"what? why?" he cried, pulling on his orange converse with one hand and running down stairs still holding the phone "I-I don't know!" she cried. Stuart could tell she was now crying. "J-just get over here now!" she sobbed. "Okay. I'll get there as soon as I can" He ran out his bedroom door and pelted out the front door. it was raining again. and he hadnt bothered to grab a jacket or anything Stuart dashed down the street, his vision was slurred by the rain, and it fell hard onto him, causing his hairto stick to hisface"dammit" he grummbled, but he kept running and eventually he found andrea sitting in the rain outside the school gates. "andrea?" he asked looking down on her She looked up at him. "H-hi Stu." she stuttered, shivvering as the ice-cold rain came down on her, drentching her clothes. When they finally reached Murdoc's house, Stuart banged on the door, nobody answered. He knocked harder"hes not there!" andrea cried, burying her head in her hands "im gunna keep trying" stuart replyed, banging on the door harder still Someone answered after a while, but it wasn't who they were hoping to see."stupid kids waddya want!" jacob growled, obviously not recognising andrea and stuart from the hospital.. they both looked at eachother, not knowing what to say
"Uhhhh...we're...uhhhh..." Stuart thought for an explanation
"to tell the truth" andrea paused "we're looking for murdoc" she muttered, Jacob smirked. Not a smile, a smirk. Stuart and Andrea exchanged worried glances."i ent seen him" he replyed "how do we know that? you could have him gagged and drown him for all we know" stuart objected, "nope. but thanks, thats a good idea kid" andrea sighed with exasperation "then you wont mind if we come and look around" Jacob's smirk faded. He opened the door a bit wider. Andrea and Stuart stared up at him questioningly"Go on then get in!" he growled, closing the door behind them, stuart felt it in his gut, something had happened. he wondered if this was a good idea The house was more of an apartment. There was a small living room, a kitchen and some stairs which most likely led to bedrooms. Stuart looked around at the somewhat messy place and walked a bit quicker. "hes not here is he?" andrea muttered, looking around "you said he told you he was comming back, so he has to be here somewhere" stuart explained, kicking aside a few empty beer cans. the apartments smelt of beer and niccoteene. stuart contiuned to look around, they came to a closet, the floor infront of the closet and closet door was stained with blood, stuart couldnt figure if it was fresh or from a few years back Jacob soon noticed them staring at the blood. He placed a hand firmly on both of their shoulders and pulled them away. "That's just where we killed a few...rats..." "Thats alot of blood for a few rats mr niccals, now, why dont you tell the truth before we call the police" andrea threatened. Jacob knew the police had been round before, the neighbours had been complaning at all the noise and banging. jacob slumped into a chair and glared at andrea and stuart "you'll get nightmares" he smirked, like they were a couple of kids Jacob glared at her for a while. His daring eyes were like darts. they made Andrea shivver slightly, but she firmly held the cell phone. "How about you start with telling us what happened to murdocs mother" Andrea asked, lowering the phone "she ent here" Jacob replied bluntly "but why?" stuart asked "She's...out of town." he answered after a while of thought. Andrea raised one eyebrow suspiciously. Stuart looked over at the blood stained door and flinched a bit "When will she be back then?" stuart asked "what is this? the Spanish inquisition? I don't fucking know when or if she's even coming back!" Jacob growled "she's not coming back...is she? she's not even alive" stuart muttered, finally realizing what the blood meant Jacob growled a bit in his throat then sighed. "Well, is she!" Andrea snapped after a while of an erie silence in the room
"Ok...maybe she is. but didnt do it!" he retorted "yes you did, and now your gunna kill murdoc because hes the only other person who knows you did it!" stuart explained, Jacob stood up from the chair he was sitting on and towered over Stuart. Stuart gulped as Jacob casted a shadow over him. "Look boy, maybe I did kill her...Maybe I did kill her RIGHT IN THAT SPOT-" Jacob pointed a finger to the blood stained closet, "But a little bastard like YOU-" he took a step towards Stuart, "shouldn't even know about what I did! that night!" "dont touch him!" andrea cried, pulling out her cell again, she dialed the number and hovered her finger above the green phone button "not another word, or movement" she muttered, glaring at Jacob Jacob sneered at Andrea's threat. "You know, if I just go ahead and STAB tha boy," Jacob pulled out a razor sharp, blood stained dagger, "right now, he'd be DEAD before tha police even show up!" he raised it into the air. Stuart's eyes widened and he stared in horror. "Now, if you press that button, I'll end his life right here." "What are you doing?" Murdocs voice came from the doorway, he was staring at jacob holding to dagger to stuart. "i told you he wasnt dead" jacob grinned, backing away from stuart "we were just talking" he smirked, a certain air of sinisterness in his voice "thats not what it looked like" murdoc muttered Jacob glared at his 'son' for a long time. A creepy smirk crossed his mouth. He slightly hid the dagger, although that wouldn't do much good for him. "Where have you been?" jacob asked, fakeing a sweet tone of voice " nowhere, not that you care anyway" murdoc growled, walking away from jacob "but, im just concerned" he smirked, murdoc shook his head, he looked at andrea and stuart "i thought i said not to come here" he sighed Stuart was still a bit tramatized from the whole close to death experience. His face was a bit pale, but after a few seconds, he regained his normal skin tone. "We...uhhhh... "we came looking for you" andrea explained, taking stuarts hand for comfort "we were worried, you said were comming back here" Murdoc remained still for a while. Jacob finally spoke. "Well, ya saw...Murdoc. You two can leave." he opened the door and held it open for Andrea and Stuart. "But what..." andrea looked at murdoc, she felt stupid., she couldnt leave him with jacob "Ill.. be fine, just go, and dont..worry" he muttered. turning away from the door
"But what..." andrea looked at murdoc, she felt stupid., she couldnt leave him with jacob "Ill.. be fine, just go, and dont..worry" he muttered. turning away from the door
Jacob gestured for the two 'guests' to leave. "Well, you heard the boy, he's fine." Jacob's eye twitched slightly in irratation. He just wanted them gone. He was plannig on killing Murdoc...tonight.
"if your sure.." stuart muttered, following andrea out the door. "what now?" she asked, as soon as they were outside and the door shut behind them "i...dont know" he sighed, walking off down the road
Andrea watched him as he walked away. "So, that's it? You're just going to give up?" she yelled. Stuart looked over his shoulder. "there's nothing else to do..." he then began to walk again. Andrea stared after him, she soon noticed that the sky was darkened and realized a storm was on its way. Sure enough, down came the rain.
