Lavi sat down exhausted on his couch, rethinking about all the things that had happened. He couldn't erase the image of Allen and Kanda being taken away so effortlessly. Lavi felt like all his willpower had drained away. He couldn't do anything. He wanted to storm in the organization to save them, which would get him killed for sure. He wanted to tell Lenalee about it. Right now, he had the urge to grab his cellphone to call her- telling her everything. Telling her she should help.
Lavi got up and travelled right into his bedroom. He took his white pants off and lay down on his bed, staring at his cellphone that was on the nightstand. I'm not supposed to tell Lenalee.. Bookman told me I shouldn't involve myself into this any further- just observe. What is there even to observe when you know your friends could die any minute now?! What did he add to that again..
The red-head itched his head, then sat straight up- ready to imitate Bookman.
"You shouldn't make a big fuss out of things, Idiot Lavi! It's already worse enough for the next Bookman in line to drink, party, have friends! On what purpose do you think I raised you? Don't you dare let my effort get to waste! Because of that, you show weakness. It'll be a fatal mistake for you one day! ..Or something". Lavi sighed. He knew Bookman was right, but NOTHING would stop Lavi from not leaving his current friends.
If Lavi needed someone, they'd be there. Especially Lenalee. Lenalee would always see through Lavi's fake smiles, trying to comfort all his worries and doubts if he had any. Lenalee should have the biggest right to know all of this.. I'm sorry geezer.. but I can't listen to you..
He grabbed his cellphone, dialed Lenalee's number and waited.
"Yeees? Lenalee Lee here!"
"Lenalee? I need to talk to you about something.." Lavi shrugged.
"Oh Lavi! Is that you? You sound a bit sad.. did something happen?"
He chuckled. "You never change, do you?"
"What's up with that Laviii? Tell me now! TELL ME, TELL ME! I will stop watching X-Factor, just a moment let me turn the volume down.."
"Alright, alright! Take your time".
...
...
"NOW! What are you hiding?! Did Bookman give you extra books or..?"
Lavi's voice changed. "No, something far worse".
"..Lavi?"
"It.. is.. umm.. about Allen and Kanda-"
"WHAAAAAAAAAT? DID THEY HAVE AN ARGUE?! DID THEY BREAK UP?! DID KANDA STUCK ''IT'' IN THE WRONG HOLE? IS ALLEN PREGNANT? Wait.. Allen is a guy.. BUT STILL! No.. it can't be- DID ALLEN REJECT KANDA'S MARRIAGE PROPOSAL?! IS THAT WHY THEY DIDN'T ANSWER MY CALLS?! OH I'LL FORGIVE THEM!~~ I UNDERSTAND THEY NEED SOME TIME ALONE!"
Lavi held his phone a meter from his ear. Lenalee screamed so loudly Lavi feared that the neighbours might have woken up.
"L-Lenalee.. what..? Calm down woman! I can't really follow you.."
"Would.. you be so kind to NOT speak for just a moment.. I.. I need to recover from this huge shock.. I.. wow.."
"Lenalee, listen to me! It's not any of the things you said.."
"Huh?"
"Look. Allen and Kanda have been kidnapped". She's just like her brother on that perspective..
"Kidnapped?" Lenalee giggled. "Are you trying to be funny Lavi?"
"No, actually I'm pretty damn serious Lenalee and I want you to listen to me. Allen and Kanda did nothing wrong- they just got arrested by some sort of weird people from the military I don't know man it is crazy shit! That's why they hadn't answered your calls. Please Lenalee I-"
"Stop that Lavi, don't make those scary jokes. It's not funny anymore.."
"Lenalee, I'm not joking! They can die any moment right now! Every second I'm still wondering if-"
"Stop.. I don't wanna hear more.. what are you saying.. that is.."
"Ask Komui".
...
...
...
"What does my brother have to do with all this? You're just making things up Lavi, there's noway that..."
Lavi hugged his pillow with one arm. "You know, I thought the same thing.. but they actually got dragged away infront of Komui's, Bookman's and my face in the apartment. We were too late, Lenalee. We were too fucking LATE! Komui knew all along.. And.. we couldn't.. do anything... Lenalee we're so powerless. That damn military force is under the damn control of the government!"
Lavi couldn't help it but shed a tear. He wasn't able bear the horrible feeling inside his stomach anymore.
"..L-Lavi.. Lavi.. Are you saying the truth..? It's not a joke right..? Those two.. they would never do anything.. they.."
"I'm not joking. Komui never said anything to you.. only because he wanted to protect you. Bookman wanted me to stay out of the mess and just record.. but I.. I.. I can't. I really can't. Lenalee what should I do? I want to save them.." Lavi curled up at the corner of his bed and hid his face in his knees, holding his cellphone in his hand. He was trying his best not to punch the nearest object.
Ofcourse it's not a joke. Why would I joke about something like this? God damnit. God damnit. GOD DAMN IT. If I had money and power, I'd buy the whole organization and make sure those bastards will.. will.. FOR FUCK SAKE! Why at a time like this...?! Innocent people.. on top of that my friends... Lenalee isn't very helpful either right now.. It's almost like nobody cares. Just like when I was little. No one cares. I always need to solve things on my own.. right up until this very day...
"Neh, Lavi.. shouldn't we get them back? Isn't there any way to get them out of there..?"
The red-head blinked. Ah, so she does care.. For a moment I thought she would just ..do nothing against it.. and leave things be..
"Lenalee.. There must be some way!"
"Mhm.. I'm sure there's too. Lavi, it's getting a bit late now. Say, do you want to meet up tomorrow after you're done in the library? I have classes until like.. 3.45 pm".
"Yeah, sure.. where?" Lavi chewed a bit on his blankets.
"My flower store? You know where it's located right? When we met-"
"I remember, Lenalee. Just don't worry or panic about anything okay? Don't cry. I promise everything will be alright. We'll figure something out together".
enjoy.
