Chapter 24:

Katie had been in shock from seeing her beloved, newlywed husband die right before her eyes. With her odd past, she had known Trunks long before she met him, and she had crushed on him. Then once they met in person, it had been love at first sight. He was caring and gentle, and rough when she wanted him to be. They had been through a lot and she had already lost him once before. Seeing it again had thrown her for a loop.

Katie stood and looked around, finally snapping out of her trance. She was pissed. Who did that woman think she was? Killing people who didn't want to join her religion? Then again, Katie never did understand religion. It made it easier when she found out it was a fat man behind a desk who sent you to heaven or hell. And then she had even been to hell. She'd rather have taken that than losing Trunks to an insane cult leader.

"That bitch is going down. Hopefully if she's dead everything will go back to normal and I can get out of here and bring Trunks back…" Katie still had a glazed over look. All she could think about was killing that woman and anything that got in her way. She went to the door that Insanity and Greed had used. She walked, and like an animal, she sniffed the air, finding Claudia's scent

Katie followed the woman's scent, going down the halls. She suddenly stopped and turned, seeing a shadow pass. She narrowed her eyes, like a cat she could see in the dark. She followed the figure, soon finding it to be Greed.

"Greed!" he stopped and turned to her.

"Well, welcome back to earth." He said.

"I'm sorry…" she said, looking away, "But… Trunks…"

"I'm sorry Katie, really, but there's no time. I can't find Insanity."

"You really can't keep track of him can you?" she said, worried, but trying to mask it with humor. Luckily Greed noticed.

"Apparently not." He agreed, "You okay to help?"

"I can get Trunks back once we can get out of this town. Until then I really won't be okay."

Greed nodded to her, then started off down the hall again. Katie followed him, thinking about their situation.

"Greed… which is really more important right now… finding Insanity, or that bitch?" Greed stopped and turned to Katie, his eyes narrowed in anger, but Katie didn't flinch. He blinked, then thought for a moment, looking away from her, "Insanity can handle himself, right? But I think if we can kill that bitch everything will go back to normal."

"And if you're wrong?" Greed asked, looking at her.

"If I'm wrong, then finding Insanity is more important." She said, "I don't want to see anyone else get hurt." Her voice softened, but her face stayed firm.

Greed looked at Katie, studying her, then down the hall where he had been headed. He clenched his fists, thinking. It was hard trying not to be biased right now, but he came to the only conclusion he could think of.

"If you're wrong…" Greed looked down the hall.

"I have no idea if killing her will stop this or not." Katie already knew what he had decided, and frankly she agreed. She started down the hall, sniffing the air for Insanity now. She heard Greed's heavy footsteps follow close behind her.
