Title: Look Out!
Chapter: Eight
Author: Icess
The door burst open and the last person Serena expected to see was standing there before them, "Mina! Oh my gosh! What are you doing here?" Serena exclaimed softly since she couldn't speak very well because of the pain she was in.
"I heard about you from Lita, she called me and told me that you needed me with you. I went to New York first because she didn't bother to tell me where you were. So… here I am, in Bangor." She finished in one breath. Mina Erickson was a blonde haired beauty of average height. When she and Serena were in high school, the teachers always mixed them up because they looked so much alike. Except that Serena was more golden blonde and sea blue eyes and Mina was bleach blonde and cornflower blue eyes. Other than that, they were identical. Since Mina decided to pursue her acting career in Los Angeles with her husband, who was also Darien's best friend, Andrew, they hadn't seen in each other in quite a while.
Darien stood up, and let Mina take the chair that he'd been occupying. She nodded her thanks and he smiled tightly. "So… Lita called you and told you?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just said that, didn't I?"
"Of course you did, I just wanted to make sure." Darien said in an odd voice. Mina gazed at him strangely and turned to Serena.
"How are you? Badly hurt?" Mina asked, tears in her eyes.
"I'm ok, I guess. The guy stabbed me, I don't think it was that deep, but we'll have to see what the doc says. The last thing I remember is that I thought I was going to die, it's the worst feeling in the world. I'm just glad that Darien opened the door in time." She gazed to him; his back was to her, waiting… tense. Almost as if he were seeing the killer outside.
"Darien found you? Wow… but…" Mina whispered, "How does he come into all of this?"
"I'm here to serve and protect Mina, I'm investigating the murders of all the women." Darien said, not in the mood for small talk.
"But, I would think that the FBI would handle something like this. Especially with how many crimes there were committed all in a row."
"Well, I tell you what. Serena has a bodyguard that is in the FBI that's as close to this case as their gonna get. I'm gonna catch the guy and kill him with my own hands." He said fiercely. Serena's jaw dropped and Mina's eyes widened to the size of saucers. After this was said, no one spoke for a long while. When they did talk, Serena and Mina mostly, it was small talk about how they had been doing since the last time they saw each other. And when Serena gazed into Mina's eyes, it looked as if Mina was hiding something from her. Something dark. Darien noticed it too, and he made it a point to find out what it was.
Later that night, while Serena was safely in her room supervised by police officers of Bangor, the figure smiled into the darkness. He wouldn't get caught. He was too smart for all of them, even that prick Darien. Mina wasn't a problem; he could get rid of her with the snap of his fingers. Now all he had to do was find a hospital security badge and get into the room when no one was there. Then he could finally reach his goal. Then he could finally go to the dark side.
