" And my dreams all fade away..."
~*~
Guilt.
~*~
Breakfast had been very... awkward that morning. Dojima had been studying him the entire time they were devouring their toast and coffee, and to be honest his gaze was so intense it could kill puppies instantly. The reason why Dojima was giving him the evil eye? Well, the reason laid not far away from them.
a package...
Souji didn't have to second guess who send him this package since it obviously came from his 'partner'. But why it was send without addressee was beyond him. Adachi should've learned from the first time that if you want to send someone a letter you have to make yourself known. But no, he had to be a total jerk and now Dojima could become suspicious.
Thankfully, the boy had convinced his uncle that the package was send from a friend back at his hometown. He lied that the guy always forgot to put his own address on it. Dojima bought it, and he didn't touch the package anymore, but it did not stop the man from gazing at the silverhead. Well, Dojima couldn't be blamed. The last time Souji received a letter without an addresses everything went to hell.
But heck, the killer had been caught and executed, so this package was nothing to be suspicious about.
The detective took a long sip from his coffee and placed the cup back on the table.
" I will be late tonight, so don't wait up for me. "
The man took his jacket from the chair next to him and stood up.
" Souji you--... no, nevermind. I'll see you later. "
The adult gave the teen a nod and left the house. When the boy was certain that Dojima had left, he raced to the package and with trembling hands he opened it as fast as he could. He yelped in surprise when he felt cold metal in his hands and he dropped it.
It was a gun!
With eyes wide open he stared at the firearm like it were a snake that was about to bite him. Adachi send him a gun to the Dojima household. The nerve of that guy!
The boy reached once again into the package and he retrieved a small note with the words: You can't hunt without a gun.
His mouth went dry and he swallowed something down that must've been the size of an apple. The words of yesterday finally began to sink in. He had been ordered to kill Naoto, and only two days remained. If he didn't kill her within the time limit, who knows what would happen. The boy bend forward and carefully grabbed the gun from the floor.
The front door flew open.
" Dammit! Souji have you seen my wallet?! "
Souji instantly turned around and placed his hands behind his back. Fuck! If Dojima got wind of what he was hiding behind his back then everything would be over!
The detective headed to the table and with an agitated sigh he took his wallet from the chair he had been sitting on a while ago.
" It must've slipped out of my pocket when I sat down to drink my coffee. Well then... Souji? Are you alright? You are looking as white as a sheet "
" Huh? A-ah yes, I am fine. Have a good day at work. "
Dojima raised an eyebrow but he already turned around and left the house for a second time. This was Souji's cue to leave the living room and head upstairs to his bedroom. He would probably get a heart attack if Dojima were to enter the home a second time.
The rest of the morning he had found himself sitting on his bed with the gun in his hands. He had been thinking on what he should do. As far as he knew he had three options. One, confess everything to Dojima. Second, don't kill Naoto and suffer the consequences. Three, kill Naoto...
" Fuck you Adachi! " Snarled the boy. " I know you can hear me! "
He threw the gun to the other side of the room and he placed his hands around his head. Dammit! He just couldn't do it! He couldn't shoot her!
His cellphone gave a loud buzz. Angrily he took his cellphone from his pocket and his frown deepened when he saw Adachi's number flashing onscreen. He had to answer the call.
" Tic Tac Souji-kun! " Came the happy-go-lucky voice from the deranged detective. " Only two more days are left. I hope you have come up with a plan, because before you know it the timer will reach zero! "
And with that said he could hear how Adachi hung op. The boy growled in frustration and made his phone go airborne as well. Actually, he felt like throwing a whole lot more, but that would be pointless. No, he had to take a deep breath and think. He couldn't tell Dojima of his crime... no... And he didn't want to face Adachi's wrath either. Who knows what he was planning... maybe he would tell his colleagues of his crime, or maybe he would harm Dojima after all.
Besides, what was Naoto to him? A friend? He wasn't so sure of that anymore. Sure, she had helped ( together with everybody else ) to 'solve' the case, but that was about it. In the past they had several dates, but on each and every date she could only talk about herself. She would never ask how he was feeling, or ask his opinion on things. No, she was always busy feeling sorry for herself and she wanted Souji's shoulder to cry on.
The boy stood up and walked to the mirror. He kept staring in the it until he saw something that made him blink several times. Did his eyes just radiated a different color? He narrowed his eyes and gave another big stare. Nah, it must've been his imagination. He has been holed up in this godforsaken house so long that his mind was playing tricks with him. Maybe he should go outside and take a stroll or something. Who knows, maybe he would bump into someone he knew. he walked to the door but before he left he took his cellphone and the gun.
you never know...
~*~
Inaba sure had changed in the little while he was gone. The fog had worsened to the point that you could bump into a lamppost even if it stood only two meters away. A lot of people had fallen ill, but most of them were too scared to go outside. This gave the town a ghostly look-- Like everyone had disappeared. The streets had always been so crowed, but now it was completely devoid of life.
Thankfully he had walked here enough when he could still see things clearly, because it was easy to get lost with all the fog.
Souji first went to the tofu shop to try and say hello to Rise, however, she had left the town to continue the showbiz so she wasn't home.
Next he tried Yosuke, but he wasn't home either. Later he found out that Yosuke's dad had lost job, and due to that they had moved to a town more to the north.
Kanji had gone overseas to enter a different school, so he couldn't be visited as well.
Agitated he went to Junes and bought himself a snack, afterwards, he went back home. As he made his way back to the Dojima household he began to realize just how alone he was and had been. It was like everyone had moved on with their lives and they had left him behind. That empty feeling in his stomach was back and it made him feel nauseous. He could try Chie or Yukiko, but to be honest he didn't want to visit them. and Teddie... well... he had returned to the television world. Who knows what had happened to him.
Ironically, the only bonds he had left in his life were Dojima's and Adachi's. Two bonds he couldn't let go of.
It was already late in the afternoon when he got home. It took off his shoes and yawning he entered the living room.
" It's good to be ba-- "
The boy placed a hand before his mouth, shocked. Just what was he saying? It was almost like he had heard Nanako say welcome home, and before he knew it he had reacted to it. he stared at her empty spot for awhile and then he headed for the couch. he grabbed the remote control that lay next to him and he turned the TV on.
He had no idea how long he had been staring at the TV, but before he knew it he heard someone entering the house. A very tired looking Dojima appeared, and he looked a little surprised when he found Souji watching nothing more then static.
" You are still up? It's four in the morning. "
" Hm? " The boy rubbed in his eyes. " Really? I hadn't noticed. "
The detective headed for the kitchen and began to prepare coffee. When it was done, he placed a cup before him, but also in front of him. Souji got the hint and took place on the empty chair in front of Dojima.
" Souji... " Began to detective, sounding worried. " Are you alright? You haven't been yourself since you came back. What's bothering you? "
Souji's eyes went from his uncle's worried face to Nanako's empty spot and back. If there ever was going to be a time to come clean, then now was his chance.
' Are you really going to admit it that you killed his daughter? ' Said a soft voice in the back of his head. ' You know what will happen right? The last remaining bonds you have left will be severed, and everyone will shun and hate you. Is that really what you want? '
The boy opened his mouth, ready to tell his uncle what he had been hiding for so long. But he couldn't find his voice, and he couldn't find the right words to say.
' See? Your mind has already been made up. It's time to face reality and do what you are supposed to do. What's one more death? '
" I'm fine uncle. I...guess I am still a little shaken by the way how my parents reacted when I came home. You would've thought that they would be thrilled to see me after a year. "
Hah, perfect lie..
Dojima sighed. " Your mother was always like that. At the age of eighteen she left the house to live with her boyfriend, and after that she more or less cut ties with the family. I believe I heard her saying once that she couldn't care less about her family. She had made a lot of friends and she had her boyfriend, so why did she need her family? And then she got you. I must admit I was really surprised when I heard I had gotten a nephew. We went to see you, only once I am afraid, and then our contact was broken again. You can't believe how surprised I was when I got a phone call from your mother seventeen years later with the question if you could live here for a year. "
Souji gave a faint smile. " I can imagine. "
The detective got up and brought their empty cups to the sink. " You always have a home here Souji, I will take you in as long as you want okay? I will be here for you. "
The silverhead couldn't suppress the smile that formed on his lips.
" Well then, as your worried uncle, I want you to head for bed now. Tomorrow will be an important day Souji. You see, Naoto has discovered something very interesting on the Namatame case. I've arranged that the three of us will meet here to discuss it. "
The boy's heart skipped a beat... or two, or three. Naoto would come here? And she had found something?
He said goodnight to his uncle and with a grim look on his face he began to head for bed.
Naoto had to die tomorrow.
