The Past
“It’s a beautiful night” she had no clue whether that relic he called an answering machine was actually recording her or not?
Who still uses a tape machine this day and age, especially someone in his position of authority, “The snow is still fresh and it’s beautiful out here in the courtyard. I know you’ve stayed away from this place because you didn’t want to draw negative attention to yourself, but”, she sighed, “I really wish you could see it.”
The question really is, is this my last night? All this work, all the effort, it can’t end here. Gogo.
Why am I stalling, “The sky is clear enough to see all the stars old man. Clear enough that I can see my star… I can see, my star.”
The sounds inside, beyond the courtyard, bothered her, but she tuned it out. She searched quickly in the cool night air and found it. Her star… She remembered when he had shown it to her for the first time. The night was clear, just like tonight. Her star… It was how he knew that the trip to Rio would end in disaster for her if he did not do something… to save her.... from herself.
Its brilliance dominated the sky and her spirit soared as she stared at it.
A good omen, she could use one, regardless of tonight’s events.
Regardless of everything that had happened up to this point.
Hmphf, I’m worrying over nothing, she thought. Soon this little matter will be over and done with and then I can figure out how I will deal with the losses. How am I going to tell Yuki?
Then she remembered, “Remember how you said that… going to El Paso… was a mistake, but”, she was already regretting calling him.
Why did she call him?
Because he was right… and because, “Gogo is dead.”
Even as the words left her lips she gripped the cell phone tighter, “Sofie… has lost her arm…and Beatrix is here.”
Everything was turning out just as he had predicted, not word for word, but events were moving just like he said they would. Just like he said they would…
Now the screams were closer just inside the House of Blue Leaves.
She steeled herself against the anguished cries.
How could they be falling so easy to her!
How could she have survived! How could Gogo have… failed?
“Gogo, is dead”, even though she’d said it already, she still couldn’t believe it. Gogo had disarmed Beatrix so easily, she was about to kill her, she, “Beatrix killed her and… I’m left in an uncomfortable position, but… you were right.”
No! He wasn’t right!
If she’d have stayed with him, she never would’ve risen to where she is now, she never would’ve met Gogo, never have grabbed life by the balls! She’d still be running around doing contract work for Bill. She would still be following the will and the whim of others instead of making her own path and forging her own destiny.
No, he wasn’t right and she made the right choice, she kept telling herself that over and over. If she could just keep telling herself that, then maybe this nightmare would end, if she could just believe that he had nothing. Nothing to offer, no merit, no worth, no value, |

no nothing! All he did was lackey work for Bill, he…she knew that wasn’t the case. She knew he was far from a lackey… far from it.
He should’ve been my lackey, but you wouldn’t allow that would you, you stubborn goat.
My… stubborn goat, she wasn’t even paying attention to the fact that she was drifting in-and-out of daydreaming and musing, until she realized that the noise inside the restaurant had died down.
“House of Blue Leaves indeed”, she wasn’t sure what it meant yet, but surely Johnny Moe and the others wouldn’t fail too.
“That’s improbable, but not impossible” that’s what you would say if you were here. If you were here, but he wasn’t here and that was beginning to grate on her nerves even more than the fact that she’d called him in the first fuckin place. Then she remembered why she’d called.
“I’ve lost my beloved Gogo-chan”, you bastard, “Just like you said I would. Your ability to predict things is … very fucking annoying.”
Gogo was her protégé and Sofie was her best friend, in one night they’d both been changed forever and she knew that even with all of her “so-called” power, she couldn’t do anything, anything, to fix this! She could still see Sofie’s busted lip where Beatrix had obviously hit her.
If he had been here to see that he would’ve busted out laughing at her, “You never did like Sofie, did you? Are you happy now? She lost her arm.”
By the time the words left her mouth she was recoiling as she could already hear his response; “Sofie, with all that mouth, is only good for one thing. As long as you think she’s worth something you’re settin yourself up. She’s a lawyer and lawyers talk, they don’t fight, especially her cowardly ass.”
Big talk from a scientific smart-ass! Mr. Know-It-All! Stupid fucker! Her anger started to rage out of control at how much he hated Sophie, but how much of a dear friend that Sophie was and how often she had to keep them apart and choose one or the other, but never both.
She realized one thing very quickly to herself, for the life of me I don’t understand how I allowed that bastard to get that close… to me. I never should have let you in that close, you old fool, never.
Which put her right back where she started at, why am I calling him then?
She couldn’t figure it out. It wasn’t out of fear. It wasn’t out of, SHE DIDN’T KNOW! And it agitated the crap out of her, “You’ve always eluded me like that you know? You and Beatrix… are the only targets to escape my sights. It’s funny huh? I really wish you were here… to see me take this bitches head.” And prove you wrong once and for all.
She saw something in the sky and instinctively looked up, “A shooting star”, and saw it smash right through her star!
She nearly dropped the phone as she heard the sliding door to the courtyard open.
Omigod, it can’t be? She stood there transfixed at what she’d seen. Of course her star still stood in the Tokyo nightline, but what she’d just seen? A horrible omen, a shooting star passing right across “the face”… of my star.
The glare of her star increased as she tried to gather herself! She had to collect herself and in a hurry! Beatrix was here now and this was thee very last thing she needed. To try to enter a fight with a fucked up mind state was to guarantee victory for the enemy. |
