chapter 4

The young man was still in his black hoodie but his head wasn't covered.
He strolled the street by the road side as he looked around. He watched humans go about their activities with no expression on his face.
As he strolled he stopped looking up into the sky. The sun was out and hot. He hated that. Back from where he was from, there was no such sun! 
But this was earth...and he had yo bear the sun.
 
It was logically that the only way of escaping the sun's wrath was going under a shelter but looking ahead, there was no suitable shelter around.
He released another frustrated sigh as she strolled through by a bush. He stopped on hearing a 'meow'
 
Looking by his side and close to the bush, he was a black cat rolling on the floor and scratching itself.
For a moment, he had an idea as he fixed his gaze to the little furry beast.
Like he had given it a signal, the cat stopped and looked up at him. Their eyes instantly linked and went blue.
With no one watching he went into the cat possessing it.
Then in the cat, he went into the bushes taking shelter as he scratched himself against a tree. It felt so comfortable!

Sunni was running late!
She didn't find any cab so she had to run through the street until she could get to the nearby bus station which was literally far.
"Why are there no cabs today?!" She questioned rhetorically as she ran by the road side in the street. "Are they on strike?!  Gosh! My damn luck!"
She continued running until she suddenly came to an abrupt stop.
 
She had seen a little kid standing by the road side and crying. she instantly took pity on the little girl as she approached her.
"Hey kid, why are you crying?" She asked.
 
"I lost my cat" The little girl cried.
 
"Awwm...How? "
 
"I came out with it to play but it took off and I never found it" she narrated.
 
Sunni felt a vibe coming. This seemed like a job for detective Sunni!
 
She smiled imagining herself in full detective outfit. Whenever there was a mystery, she would always take the lead!
 
"Don't worry kid....I'll help you find it" she assured
 
"Really?! Thanks" The kid appreciated.
 
Sunni led the kid off to search for the cat as she asked the kids questions that could help find the cat.
 
"Did you feed it this morning?" She asked.
 
"Miss...what does feeding have to do with my cat running off?" The kid asked.
 
"Ha! Don't you know that it might be hungry and run off....we have to be practical here " Sunni said as they moved ahead.
 
"Here kitty kitty kitty kitty!"
 
They called as they moved just then Sunni saw a paw on a muddy area. She stared at it with a smile " I think we're close to solving this mission my friend...let's go!"
 
As they moved, Sunni suddenly received a call from Hana.
 
"Wait kid..gotta answer this " She stopped picking the call "Hello Hana....what's it now..?"
 
As the kid waited, she looked ahead to see her cat scratching itself against a tree. She smiled running to it.
 
"Maomao! " she called out to the kitty.
 
The black kitty turned to look at the approaching kid as it quickly flew into the air and landed on the tree. It was an extreme high jump!!
 
The kid stopped. Jaws dropped and eyes wide open as she looked up at the cat who sat on a branch.
 
It was magic! No a skill! It was certainly impossible and this got the kid shocked.
 
"OK.....bye" Sunni cut the line and ran up to the kid "Have you found it?"
 
Without a word the kid pointed upwards to the kitty.
 
"Ah...I'll help you get it down" Sunni assured as she began going up the tree.
 
After a while she was close to the cat. Thanks heavens she wore her jean trouser else she didn't know what she could have done in this situation.
 
"Here kitty....come to mama" she slowly carried the kitty carefully in a hand and slowly came back down .
 
She handed it to the kid " Here you go, you're welcome " she said as she left.
 
The kid stared at the kitty in her hand, still in shock. she hadn't quite forgotten what happened earlier.
 
The cat turned it's gaze to Sunni who was leaving as the young man inside wondered who she was.
 
As soon as she had touched him  ( through the cat) he had sensed a strong familiar energy...one he had been looking for for years now....
 
Could it be? He wondered. He had to confirm.....
 
·—————.
 
Sunni kept on running until she got to the route. Opposite her was the bus station and only the road was the barrier. She quickly went to wait at the zebra cross for the time to cross.
 
The young man who was in a black hoodie watched her from behind as he slowly followed her. He examined her as be followed her.
 
Then he finally stood behind her where people waited for red light.
 
Just as he was about bringing out his hands to touch her hand. The red light came.
 
People began crossing,including Sunni .
 
The young man not understanding what was going on watched them cross especially Sunni.
 
After a while she had gotten to the bus stop and turned to his direction , he decided to cross to, eager to get to her and ignorant of tragic lights.
 
The light had turned green and vehicles had resumed.
 
He had entered the road and now was  in the middle of the road when a car approached him.
 
He wasn't looking side ways but his gaze fixed on Sunni who was looking around for the bus to arrived.
 
Sunni's attention fell on the boy on the road and the approaching car! All she could think of was saving him as she quickly dashed into the road.
 
The young man was shocked to see her as she ran up to him, grabbed his hands and led him off the road. As they moved his heart slowly raced as the tall man looked down on the petit girl pulling him away.... He could only confirm to himself....
 
"I finally found it "
