“Given the situation, I would have made the same call,” Sunshine murmured. She squeezed her husband’s hand. PDA was a no no when they were on duty. It would attract some criminals that wanted to tarnish reputations as well. Truth was she was proud of him for thinking like a level headed cop. Aqua had taught him well.

He sighed in soft relief and shifted his copy in his arms so he could sit more comfortably without hurting the guy. He looked down at his face. “Man, I need a haircut” he tried to joke. “I look like some kind of emo rocker” he was trying to ignore he silver red blood. This was just proof the guy wasn’t natural, wan’t human. Riku was trying very hard not to show panic but the ambulance couldn’t come soon enough. He glanced up at his wife. “I think we need to talk to my parents. Somehow, I doubt they had no hand in it. They would have jumped at the chance for a perfect son”

Sunshine tried to bite back the surprised laugh she felt coming up. It failed. She shouldn’t have laughed but oh she did. An emo rocker. It was a great description. But she would be lying if she said that his long silver hair was part of the attraction. The moon to her sun. “Maybe your parents might have clues on why someone would...make you see double,” she mused. There was no secret - Thanks Elsa - that the Lafayette seniors were abusive.’, but she doubted making a replica of their son was their doing.

He smiled as she laughed. “At least my jokes are still funny” he looked down and sighed. “My parents would do a lot of awful things. They locked me in the basement when I was possessed. If they can do that, aiding in making something like...him with black magic wouldn’t be too far fetched. I mean, they didn’t bother helping Weiss, they tried to cut her off black magic cold turkey and locked her in her room. This isn’t that out of left field. I just...have a feeling about this”

"It seems like he's trapped in that timeline," Sunshine mused quietly. She blinked, surprised by her own empowerment. Since when she start becoming an expert on reading people like Shadow? Maybe he had rubbed off on her more than she realized. Before, she would have seen the half-full only. Now, she was getting the full picture. Riku had been open about his childhood trauma with her before, and it was a huge piece of this puzzle. She'd get his mind off of it later with her specialty in spoiling. "Riku, who is this...him you're talking about?"

He gestured at the replica. “Making a copy like this is very black magic. Not even voodoo, it’s the type of bad you see in fairytales. But it’s real and people use it. I’m not going to say “it”, that wouldn’t be fair. No matter how or why for better or worse this guy is alive and deserves to be referred to as a person” he took a deep breath. “Need to name him too, when I can explain he’s not...me” his stomach was doing flip flops and he felt sick. Panicked sick. Thankfully the ambulance showed up then. “Who should ride with him? He might want someone if he wakes up on the way”

So it wasn't voodoo. So much for trying to talk to the in-laws about having any kind of rivals being involved in making a replica. It didn't help that Riku didn't even give a proper description of the possible lead. The person referred to be called 'It'. This wasn't also the replica they were talking about until Sunshine followed his look over to him. "If you stayed with him, he'd have an identity crisis...Jeck, I mean. It's...the only name I thought of." Jeck was the only name she could think of. Like Jekyll and Hyde. Kind of.

He sighed. “The most I can say is the lead...they were as close to “hag” as you could get. A business partner of my parents. This jag probably made him. Scared the hell out of me the few times I saw them. I feel you should not pursue this line. Maybe talk to my mom and I talk to dad. I’m probably going to see if Yang or someone can track the person down. It’s just a hunch. And I don’t want anyone hurt”

Sunshine frowned. 'Hag' could have meant anything. Heck, it could have been Cruella D'Enefer, and given her history for being incredibly disrespectful, Sunshine prayed it wasn't her. But pieces did fit. The lady was rich, she had some dealings going on in affairs that were becoming tricky for the police to trace without a huge demand, and had enough loyal thugs that could take a beat for her. She looked back at Jeck, then to Riku. "I don't like the idea of you putting yourself out there. First Shadow, then Adrien...I'm done letting people I love sacrifice themselves."

The gurney from the ambulance rolled next to them and Riku let them take his other self from him. He looked earnestly at his wife. “I won’t put myself in danger” he promised gently. “I’ll just talk to my parents in jail. But if anyone wants to pursue the lead I’ll tell them to be careful” He took her hand in his. “Sun, you’be been through enough on the losing people front. I don’t want to do that to you” he sighed and looked at the ambulance. “Jeck works for now. If he doesn’t like it, I can give him a name book and let him choose”

Sunshine looked away. It was one thing to go talk to his parents, it was another to be pursuing a lead that could hurt someone. Yang already had a full plate. Maybe the colt brothers could look into it. Or she could call Red or Ralph. It was the only compromise she could think of, without stretching anyone too thin. She gave a shuddering sigh, giving her husband a shaky peck on the lips before walking to the ambulance to ride in the back.
“I’m Detective Rachel Lafayette,” she introduced herself to the medics. “I was one of the cops on site at the scene. We’ve started identifying the person in question as Jeck, no last name given.”

Riku got up and followed behind her. “Sun, you want me to meet you at the hospital later? I should call in back up and get the surrounding area looked at. There might be some clues” he watched her uneasily. “Do you think you’ll be okay?” He took a deep breath and turned to text his sister.
’Weiss, I have a black magic created clone. We are currently calling him Jeck. He was looking for you, but is currently en route to hospital. I’m ok, so is Sun. Be careful. Love you. -Riku’
He then went and called in for backup.
[end?]

Sunshine gave her husband one last worried look. Jeck had stayed calm with her. She didn't want to upset him any more already. With a nervous smile, she squeezed his hand with reassurance. "Call me when you finish what you need to do, okay? I may be at the hospital for a while. All the unanswered questions." With these words, she hopped in the back, sighing as the ambulance drove her, and Jeck, awau [end]
