Brook X GN Reader || I'm The Grim Reaper

Chapter 88

"So?" Chase asks the frozen crowd. "Get out of the way, or we'll just have to make a mess."

He pauses, waiting for a reaction, but they stay still. He starts counting down and they all shuffle to make a path for them to pass through, stepping back. You can imagine what their faces would look like behind their masks, and the thought makes you grin. God, you hate the police.

Chase smiles smugly. "Good choice, boys." You roll your eyes because he didn't even have to do any of the grunt work. He glances behind him at Scarlet, who seems to be calming down now, and murmurs something unheard to anyone besides her. "Alright," You hear her say, and they start walking in the pathway that the police had carved out for them with their bodies, toward you and Brook on the other side of it.

Brook has the pink clothe covering his mouth, glancing at Chase wearily. You sigh heavily and lean on his for a moment because you know you can't exactly feel exhausted, but you are exhausted. It was fun, but you haven't fought like that with mortals in a long time.

"We leave you two alone for 3 hours and you get into this shit." He grumbles, and you grin at the feeling of his hand on the small of your back for some sort of comfort and stability like he used to do during meetings.

Chase glances to the side, looking unnerved. "I'm curious to know how we got into it in the first place," He admits, and you raise an eyebrow. "We just went in to see Scarlet's body, and none of our questions got answered... I did punch the guy who was giving Scarlet shit, but as far as I know, that shouldn't get the riot police called on me." He says, pissed off because he can't figure out what the fuck went wrong.

"I absolutely was Judah," Scarlet says from behind him. "I'm realizing now... That I fell for it..." "Fell for what...?" Scarlet swallows. "There was something wrong with the body, that only I would have known." Brook narrows his eyes. "Like?" Chase asks, not turning his head to look behind him.

"I think I should probably just show you. Later." Chase's eyes widen and he pauses. "Uhm. Sure. There are a few things I need to tell you about too, whenever we get the chance. I'm not sure where to go from here though, since I doubt that they're just gonna leave us alone." Chase says to you and Brook, you realize has turned around slightly so you're just leaning against his back. You straighten up because it's probably not very comfortable for him.

"Ahh, I'm getting hungry, too... After hanging out with you three so much, I'm starting to realize that being a human is super inconvenient.

Brook is quiet for a moment. "I think I might have somewhere we can go," He says quietly, and you grip his shirt in case he runs off. You honestly feel really clingy right now. You just want to touch him in some way, and holding his shirt helps.

You grin as you crawl through the tunnel slowly. Chase makes a sound of pain from behind you and you feel the vibrations of him hitting his head on the top, making you let out a bark of laughter. Brook lets out a huff of amusement through his nose. "Ow, ow, ow... God damn it Brook, Deer, can you tell us where we're going already??"

"The Red Spades set up a huge maze of tunnels between their various hideouts," Brook explains. "They would get shuffled around a lot, so anyone not familiar would just get lost and die down there." You continue. "Besides reapers, obviously. It's how I found out about it. I think I was down here for almost a full day before Brook found me, super panicked because he thought I missed my sinner that day and Satan sent me to Hell again."
