Chapter 21: Stalked
____________________________
Everyone split up, deciding it'd be better to not get to close to getting involved in the accident. It was only good that no one was seriously hurt.
"And yet, there is still no sign of the owner of the P.K Company which Paul owned." Was the thing that ran all over Paul's mind. His last name had been always kept a secret and only one person new it. Soon Paul would be tracked down like a serious criminal.
Daniel sighed, fearing the worst. A sinister plan beat them down.
Daniel suddenly heard footsteps. He noticed no one else was in his area. He turned around but no one was there, he then continued walking.
It was scary. Nothing like this had ever happened in Domino and surely something worse would happen. Daniel wanted to know Paul's history since when he was a child but he always kept his life a secret. He thought about calling Paul up and having a personal talk but old simple Paul would deny and end up snapping at him. He reached for his small cell phone and dialed Allen's cell.
Allen answered. "Yeah?" Allen answered. Suddenly he heard some kind of high pitched whistling. "Gah!" Daniel yelled dropping his cell phone to the ground. There was a short cut on his finger and he looked at it. He then looked where the whistling came from, it was a needle. He looked up to see if there was anyone on the buildings but a dark figure looking down at him.
The figure grabbed onto the pole and slid down onto the ground. It was a young adult, about 19 and with black hair. He had a band around his head and wore a red shirt and blue jeans.
"I suspect you know something about Paul" He smirked.
"How would you know" Daniel hissed.
"Records, it's a joy having to know a duelist, Mr. King of Games" The guy smirked. Daniel noticed the guy had a Steel Plate on.
"Bounty Hunter, so who hired you" Daniel said.
"What do you care, I'm only here to get what I deserve" The guy smirked.
"Then I advise you start running" A voice said from behind. He turned around and saw Mink infront of him. Mink held her Millennium Rod up and unsheathed it, revealing a dagger. "People like you annoy me and especially when one of my friends are involved, they won't like me"
"Heh, a simple girl... Oh what's this? A Duel Disk" The guy smirked.
"Don't toy with me" Mink growled.
"Yeah, I've heard of you. The Secondary Queen of Games. What a simple pathetic fool" The guy smirked.
"That's it" Mink snapped raising the dagger up.
"No Mink, stop" Daniel said.
"We can't get into trouble ourselves, we'll just have to show our way in" Daniel said.
"What do you mean?!" The guy smirked.
"Paul is our friend, we believe he didn't planted those bombs there. And we won't let him be arrested for something he didn't do" Daniel said as he turned his Steel Plate on. "I challenge you..."
"Me? No I refuse." I have better things to do then waist my time with you simple idiots. He smirked.
"Then what do you want with us?" Daniel said.
"I want information.... And I'll be forced to do anything to get it" The guy growled, grabbing Daniel by the shirt.
"Force this!" Mink yelled as he Millennium Rod started to glow. Suddenly a giant orb of yellow light burst out from her item at the person, pushing him over Daniel and onto the ground. "Whoa!"
"What'd you do?!" Daniel said in shock.
"I-I didn't mean to put much power into it!" Mink said, worried.
"You're really buying my patience!" The person growled getting up. Suddenly there was a small beep. He grabbed his cell phone and answered. "Yeah?!"
The person's face calmed down and turned the phone off. "What's wrong...." Mink thought.
"Well it looks like I'll be seeing you two later. Ta ta for now" He smirked. He ran into the alley and Mink and Daniel looked down and he was gone.
Allen sat at a bench, looking through his deck. He looked at his Grand Geralian. It confused him to what the meaning of the card was, and why it was here, and why it was created. There was no other legend about Duel Monsters that involved this card.
Suddenly within a split second the card disappeared from his hand. "What the?!" Allen said out loud standing up.
"Heh what kind of card is this? Grand Grrr-rrallll" A person said ontop of a tree.
"Hey! Give that back!" Allen yelled from the ground.
"Why should I? It's a pretty cool card. Although it doesn't show the attack or defense points, it doesn't even have an effect! But it has cool colors" The guy chuckled.
"You don't even know how to use it!" Allen yelled.
"Fine take it" The buy growled throwing it to the ground. Allen picked it up, put it in his deck, and put his deck into his pocket. The guy then jumped down from the tree. Allen cringed at his poor body odor and took a step back. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's you, I was sitting here peacefully when you all of the sudden barged it!" Allen complained.
"Well sorry, Mr. Yoga-Man" The guy smirked.
"Be quiet Mr. Intensified Body Odor" Allen insulted.
"Shut up you freak. I may be a duelist but I have what it takes to bring you onto your knees" The guy threatened.
"What makes you so sure" Allen smirked.
"Because I'm bigger than you!" The guy snapped.
Allen looked up, he was taller than him. "For a big person, he sure does have a small brain" Allen mumbled.
"So, Allen, what does it feel like to be friends with a criminal" He smirked, crossing his arms.
"Wha?" He said.
"You know who I'm talking about. 50 bucks and 10 other rare cards says you know a thing or two" The guy said looking over him.
"Bounty Hunter... That's what you are" Allen hissed taking a step back, getting ready for anything he throws at him.
"Heh, so you finally figured it out. But even anyone knows something. But you're the main man. You beat him in DOMA Challenge" He said.
"I don't have to tell you anything. I know he didn't set those bombs off!" Allen said.
"But what makes you so sure? Maybe he's putting you in a trap, wanting to take your rare and valuable cards" The guy said, obviously trying to bribe him.
"You know what, I have no time for this. If you're against me, I consider you an enemy" Allen said walking off.
The person got angry and showed it with yelling "Coward! You can't hide the truth of what you know"
"Like I care" Allen thought in his mind.
Suddenly the person's cell phone rang. He picked it up, hearing a voice. He then smiled and ran off.
Back in the Hamikai High School, the two men Daniel, Mink, and Allen met earlier lined up infront of the mysterious woman. Along with two girls.
"I've hired you all as my bounty hunters. I'll be improving all your decks but promise me one thing..." She went on. "You must use these cards, if you do not, you won't be receiving anything but pain"
She threw 4 cards at them, the Orichalcos Seal. They all looked at them. "What do they do..." One of the girls asked.
"Try them out and see, you'll be very pleased of what they can do" The woman smiled. "With these, you can't lose, for sure"
The woman then excused them off and the four left the room. As they left Aeo said next to the door. The guy that met Allen whistled at Aeo. "Cram it baka" She hissed, shoving his face out of hers. "Take a bath!"
"Honey, you'll need to treat our new guests with respect" Stagg said next to her.
"Why, they shouldn't be here. Why is it our problem to take him down. He's not as guilty as he looks" Aeo complained.
"What makes you so sure that he didn't cause this chaos?" Stagg asked.
"I don't believe Paul. Just Daniel. He seems confident. I think he knows the right answers" Aeo sort of smiled but her father hissed at it. He then stomped off down the hall.
