Chapter 4 The First Move
Zidane quietly walked into the living looking around for something he needed. "Damn.I know it's here somewhere..where is Sarah's birthday gift?" he said. Today was Sarah's birthday...she is now 1 year old and is expecting a great party for her today. Zidane continued looking everywhere for Sarah's birthday gift, it was early in the morning and the time is 5:30AM, he constantly looked repeatedly in the same spots he had already searched.
"Damn..if I don't find it.I'm dead.I know it's here somewhere, geez I even remember putting it here for crying out loud."
Zidane continued searching for the missing gift that was for Sarah when..
"Hmm.Zidane...hmm what are you doing up so early..hmm." A sleepy Garnet said as she came by rubbing her eyes feeling a bit woozy. Zidane sighed as he looked at his wife. "I don't know where I put Sarah's birthday gift." He said.
"Hmm..Zidane..how could you?"
"I'm sorry maybe you moved it or something."
"..Now how can you say that?"
"Well..who knows."
"Zidane.I never move things around all the time."
".Well.ok..lets not argue over this.I'm sure it's here somewhere."
Zidane began looking again as Garnet stood there watching him, she noticed something right next to his tail on the table.
"Zidane is that it?" Garnet pointed out. Zidane looked up and towards the table looking at a wrapped box.
"YES!" he screamed.
"SSSSSSHHHHHHH..you'll wake up Sarah." Garnet hissed.
"Oh sorry..heh."
"Zidane how can you miss something like that."
".Well its dark in here."
"Then why didn't you just turn on the light then?"
"Um..I didn't want to let it wake up Sarah?"
"..Zidane...her door is closed."
"Um..heheh..oh man."
"Zidane...just come to bed with me please?"
"Lemme put this away first."
"Zidane.leave it..it won't go anywhere."
"Alright...I'll leave it."
Zidane got up and walked over towards Garnet as she yawned.
"Zidankins..why are you worried about Sarah's birthday gift?" Garnet asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his body. Zidane grabbed a hold of his wife and picked her up.
"It's her first birthday that's why.and I want to make it the best one." Zidane said.
".Zidane.there's more birthdays where that came from...its ok if you mess up one."
"But baby doll.I want her first one to be good."
"Zidane.you're so sweet...you know.but.." Garnet began to yawn as she closed her eyes and rested her head on Zidane's shoulder. "I think Sarah can handle one mistake."
Zidane began walking towards the bedroom with Garnet in his hands; she began to fall asleep in Zidane's hands resting for what's ahead for her first born daughter.
Later that day both Zidane and Garnet woke up at 9:00AM and prepared themselves for Sarah's birthday party in the park. Garnet walked out of her room and into the living room where Zidane sat on the couch waiting for Garnet, Zidane looked towards her and a very familiar sight occurred to him. Garnet was wearing her old Royal Gown from before she was once was a queen.
"Dagger..you look beautiful." Zidane said as quirked a smile to Dagger.
"Thank you..everyone is going to be there.so I decided why not remember the old times like it was." Dagger smiled.
"Yeah it has been a while since we all came together as one. It'll be like old times when we were traveling."
"Yes it will..plus we even have a new friend for Sarah."
"You mean Rose?"
"How did you guess?"
"It was easy...they really like each other more than anything..except for you and me of course."
Dagger giggled a bit as Zidane got up and walked towards her and embraced her in his arms. "Zidane..why don't we get the birthday girl." She said. Zidane pecked Garnet on the lips as she closed her eyes and soothingly kissed Zidane back. "Alright.lets see if she's up though." Zidane said pulling back.
The two parents both walked over towards Sarah's room, they slowly opened the door and entered the quiet room. Garnet walked over towards Sarah's crib as the tiny baby was still sleeping away, all cozy under her blanket, breathing softly with her eyes shut tight. "Zidane..she's still sleeping." Garnet quietly whispered as he walked from behind her. "She must be ready for her big day today." Zidane said. Garnet slowly and carefully picked up Sarah as she wrapped her blanket around her and rested Sarah on her shoulder. "Hmm.Sarah.you're so lucky today." Garnet said as she kissed Sarah on the side of her head. Garnet and Zidane both walked out of Sarah's room together and headed towards the living room. They both sat down together on the couch while staring at a sleepy Sarah..still snoozing away.
"Sarah looks so adorable when she sleeps like this." Garnet said.
"Why do you say that?" Zidane asked.
"Well..having seeing Sarah a lot..she's had different positions for when she slept..of all the ones I have seen.this one is the adorablest of them all."
"Ah so you have noticed also."
"I have?"
"I've been seeing her do the same thing you've just said."
"So..of all the ones we've both seem in the past year..do you think this is the best position ever?"
"I guess so."
In a sense of emotion.Sarah slowly began to wake up, while two parents began staring at her. Sarah's pour green eyes began flashing towards her father and mother giving them both warm feelings about the day ahead of them.
"Good morning Sarah and happy first birthday." Garnet said giving Sarah a warm hug.
"Hello little birthday girl, today is your big lucky day." Zidane said smiling.
Sarah looked up to her mother and father as she laid a smile towards them, the tiny infant slowly rubbed her head against Garnet's neck and rested itself with it's eyes open half way. Zidane slowly put his hand on top of Sarah's hair and slowly began stroking the bits of it; Sarah began purring as cuddly as a kitten.
"Isn't that cute? She sounds just like a kitten." Zidane said as he smiled.
Garnet laid a smile.
"She does..but maybe it's because she is a cute cuddly kitten." Garnet said.
"Shall we go meet everybody Dagger?"
".Yes..lets go see everybody once again."
Garnet and Zidane both got up and headed for the door, Garnet put on her open toed high heels while Zidane put on his old boots he wore during his adventure.
"Oh Zidane...your wearing that?" Garnet said sensitively. Zidane wore a plain blue T-Shirt and black jeans.
"Who said I was wearing this crazy get up?" he said. With that Zidane ripped his t-shirt and pants revealing Garnet his old blue vest with a white undershirt and long blue pants, Garnet smiled and giggled a bit.
"That's my Ziddy-poo." She said still giggling. Zidane cocked his head towards Garnet as he walked over and picked her right up from off the floor.
"AAAAHHH ZIDANE!!!HEHEHE!!I have Sarah in my hands HAHAHA." Garnet yelped laughing her head off. Zidane put Garnet back down as she held Sarah with one arm and dusted herself off with the other. "Zidane..what did I tell you about picking me up while I'm wearing my clean dresses?" Garnet exploited with her tone rising up a bit.
"No." Zidane quickly replied grinning at the same time.
"ZIDANE!?"
"Hey.just kidding....heh I never forget what you say. Oh I almost forgot."
Zidane walked into the living and grabbed Sarah's birthday gift from off the table. "No way will I forget this baby." Zidane said casting another grin towards his wife and walking back to her. "So.are we ready?" Garnet asked.
"Yes we are." Zidane said.
"Then we shall be on our way."
Zidane opened the door as Garnet walked out of the home with Sarah in her hands followed by Zidane shutting the door. The blue sky was clear with no single sign of a cloud, the birds were chirping and flying around the area, butterflies came from out of the bushes and flew across Sarah's view of vision, with interest Sarah stared at the butterflies as the many colors on each shined in beauty and flew close around her. "Those are butterflies Sarah." Garnet said still walking with Sarah in her hands. A butterfly flew across Zidane's nose and slowly landed on Garnet's left arm, Sarah gazed at the colorful butterfly as it folded its wings, with blending blue and yellow color, Sarah found the butterfly fascinating and couldn't help take her eyes off it.
"Do you think she likes it?" Zidane asked as Garnet looked at Sarah staring the little insect.
"Hmm...she seems to be interested in it.so maybe." Garnet said.
With that the butterfly began flapping its wings as it lifted off Garnet's arm and slowly flew off as Sarah watched it fly away.
"Aaaaww.she loves it." Garnet said happily.
"Maybe she'll do this at the park, there are many butterflies there." Zidane said.
"Hmmm.maybe Sarah's birthday will be more entertaining than we thought it was."
"Oh it will be."
With that Garnet and Zidane continued to walk down the walkway and made a left turn and decided to walk towards the park instead of driving.
Central Park, Alexandria's biggest park, known for its truly amazing gardens, trees, animals, insects, and people. The sight of many butterflies flew around the park's picnic area, as a group of people were sitting down on top of red and white checkered blankets along with food like pizza, salad dressing, and finally a birthday cake with Sarah's name on it. A reunion between old friends brought more than happiness..but a sense of old memories.
"Garnet.your daughter looks so adorable.she looks just like you." Freya said as she played around Sarah's tiny arms.
"Thank you." Garnet said as she held Sarah while sitting down.
"Aaaawww.Sarah looking soooo CUTE!" Eiko yelled out a bit smiling at the little 1 year old.
"Tell me something Garnet, why does Sarah look so cute?" Vivi asked curiously, Garnet giggled a bit along with Zidane who was sitting right next to her.
"Well Vivi.I don't really know.she.she."
"She's cute because my wife is cute also." Zidane said as he interrupted her slipping Garnet a kiss on the cheek.
"She good..but why no she eat yummie yummies?" a familiar old Quina said who had pizza sauce all over itself.
"Well.she's just a baby, babies eat whatever they see." Zidane said.
"Garnet...may I?" Mikoto asked as she had her arms out.
"Sure..she is your niece; you can hold her whenever you want Mikoto." Garnet said as she handed Sarah to Mikoto.
"Oh Sarah..Sarah you such a good little girl.yes you are.oh yes you are." Mikoto coed Sarah ash she kissed her on each cheek making Sarah giggle.
"Hey Zidane...when are we gonna have that cake!? I want to have it now!" Eiko complained a bit.
"Oh..Zidane.that reminds me.where's Beatrix and Rose?" Garnet asked.
"I don't know..has anyone heard from her?" Zidane asked.
"Oh.she said that Rose had to go to the hospital for Rose's check up." Freya said.
"Aaaw..do you know when she'll come back?" Zidane asked.
"She say she be here late." Quina said.
"..How late?" Garnet asked.
"Like a good ten to twenty minutes late." Vivi said.
"Aw man..I bet by now Sarah wants to see Rose..seeing these two together.they seem to enjoy each other a lot." Zidane said.
"Well..we'll have to wait for them." Mikoto said.
"NOT ON MY WATCH!" a voice from across the other side of the group's current location.
Everybody look over across and saw Beatrix holding Rose walking over to where they were.
"Beatrix...you're just in time!" Zidane cheered.
"Welcome Beatrix..and to you to Rose." Freya said.
"Hiya Beatrix and Rose." Eiko said as she waved her hand.
"Hi Beatrix." Vivi kindly said.
"Hi.Beatrix, Rose." Quina said.
Beatrix walked over towards Mikoto who was still holding Sarah in her arms.
"Oh..good day Beatrix..well I know what Sarah wants." Mikoto said as she put Sarah on top of the blanket she was sitting on.
"Oh..and so do I..Rose..here's your friend Sarah." Beatrix said as she softly put Rose down next to Sarah.
Both Sarah and Rose gazed upon each other as they slowly began crawling close to each other and giggling, the both sat up and kept touching each other's leg. The sight of these two playing with each other made everybody aaaaaaawwwwwwww at their friendship at an early age.
"They're the cutest things to ever see together." Garnet said watching her daughter play with Rose.
"Hmm..you know..I never thought I'd live to see a day where my daughter would be playing with yours Garnet." Beatrix said.
"Same here..Rose and Sarah..our daughters have a little way with each other." Zidane said.
"Yes they certainly do..they both liked each other on first sight." Mikoto said.
"When these two grow up..we all know they'll be the best of friends won't they?" Eiko asked.
"Yeah your right Eiko.they will be." Zidane said.
Elsewhere in Alexandria, another birthday party was going on in front of a huge two floor, 40 room mansion in the northwestern area of Alexandria. The birthday was of one Vicki Treacy who was going to be one years old in the next few days but was celebrating her party early. The guests consisted of family and friends which seemed to have a huge number of about thirty people along with the small one year old birthday girl herself.
"Amanda dear, your daughter looks soooo cute today." Tina the aunt of Vicki said as she kissed a half way opened eyed Vicki on the cheek.
"Tina..where's Sean?" Amanda asked.
"He said he had to pick up something he'll be back later."
"AMANDA!?" a voice from across the yard yelled out.
"Oh great..WHAT IS IT WILL!?" Amanda asked her husband Will.
"AREN'T WE SUPPOSE TO HAVE THE ENTERTAINERS HERE BY NOW!?"
".I TOLD YOU THEY'LL BE HERE AT 11 o' clock; IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE YET!"
".He can be so rude sometimes." Tina said.
"Yea I know what you mean." Amanda replied as she moved Vicki onto her other shoulder and rested her there.
"Well.I guess we could move on with the food now. Everybody is kind of waiting."
Amanda got up from her chair as she headed over to the large table along with yelling out "We're going to eat now!!!" Everybody began taking their seats as they began feasting on Pizza, Nachos, Salad, Hot Dogs, Burgers, and steak. Some people continued eating while a few came and visited the birthday girl.
"Oh Amanda.may I see Vicki's cute little face?" Sharon, who happened to be Vicki's godmother, asked.
"Oh sure Sharon, here she is." Amanda said as she handed Vicki to her loving godmother.
"Vicki you sweat little thing to your godmother." Sharon said as she grabbed Vicki and looked at her face to face. Sharon's eyes all of a sudden widened as she stared into Vicki's cold dark brown almost black eyes that almost showed no pupil in sight, fear struck her fast, so fast it was as fast a cheetah attacking it's prey with no sense of stopping for anything. The woman stood there speechless and in deep shock of what she was witnessing before her eyes, her mind was deep down lost in thought and was no way out.
"Sharon? Sharon!?" Are you ok!?" Amanda yelled as Sharon shook her head and blinked a few times.
"Oh.I'm fine..I'm sorry." Sharon said as she handed Vicki back to her mother.
"Sharon you look miserable..isn't it time for your aspirin?"
"Huh.oh yea I almost forgot."
Sharon walked away as Amanda stared at her a bit concerned along with Vicki who seemed to be giving a half opened eye look on her.
Inside the large mansion in one of the bathrooms, Sharon washed her face repeatedly, not evening stopping. She looked at herself in the mirror staring cold paled face look. "..I knew this day would come.."she said beginning to laugh a bit sadistically.
"She's..the one.hehe..she's..she's going to bring it...it's coming.I KNOW IT..THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY!!!!"
Sharon crazily ran out the bathroom door and began heading out towards a nearby room, while running along she grabbed a long 8 foot rope, she dashed through the door and looked around the room. Sharon laid eyes on the open window and slowly walked over to it and began rapping the rope around her neck.
Back outside in the back of the mansion everybody was still partying around in the yard when it came.
"VICKI!!!!" a voice yelled.
Everybody began looking all around and then made their attention towards Sharon.who was half way out the window with robe tied around her neck still, it seemed that nobody noticed the rope while she was still standing there, but in a sense Vicki look towards her godmother and watched with interested along with her whole family.
"..THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!!!" Sharon yelled out as she jumped out of the window and soon cocked back up and back down...and was hanging by the rope motionless with no signs of movement. It was then that Sharon had hung herself committing suicide. Everybody looked and gasped in terror, which soon led to screaming in terror.
Back at Central Park the group was about ready to leave for home when the sounds of sirens began wailing through as over seven police cars followed by an ambulance and finally a fire truck. ".What's all the commotion?" Garnet asked.
"Hmm, I don't know but this looks serious." Zidane said.
"They look like they're heading over towards the northern west section of Alexandria." Beatrix said.
"Do you think we should check it out?" Freya said with a concern look on her face.
"Hmm I don't know...but by the look of things it looks serious." Garnet said.
"But how will we get there? Zidane and I didn't drive, we walked and we have Sarah here."
"Why don't I drive you two? There's room for all three of you." Beatrix said as she held Rose in her arms.
"Alright we're all set then.we better hurry up and see what's happening." Zidane said as everybody began rushing for their cars.
There was a huge crowd overlooking the horrible incident that occurred at the mansion as the crowd was being told to move along by the police force. Soon Beatrix pulled up form behind the crowd as she stopped the car and turned off the engine. Garnet and Zidane got out first while Beatrix stayed behind looking after Rose and Sarah, Garnet rushed over passing through the crowd while Zidane got caught and stayed behind; she constantly pushed one by one out of the way and soon reached the front. "OKAY MOVE ALONG PEOPLE NOTHING TO SEE HERE." A female police officer yelled out. Garnet stared her attention towards the officer and brought to herself asking what was going on. "Um excuse me officer, I would like to know what's going on?" Garnet asked as the officer paid her attention towards Garnet.
"Oh.Ms. Garnet.I didn't notice you there..well.we received a call that someone here committed suicide during a birthday party by hanging them self by a rope and jumped off the second floor." The officer said.
"Oh that's horrible.do you know who it is?"
"I'm sorry but..I can't give away classified information."
"Oh its ok I just wanted to know what happened that's all."
Garnet began making her way towards Zidane feeling a bit uneasy.
"What happened?" Zidane asked.
"..Someone hung them self." Garnet said looking a bit down.
"Do they know who it was?"
'Yes but they wouldn't tell me."
"Oh well.but it's better than nothing."
Zidane took a quick glance at the horrible sight as he took a big notice a person on a stroller covered up on a blanket being rolled into an ambulance. "DAGGER LOOK!" Zidane yelled as he pointed to the stroller. Garnet looked over and saw the stroller making her cup her mouth in disbelief.
"Why would someone do such a thing.and on a birthday too?" she said.
"I don't know.....but I don't think I want to know more.lets go Dagger....we should worry about Sarah than this." Zidane said as he wrapped his left arm around Garnet's neck softly.
"Your right..lets leave before something worse happens."
Both Zidane and Garnet began making their way back to Beatrix's car..unaware that someone was watching them. The blue eyes of Tsunami who watched them head back, she shifted her attention towards the dreaded site making disgusted look on her.
".It has begun..."

"I'm sorry maybe you moved it or something."
"..Now how can you say that?"
"Well..who knows."
"Zidane.I never move things around all the time."
".Well.ok..lets not argue over this.I'm sure it's here somewhere."

"Aw man..I bet by now Sarah wants to see Rose..seeing these two together.they seem to enjoy each other a lot." Zidane said.
"Well..we'll have to wait for them." Mikoto said.
"NOT ON MY WATCH!" a voice from across the other side of the group's current location.
Everybody look over across and saw Beatrix holding Rose walking over to where they were.
"Beatrix...you're just in time!" Zidane cheered.
"Welcome Beatrix..and to you to Rose." Freya said.
"Hiya Beatrix and Rose." Eiko said as she waved her hand.
"Hi Beatrix." Vivi kindly said.
"Hi.Beatrix, Rose." Quina said.
Beatrix walked over towards Mikoto who was still holding Sarah in her arms.
"Oh..good day Beatrix..well I know what Sarah wants." Mikoto said as she put Sarah on top of the blanket she was sitting on.
"Oh..and so do I..Rose..here's your friend Sarah." Beatrix said as she softly put Rose down next to Sarah.
Both Sarah and Rose gazed upon each other as they slowly began crawling close to each other and giggling, the both sat up and kept touching each other's leg. The sight of these two playing with each other made everybody aaaaaaawwwwwwww at their friendship at an early age.
"They're the cutest things to ever see together." Garnet said watching her daughter play with Rose.
"Hmm..you know..I never thought I'd live to see a day where my daughter would be playing with yours Garnet." Beatrix said.
"Same here..Rose and Sarah..our daughters have a little way with each other." Zidane said.
"Yes they certainly do..they both liked each other on first sight." Mikoto said.
"When these two grow up..we all know they'll be the best of friends won't they?" Eiko asked.
"Yeah your right Eiko.they will be." Zidane said.
Elsewhere in Alexandria, another birthday party was going on in front of a huge two floor, 40 room mansion in the northwestern area of Alexandria. The birthday was of one Vicki Treacy who was going to be one years old in the next few days but was celebrating her party early. The guests consisted of family and friends which seemed to have a huge number of about thirty people along with the small one year old birthday girl herself.
"Amanda dear, your daughter looks soooo cute today." Tina the aunt of Vicki said as she kissed a half way opened eyed Vicki on the cheek.
"Tina..where's Sean?" Amanda asked.
"He said he had to pick up something he'll be back later."
"AMANDA!?" a voice from across the yard yelled out.
"Oh great..WHAT IS IT WILL!?" Amanda asked her husband Will.
"AREN'T WE SUPPOSE TO HAVE THE ENTERTAINERS HERE BY NOW!?"
".I TOLD YOU THEY'LL BE HERE AT 11 o' clock; IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE YET!"
".He can be so rude sometimes." Tina said.
"Yea I know what you mean." Amanda replied as she moved Vicki onto her other shoulder and rested her there.
"Well.I guess we could move on with the food now. Everybody is kind of waiting."
Amanda got up from her chair as she headed over to the large table along with yelling out "We're going to eat now!!!" Everybody began taking their seats as they began feasting on Pizza, Nachos, Salad, Hot Dogs, Burgers, and steak. Some people continued eating while a few came and visited the birthday girl.
"Oh Amanda.may I see Vicki's cute little face?" Sharon, who happened to be Vicki's godmother, asked.
"Oh sure Sharon, here she is." Amanda said as she handed Vicki to her loving godmother.
"Vicki you sweat little thing to your godmother." Sharon said as she grabbed Vicki and looked at her face to face. Sharon's eyes all of a sudden widened as she stared into Vicki's cold dark brown almost black eyes that almost showed no pupil in sight, fear struck her fast, so fast it was as fast a cheetah attacking it's prey with no sense of stopping for anything. The woman stood there speechless and in deep shock of what she was witnessing before her eyes, her mind was deep down lost in thought and was no way out.
"Sharon? Sharon!?" Are you ok!?" Amanda yelled as Sharon shook her head and blinked a few times.
"Oh.I'm fine..I'm sorry." Sharon said as she handed Vicki back to her mother.
"Sharon you look miserable..isn't it time for your aspirin?"
"Huh.oh yea I almost forgot."
Sharon walked away as Amanda stared at her a bit concerned along with Vicki who seemed to be giving a half opened eye look on her.
Inside the large mansion in one of the bathrooms, Sharon washed her face repeatedly, not evening stopping. She looked at herself in the mirror staring cold paled face look. "..I knew this day would come.."she said beginning to laugh a bit sadistically.
"She's..the one.hehe..she's..she's going to bring it...it's coming.I KNOW IT..THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY!!!!"
Sharon crazily ran out the bathroom door and began heading out towards a nearby room, while running along she grabbed a long 8 foot rope, she dashed through the door and looked around the room. Sharon laid eyes on the open window and slowly walked over to it and began rapping the rope around her neck.
Back outside in the back of the mansion everybody was still partying around in the yard when it came.
"VICKI!!!!" a voice yelled.
Everybody began looking all around and then made their attention towards Sharon.who was half way out the window with robe tied around her neck still, it seemed that nobody noticed the rope while she was still standing there, but in a sense Vicki look towards her godmother and watched with interested along with her whole family.
"..THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!!!" Sharon yelled out as she jumped out of the window and soon cocked back up and back down...and was hanging by the rope motionless with no signs of movement. It was then that Sharon had hung herself committing suicide. Everybody looked and gasped in terror, which soon led to screaming in terror.
Back at Central Park the group was about ready to leave for home when the sounds of sirens began wailing through as over seven police cars followed by an ambulance and finally a fire truck. ".What's all the commotion?" Garnet asked.
"Hmm, I don't know but this looks serious." Zidane said.
"They look like they're heading over towards the northern west section of Alexandria." Beatrix said.
"Do you think we should check it out?" Freya said with a concern look on her face.
"Hmm I don't know...but by the look of things it looks serious." Garnet said.
"But how will we get there? Zidane and I didn't drive, we walked and we have Sarah here."
"Why don't I drive you two? There's room for all three of you." Beatrix said as she held Rose in her arms.
"Alright we're all set then.we better hurry up and see what's happening." Zidane said as everybody began rushing for their cars.
There was a huge crowd overlooking the horrible incident that occurred at the mansion as the crowd was being told to move along by the police force. Soon Beatrix pulled up form behind the crowd as she stopped the car and turned off the engine. Garnet and Zidane got out first while Beatrix stayed behind looking after Rose and Sarah, Garnet rushed over passing through the crowd while Zidane got caught and stayed behind; she constantly pushed one by one out of the way and soon reached the front. "OKAY MOVE ALONG PEOPLE NOTHING TO SEE HERE." A female police officer yelled out. Garnet stared her attention towards the officer and brought to herself asking what was going on. "Um excuse me officer, I would like to know what's going on?" Garnet asked as the officer paid her attention towards Garnet.
"Oh.Ms. Garnet.I didn't notice you there..well.we received a call that someone here committed suicide during a birthday party by hanging them self by a rope and jumped off the second floor." The officer said.
"Oh that's horrible.do you know who it is?"
"I'm sorry but..I can't give away classified information."
"Oh its ok I just wanted to know what happened that's all."
Garnet began making her way towards Zidane feeling a bit uneasy.
"What happened?" Zidane asked.
"..Someone hung them self." Garnet said looking a bit down.
"Do they know who it was?"
'Yes but they wouldn't tell me."
"Oh well.but it's better than nothing."
Zidane took a quick glance at the horrible sight as he took a big notice a person on a stroller covered up on a blanket being rolled into an ambulance. "DAGGER LOOK!" Zidane yelled as he pointed to the stroller. Garnet looked over and saw the stroller making her cup her mouth in disbelief.
"Why would someone do such a thing.and on a birthday too?" she said.
"I don't know.....but I don't think I want to know more.lets go Dagger....we should worry about Sarah than this." Zidane said as he wrapped his left arm around Garnet's neck softly.
"Your right..lets leave before something worse happens."
Both Zidane and Garnet began making their way back to Beatrix's car..unaware that someone was watching them. The blue eyes of Tsunami who watched them head back, she shifted her attention towards the dreaded site making disgusted look on her.
".It has begun..."
