Killer-X -shadows of dark-

Chapter 15- Who sent you

I ran to headquarters once after my short hangout with Emily telling my mom I had to much homeworker to make up so I needed to stay and do it at the library, I dialed Kats phone she answered after the second call.

"Jio? What's wrong?"

"Get to HQ now!" I ran inside to find Kat already at the computer she turned to me hanging up. Kat looked completely exhausted she sipped from a drink she got at Mc Donald's there was trash scattered all over the floor. Food containers to bags and bottles used napkins "Kat how long have you been here?" I questioned as I picked up a container inside laid a old half eaten burger it smelled horrible causing me to gag. "Well I um been here told my dad I was taking some mental days off because of Mel so I decided because he's not home anyway I told him I'd be sleeping at your house."

"Mine? And yeah I noticed you weren't at school.."

"Yeah by the way if my father ask your names GIOVANNI and your my female bestie I've been hanging out with for years now." She kept typing on the computer

"Jesus Christ when was the last time you had sleep?" I asked sitting on the table.

"Actually I woke up when you called me I passed out today around 5 this morning I was too tired." She glanced over at me before continuing back to the computer.

"Well did you find anything?" I questioned she turned fully and sighed heavily as she tugged at her messed crazed hair. "NO I DIDN'T I sat here looking high and low on where they sell custom Steele blade katanas with dragon symbols but no one sells them no one Jio! This blade is not found in all of the U.S.A and anyone I ask on black net or deep web they ignore me like if I asked them where do they live!" She began hyperventilating I gestured to breathe "aye let's calm down there I may got a lead.."

"A lead? How?" She rubbed her eyes.

"Emily.. she had small blade in her bag.. same symbol and everything.." I folded my arms and leaned against the table.

"Jio...do you think-"

"I don't know...probably .. thas why I called." I spoke.

"Well when we going?" She began eating left over rice from a take out container then spit it out "this went bad!!"  I sharply gaged "I'm going you're staying here getting rest.." I demanded.
"This again huh? You really think I'm gonna be sidelined?"

"Kat no offense but I'm the leader I say you stay go home get actual rest not petty pass outs from exhaustion besides I'm gonna ask questions maybe give her a scare..nothings gonna go wrong."

She rolled her eyes "you seen the reports of bus full of prisoners?" She turned to me.

"Prisoners? No anybody escaping again?"

"No actually ...no one escaped a prisoner transport bus to Maple strike prison was hijacked later all of them...found dead...gutted like fish.. I figured it was on the news."

"No ..only news I got when by my grandparents were newspapers."

"That old?" She turned in shock I nodded in a disappointed manner. She turned and closed out of her tabs of her computer to show a desk top of her and Mel she was on his back kissing his cheek while he smiled holding the camera. I sat down as she slowly closed her laptop and she let out a deep breath "you know I never even got to know how you two..started dating." I sat examining the katana slowly feeling it's rubber texture. She sighed and turned her chair slightly towards me   "...he started hitting on me I didn't think anything of it cause he was so goofy and always joking around.. did you know he read a whole binary coding book to try and impress me?...he kept telling me fun facts I actually thought he knew what he was talking about then one day we sat at the lunch table and he told me ...when I asked him what his favorite part about coding did he like so much he answered my favorite was how they're making bionic androids with the programming and that it was gonna be just like terminator!" She bursted into laugher as I did to laughing so hard I began tearing up "yeah that sounds like Mel alright.." I wiped my left eye still chuckling.
