IS IT TRUE THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?
Chapter 4
Amber opened the door to her apartment, same as usual, dark, cold, neat, clean, and very unwelcoming, she turned on the lights, only to find that she had been robbed. She quickly ran to her room and saw the open window, the willing curtains beckoned her to come over, and she did. There was blood on the edge of the window, there was obviously a struggle, but she was 10 levels high. Who could climb up here, and why?
Amber walked over to her phone, and saw that there was a message on the answering machine, she pushed play, "Hello, this is me and if you want to leave a message do it at the-beep," that was her voice, but then one she didn't know came on, "look, if you want to live you had better meet me in the alleyway of cherry and oak street at 9 p.m. or else." the message sent a chill down her spine, she was with Kaiba and had never heard the message, so the intruder had broken in, but how did he know where she lived?
Amber picked up the phone, the line was dead, she would have to go directly to the police.
~At The Hospital~
Kaiba wasn't doing to well himself, he had test after test, there was nothing evidently wrong with him, just a few broken bones, and with his kind of normal condition, he would be able to heal in about a week but for now he was stuck with this. He could really use some company right now, to tell him everything is ok, even though it wasn't.
~At The Police Station~
The door of the station burst open and a panting Amber was to be seen, she sniffed, she had on no coat, no scarf, no hat and no gloves, in the middle of winter.
"I was robbed," she blurted out which caught their attention
"Ok, miss, everything will be fine just give us your name and tell us what fully happened"
"Everything is not going to be ok," she said hopelessly
"Take a seat, and someone will be here with you."
Amber took a seat and patiently waited for someone to come. A police officer approached her.
"Joey!!!"
"Amber!?"
"Joey, what are you doing here?"
He pointed proudly at his badge, "I work here," a couple police officers looked at him, he cleared his throat and said in a very strict manner, which did NOT suit him, "so ma'am what are you here for."
Amber giggled, "Joey, is there something wrong?"
"Ah, yeesh, can't I do anything right, so why are ya here anyway?"
"My apartment got broken into, and I received a chilling phone message,"
"I see," he said rubbing his chin, "where were you at the time?"
"Ok, Joey, you're not going to like this but I don't want to lie to you, I was with Kaiba,"
"WHAT!!!!!!!! That sleezeball? Amber you know better, right?"
"Joey, look, he was hurt, he's in the hospital we can talk later ok?"
"Fine," he said reluctantly
"Anyway, the message said that if I want to live than I should meet them in the alley of cherry and oak street, I never heard it until I got home"
"Is that all?"
"No, when I was in my room this morning I saw blood on the edge of the window"
"Lets take a walk, go down to your apartment, you can tell me everything, and I DO mean everything"
They stepped outside the building, "Amber, did ya stay the whole night with him or sumthin'?"
She looked down, "yes, I-I fell asleep on the chair"
"I see, now you do remember, what he did to me, and you"
"Yes, Joey I remember"
~Flashback~
Joey and Amber were walking, laughing, talking and holding hands. You see, they were in love.
Kaiba came up to them, "Hey Wheeler, old buddy," he slapped him on the back, "What do you got here?" he pulled Amber toward him, at the time she had no idea of who he was and Joey had never cared to explain
"Get yer dirty hands offa her," Joey spat
Kaiba ignored him and pushed him to the ground, knocking him unconscious, "So what your name, beautiful?"
Amber gasped at what Kaiba had done, "Get your hands off of me, right NOW," she slapped him across the face
Kaiba touched his cheek, it was burning from pain, "is that any way to welcome me?"
~End flashback~
Kaiba had changed so much within the five years that followed after that day. Amber had asked Joey over and over about who he was and what had happened, she was new to Domino high, just transferred. She found out who he was later on, when his stock went soaring high
"Well, it isn't normal for someone to do that," Joey stated
"But Joey, he was hurt," she tried to explain
"I don't care if he hurt or not," he said stubbornly
"He was run over by a motorcycle, Joey,"
"Read my chapped lips, I don't care,"
"Joey, he's really changed, a lot, do you see the way he's so depressed? Mokuba died Joey, what if you were in his place? And Serenity died? Wouldn't you want someone to care?"
Joey grunted and continued to walk toward Amber's apartment. Joey and Amber had arguments like this all the time and Amber always won.
They arrived at Amber's apartment, "well this certainly is no tea party," Joey said blankly.
"Well no duh, I was robbed, hear me? ROBBED, R-O-B-B-E-D,"
"Firstly, it was just an expression, and secondly, this isn't a S-P-E-L-I-N- G B-E"
"Yes I know that, but how did you get this job, its S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G B-E- E," she said pressuring the last 'l' and 'e'
"Don't you think I know that?"
Amber shook her head slightly, "listen," she pushed the button on the answering machine and the same message came, it too sent a chill up Joey's spine. "Who do you think it was?"
"Well if I knew who it was, then I'd be out getting revenge,"
"Ok, forget I even asked,"
"Take a look at this," she pointed to the edge of the window
"I'll take a sample, and check who it belongs to, so I'll see you later," Joey walked out and headed for the station again.
Amber didn't really want to stay in her apartment, so she got in her red corvette and drove to Yugi's game shop.
The same familiar bell rang when Amber opened the door.
"Hello, may I- oh hello Amber," Yugi's grandfather said
"Is Yugi here?" Amber called out.
"Yes, he's in his room, why?"
"It's an emergency, I was robbed," she ran up the stairs and quickly opened his door, where she found him humming to a tune, and he looked up.
He blushed, he had a crush on Amber, "Amber!"
"Yugi," she said softly, "I was robbed, and the present you gave me, well it's gone too,"
He gasped, "Amber, look, it doesn't matter about the gift, but are you ok? Do you have a place to stay?"
"No, currently I don't have a place to live, but I have my corvette and some money to get a hotel," (A/N: Yugi is not a midget right now, he's tall like Yami)
"Amber, look you can stay with me,"
"Thank you Yugi, but your too generous, I can't accept your help, you've already done so much for me,"
"Oh I see," he said looking down, "you have a boyfriend and want to stay with him right?"
"No Yugi, it's not like that, its like taking money from a friend, I feel like I owe them so much,"
"Ok, but I would like you to stay, at least for dinner,"
"I would like that,"
RS: ok look I'm am very sorry to a certain reviewer, but the story will have to go on with romance, I'm terribly sorry about that, but there's a twist that you just might like...
Amber: oh and please review, it will give RS so much to look forward to, after a long stressful day of school!
RS: anyway, this is dedicated to a friend who I am really sorry to and hope they can forgive me, if they don't it's ok, I will carry on, thinking about the loss, but know that the world will go on
