Shocking Experience

Leverrier was walking along the path that led toward the headquarters of the Black Order, anxious to get back. There were dark clouds overheard which signaled that a storm was imminent.

And the Inspector didn't want to be caught out in the storm so he quickened his pace.

Unfortunately a loud crack of thunder signaled the beginning of the storm. This was soon followed by a downpour of rain, as though someone overhead had dumped a huge bucket of water.

Swearing under his breath the irritated man began running up the path that led toward HQ. When he had departed earlier that day the sky had been cobalt blue, without even the hint of a cloud. So the man hadn't brought an umbrella along with him, which he was lamenting at this present moment.

"Damn it all," Leverrier muttered as he dashed along the road.

Leverrier wasn't paying attention to the path, in his haste to escape the storm, and he swore loudly as he stepped in a large puddle. Water came over the top of his shoe, soaking through his sock and causing his already short temper to shorten even further.

Raising his eyes skyward the man screamed, "Can this day get any worse?!"

As though in answer to this angrily shouted question a flash of lightening lit up the sky, striking the man where he stood. In the puddle of water.

Resulting in death.

Little streams of smoke rose from Leverrier's body as he fell, landing face first in the mud.

And that was the way he was found the next day when the members of the Black Order became curious as to why he was late returning. He was supposed to have returned the day before so everyone was curious what had detained him.

And Komui, not really wanting to do the deed himself, sent Allen and Lavi out in search of the Inspector. Neither of the boys really wanted to go on this errand but they did it none the less.

"I wonder what's keeping him?" Lavi mused to himself as he and Allen made their way down the path.

Allen shrugged, not really caring what was keeping the man. He was happy so long as Leverrier was far away which was why he didn't really want to find him.

After this question the two boys traveled on in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. However both stopped dead in their tracks as they came upon Leverrier's body lying in the middle of the path.

Lavi was the first to recover from his surprise and he walked toward the man, attempting to ascertain whether or not he was still alive.

"He's not breathing," Lavi said after a few moments.

"I wonder what happened?" Allen muttered as he gazed down at the body of Leverrier.

"Judging by the burn marks I'd say he was struck by lightening," Lavi said, his tone casual as he walked around the body.

"Oh," Allen said.

A/N - Moral of the story, don't ask if things can get worse… because they always can. Hope that you enjoyed.
