Chapter 4: Rei, A Woman with Answers.
Heero sat in the maroon Intrepid staring at the paper. The Delter's house explosion had made headlines in the Tokyo Discover. Heero shook his head. He had no idea why everyone in that house had gone crazy. First they were scared but then they didn't care. It was weird. He sighed as he folded the paper and placed it in the passenger seat. Suddenly his phone rang. He answered it and Olivia's voice sounded.
" Heero! Heero! Oh God! Heero!"
" Olivia? What's wrong?" " Heero! My cousin! His mother! Oh God!"
" Olivia, calm down and talk. What happened?"
" Heero, you have to see my cousin! Please I beg you!"
Heero switched the phone to another ear as he turned on the car. He pulled out of an alley and headed to the main street.
" Olivia, breath. Now what happened? Also, tell me how to get to your cousin's house."
Olivia gave Heero no reason of why she wanted for Heero to go to her cousin's house. Instead of protesting, he went. So here he was, sitting in the driveway of Olivia's cousin Marcus. Heero got out and walked to the door. He rang the doorbell. The door opened and there stood a young black woman. She tried to smile but it was not genuine. " You must be Heero. Please come in. Olivia said you would be here. Thanks for coming."
Heero sat on the couch and the woman sat across from him in the loveseat. " It's just terrible Heero, just terrible. So horrible. By the way, my name is Madison." Heero nodded. Soon, Marcus stepped into the room. " Hello Heero." Said Marcus.
Marcus was a tall black man who was still in his youth of being an adult, probably in his late twenties to early thirties. Apparently, his mother adopted him and named him Olivia's cousin. Heero sat as Marcus explained his relationship to Olivia. He was born in the United States in Richmond, Virginia. His mother, dubbed Alice, took him to Japan to live since her husband Carl was transferred to his new job.
" Heero, I'm glad you came. I need someone to talk to. Someone who went through the same thing I did. You do know my father died in the crash, didn't you?"
Heero nodded. Carl Jefferson was coming back from a seminar from California. Marcus never had the chance to say goodbye. " Well, my mother did pretty well after he died. She had her up and down days. But a few weeks ago, my mother ran into a woman. She seemed to cheer mother up. Mother was so happy. She said that she knew that dad was all right. She said a picture was all it took. The picture was of dad's grave but it made her so happy. She carried it everywhere. Well, three days ago." Marcus trailed off. He put his head in his hands and sobbed. " Police got a call from a neighbor who said that they heard a gun shot. The police investigated and found that Alice had killed herself. But the strange thing was that she made breakfast. A full meal with a newspaper on the side with a glass of orange juice. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage, a small bowl of grits, orange juice, and a newspaper. A full breakfast. The police even found a tape. We watched it yesterday. Horrible." Madison finished. " We want you to watch it. Maybe you can help us. First, I need a drink. You?" Heero and Madison shook their heads. " Ok. Don't start the tape without me."
Madison sat silently on the loveseat. Heero personally didn't know what to say. But Naomi, she seems to be appearing everywhere. Everywhere he is and will be. It didn't frighten him, in fact, it inspired him to try and find this woman again. He couldn't wait for fate to bring him to her so he had to make a move.
Marcus came back. He sat next to Madison. He took the remote and pressed play. The tape switched on. The screen was in color of the background. It was a bright and sunny day or at least it was. The camera moved until it was perfect. Alice stepped in front of the camera. She examined it, nodded and walked away. She came back into view when she set a plate down. She pulled her robe tight around her body. She sat and ate. When she finished, she pushed the table out of the way. For the second time, she left the view. She came back with a noose and a long-blade knife. She reached to the table. A gun came into view. She smiled. She made sure that the camera was at the right angle. She stepped back into the screen. She angled the gun at her body and pulled the trigger. She shot her arm. She smiled. She didn't cry or scream, she smiled. She set the gun down and reached for the knife. She stabbed herself three times then dropped it. Alice turned to the tree behind her. She undressed. First went the robe then the bra then last. the panties. She folded each one carefully and set them on a chair. Alice climbed onto the stool under the noose. She turned to the camera, smiled and waved. She put the noose around her neck. She smiled once more before she kicked the stool out from under herself. The tape kept recording. It captured her body swinging till finally it stopped.
Heero grabbed for the remote. Madison was in hysterics. Marcus had not finished watching the tape. It was too hard. " We realized it was real when she took off her. panties." Said Marcus. It was too hard for Marcus.
Heero laid in his bed, one arm behind his head. He sighed. Such trouble. So much trouble. Heero's phone rang. He didn't want to get it but something in his mind told him to get it.
" Hello?" Heero asked into the phone. " Hello. My name is Rei Hino. You don't know me but I knew your wife. We were good friends."
" What do you want?" " I want to tell you something." Said Rei. " What is it."
" Not here. Not on the phone."
" Tell me now."
" Someone is listening to us. Meet me."
" Where?" " Cherry Hill drive. Out in the country. Take Okinawa freeway to I-96. Take a left. Don't be late."
Rei hung up. Heero had no choice but to trust her. He wanted answers and someone was going to give it to him through regular words unlike Naomi had done. He was going to get answers. " Finally."
Heero pulled into Rei's driveway. She came out to him and got in the car. Rei told Heero about herself, about her relationship with Serena and what she has found out.
" According to this, the California airport records, there was not a Serena Yuy registered. Nor was Felicia or Kaedence registered as a Yuy. They were registered as Clark. Naomi was the same. Naomi Clark. But in the death certificates, it said Serena Yuy. Now question. Why would Serena and the girls register under a false name? What was there to hide? Was someone after her?" Rei asked. " Where are we going?" Heero asked. " To the meadow." Rei replied. Heero stomped on the brake. " What! No! I'm taking you home then I'm going home. I went there once and I'm never setting foot there again!" Rei sighed. " I know. You went there right after you left the airport. You were sent there to take pictures and identify people were you not?" Heero stepped on the gas. He was going against everything he said he was not going to do. He never wanted to go to the meadow; that thought went to hell; he never wanted to go back to the Delter house; that was blown to pieces. " Listen. You know how many people were on that plane right?" Heero nodded.
" One hundred-fifty-seven." " Right, but, did you know that four bodies weren't accounted for." Heero frowned. Four missing.
" There is a ranch near by. Paradise Ranch. They are the ones who called about the crash. I went there just to investigate. Nothing unusual. I just had a feeling that told me to go and look around. It was like Serena was leading me to the ranch. They said they had a few visitors afterwards." Said Rei truthfully.
"Here, here is where the bulk of the plane was. Pieces were scattered all over the place." Heero said. He walked to a certain tree. The tree was not special to him but it was important. " This is where they were. Serena was here lying against the tree, leg broken, jaw fractured, arm dislocated. She looked better than the rest." Heero walked two feet away from the tree. " Kaedence was here, face down. She was burned, arm half off, both legs broken, hair burned short, clothes burned most the way off. Felicia was there.
Same as Kaedence; burned almost beyond recognition. I remember, I took the pictures, I saw them up close." Heero explained to Rei as he pointed a foot away from where he stood.
Heero's ears picked up a low rumbling. Rei heard it too. The rumbling came closer. Heero turned. " We were followed. But how, I didn't see anyone behind us." Black cars came skidding to a stop, blocking the trail of which Heero and Rei came through. Men in business suits jumped out of the car. Each man pulled out a car and began firing. Heero grabbed Rei's arm roughly. " Run!" he shouted to Rei. Heero and Rei bolted into the woods. As they ran, they could hear the men's rapid footsteps behind them. A helicopter trying to pinpoint their location followed gunshots and it didn't seem that they were holding back firepower. The helicopter began firing at them. Whoever was behind it had very good aim.
" Kill him. Don't let him get away. Heero Yuy must die. He can't find out anything. Also kill that bitch that's with him, she's given him to much information." The pilot looked at the man beside him. " But sir, he could be useful to us. She seems to contact him. Find him, you find Naomi. You also find her if you find Naomi. Heero Yuy is valuable to us." The brown haired man looked at the pilot. " Pilot." " Sir?" " Fly the damn plane." " Yes sir mister Treize."
The helicopter fired. Rei jerked forward. She screamed in pain. Rei tumbled to the ground. " Rei! Come on Rei get up." Heero said. He looked forward. " We're almost there. I can see the ranch. Get up, you can make it." Rei shook her head slowly. Her wounds were numerous and bleeding tremendously. " I won't make it, it hurts. Listen Heero; there is something about Serena that you don't know. She's very special. She's very different than you think. She is a project. She is a." Rei never got to finish her sentence.
Heero ran; he ran like hell. The ranch loomed in front of him; he was so close. The helicopter followed Heero to the edge of the tree line. It hovered, and then turned. Heero ran to the ranch gate, vaulted over it and ran to the door. Heero stopped to catch his breath. After a minute, he knocked on the door. A woman with gray hair answered the door. " Hello. Can I help you?"
"Well, this is a treat, a fine young man like you coming to see us. My name is Shizuka Murimoto." Shizuka smiled at Heero. " Are you hungry?" Heero shook his head. He was several things right now; tired, hurt, weary but defiantly not hungry. " Hatoma is tending to the horses outside. Great man he is."
" Excuse me Shizuka but last year there was a plane crash near your home.
Did anyone come here? Anyone at all?" Shizuka rubbed her chin. " Well come to think about it someone did." Heero looked up. " Who? Can you remember who?" Heero asked with urgency. " Sure, two women with two little girls. They looked like they were in a spot of trouble," Shizuka rubbed her chin, " the tallest woman was black, black hair down to her shoulders. The two little girls; the oldest had brown hair with light blue eyes. The youngest had blonde hair with dark eyes. They looked so tired."
Kaedence. Felicia. Shizuka described them just as he remembered them. Naomi. That was her that was with them. Now he had to know about the last woman looked like. Maybe, if only.
" The other woman, she looked like a small child. Long blonde hair in two buns on her head, she was curled up in the other woman's arms. She looked so small. She was very polite too. She didn't want to eat or talk. All she wanted was a newspaper. Every time a picture of that horrible crash came up, she would bust out in tears. She particularly cried when she saw a picture of. of you as a matter of fact. Did you know her?" Heero shook his head somewhat in an uncertain gesture. " Maybe."
Heero went home. The vans were gone. He had called the police about Rei's body in the country. He didn't tell his name. Heero wanted to rest and think. He needed to figure out things. Was Serena alive? What did Naomi have to do with this?"
Heero heard a knock on the door. He answered it but no one was there. He found a note instead. He tore it open as he closed the door with his leg. It read, " Throw this away when you're done. Tear it into pieces and flush it. Call this number. It is coded so look on a computer to find out the numbers. @)(-%#!& . Call now." Heero did as he was told. He picked up the phone.
" Hello." " Who are you?" " Who do you think I am?"
" I don't know." " Whom do I sound like?" " Um. Demi, Demi Moore." Heero didn't like playing games. If he had to name her, he might as well name her something stupid. " Ok. My name is Demi. What's your name?"
" Wallis. Wallis Blik."
