"There's no time to regret now." Elmo said expressionless. " We're just going to waste time here if we keep on exchanging words. Which other place have we not checked?" He asked, no one in particular so anyone could answer the question."Uh, there's a doorway at this place. Let's go there and see where it leads us. What do you think?" Chase's eyes were directed at a narrow doorway."Alright, let's go there." Elmo replied and they all walked to the door.On getting to the door, they opened it and cautiously walked down the stairs. Without knowing their exact destination, they only used their senses to keep walking to wherever it stops them.Just then, Elmo stopped suddenly making everyone else who were at his back to also stop. "What's it?" Allan asked, with a puzzled look as to why Elmo stopped when they hadn't reached the end."Check there." Elmo only pointed in a direction without answering.When Allan and the rest looked at where Elmo pointed out, they immediately understood why h
This time, Murray wasn't the one that talked instead it was Kirby.He explained everything to Elmo. Starting from how they all fought with the zone of death to when they were locked hostage.When Kirby was explaining, Elmo abruptly asked. "You guys surrender because you noticed our men getting killed?" He didn't seem to get Kirby's explanation well enough so he wanted him to explain better."Yes we did. When we followed Murray to this place, we were outside hiding to see any suspicious activity, however an hour after Murray had gone inside, we became anxious and worried thinking our plan had backfired. Just so we could know what's happening inside, I and Stuart entered while instructing the men not to follow as we don't know the dangerous thing inside." He paused to take in everyone's listening expression before continuing."When I and Stuart got inside, we had already discovered that the blood of death didn't buy Murray words and was about to kill him so because of that we all got in
The old master didn't feel insulted by the words of old Aella, instead he was deeply moved. He knew whenever old Aella was anxious or worried about him she would always shout at him so it pleased him seeing that she was doing the same for his child and grandson."I'm sorry." He managed to say."Sorry isn't enough. The main thing we should be thinking about is if they're safe. If anyone outside should hear what happened, they would almost curse you to death for sending your grandson even after knowing that your son is already in danger." "Elmo had already told him he would return back and not just alone but also with Allan and our men." He tried to assure the old Aella, however his whole mind wasn't at rest for a little bit.If he knew this was how he's going to feel now, he would have ever in the first place sent Elmo like the old Aella had said. At that time when Elmo said he wanted to go, he didn't know why his words assure him of returning victoriously, but now everything seems to
Despite the confusion on Elmo's face, he still picked the call. However he didn't say anything, instead he waited for the other person on the call to speak.After a few seconds of total silence, the other person on the call spoke. "Hello.""Who's this?" Elmo didn't respond to the person's greetings, as he felt he didn't know who it's."It's Ariana. I'm actually free tomorrow so would you mind us having the coffee tomorrow?" She asked, calmly.Ever since that incident at the mall, she had been uneasy as it felt wrong to her not thanking the man who helped her.Elmo became silent for a while, before responding. "Alright. Let's meet tomorrow." Just as he was about hanging up, her loud voice spoke."Wait, wait, before you hang up, I'd like you to know that I would be sending you the location of where to meet through a message. Is that okay?"" Um." After that, he hung up without waiting if there would be anything else Ariana wanted to say.After the call got disconnected, the car became
The next morning, Elmo had just woken up when he saw a message from his phone. It was a message from Ariana about where to meet and the time.Just after taking his bath, he went downstairs only to see Stuart standing.With a puzzle, he questioned. "Why are you here this early morning?" He didn't ask Stuart to come over this early so he was wonderingly why he had come without any notice."And had it been long since you arrived or just now, because you should have informed me of your arrival instead of waiting."Stuart only smiled and spoke respectfully. "No, young master. I just arrived not too long ago so before I could inform you of my arrival you already came down." He said.However, what he said was only a lie. He had been waiting here for the past hour but he doesn't want to bother his master from his sleep since he knows how stressful the last few days have been. If he hadn't done that, he was sure Elmo would have woken up without wanting to sleep.Elmo furrowed his eyes deeply.
Getting outside, he entered his car and drove out to the road. With a remembrance of the location they were to meet, Elmo's eyes stayed glued to the road as he drove to the open and living place of the city. Just when he got the place, Elmo carefully parked his blue sports car in front of the quaint coffee shop. The small bells above the door jingled as he stepped out, his furry, blue exterior catching the attention of passersby. Elmo was completely calm as he looked at the coffee shop which was filled with customers.He adjusted his outfits, smoothed down his soft fur, and walked into the cozy coffee shop. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the soft hum of conversations filled the air. Elmo slowly scanned the room for a sign of Ariana. It took him a while to look around the customers and soon he spotted the lady he was meeting, sitting at a corner table near a sunlit window. She had a warm smile on her face.As Elmo approached, he walked in a composed manner. After getting to
Elmo could instantly see the look as Ariana didn't conceal it. He wondered if he did the wrong thing by asking her about that day's event.He glanced at her for a while, before speaking. "Uh, you don't need to say anything. It was just a casual question. Just take it as though I wasn't expecting a reply from you." He quickly muttered, while glancing at her.And after that, their surroundings became silent.Ariana didn't reply, but he already took her silence as not wanting to talk about the matter again.Although previously, Elmo only asked this question due to the dull expression on Ariana's face, but now that he noticed her drastic gloomy look after asking the question, Elmo had an immense urge for wanting to know why she was drunk at a time and place like that.He slowly drank his coffee not without continuously glancing at Ariana with a perplexed mind.Ariana, whose eyes have been on her coffee and her mouth has been sealed, finally spoke. "Ehm, actually I only got drunk that day
Ariana only laughed to lighten the mood. "Humm, maybe yes, maybe no."Elmo looked at her like an insane person. Why was she laughing? *Did he say anything funny?*"Do you understand what I said?" He finally asked, as he failed to understand Ariana's laughter. It baffles him seeing that she wasn't connecting his words about her sister.Ariana laughed once again, with a small smile. "I don't think I want to understand what you say?" Honestly, Ariana clearly understood all what Elmo was pinning at. She wasn't a fool or a child not to figure that he was tagging her sister to be uncaring towards, however her will was quite bent on not believing what Elmo thinks or says about her sister."Cough cough. Since you say so then I won't try to make you understand." Even though Ariana didn't say much, Elmo still reckoned out her underlying words."Yes." Ariana nodded heavily, and after a while, she asked. "Should I continue from where I stopped?" She was talking about the part where her sister ha
