Reo: Hi all!
Kim: Welcome!
Reo: Kim? What are you doing here?
Kim: Hi Reo! Did you read my review?
Reo: Yes… I read your review…
Daniel: Hey! What's Oddball doing here?
Reo: Daniel, you're the last one to be calling anyone an Oddball.
Daniel: But her nickname's Kim the Oddball!
Kim: That is true Reo…
Reo: Fine! Call her whatever you want! But if you two interfere today... I swear…
Kim: Fine. We'll keep out of your way. Right Daniel?
Daniel: I ain't keeping any promises. Where's Jason?
Kim: I think he said he didn't want to be around us crackpots anymore.
Daniel: What! But I'm his best friend! How can he do this?
Kim: Just shut up Daniel so Reo can write her story.
Daniel: Fine.
Reo: Finally…
Well I'd like to thank all the people who pointed out that I spell Risa's name wrong. For you that don't know, I'm a horrible speller… so in future don't hesitate to annoy me about a spelling mistake! Hope you enjoy chapter 2!
Chapter 2- Is It A Trap?
Dark pivoted round the corner, looking both ways down the hall before breaking into a fast run. Normally there would be some pitiful attempt by the police to prevent him from stealing an artwork, but tonight there was nothing.
Hey Dark? You don't find this a little suspicious, do you?
Dark gave a small chuckle. Suspicious? I just think the Chief of Police is losing his touch, that's all.
But Hawitari saw me looking at that painting. Do you think he would just let us go in and take it when it's obvious we're gonna steal it?
You worry too much…
Even though Dark had said that he was concerned. Why hadn't Krad shown his face yet? Dark had sent his warning letter like old times, yet no one had turned up. It seemed that they had purposely lowered their security so Dark could steal the painting. Even though that was a reason to be suspicious, Dark didn't see a reason for him not to attempt to steal the picture. After all, Hawitari hadn't done an overall good job of trapping him so far.
As Dark moved swiftly down the hall he could see a small light illuminating the small room which contained the prized artwork. The soft glow from the room was alluring, which in some ways, increased Dark's suspicions. Perhaps this was one of Hawitari's poor attempts at a trap. As he moved further down the hall the room became clear to him, with the pale light on the wall overlooking the painting shimmering radiantly.
He walked up close to the painting, which contained the only light in the room hovering above it. Ever since they had seen that Satoshi's signature was on it Dark had grown even more anxious to steal it. Daisuke was curious, but he did really see a reason to steal this painting. He had told Dark previously, before he had sent out the warning letter, that it was a bad idea. The thought that it was a trap had come up so many times. But… as usual… Dark didn't care.
"I wondered when you would show your face." A figure behind them spoke. "I can't say that I was looking forward to seeing it…"
"Krad!" Dark said abruptly, turning around on the spot, "I had a feeling this would be a trap!"
"No… this is no trap Dark Mousy…" Krad said softly. "This time I'm asking you nicely not to steal this painting."
Dark let out a laugh. "You're kidding me, right? Not only do you expect me not to steal it, but you're 'asking me nicely'?
Krad didn't show the same smile which was protruding on Dark's face. Instead, he looked quite serious. For some reason the two of them just stood there for half a minute or so, just staring widely at each other.
"Well?" Dark asked. "Are you gonna try and stop me or not?"
"No, I'm not. But I was hoping you weren't stupid enough to try and steal that painting."
"Do you only care because your tamer painted it?" Dark asked, "Or is there another reason why I should take it?"
Krad just stared at Dark with a look of pure loathing and said nothing. Dark smirked and turned back to the painting, and unzipped his bag slowly.
You should warn him Krad-
I'm not warning him. It was your idea to come here in the first place, not mine. I don't care what happens to those two.
But I do! You can't let him do this!
Just watch me.
Krad watched as Dark went to pull the painting off the wall. Inside him was a screaming Satoshi, watching painfully, unable to do anything.
No you fools! DON'T TOUCH IT!
The last words seemed to burst out of Krad's mouth unwillingly. But at the same moment Dark had already grasped onto the painting, and was attempting to pull it off the wall.
NO!
The last word that Satoshi screamed before the blinding light shone into the room, enveloping the whole room.
Kim: Ohh! Cliffy!
Reo: Yeah… I suppose… did you like it?
Kim: I would if I knew who these people were.
Reo: I'll lend you my DVD of the show. How about it?
Kim: I'll have to watch it in the holidays though… I have too much work to do.
Reo: Yeah, same. I have that ag assignment due on Friday.
Kim: Ha ha! You're an Ag Fag!
Reo: Kim… you do ag too.
Kim: Oh yeah… oops…
Daniel: Hey! What did I miss?
Reo: Only the whole of the second chapter!
Daniel: Oops… sorry! Is Jase back yet?
Kim: Nope. Looks like you're stuck with me!
Daniel: Damn…
Okay then. What did you think of the second chapter? I know it wasn't that long, but like I said I've had work to do. Oh… and like I said before… tell me about my spelling mistakes! I don't mind if I have heaps and everyone bugs me about them! Till next time!
