Chapter Nine

By Kellyq

Carly dashed into the hospital
and stopped suddenly when a woman with long black hair, slanted
piercing hazel eyes stepped right in front of her. She had on a
long white dress that covered half of her breasts. The lady went
by the name of Misty.

Carly groaned, knowing what the
woman wanted. "I'm going to be late for work," she
explained, looking away. Carly never liked the way Misty stared
at her. She always felt violated when Misty's eyes combed her
body.

Misty wore a seductive smile on
her lips as she advanced toward her prey, backing Carly to the
wall. She leaned in, taking a gentle hold of Carly's glasses and
took them off. "Hello there," Misty purred, staring
into dark green eyes.

They looked at each other until
they felt someone staring at them. Misty turned her head to see a
teen with black spiky hair. Each spike had yellow highlights. He
wore a blue jacket over a black shirt, blue pants and knee high
boots. Yusei turned and walked to the front desk as Carly
struggled free.

"Wait, excuse me,"
Carly called out.

She finally pushed Misty away,
but she tripped and fell to the ground with a thump. Yusei turned
and took a few steps, but he stopped when Misty gave him a
piercing look. She crouched down and placed Carly's glasses back
on her face.

"Careful," Misty
murmured. She reached out and caressed Carly's back seductively
once before she rose and walked past Yusei.

He looked over his shoulder and
narrowed his eyes before he turned and helped Carly up, that's
when he caught her name tag. "You're Carly, I presume?"
Yusei questioned.

The young woman blinked.
"Wha -?" she asked slowly. "Oh! That's me! How may
I help you?" she asked, adjusting her spiral glasses.

"My name is Yusei, and I'm
looking for a friend named Kiryu Kyosuke. He was in room 1219,
but now I can't find him. What room did he get relocated
at?"

"Let me check." Carly
walked behind the desk and did some typing. When she was done,
Carly let out a 'hmm'. "It seems like he had been moved due
to having petit mal seizures and not getting the actual proper
care that he needs," Carly explained. By this point, Yusei
wore a dark expression. "He's in room 326, the second floor
on your right."

Yusei nodded his head turned and
made his way to the elevator. Carly looked back at the screen and
read the rest of the profile.

A man about four feet tall
walked down the street. He had short violet spiky hair, and pail
skin. His pointy ears were pierced, and he wore fine clothes.
This man went by the name of Jaeger. His green eyes held a lot of
mischief. A smirk made its way to his dark purple lips. For the
past three hours, he had been followed. Jaeger didn't know by
who, but he was going to find out.

Jaeger stopped and chuckled.
"You can come out now. I know you've been stalking me for
the past three hours."

He turned and came face to face
with Crow. Jaeger chuckled again. "Sorry - but you're not my
type, and I already have a sex partner. Now if you excuse me, I
have more important things to attend to."

Jaeger turned and took a few
steps when a cord wrapped around his wrist, and he was pulled
back. He looked over his shoulder to see that Crow had used a
piece of wire to keep him in place.

"Not so fast you dirty rat
bag," Crow growled, giving the cord a harsh tug. Jaeger
turned fully to face the teen. "I want you to deliver a
personal message to Godwin: He's got about two weeks to start
helping, and if he doesn't - I'll have no problem telling the
police what really happened between him, Rudger, and Yusei's
parents - got that?"

Jaeger raised a brow. "Oh
my," he stated casually, "and who are you to make ideal
threats? I don't think you stated your name. Oh, wait. You look
familiar," Jaeger questioned, a sly look on his face.
"You're Crow, friends of Yusei and Jack."

The red-haired teen snickered.
"Yeah. And you're Godwin's little slut - nice to meet you
too," Crow mocked. He gave the wire another hard tug.
"Now, are you going to deliver the message or not?"

Jaeger closed his eyes, looking
as though he was contemplating. He giggled, and opened his eyes.
"I might have time to deliver the message. Now ... let go of
me before something bad happens to Mr. Kyosuke, is that
clear."

Crow growled and the cord
loosened. Jaeger took the opportunity to take hold of the cord
and pull on it. Crow yelped in shock as he was yanked forward and
then collapsed on the pavement. Crow growled again as he got up,
holding his sore arm, watching Jaeger walk calmly past him.
