A Love Triangle ~ ASOUE *Discontinued*

Mr. Poe

Continue from last chapter...

Quigley's POV

Carmelita and I... We on our way to town where Mr. Poe used to work and still is. I may be hate Carmelita and so did my siblings and the Baudelaires of course but if this isn't a trap then I should help her to get new guardian or new home to stay... She may doesn't deserve it but to me, she should. This is what I do, to help people no matter what if they were good or bad. Let's finger crossed that Mr. Poe should have more guardians on the list to give Carmelita one.

It's was long silent walking for a hour, trying to find Mulctuary Money Management bank building in this huge city and it was hard to find it while there is traffic and crowd to get passed by... I noticed Carmelita bit slow down as she seem to be fear in crowd, I took her hand and kept her close to me so we don't get separate or lost, she is definitely terrified because she held me quite very tight for dear life.

"It's alright, we almost there." I said trying to calm her fear down or at least lose little grip from me...

But she didn't...

"It's okay." I coos her, I may be sound like I care about her but what did I say, I help people no matter what.

Couple minutes later...

I finally found it and we walked inside, let out breath that I've been holding it in for a while... Carmelita finally let go of me and took deep breath and sigh in relief...

"Alright. Follow me." I said.

I walked up to desk, it's sad that Jacquelyn still not here, I wonder if she's alive or not? Well first of all, she really never work here at all, she was undercover and member of VFD. We have lost so many members of VFD and families who works for them. I just hoping she didn't die either... We don't have much members anymore.

"How can I help you?" The lady at the desk asked... Looking down paper.

"May I see Mr. Poe please?" I asked.

"Excuse me a moment." She said as she stood up and walk through the door that was behind her back.

"Does he knows me? I mean with Count Olaf and other stuff." Carmelita asked sound worried if she may be in trouble or what will happen to her?

"I'm not exactly sure..." I said, I don't know anything about that part because no one told me that Mr. Poe knows about Carmelita working for Count Olaf or something like that because I wasn't there to be honest, "but hey, don't worry. You didn't do much, right?" I asked she shake her head 'no' which it should be alright.

The lady came back and smile, "please come through." She said point to the door as we walked through the door.

I walked up to the desk where Mr. Poe sat... He look up at me then Carmelita.

"Mr. Poe-" I was inturrepted...

Mr. Poe hand up and coughing...

Once he stopped and look at me, "anyway-" I was inturrepted again by his coughing, why isn't he seeing the doctor?! He stopped, look at me again, "This is-" again I was inturrepted...

That's it! I dragged Carmelita out of buildings and kept walking, on way to the Baudelaires apartment... I don't care what will they think of Carmelita but I just sick of Mr. Poe kept inturrepted me when I'm trying to say something very important. I just wish he need to go see doctor or at least get someone else to replace him for him.

"Quigley, wait hold on!" I heard Carmelita screamed trying to catch up but I kept walking as I feeling anger inside because of Mr. Poe, still...

Suddenly I heard Carmelita screamed but in pain, I froze and turned round to see her lying on floor, pouring her eyes out as she held her knee where the cut has start to bleed, damnit! I'm so idiot! I ran to her... "I'm so sorry!" I apologize for couple times...

"It's fine..." Carmelita sniffed her nose and wipe her tears with her free hand...

"It's not okay. I completely forgot you were scared being in crowd and I was ignored you when you call my name and now you fell because of me." I said feeling guilty for what happened to her...

"Why are you being so nice?" Carmelita asked...

"I'm not, I just like to help people no matter what if they were good or bad." I admitted and she smile.

"Wow, you're definitely special boy." She said I laugh and help her up.

"People says." I said smile back.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"The Baudelaires." I said she seem afraid... "Don't worry, I deal with them." I added she sighs...

"But I don't want you do that." She said wow she really care for me too.

"What choices do we have?" I asked.

There was a silent...

"Exactly." I said and look down her knee, it still bleeding, I sighs and knee down then take cloth out of my pocket and tie wrapped round her knee in result she yelp in pain... "Sorry."

"It's fine." She said as I stand up.

"Let's go." I held out my hand for her to take it before through the crowd, she grabbed it and I held her close.

Once we arrived there, I heard Carmelita took massive deep breath before something could happen to her when we will enter inside... I still held her hand... She look at me with almost innocent eyes filled with worries.

"Come on and don't worry." I said.

We walked inside... I found Isadora and Klaus cuddles on couch, watching TV but they weren't really watch it as they were listen to something... Shouting and fighting upstairs which got me confused then I heard...

"You kissed my brother!"

I just realized, Violet must have told him or he just found out himself.

I felt someone tapped my shoulder I turn round and see Carmelita look worry but pointing to something as I turned round again... Isadora and Klaus look so angry, standing there looking at me or mostly at Carmelita.

Oh...
