Here's Johnny!

[Davdo Jongran]

He grinned sadisticly as he started at the Zandra Fenni's ship. His dagger and slugthrower were both in their holsters and black binoculars were up against his eyes. He slowly moved the binoculars back in fourth, searching for her. He felt like he had to find her...find her and kill her. "Come on, I am waiting for you. I need more skin for my collection!" He said, laughing like a maniac. He licked his lips and slowly stood up, looking over the edge of the building. "Come...on...out, honey!" He chuckled, waiting for this lady that he had such a sadistic and insane obession with.

[Zandra Tal'verda]

Zandra was not coming out. Not a chance. Every time she tried to go out, there was that guy just... standing there. Watching. She'd called the local law enforcement droids, but none ever showed up. Not a surprise in the slums. She'd tried to peak out her ships small viewports to get a good look at him, but nothing. She could never see him clearly. Just a shadow down an alley that would occasionally move.
Why her? Had she seen him before? Maybe the people at Nameless knew him? Maybe she'd ran into him at Nameless?
She wanted to just go to Calico's apartment, wanted to just hide out there. Get away. Safe. But she couldn't. No matter when she looked, when she tried to step outside, he was there. Watching.

She thought about sending a message to Calico. Thought about telling him how much it was seriously freaking her out and ticking her off. But he had enough to worry about. He was busy trying not to die in a war. And she was busy trying not to miscarry his kid before she could tell him about it.

But the longer she spent inside her ship, the more reckless she was feeling. And the more she wanted nothing more than to just give Calico a call. Just to say she was alright.

"Cal. If you get this, I'm just checkin' in," the figure of the Echani looked more nervous than she meant to feel. She was normally so good at playing brave. So good at being calm. Today was just a bad day.
"Hope you're still in one piece. Been spendin' alot of times indoors. Tryin' ta get Zax back up in the air, but he's a stubborn beast. Not lookin' very likely. I need to go out, get supplies but... there's this guy that's been outside my ship for days. He just keeps watching the ship. He only likes to move when I try to go outside. It's like he's just waitin' for me.
I ain't scared or nothin', but ya gotta admit it's a little bizarre. A-anyway. Don' worry. I'm sure he's just a secret admirer or somethin'. Message me when you get this."

[Davdo Jongran]

He sighed before slowly setting the binoculars down. "Honey, come out and play! I brought toys!" He said to himself, before laughing. He crouched down and watched the ship, waiting. "Come on, everyone else came out and I just want to skin one more but...NO! NO! NO!" He ranted to himself for a few minutes before he finally picked up the binoculars, once again. He scanned the area just trying to find one little entrance to the ship. He wanted to kill her, he wanted to kill her now.
He had just escaped prison and made a promise to himself to kill at least ten people before be arrested once again. This lady was on his list but she seemed to be smarter, the others just walked out into his trap. "Get out here, honey!" He thought to himself. He scanned the area once again with the binoculars but he couldn't wait...he waited too long! "Should I talk to her? S-should I wait? N-no! I-I-I can't wait!" He truly sounded like a madman as he just mumbled to himself on the rooftop.
He slowly tucked his binoculars into his trenchcoat and quickly slid down a pipe on the side of the building. When he reached the bottom, he slowly crawled over to the small and almost collapsed building and entered. He went to the second floor and layed down, hoping that she had thought that he had left.

The battle of Drunkenwell had been costly, but successful. Things with the clan were slowly patching back up, and Calico found himself busier every day. The reparations being made to the planet were as costly as the battle itself, and directing that movement was tiresome. Not to mention the death of his closest brother at his own hand that decided the battle in itself.

For the moment, he had made his way back to Coruscant. He was careful to avoid detection by the Sith when landing, and spent the time there discussing with militants ways to remove them from control. He had wished to call Zandra, an aching desire to hear the woman's voice for whatever reason, but time simply hadn't allowed it. Things were too chaotic, too crazy, and the possibility of the rebels being found out from his transmissions was too likely.

Yet, he still read the messages she sent. This last one however, was quite disturbing. His face paled in the faint light of the datapad, and his lips pressed into an uncomfortable frown. A long well thought out reply would give away his position indefinitely. No, this required efficiency. He linked into a public service holoterminal at a nearby tapcaf, traced her number, and sent an anonymous message back.

"I'm coming." --Cal

It was short and brief, and undetectable because of this. Hopefully, she would understand it was from him.

[Davdo Jongran]

Anybody that watched the Coruscant news would recognize him almost instantly. Davdo was, as the news called him, the butcher of Coruscant. Most people would contact the police if they saw him but no one in the slums had a clear view of him. His name was all over the Coruscant news about how he had escaped prison and whatever. That was the thing though, Davdo did not care but he did care about this woman. He had a strange obession with her, perhaps her skin was better than the others? Davdo was skinning his victims like animals after all. Davdo continued to stay down, watching and watching, still hoping that [member="Zandra Fenni"] thought that he retreated. He was planning to kill her and anyone that came near him. After all, that is why he brought both his slugthrower and dagger. He did not have the patience to wait but he some how managed to keep himself down. He was completly fine with going to prison again but what he wanted was the skins of ten victims. If this did not happen, he probably would not be able to live with himself! He would be a complete failure, he had too do this. He slowly zoomed in with the binoculars, where was she?

 

[Zandra Tal'verda]

By the time the message reached her, Zandra was shrugging on her leather jacket and peaking out the viewport once again. She had half a mind to march right out there and tell him off for being such a creep. But he was gone. She looked around, checked the other shadows, checked the top of the building... She couldn't see him anywhere.
Something beeped back in her 'bedroom', and she retreated back there to check the message.

It was short and sweet. And it made a chill run down her spine. If Cal was worried enough to risk showing up, he must think it more serious than she did.

[Davdo Jongran]

Davdo couldn't wait, he felt such an urge to kill her. He slowly walked down the stairs and up to the entrance of the ship. He knocked gently before clearing his throat. "Ok, when she opens the door...I BLAST HER!" He thought to himself. "H-h-hello? A-a-anybody in there?" He asked in a gentle tone.
[member="Zandra Fenni"]

 

[Zandra Tal'verda]

Zandra jumped as the knock on the door came. She whirled around. There was a voice. Gentle, soft. Not Calico. She stood up, moving from bed room back to the den, hand falling over her blaster to pick it up.

"Nobody home for you," she answered, "Now, you just get a move on. I already called a police droid. They'll be here soon. "

Cal said he'd be here. Cal said he'd come. She just needed to distract him. Needed to keep him occupied until then. Cal was a soldier. Cal could take of him no problem. But Zandra just wasn't certain what was on the other side of her door. Her ships scanners were down. The only thing that really worked was the interior power.

[Davdo Jongran]

"M-Ma'am! P-p-please, I-I did nothing! J-j-just talk to me face to face", He said, fearing that he will be arrested before he could get his tenth victim. "Come on, honey! You already know me...you know, my names...uh...Johnny! Y-yeah, here's Johnny! That's it", He said in a strange tone that only a madman could pull off. "Just open the d-door, Johnny wants inside!" Davdo shouted. He continued to knock on the door before he bashed his forehead off of the ship entrance. "OPEN THE DOOR, JOHNNY WANTS INSIDE!" He shouted.

The ride to Zandra's ship had taken quite some time. Things often did when you were trying to conceal a helmet under your coat. The soldier found his way a few paces away from the ship. His helmet had been slipped on over his head, though the rest of his clothing was normal. The HUD would be helpful if what he suspected was true.

He made his way toward the ship, and tilted his head to the right in confusion at the man banging on the door. He was too far away for Calico to hear, but the soldier caught a whiff of danger in the air. Something was wrong. He slipped his hand into his coat and wrapped his fingers around his old DC-15 sidearm. The other rose up to open the comm to Zandra.

"That a friend of yours outside?"

[member="Davdo Jongran"] [member="Zandra Fenni"]

 

[Zandra Tal'verda]

Zandra stepped away from the door as the pounding intensified. He couldn't get in. No. That was durasteel. There was no way. But even so, the way he screamed and pounded was too freaky. Desperate. He was absolutely crazy. That was the worst. You never knew what the crazy ones would do.

"Cal. He ain't goin' away," she replied, "It's... to honest, he's freaking me out! Are you almost here?"

[member="Davdo Jongran"], [member="Calico Tal'verda"]

 

[Davdo Jongran]

"Honey, open...the...door! I want you! Do you hear me, come on! OPEN...THE...DOORS!" He shouted. He punched the door reapedetly like a boxer and shouted. "HONEY, I WANT YOU! OPEN THE DOORS, OPEN THEM NOW!" He shouted. He kicked the door shouting gibberish before he bashed his head off the door, once more. "I'll get you some day, honey. Someday, you'll be out of food, out of supplies! You'll be lonely and as soon as you leave...I'll be waiting, my darling", He said, laughing. "Don't you like me, I thought everyone liked me? Everyone in Nova prison liked me!" He said, anger in his voice. "Darling, I ain't a patient man...not...one...bit!" He said, kicking the door again. "HERE'S JOHNNY!" He shouted, kicking the door seven times. "OPEN UP, I WANT TO SEE YOU!" He screamed as if he was being murdered. "Honey, please I am begging you, open the door, please!" He said, chuckling lightly.

[Revenchent]

Calico nodded to himself. This little act proved all that he needed to know. The soldier approached slowly from behind; eyeing the man over. He didn't know if he had been seen or not, and he didn't much care. The DC-15 found its way into his hands, and the trademark click of the safety being turned off could be heard from quite a distance.

The helmeted man brought the sidearm to level on the intruder's back. Better to aim for center mass. He stood a few paces away, and made a loud coughing noise. "I'm afraid you've picked the wrong ship to break into, di'kut."

"When the guards at Nova told me I'd have an execution, I was hoping for at least one-thousand people to watch me fry!" He said joyfully, sounding like a madman. "You see, I am not trying to break into this ship, I simply want to skin my darling who is inside!" He said sounding as if this kind of conversation was completly normal. "MAN, WE NEED TO CALL UP EVERYBODY! I CAN SEE IT NOW, THE CORUSCANT BUTCHER DEAD ON THE NEWS!" He laughed once more and slowly put his hands up. "Mister, is there a problem? I really need to kill her, I've been waiting for seven days", He said. He then knocked on the door once again. "DARLING, JUST LET ME KILL YOU IT'LL BE A BLAST! WHO KNOWS, THEY EVEN MIGHT PUT MY EXECUTION ON THE CORUSCANT NEWS, THIS IS SO EXITING!" He said, turning around, smiling at [member="Calico Tal'verda"].

 

[Zandra Tal'verda]

Zandra clicked the safety off of her blaster. Her other hand was over the switch for the door. She was going to take care of this herself if she had to. Cal didn't answer her. She had no way of knowing if Cal had this nutcase under control. But she knew he was outside. She could hear him, just under the mad mans babble. She backed herself against the wall, stood on the tips of her black booted toes, and readied herself to spring. Cal needed to just distract him. Just a little.
She was not going to wait for police droids anymore. She'd called more times than she could count. Now she was just going to have to shoot him in the back the moment she opened the door. Once Calico had his full attention.

"I'm afraid that's my darling, and she would make a terrible coat." Calico called back at the insane man.

He leveled the sidearm on the man's midriff, took two steps forward, and cracked a dangerous grin. "We're in the under level bud. I waste you, and no one hears about it. I'll toss your body over the edge. Your title and your legacy won't mean a thing." His head tilted back for a moment, and his gaze slipped up to the door. He was watching for Zandra.

"You've karked up, and I really doubt you've murdered that many people...shame, if you're so impressive." Calico continued to taunt the man. If he charged, then the General had an excuse to shoot him. Self defense charges were lovely.

"Well, at least I'll go out as a legend...I mean, the criminal that never got caught! Just disappeared, that'll make me famous alright. Yes, this is getting better and better! This...is...great, I am so excited!" He said, he was not even affected by [member="Calico Tal'verda"]'s threats. "You know, you would also make a great coat but no, females are always better", He said happily. "What do you mean by "I bet you haven't even killed that many people" Have you not watched the Coruscant news?" He asked curiously.
[member="Zandra Fenni"]

 

[Zandra Tal'verda]

She was waiting for it. She heard cal. Heard his defend her. It might have made any other girl swoon, but not Zandra. It just made her blush with rage. Being stuck inside, afraid to go out because of some psychopath...

That ended here.

While the insane man was talking, she hit the switch, the door sliding wide open. Wordlessly, she held the blaster out and fired just one shot. There was no hesitation, no warning given.

Cal was right. This was the underlevels. Nobody would notice. Nobody would care. And she had every right to defend herself, especially now that she knew who her stalker was. Cal hadn't been here long, but Zandra knew. She heard the rumors, saw the news alerts.
The Coruscant Butcher was at her door, and she was not going to be added to his list of victims tonight.

"GAH!" He let out a wretched scream as he hit the ground, hole in his back. He hacked up some blood before looking up to [member="Zandra Fenni"]. He was gritting his teeth in pain and was obviously seriously injured. "H-honey, d-don't kill me! Come on, don't do it!" He said, before uncontrolaby laughing like a maniac. "Come on, you and your husband here can watch my execution! I'll let you have front row seats, I mean I'll enjoy the company!" He said, still gritting his teeth. "Darling, p-please don't k-kill me!" He said before chuckling again.

[Zandra Tal'verda]

Zandra's face was set in a cold glare as she stepped up to her stalker, moaning and thrashing about on her landing ramp. She stared down at him, blaster still aimed at him.

"I ain't yer Honey," she hissed, "I ain't your Darlin'. And he-" she tilted her head at Calico, "ain't my husband."

With those words, she moved to land a swift kick to his stomach. Over. And over. She wanted to kick him until he stopped moving. Until his skin fell away, just like all those other girls.
