Blood Dept: Trail Of Corpses

Chapter 17:The Way Home

   We didn't talk about anything that went on in that room, at least not in English. We all gathered our stuff, including the food in the fridge and freezer, and threw it into the trunk of the car in a cooler before finally leaving the campsite.

   As I looked back I saw a silhouette, it was probably late morning now so I was confused on why I couldn't see their features from there. They were waving at me and pointed to the window beside me, I looked at it with a raised brow.
   "Good luck, you need it. Deadline Sept.10" It said, I sighed at the note but it was on the inside. How did they get in without setting off the alarm? I don't remember anyone going outside to the car before we did today. I took it off the window and Sora glanced at me looking at the note as well.

   "Whatcha got there?" She said with her arm out of the window as the car started to move onto the road, Tsuki was Driving again.
"The thing from last night," I said putting it in my pocket after folding it a few times,  she rolled her emerald green eyes.
   "This Vacation was a bust, my wrist still hurts from whatever happened yesterday night, I couldn't even see what was going on. It was like I was drunk at a party all over again" she laughed.
   I glanced at my wrist to see something flash ever so dimly, if this happened last night why was the wound healed for me? Was I out longer than expected...? I shook my head a bit while putting my wrist down to my thigh and eating something quietly with my eyes half-closed, I noticed that I was still tired though my body woke me up early for no reason. I leaned up against the window and closed my eyes. 

   The car was often quiet the only time it wasn't was when Sora was in the front. Never again.
The forest was beautiful, at least that is what Tsuki told me, As I slept and I probably missed a lot of sights including those red lights shielded from the sun by the shady trees, he told me he didn't want to look at them and had to keep looking to the road hoping whatever happened would stay here.

   As I slept I started to go into thought about my wrist again, it would all come together if I was missing for a few weeks and that was why they weren't as traumatized as me, but what about Sora? What happened to her? There were so many questions I wanted to get to the bottom of that I guess I have to write them down.

    I ended waking myself up again, I could feel a groggy sigh escape my lips but little did I know it would disappear. I was writing the whole ride, a list of questions and a possible answer on pages of my notepad, I wanted these questions and all of them as fast as I could while gathering this money... 82,250 I think it was again, I had to write that down too.

   "Sora," I said side-eyeing her as she looked at me from the window, she was sticking her head out to feel the wind.
   "Wot," she answered as I quickly went into a frenzy of questions.
 "What happened to you last night do you remember? Any faces? Any descriptions you can tell? Anything?" I went on my pen to the paper, I probably sounded like a news reporter.
   "Woah there one question at a time-" she said as her brain probably blue screened for a second.
   "Uh so, idono I was snatched while trying to look for the cabin and then I was in this cell and let out into the forest to probably die but that's like jail so it's cool-" she said without a care in the world.
  I was surprised that the same thing that happened to her happened to me, I was truly interested in her nonchalant answers.
"What were the other questions again...?" She said slowly with a nervous smirk making me facepalm.

   "Any faces? for descriptions?" I repeated and she took a long minute to think, as she did this I glanced at Tsuki who side-eyed me for a second before looking back to the road, Amber just didn't look back at me at all. My pen was tapping the paper constantly until she answered.
"Well they were chubby, and wore masks one of them had a crooked face like a cleft lip or somethin"
 I slouched over in disappointment, I knew all of the things. From what she told me I must have been through the same thing she had but what about Amber? I turned to her and she felt my eyes on her and looked back at me it was an awkward silence until I said something but I was immediately interrupted by her knowing what I was about to say.

"Besides me about to be sacrificed the same thing, leave it be." She growled making me lean back in my seat as I take down the notes anyway. I just wanted to get back to my bed again.
