A Greater Poison chapter 2

Here's the next chapter as promsed.This times it won't be mainly a repeat. It'll be an original that I just typed out. I hope you like it. Oh, and if I can find pics of the characters the I'll put it on the last chaper. Not this one though. Once the story is done, you can see if your imagination matched the people. I think I'm going to use anime pics though. Some of the pics of real people are NOT the best. Recap: We left off where Josh and Percy have been attacked and Percy's on his way to the hopsital and Josh just picked up the needle filled with polonuim. Okay! It the story...begin!

Chapter 2: Steely Welcome
Josh was jolted out of his thoughts by an officer. "Excuse me, Mr.Weathers. I could take that for you and analyze it." Josh nodded his thanks though he was pretty sure what was in it already. "Don't need to dust it for fingerprints. The man was wearing gloves. There won't be any fingerprints there." the officer mumbled mainly to himself. Josh shook his head. "Dust it anyway. Just to be sure you didn't miss any evidence." The officer nodded his agreement before walking away. Josh talked to the docters on the scene. After getting the name of the hospital, he sped down the highway praying the entire time. "Please Lord. Please let the dagger be a normal dagger. Please don't let it be coated in polonuim. Please Father. Percy just got saved a few days ago. He has so much to learn. He-" Josh stopped short. "I can't believe how selfish I sound. Percy would be better off in heaven. Oh, Lord forgive your selfish servant."  Josh finally reached Percy's room in the hospital. Since the docters were still applying the stiches, he had to wait for a while. When waiting, he received a call from his collegue, George Biggit. "Hey, Josh. Listen. I know you want to stay here and make sure Percy's well, but we need you to go to the Steels's house just outside of Manhattan. Everyone else is busy working on something else and besides you're one of the best guys we've got. This is a serious murder you're doing. Get it done ASAP. Percy'll will come to you when he's done recuperating. You've got to get to the Steels' mansion by tomorrow morning. Alright? See ya." Josh sighed. Praying that God would heal Percy ro give him a relatively painless death, he walked out of the building.
The next morning, Josh drives quickly down the highway. Turning onto the Steels's driveway, he couldn't hold back a whistle of shock. He'd seen mansions in his lifetime but this one beat them all. Four stories, huge fountain out front, and from where he was parked, he saw the tennis courts in the backyard along with a golf course and a mini golf course. "These people know how to spend." he mumbled running his hand through his brown hair as he walked to the huge oak double doors. After ringing the doorbell, a muscular doorman opened the door. "You must be Mr. Weathers. Come in. We've been expecting you." Josh was realively tall for his age, 6 foot 2 inches. But compared to the doorman who was probably close to seven feet at least, he felt tiny. "Mr. and Mrs. Steel, the detectve has arrived." the man said pushing open an equisit door. Mrs. Steel and Mr. Steel were two, grayish brown-haired, friendly looking people. They both smiled as he came in. "Hello, Detective Weathers. I hope you can help us with our son's murder. I'm not comfortable with a murder loose on the streets." Mr. Steels said. Mrs. Steel bit back a sob. "Poor Chris. Thank goodness he's with God now." Josh smile widened at the words. "I agree. I have a friend in the hospital that I'm praying for too. God is there." Mrs. Steel smiled widely. "Thank you. The Lord has sent me a kindred spirit in my grief." Just then, a snort came from a shaded corner of the room. A girl about his age sat in a designer chair frowning. "Great, another Christ wannabe. They said that you're one of the best. I don't see how a idealist Christian is going to solve anything." she said flipping her blond hair over her shoulder. "Amy! That was uncalled for! Detective Weathers is here to help us! He's been attacked once already!" Mrs. Steel exclaimed. Mr. Steel sighed. "Please forgive my daughter. She is very much against our beliefs." Amy mumbled something that Josh decided not to make her repeat. A young man with brown hair walked into the room. His pleasent smile was a great change from Amy's scowling face. "And who might you be?" Josh asked. "I'm Kyle. I'm Amy's younger brother and Chris's twin." Josh felt symphathy for him. He would never know how hard it was to lose a twin. "Well, I'm just going to look around the house and ask some questions if you don't mind." Mr. Steel nodded quickly. "Of course! Do whatever you need. I just want my son's killer behind bars." Josh nodded and walked out. He felt Amy's hard gaze drilling holes into the back of his head. "Steel," he thought. "I see her last name fits her well. Lord work in her life." As he climbed the stairs, he didn't hear the door open and see someone leave and creep behind him.
