Act 3: The Fall
Ingrid walked slowly down the hall, the last thing she ever wanted to do was walk into the safety patrol room again. She didn't want to work with Anza, sure she liked him as a friend, but she didn't really know him, not as well as she knew Fillmore. She looked up at her locker, the first thing she wanted to do was see if that person had done anything else. Opening it carefully she peered in, only a picture this time, it was a picture of a bird, she was unsure of what kind though this was because it was a silhouette of a bird. It was in flight and under it was some more writing "I'm free now to get my revenge." She placed it in an evidence bag; she would have to give her findings to Fillmore today. Her heart dropped, nothing seemed to matter, and she couldn't understand why it felt like her heart hurt so much.
She opened the door and looked up; Fillmore and Wayne were looking over some more files. Looking at the pile she hadn't realized how many cases Fillmore and she had accomplished. She went to Fillmore and paused in front of him.
"Fillmore, yesterday after I left I saw the perp that was going into my locker" she said looking away from him, she still couldn't face him without the pain returning.
"Why didn't you call for back-up? Wayne and I could have helped you out!" he said angrily. Ingrid looked at him "Because I can handle myself! Do you think that I'm some sort of push over? I can solve this case too you know, it IS affecting me!" she snapped back.
"That's why Wayne and I are on this case, because this perp is after you! Why are you acting so odd? Can't you just accept some help for once in your life?! You are always so distant from everyone, were trying to help you! So stop acting so selfish…" He stopped and looked at her surprised by his words "Ingrid I-I'm sorry, I didn't."
"No your completely right Fillmore, I'm selfish, no wonder you don't want me around…You know what?" She pulled off her sash and threw it in his face "I quit" she said walking quickly out of the room.
She sat in a tree hugging her knees and tried to force herself not to cry, but the tears came anyways. Her body shook as she let loose and began to sob, everything had gone wrong, and she knew that now she had lost Fillmore for good. The pain in her heart came back ten fold making her cry more, why did it matter so much? She had lived alone before she could do it again, but this was different, she felt like she was losing a part of herself. She wiped her nose and looked up the clock on the school that told her that she had missed most of her classes, but she didn't care, nothing seemed to matter anymore.
Slowly she climbed down from the tree and walked to her locker. Someone was there waiting, she looked up expecting Fillmore with more apologies maybe, but it wasn't him it was Leggett. She walked up to him "Are you on guard duty or something?" She asked bitterly.
"No I was waiting for you…Fillmore really hurt you feelings huh?" Ingrid looked down; she didn't have to tell him anything. "That's what I thought" he continued "Ingrid I know that some of this is due to my return."
"Most of it is due to your return" she said but then looked at him "I'm sorry." He nodded seeming unaffected by her words.
"Ingrid, Fillmore is really upset that you quit, I've never seen him so distressed, ever. I waited here for you because I wanted to tell you that I can't replace you, you have become Fillmore's world and it is breaking his heart that you're so angry at him."
"Well he kept on pushing me aside, what did he expect? That I wouldn't care? And if he really does care as much as you say he does why isn't he here telling me this?" She said opening her locker, for the first time this week there was no message, probably because Wayne had been here. She grabbed her books and slammed her locker closed and turned to Wayne "Have a great afternoon" she said with fake cheeriness. Wayne looked sad for a moment.
"This isn't how I wanted things to go…I just meant to push you two in the right direction…"
"Save your "talks" for someone else" she said walking off.
Ingrid walked out of the school building and onto the field; she didn't want to head home right away so she walked towards the orchard. She looked ahead and noticed the Red Robin headquarters, well, it wasn't theirs anymore. Ingrid thought then about Malika, she had been so upset when Ingrid had betrayed her, now she knew how it must have felt for her. She realized she had stopped walking and looked around, something felt weird, suddenly a whole bunch of apples began rolling down the hill, heading straight for her!
Ingrid began to run; she saw an opening and took it diving out of the way of the stampeding apples. She turned around to see who had done it but no one was there. She got up and noticed that she was close by to the building site of the new basketball court. There were holes dug all around revealing pipes, they had tried to build the court before but in the process they had burst one of the water pipes. Now they had to dig around to find out where all of them were located. She walked slowly across to avoid slipping on the mud and falling into one of the deep pits. She heard a twig snap behind her and she spun around and came face to face with a masked kid, she gasped in fright.
"Why Ingrid, so nice to see you again…When you're so alone, I'm glad that things aren't going well for you." Said the person, the voice sounded muffled by the mask but Ingrid heard the words spoken and began to think of a way to escape, but all around her were the dug out pits. Sweat began to bead down her head and she went to grab her talkie when she remembered that she had quit the safety patrol. The person laughed at her and began to walk forward.
"Ingrid I told you to watch you're back, but you didn't listen to me did you? Hm oh well it's your own fault then, for this" the figure pushed her. The ground slipped under her and she felt the light wind as she fell down farther and farther, for the first time in Ingrid's life she screamed.
