'... Please try your call again later.'
Gat had been calling Kyouki since the hour she should have been back. It was now dark out and he had no word from her. She was avoiding him? She had promised to check in once a day. Now it was bugging him.
'She turn her phone off?' The woman was still tight-lipped about what happened when she met with the Samedi. "Ish, I'm going out." If he wanted answers, he was going to have to find a second source.~*Troy's.*~
Troy's address Kyouki left him with had him waiting for the house's owner to return home. He won't do like before, he just wanted an answer. Even if being remotely civil was going to kill him. Gat watched as the car pulled into the driveway, looking like the same one that was parked before. Hopping out of his vehicle. "Yo, Dipshit."
Troy paused. "I don't think you want to be here, Gat."
"No, I do. Lucky for you, I didn't bring my gun."
"We both know you don't need one. What do you want? Kyouki isn't here." Troy rolled his eye's.
Johnny stood at the end of the driveway with his hands in his pockets. Every ounce of him was ready to jump and bash his face in. But he saved Ky. He'll let it slide. "I want to know what happened the night you saved her."
"Can't." Troy went back to getting his bag out of the car.
Johnny took a deep breath and two steps closer. "I'm not asking again." Seeing Troy shrug and ignore him, Johnny blurted out what happened with her passing out a few days ago.
Troy stopped, he placed his bag on the trunk, meeting Johnny half way. "They flushed her system. She said there was a pain in her arm or something like that. Got into an altercation before she woke up with them."
Johnny gritted his teeth. It still didn't explain why she's acting different. They drugged her, that's plausible. Got the jump on her, also plausible. Gat turned to leave. He had nothing more to say.
"When I found her, they had dumped her out on the highway near that old drive in. How is she?" Troy just wanted to know since he hadn't spoken to her recently.
Gat stopped in the middle of the street. Two cars went by before he answered. "She's not one hundred."
Troy sucked his teeth, raking his hand through his hair. Watched as Gat pulled off. He turned, grabbed his bag, and went into the house.
~*Mount Claflin.*~
Kyouki was shaken. That face was the stuff of nightmares. As unintentionally high as she was, His face was beyond recognisable. Why was he now plaguing her? 'No, trick of the light. It was a dream. I wasn't fully awake. Yeah.' That's what Kyouki told herself. The dream alone felt too real. She could feel, feel the darkness trying to pull her down and consume her. Many thoughts Kyouki was having were running so close together that Mr. Sunshine was popping back up. "What did that twisted fuck do to me?"
It was dark on the highway, and luckily light traffic. The figure she saw in the faint light of lightning unnerved her. There were crawling shadows forming in the corners of her eyes. She pulled off, careful not to drive off the cliff as she rolled down the mountain. She knew it was in her head. Just knew, she had overheard some talking about how the man was the real life Boogyman, but that was just talk... Right?
Speeding up the highway, she exited, close to where her family was staying. She couldn't go there. That was out of the question. Kyouki had to decide, either stay with Aisha and Gat, another hard no, or Purgatory and ride this out.
Thinking as she turned the wipers off, there was one who she could camp with for the night. Ky looked down for a second and grabbed her phone from the seat. When she looked up, she slammed on the brake and the distinct thud of her hitting someone.
