Chapter 11
Sunni thought that perhaps if she walked more quickly and not look at him, she would forget that scene. So she walked briskly by the road side without looking back.
Lucas was behind her. He wondered why she was walking so fast without any hope of stopping. He too tired to increase his walking pace to see if he would catch up but Sunni seemed to have increased her walking pace.
He had to choice but to walk from behind while wondering why she was walking like that.
Sunni was still walking but he little brain was still dashing to that scene from that morning. She shocked her head to cast it out but it was Still coming! She was doomed!
She was walking so quickly and distractedly that she failed to see the bench before her. She bumped into it with her leg. "Ouch!"
She ended up sitting on it while she tried easing the pain from her leg by massaging it.
Lucas came to stand before her as she slowly looked up to meet his gaze. She blinked as all her efforts went down the drain.The image was back again and she hated herself the more!
"What are you doing?" She questioned forgetting the pain from her leg.
"Are you okey?" He asked "Let me help you" He bent before her bringing out his hand to her leg but she raised both legs on the sit, preventing him from touching her.
"What are you doing? I don't need your help, just stay away" She ordered.
He looked up at her. He didn't seem to be taking orders now.
"How can you disobey me? Do you want to be punished?" She said.
He slowly got up to his feet "Can you still walk?"
She was rather infuriated by the question. Didn't he pay any attended to what h
she said or was this guy Playing dumb after taking advantage of her that morning??
"You shameless thing! How can you still act as if nothing happened?" She questioned.
"What? what happened?" He asked as her face went hot with annoyance.
"How can you..." Did he really take it as nothing?? "You failed to lock up the bathroom and yet roam the bathroom half naked then made me the victim to come in........ This is so embarrassing! how can you still be cool with it??"
His expression wasn't moved as he kept his gaze on her. "What's wrong with that?"
She panicked! What's wrong with that?? What was even wrong with this guy? He takes such thing casually? could he perhaps be a player? Or worse......
She quickly hugged herself in defense" I'm so fed up with you.... Infact today, must find you a house....you can't stay with me anymore before the worse happens" She quickly got up from the bench" Come with me"
" I'm hungry"
Sunni came to an abrupt stop as she turned to face him. Hungry? This eating monster was hungry?This couldn't be a good news. she had to escape.
"You're not eating until we find you a house even if it's the last thing I do"
*************
"I give up" Sunni said
They had spent over three, if not four!, hours strolling almost every renting apartment In town looking for a place to get a house for her weirdo partner but to no avail.It seemed like it was indeed her lucky day or per say, days. Nothing was working out.
Both pathetic looking souls walked by the road side. One looking reluctantly and the other more pathetic.
"You give up?" The question from Lucas made Sunni heartbroken.She couldn't believe she would say that. Just over three hours ago she had taken a bet upon herself to not give up until she found a home to send this guy off, and even said even if it was the last thing she did. But now, she was giving up.
Which was quite understandable because there was no place for rent and the places she found had high esteemed prizes that even a year of her previous salary couldn't afford!
This made her feel lucky because she had a nice friend who let her stay with her. If she was to find a house, she would as well live on the streets.
And again, she had just realized that she didn't have anything to eat that morning. And now it was afternoon, she was starving.
"Can we go and eat?" Lucas asked.
Sunni stopped and looked up at him.Yeah this guy was indeed good looking. With the face embroidered with both handsomeness and naivety. Any girl would fall for him at first sight. But Sunni couldn't tell why she was an exception. Perhaps because this handsome face, she knew had no brain or could be considered dumb!
"You still have the mind to eat" She mumbled thinking of a solution out. She too was hungry but she couldn't take him to eat again! Not after what he did the previous day!
"What are you thinking?" He asked watching her think.
She suddenly smiled "Yeah...we should go and eat...Ice cream"
"Ice cream?" He repeated "What's that?"
She smirked. "Oh you'll find out later"
**********
Dave Lin had gotten the information from the cops about the case of the killing of the drunkard groups of men
He had taken time to carefully go through the informations presented that morning. But he didn't think these information did he much help.
Because certain questions of his remained unanswered and no clue was given. Mostly the backgrounds of the drunkards were presented and this didn't do him much help.
He had questions now, questions he believed slight answers could help him follow up this case.
Questions like was these men actually killed by This Wanted killer and If he did kill them why did he suddenly kill at a time not the night of a comet?
All these burned down to this strange girl in the video clips he couldn't quite see even after watching the clip like literally a hundred times!
It was a pity because he was now 70% that this girl might hold answers. It was likely that the killer of these drunkards, which he presumed to be the wanted killer, was obviously saving this girls from these guys. It was likely they had a relationship or something. She would definitely have the answers he needed.
This made him pick up the file of the testimony given by the lady the men were actually after before this girl had stepped in, making the men run after her.
This lady had said it all but stated that he didn't see the girl who had saved her because it was night. This was another pity. How can this girl escape so luckily without anyone recognizing her and he couldn't help but blame the insufficient CCTV cameras that wasn't in the area. She would have been seen if enough CCTV was around. This would certainly warrant him requesting more CCTV cameras be placed at most sides for capturing of next happenings.
Just as the thought about these things, a knock came on the door "Come in" He permitted as Lara walked in.
"Detective general, Well the lab called, the results are ready. I was thinking of going to get it" Lara said.
"No need" He chipped in" I'll do it"
"Well should I come with you?"
"Also no need. I'll go alone" He stated.
************
The detective van pulled over before a huge Lab as Dave Lin who riding the car got out.
He looked around and then entered the building. After meeting the receptionist, he was lead upstairs to the main lab where their project was being handled as he later arrived there.
The door was widely opened into the huge and well equipped scientific research and experimental lab. But he knocked on the door.
There was a middle aged lady and a not so old man who already had grey hair and was probably in his early seventies. He was in smart glasses.
Both who were in lab coats looked at him.
"Oh...Mr Lin... you're here" The old man looked at the lady signaling her to leave and she did.
Dave Lin approached her. "You should know what I'm here for"
The man smiled and then brought out a file and handed it to Lin. Dave Lin opened it and went through it.
"The test was completed like a few days ago" The man said sitting down on a seat close by. "But since the discovery was rare and strange,I had to re confirm while doing multiple tests....the results was the same.. Strange and extraordinary"
Lin looked up at the man " What are you trying to say? According to this....the killing was not a normal one"
The man nodded" Yes.... Examining the body I discovered that the man was absorbed of his life....maybe soul and his blood went blue"
"How's that possible?"
The man shrugged" If something was clear. It was that this Killing wasn't done by an assassin or so"
Dave Lin closed the book" So summarize it. what are we going against?"
The man smiled again. It was like smiling was a habit of his.
"I'll ask you a question. Do you believe in magic?"
Dave Lin looked at him. "I'm a detective, I should be reasonable. And that's out of the question. It's like asking if I believe in fairly tale"
"I'm also doing my job which requires being reasonable" He shrugged" Well Mr Lin, if I'm to be plain with you...I'll only tell you to brace yourself. For you my friend has got an Alien on the loose "Download Novelah App
