Chase (A Arima fan fiction)

Focus

Arima pulled back in his chair. He opened up the file and started to take out the small note papers that were paper clipped on this case. He started to read about the summaries and bio about the suspects. He grabbed the blank white paper and started to take notes. He had a note taking book but it was full.

*1 hour later*

He sighed, the coffee was finished, and he basically wrote a whole book about the case in a blank piece of papers. There crumbled pieces of papers on the floor. He read over the notes but found nothing, not even a drop of clue. He scratched his neck. He took out a cigarette out of the pack next to him. He was looking at the pictures of all the suspects. He noticed something, it was about the location. "The Charville road, I have a book about that case." He ran up to the book shelf and looked for the "Legend of Charville" It was a pretty small book, it was close to fit the pocket. He looked at the Chapter "The People" He started to read over the chapter until he found the name Buck Grines, which was almost at the end of the chapter. There was picture of him and all the facts that Arima needed to know. He read more than twice to make sure what he read was right.

He went up on the big map of his city. He fixed the sharp points that he sticked in the map. He plucked the marker cap right off. He looked at the locations of Buck. He drew a line to where Buck lived and to Charville. He put a bullet point on the location. He continued reading the book, just in case if he found more information on Buck.

*1 and half hours later*

He thew the empty pack of cigarettes on the ground and drank some water. He stretched his arm as he put the book down. He had no clue what time it was. He just wanted some rest but he promised to finish the case. He didn't hear any outside so it must've be pretty late. He was to lazy to get his watch out of the cupboard. His phone was charging and he didn't want to interrupt the charging. He took a long sip of the water until it was empty.

He turned on his car and started to walk to his car. When he got out the building he got a cold chill. He knew he needed his jacket but he left it at his house. He went inside his car and turned on the heat. He started the engine and waited until the engine was warm and good. He went out of the street and onto open road.

He parked his car in his usual parking space which was usually always open. He looked up at the bar and let out his breath. He opened the door and heard the doorbell ring. He didn't see anyone expect two people sitting on the booth. The silent sound of the 1900's music go in the background. He saw Rebekah; they were very good friends. He took a peek at the clock, which said 1:00. Arima let out sarcastic sigh of relief. "Hey Rebekah, how you been," trying to sound as perfect as possible. "Oh nothing, just cleaning out the dishes." "The normal?" Arima gave her a unsteady nod. "So watcha been doing recently?" "Oh you know some case stuff." "Oh, well I might be able to help out, or not?" "I wish but the case is like 2 years old." "Oh your bringing back the X-Files, huh?" Arima put his hand on his face and scratched it. She put the cup in front of him, "Do you ever think about quitting?" Arima's eyes widened, "Wha- What do you mean?" "I mean like don't you ever get tired of going through all this stuff?" He took a sip off the Tai and looked up at the ceiling. "I don't even know sometimes. I mean I like doing this stuff but sometimes its just... different."

"That's an unusual word. Different?"

He took a big gulp of the Tai. After a couple of seconds he was lost in a world of his own. The Tai hit him. He groaned "What do I do now?" Rebekah answered "Just calm down and set your mind free of all the thoughts you have and focus on the case."

"Focus? I might look into that."

Arima thought to himself, all about Focus. He took the bottle and straight up dank from it. He finished the bottle and slammed it on the table. He layed his head on the table and started to think. He could feel the bloodshot eyes coming in. After the mere second of waiting his eyes started to itch.

*2 hours later*

Someone slightly pushed him in the arm. He looked up and saw Rebekah trying to wake him up. "Don't you have to go somewhere?" "Oh crap!" Arima sounded as if it was his last day. He looked into the tiny mirror. He was hectic to put his money on the table. He took his coat swiftly off the odd hook. "Thanks!" He screamed as he slammed the door shut. He was too abrupt to hear the sound of the ding. He glanced at his car and started to run to it. In the distance he listened to the soothing sound of something. He turned the engine and started to pull it out of the parking lot. He glanced at the time that was set on the car and started to drive a little above the set speed limit. Again, he was too agile to see the lights of the car that were going past his car. He could see the dark road to his branch. Something unusual was coming of on the top. It looked like brunet smoke. I closed in to see a huge blaze fire from the building. I quickly drive into the wall. I left everything on and dashed toward the building. 

"N-, no way."

I ran in the building. I gazed everywhere, trying to let the smoke  not come near me. I gave out some coughs. The building was falling down, I could see the part of my office had the least amount of fire. I grabbed the almost burnt door and went in. The desk was on fire, the bookshelf was on fire, and the map. I saw a tape recorder on the couch which had less fire on it. I ran toward it and swiftly took it up onto my hand. I pressured on the red button on the small tape. 

"Hahahaha! You've come a long way. You might recognize the voice, and then you might won't. It all started at Alcatraz, in America of course. Well I'm not gonna explain everything. See I took everything from you... well almost. I have these two pricks here. This is your trial Arima, win it, you find me, lose it, you die. Its not really a trial, just a  phase in your life... of me."

A long second of silence left out on the tape.

"Find me Arima... I dare you."
