Little Blue World: Installment #2

"Do not fold," Benedict whispered in Rebecca's ear.

"But-"

"Draw!" he whispered.

Rebecca drew a card.

"Royal Flush," she said, putting the cards down.

"Dang it. Two pair," Nate said.

"High card," Vyacheslav said, jealously.

"Nate, currently you owe us £15, and Vych, you owe us £40," Rebecca said

Benedict shifted Rebecca's position on his lap.

"Could you not sit on his lap?" Vyacheslav asked.

"Don't be jealous," Rebecca ordered him. "It's not attractive."

"Like I care how attractive I'm being," he answered.

"Well, I do. I am the one who has to be seen with you," Rebecca said.

Now, here we are again, and you must be dying to know how things ended up.

The survivors of the ordeal went back to their normal lives. Kai and Madison went to jail. Madison is currently serving a 5 year sentence ar Australian prison Goulburn, and is eligible for parole in a year. Kai is currently at ADX Florence, serving a life sentence, and will be eligible for parole in 30 years.

As in the Supermax Prisons notorious for being...you know...Supermax?

And recently, Kai has been moved from the Joker Unit to Range 13.

Basically, he's been moved from a Halfway-House to a Coffin.

Besides the point, Madison was in Supermax. Kai was at Supermax.

But Nate, Rebecca, Sarah, Vyacheslav, and Benedict, all ended up in London. Ish.

As soon as the case ended, they (Well, not Vyacheslav) got a lot of letters. From: MI5, MI6, CIA, FBI, Interpol, Department of Defense, MI13 (which isn't even supposed to exist), and Russia, all asking for their help.Of course, Sarah has that burning desire for MI5, so she left Benedict and went straight off to a classified position, and no one really knows if she's in London, Birmingham, Paris, or Venice at this point. Nate joined MI13. Which as far as he says, is basically just a weapon design program.

His broken nose says otherwise. His radiation poisoning says so. Well played, her majesty.

Benedict needed a partner, so instead of taking any of these other positions, Rebecca partnered with Benedict (and proxy by Sarah, that included moving into his flat, feeding him, etc.), and they are working with the British Police.

Even though Interpol, MI6, MI5, the FBI, the Russian Strategic Missile Troops, and the DOD were constantly offering her positions. Rebecca just filed them away in her office.

Her office, by the way, was in Vyacheslav's apartment.

Rebecca and Vyacheslav have been happily dating for a good 9 months now. Most of the reason she doesn't want to take a position anywhere else. Lots of transfers.

Well, she does know that Vyacheslav would just keep going to different field offices, but she doesn't want that. And even though working at Interpol would be nice, and she would be right there with him, still not her thing. Detective work was what she wanted.

She also transferred her Med School credits to Oxford, and well, she is now Doctor Beck.

Rebecca has limited contact with Sarah, and whatever she gets, she has to share with Benedict. But once in a while, she'll get a chance. They both knew that Sarah was getting very dedicated to MI5, and was being very quickly promoted into strategic positions. Example:

"Sarah, I know Vych wants to go back to America, and they have an Interpol field office there , so I was thinking I should join the CIA."

"Don't."

"I know I'm a British citizen and that's betrayal but they're offering me a high position-"

"Don't. Don't say anything else. If you do, I will be forced to execute you by torture. And they use those medieval devices. Such as, the back breaker?"

So, life has been nice for them.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

This was the rhythm of Kai's head and he hit it on the concrete wall in isolation.

He had been doing it so long for, his words were becoming confused.

He knew soon that Congress ruling will be soon on his Sentenance.

Curse his visul thoughts!

Nw he had ben banging fir so lon g, he was words mispelling in hed his. With long confusion and foggy thoughts. Such he ment Surpreme Kurt, not Cogress.

Sooner, later or, he will go cataclysmic.

Sory, I ment he wil go catatonic.

Rhen deth.

Song.

Benedict got Rebecca a Royal Flush, and they split their £90 in winnings. Nate smiled that, once again, he broke even.

Of course, this meant Vyacheslav lost all £90. Even though he knows it only means he lost about £45, since Becca was bound to buy something like a new suit jacket for Vych or go for a day with Vych with the money.

But he was still jealous. He knew that Benedict and her we're just close friends, but he was still jealous. Even though Rebecca had explained it to him like this

"I struck out. I've got Anton Yelchin right here. Russian accents beat British accents, and you pronounce your own name Wyacheslav. Both of us are Jewish. You have really awesome hair. Now, why, with all of that, would I like Benedict?"

And Vyacheslav explained it to her a little like this:

"Because, you've got Anton Yelchin right here. Because Russian accents beat British accents, and I pronounce my own name Wyacheslav. Because both of us are Jewish. Because I've got awesome hair. Women always want something unattainable."

Rebecca then explained that she was to lazy to put the effort into Benedict, but this issue has never been truly resolved.

"Kai, you have done everything wrong. You made the world start using "Public Enemy" again," Jennifer, his lawyer, told him.

"I know," He said.

"Last week, 10 of the offenders who attacked women here were killed. Don't you think...that uh...you're next?" she explained.

"Know," he said.

"Can you say anything else?"

"Sí, señor."

"Are you okay?"

"Suuuuuuureeeee."

Then a drop of blood dripped down the side of his head.

"Oh my God, someone call a doctor!"
