Wednesday October 19th 1977 10:44 P.M. I walked into the office to the sight of Michelle eating a cookie. "You know you're not allowed to eat while you're working Michelle, right?" I said closing the door and walking over to her desk. "I'm on my brake." She said sounding full of herself. "Your brake isn't till 1:30..." Michelle stopped eating her cookie and looked at me. She then took a big and slow bite out of her cookie. "...You know employee promotion is next week, right?" I said folding my arms. "I'm the only one who works here." She said very cocky. I rolled my eyes at her. "Where did you get those cookies anyway?" Michelle blush lightly. "From a friend..." Michelle said looking at the wall. "Hmm..." I said looking closer at her. The closer I got, the more she blushed. "I got it!" I said standing up. "Someone's got a crush on you!"
"...Maybe." Michelle said still looking away from me. "Come on Michelle, tell me, who is it?" Michelle still says nothing while looking away. "So what if someone has a crush on me, didn't you go to the observatory last night with Mina?"
All of a sudden, visions from last night rush through my head. "Ughug..." I put my hand over my eye. "Samuel...are you all right?" Michelle said looking at me with a worried look on her face. "Ya... I'm alright." I said grabbing a cookie from her desk and heading up the stairs.
"Oh Michelle, are there any new messages for me?" I said standing at the top of the stairs. "Oh ya, I almost forgot." She said taking a piece of paper out from her drawer. "Trista called at 10:07 and said she wanted you to meet her at the police station at noon." I looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Well I still have some time then, thank you Michelle." I said walking into my office. "You're welcome Mr. Ownby." *click*
I walk over and sit down at my desk and took a bite out of Michelle's cookie. "Mmmm, peanut butter, whoever has a crush on Michelle sure knows how to win her over." I said to myself. As I'm sitting there, I start to think about what happen last. "Mina..." I decided to call her and see if she was alright. After weighing my options, I decided to call her house phone. I never call her house phone due to the fact that Mina's mother doesn't like me do to the fact that I'm over 20 years old. But I had to make sure Mina was ok. "Well here goes nothing." I said as I picked up my phone.
*555-3876* *ring, ring* *ring, ring* *ring* "Hello?" I could tell right away that voice belonged to Mina's mother. "It's Samuel, I was wondering if I could talk to Mina."
"You got some nerve calling here after what you did to Mina!" She yelled through the phone. "What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me Samuel! I know you went to the observatory last night with Mina!"
"And your point is?" I said rolling my eyes.
"You beat Mina up last night didn't you!?" My heart skipped a beat. "What!?" I said standing up from my chair. "Somebody hurt Mina!?"
"Don't play your games with me Samuel, Mina's up in her room covered in bruises and cuts and crying on her bed holding a picture of you!" I was speechless. "W-who did it?"
"Stop playing dumb with me Samuel! I know you like my daughter, so much that you tried to get with her last night didn't you!?" Now I was getting mad. "What did you just say!?" I yelled.
"Admit it! you tried to have sex with Mina last night but she said no so you beat her up!"
"Are you out of your dam Mind!?"
"I knew you were a sick predator, but I never knew when you were going to show your true self!" Not In a while have I've ever been so pissed off. "What are you accusing me of!?" I yelled. "You are a rapist Samuel!"
…Have you ever been called a rapist before? It makes you feel like nobody loves you anymore and everybody is against you. Even if everybody knows for a fact that you didn't do anything wrong. "Don't you ever come to my house and never call Mina or see her again! if I find out you are still seeing my little girl I'm going to move away from here and from you!" *click*
"..." My heart felt like someone was slowly pulling it apart. Someone hurt Mina last night. I promised her I would always be there for her. But last night I didn't keep that promise. And now because of me...Mina was hurt. Not in a long time have I ever been so upset. "GODDAM IT!" I screamed throwing the phone at the wall which broke the picture hanging on the wall. I fell to the floor by my desk trying hard not to cry. I haven't cried in over four years, and I wasn't about to look so weak.
*knock, knock* "Samuel? is everything alright?" Michelle said with a sad tone in her voice. "I'm fine Michelle, just...give me a minute..." I said with the sound of tears in my throat. "...ok" For the next ten minutes, I just sat there next to my desk feeling like a total failure...
Wednesday October 19th 1977 11:11 A.M. After pulling myself together I went downstairs to see Michelle. I plopped down in the lobby chair next to Michelle's desk. Michelle stopped what she was doing and just sat there looking at me with those sympathy eyes of hers. No one said a word for a few minutes. "Samuel... what's going on with Mina?" I said nothing as I just sat there, looking at the floor. "...Someone... beat her up last night."
"Oh my..." Michelle said with stunned look on her face. "What happened? is she alright?"
"I don't know... her mom wouldn't let me talk to her..." Michelle looked so sad. She puts one hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Samuel..."
"What are you apologizing for?" I said looking up to her. "I know to what it feels like to be completely helpless when someone you care for is hurt."
"It's all my fault."
"Come on now, don't say that."
"It's true, I should have looked for her more last night before I went home..."
"Samuel... what happened last night?" I took a deep breath and started to tell Michelle what happened last night.
*4 minutes later* "Wow... I didn't thank Mina would do something like that."
"Tell me about it, and now Mina's hurt and it's all my fault.
"Samuel... you tried your best."
"But that's the thing, It wasn't good enough..." I said still looking at the floor. "Hey Michelle?"
"Yes Samuel?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Of course, what is it?"
"Can you go by Mina's house and see if she is alright?" Michelle looked at me with a worried look on her face. "Will her mom let me see her?"
"Don't worry, just say you're her math teacher, it works every time."
"Ok... I'll stop by there on my way home tonight."
"Thank you Michelle."
"Of course Samuel." Michelle said giving me a cookie. "Eat something, it might make you feel better." I let out a little laugh as I take the cookie. "See, told you." Michelle said with a smile on her face. I looked up at the clock as I take a bite out of the cookie.
"Well I better get going, I have a long walk to the station." I said getting up and walking over to the door. "Hey Samuel?" Michelle said as I open the door. "Ya Michelle?"
"...Keep looking up ok?" She said with a small smile on her face. "I will." I said closing the door. "Well at least things can't get any worse... I hope." I said as I started walking to the police station.
Wednesday October 19th 1977 12:03 P.M. I arrived at the police station feeling a little bit better. I walked through the front door and headed to the front desk. "Hello sir, may I help you?"
"My name is Samuel Ownby and I'm here to see Trista Meioh?"
"Oh, so you're Samuel?" The man said with a surprise look on his face. "What do you mean?" I asked him. "Oh nothing, go ahead, she waiting for you."
"Thanks." I said as I started to walk to Trista office. I get to Trista's office and knocked on the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Me, Samuel."
"Come in." Trista said with a happy tone in her voice. I opened up the door to the sight of Trista reading someone's file with her legs up on her desk with them cross over each other. Trista was wearing a dark black button up shirt and a white short skirt. My heart rate went up a little bit as I tried not to stare. "Hello Samuel, I'm so glad you could come today." Trista said with a full of herself tone. "Please take a seat." She said as she pointed to the chair in front of her desk. I walked over and sat down.
"So what did you want to see me about?" I said looking at her. Trista put her legs down and looked at me with her red eyes. "I would like to apologize for my behavior yesterday." She said tapping her nails on the desk. "It's no problem, I would have reacted the same way if someone was shooting up my station." Trista looked chance into a more flirting look. "Oh I'm so happy you understand Samuel." Trista said getting up and walking over to the window. She turned the stick on the window and closed the blinds to her office. I did not like were this was going.
"You see Samuel, I have a proposition for you." She said as she sat on top of her desk and cross her legs as she started bouncing her top leg a little. My heart rate was well over 120 by this point. "What kind of proposition did you have in mind?" I said nervously. "I was wondering, is this the file you were looking for?" She said holding the file up she was reading when I walked in. "That's... Darien's file!" I said with a shocked look on my face. "How did you know that was the file I needed?"
"Well... let's just say a little black cat told me." Trista said tapping the file with her right finger. "I want you to have it as a sign of my friendship." Trista said with a smile on her face. "Thank you Trista." I said smiling while reaching for the file. When I grabbed the file, Trista took her other hand and put it on top of mine making a sandwich with her hands as the bread. My heart rate was now over 135 at this point and if I wasn't careful, my noise would start to bleed and that's the last thing I needed Trista to see.
"T-Trista?" I said blushing a little. Trista started moving closer to my face. I started to blush more. "Are y-you going to give it to me?" I said with a shaky voice. "You can have it...but you have to do something for me first." She whispered in my ear. I could feel my nose start to twitch. "W-what would that be?" Trista pulled away from me with a big smile on her face. She let go of my hand and walked back to her desk. I let out a faint gasp as my heart rate started to go down.
"You see Samuel, we here have a good reputation of being a good cop force, but that is now in jeopardy due to the fact that Jadeite escaped last night from our jail cell." Trista said sitting back down. "Ya, I heard about that on the news."
"Yes, well you see, I'm short on cops these last few days and the ones I have now are to sacred of Jadeite after what he did to those officers last night that no one want's to help the detective I have working the case right now. so here's my deal, if you team up with the girl I have working the case right now, I'll let you have that file and give you access to all are other files I have on record. Now how does that sound?" Trista said while she made circles on her desk with her finger. I knew I was going to regret this but I have a case to do. And after all, I'm going to have some help with this case now. "Very well, I accept."
Trista gave me a look that said I was in for one hell of a ride. "So who is this person that's going to help me?" I said standing up. Trista looked at me for a second and then took out a piece of paper and wrote something down on it. She then started to walk over to me. I put my hand out for her to give me the piece of paper, but Trista just walked pass my hand a came to within three inches from my face, I started to blush as I started to feel the veins in my nose start to shake. I could smell her perfume as she stood there. She smelled like cinnamon. I couldn't help but take a small whiff of her perfume. "Do you like my smell?" Trista whispered in my ear. "You d-do have a nice sent to you." I said looking away at the wall. "Aww, thank you Mr. Ownby." Trista said is she slid her hand down into my pants pocket and putting the peace of paper in it. "I'm sorry but I have to go now!" I yelled grabbing my nose and opening the door. "Thank you for the file Trista, bye!" I said running out the door and headed for the front door of the police station.
"...Well that turned out better than I thought it would." Trista said leaning against the door. "This is going to be more fun than I thought." Trista said giving a very seductive smile...
Wednesday October 19th 1977 1:09 P.M. Walking through the front door of the office, I took a seat next to Michelle's desk. I felt like my feet were about to fall off from jogging back to the office. "So how did that little talk go?" Michelle said as she was sorting some papers. I hold up Darien's file. "You got it, well look at you Mr. Ownby." Michelle said standing up and putting some folders away. "So what did you have to do to get it?" She said sitting back down.
"I don't want to talk about it..." I said looking up at the ceiling. "Let me guess... Trista tried to put the moves on you with...rose scented perfume?" Michelle said looking at me. "Try cinnamon." I said holding my head in my hand. "Well it seems she's trying new things these days."
"Wait... what do you mean by new things?" I said with a confused look on my face.
"Well... Trista likes nice and kind people, that's how she always gets what she wants." Michelle said sorting some papers. "Well she showed me her legs and she almost gave me a bloody nose."
"Really?" Michelle said with a shocked look on her face. "What's wrong?"
"Trista almost never shows her legs to someone unless..."
"Unless... what?"
"Oh never mind, It's probably nothing." Michelle said getting back to her papers. "Well I had to agree to help her with the Jadeite case."
"Well you're going to have your hands full now."
"Don't worry, Trista said there was someone already working the case and I'm going to help her." I said standing up. "What's her name?"
"I don't know, Trista did give me a piece of paper though." I take out the piece of paper and look at it. "Huh...that's weird."
"What is it?"
"There's no name but directions to a night club called the silver millennium."
"Really? maybe you're supposed to meet her there tonight." Michelle said sitting there with her arms folded over each other. "Well it does say to be there at 9:30." I said putting the paper back in my pocket. "Well it seems that you got your whole night planed out Mr. Ownby."
"Ya, I'd better read Darien's file and hope I get something after all I went through to get this." I said getting up. Then a thought struck my mind. "Hey Michelle? Do we have the profile of a Miss Amy Mizuno?"
"Well let's take a look and see." Michelle said as she got up and started looking through her file cabinet. "Here you go Mr. Ownby." Michelle said handing me a file. "Thank you Michelle." I said grabbing the file. "Anytime." Michelle said with a smile on her face as I headed up the stairs to my office. I walked in and closed the door behind me and sat down. I now had two files to go through and I'm supposed to meet this partner of mine tonight at 9:30. "Well now, let's see If Darien can help me out a little bit." I said opening his file.
Darien Shields, Age 21, Cancer, 6 feet 2 inches, Blood type A, Black hair, blue eyes, 180 Pounds, Went to oxford, studied in economics, Join the Marines at 18, Left in 1975 due to head trauma, Join the F.B.I on a recommendation, Married to Serena Tsukino, No children. I scanned the file looking for any last know associates. Then I found what I was looking for. Jadeite the 3rd. Now it was official, Darien had something to do with Jadeite. I need info about this mad man. I get up and walk over to the door and open it.
"Hey Michelle?" I yelled downstairs. "Yes Mr. Ownby?" Michelle yelled back. "Do we the file on a Mr. Jadeite the 3rd?!"
"Give me a minute, I'll check!"
"Okay!" I closed the door and walked back over to my desk and sat back down. "Well I might as well check on you Ms. Mizuno." I said opening Amy's file.
Amy Mizuno, Age 16, 5 feet 4 inches, Virgo, Blue hair, Light blue eyes, 118 Pounds. Almost went to Harvard for a four year scholarship. Rumored I.Q. of at least 300. My jaw drops a little. "Wow..." I said stunned. "Mina sure knows how to pick her friends." I said to myself. Just then Michelle walks through the door. "Did you find it?"
"Sorry Samuel, but I don't have the file of a Mr. Jadeite."
"Ok, thanks Michelle." Michelle closes the door and walks back to her desk. After I finished reading Amy's file, I leaned back in my chair to figure out my next move. I'm going to need more info on Jadeite. then I remembered what Trista said to me. I have access to all their files at the station, they have more files then I do. so chances are they will have Jadeite's file. I didn't really want to back there today and have to deal with Trista again. I guess I can get it tomorrow, after all there's no rush. Not to mention I have to go to a nightclub tonight on top of that. I knew what I had to do now. I got up and looked at the clock. It was already 2:33 so I still had seven hours. I went downstairs to see Michelle.
"Hey Michelle?" I said walking up to her desk. "Yes Mr. Ownby?" Michelle said looking up from her papers. "How long do you think it would take for you to copy Darien's file to are file records?" I said handing her Darien's file. "Oh, about 30 minutes, it depends."
"Depends on what?" Michelle gives me a faint smile. "It depends on if you can go to the store and get my groceries for me." I give her a look of anguish, "Are you serious?" Michelle just kept smiling at me. "...Fine."
"Great, here's your list." Michelle said handing me a piece of paper. I grabbed the paper and started to read it. "Two oranges, a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a box of captain crunch, two cans of tomato soup and a box of..." My eyes bulge. "Tampons!?" I looked at Michelle who was looking at Darien's file. "Michelle!?"
"What Mr. Ownby?" Michelle said all innocent. "I'm not buying you tampons!" I yelled back. "Yes you are if you want Darien's file on record." Michelle said handing me 20 dollars. I looked at her and then the list. "I'll be back..." I said yanking the 20 dollars out of her hand. "Thank you Samuel, you're such a nice guy." Michelle said as she started to giggle as I walked out the door to the nearest K-mart.
Wednesday October 19th 1977 3:13 P.M. After walking away as fast as I could from the cashier who was looking at me like I was some kind of lunatic, I stepped outside and turned a corner. I was still trying to get the fact out of my head on what I just bought that I didn't see the person I just walked into. Both our bags drop on the floor. "Oww!" A girl's voice said. I held the back of my head, rubbing it a little. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you." I said looking up. My heart almost stopped when I saw the girl standing in front of me. She stood around 5 feet 10 inches and was wearing a knee length light green skirt and green like boots. She was wearing a white button up T-shirt and her brunette hair was up in a ponytail held up by a piece of string. And she was wearing a pair of red rose earrings. "Oh man, my books are all over the floor." The girl said frantically trying to pick them up. "I'm sorry, let me help you." I said picking up some of her books and handing them to her. After helping her get all her books back, She looks at me smiling. "Thank you so much." She said putting some of her books in her backpack. "It's the least I could do, it was my fault after all, are you ok?"
"It's no problem, and ya I'm ok." She said giving me smile. My heart started to race a little bit. "You sure are a kind person, not a lot of men admit when they make a mistake to a girl."
"Ya, well I'm not like most men. I saw some of your books, you're into cooking?"
"Ya, it keeps me calm and from not breaking stuff." She said with a smile on her face.
"Nice. umm, if you don't mind me asking, but why were you running?" Her mood chance in a second into a more serious one. "Well... I was running from a group of guys who were chasing me." She said looking at me. "Really? why is that?" I asked. "Those sick men!" She said squeezing her backpack. "There a gang of boys who have nothing better to do but try to hit on girls who leave the school."
"Really? wow..." I said a little shocked "Yes. but what's worse, sometimes if you don't agree to go out with them, they hit you a few times." My eyes started to dilate when I heard her say that. "What!?, they got some nerve!" I said squeezing my hand. "Ya. they don't really mess with me since the last time I gave one of them a black eye." She said as I looked at her. "You're a fighter?"
"Yep." She said holding her left fist in the air. "If anybody tries to mess with me or my friends, I'll bash their skulls in!" She said punching the air. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "What's so funny?" She said looking at me. "Oh nothing, It's just nice to see that you fight for what's precious to you." I said giving her a smile. She seemed to be taking back by what I said. "You know, you're the first guy who has ever said that to me." She said giving me a warm smile. But before we could say anything else, we heard someone yelling.
"Hey, there she is!" We look back and see a group of five guys who look no older then seventeen running towards us. "Oh no, they found me!" She said with a worried voice. I knew I just met this girl, but I wasn't about to let some horny guys beat her up. "Hurry, follow me!" I said grabbing her hand and running up the street.
Wednesday October 19th 1977 3:44 P.M. After turning into an alleyway. we ran to the end and ducked behind a dumpster. "Shh, stay quiet." I said holding her close to me. I could feel her heart pounding against my chest. Little did I know was that she was blushing a little bit as she leaned against my chest.
"Come on, I think they went down one of these alleys!" One of the boys said. "We better wait here for a little bit." I said to her. "O-okay." She said a little shy. I couldn't help but sniff her hair. It smelled like a felled of Lilac's. Nobody said anything for about a minute.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" I said looking down at her. "Sure, what is it?" She said not looking up at me. "Didn't you say you could take these guys on?"
"Well I could, but before there were only three of them but now they added two more guys to their party, and I can't take on all of them."
"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." I said pulling her closer to me. I could feel her heart pounding through her chest as she blushed more.
"Ok, it's time for you to come out little lady!" A boy's voice rang through the alley. The footsteps of five men got louder as I had to think of something fast to keep her safe. I stood up with the girl behind me as I confronted the bullies. "Well well, what do we have here?" The guy in the front says to me. I stood there with my hand behind my back, telling her to stay behind me. "Look here shorty, give us the girl and we might let you walk away." The leader said holding a basketball with his left hand and pointing to her with his other. "You think it's alright to pick on an innocent girl?" I said pointing my finger at him. "We don't care about her feelings, all we want is to have a little fun with her. After all, that's all girls are good for." They all stared to laugh.
"You... monsters..." I said grinding my teeth as my eyes started to dilate. "If you want her, you're going to have to go through me!" I said making a fighting stance. "Oh, the little boy thinks he's a tough guy, ok fine then, I show you a real man's power!" He said as he started walking towards me.
"Don't do this Mr!" She said grabbing my arm. "You don't have to do this!" I looked at her and I could tell see was scared for me. I smiled at her. "Don't worry, I can take care of myself." I said walking up to the group of men.
"I can't stand by and watch you take your unhappiness out on this lovely girl, so I'm going to have to teach you boys a lesson." I said as everything started to slow down. "Ha, let's see if you're still saying that while I'm stepping on your face!" He yelled as he took the first swing. By now my heart rate was over 136 beats per minute. so I was able to see him punching with ease. I catch his hand with my left hand. "What!?" He said As I started to squeeze his hand. "My turn..."
I said looking him in his eyes. Pulling his hand towards me, I elbowed him in his face with my right elbow. Causing him to fall to the floor screaming. "Ahhhgh! Get him!"
Three of them rush me. Focusing my thoughts, I planned out my next attack. The first guy goes for a right swing, I pushed his fist away with my right hand as I swing my left arm strait and chop his neck with my left hand, he falls down and I bend foreword and start to spin. As I do, the 2nd guy goes for a left jab. Coming up from the spin I go for a jump spin kick to his left check with my right leg, still spinning right, I take my left hand and give the last guy and punch to his left forehead.
"Look out!" She said to me as I turn back to the front to see the last guy grabbing a chain of the ground. "I'll fix that face of yours!" He screams as the swings the chain around him, He runs towards me and swings the chain down word at me. I lift my left arm up word and let the chain wrap around my arm.
"What! why you-" But before he could say anything else, I grab the chain that was wrapped around my left arm with my left hand and pull the chain down and smashed this face against my left knee as he fell to the floor screaming and holding his noise as blood came pouring out of it.
The leader gets back up and faces me as he pulls out a small knife. "Arghh!" He screams as he rushes me swinging a 4 inch knife at my face with his right hand, cutting me on my cheek. I touch my cheek and look at the blood on my finger. "Now I'm going to finish this..." I said walking up to him.
He goes for a foreword thrust with the knife. I push his knife to his left with my right hand and grabbing his right hand, I hold it in place and take my left palm and smash it against his arm breaking it in two places "AGHHH!" He screams as I lift my left foot up and slam it on his right leg breaking it in half. "AGRGHHRH!" And with one final blow with my left elbow to his noise, I knock him down to the ground so he could join his friends.
After standing over the mess I made for a few seconds, I turn around to see if she was alright. "Are you, *pant* ok?" I said gasping for air. She didn't say anything as she looked on in astonishment. I turned around to see the leader trying to crawl out if the alley. I walk over and pick up his knife and his basketball and walk over to him. "Please don't... k-kill... m-me." He said looking as if he was almost going to piss his pants. I turned him around and slammed his basketball on his stomach and lift up this knife and slammed it into his basketball. Stopping just an inch from this stomach. I lean down and look him in his face.
"If you ever... go hear her again... or any of the other girls at the school... then next time I'm going to deflate all of your balls... got it?" I said looking him dead in his eye. He nods slowly at me. "Good..." I said standing back up. By now, the others were getting up and trying to leave. "Hey!" I yelled at them. they all turn and look back at me. "Aren't you guys forgetting something?" I said pointing to their leader on the floor who was lying in a puddle of his own pee. They pick up their leader and ran away as fast as there broken bodies could move. The girl seem to finally come to as she started to walk over to me.
"That... was... awesome!" She said walking towards me. "I never knew anybody beside me could fight like that!" She said looking at me with a smile. "you're amazing! thank you so much Mr?"
"Oh, I totally forgot to introduce myself." I said turning around towards her holding out my left hand. "I'm Samuel Ownby." I said smiling a little. "Nice to meet you Samuel, I'm Lita, Lita Kino." Lita said shaking my hand. "Ahhgh!" I said falling to one knee clutching my left arm. "Are you ok?" Lita said holding my arm. Lita pulls up my sleeve to reveal that the chain rip some of my skin off when it wrapped around my arm. "Oh no! your arm!" Lita said holding my arm. "It's not that bad." I said trying to put on a smile. "This is all my fault!" Lita said ripping a piece of her shirt off and wrapping it around my arm. "Don't worry about it." I said standing up. "Don't be silly Samuel! Come with me to my house and I'll fix you up ok?" She said holding my arm and started walking out of the alley. "Umm... ok." I said grabbing my bag as I started to follow her to her house...
