A.N. so yay new chapter and the search for The Cirque and now Desmond Continues.

Disclaimer: not going to put it down because I have to free Blue from the suit case but you know what was supposed to go here.

Searching

I decided that the first thing on my to-do list was not to find the plump Desmond Tiny but instead Get Blue out of the suit case so that I would not have to continue dragging her dead weight body beside me.

So I quickly made my way into one of the many restrooms in the airport and checking to see that I was alone placed an out of order sign on the other side of the door. Inside the restroom I slammed the suit case holding Blue onto the floor and felt satisfied when I heard her angry grumbles coming from inside.

I bent down and unzipped the suit case seeing Blue looking angrily up at me once her eyes became accustomed to the bright lights that were now shining in her face.

"What the hell was that for." She complained as she slowly climbed out of the suit case. I shrugged and watched as she zipped up the now empty case and the walked out the door making sure to remove the sign once I was out.

Blue was following close behind me looking excitedly at her new surrounding as I began scanning the crowd for any scared expressions and listening for screams of pain and or fear. The reason for this was because where there is pain there is sure to be a creepy tiny dude in a yellow coat with his heart shaped watch nearby.

I stopped with Blue who was walking close behind me bumping into me and making me lose my balance and fall to the ground. Before I could yell at her she quickly got up and began nervously hopping from foot to foot.

"Sorry Salmon, but you should warn me before you stop." I stared at Blue angrily when I suddenly heard the distinct screams that only sounded this way when the one screaming is running from something in fear.

Forgetting about the incident between Blue and myself, I quickly stood and began running toward the area that I heard the screams coming from. Upon reaching the source of the screams I saw that Desmond was standing over a punkish looking male who had bright neon green hair, and lots of chains throughout his outfit.

I looked back to Desmond who was standing over the boy and saw that he had that creepy glow surrounding his body and an evil glint in his eyes. In his hand he tightly clutched his creepy heart shaped watch. "Desmond stop that now before you kill him!" I yelled to the fat man.

At the word kill the crowd that had gathered ran away in an ever bigger panic than before. I looked around and saw that to my left the airport police, or whatever you called them, were coming only they looked just as freaked out as the people who ran away leaving.

The sight reminded me of the guards in one of my favorite games, when danger was out of sight they showed a strong outer layer but once the people began yelling and running they showed their true colors.

The sight made me laugh for a second, but then I remembered the trouble that it would cause if our guide to the cirque was taken in so I ran up, trampling over the punk who did who knows what and grabbed Desmond by the arm pulling the squat fat man behind me.

The three of us were running through the airport dodging people that we past and them finally pushed through the glass doors skipping the swivel doors, which Blue began crying about.

Once we got out side I made a quick turn right not knowing for sure where I was going and then turned into the first alley I came across once we were further away from the airport.

Once the three of us were within the darker parts of the alley I began raging and kicking anything that was on the ground in my path.

"What the HELL was that about!" I yelled emphasizing the word hell just to make it clear how annoyed I was right now. Desmond who was shorter than me stared at me and shrugged, "Well that punk was being very rude about my outfit." He stated, as if that was a logical reason to almost kill a random bystander.

I grunted knowing that it was pointless to argue with the squat tiny man about this subject so I quickly changed it. "Fine whatever; now tell me where the Cirque is performing."

Desmond smiled, his creepy smile that meant something was about to happen, be it good or bad something was about to happen.

I stared at the yellow clad man in front of me when I began to hear footsteps coming this way. I pushed Blue behind a nearby dumpster and then followed her into a crouching position, watching Desmond as he just stood and met the oncoming stranger head on.

"Mr. Tiny what are you doing here?" can a surprised yet scared question from the stranger. "Ah, just who I wanted to see." Stated Desmond with a huge broad smile on his face and poison laced in his voice. "Now Blue, Salmon if you would be so kind to come out of hiding you may want to meet my little friend here."

I did as Desmond requested and stood up dusting myself off as I did. Once I was standing my full height I turned to the person and saw standing before me was a teen boy probably around the same age as mine standing a few feet away continually sending cautious glances to Desmond.

He had slightly crazy dark brown hair, and somewhat sad looking brown eyes, like something happened in his past that he probably regrets. His clothes were very worn, but still very good; at his side he had a large back full of what seemed to be papers.

Desmond interrupted my train of thought as he spoke again. "Salmon this is my VERY good friend Darren Shan, And Darren this is my traveling companion Salmon."

At the boys name Blue went into a fan girl squee-ing session and then did exactly what I told her not do to do. She ran up jumped into the air with her arms fully outstretched and then as she came down she closed her arms around pour unsuspecting Darren's neck in a fully fan girl Glomp.

Granted I wanted to do it as well, but I had more composure than my crazy twin.

"Daren, I am so sorry about my twin." I said as I began prying Blue off of Darren and then helped him up off the ground while still blocking off Blue.

Darren looked at me than whispered into my ear. "Are you truly traveling with Mr. Tiny?"

A.N. so a cliff hanger if you are reading my other cirque du freak fanfiction than you know that this is not the first cliff hanger that I did, ha I say because even I can do cliff hangers so there you go and tell me what you think.
