Witness

"I'll be back soon. Wait for me, hmm?" Arik bid me farewell after I shared with him what I had heard from Hannah.

"Is there no one at your place? Where is she? Where's your Dad?" I asked with confusion.

Was she alone at home? She seemed so terrified, and I couldn't tell if it was true or one of her hallucinations.

Is this what he was telling me? Does Hannah experience hallucinations sometimes?

"Arik," I called out to him again when he didn't respond.

He seemed agitated, lost in deep thought. I approached him and tried to calm him down.

"Calm down, please. I won't let you leave acting like this. Something might happen to you on the way."

He slumped onto our bed, cursing repeatedly.

"Damn it. I knew it. Right from the start, I knew he had something to do with Mom's disappearance. Both of them." He said vehemently, as if full of threats.

Looking at him, his eyes were filled with danger. He's furious! And I know that when he leaves, his anger will escalate and something bad might happen.
