Doctor I. Fruijin's diary (the illegal version of the articles published on Tumblr):
My wife woke me up today earlier than on a normal day, usually she lets me sleep in. But today she rushed in and explain she heard the rumours of a 12 year old fae boy who got the death penalty for murder, but after five months (last week) thanks to a rogue detective they found out that the fae hadn't done the murder, it was a human man and he was sentenced yesterday to do only 5 years in prison.
I dread to think what they would have done if the fae boy was of age.
There were navy and pale blue feathers everywhere. Jin's back on a hard wooden floor, Lux's stomach on her left wing, Misha's leg underneath her right wing. Lux just got up and away from Jin's wing when Jas crushed into Lux making her fall on top of Jin, again. Palo on top of Jin and Lux, Jas laying down on the ground next to Misha, groaning in pain. Palo got up and offered his hand to Lux, who took it.
"Sound off, is anyone dead?" Palo asked, "Someone will be, unless you get off my wing," Jin groaned, startling both Lux and Palo and they sheepishly got off her wing, Lux offering their hand to her, she took it and got up. Her wings folded into her back, quickly disappearing. "Not going to be doing that again," She muttered.
Jin looked around, the portal was nowhere to be seen, there were no humming in her veins.
They were in a spacious office, with a lovely wooden floor. A desk made from a dark red wood cluttered with papers and stationery, a tall black chair. The window next to the desk was huge, its curtains shut.
Jas walked over and lifted the curtains a bit, but a bit was enough to make them all flinch from the bright, warm light, nothing like the light in Hell. Palo waved the shock away, strode over and looked outside the window, the others joining in as well to look through the window. Jin was sure that she wasn't the only one who received a shock. They all knew it was supposed to be an AG portal but there is a difference between a portal station and being in one of the tallest buildings in a human city.
The view was breathtaking, and from the look on Misha's face, Jin knew her sister wanted to take a dive. It wouldn't surprise her if she did. They could see everything, the little people on the street looking like little colourful dots, the cars looking like squares or rectangles on the busy street, compared to where they were looking from, everything seems small, including the other buildings. There was another tall building with huge glass windows right next to the building they were in, reflecting the building they were the same height and connected with a glass bridge a few floors above them and another one a few floors below them, it made her think of falling through them, the image strong in her mind, the glass shattering against her limp bleeding body. Jin backed away from the window, feeling slightly sick by the image.
She looked around at the office again, the cluttered desk caught her attention. She staggered over to it, sitting down on the tall chair. Most of the papers weren't understandable, at least not to Jin. She opened the laptop not sure what she was expecting but it asked for a password. How annoying. "Misha," she called and her sister looked back at her. "Password." Misha walked over and leaned over Jin's shoulder to look at the screen, it was wide, thin and completely clean, the background set to a blurry golden and brown colours. Misha simply typed something and it let her in.
The screen opens to some kind of files, with some sentences blacked out.
"What are you doing?" Palo asked, sauntering away from the window and to look from behind Jin's shoulder, "Trying to see whose office this belongs to and if she is any important," she explained.
"How do you know it's a she?" Lux wondered, walking over as well.
"Her name is Louise Ingrid Violet Edwards," she replied, browsing through Louise Ingrid Violet Edward's open tabs. Palo let a low whistle. "That is a long name" Jas muttered. "How do you know?"
"It's on the medal, there." She pointed at the wall next to the shelves of books, Jas walked over reading the engraved, "Ooh, medal of discovery, sounds interesting, but it doesn't say what."
"Exactly, but the only vibes I'm getting off of her laptop, is that she's a control freak. All of her tabs are organised, alphabetically," Jin said.
"Try the calendar" Misha murmured. "That one is always good to check." Jin flipped through Edwards's bookmarks and clicking on her calendar, it was as freakishly organised as her tabs, all colour-coded and alphabetically.
Jin clicked on today's date. "What's the time?" "11:34, it's right there." Misha sighed exasperatedly pointing at the small clock on the corner of the laptop.
"Right well, she's in a board meeting, she must be important to be in one. She even wrote down who's going to be there but not the topics or agendas," Jin said, looking at the notes of the meeting. "I'm not recognising any names"
Misha rolled her eyes "It doesn't tell us what this place is." But Jin continue looking through the calendar mostly ignoring her sister, something caught her eye. A green tag but every other tag was warm toned not jade. It said a visit but no other details other than an address, Jin grabbed her small notebook and scribbled the address, it looked familiar.
"Mish, do you know this place?" she pointed with her pen at the small address, Misha looked at it slightly confused, "It looks familiar, but I can't think anything of it, why?" "Look at the rest of her tags"Jin said, the others following her gaze "this isn't the only visit tag but it's the only green one and it doesn't have any other details, which means… "she waited for them to finish but they haven't caught on "Look at the rest of the tags, she never mentions the subjects but always people and the reason even if some of them are vague, but she even counts the people and names them in. and yet this tag has no people, no subject, no reason"the others still looked slightly confused but Misha must have caught on because she said "It means it's a secret." Jin nodded, she shrunk the screen, making the current month and next two months appear. She can see the patterns of pink board meetings every two weeks, the red tags of reports deadlines every week on Wednesday, and the green tag appears every month on the second Friday of the month. "So what if mysterious Human lady has a secret meeting place, it could be a secret lover" Palo suggested, but Misha shook her head. "She's meticulous, if she has a spouse and they see her calendar they would get suspicious of the green tag immediately"
"Could be a more complicated situation without a spouse," he remarked "Could be, but unlikely. But this isn't one of your romance books, Kitty," Yael said, her hand on Palo's shoulder, who sighed and shrugged. "Than what is it?"
"Can't you look it up on the maps app?" Lux asked, actually making sense. Jin opened a new tab of the maps and typed in the address. Nothing. She tried again, this time taking out the specifics and just searching the area, this time it did show something. It was just some green fields with no farms nearby. "That's … just weird," she muttered, moving the map around, trying to find any kind of buildings within 3 miles but found nothing. "Jin-Jin." she looked up at her sister whose eyes were fixed on the map. "Go back to the calendar and see when did the green tags started"
Jin frowned but did anyway, it took a couple of minutes but eventually found it. 5 years, 4 months ago Edwards started the green tag, she clicked on the first green tag. It said almost the same thing, 'name: visit, duration: 2 hours' on the second Friday of the month but in the notes it wasn't empty, there was the address and a file attachment. She tapped it and it opened as a new tab, it looked like a mix of a letter and a report, some of the lines black out. But Jin understood the basics of what it said ;
Dear Ms Edwards
The new building is gorgeous, the address is ————. it took us 5 months just to get approval from the board members but we reached the goal in the end, now we simply need to get the patients themselve.————————————————— are already on getting ———————— to the building. I must say, I'm impressed and glad we got the building and have now got the other members' trust behind us.
The other members are a rather exhausting lot. They are also asking for a monthly report and a meeting. I believe that part is up to you. I wanted to thank you properly for the opportunity to save humanity. My own father has died of ———————, I truly believe our work could improve other humans like him and help improve us all, in general things. I will attach a list of things me and Doctor ——————— have come up with that we think the NHS could help us with;
————————,———————, ———————————,————,————————, ——————.
We've already got our first patient, he's a difficult one, and already Doctor ——————— is coming up with a new technique. She already gave a name to the project, she calls it 'NHS Rehabilitation Sanctuary' she also always goes on and on about the amazing view from the building. If you do not mind, I would love to join you on some of your monthly visits.
Yours truly,
——————
It felt like a stone, tumbling down from Jin's head all the way to her feet, realisation kicked her butt when she read 'NHS Rehabilitation Sanctuary'. As if someone shattered the beautiful glass building and they were falling down, but at the same time it also felt as though something clicked, all those cluttered papers that at first didn't make sense, clicked into place, like a puzzle, although some of the little jigsaw pieces were still missing.
Jin knew she wasn't the only who felt it, Lux was looking confused, Yael's eyes were wide, Jas's expression was blank as he read the letter again, Misha's eyes were already calculating something, Palo bite his lower lip before murmuring, "I knew a lover was a possibility." "I think you're focusing about the wrong thing, Kitty," Yael murmured back. Jin couldn't understand why they were speaking in a low voice, it wasn't like anyone heard them earlier. "What are we supposed to do now?" Jin asked, looking at Jas who looked just as lost, "We get out of here," Misha said. "Right the bloodstone now."
Sidenotes:
So that's not suspicious, like at all... and the term Bloodstone is instead of hell because.. well, I mean, they can't just say hell, and I've made the decision that they aren't allowed to swear.
