woman continues to laugh. Then something cold touches her cheek . . . Hilde can't turn her head, for fear of being shot, but can tell it must be another gun. She doesn't panic with this one because she can tell the gun is not pointed at her . . . Click . . . this new gun's safety is now off. The sound makes the woman stop and it is her turn to panic.
"Who do you think is faster?" Say a clam voice. Hilde's eyes widen . . . she knows that voice . . . Duo!
