Chapter 16 - Chapter 15 Selina The Cop

As Silver and Amber arrived back at the hotel Silver collapsed onto the bed and said "We finally made it back." Amber nodded and said, "It is nice to be here again." Silver glanced at her and said, "I'm gonna get a bath, I hope you don't mind." Amber stared at him and said "Ok." Once Silver left the room Amber glanced around and said "I never realized it before but, this hotel room, is really empty." Amber began to look around as she said "Maybe if I look hard enough I can find something mysterious."

Silver glanced into the mirror and said "Still feels off somehow." As Silver lowered himself into the water he let out a long sigh and said "I guess mirrors don't suit people like me." Silver stared at the roof and asked "What am I even talking about, I should probably think more about that thing." Silver leaned all the way back and said "Some sort of person with metal arms and intelligence way below your typical human."

Silver sank into the bathtub and said "This all started happening after I met Amber, or maybe it was when I broke into that place, or maybe the nanobots." Silver sank completely under the water while saying "All this thinking is gonna drive me insane, maybe I should just give up on thinking." As the door opened Silver sat up and glanced at the door. As he saw Amber's head peeking out from behind the door he asked "Is something wrong?" Amber stared at him nervously as she said "I-I accidentally did something bad."

Silver glanced at her hair and noticed dust and small flakes of dirt in her hair as he asked "Were you rolling around on the carpet?" Amber took a step into the bathroom revealing that she was covered in dust and dirt from head to toe. Silver stared at her and said, "I guess that is a bit of a problem." Silver stared at her and said, "If you'd like you can just get in with me, I'm not doing much besides thinking anyway."

Amber's face went red as she shook her head and said "N-no thank you, I-I'll just wait." Silver stared at her and asked, "Are you sure, you might be waiting a bit." Amber nodded and said, "Y-yeah I can wait." As Amber left Silver leaned back once again and said "Guess the hotel is a lot dirtier than it looks." Silver glanced back at the mirror and said "Well I guess that's what happens when you have to live in one of the cheapest rooms to not draw any attention."

After about a half-hour Silver got out of the bathtub and said "There we go, I got all the blood off of myself." As Silver stepped out Amber stared at him and asked "A-are you done with your bath?" Silver nodded and smiled as he said "Yup, the bathrooms all yours." As Amber entered the bathroom there was a knock on the door. Silver stared at it for a moment and then began to approach it slowly while reaching for his gun. As he made it to the door he opened it quickly while aiming the gun at whoever was at the door.

As he aimed the gun at the visitor he noticed that it was the female cop who he had helped out before. Silver lowered his gun and said, "Sorry, I thought you were a sword-armed human." The female cop stared at him and said "It's fine, just so you know I'll be watching you for a while, I am here on official business and even have a warranty, my goal is to protect both you and that girl." Silver stared at her and asked, "Is this about that thing?" The cop nodded and said, "You can call me Selina, I hope I can protect you both while you're under my watch."

Silver stared at her and said, "That sounds pretty useless." Selina walked into the room and said, "Yeah well I don't like the thought of watching you either, but in the meantime, I think we should get to know each other." Silver stared at her and said, "Selina was it, look we don't need your help, I'll be able to handle it just fine." Selina sat down on one of the beds and said "Yeah well not everyone has that regenerative ability of yours." Silver glanced at where the stab wound was and said "I can still die even with that, but just because I can doesn't mean I will."

Silver leaned against a wall and said "If another one of those freaks wants to show up I'll be sure to end it quickly." Selina stared at him and said, "Dealing with mostly human creatures is a very quick way to end up in jail." Silver stared at her and said, "That's also unlikely to happen." Selina stared at him and asked, "And why is that?" Silver smiled and said, "I've gotten out of tougher spots than that before, all it takes is a convincing sob story about being attacked and having your hand forced."

Selina stared at him and asked, "Does this mean, you were the one who killed that man?" Silver smiled and said, "Most of the murders in this area are from me, of course, quite a few of them are amateurs as well." Selina aimed a gun at him and said "Get down on the ground." Silver glanced at her and said, "Not a smart idea miss police lady, if you shoot me as far as they know you just shoot an innocent person." Selina lowered her weapon and asked, "How would you know."

Silver held a badge up and said "When you walked into this place uninvited I stole your wallet, your only a rookie cop so not many people will believe you." Silver tossed her both her badge and wallet as he said "Now hear me out if you can help me out with a few things I can help you catch a few criminals." Silver stared at her and said, "Now before you say I'm a criminal let me just say that most of the people I've killed are bad people, I'm not saying I'm innocent, but I'm not just a murderer."

Selina put her gun away and said "I'm gonna need some proof you can get me these criminals." Silver reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone as he said "I figured this would happen so I had someone prepare it." Silver showed her a video on the phone and said "Looky here, it looks like we got some pretty big crime lord asshole moving some drugs as we speak." Selina stared at the phone and asked "Is this for real?" Silver held her walkie-talkie up to her and said "Just say the word and they can be arrested in just a few moments."

Selina stared at the now-on walkie-talkie as she nervously said "There are some drug dealers in a warehouse southeast of town." Silver took his hand away from the button and handed her the walkie-talkie as he smiled and said "Looks like we have a deal then." Selina stared at him and said, "Even if those people are real what could you want from me?" Silver smiled and said "Simple, I wanna guarantee Amber's safety, so I want you and the other police to give me all the information on that creature and everything that could be related to it."

As Amber walked out of the bathroom she stared at Selina and said nothing. Selina took her eyes off of Silver and stared at Amber as she said "Hello, don't mind me, I'm just here for a little chat." Selina stood up and began to walk away as she said "I'll need your contact info, if I find anything out I'll tell you about it, same goes for you, ok?" Silver shook his head and said, "Nope, can't do that every time, I still have a job after all." Selina glanced at him and said, "Well, try to keep it to a minimum."

As she left Amber stared at Silver and asked "Who was that?" Silver glanced at Amber and said, "That's just Selina, I guess you could call her a business partner." Amber stared at the door and said "That was the first person besides us I've ever seen in here." Silver nodded and said, "Yeah, she'll probably stop by every now and then, so don't be afraid to talk to me if you need anything when she's around."

Amber glanced at him and nodded as she said "Sorry, seeing someone new made me nervous and I couldn't think of anything to say." Silver smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal to get nervous." Amber nodded and said, "I-I'll try my hardest, to not get nervous and talk to new people." Silver smiled and said, "That's good, but try not to get too friendly with strangers." Amber nodded and said "Ok."
