Rai handed Angel the laptop that had been sitting on Klemey's bathroom sink. Angel's face crunched up in worry and fear as she looked at the screen. She looked at Rai. "What's happened here?" Angel was about to cry. On the laptop was a video that explained everything. Rai guided Angel back to Klemey's bed as they sat to watch it again. Rai pushed repeat and the video started. From the angle of the screen and the surroundings Rai saw that the beginning had been shot from the living room. Klemey was sitting on the couch, not aware that her cam on the laptop was on. There was someone behind the computer. From his voice Rai and Angel could tell immediately who it was. "Klemey..." He seemed to be on the verge of crying, "I would have never cheated on you!" Matthew than stepped in front of the laptop kneeling on front of Klemey on the couch. "I barely remember that girl or how she got to my house...Everything about that day is hazy...It's like I drank to much or something!" He grabbed her hands and looked at her sincerely. "It was a moment of weakness and I said yes..." Angel and Rai watched the screen, silent as a empty room. Klemey slowly pulled her hands out of Matthew's grasp. She stood up and grabbed the laptop. Angel and Rai watched as Klemey seemed to walk into another room, the kitchen, before it was wrecked. She had set the laptop on the table facing the entrance, just so that the living room and front door were visible. Matthew after a couple of seconds followed from the living room. "Klemey...." His face was full of sorrow and regret. Klemey slowly walked up to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her. He closed his eyes and moved his lips, getting ready for a kiss. Klemey pulled her arms off of him and grabbed his hips. She kissed him slowly and very passionately. Then before he realized what was happening she pushed off of him and pulled her hand back. She sent it forward with enough force that the sound of her hand against his cheek blared through the speakers. She had slapped him. As he grabbed his right side of face she started. "You asshole." The tears were rolling off her face. "You should've said no, you should've gone home. You should've thought twice before you let it all go! And I should've been there, in the back of your mind. I shouldn't be asking myself why. You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...You should've said no, babes.." Her voice cracked at the useage of their nickname for each other, "...and you might still have me...Do you honestly expect me to believe we could ever be the same...You say that the past is the past, you need one chance. It was a moment of weakness and you said yes..." She was wiping her tears with her sleeve as Matthew just stood there with the most sorrowful look of pain on his face. Then that's when it happened. A horrible crash came from behind the laptop. Together Rai adn Angel, they sat on the bed as they watched again, as a small gray canister flew past Klemey and landed near Matthew's feet. "What the hell?" Klemey turned to look behind her, to what Angel and Rai guessed was the window. Smoke started fuming into the room from the can. "Klem..." Matthew reached out to her as they both fell to the floor unconscious. Angel held her breath as she watched the purple smoke clear out of the screen. Then a women with flaming red hair walked through the living room. "Nice job Derek." She said as she looked at Klemey and Matthew's body laying on the floor. "Be right in." A deep voice said from behind the laptop. Rai had put it together that Derek must've been the one who threw the sleeping gas, or at least what she hoped was sleeping gas, into Klemey's kitchen from the window. That explained why the window was broken. The mystery women must've broken in through the front door, Angel thought. They both looked at her in horror as she pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and leaned to look at the laptop. "Well well, it's this nice" She smiled and tapped the screen of the laptop. "I'm going to have fun taping this!" She grabbed the laptop and head out the kitchen. Rai and Angel watched as she set it down in Klemey's room and ransacked her desk. After awhile of that she stopped, clearly frustrated. "Ahhhhh!" She huffed, sweaty from shuffeling through the papers. "Where the hell are they?!?!" She stood in front of the desk for what seemed to be ages for Angel and Rai. Finally she moved. She reached for the laptop and went into the bathroom. She set it down on the sink, where Rai had found it. Tears were now coming down Angel's face as she watched the women on the screen light a cigarette. "Fine..." She puffed a smoke ring out. "...If they're not here I'll just have to torture them to get the answers!" She put the cigarette out in the sink and leaned closer into the camera. "Whoever finds this..." She smiled. "Ha, it'll probably be that girl's damn friends, Rai and Angelica...Or what ever your damn names are... If you find this just let me tell you that your stupid little slut whore of a friend is dead!" Her smiled widened, causing a sickening feeling in Rai. "And..." The women continued. "If you guys try to do anything I will kill you and your loves..." She leaned back and looked at her nails. "You know Gio and Chris...." She smiled her disgusting smile again. "There's nothing you can do....Once I'm done with her she's dead...And so's the idiotic man who's just sooooo in love with her....God, I hate his T.V. show...The crap the part on T.V. nowadays!" She frowned and then looked at the camera more seriously. "I mean it, she's going to die, I will do anything for what I want." Then she got up and was gone. The video was over. Rai closed the laptop and put it aside on the bed. "Rai?" Angel looked at her. "What was she looking for?" Rai asked. Then the folder and the notes inside it came back into Angel's mind. "I think I might know!" She grabbed the folder that was still on the bed, and handed it to Rai. Rai looked at her. She opened it and together her and Angel read.
Klemey tried pulling her hand again. She had managed to stretch the plastic strap around her hands almost wide enough for her to slip her hand out of it. She was so focused on doing this that when she heard a low cough rumble form across the room she nearly fell off the mattress. Klemey looked in the direction she heard the noise. She squinted her eyes and stood up, luckily her feet weren't bound together. She slowly walked to the darkest corner of the room. She hadn't noticed earlier, the pile of blankets thrown into this corner. "Argh..." The blankets let out as hand fell out of them. Klemey nearly screamed. She fell back onto the floor. The blankets started moving, Klemey watched in horror as another hand appeared and slowly pulled the blankets back. "Matthew!" Klemey gasped. Matthew was under the blankets and badly beat up. Klemey climbed over to him, hands still tied behind her. She leaned over him and saw his face. His right eye was black and his upper lip split. Dirt was smeared all over him. "Matthew..." She was crying. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Klemey..." He smiled a weak smile. "Wh-a....Wha..." Klemey pulled once again at her hands, finally she managed to snap the binding. She pulled the rest of the blankets from him. Revealing his bruised and dirt covered body. Klemey saw that his shirt was ripped here and there and had a couple of blood stains on it. She reached for his face. "Ow..." Matthew winced at the touch of pain. "Here, come on to the bed..." Klemey slowly pulled his arm across her shoulder and lifted him. It took her several minutes to get him onto the bed and under the quilt. "There.."She smiled at him as she tucked him in. He seemed to be slowly gaining conscious. Klemey sat on the floor by him and softly ran her hand through his hair. "Klemey..." He looked at her. "I'm here." She looked back at him. "Matthew what happened to you? To us?" She asked. "I don't know...." He rubbed his head. "It's all hazy...I remember bits...A women asking me questions and a man punching me...Being tied to a chair...." He closed his eyes and tried to recall more. "She was looking for something...She said you have it..." He looked at her. "She said everything was your fault...And that...." His eyebrows went down in thought. "I can't remember....It's all hazy...." He looked at her. "Just like the night you found me with that girl...." Klemey stopped her hand midway through his hair. The girl she did remember. A red headed bimbo. Klemey remebered walking into his bedroom after hearing a burst of laughter, clearly from a women. She remembered opening the door and seeing Matthew with his eyes slightly closed, shirtless, laying on his bed. She was on top of him, also shirtless, kissing his chest. Klemey hadn't stayed to see any more of it. She had ran, ran to her car. Drove home and cried. Klemey sat on the floor and closed her eyes. She tried harder to remember that night. Had Mattew been drugged? Was it possible? If so who was that women? And most importantly why? Why was this happening? Klemey thought more clearly back to Matthew's appearance the night she walked in on him and the women. He did look different. He looked like he was on the verge of knocking out. She remembered how his arms were just thrown to his side and his eyes were faded as if his mind wasn't all there. Klemey gasped. The realization that Matthew hadn't been with another women, but instead had been drugged and was now laying before her beaten and worn came over her. She grabbed his face, more gently this time and moved her face towards him. "Oh, Matthew!" She kissed him. "I am so sorry for not believing you!" Wait! Klemey thought. She remembered a flash. She saw him in her living room apologizing, her slapping him, and then the smoke. She remembered him faintly calling out to her as the dizziness came over her, then the falling. The falling. She remembered how the fall to the kitchen floor felt like it had taken ages. She remembered the women walking into the kitchen. Then nothing, blackness, blankness.
