WHITE TEARS OF A FALLEN HUNTER: chapter 2

I am the light
Subtle, bright
I may show you your way
I may guide you
Yet I can mislead you
Blind you.

California sat behind the wheel and turned around to face the pale BladeBreakers. "God, guys, I am so glad you came out untouched. That's rare. The Stormhawks are usually more violent than that."

Already color was returning to Max's face. "Yeah? Well I'm happy we got lucky. Right guys?"

She could swear she heard their team leader 'humph'.

Detective Whitt smiled. "So you guys Beyblade?"

"Yeah. We're professionals!" boasted Tyson. Kai rolled his eyes.

"Sure you are. I've heard a lot about the BeyBreakers. I Beyblade myself. Our team is kinda new so hardly anyone knows about it. We're called The Dragonites. It's an all-girl team."

As she said this, California looked at the guy with blue hair and blue 'stripes'. He seemed preoccupied and had not said a thing.

"Really?" asked Kenny. The sound of Dizzi's keyboard filled the car. "It says here you've only taken part in two recognized competitions. But you managed to come out 2nd and 3rd."

"Well, as I said, we're rather new." She smiled again. She felt so much safer far away from the darkened alleys in that part of New York. "So. you're Tyson. Kenny. Max. Rei and. Kai?"

Kai didn't answer the question which had been directed to him so Rei did. "Yeah. You sure know some stuff about us, don't you?"

They continued chatting lightheartedly until Kai's voice rose over theirs' for the first time.

"Tell me. About these Stormhawks." He asked. It sounded more like an order to California.

"Well. They're a gang which is involved in quite a number of illegal activities. Smuggling, theft, abduction and murder to name a few. Worst gang there is, according to some."

"Boy, they do sound bad!" exclaimed Max. "Murder?"

"What do you know about them?" Kai questioned again.

"Uhh. That's about it."

"WHAT?! They've committed so many goddamn crimes and all you know about them is the fact that. they have committed so many goddamn crimes?!" he exploded.

"Hey. Info doesen't fall out of the sky you know. Especially when all the witnesses are. dead." California snapped back, a lump forming in her throat. Her brother had been one of them.

Kai 'humphed' again, but Cali was sure that this time his 'humph' was quieter, more thoughtful.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped liked that. You're right you know. I should have gotten more stuff on them by now. It's just that. well, I just told you that all the witnesses were killed. You're the only ones who survived so far. I don't know what's gotten into them."

Although she tried to smile, Kai noticed the tears she was holding back. Oh damn. What had he said? For some reason he wanted to apologize to California. However habit made him hide any feelings he tried to show, and he fought the strange feeling down.

His thoughts turned back on Kylie the Stormhawk.
