"Sure thing - so we just have to wait for the issue to resolve itself." "Yes, we wait. Besides, this is an involuntarily promotion. So it works in our favor." - I ended the call after a few minutes of briefing Bennett on what to do." Thanks!!" - I returned Richard's phone, expressing my gratitude politely."You're welcome!!" - He flashed a bright smile, his eyes squinting as his dimples deepened. "So where are you going to stay for the night. It doesn't look like those guys are about to leave anytime soon." He drew my attention back to current homeless situation, i stared outside - it was dark outside, with the absence of the moon and stars. Like the entire world was just an orb hidden under a large dark cloak with the street lamps being the only source of light."Guess i haven't figured that out yet." - I sighed briefly, as i tugged at my blood stained coat. Not until now had i realized how actually comfortable it was to have a home to return to - although it wasn't tastefully fu
He parked right outside my house. My gaze turned gloomy - a herd of reporters had already camped around my house, with tents thereby obstructing any means of accessing the home through the front door. "What's going on?" - Richard sat still, breaking the thin veil of silence that had been cloaking us both during the one hour drive back home. "I don't know." - I answered numbly. I would have loved to step out and figure out a thing or two - but my present condition didn't quite favor that disposition. "Do you have your phone with you, perhaps?" He stared at me, his green eyes boring into mine as he searched his pockets before retrieving his phone from it's depths. "Here, you can have it." I took the phone, staring as the dimly lit screen came alive. "It's locked. Please input your password." "It's your birthday." - He exhaled deeply. "What?" - I couldn't deny the fact that i was confused and hadn't heard him clearly the previous time. "The password is the day of your birth. Yo
I placed my hands on his cold body, feeling bewildered at the sudden turn of events - Although it was anticipated. A dark figure moved and I caught on to this unfamiliar person's shadow. "Wait!!" - I called out. Torn between chasing the murderer or staying with the already dead victim. I analysed the situation - even if i chased after that figure, it wasn't entirely guaranteed that I'll be able to catch up to the person. Seeing that whosoever that was already had a five minute advantage and had already covered a large distance during that time frame.I exhaled, calming my tensed muscles while I tried figuring out my next course of action. I moved my hands around the deceased body, searching for his phone so that i could be able to alert the police. Cold sweat poured down from my skin, blurring my vision as my hands trembled with the blood stained phone. I wiped his fingers with the hem of my coat and then used his fingerprints to unlock the smart mobile. .........................
I sat on a chair in a coffee shop, staring at the scenery outside. It was unusually gloomy, with the clouds covering up the bright rays of the sun. At least, no one was roasting to death - often times the temperature rose too high, it was practically unbearable. "Here are the keys to the car, it's parked right outside." - Rachel slipped a small bunch of keys on the desk as she took a big sip from her mocha latte. "Hmm-". A quiet sigh escaped my lips in response as i slipped the car keys into the pocket of my white coat. "So what do you intend to do now?" - She clasped her manicured fingers together, her eyes lingered on my face. "Plan B." She froze, her expression turning serious. "They caught on, didn't they?." "Guess they did." - I shrugged my shoulders, bringing the warm cup of black coffee close to my lips. "Note down the construction site of that truck driver. I need to pay him a much awaited visit." - I slipped a small folded white napkin over to her. "Okay." - She brou
I resumed on set the next day, dressed up in an all black outfit and a black cap. Bennett trailed beside me, reading my itinerary for the day out loud. I walked into my designated closet, picking out the costume for the day. "And that is all that's left." - Bennett dropped the tablet on the desk gently, her hands which had been flying over the screen, settling down by her side. " Hmm- I understand. Thanks."" Ma'am - about the dress, yesterday.......? "- She fiddled with her fingers, her eyes looked extremely nervous as she tried balancing the huge frame of her glasses. " Ah~. The director hasn't said anything as of late, probably I'll ask him when i see him."- I excused myself as i walked out of the locker room, leaving Bennett behind. The set was busy - with crew members running around with props and stunt doubles practicing their moves. Other cast actors paced around, reciting their lines out loud - it was very chaotic. " Selene!!" - I glanced over my shoulders, the director'
I hastened my footsteps, thoughts in disarray as i bumped my head against something hard and sturdy. "I'm sorry, I really wasn't looking -" "Selene.......?!" - I raised my eyes, that incredibly familiar voice ringing in my ears, my gaze meeting his broad shouldered figure. "Richard - it's you!" - I exclaimed, a little shocked and a little surprised, while I rubbed my head bump a little fiercely. "What are you doing here by the way?!" - I hissed, the pain was pinching and slightly unbearable. Like......was this dude made out of rock or something. How could his chest be so goddamn hard. "Following a little birdie around.......She actually had promised to give me a call. But so far she had been an absolute no show." - He chuckled,his green eyes glazing over my figure. I could swear that i had seen that familiar pair eyes somewhere - but i couldn't quite figure out where I had seen them. I have never been good with remembering trivial issues. "Are you hurt perhaps?" - He examin
