DW: Hey kiddies! As you can see that I changed my pen name to Writing is A Poison.
Death Note has been updated and let me tell you, best chappie yet! So, check that out peeps.
Oh and Death Note is currently number 1 in that poll rating thing I told you guys about in the Death Note story.
Disclamer: nothing but the idea
"This is a shut and close case" Courtney told Bently on her way to the copier. "The man was found in the girls bedroom with no clothing". Her black heels clicked on the hard floor as she made her way to the copier. Bently followed her like a lost puppy, pretending to be engrossed in her conversation.
"That's a winner" he said, for the fifth time. Courtney secretly rolled her eyes as she placed the document on the glass surface. She closed the top and pushed a few buttons and waited quietly while it spit out papers. Bently straightened his plaid tie and leaned agaisnt the wall next to the copier. "So what did you do Saturday?" he asked, trying not to come off strong but failing miserably.
Courtney sighed, it was going to be one of those moment again. "I hung out with a few friends while some people worked on my yard".
"Oh. Well you know you could have been having a faboulous time with me" Bently hinted. He flashed her a dashing smile. Courtney blushed, "Bently, you know that I don't mix business with pleasure. It's too messy". She collected her finished papers and her original. She was about to walk out and go hide in her office but Bently blocked the door.
"Come on Court" he whined. "You never go out!"
Courtney couldn't believe this grown man was whining like a pentulant child. "I like to keep to myself. I go out on rare occasions with my girlfriends". Bently made an 'o' shape with his mouth and said, "You a lesbian?" he asked. Courtney sighed in exsassperation, "Why does everyone think I'm into women just because I don't go out!".
Bently saw his opportunity. He smiled broadly, "Okay then, prove it. Saturday, you go out with me to dinner. Just dinner". Courtney thought this over, "Just dinner?" she asked. Bently nodded, "Just dinner. And no talk about work either". Now that sounded like a night for her! "No work related talk?" Courtney asked in disbelief. "At all?"
"None".
Courtney considered the offer. "Alright then. It's a date".
Bently sighed in relief. "Great. I will pick you up at seven and we will dine down at that fancy resturant they just built over on 9th street. I heard from my sister, it's fantastic. I hope you like Italian".
He moved from the way of the exit and Courtney walked by. She grabbed his tie and pulled his face down to hers. Testing her sexuality she said, "No. You will meet me at the Italian resturant over on 9th street. Make sure your house is clean that night, you never know" she let go and left with Bently's mouth open.
Courtney went into her large office space and closed the door. "What the hell was that?!" she question herself.
Her phone rang just as she sat down in her big leather chair. "Yes, Karen?" she asked her private secretary.
"Your sister's school is on line one. Mr. Palemore is on line two and you have a package here from Tina".
Courtney sighed, "Okay, thanks." she clicked off the line with Karen and clicked to line one. "Hello, Mrs. White, what can I do for you?" Courtney prepare herself by taking out the white bottle of pills and took two with water. Mrs. White's stiff voice came booming over the reciever. "Courtney, I am so relieved that I was able to reach you. Everytime I call, your secrectary tells me your busy.".
"Yes, I have been for a while."
"And I have been busy dealing with you sisters".
Courtney groaned, "What did they do?"
"A number of things. Cheating on tests, skipping class, disrupting the instructor, starting a food fight, and the most recent activity has been a art room fight ending with both of them in a rainbow of colors". Courtney swirled around in her chair and checked her appointments for that day. "I'm clear for the rest of the day and I guess I coud venture up there to talk in person".
Mrs. White cleared her voice. "Yes, that would be in your best interest.".
"Can I talk to one of them?" Courtney clenched a pencil in her hand and she heard it crack little by little. Mrs. White passed the phone over to one of the twins. She could hear them struggled over who should talk and Courtney had to let out a chuckle.
"Courtney?" Crystal asked timidly. "Are you coming up here?"
Courtney rubbed her head, "Yes, I'm coming up there and you both are in trouble. Tell Diamond that I will have both you butts for trophies on my mantle". They were whispering back and forth on the on other line before Crsytal returned the phone. "She said bring it". Courtney scoffed, "Don't worry I will you little pains!" she slammed the phone down.
It was past three and it was a hour and half drive to Stoneybrooks Boarding school for girls. She collected her cases for the next day and stuffed them in her brief case before walked out the office. "Hold me calls until tomorrow" Courtney told Karen without stopping. She walked into the elevato and rode it all the way down to the garage.
Her car beeped as she turned the alarmed off and hopped in.
Turning her Lady Gaga music up she rode out of the parking lot and sped down the street towards the nearest freeway.
Courtney finally made her way into the posh town where her sister's Boarding school was. The school was large and glum looking. It was tall with towers at the top that held gargoyles that gaurded the school from visitors and boys. She pulled up to the iron gates and pushed the intercom button.
"Can I help you?" a dispatched voice asked.
"I have an appointment with Mrs. White" Courney said in a loud voice. The gates creeked open and she drove ahead to the parking lots. Girls were walking around in their plaid black and red skirts with thier polo style shirts and matching ties. Courtney noticed that some of them were trying to take a glimpse at the boys outside their school in the yard over.
She walked past them and into the school. The halls were filled with girls going everywhere and talking about anything. Some were at their lockers and Courtney noticed Justin Beiber's picture and Taylor Lautner. She smiled to herself, these girls never met any real boys.
The main office was right by the door and she marched in, ready to put on her professonal face and atitude. The grey head receptionist was typing away at her computer when Courtney walked in. Her glasses were to the edge of her nose and she had to repeatidly push them back up.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"I'm here to talk with Mrs. White" Courtney said in her business tone. The grey headed woman pointed to the door behind her. "She's been waiting for you. Go on in dear". Courtney did and was appauled at the sight. Her sisters were covered in every color of paint imaginable. They had it in their long brown hair and all over their clothes and skin.
The identical twins looked up automactically when they saw Courtney enter and immediately looked down when they saw her raging eyes. Mrs. White was writing something on a notebook and was so engrossed in her work that she didn't hear Courtney come in until she cleared her throat loudly.
"Ms. Courtney!" she aknowledged. She ushered with a pale hand for her to sit down next to the empty chair next to Diamond. "As you can see, the girls are in a complete mess of colors. They were having a fight over the type of yellow to use on Crystal's lion that she painted in the jungle theme". Mrs. White bent down under her desk and pulled out the painting.
It was also decorated with many color splats. "I'm so sorry for their behavior Mrs. White. I'll handle this when we get home".
Diamond looked up hopeful, "You're taking us this weekend?" she asked. Courtney nodded slowly, "It is the second weekend".
Mrs. White nodded in agreement. "Girls, would you be so kind as to step outside while I talk to you sister?" The twins got up and walked out quickly, closing the door behind them.
"Courtney, I know that you're trying your best to raise your sisters but your failing. I don't like reporting the social worker every month about the girls behavior or when they come home from your house. Maybe it's best that you give up this fight and let your parents take over custody".
Courtney glared at the woman. "Are you doubting my parental skills?" she asked coldly. "I know how to take care of my sisters. The important thing here is that they are healthy, active, smart, and above all happy. Why do you think I sent them here?"
's face was grave. "You are doing the best you can but really Courtney, are they really happy?"
That stung Courtney's heart. She knew that sometimes the twin got depressed and old memories come back to haunt them in their dreams. She was trying her best to keep them happy and to prove to everyone that she could raise two teens agaisnt the odds. Which were very low in her favor.
"I'll talk with them this weekend. Thank you for the time" Courtney stood up to leave.
"Good luck, dear" Mrs. White called.
In the car ride home
"And another thing, where do you get off talking back to the teacher?!" Courtney yelled to the back seat. This question had been directed to Crystal, "I just corrected her. She said that the Berlin wall was to put up to separate Germany when it really wasn't. She was giving out the wrong information".
Diamond snorted, "Like anyone really cares".
"Dia, you should care because you have been failing test on purpose, cutting class, bullying other girls, and getting caught sneaking over to the boys side of the school" Courtney glared at her from the rearview mirror. Diamond blew her pink and purple bangs out of her eyes and crossed her arms. "What's the point? I mean we're just going to take over the family business anyway".
"No, we're not" Courtney said. "That business is none of our business." she sighed and looked at the dreary faces of her little sisters. "Guys, I am doing the best I can but you need to cut me a little slack, okay? Try in school and make good grades, that's all I ask. Can you do that?"
"I guess" Diamond grumbled.
"Yes" Crystal responded.
Courtney smiled, "Okay, then how about tonight is a movie and junk food fest? Any movie you guys like!"
That seemed to cheer the girls up a lot as Courtney drove into a convient store and they picked up a massive amount of junk food and soda.
That night, they ordered movies and did some singing and dancing together. Before all three passed out on the floor.
"We can stay here by ourselves!" Diamond whined.
Courtney shook her head as she applied some makeup to her face. "I don't want you burning down my house of throwing a crazy party".
The twins sat on her bed as they watched their sister getting dressed for her date tonight with Bently. "Where are you going to find a baby-sister this late?" Crystal asked, fingering the red dress.
"Bridgette is coming over and maybe Lisa later on."
"So, you'll be back in the morning huh?" Diamond asked, observing her sisters outfit and how pretty she looked.
Courtney held back chuckles, "Why do you say that?"
"I'm mean this guy is obviously hot, because you're wearing a silky red dress that shows just enough cleavage that says 'I'm a flirt'. And your appyling makeup, mostly to your eyes and cheeks that says, 'I'm open for new things'". Diamond sounded like an expert on body language, but none the less it made the other two girls laugh.
"Why do you know this?" Crystal asked.
"TV, duh?"
The doorbell rang and Diamond ran to answer it. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice carrying upstairs.
"I'm Duncan, who are you?"
Diamond placed her hands on her hips. "No one you need to know" she said with sass. Courtney heard the little feud going on and she slipped the dress on and heels before coming down the steps.
"Duncan, what are you doing here?" she asked.
Duncan eyes widen when he saw Courtney's dress and how she looked in it. "Right now, I'm staring a great pair of legs and body". Courtney smacked his arm, "There are children here!" she proclaimed.
"I'm twelve!" Diamond protested.
"Go back upstairs!" she commanded her younger sister. Diamond ran up the steps mumbling to herself.
"Didn't know you had kids" Duncan said studying Courtney. Courtney rolled her eyes, "They're not mine, idiot! She's my sister". Really, just how old did Duncan think Courtney was?
"Oh" Duncan said, blowing off the matter. "Anyways, I forgot some of my tools here so if I could just go get them, I'm gone".
"Why are you always leaving tools behind?" Courtney asked, suspiciously. This had been the third time this week.
Duncan smirked, "I don't know maybe I just like seeing you at night when all of her business attire isn't on and you're just you" his teal eyes danced playfully. Courtney was somewhat flatter but still upset. "Well, if you like to look at me that much, take a picture. It'll last longer". Of course she was just kidding but Duncan whipped out his camera phone and took a quick snap.
"I would keep this but my girlfriend would get really mad at me for having another hot chick's picture in my phone" Duncan erased the photo and put his phone back in his pocket. "Can I get my tools?"
Courtney guided him in with a swift of her hand. Duncan whistled at the large spacious home she had. "Damn, lawyer girl is loaded!"
"You better not steal anything from me!" she warned. "Not only would I sue but I'll kick your criminal ass too".
Duncan chuckled and walked to the kitchen in order to get to the patio door. His tools were right by the door and he tucked them under his arms.
"So what are you all dolled up for?" he asked, taking another look at her body.
Courtney folded her arms, "If you must know, I have a date".
"Who's the lucky bastard?" he asked, noticing that Courtney's arm folding made her boobs bigger.
"A co-woker" she answerd, curtly.
"Well have fun, but I can see now that you'll be back before midnight" Duncan said knowingly.
Courtney scoffed and rolled her eyes, "How do you know?"
"I just do".
"Yeah, well you're wrong" but even her voice sounded doubtful. Luckily, for her the kitchen phone rang. It was Bridgette, telling Courtney that she couldn't baby-sit tonight.
"Sorry, but my mom just had an operation and she needs my help. Lisa hates kids, so don't even ask her".
"Bridgette, I'm about to leave now!" Courtney leaned agaisnt the counted and rested a hand on her forehead.
"Well....I'm sorry Court. They're old enough to stay by themselves for a while. Right?"
"Wrong. You don't the little monsters" she glanced over at Duncan who was going through her refridgerator.
"I think I have a replacement" Courtney said and hanged up.
Duncan took out a water bottle and took a sip. "I'm don't do kids" he mumbled, not even looking up.
Courtney rolled her eyes. "I'll pay you and I don't have anyone else who can take of them!" she moved closer to Duncan and put a hand on his chest. She looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Please?"
Her onyx eyes seemed to bore into his and Duncan sighed in defeat. "Okay, but on one condition. You don't go home with this guy".
"Deal!"
"Where are the little monsters?" he asked, walking back to the foyer.
Courtney grabbed her coat from the hall closet and yelled upstairs for her sisters to come down.
"The one with the purple streaks is Diamond. Watch out for her" Courtney warned. "Crystal is the one with braces, she'll be okay but don't leave her alone". Duncan nodded as the twins came into view.
"I'm gone guys!" she called as walked out the door.
The girls stared down at Duncan and he stared back at them nervously. "So...what do you girls want to do?" Duncan asked.
The twins glanced at each other and then with bright smiles said,
"Makeovers!"
Courtney walked up her driveway around eleven. Duncan was right, her date went horribly wrong.
"If I ever find the bastard that invented heels, I'll kill him" she mumbled, walking to the door. She put her key in and took off her heels immediately stepping in.
The lights were out and Courtney turned the lamps on.
She heard nothing, "Duncan?" she called out.
"Girls?"
Still no answer.
"Anyone?"
Courtney walked into the kitchen and saw the light on in the den. Carefully, she crept down the steps. The TV was on and a whole bunch of games and makeup things were all over the floor.
"What happened?" she asked herself. And she saw.
Asleep, on the brown couch was Duncan and the girls. All three had red lipstick on and crazy color eyeshadow and Courtney even saw that Duncan's nails were painted. He also had ribbons and clips in his green mohawk and clip on earrings. Even though he had enough peircings already.
Courtney smiled to herself and went to the closet and pulled out a large blanket. She thought it be alright if Duncan slept here for a while until the morning.
Wrapping the large blanket around them she tiptoed back up the steps to her own bed.
