EXTRA KAI Chapter 200: The Police
Last Updated:
2020-11-05 10:03:24Awaiting Lila at the front of the cafe, at the desk and post that she had abandoned for the sake of the child that was now resting in her office, there were two police officers, a man and a woman, stood facing each other and murmurring in low voices.
"Excuse me, Miss, Sir," Lila began, making sure to keep her voice serious and ensuring to properly ennunciate each and every letter and syllable that came out of her mouth.
"Ah, yes. You must be the one who called 999 approximately ten minutes ago. We came, answering your call, and now, we would like to know what the issue was. There is nothing here to match the worry in your voice, and we would like to ensure that the use of your emergency call wasn't done for the sake of a stupid joke," the male police officer spoke down at Lila, something sneering and slimy in his tone of voice that made Lila feel as if there was something intrinsically wrong with her.
"In the car park, behind this business, a large group of t

"What are you implying?" Emmet demanded, turning around to fully face Lila, his vision briefly becoming fuzzy and subjecting him to the horror of the woman in front of him having an identical twin. The blur that had seized his vision gradually receeded and faded away, the lines of the world sharpening once more as Emmet tried to blink away the fuzz, rubbing at his eyes, looking upwards to see Lila's face again. For once in her life, she was acting amendable, waiting for him and his vision to clear up, turning around to face him, giving Emmet the time of day as she plastered on a smile and bothered to look him in the eyes. In her hands, the time machine, the big, boxy, heavy thing, rested lightly, as if it didn't weigh something like a very determined tonne of lead that was detirmined to launch itself into the centre of the Earth. She was unfairly physically strong, and Emmet had to wonder what her exercise routine was. She probably spent those l

It was far too silent. The silence that filled the cafe was uncomfortably warm, and the lights a little bit too dim, unrelenting and almost reaching the threshhold of an annoying, buzzing, slight pain. Emmet was actively stopping himself from looking over towards Lila, constantly hearing all the noises and little shuffles that she was making as she fiddled with the time machine, moving about it and messing with it far more than what Emmet had guessed that it required. Whatever she was doing with it, the time and effort that she was putting in far surpassed even Alice's best estimates of the extent of the system interface and how he supposed that the time machine was supposed to work. Emmet's eyes lowered to ground as he thought about Alice, and he wished her a happy and bright future with Doctor Johnstone wherever they were now, lamenting silently, letting his eyes move and trace the seams where the wooden book shelves met the wooden, laminated floor.

There was a body on the floor. There was a grey ceiling above Emmet, grey walls all around him, and a grey floor below him. There was no door to let anyone in, and anyone out, only a single, hand sized vent at the top of one wall, bordering the ceiling. There was a corpse on the floor. There was no way in, and no way for anyone to possibly escape this place. They were bricked into this tiny box of a room, the prison cell only allowed to be opened from the outside, nothing on the inside allowing him to get out of this place, walls made from grey, grey metal, seemingly unable to be pierced, damaged, or scratched. There was nothing but a dry husk left in the bricked up catacomb basement cell here: the pale, pale, deathly grey skin of the body stretched over the too sharp and distinct bones of the body. Emmet felt as if he was going to be sick, and fell to the floor, backwards, and landing on his tailbone, swearing in pain as he was unable to tear

Lila couldn't take Emmet's display of excessive emotion for a single moment longer. It made her sick to her stomach, watching such pathetic snivelling and grovelling when the man had all the confirmation that he needed to know that everything was going to work out just fine. Emmet wasn't making any sense, and, quite frankly to her, what he was doing was far more of a hinderance than anything, all of that sentiment and love chanelled out into probably the most useless way possible in this situation. So she pulled out a water bottle from her skirt pocket and slammed it down onto the floor, right by Emmet's head, before slightly unscrewing the lid and placing it down. Immediately, she saw the effects of her actions. The man in front of her moved from wiping his tears away obsessively fawning over something that was a near corpse, to going deadly silent, his breathing quickening and becoming sharper for a short moment, before finally relaxin

Jasper looked... so small. With his legs semi stretched out over Emmet's, they fell short on the other man's body, their length only reaching about partway through where Emmet's shins began and ended, a category of length that Lila's legs fell into, much to her pride on at least some level. But, seeing the size difference between them, just like this with Emmet leaning over Jasper and shielding his body like a yawning cave, Jasper looked so small. He had been reduced from an admittedly lithe man with not much in terms of figure or shape that couldn't be defined further than slightly stick like, to becoming nothing more than a skeletal husk, made of nothing but sharp angles and an even sharper effect on each and every person in the prison cell with him. He was far too small and Lila was sure that she could make an anatomically correct diagram of the human skeleton through the direct observation of him and him alone. His once tan skin, onl

There was something wrong. The guards were running through the corridors, all congregating in their orders, arranging themselves in accordance with their individual rankings and experience and alligning themselves in the formation of which the charge would be led. The scientists of the North Western Facility watched them go through their routines, puzzled at how, for once, their war patterns were not aimed at them, at how they were all aimed at making a small, direct tunnel that led all the way from the bedrooms towards the main dining hall. There were no external details shared with them, nothing particularly substantial other than the simple snippet of, "There are multiple individuals in Red_Two's cell." Any questions levied at the soldiers were ignored. All concerns of how many of them were there now were ignored. All queries of how they managed to get in without the use of the fledging, and practically non existent, teleportation t

Lila stood up and pushed the time machine towards the loving couple, Emmet with tears in his eyes and Jasper playing only a fascimile of life in his dehydrated and starved state. Her past self, even without the knowledge of the two men's arrival, would still have all the necessary medical equipment to provide the two of them with, and she wouldn't exactly be upset by their presence, even if she would at least put on an act of complaint and annoyance at first. Making sure that the time machine was, in fact, physically touching Emmet and Jasper both, moving one of Jasper's arms - which had curled inwards into his body - to press down onto the top of the time machine, his fingers lightly curled over the front edge of the devise as the back of the metal casing was firmly pressed into Emmets legs, scrunching up the fabric of his trousers as it did so. The two of them looked as if they could belong to a painting, and with a heavy heart, Lila let herself step back,

Lila's eyes were wide and defiant when a firearm was directly aimed at the pupils of her eyes, the image of the deep, dark, black passage of the gun directly being imprinted on her retinas. She smirked. Behind her, the bright light of the time machine exploded, just as planned and right on time. She did not move as all the others in front of her were forced to momentarily turn away or had their eyes overwhelmed with the sheer brightness and power of the shine. Jasper had once detailed his experience with one of the corpss's of the Empire, the body having scavenged off from one of the battefields where a helicopter had malfunctioned and had fallen into a forest, years before he had even gone to live with his aunt. There had been a single soldier inside and his body had quickly enough been whisked away to be dissected and examined, with all the technology thoroughly analysed for their function and weaknesses. The shaded visor on the helmets was

“Why’re you sleeping on the floor like that? Come on, get up. You’ll hurt your back doing that,” Doctor Marigold chided, dragging all her bits of heavy machinery around the office space to prepare for her demonstration.Behind her, Lila remained still.“I know that you’re not dead. Come, get up already,” she called out, stepping over a few sheets of paper that she had laid out to grab Lila by the shoulder and heave her up into sitting.The stubborn girl just flopped down again, not opening her eyes.“If you get the fuck up, we can move the flight a week forward so you can stop worrying about it,” Lucy Marigold shouted across the room.Like a rubber band, Lila snapped back up and finally opened her eyes.It had been harder to see the bags below them when they had been closed and Doctor Marigold wondered if she should buy the girl some sleep tablets.“I’m awake,” Li

Yolanda seemed to understand that she needed to back off and stop teasing Gretel, when the other woman's eyes suddenly misted over, and it was if she was no longer a part of this world.She kept the bubbling annoyance within her away from her face, putting on instead a mask of concern as she reached out and poked Gretel's arms, trying to maybe prod her out of her stupor and bring her back from the recesses of her mind.Yolanda had never actually seen somebody collapse inwards to a catatonic state over her own actions.It was interesting to see it all happen and fold out in front of her.She poked Gretel again, touching her in the face lightly to see if that would possibly work to pull the other woman out of her mind and back into the world where she was needed proper.It wouldn't reflect well on her if Gretel didn't wake up within the hour.It didn't feel as

When she awoke, she was sat ready to eat and was dressed just like her mother, in a pastel blouse and a lungi down to the floor.Lila looked down at herself and jumped when she heard rattling, noticing the ten, or so, bangles on each arm and the lines of mehndi that ran down all the way to the hems of her sleeves, resting halfway between her shoulders and elbows. A pin held her blouse shut at the top and a quick once over of her hair, with one of her hands, revealed that it had been styled in a simple bun and adorned with flowers.“This is weirdly romantic,” Lila commented, staring at the lit candles nestled in the variously sized candelabrums set around the circular room.There was no door, but a giant window which led to a balcony outside. There was no ceiling but the walls reaching upwards, all the way up, until they formed a dome in the same shade of dull brown that coated the floor and the giant, round table in the centre.The only dishes

“So, is she finally asleep?” Emmet asked the boy stood behind the counter. He was exceedingly slim for someone surrounded by sugar all day and Emmet could make out the outlines of his spindly elbows through his shirt. His face held a no nonsense, blunt, and almost bored expression. “Yeah, she is. She’s been knocked out on the sofa since I sent her back there,” Kai answered the long haired man in front of him, his hair pulled back by a ribbon matching his eyes before being pulled over his shoulder once more. He looked vain. “Oh good. Don’t tell her that I was involved,” the man asked, putting both his palms up to face Kai. “I’m telling her that you’re a fucking weirdo for that,” was the scowled answer. “No. Seriously, don’t tell her. She doesn’t like me and I don’t like her. She’s known my partner for longer that I’ve known him. She doesn’t trust me with him. Why’re you making that face?” Emmet tried to justify himself before giving up

“Are you sure that you’re getting enough sleep?” Kai asked Lila, watching her sway on her feet and clutching the front counter.“Yes,” she gasped, dropping her head into her hands, elbows on the table.“Go and lie down on the sofa. Go to sleep for a bit. I’ll wake you up when I have to leave for college,” Kai instructed her, tapping her on the shoulders and shepherding her towards the office.“… fine,” she conceded, letting Kai move her along towards the back.“You know that this just proves my point,” Kai pointed out, pushing her through the boundary of the door and closing it behind her.“Fine,” she whispered back to him, talking into the silence of the office.She let herself fall over the sofa, draping her upper body over the arm rest and letting her head be cushioned by the pillows.

“One! Two! Three! Four! Five!Now again!One! Two! Three! Four! Five!Now keep on going!”Lila landed each punch, timing her breaths to the count as she moved her fists, dodging underneath the swing that came towards her head, before blocking the second hit that came to her and moving along with the force of the fist that hit her arm.The swinging punching bag forced distance between Lila and Tweedle Dum, and she stepped back to where she was stood before, within the path of the moving bad, to put more distance between him and her.“One! Two! Three! Four! Five!One! Two! Three! Four! Five!”Lila punched the bag once more, landing all of her hits.“Okay, time for a break,” Tweedle Dum announced, grabbing the punching bag and pulling it back to him as Lila moved away from the centre of the room, sitting down on one of the rickety plastic chairs at the side of the room.She took of

“Bitch! Why’d you run off and abandon me like that!?” Lila shouted from behind the counter when Kai finally walked back into the store.She was waving her hands about and wore an apron covered in flour as the single customer in the store, an old man precariously balancing on his cane, slept whilst leaning on the radiator.“I thought that you wanted some bonding time with your family so I left you to do that it private!” Kai answered her, tiptoeing past their unconscious patron, in a combination of whispering and shouting.“They’re hardly my family and you left us in the middle of a public café!” Lila cried, not modulating her voice at all.In the background, the old man began to snore.“But you still talk to them a lot like you do to me, so I let you, and besides, I got about fifty more pages of Good Omens done in Waterstones,” Kai appealed, finally at the counter and opening up the

Gretel and Silver had their fun as he continued to teach her how the interface worked and how he had managed to figure out that the system was an older model from the lack of integration between the screen and the touch pad, and explaining how easily it would potentially be to do so once the technology, as displayed in this device, had been demonstrated and established to work in a functional product."We were working on something like this as well, back in the workshops back home for the company that I was in the research and development department for. We were trying to get our motion sensors to be as small as possible for more commercial and personal use of technology that we could sell to the public and those who couldn't afford the contact computers.We had no idea on how their tech worked, because of trade and company secrets and all, but we managed to piece together a few things by looking at the patents and when we bought a few and m

“Alright, the shop’s free. Why are you actually here?” Lila questioned, crossing her arms and staring down at the tablecloth of Jasper and Emmet’s table.“I’ve got lesson now. I’ll be back in a few hours,” the teenage boy behind Lila announced, picking up a bag that had been hidden behind the counter the entire time and rushing outside.Lila continued to stand there, waiting for a reply.Jasper couldn’t help but notice that she wasn’t meeting either his or Emmet’s eyes.“Are you planning to leave us?” he asked her back.Lila’s fingers dug into the creases of her shirt,” I’m going to be leaving for a trip soon, and I’ll be back as soon as I can. Kai’ll be running the shop and will be looking after things, broadly. He lives here now and I scheduled my leave for when his school term ends so he can take care of things.”“On thi
