Chapter 14 part one David glanced around him to see who was close by. None of his friends were, well if he could call them friends. He continued to talk to Chrissy and Isaac, "so you both know what the plan is?" He says quietly. Isaac thinks for a second before shaking his head. The mop of white blond damp hair shook as he turned his head. Chrissy sighs, "your plan won't work; he can barely look at me, yet alone speak to me." David mutters under his breath and runs a hand through his unruly black hair. "I said you talk to the girl he was with." "How can I do that when I don't know anything about her?" "Improvise." "Improvise? You have to be kidding me." "You're doing it now just to try to get out of this." Chrissy sighs as she ruffles her short, roughly styled blood red hair. "Yeah, whatever." "I don't get what I have to do." Isaac says raising his hand slowly to get their attention. "We have to stop them." Naufal says just as Susma puts their drinks on the table. "How are we going to do that without them knowing?" Susma asks sitting down. Leo shook his head slightly, "it won't stay secret for long though will it?" Lucy sits in thought, listening to the boys chat. I've always known that Chrissy likes Leo. So what if I throw that dog a bone and see if it distracts her enough... "I have an idea." Lucy says spontaneously before she can stop herself. The trio of boys look at her, and she can't help giggling slightly at their faces. "Okay, shoot." Susma comments causing Naufal to clip him around the back of his head. "Don't do that again." "Ah dude that hurt." Susma replies rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head gently. "Guys, I was thinking we throw the dog a bone." "By dog you mean Chrissy don't you?" Naufal confirms. Lucy nods "yeah. Anyway, as we know she's harboured a crush for Leo..." "What?" Leo spits out his banana milkshake in surprise. "Bro that's my top." Susma complains trying the wipe the spots with a napkin. "You guys didn't tell him?" Lucy asks Susma and Naufal. "We thought you were going to tell him, like you just did." Naufal laughs. Leo regains his composure and shivers slightly at the thought of Chrissy liking him. "How do we throw her a bone?" Susma asks curious. Lucy smiles "well... I'm with Leo so she can't get to him. If we pretend to split, Chrissy will probably jump on him wouldn't she?" The boys nod, although Leo does rather hesitantly. "What do we do after that?" Leo asks. Lucy laughs "be patient, like we are fishing and waiting for a bite."
Chapter 14 part 2 Nyx tapped her foot impatiently. Her waitress was a lot slower than Susma was the day before. She glances around the restaurant, Susma stands up from his friend's table and immediately gets called over by the girl who was stood watching the sisters argue. "Can we have the bill please S?" Elene asks. The money is already piled by Josè which Susma notices. "You've already got the money ready," He laughs, "but yeah, okay it'll be here in a second." He walks to the nearest till and brings up their order. He presses print receipt then takes it over to Elene. "There you go. Thank you for coming." Susma says as Josè slides the money across the table. He counts it and smiles, a penny over; like Elina always used to do at first. "Thanks for having us S." Elene replies and stands up like the rest of the group are doing. The curiosity about how that group worked filled Nyx's mind. How can they do that? A couple of them seem to clash with their personalities, but the group looks peaceful overall. Hang on; that's Kassia who I gave my card to, no wonder she hasn't phoned me. She's with them... She rolled her eyes and finished her drink. Then she saw Susma on the way back to his friends table. Neither of the two guys already sat on the table watched Nyx when she walked in as their minds were already occupied on someone. "You let them go?" Naufal asks Susma as he approaches. Susma nods slightly as he replies "they needed to go; I could tell." "To do what?" "Well Titania knows about David's plan, maybe they're going to back to an apartment to figure out a plan." "That's what you hope anyway." Naufal almost snarls. Susma looked at his friend shocked. "I don't want to loose another friend." He says quietly while putting their receipt down and walking off. "What he said was true. You shouldn't of said it like that." Lucy says standing up and walking to Susma. "Lu..." Naufal says as she walks away and turns to Leo, "you know I didn't mean to say it like that don't you?" Leo smiles in reply. "Look, don't get worked up about this." Lucy says rubbing Susma's arm gently in reassurance "I know he didn't mean to bite like that. It's just that I'm shocked about what they're going to do." Susma says after moving Lucy's hand of his arm. She smiles sadly "we all are. You saw Josè's reaction." "They shouldn't get away with this..." "There's nothing we can do." "There is one thing..." Susma starts slowly looking at Lucy, "tell David's commander." "We need solid evidence that he's gone crazy." "He's doing this over a girl..." "We haven't got any videos or any pictures, or even any emails or messages we can look into." Susma's eyes lit up then. He glanced around to see if anyone was listening. "He has Chrissy and Isaac on his home email list. I can look at it." "Without him knowing?" "He works on my day off." Lucy smiles. She takes a deep breath to calm herself. "Sure, have a look. He started this Hell, we'll make sure he doesn't get away with it."
Chapter 14 part 3 "What's taking them so long?" Naufal comments. Leo has been watching Lucy, seeing the smile and deep breath. "They've come up with something to nail David." "How can you be so sure?" "I know my girlfriend's body language." "Now it's just working out what was said." Lucy smiled as she walked over, back to their table. She glances around her before sitting down. "Guess whose emails are getting looked into when he is at work." She says, her eyes bright with excitement. "S is looking at his emails?" Naufal asks slightly shocked. "He has Chrissy and Isaac, so S is looking to see what has been received and sent from either of them." The boys laugh. David was hitting hard, but they were going to hit back harder. Rick still had Nyx in his head. Her ebony hair scorched his mind. He watched Kassia walk with Eg chatting. Josè glanced at Rick walking beside him. "I take it you still don't know where you stand." "No, what about you?" "I'm just so confused at the moment." Rick nods in agreement. Josè stops walking causing Rick to stop and look at him confused. "I'll tell you what, we watch each others backs." "What do you mean?" "If Kass says something about you, I'll tell you and if Titania says something about me, you tell me." "Yeah okay. Just don't make it obvious that you are listening." "Since when do I do that?" "All the time." Rick says walking away from Josè laughing. Josè looks at his own feet quickly and then starts jogging to catch up "wait up." Kip smiles as he watches Eg talking with Kassia "I recognise you from somewhere, not just from stopping the argument. Somewhere else." "I've worked at the council building that's probably where you have seen me." "What did you work on then?" "I cover your arse when you call in ill." Kassia replies laughing. "Oh that's where I've seen you." Eg laughs, the pair finally had something in common. Kip glances back at Josè and Rick "have they got further back?" "I have no idea." Doros says after looking back. Kip just shrugs in reply and concentrates on where Eg is leading them. 'You do have an idea you liar.' 'How do you know? You can't read minds.' 'I know what you are like.' She shuts off their mind link and starts talking to Titania.
Awwwww thank you, I'm thinking of continuing this as I've hit a bit of a writer's block with my other story, writing something different for a while helps me think.
