The Crime King

another team-mate

Oop suddenly pistols exsisto and police is more useful, but also plot twist

The next day Cross is back to normal, slightly weak but besides that he is alright. Chara told him what had happened yesterday. He was rather sceptical about the idea. The Oreo explored the house and made himself breakfast, some cereal with milk and once he was done eating it he made one for Killer and put it on the table. 

With Chara not in the house Cross nervously walks to his lover's room and finds him already working on the pc, he quietly tip toes behind him before hugging him from behind. "Hi love how are you?"

Killer lets out a small sound of surprise before he quickly turns off his camera and microphone. Cross raises a brow at that. Just what job exactly does Killer have if he is having an online meeting? He leaves those thoughts somewhere in the corner of his mind for later and focuses on Killer instead.

"Crossy don't scare me like that." The skeleton sighs before he turns around as Cross let's go of him, only to hug him again. "I'm alright, how about you? And aren't you supposed to be at work now?"

Suddenly Cross tenses as he remembers about his job. Ah great, he forgot again, he isn't really keen on going there today after yesterday. With the corner of his eye he looks at the cloak and in surprise discovers that he still has an hour before he has to go to the alleyway. "I'm okay, I still have some time before I have to be there. I left some cereal on the table for you."

"Alright, thank you." Cross pulls away and flinches slightly as Killer takes his hand into his own and turns it slightly to look at his radius. In horror the Oreo realizes that he is staring at the mark that Moon had made on it. "What's this?"

"Oh it's.." he struggles to find a good word to describe it. Cross takes his hand away and sighs "it's a tattoo that I got when I was young. It was.. a rather bad decision but there were no refunds and trying to remove it only resulted in damaging the bone.." he rubs his arm awkwardly, hoping that his lover will believe the lie.

Killer raises a brow but doesn't even get a chance to replay as someone shouts his name from the pc and he turns around quickly, turning on his microphone and apologizing. Cross takes it as a chance to leave and that's what he does after he says his goodbyes.

He is quick to put on his hoodie and boots before he leaves the apartment. Chara quickly appears next to him, not able to be too far away with their souls connected. "Where are we going idiot? We still have a lot of time, didn't you see the cloak?"

"I know.." Cross sighs as he walks in the town without a real purpose. On the streets someone catches his attention. Lust is walking with Blue and holding hands on the opposite pavement. He waves and the skeletons smiles at him before waving back. Good thing that at least he is okay.

Minutes go by quickly and in no time he has to go to the familiar alleyway, forgetting about Dusts warning to not go there he puts on his mask and goes to the place. Moon is there, Horror nowhere in sight like usual, and no sight of Dust either. But there is something more surprising than that, next to Moon is Killer.

He turns and looks at Cross only to freeze in confusion and shock as their eye lights meet. He doesn't get to say much as suddenly police sirens start beaming. People are screaming for them to put their hands up. Chara curses as he looks at the entrance to the alleyway already blocked by police cars and a few cops out. He recognizes the three of them. Blue, Dream and Dust.

Was this why Dust told them to not come here today? 

They don't have much time as Blues pistol fires without a warning, the bullet goes straight through Crosses skull and the skeleton almost falls to the ground if it weren't for Killer catching him. "CROSS?!"

 "Give up Nightmare! You won't win this time brother!" Dream fires a few bullets at Moon who covers himself with his tentacles and hisses in response. As Dust looks at them everything seems to happen in slow motion, he drops his pistol and runs until he reaches the two and quickly teleports them away with himself.

Almost everything is black for Cross, his vision in one of the eye sockets gone and everything blurry in the other. Chara constantly fades in and out of existence and everything seems to be swaying before it goes completely black.
