Supernatural Case Files

3 Dollar Ticket

2.2.0
Final chapter.

When her eyes wept but her gaze was still clear enough to look through the deceit.

Hopelessly sitting near the crashed car she hopelessly buried under the wood, Zakura's mind crossed to the time she walked from the bushes and trees, walking past him ignorantly only to be stumbled upon by the trampled car metal piece.

Zakura regretted everything so far at that moment and her concern even more than the previous minute. But her courage was the only one she could strongly rely on for the moment as she courageously faced the man camouflaged deeper in the dark shady woods.

"Show yourself Kayne Orphid. I know you are waiting for the moment to come out on us happily and gladly knowing that we mere girls have no way to escape from you.

I knew it from the moment that I started fearing for myself. I knew that my fear would only lead to a disaster upcoming. This girl has faced so much living so short fearlessly that the fear I felt this time. My trembling hands and my clogged-up mind was for a reason.

I know the demon you are, a demon with evil doings for fun and not to depend on. You are such a merciless creature that used my condition for a bait against the people and also against me."

"Coming from the mouth of a monster who buried her protector from her own filthy hands. The dead girl in that crashed car, do you not think I would use it against you? No matter how you plan your escape you can never escape your misery after I leak that footage evidence online. Consider it a fact. You fucked up your life even before I attempted to and I could never let you roam free after all you have put yourself through my business after being aware of everything. Ichigo Zakura or my darling in crime."

"Don't ever call me with your dirty expressions. I can still survive," shouted the girl who hesitated to die before her poor parents.

Running with all her will at the final moment she stumbles upon some scattered branches to only break her knee badly. With the injury she acquired she still chooses not to stay back and continue only to get caught by the only man that made her fright. Kayne Orphid.

"Such a sorrowful story,
But girl you got nowhere to escape under my notice. Too bad that I can't even let a fool like you go, you foolish people, foolishly getting involved in our business for money. Consider this low you ploughed your grave for money.

You foolish immigrants know nowhere to start and sheepishly enter our lion's den only to escape vaguely. I have handled men like you let alone a frail girl with big dreams.

I can't let you live." Spoke the man as he clutched onto Zakura by her waist only to dump her into the bus.

"How many days till you unite with the car crash friend. Remember, this 3 dollar ticket was your only excuse for this delayed but inevitable death.

Suits well for your cheap stake immigrant family. People who could survive should only enter the nation of America but not any other like your family." Uttered the man as he started the engine to only drive the bus deeper into the forest.

In the hospital, Umber opened up her eyes to see her parents all worried for her, Umber had no choice but to remain silent as her mother hugged her and softly spoke.

"Never have I imagined seeing my dearest daughter in this state. See what this fool promised me when she left home that she would take care of herself since she got a job and got grown already. What has she done to herself?

Darling, look upon yourself. You are messed up in every state possible. Does anyone look this way during their date night?

The scratched wounds on your face. Tell me Umber what happened when you were driving all by yourself?

Tyler helped us a lot this time while connecting with you, helping you, and getting you to the hospital. We were so unaware thinking that you were busy spending your date time.

If it wasn't for the perfect timing that Tyler reached out to you and took you to the hospital. Tyler spoke about how you bled on the spot and your condition when your car got trampled underneath the trees with you still in it and how your car was almost buried in the dark and how he had to constructively save you on the spot.

If it weren't for him I wonder if that was the last time I would see you smile, in my old dress." Spoke Caroline, even tho with her narration, Caroline still wanted to stay strong but her tears broke free before her daughter. Her teary grey eyes and the kid's curious ash eyes as she spoke.

"So it was Tyler who shifted me to the hospital on time, and everything about the car. Mom dad I am alright, I am your strong daughter. Nothing bad would happen to me,"

"Only if it wasn't for your boyfriend. Damn I could rely on that child," Interrupted Danielle.

"Umber, you have worried your mom today, you even managed to get stitches from your surgery and you are allowed to stay in bed till the 2nd of July, away from work, car, and everything. No further doubts to be classified," commanded Caroline.
Umber accepted her mother's words in her sad pout.

"Dad, how is my car?" stressed she.

"It got trampled darling, it's a miracle that you came out alive." Spoke Danielle while being teary-eyed.

"Mom, Dad I am completely fine now, you see me. The incident that happened is my past, I have forgotten it already, and we would leave these distasteful memories behind. The first thing I want on my wishlist is a new car. Dad when I walk out of this hospital I demand a car replacement since I have been driving it before getting my driver's license." Expressed Umber really excited in the hospital bed.

"Maybe, when I get my payment."

"Danielle, you spoil her rotten. She doesn't need a new car. She has involved herself with a fatal accident already." Scolded Caroline.

"Mom, it's the first and last time. And Dad," spoke Umber trying to convince her parents with a sad but cute expression.

"Daughter, I can no longer be any careless if my daughter is one." Some Caroline, Danielle took Caroline's side this time. Apart from everything the parents wanted the children to have enough time to talk so they made their conversation short enough with the daughter so that, Tyler who was equally stressed and had not talked to her ever since would get his time too. With everything that occurred, Tyler sure won the heart of his father-in-law and somewhat gained the trust of his mother-in-law as well.
