No sudden moves.
That's all that echoed in Kori's head at that moment. What should she do? What should she not do? Should she run? Do whatever he tells her?
She did know one thing… that she could have bet a million dollars that this would have never happened in her life.
Kori didn't want her life to be flushed down the toilet! No way! She worked way to hard to let it slip away from her now. No baloney-cutting-knife was going to scare her.
So she looked one more time at it and made her decision.
With all her might she swung her elbow into his chest and ran off, her heart on the verge exploding.
She looked over her shoulder and spotted a man in a sky-mask running after her and another one with dark hair running after him. Quickly, Kori threw herself through an open window of an abandoned apartment building, and ran up the stairs.
I think your daily exercise is done for the day…''This really isn't the time! You can be helping m—'' But a dark 'thing' covered her mouth and a massive figure nailed her to the wall.
She finally took control of her brain and understood that a black leather glove covered her mouth and her screams where muffled. In her state of panic, Kori had unusual thoughts, like:
''I will never be able to attend my prom.'' Or
''The dog pictures sewed on his glove are adorable.'' Or
''I won't ever get the chance to scream Richard's name again.''
She desperately tried to get free but couldn't. His cool voice whispered, ''I've got you.''
Kori closed her eyes not wanting to watch her death pass by in slow motion.
Life wasn't a movie because she couldn't fast forward the scary scenes. But somehow, life had a way to make you watch everything in slow motion when you wanted them to be in fast forward.
Suddenly, she felt as light as a feather but her right hand seemed tugged to the floor by something heavy. Still not daring to open her eyes, Kori believed the she was in heaven but a big chain was tying her down to hell, by her right hand.
Maybe…God didn't make his decision yet. Kori was always a girl that was difficult to understand…
''Kori!''
Ok…or I'm on earth or Richard's in heaven!''Kori! You ok?'' She felt a strong arm grab her waist.
Not understanding what happened, she opened her eyes and—
''I'm still on earth…'' she mumbled. ''Yes! I'm ok…I think…'' she said rubbing her temples. Kori looked around then back at Richard. ''Where did he…? Did you…?'' she asked raising a curious eyebrow.
''Come back to my apartment. I'll explain everything.'' He said, reassuring her.
Surprised that she never saw this side of Richard before, Kori didn't know what to say. Should she accept? Refuse?
But right then, other questions flew through her mind.
Why wasn't Xavier there, when she needed him the most? How did Richard find her? Was he following her? She knew that Xavier had to go to meet a friend but was he saying the truth? Did he—
''Sure…'' She looked down the her right hand believing that it was a chain tying her down the hell but it was – ''The jar of Cheese Wizz! Imagine that after all that, I didn't let this stupid thing go!'' She yelled throwing it out a window. ''None of this would have happened if it wasn't for that…thing!''
--
He had licked the last drop of cream from the doughnut box. His tongue was sore and the doughnut box was…wet. He checked it over, and over again with hope in his heart to 'maybe' find another little drop of cream, a crum…anything!
He was poor, he was hungry. He was old, he was cold. When that box fell, he was the happiest person on earth, but know all that happiness flew off with the cool summer breeze and his hope for miracles disappeared.
Maybe God had pity of him, so he gave him one chance. But know, he had to fly on his own! No doughnuts! No cream! No crums! Nothing was going to hold him back now! The devil wasn't going to bring him to hell!
Yeah! Because this guy had hope! This guy had—
SMASH!
…a jar of Cheese Wizz?
Well…he said that not doughnut, cream or crum was going to hold him back…but who ever mentioned Cheese Wizz?
Cheese Wizz…Cheese Wizz…it brought back childhood memories, to this old man. This guy was lucky.
''No friggin way DUDE!''
God had plans for this man.
God had big plans…

It had been a long drive back to Richard's place. She was afraid to be traumatized or scarred for life! She knew she was strong…or was she wrong?
Why was she the target? What was the meaning of this? She didn't want to know. She didn't feel the need to know. It already disgusted her, since she already knew his intentions.
But right know she felt safe; in Richard's apartment. She never thought she would ever 'think' this but she felt good with Richard. And she shouldn't forget that she owed him…big time.
He handed her a glass of hot chocolate. She looked up and smiled…that's all she could do for the moment.
''You ok?'' He sat next to her, nervously looking at the time.
She stayed silent.
''I saw you turn in a back street…and a guy followed. So I did as Bob told me and followed both of you. The next thing I know, I say that manic running after you with a butcher's knife.'' He tried to smile.
She looked up at him, even thought they were sitting down. ''Who's Bob?'' she asked confused.
He sweat-dropped. ''An old friend…that works in the…SWAT or FBI…can't really remember.''
Kori mouthed 'oh' when she finally understood.
''Thanks.'' She whispered.
He raised a curious eyebrow. ''You're…welcome?''
You idiot! Don't say it as if it was a question!!''It's a pleasure. Anytime, Kori! If you need me, just bang on the wall or something.'' He smiled.
Kori smiled…and eventually blushed. She was scared. She never thought she could be this scared in all her life!
She knew that she couldn't hold it back…she was going to burst out any moment. She looked at Richard…and he looked back. Suddenly, she embraced him tightly, but didn't cry.
He didn't move for few moments, having no idea what to do. Slowly, he put his arms around her as gently as he could, and tried to understand how she felt.
His nerves relaxed, as well as hers and they staid like that for few seconds…minutes…moments…maybe even eternity. Even if they didn't know how much time they stayed in that position, they knew that they could rely on one another.
She snuggled her face in his strong chest and took a deep breath of his perfume. Richard or Kori actually imagined themselves like…this.
''It's going to be…ok'' it was the only thing he could say.
Kori knew it was going to be ok. She was blessed with this friend. ''Thanks Ri—''
But the door swung open and a tall figure stood in the door's frame. ''What the…''
