         “ I’M COMING ! “   she huffs, tugging her two bags with both hands as she hurries to catch up with jude.  delilah knows she should've left her things at their hotel room to not make it obvious, which is exactly what she did ;   fortunately for her and jude, the two girls that had the unfortunate pleasure to meet them tonight had just arrived in berlin.  she has yet to ransack through the two carry-on suitcases they’ve acquired, but there has to be SOMETHING useful in them -- or at the very least, they just can’t dump them yet.   “ there it is, “   she nods towards the arriving boat, before pressing a kiss to jude’s cheek and quickly walking towards it.   “ they could have nice clothes, “   delilah offers, a skip in her step as they near their getaway car... er, boat. the brunette glances back at the sleeping city of berlin, and she feels a small PANG of sadness for all the friends she’s leaving behind -- maddox, tilly, aria, aspen -- but delilah is confident that they’ll all be okay.  or rather, they’ll be better off without a connection to her.  no, a clean getaway is exactly what she needs...  what THEY need.   “ ready ? “   she asks her girlfriend, reaching for jude’s hand and squeezing it once.  as bittersweet as this is, delilah can feel her heart pumping with adrenaline, ready for what comes next.

TWO GALLAGHER STUDENTS TAKE THEIR LIVES WITH A DEADLY JUMP

Internship comes to an end with two more deaths.

By Nicholas D. Kristoff

River Spree is being searched today after two American students are said to have jumped off Oberbaum Bridge last night.  

Jude Park, 24, and Delilah Jones, 25, are in Berlin for the summer for an internship with their American university, Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Young People. They were both last seen leaving Leonardo Boutique Hotel, where they had stayed for the summer, before calling an Uber to Oberbaum Bridge. 

Park posted on Instagram a photo of the two of them at the bridge at approximately 10:30pm. Their belongings were found in the northern tower of the bridge, causing authorities to believe they had jumped from there. 

UPDATE: Saturday, August 15, 2020 --  Two bodies have been found in Spree and have been identified as Jude Park and Delilah Park. An autopsy issued by the city of Berlin Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled that both girls died from the fall, therefore ruling it a suicide.

Levi had money to spend. So much money he was willing to spend it on someone he disliked and knew disliked him! But as far as he was concerned, he was doing it for himself (he’s getting steak!) and for Scooby, not for Delilah. “It’s not too far, too.” The walk isn’t too far, but it’s cool since they’re walking Scooby as well. “How’s Berlin treating you?”

       SHE SHRUGS AT THE QUESTION,  and delilah wonders why everyone here likes small talk so much.   “ m’kay, “   she  mumbles.   “ you’ve done a lot of traveling, right ?   with my girlfriend ? “   that comes out pointed, though she’s just stating the fact.   “ have you been here before ? “

        “ I HAVE THEM ALREADY, “   she says, and if delilah had any energy she’d get up and grab them from the bottom of her sock drawer, but she feels paralyzed in place.  she can see the toll this is taking on jude and it KILLS her, because she doesn’t like dragging others down into her shit -- she hadn’t even thought about this made her an accessory in potential murder, she just wanted her girlfriend.  delilah leans back as well, letting her head rest against jude’s chest.   “ i don’t want to leave and have to look over our shoulders the entire time, “   she says quietly, because that’s not a life jude park deserves to live.   “ unless i go ALONE--- “   delilah lets the offer linger in the air, though it doesn’t sound particularly flattering to her.   “ i don’t want you to leave everything for me, “   she admits, reaching up to cup her cheek lightly.

        WELL IT’S TECHNICALLY NEITHER OF THEIR PLACES,  but the sentiment makes delilah beam anyway, because she’s certainly not thinking rationally.  it’s funny how her plan had always been to find someone rich to mooch off of, and somehow she found exactly that at gallagher -- except that isn’t even why she’s with jude !   the money is just a very nice added bonus.   “ you’re so prepared, “   she grins at the ridiculous looking lock, because it’s SO jude.   “ how about...  delilah and jude forever ? “

he held his hand out, expecting to feel the cold metal of the lamp post in his hand, but his perception had been altered by the urgency, the pain, the lack of oxygen held in his lungs, or all of the above. as if it weren’t hard enough, the kick in his stomach left him breathless for more than a couple seconds where he couldn’t exactly do much other than to curl up into him, protecting his wounds and himself, though uselessly so. he was a dead man. cecil had managed to escape hubert’s attempts to eliminate him, but he had never been half as good as him, and in that moment it burned him. he could hear cecil’s words of encouragement from their teen days, and they all meant nothing, because he was about to die without giving a proper fight. “how much did he pay?” he asked, hoping there was some mercy in her to at least answer to his very last question.

SHE’S BLEEDING AND SHE’S ANNOYED,  but it’s mostly watching leo struggle to give her a proper fight that is the most annoying about this all.  he managed to slice her, yes, but she’ll be able to return back to her hotel and bandage it up without anyone except perhaps jude noticing, and in the office tomorrow she’ll just keep a sweater on.  but what’s most annoying is his question -- how much did he pay -- making delilah pause for a moment before she could land another kick onto his body.  a gross feeling of... what is that, guilt ?   remorse ?   it’s some kind of human emotion, one she certainly had never felt before gallagher, when she’s looked men right in the eyes while she watched the life drain from theirs.  whatever it is, it doesn’t belong in this moment, and she HATES that she has her thinking twice about it.   “ does it even matter ? “   she asks with a snarl, because there’s NO number that’s worth the life of someone, though delilah will have it in her bank account this time tomorrow anyway.  she knows what she should do, drive her knife into his chest where his heart is, but he already looks to miserable and there’s blood everywhere and it’s only a matter of time until he bleeds out anyway... right ?   besides, now his words have her thinking of him as less of a target and more of a PERSON, which makes her skin crawl in a way she’s only ever associated with istvan.  so she lands one more kick -- this one right to his face, with the intent of knocking him out.

           BLUE EYES SPARKLE WITH MISCHIEF at jude’s words,  and this is what she loves so much about the park girl, the way they can find adventure and excitement in the smallest moments.   “ i would love to see your place, “   she smiles, despite it not being JUDE’S place anymore, it still holds memories for the woman.  but they did talk about a lock bridge first, so delilah nods.   “ lock bridge first. “   her hand might be tugging on jude’s a little harder now as they get closer to the bridge, impatience in each step she takes.

“I take it you’ve traveled a lot then, Delilah?” she asks after downing the rest of her drink and smiling up at the brunette. “Too scrawny? He should be so lucky.”  She tilts her head, trying to find the write words. “Not in the sense that would make me worried about it. More like, they care a lot about him, which is good. But they definitely think he’s hot,” Vida surmises, and that’s really the way the best friendships go, isn’t it?

        “ OH YES, “   DELILAH NODS.   “ for work.  which is why i’m happy to be here now, not working. “   she doesn’t count the internship was work, because it’s not the kind she’s used to.   “ i agree. he’s no... buff boy either. “   emmett certainly isn’t her type, though delilah has a feeling seeing him without a shirt on would be another story.  but she nods along anyway.   “ as if those two gay boys would be able to steal a man away from you, anyway, “   she grins at vida, flashing her a wink. sorry to them, but vida is a whole other caliber of HOT.

“i…hm. i don’t think maddox takes scooby to dog parks.” just normal parks, presumably? part of her doubts maddox even cleans up after his pet. “i’ve never actually seen scooby interact with other dogs, which is odd since there’s so many at gallagher. but he was fine with onyx so i’m sure he’s friendly.” would he miss his new friends when they leave, though? tilly isn’t sure what to say to that so it takes her a moment to respond. “why…? i’d probably never see them again. or, not very often.” because she doesn’t live that far away.

        “ HE’S DEFINITELY FRIENDLY ! “   delilah is quick to agree, even though she’s also never seen him with other dogs.  but he loves people, and even likes a stupid cat, so how bad could it be ?   “ we’re definitely taking him to a doggy park then, he needs friends. everybody needs friends, “   she adds, with a pointed look at tilly.   “ sometimes the best kind of friends are ones you’ll never see again. “   yep, she’s no longer talking about friends.   “ tilly, you’re too beautiful to not put yourself out there !   germans are very hot, you know. “

         SIX HOURS.  delilah feels that time pass by like the beats of a metronome, the sound ticking in her ears.  it’s distracting when she’s trying to think, which is why she’s grateful that jude does most of the thinking for them, as usual.  all she can do is nod faintly in agreement, lips pursing at the question about the passports.   “ yes, “   she says, because she would imagine danny wouldn’t sell her passports she can’t actually USE to go anywhere, though perhaps she should’ve clarified rather than ask him about his daddy issues in paris.  it was too late for that now, though delilah wishes they could go back to the simplicity of paris -- that had been such an easy job, because delilah hadn’t tried to get cocky with her skills.  but there was no use dwelling on it all now.   “ we can’t just leave, “   she shakes her head, because that thought doesn’t quite suit her, either.   “ we won’t get very far, they’ll be looking for me.  for percy. “   because yes, the two girls share the same face.

that one he had expected. he had been taught to always be prepared, carry more than one weapon. except, well, when you were at home and relaxed, just like he mistakenly had been a couple minutes ago. at least he wasn’t helpless anymore with the knife in his hand, and if only he could reach the lamp in the corner of the room, he would have something like a staff– there it was. a plan. he took a deep breath to gather some strength but the sharp pain that moved across his chest as he did could only mean bad news. a punctured lung, anything of the kind. he grunted, looking up at her attacker with darkened eyes, his features obscure like never before right as he threw a fake slash meant to tease, that only leaves him open for her to throw in another stab right to his stomach. he whined, but didn’t let himself falter as he completed his move with an upper slash, hitting her right upper arm, the one in which she held the second blade, hoping she wasn’t as trained as himself– again, misjudging or perhaps wanting to stay optimistic in his own skills as he tried to reach the floor lamp, trying his best not to show his back for too long.

IT HAD BEEN A REALITY CHECK arriving to gallagher two years ago, with so much knowledge and surrounded by students who ALSO shared so much knowledge.  sure, not many of the girls there had ever killed someone before, let alone dozens, but it did provide delilah with a new perspective -- that her and percy weren’t as special as she had originally thought.  of course, she had managed to twist it into a positive, that nobody was more fun to combat with than another gallagher student, because it was almost an even playing field.  so when starts to fight back there’s a smile on delilah’s face, though it’s a distracted one as she dodges one move, only to be hit in her arm, teeth clenching together as the shock ripples down her spine.  she doesn’t let the blade go yet though, because now there’s blood staining her pretty maid uniform and she’ll have to make sure none of it gets anywhere to be traced back to her in the crime scene.   “ don’t be rude, “   she growls to him when he tries to ignore her, ignoring the knife in her hand and instead kicking him right in the stomach, where she had recently plunged a knife into him. then delilah kicks him again, trying to throw him off his balance and onto the ground, so she can finish him off for good.

        “ DO YOU STILL HAVE IT ? “   delilah asks, because if jude has a place in paris she would like to see it for herself.  she can only imagine how GLAMOROUS it must be, just like everything jude seems to touch. her lips curl into a small smirk as she nods and takes a taste of her girlfriend’s cone as well, licking her lips once she pulls away.   “ i like the... chamomile ? “   she guesses, because she thinks that’s what she tastes.   “ but i like mine better, “   delilah adds smugly, before going back to enjoying her own cone, not even bothering to wipe off the ice cream that gets caught on her cheek above her lips.
