The Uniques

Chapter Eleven

ALEC FLY FOUND DEAD IN WOODS

            Early yesterday morning, the body of Alec Fly, the world’s most notorious kidnapper was found in the woods. Fly had just been released from prison the day before, in what was said to be the world’s most unfair trial. Either way, the cunning criminal was said to be shot twice, once in the leg and another in the heart, and he most likely died instantly.

            A call was made using his phone to the police to find his body, and even though the murderer of Alec Fly has not been found, the world is rejoicing at the fall of this crazy maniac who abducted girls and sent them to prostitution.

            The rest of his underground laboratory was raided by the police, capturing up to 300 men and some 30 girls. His guards were put in jail while the girls were released back to their families. Quinn Collier was one of the girls who managed to escape, however, she declines to be interviewed.

            To the families of those 30 over girls, Quinn Collier was a hero.

            The police are still holding investigations, though the police spokesperson, Ted Gretchen did release an official police statement yesterday, stating this, “We are extremely grateful for Quinn(Collier)’s help and we will take over the investigations here and keep the rest of the world updated.”

            Quinn went to the police and reported everything, eh? Eric killed Alec Fly easily and was back a day before I was. My leg was still killing me, but after a trip to the doctor’s, I was put on painkillers.

            She left me in the clearing. This time it was real. I wasn’t hallucinating. How was I so sure? I felt her lips on mine, And it was like 10 years didn’t go by us. It was much more than I ever felt for Lucy, much more than I will EVER feel for Lucy. It was pure fireworks.

            Just me and my stupid mouth let it slip that I had a family! URGH! I could finally be with her, the girl of my dreams, and she’ll already know everything about me. EVERYTHING. God.

            I found Eric and the rest in my town, Raleigh. “Gosh, we thought you didn’t make it,” Lucy said, rushing up to me. Brad came crashing towards me, hugging me tightly. After a few more hugs and kisses, Eric showed me the new camp he reinvented.

            “Come on, I’ll go and get dinner for us,” I said, grinning. Lucy nodded and trailed behind me. As we strolled through the woods, we started to talk. “I thought you were never going to make it back,” she said, clearly worried. “I can handle myself pretty well,” I said cockily, kissing her cheek.

            “Yeah?” she asked, putting her arms around my waist. I nodded, giving her a small smile. “Oh yeah, I tendered my resignation,” Lucy said quietly. “Eh?” I asked, coming to a stop. She urged me along and slowly I started walking again. “We can’t ever go back there. I know, Jamie. We’re Uniques. We have to leave a place once in a while. Once that Gael and Gabriel get released, we need to get out of Raleigh too,” Lucy said, offering the ghost of a smile.

            “So you quit your dream job?” I asked, a little defiantly. “I’ll quit any job for you, Jamie,” she said, bringing me closer. I felt bad. I usually didn’t feel bad when she said stuff like that. It’s called being in a relationship. Sacrificing everything to be with the one you loved. On the trip back, that was the question I was asking myself.

            It was such a simple question, all I needed was a simple answer. Was Lucy Unique the one? I know what it feels like to be truly in love. Sure, Lucy and I looked like the perfect couple, but we’ve been pushing every other bad feeling away in this house and one day, the carpet won’t be able to hold anymore dust.
