Saturday October 22nd 1977 8:02 P.M. Limping up the steps to Lita's house, I ranged the door bell and waited for Lita. After a few seconds, the door opens. Lita was wearing a green shirt under a brown coat with blue jeans and green snickers. "Hey Samuel!" Lita said walking out the door and locking it. "Are you ready for dinner?" Lita said as she started to walk down the steps. "Well I would be a little bit more ready if I knew where we were going." I said looking at her. "Ok. I guess I can tell you now." Lita said as we started to walk down the street. "We are going to a place called Luna and Artemis dine."
"Really!?" I said shocked. "That place is almost impossible to get into because all the rich people go there!" I said still shocked. "Well I had to pull a few strings." Lita said smiling. "Well I have been wondering what that place is like." I said looking up. "So tell me a little about it."
"Well they have a wonderful menu and all the people there are really nice and they even have a singer and a band too." Lita said looking at me. "Sounds nice, I can't wait to see it."
"Well you won't have to wait long." Lita said smiling and looking forward. After 8 minutes, we finally arrived at Luna and Artemis dine. Walking up to the front door, we walked through and waited to be seated. "Hello there, welcome to the Luna and Artemis dine." A man said walking up to us. "Hi, I have a reservation for two." Lita said walking up to him. "Let me check the book ma'am." The guy said opening a book on the desk. "What is your last name?"
"Kino."
"Ah, here we are. please follow me." The man said walking down the hallway. Lita followed him and I tried my best to keep up. Looking around while we were walking, I saw a lot of people who looked like there were either rich or powerful. The place was lined with silk red carpet and there where crystal chandlers all over the roof. "Here you go ma'am." The man said pointing to a booth for two. We both sit down at the table. "Here are your menus and I will have someone be with you in a moment." The man said walking away.
we both start to look through the menus. "Man, everything here is over 50$ for a plate!" I said shaking my head. "Don't worry, I'll be paying for everything tonight so pick anything you want." Lita said not looking up from her menu. "Lita, I couldn't do that to you." I said looking at her. "Don't worry, my dad sent me some money so I have enough for tonight." Lita said smiling at me. "Well ok then..." I said looking through the menu again.
After looking through the menu for a few seconds the waiter showed up. "Hello, I am your waiter for tonight. how may I take your order?" The man said holding his pen and paper. "Well I will take your chicken special." Lita said handing him her menu. "And what about you sir?" The man said turning to me. "I will take this one..." I said turning the menu and showing the waiter the menu. I was pointing to the last one on the menu. "Ah, good choose sir, the BBQ ribs." He said taking my menu. "I will have your food to you in a few minutes, until then, please enjoy the music in the lobby." The waiter said walking away.
As we both tried not to look nervous, we saw some people staring at us. They were four of them and they were acting like they knew us from somewhere. "Hey, those guys over there are looking at us." I said to Lita who looked back at them. "Oh don't mind them." Lita said looking back at me. "There new here in town and they like to intimidate people." Lita said looking at me. I don't know why... but I felt like they knew something about this case for some reason. But before I could go talk to them. One of them pulls out a walkie-talkie and listens to someone talking. He then tells everybody something and they all get up and walk away. "Well that was weird." Lita said looking at them walking away. "Well at least they're gone." Lita said looking back at me. "...Ya...sure..." I said thinking to myself.
All of a sudden, we start to hear people cheering over in the lobby. "What's all the noise over?" I said looking over the booth wall. All I could see was a group of men standing in the middle of the lobby looking at someone. There where to many to see who it was. "Must be the band that's performing." Lita said. "Here is your dinner Mr. and Ms." The waiter said putting two plates down on the table. "Thank you." We both said as the waiter nodded and walked off. "This looks good." Lita said cutting off a piece with her fork. Lita takes a bite out of her food. "Hmm! this is great!" Lita said taking another bite out of her chicken. I cut a piece out of mine and take a bite as well. "Wow, this is good." I said chewing my ribs. "How is your chicken?" I said looking up at Lita. "I like it." Lita said looking at me.
Lita starts to blush. "You... want to try it?" Lita said looking at her plate. I start to blush as well. "Umm... sure." I said smiling. Lita cuts off a piece and holds it over the table. I blush even more as I leaned over the table taking a bite. I heard some people making aww noises and giggling. "It is good..." I said looking left at the wall. "Can… I try yours?" Lita said looking at me still blushing. I took a gulp as I looked at her. "Ok..." I said picking a piece with my fork and holding it over the table. Lita takes a bite from my fork as more people start to go aww. "So do you like it?" I said looking at Lita. "It tastes wonderful..." Lita said holding her hand up to her mouth. "Ya, ribs are good." I said taking another bite of my ribs. I swear I heard Lita say not the ribs. "What did you say?"
"Oh nothing, nothing!" Lita said waving her hand in front of her face. "Excuse me sir." The waiter said walking up to me holding a plate. "This is a gift from the lady over at table three." The waiter said putting the plate down to show it had a Sunday on it. The waiter walks away as Lita gets big eyed. "Wow, this looks good!" Lita said picking up her spoon. As Lita started to eat the Sunday, I start to look around to see if I could find table three.
"Let's see... 5... 4... 3!?" I said shocked by the person I saw looking at me smiling. As she gets up and starts to walk over, I start to panic. "crap, crap, crap, crap..." I said to myself as Lita looks at me with ice cream on her face. "What's wrong Samuel?" Before I could say anything to Lita...
"Well hello, I didn't expect to see you here... Mr. Ownby." A certain lady said putting her hand on her hip while holding her purse. "Hello Michelle..." I said looking down at the table. "What are you doing here Samuel?" Michelle said folding her arms. "Samuel? who is that?" Lita said with ice cream on her mouth. "Lita... this is Michelle, my secretary..." I said looking back up so I could point to everybody. "Michelle... this is Lita Kino." *They both shake hands* "Nice to meet you Miss Kino."
"Oh, please, call me Lita." Lita said smiling and wiping her face. "So Mr. Ownby, this is where Lita was going to take you, I must admit, I didn't think you for the 5 star type of guy." Michelle said acting full of herself. "Ya, well you learn something new every day." I said rolling my eyes. "Wait... why are you here Michelle?" Michelle got quite really quick. "Oh you know just... seeing how the food is." Michelle said looking behind her. "How could you even get in here?"
"Well I put a reservation in and I got in."
"You and I both know you would never have enough money to get in here." I said leaning my back on the booth. "Oh? and how would you know that?" Michelle said putting her hands on her hips. "I'm the one who pays you..." I said giving her a look. Michelle didn't know how to respond. But before I could say anything ease, Someone else decided to join the party.
"Hey Michelle, what are you doing ove-" Was all she could say before we saw each other. "Amara!?" I yelled as my jaw dropped open. Everyone went quite. Lita was looking at everyone, not sure what was going on. Michelle was blushing bright red and looking away at the wall. Amara was also blushing, but not as much as Michelle, And I was just sitting there. wondering what was going on. After about a good minute, Lita finally said something.
"So Samuel, do you know her too?" She said pointing at her. "Why yes I do..." I said folding my arms. "She is my partner for the case I'm working on." I said looking right at her. "So what are you doing here Amara?" I said turning my head. "W-well I thought I would just come and get something to eat." Amara said putting her hand behind her head. "With Michelle?" I said raising a eyebrow. "Well..." Amara said not really sure how to respond.
"Ok, look." I said raising my hand. "Let's talk about this later, we all are trying to have a goodnight here so let's not ruin it now." I said looking at Michelle. "Good point." Amara said turning around. "I'll wait at the table." Amara said to Michelle as she starts to walk away.
"Samuel... I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Michelle said looking at me with sad eyes. "...We will talk about it later." I said turning back to Lita. "Well it was nice to meet you Lita." Michelle said looking at Lita. "Yes, you too." Lita said smiling. Just then Michelle got that look... the look that I do not like her to get when I'm around someone.
"So... are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?" Michelle said pointing to both of us. "Well..." Lita said blushing. "Michelleeee..." I said looking at her and a giving a death glare. "Ok, well I guess I better get going." Michelle said looking at me. "Oh, and Samuel?"
"Ya?" I said looking at her. "You got a little something on your mouth." Michelle said taking her finger and wiping a smudge off my mouth and putting her finger in her mouth. "Hmmm, BBQ." Michelle said smiling. I blush bright red and put the back of my hand up to my nose. "Michelle!?" I said a little too loudly. I looked backed at Lita and saw she was giving me a mad pouty face. Lita was still blushing as she stood up.
"Hold on Samuel." Lita said leaning over the table. "You got something on your check." Lita said blushing while licking my check. I blush pure red and grab my nose with my left hand and pushed Michelle to the side while I ran to the bathroom holding my side trying not to scream in pain. Michelle starts to giggle as Lita stands up. "What's wrong with Samuel?" Lita said a little worried. "Oh don't worry about him." Michelle said looking at Lita. "Did I do something wrong?" Lita said looking at Michelle. Michelle smiles as Lita. "No you didn't. you just made him very happy." Michelle said turning around and walking back to her table leaving Lita sitting at the table worried about what Michelle said to her.
Saturday October 22nd 1977 8:56 P.M. Holding my nose over the sink trying to get it to stop bleeding, I thought to myself how I was going to cut Michele's wage next month. As my nose started to stop bleeding, I heard someone coming to the door. With blood streaks still on my face, I ran into one of the bathroom stalls. "Well I think the Queen will kill you if she found out you were going to skip the hit tonight." One of the men said. "Ya well I don't want to get body slammed by her." They both walk into the bathroom. "Don't worry so much, after we take care of her we only have to deal with that P.I guy." My heart rate starts to raise as I listen. "So what was her name again?"
"I think It's Lita." One of them says as they both walk into a stall. "Lita..." I said scared. I slammed the door open and ran out the bathroom as the two guy where trying to pull their pants back up. "Lita!" I yelled running to her holding my side. "Samuel, you ok?" Lita said looking at the blood under my nose. "Lita, we have to get out of her now!" I said grabbing her hand as people started to stare at us. "What's wrong?" Lita said getting scared. "No time to ex-" was all I was able to say before those two guys showed up.
"There he is!" One of them said as they started to run at us. Thinking fast, I grabbed the ice can off the rolling cart and through it at them spilling ice onto the floor. As they tried to stop falling, I ran with Lita for the front door. But it was hard to even walk for me. By now everyone in the restaurant heard what was going on as we tried to get some distance between us and them. I had to stop to catch my breath. "Samuel, who were those men!?" Lita said now fully scared and looking down at me catching my breath. "I *pant* don't know, but we have to keep mov-"
"Arhrh!" One of the men yelled as he jumped from the railing onto me. "The only place your going is hell!" He yelled as the started to chock me. I grabbed his hand and tried to pull them off. If I didn't have a bullet hole in my hip and a busted hand, I could have. but the thing is, I did.
As I'm gasping for air, I saw the other man putting Lita in a headlock. "L-Lita..." I said as everything started to turn black. Before I blacked out, I saw a black shoe kick the man in the face, rather hard and he flew back a few feet and fell to the floor holding his face yelling something. *Cough, cough, cough*
As I'm trying to catch my breath, the other man saw what happened and made the mistake of losing his grip on Lita. Lita elbowed him right in his rib, twice, as his made a face that said he crapped his pants. Lita then grabbed his head and threw him over her head and across the room and landed on a table with a crash as everybody started to run out the door screaming. "Samuel!? Are you ok!?" Lita said running to me as I got on my knees still coughing. "You sure know how to have a fun time Samuel." I looked up to see Amara. "Amara?!" I said looking at her as she stood there folding her arms smiling at me with Michelle standing right behind her. "Are you ok Samuel?!" Michelle said looking at me. "I *cough* think..." I said standing up. As we all looked back, we saw both men get back up and walk over to us.
"You bitch! you're going to pay for that!" The man yelled as his friend limped over to him. "What is the meaning of this!?" Amara said looking serious. "Heh, heh, you're getting in the way of the Queens plans, and we can't have that." The man said as they both pull out knifes. I pushed Lita behind me. "Ok then let's go." I said trying to make a fighting stand. "Gahh!" I said falling to my left knee as I grabbed my hip. "Now!" One of them yelled as they both rush me. Just then, to my surprise, Amara and Lita ran in front of me. As they both went for a forward stab with their right hands. Amara grabs the one on the left by his right hand with her left hand and Lita grabs the one on the right by his right hand with her right hand.
"What?!" They both yelled as Amara smiles. "You boys should know better than to pick on such a nice guy that has a bunch of lovely girls protecting him..." Amara said turning her wrist and snapping the guys wrist. "Aghhh!" He screamed as Lita ducks under the other guys arm. With her now behind him, She jumps up and kicks the guy right in his back while still holding his arm popping his arm out of his socket. Ughhh!" The guy screams as he falls go the ground rolling all over the place. I stood up looking at them. "Guys..." I say holding my side. "Samuel, your too hurt to stay here. Michelle!" Amara said looking at Michelle. "Get Samuel out of here... we will hold them off." Amara said looking back at the men who were trying to stand back up. "Lita..." I said looking at her. Lita turns around and looks at me. "Don't worry Samuel, now it's my turn to protect you..." Lita said smiling at me while turning back around.
"Come on Samuel." Michelle said helping me up. "Get going you two!" Amara said without turning around. As Michelle helped me walk to the door, the men finally get back up. "So are you two ready for more?" Amara said looking at them. One of them pulls out a walkie-talkie. "Now! rush in now!" He yelled as ten more men run through the back door and join there busted up friends in front of Amara and Lita. "Now it's time for round two." He said spitting out some blood. "I sure hope you know how to fight." Amara said without looking at Lita. "Don't worry, I can hold my own." Lita said smiling as the group started to surround the two of them...
*Back with Samuel and Michelle* "Hang on Samuel." Michelle said as we just left the restaurant and was now heading down the street to her car. "Where do you think you two are going?" A guy about 6'9 said as he stepped out from the alleyway with four other guys. "No..." Michelle said grinding her teeth as we both stood there as they start to walk towards us. *click* *BANG!* The big guy falls to the ground with a thud with a round right to his nose. Michelle looks to her left to see my gun in next to her face. "Go Michelle!" I yelled as I shot another one of the guys. *BANG!* One right through his neck. As Michelle started to walk down the street, I shot another one. *BANG!* One right through his left eye. The last two ran back into the ally as we walked past them and get to Michelle's car. "Hurry Michelle!" I yelled as she hoped in her car as the last two show up with shotguns. *BANG!* we both duck as the shot shoots out Michelle's front window. "Michelle, go!" I yelled as Michelle started her car and floored it as I peeked out and shot two into the guy on the left. One through this left lung, one through his spine. And then shot two through the second guy. One through his nose. one through his neck. As we drove off, I looked behind us to make sure nobody was following us. I saw three cars coming for us.
"Uhhh... Michelle?" I said not looking at her while a person in the front car popped out with a MP5. "Let me take a guess... cars following us?"
"Yep."
"Guys with guns?"
"Yep."
"Hallow point rounds?"
"Most likely."
"Bring it on..." Michelle said shifting into 4th gear and slamming her foot on the gas and zooming down the empty streets of Chicago doing 65 MPH.
*Back with Amara and Lita* "Don't worry, I can hold my own." Lita said smiling as the group started to surround the two of them. "Ok. then I got the five on the left." Amara said scanning the men. "Ok, then I got the five on the right." Lita said looking to the right. *BANG!* Lita looks over at the window. "Samuel..."
"Don't worry, Michelle won't let anything happen to him." Amara said smiling but not looking at Lita.
"Ok. then lets go..." Lita said making a fighting pose. "Now you two die!" The man yelled as all of them rushed Amara and Lita... Amara jumps onto the table to her right and drops down and does a spin kick to two of the men across their face. They fall to the ground holding their faces. Lita rushes one and takes her left hand and holds it out strait and chops the first guy across his face, Lita then grabs a wine bottle off the table next to her and smashes it across the guy next to the first guy in his face. Amara then jumps off the table towards the next guy and down word punches the guy across this face. As he fell, Amara rushes two more and slides on her knees and holds her arms out word and trips the two and they fall on their faces. Amara then back flips onto to them with her elbows out and rams them into their necks snapping them. Lita runs at the next guy as he went for a forward punch with his right hand. Lita ducks to the left and grabs this left arm and flips him over and slams her foot right into his neck. Lita turns around as a guy starts to swing a bat at her. Lita doges the first two and ducks underneath the 3rd one and sky uppercuts him on his chin as he flies back three feet. The last guy stood there looking like he was wetting himself as he looked at all his friends on the floor, dead. He falls to his knees and looks up at them.
"Please, don't kill me!" He said holding his hands in front of him. Lita and Amara walk up to him. "Now give us a good reason not to cave your head in." Amara said looking down that him. "I'll T-tell you anything you want!" He said blowing his head. "Ok then, tell us who sent you!" Amara said folding her hands. "Zoisite and Jadeite sent us to kill Lita and that P.I guy." Lita kicks him in his face. "You better not lay a finger on Samuel!" Lita yelled at him. "Lita, calm down." Amara said looking at Lita. Amara looks back at the guy. "Why do they want them dead?"
"Because Lita and that P.I guy were getting to close to figuring out where the four of them were going to set it up!" He said looking at the ground. "Four!?, Set what up?!" Amara said walking to him. "The Dr-..." The stops moving and falls down dead. Amara and Lita looked at the back of this head and saw a poison dart in this neck. Amara felt a clam wind hit her neck as she turned around and looks out the window and sees a man with long white hair looking at them. "Who are you!?" Amara said looking at him. But he just gave an evil smile and ran away. "Who was that guy?" Lita said looking at Amara. "I don't know... but whoever he was..." Amara said looking at the window. Amara looked at Lita and smiled. "Don't worry about it, I'm going to call my chief and get this place sealed off and get this place cleaned up, and we need to go see if Samuel and Michelle are okay." Amara said walking away. Lita looked over the mess she made and looked out the window. "Samuel..."
*Back with Samuel and Michelle* Skidding down the streets as the front car was shooting at us, I shot the rest of my clip into the window. "Keep swerving Michelle!" I yelled as bullets were ripping through the back window. Replacing my clip, I poked out the window and shoot four rounds into the first car. Three made their mark. All through his chest. As that car crashed into a light pole. The 2nd car pulls up and another guy pops out and starts to shoot. "Take a left at the next turn!" I yelled as I poked my head out again. With my heart rate over 145, I took aim and shoot three rounds through his windshield, he falls back behind the 3rd car. As Michelle took a left and started driving to the bridge, I shoot the last three bullets into the 3rd car. Somehow I shot the back tire and sent the car crashing into the guardrail as his car starts to smoke. The 2nd car, which was now the last car, drove up behind us as two guys started to shoot us. "AGHHH!" Michelle yelled as blood flew off her right arm. As Michelle started to lose control, we started to head for the edge of the bridge. "Michelle!" I Yelled as I looked at her as blood was dripping from her arm. "I'm ok!" Michelle yelled grabbing the wheel. I was down to my last clip and we were swerving too much to get a clean shot. "Michelle! do you know where the fuse panel is!?" I said looking at her. "Under the wheel! why?!"
"I want you to pull out the anti lock-brake fuses!"
"Which one is it!?"
"Just yank them all out then if you don't know!" Michelle pulls out all the fuses with her right hand as I held into the wheel as they started to shot at us again. "Now what!?" Michelle said looking at me. "Michelle, hold on ok?!" I said looking at her giving a trusting look. Michelle looks at me like she knew what I was going to do. Michelle wraps the shoulder strap of the seat belt around her good arm and ducks under the wheel. When my heart rate now over 165, I grabbed the wheel and I spun it around a full 360, causing the car to spin around so the front would pass the front of their car. As the front of the car started to pass their car, I took aim down the sights and shoot all ten bullets into the window. As we spun out and flipped over into the roof of the car, they crashed into the rail and flew over it and into the river. As smoke started to come out of the car, I looked over at Michelle and saw she was unconscious. "Michelle!?" I said shaking her.
A small fire started to come from the front of the car. I crawled out of my seat belt and tried to get Michelle out of hers. Somehow her seat belt got stuck in the door. I pulled as hard as I could but that seat belt was not coming out. I could see the fire getting bigger as smoke started to fill the inside of the car. Looking around to see if I could find anything I could use, I saw something laying next to Michelle's purse. Reaching over, I grabbed a Piece of glass from the window. I started to cut Michelle's seat belt off. The fire was now at the side doors. Finally getting her seat belt off, I pulled Michelle out the side window as I crawled out. Too weak to stand, I grabbed Michelle's collar with my right hand and started to crawl away from the burning car. After about a minute of painfully crawling, the car blew up. as piece's started to fall around us, I tried to cover Michelle the best I could to keep her from getting hit from the pieces of car metal.
After everything started to cool down, I slowly stood up and looked over the place. I heard sirens coming from over the way as I looked back at Michelle. She was still unconscious but she seemed ok. about four cop cars pull up, A certain police Woman hoped out of the one in front and started to run over to me. "Samuel!?, are you ok!?" Trista said looking at me with a shocked look on her face. "I've been better..." I said limping over to her. "Are you ok? you look like hell."
"You should see the other guys."
"Where are they?" I point to the open part of the bridge. "Oh..."
"Trista? can you call an ambulance for Michelle?" I said looking back at Michelle who was started to come to. Trista smiles at me. "Way ahead of you." I smiled back as a ambulance pulls up to us. "Hey, how did you know I was here anyway?" I said looking back at Trista. "Well I didn't. We were on are way to a restaurant that Amara called in when we were passing the bridge and saw the fire."
"Talk about timing." I said holding my side. "Is Amara and the girl that is with her ok?"
"Amara said she and the girl were ok and that she wanted to get hold of you." Trista said walking over to her car. "Amara and that girl should be back at the station by now." Trista said grabbing her radio. I limped over to Trista as she calls it in. "This is captain Trista calling HQ, come in over." *Buzz* "This is HQ, how can we help?" A voice said over the radio.
"Is Detective Amara back yet?"
"Yes she is, she is waiting in your office."
"Can you put me through to her?"
"Hold on..."
"...Yo."
"Hey Amara, its Trista. I'm here with Samuel on the bridge."
"The bridge? what is he doing all the way out there?"
"Well I'll let him tell you..." Trista said looking at me and handing me the radio. I grabbed Trista's radio and pressed the button. *Buzz* "Hey Amara."
"Samuel! are you and Michelle ok?" I looked at Michelle who was being put on a stretcher. "She hurt but she's hanging in there..." I said a little sad. "That's good to hear... I know you would never let something happen to Michelle without trying your best." I smiled as I heard her say that. "So what are you doing all the way over at the bridge?"
"We got into a little car chase after we left and three cars were chasing us."
"Do you know why?"
"No idea."
"Well I found out something that I would like to share with you and Trista, can we met later?" I thought to myself for a few seconds. "I've been shot at and almost killed today, so I'm going to go home, take a shower, and go to bed for ten hours, we can talk about this tomorrow ok?" I said putting my hand on the back of my head. "Ok, I understand, do you want to meet at your office tomorrow?"
"Well... let's make it my house, you know where I live right?"
"Ya, Trista told me." I roll my eyes. "Is 2:00 ok?"
"Ya that will be fine, hey Amara?"
"Ya?"
"Is Lita still with you?"
"No, she just left for her house a few minutes ago after talking to someone on the phone."
"Hmm ok, I'll see you and Trista tomorrow then."
"Ok Samuel, I'm out." *Buzz* I handed the radio back to Trista who was yelling at people to get the place sealed off. "Is everything good?" Trista said walking over to me. "Ya, Amara will tell you everything later when you see her, are you still going to the restaurant?"
"Ya, were going to get this place dealt with and then we will go to the restaurant."
"Ok, I'll see you later." I said as I started to limp away. "Wait, where are you going?" Trista said looking at me walking away. "I'm going to go see a friend..." I said still limping away down the street...
Saturday October 22nd 1977 11:11 P.M. Limping up the stairs to Lita's house, I rang the doorbell and waited. The door opens as Lita looks at me. "Samuel!?" Lita said with a smile on her face. "Hey Lita, can I come in?" I said smiling. "Yes, of course." Lita said moving out of the doorway. I limped in as Lita closed the door. Lita then walks up from behind me a gives me a hug. "I'm so glad you're ok Samuel..." Lita said like she hadn't seen me in forever. "Lita..." I said blushing a little. "Lita... there's something I want to tell you..." I said looking at her. "What is it?" Lita said tilting her head. "I'm sorry for ruining are date tonight..." I said looking down. Lita didn't say anything for a little bit. I thought it was because she was mad.
"It's not your fault, I had fun."
"What!? But with everything that happened..."
"Like I said, it was not your fault, you had no idea that those people were going to try and kill us after all." Lita said walking to the fridge. "Do you want something to drink?" Lita said pulling out a can of Lime juice. "Sure." I said limping to the table. As Lita poured me a cup, All I could think about was her mother. "...Hey Lita?"
"Yes?" Lita said handing me my cup. "...Have you been lying to me?" Lita seemed to freeze right where she was standing. "W-what do you mean?" Lita said not looking up at me. "Well... you said your Mother was in France, but your Mother died giving birth to you." Lita seemed to be happy that it wasn't another question for some reason.
"Yes...she did die giving birth to me..." Lita said putting the can of lime juice away. "Well then why did you lie to me?" I said taking a sip. "...Well I thought you were the kind of guy that like girls who had a rich mom and dad or if they had cool jobs." Lita said looking down at her cup. "Lita... I don't like rich girls." I said looking at her. "You don't?" Lita said looking up at me. "Lita, I like girls who stand up for what they believe in... I like girls who fight to keep the people they care about safe... I like girls who are fun, cute, kind, brave and know how to make me feel warm inside. and who will always be there for me..." I said putting my hand on her cheek. Lita looked like she was about to cry. "Samuel..." Lita put her hand on top of mine that was on her cheek and just stared at me.
Now I don't know why, but I didn't get nervous and start to blush... well at least not till Lita started to move her face towards mine. My heart started to race as Lita was only a few inches from mine. I couldn't move. I don't know why. I thought for sure she was going to kiss me. But for some reason I wanted to kiss her. I don't know why but It just felt ok... like I did this before and it was okay with me. Lita was now just three inches away from my face. I could feel her breathing as I stood there frozen in place. Then...
*Ring, ring* Lita stops and gets big eyed and looks at me like she did something wrong. "I'm sorry!" Lita said letting go of my hand "No, it's ok Lita." I said blushing and looking away at the wall. Lita turns around and walks over to the phone and picks it up. "Hello?... Oh, yes... I know that bu-...fine..."
Lita hangs up the phone. "Samuel... can we talk again later?" Lita said looking down at the phone. "Is everything ok?" I said walking over to her. "Ya, it's just something came up and I have to go somewhere..." Lita said walking over to the door. "Where do you have to go at a time like this?" I said standing there. "Samuel... can you please go?" Lita said opening the door and looking down at the floor. "Okay Lita..." I said walking out the door. "I'm sorry Samuel..." Lita said closing the door. I heard Lita start to cry on the couch as I started to walk down the stairs. "Lita..." I said looking back at her house lost in thought. I started to walk away back to my house hoping that everything was okay with Lita...
*Back with Lita* "...*Sniff* I was so close..." Lita said touching her lips as she started to cry more...
