Chapter 2: The Intruder
September 18, 2026
While Trucy was in High School, Apollo was at work working on another murder case. To Trucy's surprise Doug wasn't at school today. "Where could Doug be? Oh I hope he still not mad at me". Trucy thought. When Trucy got back from school she saw a light on. "That's weird I don't see Apollo's car." She walked into the house when something jumped in front of her. "DOUG!" she screamed. She tried to scream as loud she could but it was muffled by Doug's hand." HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Her muffled scream said. Doug dragged her to Apollo's room and threw her on the bed. "PLEASE DOUG, DON'T THIS!" She begged. Doug suddenly pulled out a pocket knife and put it close to her neck. "Shut up." Doug said. "Now you are going to tell me everything that happened. And I find you cheated on me, you're dead you hear me." Trucy nodded her head scared out of her mind. "OK, I was at the back of the school with Klavier." "BUT WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I SWEAR." She yelled. "What were you two doing?" Doug said seriously. "We were talking." Trucy saw the rage in his eyes. "WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Doug yelled bringing the knife closer to her neck. "A-About school." She said nervously. "You just stuttered." "Are you lying to me?" Doug said. "N-NO I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING" She said almost crying. (A few minutes later of explaining.) "D-Doug c-can I please have a break." "Alright, but you only get 10 minutes." "What a minute…you were about to call Apollo weren't you." She grabbed Trucy by the collar and threw on the bed and pinned her down. "DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TRICK ME!" He yelled. "I WASN'T GOING TO TRICK YOU I SWEAR!" She screamed." YES YOU WERE!" He yelled back. "NO I WASN'T PLEASE LET ME GO!" She begged. Apollo just got back from work with another case solved. Trucy heard the door open knowing Apollo was home. "APOLLO HELP, HELP ME PLEASE!" She yelled. Apollo ran as fast he could and busted through the door. When Apollo saw Doug he tackled him into the wall and fought him. "I thought I told you to never come here." Apollo said. Apollo kicked Doug in the right in the stomach. "NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE." As soon as Doug was about to crawl away, Apollo grabbed the back of his jacket. "Now let me tell you something, if you ever try to hurt Trucy again I'll guarantee you won't be so lucky." "UNDERSTAND!" Apollo yelled with anger. Doug nodded his head and ran away. Apollo walked back to Trucy. Trucy's head was the pillow crying her eyes out. "Hey, are you ok." Apollo asked. "Y-Yes, *sniff* I'm ok." Trucy walked up to Apollo and gave him a hug. "T-Thank Y-You Apollo." "You're Welcome." Apollo said softly.
