We stride off the bar and head to the restaurant at Holland fourth boulevard in JacknJill.
We're still in this district ten, I passed plenty of garbage on each pavement, dead vines dangle on the lampposts from side to side, and neon signs and billboards nevertheless shine.
I can smell the steam of street foods in the near alleyways - it surely makes me hungry.
Marina and I only walk to the restaurant to discuss the data that Roland transferred earlier.
Marina passed the entrance of the restaurant before me. The interior of the restaurant was similar to the old diners back then.
She sat down near the exit which is on the left side. The tables were not created of metal but of tough timber as well as the seats.
"My ears are open, speak," She said after flattening the crumples of her blazer.
"The van is gloomy and it was not the same as the other modern vehicles, the plate is ACA 2965, it was a bit blurry and I'm sure that's the plate" I explained after seconds that I take some air.
She set her chin on her hand that is encircled by another hand on the table - she wanted to hear more.
"I didn't tell you to stop, If you wanted to keep the information and that's on you," She said before she called the waitress.
"The 12th Boulevard of Laravel street on the left they took a shortcut to West Nevada and then they proceed to run their wheels out of the hyacinth barricade after passing several districts to move at Twilight City so they hide their ass there but Roland did not give me more footages on their way to the other side," I said.
She listened to my information based on what I have observed from the data before she spoke to the waitress to order.
"We'll have the bestselling dishes as well as the drinks, make sure that they don't make it salty and too pale," She said and then the waitress moved her muscle to scribble down.
"Can I ask what will be your dessert and side?" She glimpses at me and gazes back at Marina.
"We don't want a dessert and the side will be a salad and you?" Marina asked.
"Chips will be fine or Fries instead" I nodded with a smile.
The waitress left.
"Anything else?" Marina raised a question as she place her fingers between her underarms.
"They were alone or they didn't bring any guards on their side, they did not halt their horses but they kept their engine on and they have access to enter someplace to take a shortcut to the barricade but the problem is they kept switching roads" I illustrated.
"They're playing games with us which means they're trying to cover their tracks but not the surveillance footage," She said.
"The other cameras didn't catch the van when they took a shortcut - they must have cut it down or maybe they brought a pirate along" I brush my chin.
"I'll talk to Roland if he got any notion to catch this mouse"
"My ass will come and we need a verification or maybe disguise to enter the other city because they're strict as a cathedral" I leaned forward and then relaxed my muscles to engage more information.
"Fake documents will use it against me if I ever use it as a mask or I will contact the TPD if they have seen a van running around their street" She confesses while her stomach screams for cravings.
"That'll help than risking"
"I recalled that they're slow when it comes to offering assistance that's why I only solve the enigmas alone but yet I always succeed eventually" she took a deep breath before she tells about herself.
"If they don't like helping so we'll help ourselves alone" my nose commences to sniff the floor where the mouth-watering haze comes from.
I'm hungry - I should've eaten breakfast.
"There are these past cases that I didn't solve that is why sometimes I faked it to close the investigation and I cared not to do that again so I will risk my blood to prevail over another one"
"You have me, we can solve this one within a week if possible" I calmly said while she was gazing her eyes at the window - the cityscape was mesmerizing so I gape at it as well.
"If these bastards kept switching paths and migrating for another base, everything will be f*cked up"
"Yes, but in the meantime, we can catch up" I whispered more in a breathy tone and I let my voice involved to the breeze.
The waitress arrived with a plate she carries along with a smile she exhibit.
We ordered the bestselling dishes and it exactly looks like it will place on a bestselling dish from its ititsppetizer and scent.
Mine have fries as a side dish, rabbit porridge on the other side, and a chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy on top as a main dish. Marina already paid the bill but its cash.
"I don't want a see a lady paying bills when going to restaurants and next time I'll pay when we go somewhere," I said.
"How gentlemen of you, you can pay my rent and bills instead" She chortles in the end.
She's cute when she curls her blossomed lips or shows what her real voice is.
"Oh I will my lady," I said before I take a bite from the main dish.
"Tomorrow night I'm not available to talk but I'll help before tonight" I added after I swallowed what I consumed.
"You can as long as you will not say a word to the officer or I'll slit your skin to put your guts out slowly," She said as her brows frowned. I bobbed.
"Tomorrow I'll call support from my friend from Twilight, he's good at conveying and gathering solutions" I declared.
"What will he do to help us?" She asked after seconds running to take a bite of her salad.
"Trading illegally but he's good from not getting snagged by officers"
"The other cases I decipher were easy as a feather and some took me ages and this case might part of it whenever the suspect joins the other ghouls from the other side"
"He can slither away and the only thing we need to aim is where they hide to murder James's children and other victims that are attached to their knife's verge".
She understands my language which is a good thing to happen because if we measured loads of misunderstandings - it is a hundred percent our case will never succeed.
"Alright, I'm almost done and we have to create a thread where they passed by and I'll talk to the warden from the hyacinth barricade if they permit some random van to enter their city," she said.
Oh, they can do that so everything will become manageable.
If we keep asking - we can crack the investigation. Marina and I try to finish our order before going back to WPD.
"Why this metropolis was cut in half?" I was so curious about it so I asked even though she was occupied eating her salad.
"I have no idea but back then, it wasn't like this before and the only reason I know was the twins were madly hate one another so the moment they inherit their parent's seat they decided to cut the home in half,"
"Whom twins we are talking about?"
"The first was Roselee she enjoys staying in the night time that's why she named the city Twilight and the second was Rosalean, she adores seeing snow that's why she name this Winter city"
Wow, it does gives significance but I wanted to learn more about the virus that made people sick but not just that though.
Marina wiped her lips with a tissue beside the flower vase with wither rose inside.
"Can you tell me more about the virus?" I asked once more and she seems pretty annoyed that I kept blabbering like a toddler.
"That's the question that I cannot answer and I told you before to keep your mouth zipped until I say so to open it!" She yelled at the end and then departed to take herself inside her vehicle.
With every breath, she take the more the pace sped up.
A thump formed a thunderstorm beneath the concrete pavements and the zephyr seems modest than before.
The sky barely pull the stars above as the sun haul down slowly but the moment I inspected my watch - it was around four thirty in the afternoon.
She reverses the vehicle after buckling. Rosie Bar still gives a euphoria aura with its lights outside as well as the inside. We left to head to WPD.
She sprints the wheel and lets my body push me against the seat from the acceleration.
That bar should not exist but there's nothing I can do to stop it from existing.
(POV OF MARINA) The car pulled over exactly where this maniac lives and stumble upon the area where I can already sense an ominous aurora lurking on the ground.I saunter ahead to the door to bust in without hesitation. Blasting a light on a dark surface, rumbling the boards, and building a bunch with my anger over fiercely.There it was beneath the flat of the drawer - pictures of his victims before he slaughtered them. Some are not yet dead. I look away to find another.F*ck this is frustrating. I always accumulate cases that are often involved drugs and sex within the homicide crisis. I contacted Melanie who's good at hacking - a friend of mine once. I walk back and forth above the boards until I hear her voice echoing through the speaker. "Hello," She answered. "Hey, you still remember me?" "Marina? Of course yes, I would easily recognize your voice" "I want you to do something, it's an emergency" "New homicide?" "Yes, please we must hustle, umm I w
POV of Marina: Tension pulls me under as I witness another prey spitting blood through the waterholes below the shower. Another girl another bareness. The rain exist as heavy as a shower of splinters. However, the formation of a raindrop is identical to a pebble and the strike is like a boulder from the ridge. I'm wearing a long black coat and a leather hat to protect me from the blizzard in the lane next block still in District Twenty-one. The assistance of the investigation passes me the information about the recent killing - replacing Wilson for the case because of his illness. "Happened before six, same suspect, examining the victim with no weapons beside and we have a visitor right behind that pavement, it's her mother in a red hoodie," Tenny said before he lay his finger at the diner next to the scene. He made an effort his fairest to be heard through those pounds of drops. "Thank you Ten!" I yelled after taking his one printed document in the envelope. I
The slaughtering was insanely pleased my essence.I order her to avoid the strikes and swiftly step forth to impale the talons through its heart, neck, abdomen, and face plenty counts.They bite to free themselves now her scars are again bitten upon.The gashes and strikes made the puppet wailed loudly than the siren's hum. Three left after the row streak of dodging and storming from a foremost quarter of the training.The wolves were supporting each other's out by playing one as a decoy and one for the assault.It is a clever move but the moment I can defeat them. Now it just was - It was a smart plan though.Blood flow through the veins as the crimson fluid splashed onto the skin and the plungplunge and made the beast yearn for more battle to huff the fleshy aura of a deadly predator. Striking through the heart of the last wolf and ripping the skin with claws and teeth after I have slain the last and the rest. It was tiring for the beast as well as my body needed to lie down.I
Myself heard a knock after heeding a piece of music through the chip in my ear. I drop the other things like my shirts and towels that haven't settled on the tables and within the drawers. "Is Wilson here?!" A woman's voice travels through the door so I stroll forth. "Can I help you?" I asked with my brows down after I haul the door. "You the player that Jeremiah kept blabbering about?" I believe this is the Merinda. "Yes ma'am" I nodded. "You free to guide?" "I'll get my things" That was quick in the first half but afterward, I finally fetch the towel and a bottle before reaching out for her. "You familiar with Raven's games?" She asked while her eyes are not on mine. "My intentions are on business" "Ever tame a dog?" "Do I look like that kind of person who can't tame?" "Your look like a guy who eats meat for protein and p*ssy for luck" she rolled her eyes. "What're the rules here?" I chuckled before I asked. We both entered the
I take a shower after I put up with a nap under twice an hour. My frigid fingers towards the cold pour from the shower halt its drizzle.I let it plunge down my abdomen as I shake my complexion to get rid of the drops beneath my chin and fingertips.The haze blurs the mirror so I swept left before I glue my gaze upon the mirror. I fetch my phone after I stroll past the doorframe of the bathroom but yet still in the motel.She's sluggish at picking buzzes. "It's f*cking one in the morning, what the f*ck do you want?" Marina groaned through the speaker. "I've found the location of the manufacturer of the drugs that were probably used by the Vipers along with Romano" I answered. "You sound sick, what's wrong?" Her concern melted my heart yet still along with her irritated tone. "I had a fever so I'll tell chief I'm truly suffering from my fever so I'm calling it a day but still will provide information" "Where did you get the fever?" "From showering I believe but
"What do you want this time?" I questioned with my brows shoved low as the tight space barely took my gust. "Oh babe, you still thinking about that last time?" She grinned after she huff her smoke. "Of course not and stop huffing your smoke in front of my face" I wave my hand from left to right to get rid of the smoke from inhaling it. "I want you to help me," She said. "No drunk crap please" "Aww I knew it but not this time" She leans close and I can sense her haze laying above my chest. "What business?" "I want you to play for tomorrow night at the Raven Tournament because my fighter can't get rid of his booze" She showed me her card and twirled it around the middle of her finger. "You know I have a job right?" I tighten my tone. "Make an excuse and that sh*t won't be that long" she speaks like she never underwent what it gropes to be the son of a mafia. "Bullsh*t Cat!" I slammed behind her. "Don't be mad at me yet, I haven't told you my
