It was a short trip back home. While I was thinking I realized that everyone had a pattern they followed criminal or otherwise. Most don't even realize it after a while. Therefore the pattern becomes habit. I figured it wouldn't hurt to chart out where she went and how long she stayed, and hopefully figure out where she would go next. Sounds simple right? You'd be dead wrong. I stayed up for hours questioning everyone I had questioned before. Prodding their memory of anything that could be of use to me, slowly gathering more and more information. Finally, I put together a chart. The pattern idea was a marvelous idea…but the more I ran my hand over the chart to 'read what I had written' the more I was getting a headache. I then decided to made the chart more interesting…so I re did it in teal, red as well as black. I spent days trying to predict where she might go, sadly there were too many options…I'd have to wait for her to get to another city before I could process anymore of this.

I was tired of this…why couldn't this have been a simple robbery gone wrong case? At least then I wouldn't be about ready to beat my head against my desk. Why did she irritate me so much? Was it because I wished she wasn't such a slippery snake or was it because I was amazed by how she could avoid the law for so long?

I was growing tired of this waiting game…how much longer would it take for me to lay eyes upon that attractive girl again? I mean the great Mindfang is as patient as a spider who carefully awaits her prey to land in her webbing. I wasn't bored of avoiding her and her law HA! I never get bored…I just wish she'd hurry up. I'm a busy woman I don't like waiting for this kind of plan to unfold! I began tapping a single nail against the railing of the balcony. The brothel I was currently staying in had a wonderful view of the sea…not that I had any bad views of it…but this particular brothel smelled horribly of cheap alcohol, sex and perfume. Usually, I had no problems with this sent, but today was just one of those days. When boredom struck and refused to leave.

"Hey, Capt'n, why ain't you got yourself one of these beauties yet?" I looked over my shoulder. I turned around the rest of the way, holding on to the railing behind me choosing my words carefully as I did this. Glaring at this blockhead I finally spoke.

"Because I simply do not want any of them…and it's none of your business, nor the rest of the crews business for that matter, of why I do things the way I do." I turned back around "Go enjoy that awful rum and leave me be." I had plans to make…I would have my way with that neophyte eventually.

I tossed my papers side. I had such a massive headache from the shitty things that I wanted them out of my 'sight'! I tried to maintain my usual calm look when Pyralspite would peer into the window. I grabbed a hold of my hair and pulled not hard enough to rip hairs out but enough so it hurt. It was frustrating not having her in custody already! I abruptly got up out of my chair allowing it to fall over and walked over to my bed and flopped down face first and as soon as my face hit the pillow I was out cold.

My dream was lovely I finally captured her. I had brought her to court, began to read my speech which had colorful language yet was straight to the point when suddenly everything changed. All I remember was feeling like I was falling when I woke up I sat up on my knees. I brushed back some of my hair and rubbed my eyes.

"uuuuh…thank goodness it was all just a bad dream…" I got up off the bed, hungry I made my way to my kitchen with the fingertips of one hand using the walls to guide me through the house to my destination.

[AN]: I'm personally loving how this is coming together XD I forgot to say in the last chapter that I don't own Homestuck or these two beautiful characters….but isn't that kinda obvious? I mean it wouldn't be fanfiction after all…right? I'm only posting this second chapter because I felt like it…and I sorta was on a roll with this. So I finished it before I wanted to…oh well can't change what has already been done. Review if you'd like…I'm not forcing you…
