Cravings

xxChapter 3xx

"Miss Spicer, it's good to see you once more."

The redhead looked over to the man and smiled. "Hey Erick! So can I see what all you got today?"

Erick nodded and motioned for the other two guards to open the container.

The doors opened, revealing the contents. Children from ages 4 to 16 are packed inside, leaving only little space for walking. Jaque took off her coat and handed it to one of her jaquebots leaving her in her red tank top and black jeans. She continued into the container and started looking through the crowd.

She stopped at a little girl, about five years in age, with blonde pigtails and a ratty pink dress. Jaque crouched down to the girl's level and started examining her, like a doctor. She checked her heart rate, looked at her eyes, then nails, and also checked her hair for lice or anything else. All the while, the little girl sat there, scared. She watched Jaque with wide eyes. When Jaque seemed satisfied, she pulled out a black marker and, as she held the girl's face, she made her signature mark under the girl's left eye.

Jaque started to walk around again and spied a brown-haired boy, probably around ten. She repeated the process of checking his condition, and also found him satisfactory. She placed the same mark on him like she did the girl, and moved on.

She spotted a plump girl, probably fourteen, with short black hair. Jaque made her way over, the girl looking down. When she got there she skipped the health examination and placed the mark on the girl.

She walked out and took her coat back. She snapped her fingers after replacing her tattered trench. A jaquebot moved up and opened its chest, producing a bronze briefcase. The guard Erik, opened it to reveal the money inside. After checking to make sure said money was real and the amount was there, he closed the case and took it.

"The merchandise you purchased will be delivered tomorrow."

Jaque nodded and flew off, robots in pursuit.

~*AT THE SPICER MANSION*~

Jaque went straight to her lab after she returned. She had finished all the repairs to her jaquebots before the wu activated, so she decided it was time to modify her heli-bot. She un-clipped the device and set it on the table, and then removed her coat, leaving her in her red tank top and black jeans. She walked over to a shelf and grabbed her toolbox, blueprints, and some extra stuff she may need. As she walked back to the work table, checking everything was there, a smooth voice called out.

"Hello, Spicer."

"AAAAAAAH!"

Jaque dropped everything in her arms, causing a huge mess and a lot of noise. She turned to her left and saw Chase standing there. She immediately scowled, she was not in the mood.

"Couldn't you at least WAIT 'til I put everything on the table before you scare the ever living daylights out of me?!" She dropped to her hands and knees, gathering up the fallen items.

Chase, to say the least, was a bit shocked at the girl. Jaque had never snapped at him before, she was too scared of him. Not only that, but she turned her back to him in a submissive position. He swallowed before mentally shaking those thoughts from his head. 'Stop it! You did not come here for that, you came to find out the little worm's secret!'

Jaque stood back up, hands full once more, and continued to the table where her heli-bot was. Chase took notice of the fact that she wasn't wearing her trench coat. Her slender, white arms practically glowing in the artificial light, smooth and unblemished. Again he mentally shook the thoughts from his head.

"What do want Chase? I'm busy."

Chase quirked an eyebrow at her. "A little brave today aren't you Spicer?"

"Shut up, I'm cranky."

"Oh?" He should have been angry that the little worm basically ordered him to 'shut up', but he was more intrigued really.

"Yes, Oh, now what do you want?" Now he was really curious. 'I wonder if this has anything to do with her secret.'

"I'm here for that secret you don't want anyone to know."

Jaque froze losing her grip on the wrench. She swallowed hard and started to tremble a little, almost unnoticeable. But Chase saw it and smirked. He walked closer to her, asking in a commanding voice.

"I'll give you a chance to tell me on your own, otherwise I'll have to use the shen-gong-wu. It's your choice."

Jaque remained still and silent. She closed her eyes and took a deep, shaking breath before answering.

"You're gonna have to use the wu, cause I'm not telling you anything." Her red eyes were like bloody daggers piercing his very being.

"If you insist. Voice of Secrets."

Jaque's eyes widened and her mouth parted slightly before she was hit with a white beam of light that surrounded her whole body. The light disappeared and Chase's voice cut through the air like a knife.

"Now what is it that you don't want anyone to know, Jaque?"

Something inside her brought back the memory, one she tried to hide away, the day her cravings started. Then something brought the words to her throat, struggling to come out. She fought as hard as she could but it was no use she, she finally let her secret out.

"I murdered my 5 year old sister when I was 8, when my parents saw I knew I couldn't let them go, they would have told. So I got the jaquebots to kill. I got them to drag the bodies to the meat freezer while I figured out what to do with them. I then got this great idea that was fool proof, so I gave the orders to my jaquebots and I was set for the next month or so on food. From then on though, I kept getting these cravings, so I buy what I need. It took a while but I found a good supplier; the kids aren't damaged and they're healthy."

For some reason, once she got done telling, her energy was gone. She collapsed to her knees; hands flat on the floor with shaking arms holding her up. Her voice was so quiet it wasn't even a whisper.

"Now you know. Happy?"
