Chapter Eight: When Fallen Angels Plan Your Day
April finally finished moving all of her stuff over at about three o'clock in the morning. Exhausted, she fell onto the couch that she had the movers carelessly throw into the living room. April closed her eyes and wondered when Tala would be showing up. He had said, the last time she had brought a load of boxes over, that he was going to his house to get something and that he would be back before she did. Well obviously he wasn't.
There was a knock on the door and April jumped up, thinking that it was Tala. April grabbed the doorknob and unlocked it, flinging it open, only wondering for a second why Tala wouldn't just open the door by himself.
The person that greeted April at the door was most definitely NOT Tala.
"Hello April." Julian Larson, one of the company's newest clients said, greeting April.
"Um, hello Julian. What are you doing here? It's three o'clock in the morning. Surely any business you might have can wait until the morning. And if it can't, just leave a message at the office." With that April moved to close the door.
Julian stuck his foot in the door, preventing April from closing the door. "Oh, I think that this is too important to just leave a messsage at the office." Julian grabbed a gun out of his pocket and aimed it at April's temple.
April stared at the gun, wide-eyed. "Um, Julian? I don't think that this is the right response to whatever we did to insult you. I'm sure if you contact my brother he will find a better way to compensate you." April swallowed. "After all, you're not the murdering type."
Julian glared at April. "Oh? And how would you know? Now back up slowly and let me into your apartment. Any funny business and you can say goodbye to your life. Hear me?"
April closed her eyes, trying to gain her composure. She re-opened them and backed up slowly, staring intently in the eyes of the craze lunatic who was currently holding a gun to her.
"Good girl." Julian said appraisingly. "That's it." He motioned to the couch. "Go on, sit down."
April did so, still watching Julian. "Why are you doing this? Why?" April was ashamed to find herself sobbing.
Julian smiled, noticing April's reaction. "Why that's fairly simple April, for the money." Julian shook his head. "You see, if your boyfriend had just let me get shot, I would have had been able to sue Kai for poor security and it would have been simple. But now I have to resort to other things because Tala had to jump in the way and ruin it." Julian looked at April and smirked. "Which is why I'm going to use you for the ransom money instead of your grandfather which I had orginally planned. That way I get my money and get back at Tala all at the same time."
April swallowed hard and then, in the distance, heard a car pulling into the parking lot. More than she had ever wished before, April hoped that it was Tala's car. Tala would know how to get her out of this, this was his job. He had to deal with this sort of thing all the time.
Julian walked backwards to the door, the gun still pointed at April's head and roughly pulled a table in front of the door. "Your boyfriend tries to break in, after he gets past this, I'll already be ready in position to shoot you." Julian smirked. "Don't worry April, if your brother and boyfriend cooperate, you won't even get a scratch." Julian's smirk grew. "But if your brother and boyfriend don't, well then, you won't be around to worry about it."

"You can't keep me out." Crystal exclaimed, her voice sounding more distant than Lolli thought it should. "No you can't. Not a chance in the world you can keep me away from my Rei."
Suddenly the window shattered, pieces of glass flying all over the place and Lolli screamed again, only aware of the body climbing through the newly cut window.
Lolli backed away from the window in instinct. Then she realized what was going on and quickly jumped up. "Get out of my house!" Lolli exclaimed and hoped that someone from the security team had seen that and would get here fast. "You don't belong with Rei, I do. He's my boyfriend, not yours."
Crystal grinned almost evilly. "Oh, that's where you're wrong Lolli. He is mine." Crystal lunged on top of Lolli and grabbed her hair. "This is what you get for ruining my Rei." Crystal punched Lolli in the stomach, making Lolli gasp for air. "This is what you get for carrying his baby." Crystal punched Lolli somewhere else and Lolli went dizzy. "And this is what you get for standing there all beautiful, acting like you're not doing something wrong." Crystal brought her fist up, aimed this time for her head. Lolli could do nothing more than try to shrink away.
"Don't touch her." Lolli almost fainted in joy at the sound of Rei's voice and she opened her eyes to see Rei standing behind Crystal, his hand currently holding Crystal's, keeping her from hitting Lolli.
"Rei." His name was merely a whisper on Lolli's lips as she looked up at him, barely believing that he could have such good timing.
"Lolli, are you alright?" Rei asked, talking to her but not looking at her but instead into the eyes of Crystal, glaring at her with such emotion that Lolli was almost afraid.
"I'm fine, Rei, really." Lolli said. "Just get her out of here, please?"
Rei nodded and pulled Crystal up, off of Lolli. He started to drag her to the door when Crystal decided she would have none of this, even if it was Rei Kon, the guy she currently had the biggest crush in the world on. "Just a second." Crystal grabbed her hand back from Rei. "You're choosing her, that little witch over me?" Crystal grabbed Rei's hands and held them close to her, and continued in a pleading voice. "But I love you, I would die for you. I would do anything that you asked me to do."
Rei looked at her, pondering and Lolli almost wanted to burst into tears. "Really? You would do anything I asked you to?" When Crystal nodded, Rei smiled and then grabbed his hands away. "THEN GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Crystal looked at Rei, shocked, her eyes wide and her face filled with the same emotion that Lolli had felt just a few moments ago. "What do you mean by that Rei? Don't you love me?"
Rei moved closer to Crystal and looked up at Crystal, glaring at her. "No."
Crystal glared back and then turned her attention to Lolli. "You brainwashed him, didn't you. You made him think that he didn't love me anymore. You made him think that he fell in love with you, didn't you." Crystal smirked. "Well then, I will just remove you, than your brainwashing will have no effect on him and then he'll thank me for this." Crystal wasted no more time and pounced on Lolli, holding her by the throat.

The phone rang at about four o'clock in the morning and Kai yawned, reached over and picked it up. "Hello?"
"It's Bob Weasley, from the security team over in the apartment building three blocks away, umm, where your sister just moved into."
"Yes, yes, yes. That's lovely, can't this wait until morning?"
The male gulped. "Well sir, the thing is, your sister is being held at gunpoint at the moment and the gunman said he would only speak with you."
That got Kai up out of bed. "Shit, I'll be right there." Kai hung up the phone and ran to his dresser and quickly slipped on the first suitable things to wear that he could find.
"Where are you going?" Shanna asked, as she sleepily pushed herself up on her elbow. "It's four in the morning Kai, you can't be leaving me at this hour."
Kai looked at Shanna as he pulled on the right leg of his pants. "I have to go." Kai hopped around, trying to put his leg in. "April's being held at gunpoint and I gotta go."
Shanna sat upright in her bed and stared at Kai. "What do you mean April's being held at gunpoint. You're not going!"
Kai looked over at Shanna. "What do you mean I'm not going. I need to go, I'm not going to wait around while April gets killed."
Shanna got up and grabbed her own things to wear. "Of course you're not going to let April get killed." Shanna pulled on a shirt. "But you're also not going without me."
Kai smirked and pressed a kiss to Shanna's forehead. "I should have known."
Shanna smiled and grabbed a skirt and ran out of the room as she pulled it on. "Come on, the gunman isn't going to wait just because you want to have a romantic moment." Shanna stuck her head back in the doorway. "Later on the other hand-"
Kai smiled and followed Shanna out the door. "Later."
