Jacob, what is going on? Didn't I specifically say that you let me do the talking." Jacob sighed, looking the other way, until I took my hand and turned Jacob's face towards me. "I'm sorry, they forced me again." I sighed, just figuring out what to expect next, and Jacob swallowed hard.
"Did you kill her?" I asked, I looked at Jacob seriously.
Jacob sighed, "No," Jacob said, softly.
I just sat there in my seat continuing to look at Jacob. "You do know that you're gonna have to stop lying, they're gonna keep you here all night questioning you, until you tell them what happened." Jacob asked me if I didn't believe him, I sighed, stroking my hair out of my face.
"Please believe me, you know I wouldn't lay a single hand on anyone," Jacob said, begging. I sighed, "Then why do they arrest you?
*****
Jacob, she was murdered in cold blood, they arrested you for a reason, and I am thinking you have something to do with Izz's death," I said in frustration. Jacob swallowed before sighing. Jacob was interrupted by the detectives who came back in and sat down in their seats.

"Jacob, let me reverse a little, when you texted David and threatened him, was it before or after you found out your girlfriend was pregnant?" Jacob sighed, he was getting even more frustrated and upset.
"It was afterwards," Jacob answered back. "And David is your best friend, correct?" Jacob shook his head, "Yes." I sighed, wiping my eyes and face in frustration mode. Detective James just looked at me like he knew that we have been through a lot of bad stuff. He could tell I was worried about my own brother.

"How long have you and David have been friends?" Detective Evan asked. Jacob sighed, "I met David in ninth grade, so about four years." Detective James asked if David ever wanted to hurt anyone, possibly? "Did David ever had any problems with Izza?"
Jacob sighed, "I remember when he first met Izza, he kind of felt like I was using him over her." Detective James quickly asked, "Oh yeah, how so?" Jacob sighed once again, "I just knew that he was kind of jealous of Izza. Like he agreed for me to ask her to be my girlfriend, but then things started to settle down, like he started to like Izza," Jacob sighed, I made myself comfortable again in my own chair. I was confused.
I either was confused, or then I just had a flashback of what Jacob was implying about the fact that David starts to like Izza after he gets jealous of her. But jealousy is a sinful behavior, I guess the Holy Spirit got to David when he felt jealous. I remember being that way in high school.
*****
I was a teenager like David, being jealous of my best friend's girlfriend. Her name was Sophie River, the most popular girl in the school, dating my best friend, Taylor Matthews. Until I didn't know why I was jealous of Sophie. I was jealous of a girl who was dating my best friend. I sighed, and Jacob was still being interviewed.
"Jacob?"
"Yes?"
Defective James just looks at Jacob suspiciously and Jacob sighed, I could tell he was lying. "What? You think I am making all of this up? I know what I am saying, and I am not lying. I am explaining to you Detective James if you could just look up at me please and don't look at me like I am some kind of person who would just like to lie." I sighed, closing my eyes. I turned my head, opening my eyes once again.

"Heh," Jacob said, heheing. "Jacob," I said. I turned my head facing him once again. Jacob all of a sudden had a change in behavior. "Okay, well, Jacob, why did you think David started to like your girlfriend? He didn't pretend, did he? " Jacob shrugged, Jacob heheing once again, but softly chuckled at once. "I don't know, I guess the Holy Spirit just got to him. So he eventually stopped being jealous, at least that's what he told me."

The Apocalypse Show - Dungeon Core
There were lot's of ways that people had predicted that the world would end. A few even had it partially correct. But how could they have predicted it would be a combination of the system apocalypse and aliens. Specifially aliens that wanted to create the equivlant of a TV show about the system apocalypse on Earth. Arthur woke up with a headache and the option to create a character. Most people would have gone with the safe choice and selected to stay a human. Arthur suspected that wouldn't be the safe choice in his new world. Instead he decided to see what other races were available. Eventually he decided to become a dungeon core instead. Of course being a dungeon core comes with a number of challenges. Starting with the fact that he was a giant crystal instead of having a body, managing a bunch of unintelligent minons, and most importantly the reaction of his human neighbors when they discover him. If he can overcome these challenges he may be able to enjoy some of the benefits. Such as the fact that dungeon cores are immortal and he would eventually have an entire army of dungeon minions that would obey any of his commands. Perhaps even find some female companions that are looking for a safe place during the apocalypse. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, nudity, and sexual content. This isn't something you would find in the young adult section. This does not mean that this would be rated NC-17 or X, if that is what you are looking for try lewd dungeon.
