"Don't get me wrong Ocho, I don't want to kill Darren."
Kyle replied with his signature smile.
"I wanna kill all of you, but not this guy. I wanna surgically gut hima and leave him alive with his stomach still open."
To which Darren simply shrugged and told me what they were talking about.
"I was actually planning on leaving the police squad to create my own merc squad after graduating this hell hole."
"And I was telling him the possible future of both our company together."
The two went and on about their discussions, but I had to stop and ask them both a favor.
"Before you quit the force Darren, I actually have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"I need all these Jacquilyn talks to stop already. I'm going to finish the case."
The two looked at me and waited for me to explain.
"Word is, that serial killings have dramatically increased all over this small country. I was thinking maybe I could find a lead if I confront some of the killers in question."
(Kyle)
"So you're already making a move on that girl? I don't get it, people like us never dwell on death for too long."
(Darren)
"People like you Kyle, like you, dont put us on that same shitty boat of yours."
Darren said, while scowling at Kyle.
He continued.
"I was actually thinking of doing one last case before leaving the force, so, if you don't mind working with me then...."
"Not in the slightest."
"Cool then. Would you mind telling me about the picture now?"
Last time. Back when everyone met up and revealed our true identities, I showed Darren a certain pic of their old house.
It was a last minute decision but I guess it wasn't that impactful, based solely on Darren's expressions now.
"Sure. I was planning on discussing that with you later anyways."
------------------------
After class. Outside the Gardening club gates.
"Now that's beautiful."
I couldn't help but to have my thoughts seep out when I saw the ambiance and the overall look of my new supposed advisory club's clubhouse.
They say that you can peer deep in someone's minds once you saw their house.
And based on what I'm seeing right now.
"I'm already having high expectations."
So I slowly went for the door until I reached the front of it and gently knocked.
I knocked once, then twice, and thrice.
Moments later I heard a commotion inside.
"Fuck yeah! Pizzas outside already!"
Then I heard the doorknob rattling as it got abruptly opened, by a young woman of asian decent.
She looked at me with her.....reddish eyes?
Her looks turned to a scowl followed by a scoff.
"The fuck? You're not the pizza guy!"
She said.
Before slamming the door on my face.
