A KILLER'S INSTINCT

CHAPTER SIX

A week later, Emily sat on her desk staring at a picture not noticing when Scott walked in "hey, are you okay " Scott asked dropping down a magazine she hurriedly put the picture away when she heard Scott's  voice "can't you knock?" She asked with a hint of anger in her voice "you sent for me" Scott replied "yeah ...I ......em " she ran hand through her well styled hair some how, scott could  read  her. the twinkle in her eyes, the expression on her face, her skin a shade darker it was one of his wendigo senses "you're sad" Scott said. Emily raised up head to look at Scott and wondered if her expression was that obvious '' I need you to get ready cause we are leaving next weekend" she said ignoring his statement

     "Where are we going?" Scott asked surprised
       "Didn't Mic tell u ? I have to go seal a deal with shakira but she's really hard to  contact these days so we are gonna take the business to her. I need a  photographer and I choose u" Emily explained "why me?" Scott asked
    "Cause Emerson, for some reason I.... trust you" her eyes met with his and she thought there was something about Scott apart of his looks, that quietly pulls her to him she couldn't explain it.
     "How long are we going to stay there" Scott asked not seeming to notice her prolonged stare at him "i don't not know for sure probably a day" she replied Scott didn't say one more word until he left her office.Scott was having a bad day full of work. His department was very busy especially at that hour. I one of the  things Scott hated was thinking when working but it was now inevitable cause he had a lot on his mind. He tilted his head to the direction of Emily's office and saw the detective pete Mcbrad that was an occurring face  on tv, speaking to miss Crane. Scott didn't plan on listening in on the conversation but it just happened they were  discussing the where about of Steven Crane by the sound of Pete's voice, he was hell bent on finding Steven "hey..... yo Emerson" his boss tapped him causing him to focus not on Emily's conversation "I know miss Crane is pretty and all and you cant keep yur eyes off her but will u stop staring and get back to work. His boss added
"That wasn't what..........you  know What, forget it " suddenly realizing he can't explain using his WENDIGO hearing to listen in on miss Crane's conversation and he was actually staring absent mindedly.An hour later, Scott punched the elevator button
then it opened inside, stood someone he didn't plan on seeing. In the elevator stood Raven Rite on her face was a cold unwelcoming smile scott got in and punched another button the elevator dinged and closed "we have to stop meeting like this"Raven said but there was no response from Scott "don't you have something to say to me?" Raven asked turning to face him with her hands folded and a hint of anger in her voice "look am sorry for leaving you at the bar if that's what you're hoping to hear" Scott apologized but not sincerely "Is that all you're going to say?" Raven asked walking close to him obviously angry Scott turned and face "I just said sorry what more do you want from me?" He responded and took a step closer getting irritated by her questions "you're  so rude and annoying!" She yelled "it's not my fault you 're a  spoilt brat. you can't handle rejection?" controlling his voice Scott fired back 
        "I could fire you right on this spot!"
  "I don't work for you miss Rite"
He walked closer to her absent mindedly
"I......." she stopped short when she realized she couldn't get any closer to Scott they were already too close she struggled with her self to take a step backwards but could not her eyes were locked to his. As if under a spell, they couldn't stop staring Scott's eyes drifted away from her eyes down to her lips looking at those lipsticked lips made his heart race a hundred miles per second he slipped his hands into her hair and the other hand he raised to her cheek allowing the back of his fingers to linger down her rosy cheeks way down to her chin he drew her face closer to his lips she didn't resist all she thought about was the feelings she felt at that moment his lips touched hers and passionately they kissed never wanting too stop but to just live in that moment "ding!" the elevator opened he let her go but continued staring. her eyes were unreadable he didn't know what she was thinking he couldn't concentrate and use his senses to read her expression he didn't even know what he was thinking  his hands dropped from her cheeks then he walked out from the elevator living Raven standing with her disorganised thoughts.

****************
Richie was at work when he received some pics of Scott the wendigo he laughed at it and considered it a prank when he got home, he showed them to Scott who was shocked to see them what were they trying to do expose him? Those were the questions he asked himself "I wonder who would try to prank you" Richie said still filled with laughter
"I don't know......but am leaving" Scott announced trying to change the topic "but God, this creature l
o

oks so real and ugly.....scary the prankster sure knows how to...."
    "Did you hear what I said?" Scott interrupted taking the pictures away from Richie "yeah, I heard something about leaving where are you going?" Richie finally asked "my boss wants to sign a fashion deal with lady gaga and apparently she needs a photographer" Scott explained taking off his jacket "and you're chosen?" Richie asked almost in disbelief
   "Is it so hard to believe?" The formal asked
"You're lucky.  not every one gets special treatment from there boss"Richie said in a mischievous tone "you make it sound dirty" Scott responded taking out two pierces of meat and placing it on a plate "I can't believe you didn't tell me you went out with THE Raven Rite "
  Scott faced Richie almost alarmed "How did you know about that" with the meat half way to his mouth he said
"bro am Richard Hills I know a lot of people who know people"
    "It wasn't a big deal" Scott replied chewing the content in his mouth and discovered it tasted way better than usual "your voice is usually cool but there's an unusual coolness in it right now which means you're telling a lie "
   "i don't want to talk about it" Scott replied drinking water from a bottle "some times I wonder if you're ever going to be romantically involved with any one"Richie said in a thinking state "my life is too complicated" with this, he went up the stairs Richie looked at the meat on the table and thought "isn't this raw?"

At 8 pm,Richie sat on the couch trying desperately to finish the work that had been assigned to him by Raven when there was a knock on the door he dropped on the table  the heap of magazines on his lap and headed for the door. Richie opened the door and saw a mail man 'strange'
"Are you Scott Emerson?" The mail man asked "no but you are in the right house" Richie said looking at him with suspicious eyes and taking the later from the mail man who held it firmly without letting go "let go!" almost angrily Richie said suddenly the mail man drew out a knife from his pocket and slit Richie's Palm the man immediately let go of Richie's Palm and ran away "hey!" Richie exclaimed looking at his injured palm. Without wasting time, Richie went upstairs to Scott's room to give his mail and narrat his experience. Scott sat on his bed studying some pictures when Richie walked In "the weirdest thing just happened"Richie walked towards Scott stretching his injured Scott looked up at Richie's hand and the sight of of injured flesh, he jumped out of his bed and rested his back on the wall hyperventilating "what's up with u?" Richie asked alarmed. Scott couldn't take his eyes off the blood "Get away from me" Scott begged breathing heavily "something wrong?" Richie with a confused face  attempted to walk towards him "Get away from me !!!" Scott yelled swinging his right I'm the air recklessly as he fell to the ground sweating profusely he could feel the wendigo struggling to get free it wanted  a taste Richies  flesh. Richie was dumbfounded when he  saw black veins creeping up Scott's body. he took hasty steps back then ran out of the room down the stairs and out of the house. Scott couldn't hold back any longer so he let it out.
