Tell Laura, I Love Her!

The museum was quiet, the noise of people walking through it was finished for today. The only sound that could be heard, was the footsteps of a security guard walking through the museum.

"God this is so boring!" the security guard said to himself. "I'll be glad when this damn shift is over!" As the guard continued his rounds, there was another sound of footsteps, only it was coming from the roof. On the roof, there was a man dressed all in black. He stood over the

skylight on the roof of the museum, and pulled out a glass cutter. He carefully cut out the class, caught it before it fell, and sat it down beside him. Carefully, he tied a rope to a statue on the roof. Throwing the rope inside the museum, he carefully climbed down it. The man quietly walked through the museum, until he came across the big display. He walked over to the glass cover to see a sword. Carefully, he once again cut the glass, but when he touched the sword an alarm went off.

"Shit!" the guy thought to himself. From out of a corner came the security guard, gun in hand.

"Alright asshole!" said the security guard holding up the gun, "step away from the exhibit!" The man didn't move. "I'm warning you asshole!" said the security guard, the man still didn't move. "Alright that's it!" said the security guard. As he was about to pull the trigger, the man quickly pulled out a gun, and shot the guard in the neck. The guard held his hand up to where the blood was splurting out, as he fell to the ground.

"Asshole" said the man as he picked up the sword. As the man held the sword, he felt a strange sensation in his arm, that was quickly going through his whole body. His echo could be heard all through the museum, as he let out a painful yell.

Jabo let out a yell as he ran forward, Samurai sword in hand.

"Prepare to die asshole!" yelled Jabo. The man he was running at was the man from the museum. In his hand he held the sword, but had no emotion on his face. The man ran at Jabo holding up the sword. A battle ensued, the clanging of Jabos Samurai sword, and the mysterious mans sword. After a long battle, Jabo stabbed his Samurai sword through the chest of the man. For Jabo and the man, time seemed to temporarily stop. Jabo felt a presence, but didn't know what it was. The man fell to the ground, as Jabo pulled the Samurai sword out of his chest.

"What happened?" asked Laura "You looked spaced out for a minute." Jabo looked at his sword, then looked at Laura.

"I'm not sure!" said Jabo "C'mon let's go." As the group piled into the Hummer, James picked up the sword the man was holding, and placed it in the back of the Hummer. The group drove until they found a hotel, they got their rooms, and decided to relax. It was later that night, when Jabo was in his hotel room cleaning his weapons. As he finished cleaning his M16 and loading a clip, in walked Laura.

"Hey Jabo" said Laura "What's Up?"

"Just cleaning my weapons" said Jabo as he sat the M16 beside his other cleaned weapons.

"Well don't stay up too late" laughed Laura

"I won't!" Jabo laughed back. As Laura left, Jabo went back to cleaning his weapons. Jabo picked up his Samurai sword and started cleaning it. As he cleaned the blade, he tightened his grip on the handle. A minute or so later, he started feeling a weird sensation in his hand. As he looked at the sword, he saw that nothing was there so he went back to cleaning. He then felt a pain shoot right up his arm, he let out a painful yell. At the sound of this, the whole group ran into Jabos room.

"What's wrong?" asked Gordon

"Oh" said Jabo "It's..uh..nothing!"

"Ok" said Gordon as he went back to his room. James pulled a joint out of his pocket, and offered it to Jabo.

"Want some of this shit?" asked James "It'll totally relax you.

"No thanks!" said Jabo. James left, Laura then walked up to Jabo.

"You sure you don't need anything?" asked Laura

"Well.." said Jabo "I can't explain what's going on, but I'm feeling a bad presence and I don't know if I can sleep here tonight." Laura put a finger over Jabos mouth, and put his hand in hers. She led him to her room. Jabo got into the bed, Laura got in beside him, embraced him, and their lips locked together. With a free hand, Laura reached over and turned off the light.

***

The next morning, Jabo woke up as he looked beside him he saw Laura laying right next to him. A small smile crept across his face, as he went into the washroom to wash up. As Jabo washed his face in the sink, he looked in the mirror at his reflection. All of a sudden, Jabo heard a deep evil laugh.

"What the fuck?" Jabo said to himself confused, he then felt the strange sensation in his arm again. Later that morning, Jabo decided to go for a walk. He had gotten about 100 feet away from the hotel, when Gordon caught up with him.

"Hey Jabo" said Gordon "where you going?"

"Just going for a walk" said Jabo as he rubbed his arm, in which the pain had increased.

"I see" said Gordon. He then noticed Jabo rubbing his arm "so what's with the arm?"

"It's nothing!" said Jabo

"No really" said Gordon "what's with the arm?"

"I SAID IT'S NOTHING!" yelled Jabo, as he pulled out an uzi with his sore arm, and pointed it at Gordons face.

"Whoa!" said Gordon "Put that thing down." Slowly Jabo lowered his arm. "Now what the fuck was that about?" asked Gordon

"I..I don't know!" said Jabo

"I think you might still be a little tired." said Gordon "Let's get back to the hotel."

"Alright" said Jabo, as Jabo and Gordon walked back towards the hotel, Jabo once again heard the evil laughter. "What the fuck is going on?" Jabo said to himself, as him and Gordon entered the hotel.

***

Later that evening, Jabo was lying on the bed. As the day had progressed, the pain entered Jabos other arm and his upper abdomen. As Jabo lied in bed, the rest of the group entered his room.

"Hey Jabo" said James "We're all going out for dinner, wanna come with?"

"No thanks" said Jabo in a painful voice "I'm suffering from some pain right now"

"Do you want us to stay?" Laura asked worriedly "We can go out another night!"

"No! Go!" said Jabo "I've dealt with worse pain!"

"Ok!" said Laura as she walked over and kissed Jabo on the forehead "We'll be back in a few hours!" As the group left Jabo turned on the radio and lied back in bed. "Number Of The Beast" By Iron Maiden was playing, as Jabo fell into a deep sleep.

***

A few hours had passed, and when Jabo woke up, he felt the pain all through his body. "What the fuck is going on?" said Jabo

"Nothing's going on!" came a deep voice "You just belong to me!"

"What the fuck are you..." said Jabo when all of a sudden his head drooped. When it came back up, he looked possessed. He walked over to his trenchcoat, put it on, strapped himself with his weapons, and jumped out the window. When he stood up, he found himself in an alleyway.

"Can you help me sir?" asked a homeless man, as he held out his hand. A smile came across Jabos face as he pulled out the Samurai sword, and cut off the homeless mans hand. "Ahh..you fucking!" said the homeless man as he stood up. Jabo pulled out an uzi, shot and killed the homeless man. Jabo put his weapons away, as he walked out of the alley, onto the streets.

"I wonder how Jabo's doing?" asked Laura as her James, and Gordon were walking down the streets.

"I'm sure he's doing ok!" said Gordon

"I hope you're right" said Laura "because..." Laura was interrupted by the sound of screaming.

"Stay here!" said Gordon "I'll check it out." As Gordon ran into an alley, he saw bodies of innocents sprawled on the ground. "Holy Shit!" said Gordon. He looked up the alley, and saw a figure in the distance. "Stop Motherfucker!" yelled Gordon, as he ran until he was right behind the figure. Gordon jumped and landed on top of the figure. "Alright motherfucker!" said Gordon, as he flipped the figure over "You're fucking dea...Jabo?" The figure that Gordon had caught was Jabo. "Hey man, did you happen to see who killed all those people?" Jabo said nothing, and pulled

out an uzi. "Hey!" said Gordon "I thought we already went through this shit!" Jabo began firing at Gordon, emptying the clip into Gordons chest.

"What the fuck was that?" said James, as he heard the gun shots.

"Think it's down here!" said Laura, as she pointed down an alley. James and Laura ran down the alley, until they stopped in front of Gordon. "Who did this?" asked Laura

"It was Jabo!" were Gordons last words.

"Jabo?!" exclaimed James "That's impossible!" James looked over at Laura, who was holding up an object.

"No, it isn't!" said Laura "This is Jabos uzi!" Laura looked at the other end of the alley to see Jabo. "Jabo?" Jabo looked at Laura then ran out of the alley.

"Did you just say Jabo?" asked James "Where is he?"

"He just ran out of the alley" said Laura sounding upset "he had a look of death."

"But what could be wrong with him?" asked James. All of a sudden, a newspaper flew into his face. "What the fuck is this?" said James as he began reading the newspaper. James read the paper, then looked up at Laura. "Holy Shit!"

"What?" asked Laura. James handed her the paper, Laura read the article:

SWORD STILL MISSING

A Sword stolen the other day is still missing. There could be danger, if it falls into the wrong hands. According to legend, a demon responsible for thousands of deaths is trapped in the sword. It is said the only way he can escape, is entering whoever handles the sword. The only way to trap it again, is to trap it in the sword.

"That guy!" said James

"What are you talking about?" asked Laura

"The guy Jabo killed the other day, the sword he had must have been that one."

"And?" said Laura

"The guy must have been possessed by this demon, and now somehow Jabo is possessed.

"But how?" asked Laura

"His Samurai sword" said James "when he killed the guy, the demon must have entered Jabos sword, then his body."

"Well we have to find him!" said Laura

"Yeah!" said James as he loaded his handguns "..and kill him!"

"Kill him?" cried Laura "No, we can't!"

"Look Laura" said James, as he placed his guns in the holsters. "If Jabos too far gone, we're not really gonna have a choice. You read what that fucking demon did, if he comes

back in his natural form, it'll be our fucking asses."

"Well," said Laura as a tear rolled down her cheek "If he has to die, let me do it!"

James and Laura followed the path of destruction Jabo had left. They followed it all the way to an abandoned warehouse.

"You gonna be okay to do this?" asked James

"Well," said Laura as she loaded a clip into her gun, and placed the sword in a holder on her back. "It's gotta be done!" As Laura entered the darkened warehouse, she began to hear noises. Laura walked to the center of the warehouse, and pulled out her handguns. "Alright motherfucker!" said Laura "Show Yourself!" Laura saw a trenchcoated figure come out of the shadows.

"Pleasure to see you Laura" came a deep voice from inside Jabo "I've been waiting for you!"

"Why is it a pleasure?" asked Laura.

"Because, it will give me great pleasure to kill the one person the worthless soul of this body loved!" said the deep voice.

"He...He loved me?" said Laura

"Yes," said the deep voice "but it won't matter anymore once you're dead!"

Jabo pulled out his samurai sword and ran at Laura with it. Laura dodged the attack and pulled out her guns. She had a clear shot at Jabos head.

"C'mon bitch!" said the voice "Shoot me!" Lauras arms fell to her sides "That's what I thought!" said the voice. Jabo once again ran at Laura. The pattern of attack attempts at Laura continued for some time. After some time, Laura became tired and fell. The next thing she knew, she had Jabos samurai sword at her throat. As the blade edged closer to Lauras throat, she looked up and saw a tear running down Jabos cheek. She looked at his mouth, reading his lips she made out the words HELP ME. Laura pulled out her guns, and hit Jabo across the face with them. She

knocked him on the ground, and put a gun to his face, as she pulled out the sword.

"What are you doing with that?" said the voice.

"Putting you away forever!" said Laura, as she stabbed the sword into Jabos chest. She then fell to her knees crying.

"Laura?" said a voice. Laura looked up, to see and hear Jabo talking to her.

"Oh Jabo," said Laura "I did it, I killed him!"

"No," said Jabo "You didn't, there's still one more thing!"

"What?" asked Laura

"Twist the blade!" said Jabo "It's the only way to stop him!"

"I..I can't!" said Laura

"You have to!" said Jabo. Tears rolled down Lauras cheek, as she twisted the blade. They heard the deep voice yell out in pain, and then go silent.

"We did it!" said Laura

"Yes we did!" said Jabo weakly, he motioned for Laura to come close to him. When she was right up to him, he kissed her on the cheek. "I Love You!" said Jabo, he turned his head and died. Laura cried as she exited the warehouse, holding Jabos body in her arms.

"Oh my god!" said James, as he ran over to Laura.

"C'mon" said Laura "we have to give him a proper burial!"

***

Laura placed a rose on top of the freshly filled grave. She stood there for a few minutes, As James stood by the Hummer. Laura finally walked over to the Hummer, and got in.

"You Okay?" asked James

"Yeah!" said Laura, looking down she saw the radio. "Maybe some music will cheer me up." As Laura turned on the radio, the song "Tell Laura I Love Her" By Ray Peterson was playing. Laura rested her head on James shoulder, and cried as they exited the town.

The End
