A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to madmaddy for being the first reviewer to my last chapter. I would also like to give special thanks to DarkPrincessKate, Anywien, and nikki007 for being dedicated reviewers and reviewing to every chapter so far. I'm sorry for it taking so long for me to update, but I've had to deal with projects in school, details about my birthday party, a psychotic boyfriend (Well, not psychotic. He just acts like it sometimes), my six-month anniversary for me and my boyfriend, and I had writers' block. I knew where I wanted the story to go, but I really couldn't figure out how to get there. –CeeCeeCaffeine: If you're reading this, then that's awesome. I just wanted to let you know that you should review and tell me your ideas because I truly have no idea where I'm going with this story.
madmaddy: Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate it.
Zelina: Really? I have a future as a writer. I've never heard that one before. Thanks so much.
moovalous3: I'll let you decide whether the FBI is doing her any good in those regards. It's your decision. Thanks so much for the review.
nikki007: Um, Rob cheated on Jess when Jess came over to tell him she was pregnant. That might jog your memory. Thanks for the review.
kittykatangel518: I don't go on MCBC. I think that if people want to write a story, then they should post it on FanFiction. That's just my opinion though.
DarkPrincessKate: You changed your name? When I go to do the ending thanks in my stories I'll have to put Acidic-Lover as well as your new name if you don't mind. But if you think that the only reason that Jess didn't hurt Karen Sue was because Jess was holding Kat then that's your opinion. I'm not saying if it's right or wrong.
Anywien: Yeah, Todd and Karen Sue might be a little gross, but whatever. Your family is from Ukraine? That's cool. I have a friend from Romania. But I don't know anyone from Ukraine, with the exception of you of course.
neostar: Thanks so much for the review. I don't like bringing in new characters because new characters can cloud your judgment of the original ones. But that's just me.
Someday
Ryan Clayborne Issues
The next day we all spent catching up on the jet lag. It was easier for me and Nina considering we are always going all over the country for work anyway. But, for rest of the Ackerman family, it wasn't too good for them.
We ended up getting bored watching TV. I mean, who would want to watch TV for hours while everyone else was sleeping. So instead of sitting around becoming couch-potatoes, we got on my bike and took a ride.
We were sitting down at Chicks' when we got a call from our superiors telling us to go about an hour away to check out our assignment. We went back to the motel and took the van. Now, I don't like vans. I never have. I would much rather be driving my bike on the highway with no one around and miles to go where I can go as fast as I want. But, Nina was having nothing of it. There was no way she was driving that long on my bike. Which happened to be bad for me because I had to drive a van.
The place where we had to go was in a shabby town that my parents would never even allow us to enter. At one point we were on vacation and went through this town, but they wouldn't allow us to stop and go to the bathroom and get some snacks even though we really needed to stop. The town looked like one of those towns that you would see on the movies. You know, the old shabby towns that nobody goes near almost like it has the plague. That was this town.
We stopped at the house that our superiors gave us over the phone. We were here to investigate a man named Ryan Clayborne for using psychic powers to steal from jewelry and money from stores. The normal police force would have taken over the case, but here were two reasons why we got the case. Number one: He had psychic powers, we don't know how many and we don't know what it/ they are and number two: he kidnapped, and killed the last officer that had been assigned to his case. That didn't look to good for us though.
"Hello, Ryan Clayborne? My name is Jess Mastriani and this is my partner Suze de Silva and we're with the FBI. Can you let us in?" Nina and I take turns when we go up to someone's house. She did it last time, so it was my turn this time.
We saw an eye in the peephole as he looked at our badges. We then heard about five different locks being undone before he finally opened the door. He had a high pitched and squeaky voice we noticed as he said, "What can I do for you ladies?" He invited us into his house and we were reluctant to go in, the smell of liquor and urine was high in the room. The décor wasn't all that great either. There were stains over everything and the furniture looked like it was picked up out of the trash. It was kind of pitiful in a way. That someone would actually live like that, I mean.
"We're here to ask you about your involvement in the murder of Lucy Storms. You know, the state police officer who was put on your case about the kidnappings?"
"I-I didn't have anything to do with that." He was visibly shaking. Stature wise, Ryan Clayborne was only about five and a half feet tall and he was a puny wimp muscle wise.
Nina talked before I could, "That's not what the proof says. There are sworn statements as well as forensic proof that you murdered her."
He sat down and put his head in his hands. I didn't know what he was doing and my hand was reaching more towards my gun every second until I heard a sob and saw his whole body shaking.
"I-I'm sorry. I never wanted anyone to get hurt. I didn't kill her though. She did. She didn't want the police to get involved in our business. She did everything. I'm just the psychic." He was talking so fast and unsteadily that it was hard to understand what he was saying.
Nina kneeled down in front of him and said, "Who is she? Who set you up?"
He gave a terrified gasp and pointed towards the door. I turned around and had my gun drawn before Nina even stood up. The woman was about five foot eight and, in my opinion, very beautiful. She had a gun pointed right at me as well though and that's what made me nervous.
"Put the gun down."
She gave a little laugh and said, "I don't think so." She cocked her gun and shot it. Before I knew what had happened, the woman was lying on the floor, if you could call it that, and Nina was calling an ambulance. I still had my gun in my hand, but I slowly put it back in the holster and went over to where Ryan Clayborne was shaking. "We need to talk."
Nina talked to the police and the paramedics before joining our conversation, but by the time that she joined us we were finished talking. Evidently Ryan, or R.J. as he liked to be called, had psychic powers as well. He actually had a rare form of telekinesis in which he could instead of moving things with his mind; he could move people's brain cells and practically anything in the brain of his victim. He was trying to control his power when Margie, the woman, found him and used him for her own personal escapades. Or, in other words, she used him to steal jewelry and money and kidnap people.
We finished talking and told him he would be safe, but he had to contact Cyrus Krantz in order to have some decent training, but we would go see him at some point before we left to make sure he would be fine.
And then we drove another hour back, but there was something that happened to me that I never noticed until later that night…
A.N.: So, how did you like it? I know, you guys are mad at me for not updating in so long, right? I'm sorry about that again. But please review and I might not take so long to update.
Just a thought before you review: What DID happen to Jess? You'll find out if you give me good reviews.
For readers of my other story, Loose Ends: I am very upset. I only got a few reviews for that chapter. I'm not updating until I get some more. Especially considering I only have three more chapters for it.
