Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018

Chapter 19: Shell*

"You could at least show a little sympathy! You looked at my father without a care about what you did... and it's the same for Furfrow!" Tears ran out of the guy's eyes, the one who was still pointing a knife at my neck in the middle of the daylight that was close to leaving into the horizon. I stared at him blankly, staring at him trying really hard to glare down at me, but tears overflowed his face

"You have some balls to do this where police officers are very close by. I would had expected you to know me better than this... you know what your father did, and now that it came to Furfrow, what do you want me to do? I never even met the thing" I narrowed my eyes

"You could had saved it! You could had!" I grabbed his wrist, forcing him to drop the knife, and I twisted his arm to freeze him in place

"Stop it, I could had if I happened to be around... I wasn't... I only came here to Kalos for one thing... this is my first time in the route" I lied, but I had nothing to do with the murder "you're being delusional... I need you to calm down before something serious happens" his arms were shaking, staring at me in my deadly looking eyes he slowly started to freak out about

"Serenity..." he sobbed. I pushed him on the ground, making him look up at me

"Such disrespect... after what you promised me, you dare to put a knife to my neck?"

"Promised..?" Shauna asked "C-Calem..?" From the corner of my eye, Shauna was looking at Calem terrified. I looked at him widening his eyes murderously. Remembering how he looked back in my dream, I'm sure what just happened triggered him. I put my attention back on the guy staring up at me

"This is a old... coworker of mine" I explained "I didn't recognize him as Calvin, but Romeo, that's now I know him... don't worry, he's no one too important"

"I find that hard to believe" Tierno said. A police officer came by to check up on us. Romero quickly stood up and dismissed him

"Forgive my rudeness..." he looked down at us "I should had known better..." he bowed "I got too emotional. After all that's happened, I couldn't think straight. This shouldn't had affected me, but Furfrow..." he cupped his face "meant more to me than..." I closed my eyes

"Is this a appropriate time to say I'm sorry?" He looked up and chuckled

"Sorry? Looks like you haven't changed... no emotion as always" he wiped his face clean "with Furfrow..? This wasn't your fault, yet I let out my anger out on you. To think I involved my dad?" He laughed "how sad"

"What do you mean? What happened to your father-" Trevor was cut off

"I didn't think you'd get yourself friends, Serenity" Romeo smiled "Shauna, I didn't think you'd be friends with such a outstanding woman" I rolled my eyes

"She is pretty amazing" Shauna smiled "she's the most bravest person I know, next to Calem!"

"You're lucky to have gotten yourself a good group of friends. It's too bad Serena had been missing for awhile. How is the search?"

"Still ongoing" I said

"Oh? You know her"

"Serena is her sister!" Trevor said. Romeo looked surprised before believing it

"That's right, now that I think about it, you two were pretty close to looking the same" I narrowed my eyes, hoping he wouldn't spill the beans "except for the attitude and everything else. Does your friends know anything about you?"

"No, and it's none of their business"

"Still the insecure one, aren't we? What do they know? Do they know about our engagement?" I rolled my eyes. Everyone had dot eyes. Calem started shaking violently
