Disclaimer- I do not own Sailor moon, Naoko Takeuchi does though.
Okay this is my third chapter, and I don't know what anyone thinks about my story. I haven't had that much feedback. Anyway, hopefully I didn't make many mistakes in this chapter, please review. Thank you.
As Darien was driving away from his home, he turned to catch a last glimpse of Serena as he left the house for work, She was waving goodbye to him, he raised his hand to wave back but she had just then decided to turned away. Dropping his hand Darien was disappointed that Serena had turned away and played with the idea of going back home and saying goodbye to Serena again, ignoring that feeling he started the fifteen minuet excursion to work.
While driving to work Darien's mind was preoccupied, not on the road, but on just about everything else, from Serena to work and even to the murders.
Saying goodbye to Serena for the rest of the day was always one of the worst parts of Darien's day, but he would see her when he got home, that's what he always told himself.
But what if something happens to me while I'm at work? What would Serena do? What if something happens to her while I'm at work, I would hate myself.
She told me that when I go to work every night, she constantly worries about me. She said she would rather be poor and have me not work at all and have me safe with her than have me risk my life on a job.
No, I'm just being stupid thinking about this, I need to stop thinking about the words, what if.
Darien also liked to provide for Serena, he always felt some pride in knowing that he was providing money and security to Serena and himself, that's the main reason he really goes to work.
He never thought anything in his life would turn out as good as it did. But some nagging voice in his head reminded him of his doubts.
Maybe the good times won't last, its about time for something bad to happen again, nothing has happened in a while.
Again dismissing his other thoughts of something going wrong he next turned his thoughts to the murders in the USA, he felt a bout of anxiety and that something colossal was going to happen in the very near future.
I don't think that the murders taking place at the moment are new enemies or enemies with any sort of power. I just think they are a smart gang or a group of people who like to murder. Though the murders for some reason always take place near states with plenty of water or ocean, they all seemed connected.
Darien's silent muse stopped when cars started honking behind him, looking up to his rearview mirror he noticed that the previous red light had turned green. Quickly pushing the gas pedal he sped forward trying to lose the angry people behind him.
Some minutes later Darien was back to driving silently, he was about a few blocks from the police station.
While driving towards his work building he noticed huge gray billows of smoke rising up and into the sky.
A bad omen. Darien thought
Darien also noticed fire trucks quickly rolling by him speeding and blaring their alarms, alerting people that something was wrong, trying to get to whatever was burning.
Some moments later forgetting about the fire trucks, like most people do, Darien turned his concentration back to the road as he turned the last corner to get to the police station where he worked.
Looking down at his watch it indicated that he was right on time.
When Darien looked up from his watch he immediately noticed the smoke and fire he had previously forgotten about, it was coming from his work building.
Shocked Darien pushed down the gas pedal, hard, he covered the few feet of pavement that lead to the employee entrance gate where he usually parked his car.
Turning into the parking lot, Darien gazed at the burning remains of the police station he had worked at for the past two years with surprised awe.
The police station was almost in total destruction, he didn't even recognize anything, he had to strain his eyes to actually see the remains of the station, for smoke was blanketing it from his view.
Darien then quickly got out of his car, locked it, and mentally prepared himself for what he was about to hear from his peers.
Jogging without delay to where he could see the most people standing, he rushed over to his best buddy, which is Dan.
Outwardly Darien didn't express any visible emotion, but inwardly he expressed relief that his best buddy and partner on the job was alive and he also inwardly felt chaos and curiosity as to what had transpired.
As Darien approached the circle of men he heard hushed whispering, and when he came even closer the men finally noticed him and the whispering started dying down.
Everyone was gathered around in a circle, he instantly recognized everyone else there, they all worked with him, Darien felt relief that they were all alright, but he was unhappy that they all had stopped talking when he arrived. He felt like he was the only one who didn't know a big secret.
Making his way into the circle he turned to his fellow employees and pointed at the burning building and asked," Hey, what happened here, why is our building burning?"
Darien knew he would hate the answer to that question.
" We have evidence that proves someone outside of the building started the fire, not an accident. We are already getting lab reports back on some of the buildings remains, it was thought to be started by a liquid fire starter, like kerosene."
" Damn, any leads as to who might have caused the fire and why."
Darien's friend, Dan, answered the question.
" Surprisingly we do have a lead on who might have caused the fire, one and only one lead."
Curious now, Darien looked at Dan and expected him to explain more, when he didn't say anything he asked, " What is the lead then?" Grudgingly Dan replied.
" We have probable cause that one of our men, Bryant, who elected to help American investigators on the crime scenes, went to far into the new murder case and almost found out who the murderers were and why they were murdering people."
Dan looked to the ground saddened suddenly and so did all of the other men standing with them.
" Bryant was murdered, and the reason I think our station was destroyed was because Bryant had sent us some extremely valuable information about the murderers while he was in the states, the information was impossible to take from our computers and delete so they wrecked our computers and police station, now we have nothing."
Darien looked around the circle of employees and he knew that Dan was right, Bryant was gone.
Darien had always liked Bryant, he remembered that Bryant had just finished his final training a few weeks ago, and was excited about going to work over in the USA for a while, he remembered Bryant as being a very happy and cheerful guy, he was also very intelligent.
" I can't seem to believe that Bryant is gone." Muttered Darien to the other men.
Every man standing with Darien muttered some sort of a sad agreement.
That's it for my third chapter, I hope you liked it. Now, this time it might take a few days to write another chapter, but who knows. Please tell me what you think in the form of a review or whatever else. Thank you!
