Chapter 5
I grinned, running to the door at the sound a few knocks, expecting it to be Koichi. When I opened the large wood door, I was surprised to see the man with the black hat looking back at me.
"Jigen" I said, smiling. "Hey. What's up"
"I'm sorry." He said immediately.
"For what? What's wrong"
"There was a fight with security on the ship. I told Pops to get out of the way, but he wouldn't listen to me. I tried my hardest to keep him out of it, but I accidentally shot him, and he fell over board." Jigen took off his hat. "I'm sorry, Ari. We looked everywhere for him, but we couldn't find him. The ocean carried him off to an early grave…"
"You killed him" I asked in shock, taking a step back. "How could you"
"It was an accident, Ari"
"You don't accidentally shoot the cop that's trying to arrest you! You're a good enough shot to miss him! And yet, it seems to be the target you hit. Do you intentionally try to hurt me" I was hysterical, tears rolling down my face. "How many other guards did you kill"
"None" he said under his breath.
"How many was that"
"None, Ari, he's the only one. But I swear, if I knew you were gonna react like this, I wouldn't have done it. At first, I wanted him back, because I didn't want you to be sad. But then I realized that if he were gone, you might want to come home. And I want you home. We miss you, Ari. We miss you tremendously, so come home to us."
"You think I'm going to go home with a murderer? You're absurd" I slammed the door in his face, leaning up against it before sliding down to the floor, sobbing in my hands.
"Subari, open the door" He yelled.
"No! Go away, you murderer! How dare you kill him, then come back here and try to get me with you! It's inexcusable"
I heard him sigh loudly, then walk slowly off, already on her cell phone. "Yeah, I told her, and she's not taking it so well."
