Not sure what the right move was, Musera caved "Well, long as I'm not intruding." Leslie grabbed Musera's hand, and just like that, she was an honorary member of Leslie's family for the evening.
"Man oh man..."Brook moaned and groaned speeding"Can't believe our only option is to trust Yuri's word" they were making record time on their way to Vencia, Douglas -now riding shotgun-was watching birds fly looking through window pane "What choice do we have?" Gano was asleep "Nodding off again?"
Brook grumbled peaking out Gano from his front mirror" Douglas looked up for confirmation Gano's face twitched several from times, they couldn't tell if he was smiling or frowning "Frequent sleeps a sign of depression" Douglas started, Brook scoffed"Trust me, he's taking it hard too."
"Aye man, isn't Tess family to ya? How come you're not a nervous wreck?" Brook asked, knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel, he took his hands off and relaxed his fingers "Starting to get desensitized I guess-we did have to watch people die" Douglas pushed his glasses up on his face as scrolled and clicked on his phone, searching for leads "Thinking back on all that's happened, Gano and Mayuri wouldn't let his get blood on our hands. In a way I think it shows their kindness y'know ?"
Brook kept his eyes on road "Yeah, I know, that's pretty good perspective coming from you" Brook commented "Tess'd be proud" Douglas turned his head "Brook-" Swerving across lanes, Brook made an exit, it'd be no turns and no turning back going forth-just a straight shot from here on out "Imma tell her that soon as we track her down and turn that poor excuse of a Professor into compost!" Brook sighed "Gonna need that guy's help riding backseat though-unfortunately."
"Hey Brook.." Douglas looked over at him to make sure he was paying attention "You know Tess really loves you right?" the question was rhetorical of course "Yeah, I know" Brook replied "Don't do anything stupid to go get killed, I wished for this, so I should take all the blame" Brook chuckled "Get over yourself man..but noted...same to you."
Douglas smiled in response "For a meathead, you're not half bad to hang around" he teased, Brook flipped him off with his middle finger causing Douglas to laugh "Well, that's kind of rude!!" Brook was further incensed when loud snoring could be heard from behind them "Oh-" Douglas started "Not again!" Brook temple vein became visible "YOU GREEN HAIRED SLACK-"
Swerving hard into the other lane was enough to give them all whiplash "WAKE..UP!"
Exiting his luxury apartment Akurasa was greeted with a gun to the back of his head "Ah, a bit late Yuri? Thought you'd be here to execute me much soo-" Before words could escape his a hole was formed as a bullet shot throw his head, chunks of bone and brain spilled on the ground.
"Woah!" Akurasa clutched his chest, catching his breath "Splendid indeed!!" grinning wide, his pupils shrank in excitement "Every single time!! The sensation's so real!" hearing him yell, another man joined running out into the hall "Akurasa, what's wrong?" he asked "Nothing."
Akurasa chuckled "What were ya' yelling for?" hat matching Akurasa's only brown, the man sported a rainbow mix of color jacket, wrinkled black pants, and scuffed orange shoes "Dressed eccentric as always?" one hand propping up Akurasa to help him on his feet, his other hand he held a black pocket watch with a long chain.
"She's here" the man's head was on a swivel "For real?" his teeth chartered and heart started to race "So you're really not immune to that witch's powers" a burning searing sensation could be felt as heard the deafening sound of a bullet tearing through skin, similar to Akurasa he faded away and fainted, world turning to black.
