Killer

If there was one thing that Travis Stoll didn't understand, it was Kay G, one of New York's most wanted. Kay is a very new criminal, but doesn't make naïve mistakes. At every crime scene, a single rose is left with a small note attached. On the note are the words Kay G in intricate, loopy handwriting. The rose is always on the dead body; whether in the hand, pocket, or mouth.

Kay G's gender is unknown. She is assumed to be a woman though, which came from a tip from Kay herself. Police officer Travis Stoll was staking out a scene of the crime after Kay G struck. He didn't know why. Why would a serial killer return to where they murdered someone? None the less, he wasn't going to disobey the orders of his boss.

Travis kneeled behind the couch, thinking that it was a good enough hiding place. He was in the living room of the victim's house… a creepy place, really. The house had an ongoing theme of pink and floral print. Lace cushions and embroidery decorated the living space, creating an air of delicateness. Travis wondered why anyone would kill someone who seemed so sweet- at least, based on their home. He peered over the couch, scanning his surroundings.

On the ground was a chalk drawing of where the body of the victim was. Travis believed that her name was Drew Tanaka, or something. Travis remembered coming to the crime scene and seeing the bloody body for the first time. Drew's throat was slit, and she looked like she was left to bleed out, judging by the amount of blood on the ground. Ms. Tanaka originally was wearing a braid. Kay G had woven the rose in Drew's black hair.

Three hours passed and Travis was starting to get bored. He saw no harm in surveying his surroundings, so he got up from behind the couch, his knees cracking. He jumped over the side and landed lightly on the ground. Keeping a hand on his gun, Travis walked around the dim lit room, avoiding the shadows. He admits, he was slightly paranoid and a bit afraid of this 'Kay G'.

Walking around the room, he looked at Drew's belongings. They were mostly pictures of her. Some of them were headshots, others looked like someone- maybe a family member- took them for her. None of them were of possible boyfriends, best friends, or anything. Travis flicked on a pink table lamp to get a closer look at some of the pictures. When the light was turned on, he noticed a glimmer under a floral armchair. Kneeling down, Travis grabbed what was shining. It was a silver bracelet with a single charm on it.

"I wouldn't survey that bracelet if I were you," a voice said in the darkness. Travis quickly turned around pulling his gun out of its holster and positioning it towards the voice.

"Who's there?" he asked, his voice steady. He was trained to not let his voice quiver or stutter when confronting someone. The person walked out from the shadows and into the light, totally at ease despite the gun that was pointed to their head. The person wore a black jacket and black pants that hung to their skin. On the person's feet were black combat boots. Kay wore black leather gloves and a mask around his face. One Kay's head was a hat that hid his hair. Kay G showed no skin at all, except for the nose and mouth area. Travis tried to look at the color of Kay G's eyes, but it was too dark to tell.

"Give me the bracelet," Kay demanded, holding a gloved hand out. Kay G took a singled step forward.

"Freeze!" Travis yelled. Kay let out an amused smirk. Travis was surprised that he didn't laugh out loud.

"You're funny," Kay said, "But I'm done with this game. Give me that bracelet."

"Why would a guy want Drew's jewelry?" Travis asked, making a fist around the piece of metal. The smirk on Kay's face grew.

"Because I'm a girl and that's mine, not Drew Tanaka's," Kay said. Travis' eyes widened and flew to the chest area of Kay's body. Her jacket was big and loose enough to show nothing. She took another step closer. Travis played with the bracelet in his hand.

"Do not mess with that bracelet unless you want to get hurt," Kay warned. Not caring about Travis' gun, she glided over to Travis' hand and snatched the bracelet away so fast that Travis wasn't sure if they even had contact.

"Hey!" Travis yelled, positioning the gun to her temple. Kay G didn't react. She held the bracelet in one hand and tugged on the charm with her other hand. The charm came off, but Kay kept on pulling. Travis' eyes widened again. Usually he wouldn't be able to see it, but coming from the charm and the bracelet was a thin wire of metal that could be used to kill someone- probably to slit someone's throat.

"Just looking out for you, blue eyes," Kay G said. Travis wondered how she could see his eye color in this light. Travis opened and closed his mouth in shock. He noticed her hand stray casually to the black belt around her waist. It held two knives, a gun, and a red rose on it. Travis straightened his gun arm and put a finger on the trigger.

"You're under arrest," Travis told her. Kay G was silent for three seconds before letting out a loud, throaty laugh that made Travis jump in surprise. The laugh then transformed into a breathy, hiccup chuckle, and then into a high, girlish giggle.

"You're cute, sugar pie. You know what? I'll keep you around, because I like you," Kay G said, already backing away. Travis wondered why he wasn't pulling the trigger. She was defenseless- why wasn't he doing anything! "Here. Have a rose." Kay threw the rose and it gracefully landed at Travis Stoll's feet.

"Stop walking," Travis said, his voice not a loud as before.

"I'll see you again, Travis Stoll," Kay G said. Travis then shot at her, but she knew what was coming and ducked. She then disappeared, blending into the shadows.


"What do you mean, you saw Kay G?" Clarisse bellowed. Clarisse was Travis' boss, the chief of police. She hated Kay G, for Kay was the only criminal that slipped between Clarisse's fingers.

"I didn't only see her," Travis said, "I also talked to her." Clarisse slammed a fist on her desk, causing a banging sound that made Travis flinch.

"Tell me what you talked about!" Clarisse yelled. She got fired up whenever Kay G was involved.

"Kay G is a woman," Travis said. He also told Clarisse what Kay was wearing and her bracelet/weapon. "She also said that s-she liked me. I amuse her," Travis said. Upon hearing that, Clarisse's face turned bright red. She took a deep breath and turned to her computer.

"You may go home now, Travis Stoll. I will see you tomorrow."


"Well, well, well," Kay G said, popping out of the shadows. Travis looked up to see Kay G in all her glory. Ever since Clarisse found out that Kay liked Travis, she has been putting Travis on stake outs of every one of Kay's crimes. Each time, Kay was there. They talked, they threatened to kill each other, and in each conversation, Kay revealed something about herself to Travis. The first time, she told him that she was a woman. The second time they talked, Kay G said that her real name wasn't Kay. The third, she said that she hated roses. The fourth, Travis was sure that there was a breakthrough.

"I… uh," Travis stammered.

"Cat got your tongue?" Kay G whispered. She stalked over to him, her hips swaying. There was a change in Kay's costume. She still wore the same black combat boots and tight pants, but instead of her loose jacket, she wore a tight leather top that still covered her neck. She still wore her mask, but took the hat away from her outfit. Brilliant curly, blonde locks flowed from her head. She wore a startling red lipstick on her lips.

"You uh, your costume," Travis said, resting his hand on his gun.

"I wanted to mix things up," Kay G said, getting close to Travis, close enough that he could feel her breath on his neck. Travis looked down at her eyes. They were a shade of stormy blue, or gray. Kay wrapped her arms around Travis' waist and brought her lips to his jaw. Immediately, Travis pushed her forcefully away.

"I can't," Travis said, wiping his jaw of any of her lipstick that could've wiped off.

"What's this? Do you have a woman in your life, or something?" Kay G asked, smirking.

"As a matter of fact, I do," Travis said, pulling out his gun and pointing it at her.

"I see," Kay said, still smirking, "Well, I will see you again, Travis." She then blended in with the shadows, but not before throwing another rose at his feet.


When Travis told Clarisse that Kay G had curly blonde hair and gray eyes, she practically screamed from excitement. Jumping up from her chair, Clarisse quickly gave Travis a hug and did a happy dance. She then cleared her throat and let Travis leave.

In his car, Travis wondered if he should tell his girlfriend about Kay G. She would get pretty upset if I didn't tell her, Travis reasoned, And I don't want to lose Katie.

When he got back to his house, he was surprised when Katie didn't blow up about Kay G liking him. "I've heard about this Kay G on the news," Katie said as she washed the dishes. Travis listened to her as he dried the plates beside her. "I am slightly creeped out that she has taken a liking to you, though."

"Trust me," Travis said, "I am too."


The next time Travis saw Kay G was a few weeks after her last murder. She surprisingly hadn't committed any crimes for a few weeks and Travis got a chance to breathe. He was staking out the murder of Ethan Nakamura, waiting for Kay to show up. The minute he saw her, Travis deflated.

This time, she had pin-straight, red hair and brown eyes. You have got to be kidding me, Travis thought. "So, you don't have blonde hair," Travis said to her. She eyed him mysteriously.

"I'm not saying I do. I'm not saying I don't," she said, pulling the charm on her bracelet nonchalantly.

The thing that didn't change in her appearance was her red lipstick. Another thing that didn't change was her trying to make a move on him. Each time, she would try to kiss him, and each time, he would push her away, harder than the last. Despite that, she smiled every time, not getting upset at all.

Kay G did stop giving Travis hints about who she was and what she was like. But, when Travis told Clarisse about that, she still wouldn't let him stop the stakeouts. Katie started to get mad at Travis- he came home later and later every night.

Each time Kay met Travis, she had different hair and eyes. The next time she came, she had brown hair and green eyes. The next, she had blonde hair and purple eyes. Then it was blue hair and red eyes. Travis just couldn't figure any more out about Kay G.

She still threw a rose to him every night though, just as she was leaving.

When Travis told Clarisse that he wasn't finding any new information about Kay G, she let out a defeated sigh.

"Fine," she said, "Then I guess this game is over. The next time you see her, I want you to arrest her."

"I've tried," Travis protested, "She keeps getting away, though."

"I don't want you to talk to her anymore. The minute you see her, arrest her. No dilly dallying."


"Hello, Travis Stoll," Kay G said. Travis looked up and reached for his gun. This time, Kay had curly black hair and electric blue eyes.

"Not talking, are we?" Kay G asked, walking up to Travis. She put a hand over the one on his gun, keeping it down with surprising strength.

"How are you?" Kay G asked, her lips grazing the corner of her mouth. Travis' lips tightened into a thin line, but Kay didn't seem to care. Travis tried pushing her away, but Kay G kept his arms down.

"You know…" she said, moving her lips close to his, "This silent treatment is kinda… hot." She finally leaned in and pressed her lips against Travis'. Pulling away as suddenly as it started, Kay G jumped back before Travis could do anything.

"I've got to use the little girls' room, but I will be right back," she whispered, and then stalked down the hall. Travis heard the door slam shut and he let out a breath.

Standing up, Travis pulled the gun from its holster, walking down the hall. When he got to the bathroom, he took a deep breath and brought his boot up to the door. Kicking it open, he shoved his way into the bathroom and found… nothing.

"My, my, my," Kay G said. Travis moved his head to place where her voice came from. She was somehow perched on top of the shower, right next to an open vent. "And I thought we could trust each other."

"If you can trust me, then why are you up there?" Travis growled, pointing his gun at her. Kay G thought for a moment.

"Good point," she said, and then ducked into the vents. Travis yelled out in frustration and shot at the place she used to be, knowing there was no use.

When he told Clarisse that Kay G got away, she exploded on him. Once she calmed down, Clarisse told him to go home, saying that he wouldn't need to go on any more stake outs. From now on, a group of officers will be talking his place.

Travis let out a breath when he got inside his car. Clarisse reacted better than he thought she would. When he got home, he sunk down on the couch, exhausted.

"Why are you home so late?" Katie asked, as she entered the room. She was wearing a bathrobe and her hair was in a towel.

"Just take a shower?" Travis asked. Katie nodded and sat down on his lap. She then started massaging his shoulders. "I was at a stake out," Travis said. Katie stopped massaging.

"With that Kay G?" Katie asked. Travis nodded, unsure about what her reaction would be. He was surprised to see tears start to well up in her eyes.

"Babe, are you okay? Katie?"

"I'm just so worried about you!" Katie said, hugging Travis tight. Travis rubbed her back, murmuring soothing words to her.

"You have nothing to worry about. I deal with these people all of the time," Travis whispered in her ear. "Do you want to know the good news?" Travis asked her. Katie nodded and wiped her tears on the bathrobe sleeve.

"I don't have to see that Kay G anymore," he said, "Clarisse took me off stake out duty." Katie pressed her forehead against his.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah." Katie started to lean in for a kiss before stopping.

"What's- What's that on your lips?" she asked. Travis opened his eyes to see her. Katie's eyes were narrowed and she was pointing a finger at his lips. She then wiped that finger against his lips and looked at it. "Lipstick," she said, showing it for Travis to see, "Did you kiss that Kay G?" Sure enough, on her finger was red lipstick.

"She kissed me!" Travis said holding his hands up. Katie just sneered and jumped off his lap. "Katie!" Travis cried.

"I'm going to bed," Katie yelled over her shoulder. Travis then heard the bedroom door slam.


"I'm sorry again for overreacting," Katie said, giving him a hug and handing Travis his lunch.

"You weren't overreacting. I would be mad too if someone kissed you," he said. Travis then gave her a peck on the lips. "I'll see you when I come back from work."

Katie watched as Travis headed out the front door. She then went into the backyard to her garden. It was lush, and filled with all sorts of plants and flowers. Going up to the rosebushes, Katie took out a pair of gardening scissors and cut off a red rose. Going back inside, she went into the bathroom. Katie Gardner searched through her makeup bag until she got out her red lipstick.

Yesterday, when Katie was eating at her favorite restaurant, a waiter name Luke Castellan was awfully rude to her, insulting her food choices and remarking about whether she should eat that much. She had to sit there and take all of his insults with a smile. Katie Gardner couldn't do anything about him, but Kay G might be able to fix him.


YAY I'm done! So, I guess this is another chapter! What do you think of it? Remember to Review!
