I slowly walked up to where Dick was hanging. I touched one of the stab wounds. The blood was fresh. It takes presicely four minutes for blood to coogulate. The killer isn't far away.
..........................Suddendly, out of nowhere, I felt breath on the back of my neck.
"I have been waiting for you Madeline,"
"That's understandable, Jenner,"
"Oh is it? Good. Maybe you will come along easily without a fight,"
I stood stock still. I felt the barrell of the gun he was holding to my head.
"You wish, Jenner. You wish," I said barely above a whisper.
"You're correct. Always was a smart one weren't you, Madeline? Atleast that's what your father told me right before I killed him,"he sneered," and it was all for you. YOU! He laid over you like it was one of those sick romance movies. He begged and pleaded. I was quite enjoying the moment, when I picked you up and cradeled you in my arms. You began to cry. That was the moment when I put the gun slowly to his head and-" Bang. I knew the story. I knew that was the word he was about to say. But that bang. Was the real one.
While he was so caught up in his sick fairytale I was able to draw my gun and take careful aim at his feet. He was gonna lose a few toes with that one. I knew the hallway echoed and I knew that Derek and all of his men woould soon be coming to my rescue. Like I needed rescuing. I had just defeated Jenner. For the moment anyways.
I took one last look at him and-
"Madeline! Madeline! Oh God, wake up! Please wake up, Chet go get me somthing."
"What sir?" Chet asked.
"I don't know give me something!!" Derek was screaming.
"I...ooh..." I mumbled trying to get back to the surface. It was foggy. Or no, like I was underwater. I could breathe but I couldn't see anything but darkness, I was dizzy,and I couln't make out the words I wanted.
"Madeline! She's awake!" he cheered.
Suddendly, my eyes burst open and it was bright. I could see. Derek was kneeling and my head was draped over his lap. I could see blood on my hands and my legs. Oh no. What happened. It was then that I remembered my little dream.
Chet was back with some water. i took it greatfully.
"What happened?" my voice cracked.
"Well, sweetie, when I sent you to look for Dick to get your assignment, you saw him.....like....that....and we all know you don't do well with blood. You passed out," Derek explained.
Sweetie? What was that about?
"What do you want Derek? You called me sweetie!"
"Uh, I,.....Oh God," he mumbled.
"Where's Jenner? Did you see what i did to him?" I asked.
"Jenner is still in lockdown like he was all week. You didn't do anything to him. I was watching. You walked down the hallway, touched something and passed down. I came running to see if you were okay and thats when we found you...and Dick,"
"Oh. Is he....you know?" I asked, not really wanting the answer.
"Yeah. He- He's gone, Maddie." I hated people to call me Maddie, but I let it slide. People were dying and Derek, Chet, and 30 other men were standing around me to see if I was okay when I passed out over blood? This is sick. I told him so.
"Well, Madeline, we saw the killer, one of Damascus' followers we assume. Team 64 is out hunting him down,"
Damascus is another criminal like Jenner. I tried to standup but my head was pounding.
"Ahh. Maybe you should wait another day on that assignment Madeline. You definitly aren't well," He looked me up and down. I stood up this time.
"No, I need to do this. For Daddy. No more downtime,"
"Alright. The jet is waiting at the airport. Flight number 26. It's private. Dale and Rudy are going with you for security. Your seat has a top secret information packet in it with your assignment, money, gathered information so far, and also an old english phrase book because you're british now. The plane is also equipt with a beauty team that is sworn to secrecy. Rachel is the hairdresser, she is going to make you match the apperance of Madge perfectly,"
I started to walk away. When I heard Derek call my name. I turned around.
"Madeline, I was so worried. I am glad you're okay and I am sorry for the outburst earlier,"
With that I walked away ready to face the world and all it's criminals.
