Chapter 31

The night was chilly and calm. It still beared the same scenario of a night where all workers retired home after a longs days work.
Hana had just gotten down from the building when she felt a slight chill pass her. She paused looking around as she hugged herself "Did it suddenly get colder tonight" She wondered as she shrugged and continued her stroll.
Lucas appeared in an empty street with faint street lights. At such time at night, no one dared to stroll such an isolated area making it a perfect place for Lucas.
He looked around as he stretched out his hands waving it towards a particular direction. Then as blue light covered that direction, a human figure also appeared, sitting on the floor and tied up with rope. it was a women.
Slowly and majestically, Lucas walked up to the woman looking at her terrified face under the dim light. He bent down to have a better look at the woman's pathetic face.
The woman looked at her, a part of her face illuminated by the dim street light. It was the woman who had taken the pictures of him on that day.
She mumbled something between her covered mouth as Lucas pulled off the cloth which covered her mouth.
"Let me go..I promise..... I won't try telling anyone.... please..... just let me go " The woman pleaded but Lucas expression didn't seem to change. it was as devious as ever. "Please.. Just let me go ."
Without a word, he slowly stood to his feet as his eyes lit up In red. She could see in through the dark and it was creepy and scary. All she could do was to pray. "Please! let me go! please!" She pleaded even more loudly hoping for a miracle but Lucas simply leaned down to her, gripping her by the neck.
The lady shocked, trying to say words that remained unclear. He had his tight grip around her neck and gripped it tightly.
The vain in his hands lit red and glowing as energy flowed down to the lady's neck. Entering her body .
Her mouth was wide open and so was her eyes as blood slowly gushed out from them. She still shocked lightly as the red lines went from her neck and up to her face which was slowly whitening and cracking with the red lines
Her eyes went pale white as if life was taken from her and her mouth hung open. Her face which was plain white had already given cracks with red lines and so ....No sound came from her anymore. She was gone.
Slowly, he left her neck, standing straight as she fell to the side...Dead.
He looked at the lifeless fellow on the floor and then at his hands. It glowed in red for a while as the color gradually changed blue. it was only a matter of time before he got himself back.
Looking up at the sky, a smirk escaped his lips as a comet passed through the sky...
*********
The news was everywhere that night, Broadcasting on the TV and even radios. Right now it was viral topic that sent shivers of fear down every one's spine.
".....so it has already been confirmed that tonight bears a sudden change in the sky astrology. one that came suddenly and unexpectedly. Like it was changed. And tonight, No one could predict ahead that a comet would be coming and to top it all up. An extraordinary scene of two comets had crashed In the sky. We all know what this means... trouble as the night comet visitor will be arriving. And with the case of an entire family found dead just 10 minutes ago, it can't be helped to say that it was this night comet visitor...."
The news went on trending on most broadcasting sites and devices as people panicked from all angles.
Hana was having her night stroll with her ear plug on and connected to her little radio set. She listened to the news and then suddenly stopped on remembering Sunni.
She hadn't returned this late and there's trouble everywhere. She couldn't help but worry as she got out her phone to call her but it wasn't connecting. She was worried the more.
"Where could she be? Still at work?" Hana wondered as she decided to go look for Sunni at her work place.
*************
"How come you couldn't even trace the coming of the comet this night?" Lara, who stood besides Ryan who was operating his computer, asked.
"There was no sign! This came out of the bloom. Like that Alien guy created it. And it's crazy tonight. The craziest so far!"

"This is too bad" Lara complained. Today wasn't really a work day but they had to meet because of the hot case at hand.
"And where is boss? His phone isn't connecting" Gabe said after giving Dave Lin a flash.
"Without him. What can we possibly do?!" Kelvin stated folding his hands.
"Ryan.. can you still connect to whole CCTV we used the previous time?" Lara asked.
"Uh...let me try" He Said as he tried." Oh ....I don't think so...it was disconnected the previous time to maintain privacy but we didn't know of any comet tonight else we'd have gotten ready"
Lara sighed" This is really bad"
Just then the door was pushed open as Hana walked in. They all looked up at her shocked. The security man was behind her.
"Sorry, I couldn't stop her ...she insisted on reporting an important case" The security man apologized.
"It's okey. Go" Lara permitted as the security man Left.
"You are...?" Lara asked.
"Oh!" Kelvin snapped his fingers with a smile standing up as he approached Hana" you are..... Sunni's friend.... drunk that night at the bar?"
"You are....?" Hana thought "That shameless man at the bar!"
Kelvin was annoyed again. Why does this girl have similar temper with her friend! Tagging him shameless on Their first conversation.
"That's not important. why are you here?" Kelvin had to Change the topic.
"I'm looking for sunni. Isn't she here at work?"
They all paused looking at her.
"what?? you mean she's not home yet, safe?" Kelvin asked, shocked.
"No. Ever since she left for her mission this morning, she never returned, her phone is also not connecting" Hana explained.
"And even Boss" Ryan said "Could both of them be in trouble?"
"No...we have to go and save them... Sunni is in danger" Kelvin said.
"But where do we being looking?" Gabe asked.
"Think of it. They both probably left for the Preservation company. We can start there to look for them" Lara suggested.
"Yeah. That's it, let's go" Kelvin said
"You guys go start from the company. I'll stay here to see what I can find"Ryan said as the four of them too off to look for sunni and Dave Lin.
