"So anyway as I was saying. The whole case was a huge sensation. It's been the talk of Russia!"

Kai nodded his head as he reached for his suitcase. "Do you know the verdict?" he inquired. The train came to a shuddering stop before the doors opened with a loud hiss. Other people reached for their suitcases.

"You bet! Brooklyn was given a guilty sentence but he's being admitted into Twin peaks Mental Hospital as they judge has ruled down the insanity plea."

Kai sighed, waiting for other people to leave the train before he even attempted to move. Finally there was enough space to breath and Kai joined the queue to get off. "Figures. The Brooklyn we know was a cold killer. The other Brooklyn had no part in the murders." Kai mumbled.

"Well me and Nathan-kun were asked to be at the court so we heard everything. His mother had a split personality and it seemed to have past onto Brooklyn. The Kingston personality was created when his mother died, some way for Brooklyn to cope." The line was silent. "So? How you finding Bruges?"

Kai looked round as he stepped off the train and onto the platform. "Just a question Jemma. Have you ever been here?" He asked. A nervous chuckled was heard in reply. "I take that as a no."

"I haven't been there but I saw it in a movie once. Really nice place. Great for taking photos of." Jemma chuckled a little again. "Oh come on Kai. You need a break! You'll love it, honest."

Kai rolled his eyes skywards. "And how the hell did you get me to agree to this? Oh wait, I remember. You didn't."

Jemma pouted on the other end. "Hey! I knew you'd say no even if I asked so I brought the ticket for you and book everything. That way you wouldn't have a say in the matter." Kai cursed in Russian. "You'll love it there. You'll thank me later on, mark my wor…"

The phone went dead.

Jemma stared at the screen, wondering if her batteries went. When it wasn't that, Jemma glanced over to Nathan who was sitting at the table and reading. "He hung up!" she gasped. Nathan raised an eyebrow.

"He took your call. That's good enough."

--------

Kai placed his suitcase down and pulled out a set of direction from his pocket. He scanned them, unable to make sense of where he was and where his hotel was. Suddenly a gang of kids ran past, shoving Kai into a stranger. The smaller Russian growled loudly and glared at the kids. "Watch where you're going next time!" he yelled.

"Are you all right?"

Kai turned back to the stranger and dusted himself off. "I'm fine. Sorry about that." Kai muttered. The stranger chuckled a little.

"It's fine. The kids round here are usually rough." The stranger replied. Kai looked up at the stranger. Pale skin, ice blue eyes and dark red hair. Kai had to do a triple take and even then he went pale.

"T-T-Tala? But how?" Kai spluttered. The stranger frowned a little and shook his head.

"I'm sorry. I think you have me mistaken. I'm Yuiry Valkov. May I know your name?" Kai was silent for sometime before snapping back to the present. His cheeks were heating up slightly.

"Kai, Kai Hiwatari. I'm sorry. You look like a friend of mine. You could be his twin." Kai responded. Yuriy chuckled a little. Kai shook his head. "I really should get going. I have to find this hotel and I'm pretty lost as it is." The smaller Russian huffed. Yuiry gently took the directions from Kai who glared at the taller male. "Hey I need that."

"The Wall-flower? I'm staying there." Yuriy commented. Kai blinked. "I can show the way there if you like. I always go there when I come to Bruges." Yuriy bent down to pick up his suitcase. Kai followed his example. "First time here?" Yuiry questioned. Kai nodded his head.

"Yeah. A friend of mine booked the whole for me. Said I need a holiday." Yuiry chuckled again.

----------

"Ah! Mr Valkvo. So good to see you again."

Yuiry set his suitcase down and smiled. "It's good to be back. Everything ready?" The receptionist nodded his head.

"Of course. Room 667 is ready and waiting for you." The receptionist paused and reached for a key. He handed it to Yuiry before seeing Kai. "Can I help you sir?" Kai moved to stand next at the desk. His arm brushed against Yuiry and he had a hard time hiding his blush.

"Yeah, a friend booked a room for me. Mister Hiwatari." Kai informed. The receptionist checked his information before nodding his head.

"Here we are. Room 668." Kai and Yuiry glanced at each other as the receptionist went to get the key. "Is something wrong?" He inquired when he returned with the key. Both male shook their head, thanked the receptionist and headed up to their rooms.

"If you want, I can always show you around. Bruges is a great place to take photos." Yuiry offered. Kai almost dropped his keys. Yuiry looked away, a little embarrassed himself. "Sorry. Guess it was a little…"

"Sure. I could do with a guide." Kai smiled faintly. Yuriy returned it.

------------

"You think Kai's having fun?"

Nathan shrugged. "Maybe. Bruges is a pretty small place. Why pick there though?" he asked. Jemma grabbed a handful of popcorn and looked round. Nathan munched on a handful of sweets as he waited for her reply.

"Saw it in a film. Thought maybe it would be a good place for Kai." Jemma answered truthfully. "Jeeze that's all we need." Jemma commented with a disgusted look on her face. Nathan turned to look behind him.

"What?"

"Couple in the back. Jeeze, if he wanted to get her in the mood, this film isn't the right one." Jemma muttered and settled back in her chair. Nathan rolled his eyes. "Should have taken her to a chick flick or a horror film."

"Still so protective of your super heroes." Nathan chuckled. He was rewarded with a handful of popcorn thrown at him.

"Yes. Watchmen is hardly a film to get your girlfriend in the mood for some fun back home. Honestly! People these days." Jemma huffed. Nathan snickered to himself.

"Unless they're like you who seemed to get hot under the collar whenever she sees either the Joker or Batman." He teased. Jemma opened her mouth but before she could say anything the lights of the cinema dimmed. Jemma however wasn't going to let her retort go unused.

"You and I both know my little Nathan-kun that if my next boyfriend turned up wearing either costume, I would jump them in a second." She whispered. Nathan glanced over to her.

"Like you did to me?"

"That was one time!"

And that my friends, is the end of Shutter. I thought I was never going to get this finished. Anyhoo thank you to everyone who has stuck by and read this story. Love ya all!
