~A New Life~
~Chapter Ten: A Mysterious Attack~
"Good morning dear." Cloy said, watching Kyoji enter the kitchen, with his pants finally on. Cloy was reading the paper for any new leads in the case about her mother. Joshua was setting next to her at the table and complaining about last night.
"C'mon, I know that you and Kyoji were making out. Why couldn't I watch?" Joshua said as he ate his cereal.
"First of all, I don't need mom coming down on my head about letting you watch adults make out. And second of all, we didn't make out really. Just foreplay, that's it." Cloy explained.
"But your not an adult yet Cloy. And what's Foreplay?" Joshua asked looking up from his cereal.
Cloy sighed in frustration and said "I am 18, about to turn 19 so yeah, I am an adult, legally. And Foreplay is when a man or a woman sort of touches another man or woman."
"Oh, you mean like how friends touch?" Josh asked.
"Why hasn't mom told you anything about this? I mean, it should be her having this conversation with you." Cloy asked.
"She's been too busy at the office and all. Been trying to contact you, and work on new experiments for curing DG Cells." Josh replied.
Cloy sighed and was about to try to continue when Kyoji hand pressed on her shoulder. "Foreplay is when a boyfriend and girlfriend kiss, touch and all sorts of other things, but it doesn't include sex." Kyoji said, finishing the conversation. After that, Josh got the idea of what it was and didn't ask anymore questions.
Cloy was surprised that Kyoji could shut her brother up like that. But she just said "Ok Joshua, time for School. I'll drive you there and then pick you up ok buddy."
"WOW! You mean all my friends gets to see your cool car?" Josh asked.
"Yep, now let's get going so you're not late." She said, hustling him out the door with his backpack and everything.
Kyoji just decided to get a shirt on and got one of his button up shirts, but knowing that Cloy would be back soon, he just let it hang open as he got something to eat. He heard Cloy's car start and watched it, though the window, drive off. He sat down at the table and started reading some of the paper as his food cooked. He had more going then he needed for Cloy when she got back. He could tell that she hadn't eaten yet, she just got Joshua ready and out the door.
Kyoji just relaxed in the chair and closed his eyes. "Hmm, it's so much quieter here then where I lived. Maybe I should think about living here with Cloy." As Kyoji started daydreaming about what could have gone on last night in bed, he didn't hear something slipping between the front door, and the doorframe. Then he didn't hear the click of the lock opening and then the door squeak open.
A head poked in, covered in black. "I could have sworn that this is where the boss said Cloy lived." It said. The mask lifted up and a guy walked into the flat. He looked over to see Kyoji setting in the chair. He couldn't have a witness if he were to find Cloy. So he picked up a near by lamp base and snuck up on Kyoji. Once he hit him in the head, Kyoji fell to the floor, unconscious.
The guy proceeded to drag Kyoji into the living room, tie his hands behind him, and blind fold him. Kyoji was loosing a lot of blood at the moment, but the intruder did nothing to stop the bleeding. He just went in search of his target. That is when he heard the door open. He looked back and saw Cloy coming home. He couldn't have her find him and not have the upper hand on her, so he went to the nearest window and jumped out to the ground.
"Oh my god Kyoji!" Cloy said as she ran to his side, she grabbed a piece of cloth and stopped the bleeding from his head. She took his blindfold off and untied his hands.
"Oh, what happened?" Kyoji moaned as Cloy helped him up and over to the sofa.
"I don't know, I just got home." Cloy replied as she whipped away most of the blood on his head.
"I think someone knocked me out." He said, squinting his eyes to adjust to the light.
"Who could possibly do that, I was gone and there's no one else here." Cloy said in a worried tone. "I'll get some ice for your head. There might be some swelling."
Kyoji nodded as she got up and went to her freezer. She came back and put the ice on his forehead, where the gash was, and asked "are you sure you don't remember anything?"
"Well, I remember seeing this guy leaning over me, tying my hands and putting the blindfold on me, but that's all I remember, at that time I past out." Kyoji said as he let Cloy look at the gash in his head.
"Well, looks like you need a few stitches in this, but other then that it should be fine." Cloy said setting on the sofa, right beside him.
"Is Josh at school?" Kyoji asked.
"Yeah, just got back from taking him." Cloy replied
"Good, cause I think that guy is still around here somewhere." Kyoji said, looking around a little.
"Ok, I'll go take a look around just to see if he is." Cloy said "While I get the things to take care of your gash."
"Be careful honey. It might have been you he was after." Kyoji said setting up on his elbows.
Cloy walked back over to his side and said "Don't worry; I think I can handle anything." She smiled after kissing his forehead, readjusting the ice on Kyoji's forehead, and then went to take a look around the apartment.
About five minuets latter she came back. "No one around here, but I saw one of the windows open in our room, I think he may have gotten out though there." She said setting back next to Kyoji. She had gotten the stitches and linen necessary to fix up Kyoji's gash.
"Ok, but how did someone get in, the doors were locked and everything." Kyoji said putting his hands over his face.
"Trust me, they have ways." Cloy replied. "Now lean back, I'll start stitching up your gash." Kyoji leaned his head back and Cloy started stitching up his gash, after holding the needle under a flame for a moment. Before long she had it stitched up and was wrapping some gauze around his head when the phone rang.
Cloy picked it up and said hello. The person on the other line said "Yes, Mrs. O'Conall?"
"No, this is Miss O'Conall. My mother… Cannot be reached at this time." Cloy said, in a professional tone.
"Well, you are related to Joshua O'Conall correct." The person, who sounded like a principle on the other line, said.
"Yes, unfortunately, what did he do now?" Cloy asked. Kyoji looked up at her in confusion. Cloy waved him off saying, "I'll tell you later."
"Well, it's not what he has done per say." The person replied.
"Ok, what happened" Cloy asked, sounding more concerned.
"Well, we believe he has ether left the campus without adult supervision, or some one has… Abducted him." The person replied.
Before anymore words were said, Cloy dropped the phone, thinking about the latter happening. Kyoji sat up, grasped her shoulders, and asked "What is it, what's wrong?"
"They think Joshua has been abducted." She said, staring striate ahead.
"What how?" Kyoji asked. He couldn't get anything from her after that. He picked up the phone and asked "How do you know this?"
"Who is this, what happened to Miss O'Conall?" The principle asked.
"This is her husband, and you can call her Mrs. Kasshu. Now what happened?" Kyoji said
"Well, we saw Mrs. Kasshu drop him off at school today, but he didn't report to class as scheduled. Something happened." The principle replied.
"Fine, we'll be there in a few minuets." Kyoji said, and hung up the phone.
"Why did you lie, we aren't married yet." Cloy asked
"Yeah, but they don't know that." Kyoji replied, "Now come on, we have to go find your little brother." He said pulling her up with him. When he stood he had a sudden rush of blood to his head and it made him dizzy. Cloy had him lean on her till the dizzy spell wore off.
They went out to the car and Cloy started it right before Kyoji got in. They headed to the school but heard something scratching in the trunk. "What is that?" Kyoji asked. Cloy shrugged her shoulders and pulled over. They both got out and Cloy unlocked the trunk. And inside they found Joshua. With a slight contusion to his head.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY TRUNK?" Cloy asked, almost loosing her cool, "We were worried sick about you. The school thinks that you have been abducted."
"Well I almost was." Josh said setting up and taking his backpack off. "Right before you left, some guy grabbed me and I head butted him, that's how I got this. Then I was able to make it into your trunk to get away from him."
"Well, thank god that you are safe. Was it the same guy that attacked mom?" Cloy asked, picking her brother up and setting him down on the ground.
"Yeah it was. That's why I was so afraid to go to school today." Josh said. He went around getting into the back seat while Cloy closed the trunk and got in. She got her cell phone from between the seats and called the school.
"Thank you for telling us Mrs. Kasshu." The secretary said after Cloy had told her what happened. "I'll just go a head and put him down as absent today."
"Thank you, and don't worry, he's with me. If you could, gather up his homework and send it by my flat. You do know where it is right?" Cloy asked.
"AWWWW MAN! I don't even get to take a sick day right." Joshua wined in the back seat.
"Yeah that's right; you need to keep up with your school work buddy." Cloy said as she waited for the secretary to answer.
"Yes we know right where you are, and I have all his homework here with me. I'll send it by soon. Will you be home?" the secretary asked
"No, I'll be at the Scotland yard station. Just tell who ever will drop it off, just to slip it under the door." Cloy replied.
"Oh, just because he skipped school doesn't mean you have to take him down to the jail house Mrs. Kasshu." The secretary said in concern.
"Don't worry; it's not cause of that. It's because Josh saw who took our mom and we're taking him down to give a description." Cloy explained
"Ok good, you were going to give me a heart attack there for a moment." The secretary said letting out a gasp of breath.
"Ok thank you Mrs. Stevens and he'll see you on Monday." Cloy said then hung up the phone.
"This isn't fair, I should be able to lie around all day" Joshua wined.
"Yeah well, life isn't fair, that's they way it is." Cloy said starting up the car and starting off in the opposite direction.
"Do you think it's possible that the same guy that attacked me, Cloy, tried to get your brother?" Kyoji asked.
"To tell the truth, I really don't know." Cloy said. Once they got to the Scotland Yard station, they got in, and went to the desk. The head officer there told them to go around to one of the interview rooms and wait. "Thanks O'Haira" Cloy said over her shoulder.
"No problem Hon, do anything for you and your mom." He said as he watched them walk back toward the rooms. As Cloy was about to open the door she ran into some one.
"Oh, excuse me." She said, but when she looked up, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Long time no see, Cloy." A man in a green tie and white shirt said.
