Chapter 9: Rumours Spread
Third Person POVRei and Kai were sitting quietly in a corner of the bar. They had looked everywhere for Hilary and had found not sight or sound of her. No room had been left un-searched and no stone unturned, they had rung her room countless times, but there was no answer and when they had gone to check it was locked and no sound came from within. And her cell phone was going straight to voice mail.
So now here they sat.
Rei was constantly shifting in his seat, as if at any moment he might jump to his feet and run out of the room. His slender fingers constantly flexed and curled around the neck of the beer bottle he held. He was unable to sit still as the tension rose in him, turning his body into an emotional pressure cooker. When did find Hilary he was unsure if he was going to hug her or hit her.
Kai in contrast was sitting as if carved from marble. The only movement was the soft flutter of his eyelids and when occasionally he'd raise his bottle to his lips to drink. The 'back off' signals were coming from him in almost tangible waves. When he found Hilary he was determined to find out what was wrong with her, and when he found what or who was behind it there would be all hell to pay.
It was now past 8 p.m. which meant that it was well over six hours since either of them had seen Hil, and that had been when she had been walking out of the first aborted team meeting. The pair of them sat there in their quiet corner unaware of the groups of bladers all around that where whispering and stealing covert glances at the pair of them.
Chines teen drained the last of his beer, and raised an eyebrow and Kai in question. The Russian nodded once and Rei singled to the bar for the same again. All this was observed by the two teenage females that had just entered the bar. The taller of the two, an Irish Italian with bright blond hair with a thick black streak on the right inclined her head to the silver-headed Greek with her and started to walk towards the secluded corner.
Sensing eyes upon him Kai looked up and watched as two of the bladers from the team The Manticore Project walk straight across the room towards them. The ice blue eyed girl with the silver hair shrank back slightly under the weight of the death glare he sent them. The blond just rolled her deep blue eyes at his antics and turned her attention to Rei, while muttering. "Good to see you too Hiwatari."
The golden eyed niko's lip twitched as the ghost of a smile crossed his feline face while Kai scowled, at people's inability to keep out of his personal space.
"Silvina. Talina." Rei said, nodding first to the silver head and then the blond. The girl called Silvina smiled briefly and inclined her head in acknowledgement of his greeting.
The blond, Talina flicked the black streak out of her face and smirked. "Hey boys." Her voice was mocking with a light lilting Irish accent, which made it sound as if she were permanently laughing at whomever she was talking with.
"What the fuck do you want Malone?" Kai spat at her.
Her smirk just grew as she said. "Who's mad as a frog in a sock then?" Then her face became serious as she began to talk once more. "But seriously. When you see Hils can you just tell her that we heard what happened and that we're all on her side." And with that both girls turned to leave.
"HEY!" Kai yelled, as he jumped from his chair. Which caused not only the two females to stop in their tracks, but also everyone else in the bar to stop what they were doing and stare at the four of them.
"Yeah?" Talina asked, turning back to face the pair of them.
Neither answered, Rei just tilted his head, indicating that they were all the main focal point of the bars' clientele. "Something you wanna say?" Rei asked the room in general.
The noise level in the room instantly returned to its previous chatter and buzz as people restarted their abandoned conversations, leaving the four teens in the corner in peace.
"Nice. Now what was it you wanted?" The blond questioned, while placing her left hand on her hip and sticking her chin out, as if bracing herself for a battle.
"You said to tell Hilary you heard what happened." Rei began.
"Yeah, and?" Talina said, shifting her weight from foot to foot while waiting for someone to get to the point.
"What happened!" Kai demanded.
The Irish Italian's face dropped and her arms fell limply by her sides as she just stared to the pair of them.
"You mean you don't know?" It was the first time that Silvina had spoken during the meeting. Her voice soft with the faintest hint of a Greek accent. Her icy eyes were wide as she looked to the two boys in wonderment.
"No!" Kai snapped. Then caught himself, as the girl involuntarily flinched at the tone of his voice. This wasn't the blond who liked to his buttons; this silver head was her opposite. The quite one, who cared, perhaps cared too much. If he wanted to find out what she knew he would have to coax it out of her, if he yelled she would just freeze up on him. Malone wouldn't have batted an eyelid at his yells, but she was just standing there in dumb astonishment, next too useless.
"Sorry," He said calmly. "We don't know what's happened, can you tell us?" Finishing his request he dropped his crimson eyes from her blue ones, less the aggressive body language scare her.
Silvina nodded. "We heard it from Jack Daily. You know that dark haird guy on the Furies team?" She began.
"Yeah, we know him." This time it was Rei the spoke. "Go on."
"He was talking to some of the other guys he hangs around with, I don't like them. So when I had to go past them to get to the lift I asked Tazzy to go with me." At the sound of her name blond seemed to come to her senses and turned to look at her friend, but she didn't take over the telling of what they had heard.
"So we where waiting for the lift, but it was taking forever and we couldn't help but over hear what they were saying." Her voice became higher, as if desperate to reassure her audience that she hadn't been eves dropping.
The Russian nodded; showing that he understood that she had done nothing wrong.
The slim girl gulped and then continued. "He was talking about Ming-Ming and how much he'd like to, well you know." She said flushing slightly. For a girl of seventeen was still amazingly still so innocent. "And then he started going on about how he couldn't understand why she never seemed interested in him, considering some of the people she'd been with. And had they heard about what had happened to her earlier. They said they hadn't. And he said that she'd been with Tyson-"
"WHAT?" Kai yelled and Rei's eyes narrowed to wicked slits, while the blond nodded.
"- this afternoon and Hilary had walked in on them." She finished with a rush.
Both males simply got to their feet and made their way out of the bar without a word.
Silvina stared after them while Talina hoped into one of the vacated seats and grabbed Kai's half-finished bottle of beer. Fixing her deep blue orbs on her friends' ice blue ones she said. "I'd pay to be there when those two get their hands on Granger. He deserves whatever he gets and then some."
Silvina, who detested violence worriedly, nibbled on her lower lip, while Talina just shrugged at her reaction and raised the bottle to her lips and drained its contents.
Lamanth: So there you have it!
Dedi: I want to be there when Tyson gets what he deserves!
Muse: Yep! Me and all!
Lamanth: That's good to hear, Kai now knows what's going on I just have to work out how to get Tala into this fic. If anyone has any ideas on how I can do this please let me know! I fear my well of inspiration is drying up!
Dedi: Always the dramatic on isn't she?
Muse: Always! Please remember to vote for who Hil ends up with. You can choose from – Kai, Tala, and Brooklyn. Yeah, that's right people just the three of them now. One vote per review.
Big luv see ya
