Waking Up The Next Morning I Tried To Keep The Events Of Yesterday From My Mind...

" Had It All Been A Dream? Is That Monster Still Alive? " I Muttered Half Asleep

Getting Up From My Bed I Walk Out Into My Living Room, The Remote Still On The Floor Where I Had Dropped It, The Table Still Pushed Aside From When I Shuffled To The T.V. My Door, Still Unlocked And Kicked Shut As I Had Been So Overwhelmed I Forgot To Close And Lock It Properly...

" What Time Is It I Wonder... I Dont Remeber My Alarm Going Off... "

I Look At My Watch. 9:09am...

" Damn... I Slept In... This Isn't Good... "

I Start Pacing Back And Forth Counting To Six, Stopping And Then Repeating The Count Up To Six...

" One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six... One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six... One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six... "

I Glance At My Watch Again... 9:16am.. I Sigh With Relief...

" Nothing Happend... "

I Shake My Head And Force Myself To Go On One Of My Long Walks... Lost In My Thoughts I Subconsiouly Walk To The Court House Stopping At The Bottom Of The Stairs Where The Killer Had Died... Yellow Tape Now Stretched Around The Perimeter Of The Court House... I Look Around To See If Anyone Was Near Before I Cross Over The Tape And Walk Up The Steps... There On The Top Steps A Blood Stain Coverd The Ground... I Look At It Intently And The Images Of The Broadcast Start Dancing Through My Head...

" I Still Can't Believe That Actually Happend... And On A Live Broadcast... "

Shaking The Images From My Mind Once More I Continue On My Way Pretending That None Of This Had Ever Occured...

" But How Could That Have Happend? I Don't Understand It... "

Once Again Thoughts Of KIRA Crossed My Mind...

" Maybe It Really WAS KIRA... But How Can That Be? KIRA Is Dead... Or... Is He? No It Couldn't Be KIRA That Was Far Beyond Anything He Would Have Done... "

Then The Thought Of A New KIRA Crossed My Mind Once More...

" No No No Don't Be So Stupid... A New KIRA? Come On... "

I Quite My Voice As A Group Of People Walk Past Me, A Mother, A Father And Their Son... At First Glance They Would Seem Like An Ordinary Family But Their Eye's Were Cold And I Could See The Judgment Behind Them... After They Pass I Stop And Watch Them... Their Son Running Amuk Like Any Normal Six-Year-Old Would And The Parents Scornful Gaze At His Antics...

" Heh... What Am I Doing? " I Think Aloud

Suddenly I Hear The Little Boy Scream... I Turn To See What Happend... The Little Boy's Father Had Him By The Collar Of His Shirt And The He Was Rubbing His Face... No Doubt From Being Backhanded By His Father... I Could Hear The Anger In His Voice As He Yelled... Tears Started To Swell Up In The Little Boy's Eye's...

" How Would Someone Like KIRA Deal With People Like That I Wonder... "

I Started Fantisizeing About The Way's In Which The Could Punished But Shook The Thoughts From My Mind...

" They Will Be Delt With Properly By A Child Abuse Service... "

I Walked On Blocking Out The Sounds Of The Man's Angry Voice And The Little Boy's Tears... The Next Time I Really Noticed Anything It Was Almost Eight At Night... This Had Turned Into Another One Of My Pointless Walks... Sighing I Turn Around And Look To See If I Recognize Anything...

" Now What Have I Gone And Done... "

Scratching My Head I Start Walking Back In The Direction I Came Looking From Side To Side Until I Saw Anything That I Knew Was Nearer To My Home... Finally I Found The Ally By The Grocery Store Not Far From The Court House...

" This Should Get Me Home Quicker... "

I Walk Down The Ally In The Fading Light With My Eye's Closed To The World, Once Agian Lost In My Thoughts... My Attention Is Drawn To Something Rushing Towards Me... A Woman... Probably No Younger Then Me... She Has Blood On The Side Of Her Face And Her Pants Are Torn Open... My Eye's Widen As She Throws Herself Into Me Completely Hysterical...

" Please! Plesase Help Me! " She Cries...

I Look At Her Alittle Confused, But My Confusion Changes To Anger When I See Three Men Bolt Down The Ally After Her... They Stop Infront Of Me And I Can See What It Was They We're Planning Before She Got Away From Them...

" Alright Pal Back Off That Wench Is Ours " One Of Them Spits...

I Glare At Them To Show My Displeasure In What Their Doing... The Woman Was Shaking Uncontrolably Now... I Could Feel Every inch Of Her Body Trembling Against Mine...

" You Know Something... " I Start...

" No What?... " The Same Man Answers...

" People Like You Sicken Me... What Is It About Rape And Murder You Find So Appealing? Is It The Thrill? The Momentary Power? Or Are You Just That Demented... "

" You Got A Problem With Us Pal? "

" Yes... As A Matter Afact I Do... There's No Doubt In My Mind That If I Step Aside And Let You Have Your WayWith This Girl... You'll Rape Her... Then You'll Probably Lock Her Up Somewhere For Later When You Want More From Her... Then Once You've Had Enough You'll Kill Her... And Leave Her Body Somewhere To Rot... Then You'll Repeat The Proccess... You'll Run Off To Find Another Girl Who Will, Nine Times Out Of Ten, Look Similar To This One And You'll Do The Same... Exact... Thing... "

The Man Started Shouting Something Back At Me But I Couldn't Make Out What He Was Saying... He Words Were So Jumbbled Together It Was Hard To Make Anything Out... Suddenly One Of Them Swung Out At Me... I Was Unprepaired For It So I Was Struck On The Right Side Of My Jaw And Fell Backwards...

" There That Awta Teach Yea... "

I Sat Up And Wipped The Blood From My Mouth... My Vision Was Alittle Blurred But I Could Make Out The Men Dragging The Woman Away With Them... Then The Turned Down The Street And Disappeard From View...

" Hmph... What A Waste Of Time... "

I Got And Staggered In The Ally For A Moment Before Regaining My Composure And Walking Out Into The Street... I Looked Down The Road Where The Men Had Taken Off With The Girl...

" That Girls Death Will Be Broadcast Within The Next Four To Five Days... "

I Turn Around To Head Across The Street Down To The Court House To Go Home When I See A Man Picking Things Up Outside Of The Grocery Store... It Was A Bunch Of Fruit... Somene Must Have Knocked Over The Fruit Stand Outside...

" Hmm... What A Waste Of Good Fruit... "

I Walk Across The Street And Head Back To My Home For A Night Of Rest... Tomorrow Would Be A Long Day I Could Already Tell...
