Falling From Cloud Nine Chapter 4
Okay everyone, thanks so much for the kind reviews (: just know they are greatly appreciated!
I need someone to PM me about the Valentine's Day episode, too busy fangirling over Kurt and Blaine. My sister said I cried… Pretty creepy even for me.
Authors note at the bottom. Kinda important, I guess.
On with the story!
*Ring. Ring. Ring.*
Rachel's groggy voice answered the phone.
"Rachel, you need to come to the apartment! The cops found something!" Kurt's panicked voice filled Rachel's ears.
Rachel shook her head in an attempt to wake herself up even more. "What? What did they find?"
"They won't tell me. Apparently both of the owners need to be here first before they reveal important news. Hurry up and come!"
Rachel started getting up from the bed and looking for her clothes. "Is it something really important? Is Finn there or what? Is it related to the case?"
"I honestly don't know Rachel. I think it's something serious, and yes Finn is here. You gave him your number, right? He said he'll text you in a few."
"Alright, thanks. I'm on my way to getting dressed and getting ready, text me if anything comes up!"
After Rachel said her goodbyes to Kurt, the thought that the cops found something gnawed at her mind for the time she was getting ready to leave. What if they found something serious? What if the robber had a motive to kill? What if he stole something? Kurt would be so mad.
Finn looked at the contact name and number on his phone.
Rachel Berry.

Come on Finn, just text her.
*Hey Rachel, it's Finn. I heard about what happened, and I'm at your apartment right now. Nice pink sheets by the way ;)*
No, too stalker-ish.
*Hey Rachipoo, babygirl! Imam ur house rite now nd there r cops everywhere lmaoo*
Where did that come from? His gay side, probably.
*Hey Rachel, it's Finn Hudson right now. I'm at your house, and the cops won't tell me anything because apparently I have to be related to you, or married or whatever. Can you tell me if it has anything to do with the case? Thanks!*
That one worked. Finn manned up (which included puffing his muscles up like a total loser) and pressed send.
Rachel felt her phone vibrate against her lap, but didn't check it. She did NOT have time to get into an accident or get arrested.
She sighed. Traffic was taking forever, it felt like she would get there in 5 hours. Technically, she was going to be there in 5 minutes, but still!
Rachel pulled up into the parking lot and got out of the car. She practically ran to her room number, which was near the top.
When she finally got there, everyone was sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for something. Apparently that something was her.
"Okay, I'm here now, what happened?" Rachel questioned the nearest detective.
The mystery guy shrugged and pointed to Kurt's bedroom, which the police captain was probably at.
Rachel marched right up to Capitan Brody and demanded to know what happened.
"Alright, alright! Kurt Hummel, come here please," Brody ordered. Once Kurt and Rachel were gathered around him, he started off.
"First of all, I need you to answer me honestly. Rachel, do you know what the penalty for fining an controlled substance in your place of residence is?"
Rachel nodded. "Of course I do!"
Rachel crossed her fingers behind her back and hoped that they didn't find anything bad.
"We found a bag of needles and a type of liquid drug that is being sent to the labs right now. It's been used." Brody told him with a grim face.
Rachel and Kurt stood there, their mouths open.
"But I-"
"I never-"
"I didn't-"
Rachel and Kurt started talking, their voices overlapping with each other.
Brody raised a hand to silence them, his expression looking grave.
"I'm sorry Miss Berry, but we're going to have to remove you from the Clarington case. We can't have one of our detectives turning into an druggie."
Brody walked away, leaving a crestfallen Rachel behind.
Finn looked at Rachel with a puzzled expression. He put his hands on her shoulders in an attempt to calm her down.
Rachel was still blubbering away.
"Slow down! What happened?"
Rachel explained everything to Finn, with Kurt pitching in when necessary, though he was busy with Blaine.
"So…you're kicked off the case…Because you were found with needles?" Finn looked even more confused.
With the way Finn ever-so-kindly put it, Rachel dissolved into tears again. "The Capitan says I'm just suspended for now, but there's no telling what could happen."
Just then, at the worst of times, Finn's cell phone rang. And rang. And rang.
Finn pulled it out of his pocket impatiently, and answered it.
"Hello? Yeah. Yes, this is him. Okay. Yes, Rachel just told me. Oh? Who's Quinn Fabray? She is? Oh, is she? Oh okay. Thanks! Bye."
"Hey Rachel? Do you know who Quinn is? Apparently she's my new partner while you're suspended…"
Just great. Just perfectly great. Finn's working with some blonde slut now, the one who tortured her in high school, and he doesn't even like her.
Rachel collapsed on her bed, and immediately felt that something was off.
She reached under the mattress and the box, and felt a piece of paper between her fingers.
She pulled the note out and read it.
In unfamiliar writing, it read:
*Miss Rachel Berry's not so innocent anymore, huh? Well, good luck with the case. –H.C.*
It chilled her to the bone to know that Hunter knew where she lived, what she did, and that she was pretty damn good at it.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that he might be outside, right now, watching her.
Rachel squealed and dove under the covers for safety.
What do you guys think?! Let me know (:
Also, do you feel that the writing is forced? Let me know!
