Heartaches

Chapter Nine

By Kellyq

Carly dashed into the hospital and stopped suddenly when a woman with long black hair, slanted piercing hazel eyes stepped right in front of her. She had on a long white dress that covered half of her breasts. The lady went by the name of Misty.

Carly groaned, knowing what the woman wanted. "I'm going to be late for work," she explained, looking away. Carly never liked the way Misty stared at her. She always felt violated when Misty's eyes combed her body.

Misty wore a seductive smile on her lips as she advanced toward her prey, backing Carly to the wall. She leaned in, taking a gentle hold of Carly's glasses and took them off. "Hello there," Misty purred, staring into dark green eyes.

They looked at each other until they felt someone staring at them. Misty turned her head to see a teen with black spiky hair. Each spike had yellow highlights. He wore a blue jacket over a black shirt, blue pants and knee high boots. Yusei turned and walked to the front desk as Carly struggled free.

"Wait, excuse me," Carly called out.

She finally pushed Misty away, but she tripped and fell to the ground with a thump. Yusei turned and took a few steps, but he stopped when Misty gave him a piercing look. She crouched down and placed Carly's glasses back on her face.

"Careful," Misty murmured. She reached out and caressed Carly's back seductively once before she rose and walked past Yusei.

He looked over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes before he turned and helped Carly up, that's when he caught her name tag. "You're Carly, I presume?" Yusei questioned.

The young woman blinked. "Wha -?" she asked slowly. "Oh! That's me! How may I help you?" she asked, adjusting her spiral glasses.

"My name is Yusei, and I'm looking for a friend named Kiryu Kyosuke. He was in room 1219, but now I can't find him. What room did he get relocated at?"

"Let me check." Carly walked behind the desk and did some typing. When she was done, Carly let out a 'hmm'. "It seems like he had been moved due to having petit mal seizures and not getting the actual proper care that he needs," Carly explained. By this point, Yusei wore a dark expression. "He's in room 326, the second floor on your right."

Yusei nodded his head turned and made his way to the elevator. Carly looked back at the screen and read the rest of the profile.

A man about four feet tall walked down the street. He had short violet spiky hair, and pail skin. His pointy ears were pierced, and he wore fine clothes. This man went by the name of Jaeger. His green eyes held a lot of mischief. A smirk made its way to his dark purple lips. For the past three hours, he had been followed. Jaeger didn't know by who, but he was going to find out.

Jaeger stopped and chuckled. "You can come out now. I know you've been stalking me for the past three hours."

He turned and came face to face with Crow. Jaeger chuckled again. "Sorry - but you're not my type, and I already have a sex partner. Now if you excuse me, I have more important things to attend to."

Jaeger turned and took a few steps when a cord wrapped around his wrist, and he was pulled back. He looked over his shoulder to see that Crow had used a piece of wire to keep him in place.

"Not so fast you dirty rat bag," Crow growled, giving the cord a harsh tug. Jaeger turned fully to face the teen. "I want you to deliver a personal message to Godwin: He's got about two weeks to start helping, and if he doesn't - I'll have no problem telling the police what really happened between him, Rudger, and Yusei's parents - got that?"

Jaeger raised a brow. "Oh my," he stated casually, "and who are you to make ideal threats? I don't think you stated your name. Oh, wait. You look familiar," Jaeger questioned, a sly look on his face. "You're Crow, friends of Yusei and Jack."

The red-haired teen snickered. "Yeah. And you're Godwin's little slut - nice to meet you too," Crow mocked. He gave the wire another hard tug. "Now, are you going to deliver the message or not?"

Jaeger closed his eyes, looking as though he was contemplating. He giggled, and opened his eyes. "I might have time to deliver the message. Now ... let go of me before something bad happens to Mr. Kyosuke, is that clear."

Crow growled and the cord loosened. Jaeger took the opportunity to take hold of the cord and pull on it. Crow yelped in shock as he was yanked forward and then collapsed on the pavement. Crow growled again as he got up, holding his sore arm, watching Jaeger walk calmly past him.
