Chapter 6: The First Real Clue

Chapter 6: The First Real Clue?

Aeris peered down again, still shaken by the odd site she had just witnessed. Leeches, what the hell did this have to do with Tifa? She quickly closed the lid and sat down slowly. The killer… he must have sent them for some sick reason. She decided to call Tifa right up.

Tifa and Sephiroth weren't too far from Aeris's house when her phone rang.

Tifa] Hello?

Aeris] Oh God Tifa, I'm so glad you picked up. He sent something to you, its horrible.

Tifa] Slow down slow down, tell me what's going on.

Aeris] Just hurry, this may be important.

Tifa] Alright… if you are scared there is a revolver in my closet in the guest room, ok?

Aeris] Alright, please, just hurry.

They hung up, Tifa then turned to Sephiroth.

Tifa] The killer sent me something.

Sephiroth] How cute, think he has a crush on you? Hahaha!

Tifa] This isn't funny, whatever it was scared the shit out of Aeris. I'm glad we were heading there anyway, time to gun it though.

They accelerated more.

Sephiroth] This is considered speeding you know?

Tifa] Thank you oh mighty genius for pointing out the obvious!

A moment later they arrived at Aeris's house. They entered to find a pale and shaking Aeris. Tifa ran over to her and hugged her.

Tifa] Are you ok?

Aeris] Yeah I'm fine, just a small case of shock.

Sephiroth] Eh, I've seen worse cases.

Aeris] So you really letting him help you?

Tifa] Yeah, but we'll discuss that later. Sephiroth, see what's in the cooler.

Sephiroth casually opened it and peered inside.

Sephiroth] Leeches… tropical leeches found in the remaining rain forests perhaps?

Tifa walked over, peered in, and made a face.

Tifa] Yuck, nasty little things.

Sephiroth] Considering what they are and do, they save lots of lives.

Tifa] I still say yuck, and you won't make me like them.

Sephiroth looked closely at the slimy swimming creatures.

Sephiroth] Hmm… there is a white piece of paper in a plastic bag.

Tifa and Aeris] Huh?

He looked at them.

Sephiroth] In the cooler in the water on the bottom, there is a plastic bag with a piece of paper in it.

Tifa] Aeris, do you have a fork or something?

Sephiroth] No need for that.

He smiled and reaches in the water, the leeches sensing the heat go right for his hand. He grabbed the bag and pulled it out, then he gently pries the leeches off and returns them to the water.

He turns to the ladies, both with shocked looks on their faces.

Sephiroth] Well, let's see what the killer has to say, shall we?

Tifa yanks the bag from him, gives him a look, and opens it. She carefully takes it out and opens the note.

Sephiroth] Well, the killer certainly has nice handwriting… oh… its mine.

Tifa] Yeah… but there are a couple mistakes. Whoever wrote this to careful detail to write just like you though.

Aeris] I had no idea he was so popular.

They looked at her, then back to the note:

My Love,

Please be with me, I want you to come to the set of sun's and meet. Imagine what we can do together, I need you. Please come.

Thiaf

Tifa] Wow, someone has a crush on you hon hahaha!

Sephiroth] How sweet of her.

Aeris] What do you mean her?

Sephiroth] I knew it was a woman all along.

Tifa] Why didn't you say anything you moron?!

Sephiroth sits back and smiles smoothly.

Sephiroth] It seemed to have slipped my mind at that moment.

Aeris grabs Tifa as she runs at Sephiroth.

Aeris] Settle down Tiff.

Tifa] Sorry Aeris, but I have to kill him.

Sephiroth] Well, this girl wants to meet where there is a set of suns…

Tifa] Where the hell is that?

Sephiroth smiles.

Sephiroth] I know where it is…
