Author's Note: The fun has just begun! HEHEHE! This has been the most fun to write.
The psycho is revealed in this one. JOKING! You can't believe everything you read.
It's close to the ending, and I might do a sequel. Not sure, you people decide! Though there won't be a sequel if it is to be a happy ending, so depends on what I choose really.
Disclaimer: I don't own RK. I got this idea from PHONE BOOTH and SPEED. Though the other things that have nothing to do with the movies belong to me. If you've watched those movies, then the ending is going to be somewhat different. Don't yell at me if I decide to end it like the movies and the villain is... Well people who watched them know what I'm talking about.
On with the fic.
Chapter Three: The Psycho Revealed!?
Saitoh was growing impatient, and he wanted his coffee and aspirin. He was going to live on that from now on. The General took in another puff of his cigar. Today was becoming a chaotic mess.
"Sir, the jets have ascended," said Tae when she was radioed.
"Good. Have them get as close as possible, and make sure that they don't hit the plane. I'm sure that when that person will get suspicious if the nine start moving around when the impact hits them. This person has to be pretty smart if they can do all of this under our noses," said Saitoh seriously as he put out the bud.
"Yes sir," said Tae as she radioed the men on the jets.
"Where is my coffee?" yelled Saitoh, making Shishio hit his head on the under table and yell every curse word he knew at the General.
"I'm sure that coffee isn't going to help us in this situation," said Enishi as he adjusted his glasses.
Saitoh began his own string of curses.
~*~*~*~*~
Akira punched first, but Kenshin easily avoided it all.
He punched Akira square in the jaw while Tomoe screamed for them to stop.
"Silence! Or do you want to end it now? Why don't you choose who lives or dies?" asked Shadow.
Tomoe shook in fear and forced herself not to look at the scene before her. She didn't want any of them to die, even if she loved one of them.
Suddenly Kenshin's cell phone rang, as he looked at the cell Akira jumped on him. He luckily was able to avoid being hit in the face. Kenshin was hit in the stomach but the cell phone still rang.
"Get off him Akira! Answer the phone Himura," ordered Shadow.
Akira didn't get off, he kept hitting Kenshin blindly, but Kenshin was able to hit him in the shins and threw the man off of him.
Kenshin grabbed out the cell phone and answered it, but Akira charged at him again.
*Click*
Akira suddenly froze as he saw the red dot on his chest.
"Hello?" asked Kenshin trying to catch his breath.
"Mr. Himura. Do you have any idea who the person is? A name that he or she goes by?" asked a familiar voice, and Kenshin recognized it as that Kamiya cop.
"No. Shadow," said Kenshin in a mere whisper.
"You don't? Thank you for your information," said Kaoru and hung up.
The others were confused by what happened, but no one heard the conversation.
"Now who was that?" asked Shadow annoyed.
"Some person that got the wrong number," lied Kenshin as he looked at the box.
Shadow began to laugh.
"Really? Now why would Shadow be in a wrong number conversation?" asked Shadow.
Kenshin cursed under his breath, the guy or gal had the whole placed wired and could even hear his whisper, that wasn't a good thing.
"Why don't you two continue?" asked Shadow. They all practically saw the person grin.
"Please don't," said Tomoe as tears rolled down her cheeks.
They all looked at her.
"That's enough. Please stop fighting. Can't you see that that person is making us go against each other and trying to get us to kill each other? We need to stick together," said Tomoe letting her tears fall.
Kenshin glared at Akira, who was beside Tomoe and rocking her back and forth.
Just as Akira helped Tomoe on her old seat, Kenshin kicked him in the ribs toward Misao's feet, who screamed as she saw blood come out of his wounds.
"That's for hitting me unsuspected. It's a dog eat dog world you bastard," said Kenshin coldly as he spit out the blood that had come into his mouth from Akira's punches.
Tomoe only cried more into her hands.
Shadow laughed menacingly.
"Megumi, trade places with Himura. I don't think that Akira is going to need me to help end his pathetic life if you don't," said Shadow who was still laughing.
Kenshin took Megumi's place beside Misao, as she took his place beside Tomoe.
Being a doctor, she helped Akira who had crawled back over. Then she comforted Tomoe who was still letting all of her tears fall.
"Why don't I let you all talk it over for an hour or so? Mhuahahahaha!" Shadow's voice box clicked off.
They all fell silent.
~*~*~*~*~
Kaoru hung up her cell phone, at least she now knew that the person called him or herself Shadow.
She had rushed to the clinic to get a large bottle of aspirin, and was now going into the lounge to see what was keeping Shura so long.
As she opened the door, the smell of popcorn filled the air. She saw Kamatari, another officer eating it, as Shura stood bent over the coffee maker as she pocketed her cell phone.
"What took you so long?" asked Kaoru curiously.
Shura turned around with the coffee mug in her hands. She smiled at Kaoru.
"I had to make a phone call," said Shura as she walked by.
Kaoru looked after her as she made another cup of coffee just in case. Though she had to notice the popcorn smell. Shura must have eaten some with Kamatari who was reading a newspaper.
She mixed sugar with the coffee and then raced out to try and catch up with Shura.
Just as she ran to the elevator, she saw Shura with a grin as the doors closed in her face. She said a few incoherent words as she waited for the next elevator.
~*~*~*~*~
"I think that I'm going to be next," said Sano with a groan.
"Why don't you just tell us all now so that when she makes you answer her, we won't hate you as much, though I won't promise that I won't hurt you if it's something major," said Yumi.
"Thanks, that makes me feel so much better," said Sano sarcastically at her.
"You're welcome," said Yumi with a grin.
Sano only rolled his eyes.
"We must not hurt each other any more. We're all best friends. We've been through so much," said Megumi.
"Were friends," corrected Kenshin coldly as he glared at Akira and Tomoe who wouldn't meet his golden gaze.
"The last time I checked, friends don't betray friends, let alone brothers," said Aoshi darkly.
Soujiro bowed his head from his dark glare.
"From now on you're a Seta and I'm a Shinomori," stated Aoshi as he looked away, making his brother cringe.
They all fell silent again.
"Why so quiet?" asked that cold and menacing voice.
"Why do you like tormenting us? What have we ever done to you? Do you want money, fame, power? We can give it to you, just please ...please stop," said Misao begging.
"How about a million dollars per person?" asked Shadow.
"Deal! Just let us get off this plane and get our money," said Sano happily.
Shadow only laughed.
"Do you really think that I need any of that? I've got the power here, the fame will come soon enough once I allow those pathetic army members get into the conversation. They'll most likely make this public, but if they won't, then I'll just have the Press come down and demand that they know what's happening. I'm sure that one of the nosy officers have already begun to talk about the plane going off course.
"The Press will think that it's another September 11, and demand that they, as citizens in the U.S., know what's going on as well. Wanting the public to calm down and be reassured, the President will have no other choice but to publicize our conversation. Then it will be broadcasted all of over the world, and those of you that have yet to answer will have the whole world know.
"Though I won't allow them to cut through if you cooperate correctly," said Shadow.
"But don't you want money?" asked Yumi hopefully.
Shadow laughed ringed through their ears like church bells.
"Once I sell this video tape to the public, then I'll make more money than any of you have ever have ever in your whole life, in just one day," stated Shadow.
Megumi bit her lower lip.
"Do you need more time to think about what you're going to do? If you come out with all of your sins, then I'll let you all go home free. None of you talk about me, and I promise that you'll never see or hear from me again. Though, if you squeal, then I'll make you squeal like a pig," threatened Shadow.
The others all fell silent at this.
"I'm glad that you all understand. Now I'm going back to work, be good. I advise you take care of all your business now, or you might never get a chance to again. Tootles," said Shadow and the voice box clicked.
"I think that we should just all confess now," said Misao.
"It's the only way," said Megumi.
"Easy for you to say kitsune, you're not the one that's going to get shunned by everyone else. You're the good one, remember?" mocked Sano a bit disgusted.
"Just because you have a secret life, doesn't mean that you have the right to yell at me buster," said Megumi angrily.
"Stop arguing! We can't go against each other. This is a time when we need to work together. There has to be a way for us to get out of here," said Misao; she was on the urge of screaming now.
"There is no way out that's the problem Miss Peace," said Sano.
"You know what? You need to stop being such a bitch, you know that? We don't need your insults rooster head. Now is the time to work together as a team. As the team we made. We created H.M.R., so I think that if we work together, we can create a way out of this mess," said Megumi.
They all fell silent, and knew that they had no other choice. The only one not depressed was Kenshin.
"What are you smiling about Himura?" asked Yumi.
Kenshin took out his cell phone and began to throw it in the air with one hand and catching it.
The others looked confused at him.
"Our cell phones works, and mine can go straight to the army," mouthed Kenshin.
Aoshi caught it and grinned as the others looked on confused.
"If you want us to get out of here, then you all have to distract Shadow. I'm going to let someone hear us, so make sure that you keep what you want heard in," said Kenshin.
"To live, you must sacrifice," added Aoshi, as he saw Yumi and Sano get angry. They were the only two left to tell a story.
The two glared at him but nodded.
Kenshin took out his cell phone and placed back on his jacket. He placed the top part of his coat to his arms, so that it would cover the cell phone. Then he dialed the three magic numbers. He just hoped that the Army had enough brains to know what he was trying to do.
~*~*~*~*~
"It's about time you got back," said Saitoh as Shura came in with the coffee.
She rolled her eyes and stood next to Tae who was getting transmissions.
"Where's Kaoru?" asked Yahiko.
"She's coming," said Shura annoyed.
As if on cue, Kaoru walked in with the aspirin and her other cup of coffee.
She gave Saitoh the coffee, and gave Shishio an aspirin. The man seemed to have needed the whole bottle.
"I talked to Himura again, he says that the person doing all this goes by Shadow. Though I haven't noticed anyone go by that name before," said Kaoru.
"Shadow," said Saitoh in deep thought.
"Maybe if I talked to that person, it'll be easier," said Enishi.
"You're a psychologist and this person is obviously a psycho, but I don't think that the person would really listen to a cell phone and think that it's telling the truth," said Saitoh.
before Enishi could resent upon that, Tae spoke up.
"It's Himura," mouthed Tae silently to the General as she gave the cell to him.
Saitoh was about to talk into the phone when he heard Himura speaking.
"I think that we should all keep quiet and listen to Shadow, he or she might do something to all of us and I'm sure that the Press knows that we've gone off course and want to ask questions, so the Army is going to save us," said Kenshin in a voice that meant that Saitoh was to only listen or something might happen.
"What are you doing?" asked Shura; none of the others knew.
"Silence. Shishio, try to locate where that voice box is connected to. Shura, I want you to go with Cho and stop the rumors of the plane going in the wrong direction. Say that it was a minor flaw in the engine," said Saitoh.
Shura looked confused, but left to do her job.
"What should I do?" asked Kaoru, she really wanted to help.
"Go back to my office and get my files on other maniacs that have done this thing before. You know where it is, that's your category. I want to know if there's a way to get that bomb off without that psycho know what we're up to and blow up the plane," said Saitoh as he covered the bottom of the phone so that his conversation couldn't be heard on the other line, he wasn't going to risk anything on that Shadow character. For all he knew, that person could be trying to see what's going on now and trying to listen, or is listening.
Kaoru nodded and left. She stopped before she got to the door and threw another bottle of aspirin at Saitoh with a wink before rushing off to the elevator.
Saitoh signaled to Enishi and Tae to listen on in, and made Yahiko go fetch Kamatari and bring up as many coffee cups and doughnuts that they could get. It was going to be a long day.
~*~*~*~*~
"Ready to confide?" asked Shadow smugly.
"Why must we confess if you already know our sins?" asked Sano.
"I know, but I'm sure your partners would like to know. Why don't you begin Mr. Sagara, since you seem to have the biggest mouth here?" asked Shadow.
Sano didn't say anything.
*Click*
"Don't make me kill you," threatened Shadow, and they all knew that it wasn't a hollow lie.
"How did you get that gun to work from where you're at?" asked Megumi a bit loudly, they had to make sure that who ever that person that was listening was, knew what do expect.
"It's called technology. Now answer Sagara," said Shadow coldly.
"First answer my question," said Sano; he knew his life was on the line but he had to save the others or at least die knowing that he tried to do something.
"What?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm where I am."
"If you're going to kill us, and I have a feeling that's what you're going to do to us after you get all the truths and confessions from us. When we're dead, it will only cost more," said Sano; his courage growing.
"True."
"Then why don't you satisfy our curiosity, and allow us to know who our killer is, and where you're from. Or at least where you are now. I wish to die in peace," said Megumi.
"Yes, and the others die with a clear conscience. Though I'm sure that Mr. Himura and Shinomori won't die so happily, I'm sure you two want to do more damage, no?"
"though I'm willing to leave since I'll meet him in hell and finish it there. But I won't go unless I know the genius that made this fool-proof plan," said Kenshin.
"Fine. I'm in New York, and I'm sure that the Army must be trying their best to help you, but it'll take those idiots 24 hours before they figure out that one of their own is doing all this. HAHAHAHAHA! You can't rely on those numb skulls too much. But by then, you'll all be dead," said Shadow with a menacing laugh.
"What's your name?" asked Soujiro anxiously.
~*~*~*~*~
Saitoh was boiling mad, who did this jerk think he or she was. He screamed at Enishi to send for all of the cops on campus and see who's not working. That person was going to have a life long sentence in jail and he was going to make sure of it.
~*~*~*~*~
"You really want to know what my name is?" asked Shadow.
They all nodded.
"I'll give you a hint, you've all seen me before."
"So you are that Shura girl," yelled Sano.
Shadow only laughed menacingly.
~*~*~*~*~
"So that's why she's been so weird today. Bring her back, and let's just hope that she hasn't done anything to Cho," said Saitoh out loud and made everyone else on the plane hear.
~*~*~*~*~
"The Army is going to find you. You better start running. Let us down on the ground smoothly and we'll make sure that you don't get executed," said Akira.
Shadow seemed to have vanished, for she wasn't talking.
"She probably ran off! How are we suppose to get off the plane? We're going to crash once the fuel runs out," said Yumi in panic, she didn't want to die yet.
They all stood up and looked around for parachutes, but they should have known that there weren't any.
"Shit! How do we get out of this one?" asked Sanosuke desperately looking at Kenshin.
"I don't know," said Kenshin; he'd never felt so helpless before.
~*~*~*~*~
A/N: The end is near! HAHAHA! Well next time a lot is going to happen, though I'm not sure that I'll update next Saturday on this. I really want people to read this, and plus I like the suspense. Then again, I want to have people suffer with me, since school is sucking a lot out of me. Though I'm not going to let it suck my fun. Cruel fun, but still.
