Hey, sorry I left it on such a cliff-hanger last time, and have only just decided to update. I'm evil, I know. Sorry guys I just completely forgot about it. But anywho, hope you guys enjoy! (I should really be revising for my Physics exam in a few hours… but never mind :P hehe)
'Wha'?' Gene questioned frightfully. His eyes quickly scanned the room but he saw nothing out of place; Luigi was polishing some glasses, the boys from CID we're just pissing about drinking, and there were a few other people who were happily conversing with their friends, eating Luigi's famous pasta. He just didn't get it. Was everything she said some sort of horrible lie to mess with his head? Was this her way of getting out of kissing him? He really didn't want to be thinking like this, but the thoughts couldn't help but penetrate his mind.
Alex, her face extremely pale, pointed toward the door with a shaky hand. Gene followed her directions, yet could see nothing. He looked worriedly back at Alex, wondering for her mental heath.
'But, Alex… there's nuffin there.' Her eyes snapped up to his in a second. He can't see it. I must be going crazy, or is this some sort of test? Something suddenly dawned on her. Alex. He called me Alex. He never calls me Alex.
She stroked his face to soothe him. 'I'll be back in a minute,' she said as she attempted to slide of the stool and walk away, but his reflexes were too quick. He grabbed hold of her sleeve and she spun on the spot to face him.
'Why? Where are ya going?' He queried with a saddened look on his face.
'I can't say. I just need to go. I'll be back soon I promise.' Alex smiled softly at him and blew him a kiss before turning and walking towards the door.
What Gene couldn't see was the man with a gun pointed at Alex's head and the long, spindly finger beckoning her to him.
Sorry about the amazing shortness of this chapter. The next will be longer I swear, but I really wanted to update, and I really need to revise now. So I'll update again soon. Promise =]
