Friday October 21st 1977 4:21 P.M. Walking up the steps to a white and blue house on the edge of town, I ranged the doorbell and waited. The door opens to the sight of Serena wearing blue shorts and a striped red and white shirt.
"Samuel? what brings you here?" Serena said a little shocked. "Well I thought I would just stop by and see how you were holding up and fill you in on the case so far."
"Sure, come in." Serena said letting me enter. Her house was almost as big as the office and it had an upstairs. Walking into the kitchen, Serena got out some cups from the cabinet. "Would you like some apple juice Samuel?" Serena said grabbing some from the fridge. "Sure." I said taking a set at the table. "Meow." A little voice said coming from the floor. I looked down to see a cute little black cat looking up at me wagging its tail. I start to pet it as It rubbed against my had. *purrr* "Cute cat." I said still petting it. "Thanks, her name is Luna." Serena said pouring two cups of juice and sitting down at the table to the left of me. "Here you go." Serena said handing me a cup. "Thanks." I said as I stopped petting Luna and looking back at Serena and took the cup.
"So what's the news? have you found where Darien is?" Serena said with a little hope in her voice. "I'm sorry Serena, but we haven't found Darien yet." I said taking a sip. "Oh..." Serena said looking down at the table. "Don't worry, I will find him...I promise." I said looking at her. She seemed to feel a little better. "Thanks... anyway, do you know where Mina is? she wasn't at school today." Serena said taking a sip of her juice. "It's a long story..." I said looking down at my cup. "What happened?" Serena said looking at me. So for the next ten minutes, I told Serena about how Mina got hurt in an alleyway and her mom thought I did it and how she didn't want me to see her and I did and how she left because of it.
"Oh my." Serena said putting her hand over her mouth. "I knew she got hurt but I didn't even think she was hurt that bad."
"Ya well, because of her mom, she had to go to her grandparents for a while." I said sipping the last drop of juice from my cup. "Well don't worry! Mina will come back!" Serena's said smiling at me. "I hope... I hope." I said standing up.
Walking over to the sink and putting my cup away, I saw a paper on the fridge that caught my eye. "What's this?" I said grabbing the piece of paper off the magnet. It was a paper with some kind of mining spots on it. "Oh that? that was something Darien had in his suitcase, he put it on the table when he got home that night." Serena said walking up to me. It had dots on a few buildings around town. "Why did you not tell me about this before Serena?" I said looking at her. "Well I forgot about it and when I got home I found it. but you said you would call me, so I thought I would tell you when you called." I let out a sigh. "I'm going to have to take this." I said folding it up and putting it in my pocket. "Well I guess you can." Serena said. "What does that paper have to do with Darien?"
"I'm not sure, but it will help me find out about some people who might have him." I said looking at her.
"Oh, that's good then!" Serena said smiling at me. "Hey Serena?" I said looking at her. "Ya?"
"There's just one thing I don't get."
"What's that?"
"If they did take Darien, then they must have known that he was married, so if that's the case, then why didn't they just kill you or take you too?" I said looking at her. "Hmm, I don't know." Serena said scratching her head. "Hisss!" Luna started to hiss at the door as I looked at her. "What's wrong Luna?" Serena said looking at Luna. *click, click, click, click ,click* "What was that?" Serena said looking around. "Oh shit..." I said looking out the kitchen window to the sight of nine men with machine guns standing in the front yard. "Get down!" I yelled grabbing Serena and pulling her down to the floor as they let loose with bullets.
*BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG* I'm holding Serena under the sink as the bullets ripped through the glass of the window and the tiles on the counter as they came falling in top of us. After what felt like a whole minute, the shooting stopped. As my eyes started to dilate, I looked down at Serena. "Serena! are you ok!?" I said looking down at Serena who was scared stiff. I reached for my holster and felt nothing there "Shit!" I yelled looking back down at Serena. "Serena! look at me!" I said lifting her head up. Serena just kept looking around like she didn't know where she was. "Serena! Where does Darien keep his guns!?" I said looking her in her eyes. "Up... room..." Serena said looking at the floor. I knew I would never make it up the stairs with the both of us. "Serena, stay her and don't move!" I said looking her in her eyes. Serena nods slowly at me.
Crawling along the floor, I poked my head around the corner and saw they were moving closer to the house. I would only get one shot at this so I grabbed a book off the floor and threw it into the living room as it bounced of the living room window. *BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG* As they were shooting the living room up, I ran up the stairs. One of them saw me and started to shoot at the stairs. *BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG* I dove into the bedroom as a few bullets went through the door just above my head. I slammed the door closed and started to looked around for the guns. I knew I only had one minute till they came into the house.
Running around the room to the closet, I threw the doors open and started to dig around. Opening a shoe box, I found a 9mm with two clips. Picking them up, I loaded it and put the other clip in my back pocket. pulling out the drawer, I found a few 10 gauge shells. Grabbing and throwing them on the bed, I looked under the bed and found the shotgun. Pulling it out, I loaded the 5 shells I had found and pumped it. Putting the 9mm in my holster, I ran over to the phone and picked it up. *555 1434* *Ring, ri-* "Hello?"
"Trista!?" I yelled. "Oh, hey Samuel, what's up?"
"Get over to 213 south 2nd street right now!" I yelled into the phone. "What's wrong?" Trista said getting worried. "I need hel-!" *BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG* A few bullets came up through the floor of the room and riddled the stand the phone was on and two went through the phone as I was holding it, and one bullet went through the curve of skin in between my index and thumb of my left hand. "Aghhah! I screamed in pain as I fell to the ground and squeezing my left hand in pain, I knew they were in the house. "They must have heard me on the phone, which means... oh no, Serena!?" I said getting up and walking to the window. I started to breathe heavily when I saw two men caring Serena away. "Let me go!" Serena yelled as she was kicking and screaming. The two men threw her into the back of a black SUV.
"Samuel! help meee!" Serena screamed out the window as the car drove off. "Serena!" I yelled banging on the window which cracked it a little. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and turned around and looked at the door. Grabbing the shotgun off the bed with my left hand, I grind my teeth, trying to fight the pain my hand was causing me. I could barely squeeze my thumb as I put my index finger on the trigger of the shotgun. I walked over and stood next to the door on the wall, my heart rate was over 145 as the door started to open.
"Anybody home?" The man said walking into the room. "Hey." I said as the guy turned around and looked right down the barrel the shotgun. "What's up?" I said pulling the trigger. *BANG!* He flew across the room and landed on the dresser. The kick from the shotgun was to much for my busted hand and it snapped my thumb out of socket. "Agghhh! I yelled as I heard someone else running up the stairs. Putting the shotgun in my right hand, I pumped it and flipped it around the bedroom door and pulled the trigger with the gun facing down the stairs. *BANG!* As I heard the man falling down the stairs, two more started to shoot threw the bedroom floor. Running out of the room, I dove across the hallway into the other bedroom as they started to come up the stairs. Getting up, I pumped the shotgun and ran over and bashed out the window leading to the roof. I clammed out onto the roof as they ran into the bedroom.
"Where did he go!?" One of them said. "Check the closest!" The other guy said as I stood there listing to them. *BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG* As they shot up the closest, I peeked in the window and shot the first man standing in front of the closest. *BANG* I pump the shotgun as the 2nd guy turns to face me. *BANG* "He's on the roof!" Someone said on the ground. I dove back into the bedroom as they started to shoot the roof, I limped to the stairs and peeked the gun around corner again. I shoot the last shell to make sure no one was on the stairs. Throwing the shotgun to the side, I pulled out the 9mm from my holster and started to walk down the stairs.
With my heart rate over 160, I saw every little detail of my surroundings, I saw one guy running through the front door. Aiming down the sights, I shot four times, all made their mark. Two through the liver, one through he's left lung and one through his spine. As he fell, another one pops out from the side of the door and throws something into the house which landed about a foot in front of me. I looked down at it as I saw what it was. "Oh shit..." I said. I kicked a table over. I dove behind the table covering my head.
*BOOM!* I flew back about 4 feet into the living room and started to clutch my chest, gasping for air. I tried to stand up but I couldn't. Everything was ringing as I saw other one walk in. I aimed at him but with everything spinning, I didn't know how many times I shot him. I saw him fall to the ground and that was good enough for me. As the ringing started to stop I heard sirens getting louder. "It's about time..." I said slowly standing up and limping to the window. As the police cars pulled up, I saw Trista step out and draw her gun. Standing in front of some SWAT members with their guns pointed at the house.
Trista grabs her radio. "This is Trista Meioh of the Chicago Police Department! Put the gun down and get on the ground!" I heard Trista yelled as one of the men points his gun at her. "Go to hell!" He yelled as Trista and her friends riddled him full of holes. After he fell, I started to limp out the door and walk down the steps. "Put the gun down!" Someone yelled at me. "Hold your fire!" Trista said raising her hand.
*They stand down* "Samuel! are you alright!?" Trista yelled running over. As I looked at her, out of the corner of my eye. I saw a guy pointing his gun at Trista's head from behind a tree. "TRISTAAA!" I screamed running at her as blood started to run down my nose and a faint green light seemed to be emanating from my chest. Then something happened. not sense that night... I lost control of my actions. I wasn't in control of my body. As everything slowed down, the man seemed to glow red as I lifted my hand upward as it got half way up. And just for a split second, I saw a man in a white robe.
standing where Trista was standing. He looked in his mid-30's. I saw him standing over a woman's body on the ground, covered in blood. I saw him with a blade sticking out from his wrist as he looked down at her body. As the image seamed to dissolve away, I saw myself point the gun up and to the right and... *BANG!* As I stood there watching the bullet leaving my gun, I looked at Trista who had a deer in the headlight look as the bullet slowly passed her head missing her by about a inch or two and right into the man's mouth as it ripped through his head leaving out the back of his head.
Everything seemed to speed up back to normal as Trista just stood there. in shock at the fact that she didn't even know what happened. I stood there thinking to myself what the hell just happened. I was to busy that I didn't notice the last guy run up behind me. I turned just as he shot at me. The bullet went through my left side. I fell to the ground clutching my side screaming as Trista shot her last five rounds out of her mag into his chest. One through his left lung, two through his right lung and two through his heart as he fell down dead.
"Samuel!" Trista yelled running over to me. I started to drift into unconscious as Trista just hovered over me with tears running down her face and falling into mine...
Friday October 21st 1977 11:09 P.M. Waking up to a beeping noise. I looked around to see where I was. My vision was blurry, but I saw someone resting their head next to my arm. As my vision started to clear up, I saw it was a girl with brunette hair sleeping. As I leaned up, I looked around some more and saw the T.V. was on.
"And after the shootout, everybody got together outside the house with candles to wish that Serena will come back safe and sound. Tune in tomorrow and we will talk to a neighbor who saw everything. In other news, the Pretty guardian in a sailor suit, Sailor V has gone Missing, with her absence, crime has gone up by 27% what does this means for the city? only time will tell. back to you Tim." Turning the T.V. off, I heard someone moving around next to me.
"Mm, mmmm..." Lita looks up at me. "Samuel!?" Lita said getting big eyed at me. "Your awake!" Lita said hugging me. "Oww!" I said pulling her off of me. "Oh, Sorry Samuel." Lita said grabbing a cub off the table. "Where am I?" I said looking around. "You're at the Saint George Hospital." Lita said pouring a cup of water. "Here, drink this." Lita said handing me a glass of water. "The Doctor said you need water in your system." I take the glass from Lita. "Ok." *gulp* *gulp*
Holding the glass in my hand, I turned to face Lita who was smiling at me. "How long was I out?"
"About 6 hours." Lita said getting up and walking over to the window. "Samuel... what happened to you when you were in that shootout?"
"What do you mean?" I said facing her. "When that guy was going to shoot that woman. what came over you?" Lita said turning to me with a serious look on her face. "I..." I had a quick flashback to the vision I had to the man in the white robe. "...don't know." I said looking down. "Hey, how do you even know about that?" I said looking at Lita. "Oh well... I asked that lady when I got here." Lita said smiling at me. Somehow I wasn't buying it, but now was not the time to be wondering about stupid things like that.
Just then the door opened and a nurse walked in. "Well your up sooner than we thought." The nurse said walking over to the bed and looking at the clipboard hanging off of the bed. "Will Samuel be able to leave soon?" Lita said looking a little sad. "Well, we would like to keep him overnight, just to make sure he's ok." The nurse said checking some things off from her chipboard. "I'll be back in the morning." The nurse said closing the door. Lita walks back over to the chair and sits down. "Hey Lita, how did you know I was even here?" I said looking at her. Lita seemed to freeze at the very question. After a few seconds Lita looks at me.
"I was watching the T.V. and saw you being carried away, so I called that lady who was crying over you and she said you were coming here." Lita said smiling at me. "Oh…ok." I said looking at her, trying to read her mind. "Well I better get back to my house and let you rest up." Lita said getting up. "I'll stop by tomorrow and see if you're feeling better to leave." Lita said walking over to the door. Lita opens the door as I look over at her. "Hey Lita?"
"Yes?" Lita said turning to me. "How long were you laying there, waiting for me to wake up?"
"About 3 hours." I smiled at her. "You know you shouldn't worry over someone like me." Lita turns around and whispers to herself. "Well it's your fault for making me fal- "
"Lita, I can't hear you." I said scratching my head. Lita blushes bright red. "Oh, never mind! just thinking to myself! bye Samuel!" Lita said waving to me and closing the door. I let out a small smile. "Thank you Lita..." As I lay back down, I start to think to myself that Lita is hiding something from me. "There's more to Lita then I thought..." I said looking up at the fan spinning.
As the fan spun, I thought to myself how I let Serena get kidnapped. In the last 24 hours I lost two people who were my friends. I looked over at the night stand and pulled open the drawer. Inside was my gun and my necklace. I hold up my necklace as I thought to myself about what that light was that I saw when blood was dripping from my nose. "What am I doing? Should I stop before more people get hurt because of me?" The four seamed to slowly start to spin as I held it up to the moonlight coming in from the window. The four sparkled faintly for a few seconds. Putting it on the night stand, I turned back over and tried to fall asleep, hoping I would feel better tomorrow morning...
Saturday October 22nd 1977 9:44 A.M. I woke up to the sound of the T.V. on the news channel. "With two people lives on the line, we hope that Trista will take action soon." *click* As the T.V turned off, I looked over to the left of me and saw Michelle sitting in a chair with a remote in her hands.
"Well it seems you bit off more than you can chew Mr. Ownby." Michelle said turning to me smiling. Michelle puts her hand on my forehead. "How are you feeling Samuel?" I turned and looked out the window just thinking to myself. "She gone Michelle..." I said softly. "I know. I saw it on T.V." Michelle said putting her hand on my shoulder. "Samuel, you did your best."
"But even then, it still wasn't enough to save her." I said leaning up. "Should I stop Michelle?" I said looking down at my bed. Michelle just sat there. staring at me like I already knew the answer. "Samuel, you and I both know that you're not going to give up. yes, you loss two of your friends but if you quit now, then you'll end up losing even more people who are close to you. I mean what would Mina say if she heard you right now?" Michelle said folding her arms. I looked over at Michelle. "Please Michelle, don't start with me." I said cupping my eyes. "Samuel you just can't keep putting this off."
"Oh, and why not?" I said giving her a look. "it seems to be working so far..."
"Samuel, I know Mina's mom is cruel to you and she is not nice, but it's her fault for taking Mina away from you, not yours."
"I wish I just knew why Mina's mom hates me so much, it's not like I ever did anything to her." I said bending my knees and putting my chin on them. "Samuel. Mina's mom would rather feel self-justified in her rage towards you then come to see that you're a great man, you just need to hope she comes to her senses one day."
"Well, I've been waiting ten years so I guess I can wait another ten..." I said laying back down. It went quite for a few minutes before someone said something. Michelle turned the T.V. back on and turned it to the sports channel. "How long were you waiting for me to wake up?" I said looking up at her. "Maybe an hour, I came as soon as I heard what happened to you." Michelle said smiling at me. "When you didn't answer your phone I got worried and called Trista who told me what happened to you."
I just laid there thinking about what I put Trista through. The door opens and the nurse walks in. "Well your up early Samuel." The nurse said walking over to the bed. "Well we took a look at your gun wound and your hand and you should be fine as long as you don't have another panic attack." The nurse said checking something off on the chipboard. "So does that mean I can go?" I said looking at her. "Just wait a few more hours and you can go." The nurse said leaving the room.
"Well I better go." Michelle said standing up. "Where are you going?" I said looking up at her. "Well somebody has to go watch the office till you show up." Michelle said walking over to the door. "But Michelle, I told you, you could have today off." I said looking at her as Michelle opens the door. "Well who said I was going to do any work today?" Michelle said winking at me. I rolled my eyes. "Rest up and I'll see you later." Michelle said smiling and closing the door. I let out a sigh and fell back down onto my pillow. "This is so not worth 200$ a case." I said closing my eyes...
Saturday October 22nd 1977 11:54 A.M. Finishing a bowl of oat meal, I heard the door open. "Ok Mr. Ownby, you are cleared for checkout." The nurse said walking in. "That lady left these for you." The nurse said putting a suit on the night stand. "Do you have anyone that can help you out of here?" I thought to myself for a second when I heard a voice coming from the door.
"He has me." I looked up to see Lita standing there in the doorway wearing a green shirt and light blue pants. "Ok then miss, I'll leave him to you." The nurse said walking out the door. Lita walks over to me and smiles. "Well you're looking a lot better."
"Ya, well I feel a little tipsy." I said getting out of bed. "Agh..." I said clutching my hip. "Are you ok Samuel?" Lita said a little worried. "I'll be ok." I said smiling. I grabbed the suit off the night stand and started to limp to the bathroom. I put the suit on the counter top and walked back to the bathroom door holding my side. As I get to the door, I saw Lita blushing. "What's up Lita?" I said looking at her. "Well... sense your hurt, do you think you might need some help getting dress?" Lita said blushing and putting her hands behind her back. I started to blush. "No no, I can do it by myself." I said grabbing the door handle. "...Are you sure?" Lita said blushing more. "YES, I'm sure." I said closing the door. After getting the hospital clothes off, I looked at my wound on my hand and then I looked at my side. They were both purple and black. After wrapping my side up with a new bandage, I put my suit on and opened the door.
"Ok, I'm ready to go." I said limping out the bathroom. "Ok, I'll walk you to your office." Lita said opening the door. "Ok." I said as I grabbed my gun and necklace off the table and walked out the door. Walking like normal was much too hard for me at the moment, so Lita grabbed my right hand and put it over her. I started to blush. "Thanks Lita..." Lita blushes as well. "Sure thing..."
As we were walking to the front door, people were smiling at us and others were giving me a death glare. I wonder why... Finally getting out of the hospital, we started to walk down the street. "Thanks for helping me Lita." I said looking at her. "Don't be silly, I'm more than happy to help you." Lita said smiling. "Is there anything I can do to replay you?" Lita thought for a second and got big eyed and blushed bright red, She shook it off and looked away from me. "Don't worry about it Samuel, you already taking me to dinner tonight so there's no need." Lita said looking at me. "Oh, ok then." I said smiling at her. After about 10 more minutes of walking, we get to my office.
"Well here we are." I said letting go of Lita. "So this is where you work?" Lita said scanning the place with her eyes. "Yep." I said limping over to the door. "Can I take a look inside?" Lita said getting excited. "Ummm..." I knew Michelle would so embarrass me in front of Lita. "Well, it's really dirty right now so maybe next time ok?" I said trying to put on a smile. "Aww, I don't mind." Lita said walking up to the door. "Wait!" I said standing in front of the door and opening my arms. "Shouldn't you be in school right now?" I said trying to change the subject. "Oh no!" Lita said getting scared. "I forgot! I was supposed to be back before the lunch bell went off! I got to go Samuel! bye!" Lita said waving as she ran off to the school. "Whew... that was close." I said opening the door and limping in.
Michelle was marking something on the Calendar as I walked over to the stairs. "Good morning Mr. Ownby." Michelle said looking over at me. "I'm glad you were able to make it back in one piece."
"Ya, well I had a little help from my friend." I said slowly walking up the stairs. "Let me guess... Lita?" Michelle said sitting back down. "Yep."
"Isn't she supposed to be in school?"
"Well she came over at lunch and it took us a little longer to get back." I said halfway up the stairs. "You mean she was right outside the door?"
"Ya, she wanted to come in but I told her the place was messy."
"Awww, I wanted to meet her." Michelle said putting her chin on her hand which was resting on her desk. "Well you will meet her soon, but I have to get ready to go have dinner with her tonight." I said getting to the top of the stairs. "Well you better hope your hungry later."
"I always am." I said walking into my office. *click* I Sat down slowly so not to hurt myself. I took a sigh of relief. I looked up at the clock and saw it was ten till one. I knew I would have to take it easy for the next few days. So I just sat there for a little bit, wondering what Mina was doing right now. After a few minutes, I opened my drawer. I saw a piece of paper folded up. I grabbed it and opened it up. It was the paper I took from Serena's house. Looking over it, I saw it had marks on a few buildings and house's around town. "Just what are you people up to?" I said to myself as I told myself that I would show Trista the paper the next time I saw her. I put the Piece of paper in my pocket and put my head on the back of my chair. I figured I would take a short nap so I would be ready for my dinner date with Lita.
Saturday October 22nd 1977 6:28 P.M. After I got done loading my 45 auto, I got up and slowly walked downstairs. "Hey Michelle, When did you find this note?" I said pulling the piece of paper out of my pocket. "Oh that? well when the nurse gave me your clothes, that fell out so I put it in your drawer when I got here this afternoon."
"Oh ok, thanks." I said getting to the bottom of the stairs. "Well I'm going over to see Trista and then I'm going to go get ready for tonight with Lita." I said walking over to the door. "Well I'm going home anyway so I'll drive you there." Michelle said getting up and grabbing her keys off the desk. "Are you sure?" I said opening the door. "Of course, you're in no shape to walk anywhere." Michelle said walking to the door.
As Michelle locks the door, I walk over to her car and hop in. Michelle hops in a few seconds later and starts the car and drives off. As we were driving, I got the feeling that something was on Michelle's mind. "Penny for your thought?" Michelle smug's at me. "Well if you want to know... I was wondering what restaurant you were going to tonight." Michelle said looking at me. "You know, I don't know. Lita said it was going to be a surprise." I said looking out the window. "Oh, sounds romantic." Michelle said smiling as I roll my eyes.
*4 minutes later* "Here we are." Michelle said pulling up in front of the station. "Are you going to be ok on your own from here? I can wait if you want." Michelle said as I stepped out of the car. "No, I'll be fine, it's only a 20-minute walk from here to my house and then a 10-minute walk to Lita's," I said closing the door. "Ok then, you be careful ok?" Michelle said putting her blinker on. "I will." I said playfully. As Michelle drove off, I slowly walked up the stairs and into the station.
Walking past the windows to the other cops offices, I could feel people looking at me. Whether out of fear or joy is anyone's guess. Limping to Trista's office, I knock on the door.
*Knock, knock* "Come in..." A voice said rather sadly. I opened the door and walked in. "Trista?" I said limping over to the desk. I saw Trista standing behind her desk with her back facing me. "Hey Samuel..." Trista said not looking back. I sat down as Trista just sat there for a few seconds before she said anything. "You know Samuel... I thought I had figured you out the other day." Trista said still not looking around. "What do you mean?" I said. Trista turns around and looks at me with the saddest pair of eyes I've seen in a long time. "Trista?" I said a little surprised. Trista gets up and walks over to me.
Samuel... no one has ever done what you did for me." Trista said getting on her knees. "Well ya, I don't think anyone else could do what I did." I said giving a faint smile. "That's not what I meant." Trista said smiling. "No one has ever risked their own life to save me..." Trista said getting watery eyed.
"Trista?" I said not sure how to respond. "I just want to thank you for risking your own life to save mine." Trista said standing up. "Well you might be a little forward but you're a girl above all else. So you deserve to be treated as one." I said standing up. Trista just stood there looking at me still looking like she was about to cry. "Samuel... are you free for lunch sometime?" Trista said trying to smile behind her tears. "..." I had no idea how to respond to that. It's not like Trista is mean but… "Just lunch and that's it?" I said giving her a look. "Yes... I want to say thank you the right way." Trista said smiling. "...What time?" I just knew I would regret this later. "I'm not sure what day yet. but would 3:00 be ok?"
"Ya... that will do" I said standing up. "I better get going. I have a few other things I need to do today." I said walking over and opening the door.
"Oh, by the way." I said turning around. "I found this paper at Serena's house." I said handing Trista the paper. "What is it?" Trista said looking at it. "It might be the places that our little group might be trying to brake into." Trista looked it over and put it on her desk. "Thanks, ill have Amara run it by with R&I later today."
"No problem." I said walking out of Trista's office. I started to limp down the hall to the front door when Trista came up from behind me. "Here, let me help you." Trista said opening the doors to the street. "Thanks." I said limping down the stairs. After getting down the stairs, Trista walks up behind me. "Where are you heading now?"
"I'm going to walk to my house." I said looking down the street. "Well let me give you a ride then." Trista said putting her hand on my shoulder. "No, it's ok." I said giving her an awkward smile. "This place is pretty rough. you won't be safe in your state. wait right here, I'll be right back." Trista said walking around the corner. The last thing I wanted was to let Trista of all people to know where I lived.
A few seconds later, I saw a dark green 72 mustang pull up to the street. the side door pops open as Trista looks at me. "Hop in." Trista said smiling. "Ok" I said getting in. I just knew I would definitely regret this later...
Pulling up to my house, I got out of Trista's car. "Thanks for the ride." I said closing the door. I tried to get up the stairs as fast as I could but I was in just too much in pain. "Damit, damit, damit..." I said to myself as Trista got out of her car and started to walk up the steps to me. "Let me give you a hand." Trista said grabbing my key from my hand and opening the door. She held the door open for me as I walked in. Trista walks in and closes the door and locks it.
"So this is where you live?" Trista said as she started to walk around the living room. "Ya... this is where I live." I said hoping she would leave soon. "Well it's not as dirty as I thought it would be." Trista said siding her finger across the top of the T.V. "Thanks." I said rolling my eyes as I walked into the kitchen. I walked over to the fridge and opened it up and pulled out some juice. I don't know why. Maybe it was because she gave me a ride, maybe because I was a nice guy, but for whatever the reason, I pulled two cups out of the drawer. "Do you want some?" I said trying not to blush. Trista licks her lips as she walks over to me and grabs the cup. "Thank you…" Trista said holding onto the cup which I was holding for a few seconds. My heart rate started to go up as we both sit down at the table.
I poured her and me a glass. As I sat there at the table, I could fell Trista scanning me with her eyes as she drank her cup. We both just sat there... Trying to read the other's mind. I looked up at the clock and saw it was already 15 till 8:00. "Well I have to get ready to go somewhere so if you will excuse me..." I said standing up and walking over to the stairs. I heard Trista get up and follow me up the stairs. I walk into my room and turn around to see Trista standing right behind me looking around my room. "So this is where you sleep?" Trista said walking over to my bed. Trista ran her hand across the top and sat down and crossed her legs and started to pounce her top leg. "What are you doing?" I said trying not to look. "I'm just seeing how soft your bed is." Trista said laying her back down and stretching over my bed. "Hmmmm so soft..." Trista said rolling round in my bed. "T-Trista! get off my bed!" I said as I started to blush. "Why? don't you want to join me?" Trista said sitting back up and waving her finger to me. "NO, I don't, I have to get ready to go somewhere in a few minutes." I said pulling a suit out of my closet.
Trista gets up and walks up behind me. "Well sense your hurt...Trista wraps her arm around my waist. "let me help you get changed." Trista said as she slid her hands up my shirt. "Trista?!" I yelled running into the bathroom and closing the door. "Aww, come on Samuel." Trista said on the other side of the door. "Trista! if you don't leave me alone then I'm not going to have lunch with you!" I said holding my nose over the sink as blood started to drip.
It went quite for a few seconds. "Ok, I'll see you later..." Trista said. It went quiet for a few seconds as I thought Trista already left. I listened against the door and could hear Trista breathing. "I know your still there Trista!" I yelled. "Ok, ok I'm going." Trista said laughing down the stairs. I started to regret letting Trista come in my house as I tried to get my nose to stop bleeding. After getting my nose to stop bleeding, I finally got dressed. I limped down the stairs and walked out the door. After locking the door I started to limp to Lita's house for our date...
