Chapter 4: Concerns About Last Night


The next morning, Star was relaxing on the couch, enjoying her quiet morning, before turning the channel to the local news. There, on screen, was the Gamer's Bazaar, where police and detectives were all over the place.

"---They say that Ms. Savannah Calson was taking out the trash from last night's game tournament when The Medic caught her unaware. Torn open and eaten, her body was left behind the building. In relation, reports say that the cashier, Ms. Jessica Holt, is now missing, and that The Medic has taken her. The police plead to the public that if they have even the slightest information about the case, The Medic, or about the women, to please call the number below."

"Oh shit." Star murmured, sitting up. Her mind raced with the imagery and the new information. "Shit shit... That's scary. The guy actually came here." She forced herself to take a deep breath, before laying back again. "I'm good. I didn't really know them. Besides... he only kills one or two before he moves on."

At that, her phone rang, causing her to jump, but nervously laughed before grabbing her phone and answering. "Dah?"

"Did you see the news?" It was Rose, with a panicked voice.

"Yeah. Just now I did. That was uncanny, Rosy." Star says, making a slight joke.

"Poor Savan. She was a good person." Rose said, sniffling. Star sighs, and nods, despite being on the phone.

"It's sad, alright. Do you want me to come get you and we go to the FFC?" Star asks, wanting to comfort her friend.

"That... would be nice. Scott's working, so I'm at the house by myself." Rose admitted, sounding uncomfortable with that information.

"Alright hun. I will be over in a bit." Star said, "Stay inside until I get there. Love ya."

"Love you too. Bye."

"Bye." Star hung up, before going to get dressed. She put on a black tank top, pair of blue jeans, and her sandals, while stuffing a pair of socks into her bag. The FFC had mini golf, a skating rink, an arcade, bouncy houses, a bar, and the main feature, many lanes for bowling. It was an all-around good place to hang and have fun. After grabbing her keys and her custom bowling ball, she walked outside, and started up her car.

After she had gotten home last night, she went and chewed out the neighbors, who had stolen her battery. How did she know that they stole her battery? Because they ALWAYS stole her things, and this time, they admitted it. She managed to get her battery back, after threatening to call the cops on them once again and threatening to tell the landlord, and put her battery back into the car. She did put in an anonymous tip in with the sheriff and the landlord anyway.

After picking up Rose and getting to the FFC, Star paid for the arm bands to get free access for 4 hours. They were lane 23, far enough away from the 'professional' leaguers who were practicing for the next tournament. As the girls changed into the shoes, Rose was talking to Star about how worried she was.

"We were there. We could have died as well! I just can't believe it..." Rose went on, her golden-brown eyes filled with concern.

"Rosy. We are alive and well. The Medic is not here, just you and me." Star said, rolling her eyes as she tied her laces. Rose was a worrier, almost too much so. "Come on. Breathe. Let's have some fun."

"How can you be so calm about this?? A person we know was murdered at the place we hang out at, and another person we know is MISSING, Starila!" Rose said, her voice going up a pitch. Star shrugged.

"I'm not worried, because the Medic usually stays in a town a day or two, kills at least 2 to 3 people, then moves on. We are good. Things will be stirred up elsewhere soon." Star says, shrugging. The murders didn't seem that real. Besides... The Jessica girl was a girl who used to bully her a lot. So forgive her for not caring more.

"You... You are right, like usual. I'll try to relax." Rose says, before going to get her bowling ball. Star set up the game, before looking around. It seemed like a nice place, but something seemed... off? She shook off the feeling, before grabbing her ball and going up to take her turn.

"Come on, let's have a little luck... FOR HONOR!" She yells as she lets the ball loose on the lane. The ball curves slightly, but it comes back for a strike. "Hells yeah!"

"Nice start!" Rose calls out, before running over. "How about we make this interesting?"

"Oh? How so?" Star raised an eyebrow, looking at her friend. When it came to 'making things interesting', Rose liked to make bets, even at things she was terrible at. Rose was a bit of a gambler, as was Star, but with her, it was sometimes a bad decision, especially when it came to money.

"If I win more games than you, you buy the drinks tonight at Ol' Crimsons." Rose says, smiling brightly. Star paused, making a slight face, before nodding.

"And if I win?" Star asked, tilting her head. Bowling was a skill of her's. After all, her dad played in tournaments all the time, and she loved to bowl games with him. She knew the game, hell, she knew how to properly hook a ball.

"I... I will buy drinks." She says, giving a nervous smile. Star paused, before nodding.

"Alright... Let's do this."
