A New way of Life.
Chapter: 9
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Is that not what we have been taught? I began to write in my writing tablet. But how does one measure the life of one's soul? From thousands of years ago to even today the measure of ones life is measured in money. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I find whoever killed Sam, but their will be hell to pay.
I put down my pencil, closed the book, and looked outside the window. The sun was beginning to rise.
"A red sun rises-"
"On a night on which blood has flowed." Bentley said as he came rolling in from another room. "Did you get any sleep?"
"No... I had too much to think about."
"I understand," he moved closer to me. "You should get some rest we got some help on the way."
"Really, who?"
"Well Sly and Carm are on the way, and I think they are bringing some help with them."
"OK... Can you please let me have some time alone?"
"Sure thing hun." He said as he left the room. I opened a drawer on the desk to put my pencil in and noticed a small Japanese dagger.
Must be a keepsake from when they time traveled. I the whole time I was driving here my mind was filled with thoughts of just ending it right then and there. I picked up the recurved blade and held it in my hand, just looking at it and thinking. My heart began to quicken and harden its pace. Would it be better if I just end right here and now? I put the blade to my left wrist. My hands began to shake. I began to press down. "AHHHH!" I pulled the blade up and off my wrist, tossed the blade onto the desk, sat down against the wall, and began breathing heavy.
"I gotta go, I gotta go now." I grabbed a bag of my things, my cane, and lept onto the roof leaving Bentley a note.
Sly's POV
On a plane heading to England.
"Eh... These seats suck." I said.
"Well they were basically free so shut up." My lover said.
"Carm you should know that I am used to the finer things in life."
"Maybe that's your problem. You should be more humble." I rolled my eyes.
She don't understand I'm from a line of thieves we take whatever we want. "Anyway how did we get these tickets anyway?"
"John and one of his inspector friend got a good rate from her frequent flyer miles. Also I hear that she has the hots for him." She had a big grin on her face. "Reminds me of a certain Racoon I know that had the love bug for me."
"Well that's very unfortunate for him since he don't know how much trouble you are." That comment earned me a slap across the head, and silent treatment. I got up out of my seat and walked back to John who was sitting next to the sleeping inspector.
"Hey John," he looked up to me."
"Hey Mr. Cooper."
"Does she know what were doing over in England?"
"I don't think so, although she did say she was on a trail of another crook that uses similar methods you used in your past."
"Yeah well there's one thing different I stole from thieves."
"True enough. Anyway when are you going to fill me in on what's happening?"
"When you lose your escort."
"Won't be that easy she did pay for my ticket and got you a good discount."
"Yeah but still it's a family and a close friend matter that should be handled by us alone. You understand don't you."
"Kind of. Either way should could be of some use to us."
"I can see that but just keep her in check."
"That shouldn't be too hard since she fancies me," he smiled.
"I could tell. anyway we should be there in an hour or two."
"Sly!" Carm called to me.
"Well I guess my silent treatment is over." I shook his hand and returned to my seat.
MEANWHILE ON THE PORTSMITH ROOF TOPS
VANESSA'S POV
I must of ran and jumped for at least a Kilometer or more before I stopped. "Where am I even going?! I got to find who did this. The note my long lost cousin left for me told me about her family member who sought his share of the Cooper family treasure including the Thevious Racoonus. That's where I should go first. England is where I must go to find the answers I seek.
I hope no one gets worried, but I did learn a lesson in all this. Don't get attached to anything or anyone that may not be there tomorrow. All it will cause is pain and suffering in the end." Thing I don't understand is there a third party involved with person X.
