Yami and Yugi stood in front of Clover's open doorway with their jaws dropped. "Clover...Clover..I," Yami started to say but couldn't finish.
"What Yami means is.. well we are looking for somebody...they have been leaving things for Yami..they have killed some of our friends. We got another note saying that we have six hours to surrender and give them what they want or something terrible will happen," Yugi explained.
"And you think that person is me?" Clover asked appalled. "And you are thinking this partially because I am covered in blood right?"
Yami and Yugi both nodded.
"Well, you're wrong. I did nothing of the sort. I have your friends, but I wouldn't kill 'em," Clover paused. "I would pay somebody to do that for me".
Yami's eyes widened. Clover noticed. "I am kidding. You really need to get to know me better. I wouldn't hurt anyone," Clover replied at look on Yugi's face.
A relieved look came over Yugi's face, but Yami was still puzzled. "But, if you didn't do it, why are you covered in blood?" Yami asked.
"Oh that, my dog cut himself pretty bad. He is bleeding and I was trying to help him get to the vet. I just got back and I was going to go shower, when you came and asked me obscured questions," Clover replied simply.
"Oh, I am terribly sorry," Yami apologized.
"No problem, I don't mind. But, all I want to know is why you accuse me of all people," Clover said.
"Oh, well, um, we saw that you liked roses. The person leaving things loves roses too," Yugi said.
"I understand, would you like to come in or something?" Clover asked.
"Yes, just for a little bit," Yami said smiling.
Clover smiled and ushered them into her home. "My parents are archaeologists and they are on a dig. That is why they are not here".
"That's cool," Yugi complimented.
"Thanks, do you want something to drink?" Clover asked.
Suddenly the phone rang. Clover answered it. Then a scared face appeared on her face, which Yami answered.
Yami rand towards Clover. Clover hung the receiver back on the wall. She was shocked and scared. "Are you alright? Who was that?" Yami questioned.
"That was your killer, he knows you hear," Clover answered with a trembling voice.
"How can they know? What did they say?" Yugi asked.
"They must have followed you. They said that if I was hiding you, it wasn't going to work. Because they know where you are and they can take what you least want them to find. If I don't turn you over to them, I would become their new victim," Clover replied, tears welling in her eyes, which she blinked back.
"By the love of Ra! I don't want anybody else to get hurt, we'll go. Let them take us," Yami said.
"No, don't. They can't hear what we are saying, they told me as much. I'll go, and you go out the back door. Find what it is that they'll take. I'll make something up, GO!" Clover yelled to them. Warm tears ran down her cheeks, but her face remained strong.
"Are you sure?" Yami asked.
"GO! NOW!" Clover yelled in return.
Yami grabbed Yugi and pulled him with him as he headed for the back door.
When Yami and Yugi were safely out of the back door, Clover opened the front door. She stepped out into the sunlight. Three people cam rushing over to her, they were the killers.
"I see you have failed to bring me my prizes, now you shall be punished," a woman's voice said.
Clover looked scared, but she stayed strong. She didn't move, and she didn't intend to. If she ran, they would run her down, seeing as how they had two motorcycles.
"You are just a little girl," the woman said coming closer to a frightened Clover. "Crying, and not obeying me. You are worthless; you have failed to give me the one thing I asked for from you".
The woman's face was now just inches away from Clover's own face. Clover was suddenly no longer scared. She raised her head to stare into the cold eyes of the woman. They were deep brown. Clover suddenly spat at her, slapped her across the face and ducked. The duck was for the arm swinging at her face by one of the woman's bodyguards.
Clover began to run, where she was to go was up to fate to decide. Clover didn't look back, that would cause her to slow down. She saw a city bus at a bus stop. She ran to it and jumped on. She showed her bus pass and took a seat. The bus left the station, and began to move.
Clover looked out the window and saw the two bodyguards' motorcycles looking around for where she went. Ha, Clover thought to herself, breathing hard.
