He Will Live On

Kai leaves the building through the window once he hears sirens. Kai quickly goes home, changes, and then gets in his car.

Kai: I need to go tell Natalie before she hears it on the news. She's going to be devastated.

Kai texts Natalie that he is going to be there, and starts driving. Kai walks up to Natalie's door and knocks. Natalie opens the door.

Natalie: What's going on? What did you need to talk to me about?

Kai walks inside the house, and Natalie closes the door.

Natalie: Kai, what's wrong?

Kai embraces Natalie, and then he just holds her.

Natalie: Not that I would ever turn down a hug from you. You have to talk to me.

Kai: Natalie… Jax was murdered.

Natalie just stops from the shock. While the cops are investigating Jax's crime scene.

Owen: First it's an FBI problem, and now a big star. This killer wants media attention.

Cop: He probably wants to scare the cops too. Showing that he can take someone down who stole from the military.

Owen sees a few small flashes of light.

Cop: Control your girlfriend. She's always sneaking onto crime scenes.

Owen: She's not my girlfriend.

Cop: Whatever you say.

Owen walks over to Remi.

Owen: Again Remi.

Remi: This is a huge story. Now a big celebrity is killed. How am I suppose to stay away from that?

Owen starts dragging Remi out of the crime scene. He drags her out of the building, and behind the police tape.

Remi: I don't think I deserved all that.

Owen: You know how this goes.

Remi: Fine, I'll see you at the next crime scene.

Remi starts walking away.

Owen: I don't think you understand!

Remi: I don't think you do!

Cop: That girl is wild.

Remi goes back to her house. She prints a picture, and sticks it to her board. The board has a picture of the Mark Smith case on it with the new picture.

Remi: Hm…

Remi stares at the pictures.

Remi: I don't think the cops are right. This is definitely the same killer, but…

Remi sits down in a chair, and crosses a leg over the other.

Remi: I don't think the killer is looking for media attention. There's no notes, no clues, nothing! If this killer really did want to get media attention he or she would do something to really stand out. Maybe this killer will, and just haven't done anything yet. I'll have to wait and see.

The next day Kai and Natalie fell asleep on the couch together. Kai wakes up, and gets off the couch. He taps Natalie. Natalie doesn't open her eyes, but she responds.

Natalie: What?

Kai: I'm gonna go out and get a coffee. Do you want anything?

Natalie: I just want to lay here.

Kai: Alright, I'll be back.

Kai leaves, and gets back in the car.

Kai(in head): Jax might have been a childhood friend, but we disconnected. While Jax and Natalie still hung out.

Kai drives to bibble and sips. The same lady who forgot her glasses is taking a while again. Kai gets a coffee, and sits in his car.

Kai(in head): I need to get my mind off of Jax for a little bit. I still don't know what invention I should make. I just know what it needs to do. I know it needs to be about seeing power scales.

The lady who always forgets her glasses walks past Kai's car.

Kai: That's it! Glasses. Glasses that can see power scales. It could help out anyone. Regular people could see who is stronger than them. The military and police could even use it too.

Kai finishes his coffee.

Kai: I should go back to check on Natalie

Kai drives back to Natalie's house. Kai knocks on the door, and then opens the door.

Kai(in head): Why is this door unlocked?

Kai: Natalie?!

Kai hears no response. Kai's heart starts pounding.

Natalie: What?

Natalie walks down the stairs. Kai has a sigh of relief.

Kai: Nothing.

Natalie: Did you see the news?

Kai: No, what's going on.

Natalie looks up a video on her phone, and shows it to Kai.

Reporter: The rapper Jax Diaz known more by the stage name Teflon was found murdered last night. The cops still don't know who the killer is, but they assure they will get to the bottom of this. Even though it has only been hours since Teflon's death people have been hashtagging "prayers for Teflon."

Natalie turns off the video, and she starts crying.

Natalie: He just started to become popular for his music. It was his dream to tour around the USA, but that will never happen now.

Kai: But he will be able to live on forever in his music.

Natalie wipes away her tears.

Natalie: Yeah…

Kai: Natalie, you're going to have to watch out whenever I'm gone.

Natalie: Why?

Kai: The man who killed Jax is coming after my friends.

Natalie gets a dark look at her face.

Natalie: The man who killed Jax did it to get back at you?

Kai: He gave me three clues to finding Jax. I spent the whole day looking for him freaking out, but I didn't know the killer had Jax. I just knew he had someone. I found Jax within the time limit, but Jax had been dead before I was even given the clues.

Natalie gets furious.

Natalie: Who killed Jax?

Kai: Natalie, calm down. No one knows who killed Jax. He was wearing knight armor.

Natalie: Then he shouldn't be too hard to find.

Natalie goes upstairs, and changes clothes while Kai just stays downstairs. Natalie comes downstairs in a more casual outfit.

Natalie: I know you don't want me to do this so I'll do this alone.

Natalie walks right past Kai, and Kai grabs her hand. Natalie turns around.

Kai: If you find any lead you call me. Jax has fire powers, and was taken down. I'll be there as quick as I can no matter what I'm doing.

Natalie holds Kai's hand a little tighter.

Natalie: Okay.

Kai lets go, and Natalie leaves the house. After Natalie leaves Kai gets in his car.

Kai(in head): While Natalie tries to get leads I'm going to keep working on my business. I would help her, but I have a feeling she wants to look for Jax's killer alone.

Cal texts Kai., and Kai picks up his phone to see the text.

Cal(text): Wanna go bowling?

Kai(text): Sure.

Kai drives to the bowling ring. Cal and Kai start playing.

Cal: What have you been up to?

Kai: Hanging out with friends. Trying to come up with an idea for my business.

Cal: Are you still trying to come up with an idea?

Kai: I got an idea, but I don't know how to create it.

Cal: You got to get someone to help you actually build the product. People who make an idea don't actually create it themselves. They just come up with the idea.

Kai: I can't pay someone to work on it.

Cal: Offer them something once you get a business going. Give them a high spot on the company. Then they'll take the deal because it's just to good of an offer.

Kai: That's actually a really good idea Cal, thanks.

Cal: I know I'm great.

While this is happening Remi goes to her work building to go to a meeting. Everyone sits down at the table. The managers start asking different workers what they are working on. Remi starts tapping her foot nervously. Then they call on Remi.

Manager: Ms.Mendoza, what are you working on?

Remi: Well, I uh, have been working on the story about the new deaths. Mark Smith and Jax Diaz.

Manager: We already have stories on the new deaths. Those were big and important. We had to get those out immediately.

Remi: No, not a regular story. I have been figuring out new stuff on that case-

Manager: That is detective work. We just report the news. See me in my office after this.

The manager moves on, and asks other people about what they're working on.

Everyone leaves, and Remi follows the manager into her office. The manager sits down in her chain.

Manager: Sit down.

Remi sits down in the chair in front of the manager.

Manager: Remi, I like you. You've got a lot of spunk, and you put in a lot of work. The problem is you keep trying to do the job of a detective. Not of a reporter. You report, you don't figure out cases using evidence. Remi, if this isn't a huge story. I'll have to fire you.

Remi: Don't worry. This story is big. I promise. I just need time!

Manager: All I can give you is another week or two.

Remi: That's all I need. I won't stop until I finish this story.

Remi leaves the manager's office.
