Chapter 18: Confession [Jamie]
Bill and Scorpio walked in the door, both of them sweating a ton. "Geez! What did you do, run around the campus three times over?"
"God, I wish," Bill fell on his bed, "We're fucked. There's no way we can take both of them at the same time." Scorpio collapsed on the floor, "I'd like Alucard please."
"It was that bad?" Bill just groaned. "Well, you've gotta take showers. You two are the worst thing I've smelled and I was homeless for six years of my life. Scorpio, you first, I need to talk to Bill." Scorpio crawled to the bathroom, and barely managed to properly shut the door.
I sat next to Bill. "Remember when I said there was something I was gonna tell you today?" Bill struggled to nod. "Well, Scorpio told me something." He tried to sit up, or show some form of intrigue, but he was too weak to. "Don't try moving. It makes you look in even worse condition than you are." He groaned again. "Well, she told me that she likes you. Not in a platonic manner either." I don't know if it was his body finally giving into the stress or what I just said, but every inch of his skin turned bright red. "Is that your body giving up or blush?" He attempted to nod, but his head fell sideways when he tried. "You should probably rest."
The bathroom door swung open. Scorpio looked far better than when she got here. "You might wanna be careful. Bill's asleep." She looked at him, "Oh. Well then, I guess it'll have to wait."
"What'll have to wait?" I looked at her intensely. "Oh, nothing," She opened her drawer and grabbed some clothes, "Well, since he's asleep, I don't have to go somewhere else to change." She took off her towel. "Actually don't do that."
"Aw, what's wrong? You got a problem with this?"
"Maybe, a little. Just, go in the bathroom, please." She sighed, "Fine." She muttered something under her breath that I couldn't quite make out. I looked at myself. I could easily see why Bill would be into her. I haven't seen a lot of naked people in my life, but the ones I have seen were not nearly as well built as Scorpio was. "It's okay, if it makes you feel any better, mine aren't that good either."
"Brit!"
"What? I know you were thinking that."
"I wasn't! Even so, that wouldn't make me feel any better. You're at least two years younger than anyone else here." Brit turned the page in her book, "Wow! It's the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes!" She turned the book to me, revealing a completely reflective page. "Ha ha, very funny."
Scorpio sat next to Bill. "You told him?" I nodded, "You got a problem with that?" She shook her head, "I've never really done anything of that sort before. I've been kinda anxious about it." Brit sighed. "I don't get your infatuation with him. I mean, yeah, he's good at what he does, but what he does is barbaric."
"Oh yeah, because sitting reading a book is such a great hobby." She pointed her wand at me, "I have a reason to do this aside from 'I just like to', I've been trying to find a way to fully materialize my father in this realm, since apparently he can't do it himself." I sighed, "Clearly hit a nerve there. Sorry." Brit just scoffed.
I sat next to Scorpio. "Are you sure you wanted me to tell him?"
"Yes. There's no way I could even begin to think of how to convey that to him." She scrolled down on her laptop, "So, whatcha doing?"
"Trying to find more about the specific group that killed my dad. Yeah, we clearly hit the Hoops hard, seeing that Alucard was an absolute powerhouse, but I know they weren't the ones who did it. There's no camera feed of the incident until it happened, so they have to have some smarts." I sighed, "You need to stop worrying so much about that. I know how it feels, when my mom died, I spent the next year trying to find her killer. Eventually, I decided to let it go, and let the police handle it."
"That's easy for you to say though. You were," she paused, "10?"
"11."
"11 years old when it happened, of course you'd eventually focus on something else. There's not a lot you could've done. I can do something, and I intend on." She opened a video file on her computer. The quality was grainy and the low lighting didn't help, but I could make out four men standing. One was motioning toward something. She paused it. There were three figures wearing all black coming from the top right. She pressed a button, and the screen flashed. "Those are the killers?" I looked at the picture. "I'm sending this to someone in the company, hopefully they can do something with it."
Bill started to stir. Scorpio shot up, looking straight at him. I walked over to him. "What can you remember?" He looked around. "Well, I remember getting my ass handed to me by Akumura. But the most recent thing? Not sure, it's kinda a blur past that. I think Scorpio went to take a shower, and somewhere between then and now you told me someone liked me? I don't remember who," Bill looked at Scorpio, "How's your arm?" She turned bright red and grabbed her scar as if it was about to fall off, "It's better. Even though Jamie thoroughly healed it, I still can't move it fully."
"I can try again!" Scorpio shook her head, "No, you collapsed last night. I don't want three of us rendered too tired to think. Speaking of," She looked at Bill, "You should probably shower. I can definitely see where Jamie was coming from now." Bill sat up, "Alright." He got up and walked into the bathroom.
"So, he doesn't remember..." I nodded. "Well, this is just great. Now I've gotta do it myself."
"I can still tell him." Scorpio shook her head, "At this point? I might as well do it myself."
