Another day, another chapter.
I'm sorry about keeping anyone who is actually bothered in my story waiting for the next chapter.

The young girl was held firmly, her hands tied behind her back, tears fell down her cheeks as she saw the man bring a weight up to her, and secured it to her back.
The river was deep and cold, it's surface undisturbed, all birds and fish were gone, there had been Cyanide poisoning a year ago and, despite several attempts, the sea life could not be replaced.
As if she cared, the man that had taken her, shoved her into a car, and driven her to this river, the fast flowing river, now stopped, looking her full in the face for the first time, the girl was surprised, he looked only twenty, at the oldest, there was a conclusion in his dark eyes that the girl didn't like, and there was a scar along his cheek, he looked as though he'd had a tough time himself lately.
The guy dropped his head and sighed, before taking her to the edge of the river.
"Why?" She asked suddenly, her voice choked with emotion.
The man simply shook his head, and made sure the weight was fastened to her fully, when the check was over, he came up to her side.
"Goodbye." He muttered, and forced her off the side, her screams were somehow stoppered, her body hit the water like steel, she cringed, and felt herself go under.
Her deep blue eyes watched the coloured surface of the water move away, it swirled with green and red, mixed with blue, the girl held her gathered breath, knowing inside that she would never taste fresh air again, as the surface went out of her view, the seriousness of her need for air became more and more demanding.
She felt her vision fade, her mind slipped, not able to concentrate.
Finally, her desperate body forced her to breathe in, water flooded into her lungs, leaving no air at all in her body, her lungs burned and her consciousness began to leave.
Suddenly, strong arms yanked her up, but it was too late, her consciousness left, leaving her form to go limp.
The strong arms belonged to a red-haired guy who swam her to the surface.
"What happened to the person that pushed her in?" Asked the man as soon as he reached the air again, he gasped then pulled himself up on the shore.
"He went before I had a chance of getting after him, what about her?" A deep brown haired man asked worriedly, frowning.
"I don't know." The red haired guy (what the heck, Gordon) leaned over her limp form, he quickly looked more urgent and tried artificial respiration, but to no avail, she was dead, a small ghost of a smile on her face.
Virgil sighed, coming over to his standing brother's side, they had seen the man pushing the girl into the river, and had come straight over, the man who had done it had escaped, all the information they had was that he drove a white Mercedes.
Virgil slung an arm around his brother's neck "Don't beat yourself up, Gordo," He encouraged "It wasn't your fault."
Gordon shook his head and knelt to lift the body of the girl up, she was feather light, sodden black hair down her back, head tilted backwards.
"We should have been faster." Gordon muttered darkly, Virgil looked closer at the drowned girl, she was deathly pale and had black hair, she was quite pretty, if you liked that sort of thing.
"Why are you so upset?" Virgil asked, before realizing it was a stupid question, he was holding a murdered girl, probably a reason to be upset.
Though Gordon looked over-upset, he looked up from staring at the girl, he looked as though he was about to cry.
"It's Amy." He murmured, Virgil instantly got the picture, Amy was an old girlfriend of Gordon's, they had only split up because of Gordon's sudden and unexplained removal to Tracy island, Amy had been an aquanaut with him (note: was Gordon in W.A.S.P?) And had seen the hydrofoil accident which had almost cost Gordon his life (I'm starting to sink into Sooty mode now).
Gordon had tried on many an occasion to get in touch with her, wanting their relationship to continue, if she felt the same way, he'd never know (oh, damn, I'm there, goodbye, sanity).
"C'mon, we'd better report this to the police." Virgil steered Gordon away towards the road, and towards the police station.

A nice, short chapter to bug you all.
I will not resort to previews, do not despair.
I apologise for falling into Sooty mode, I don't know what got into me.
Latest news from the guild of village idiots, I hate politicians, people who smoke, I love, phoenixes, people who review (hint!) And people who give me presents.
Acutally, don't review, I want to do the next chapter and I know this one is pretty crap o_o
