The rushing noise filled the city of Black Crest as the rapid pattering of the rain fell on Monday evening. The rain came unexpectedly, and there was no further warning for any storm coming from the weather forecast. Lucky for those citizens who came home early from work, they just had to settle in their homes waiting for their supper to be cooked. As for those who need to take an extra hour at work, the situation left them no choice but to travel home and take their risk waiting for the heavy traffic jam caused by the heavy rain.

In one unit of the condominium building, there lived a lady in her near thirties, wearing a milky-white satin nightgown with her velvety curls falling freely down to her waist. She was standing near the windowpane, her round gunmetal blue orbs fixed at the hazy lights reflected by the fogged glass window. She was wrapping her arms together in front of her chest due to the coldness of the weather.

For some time, she gradually drifted her gazes at the door and

    "Who are you, and why are you here?" Hyde uttered while grasping the intruder's hands tightly on his back."Ouch! Hey, be gentle. I mean no harm." A young man winced as he gave up resisting the detective's grip."Can you just release me, mister, so I could properly introduce myself?"Hyde heaved out a deep sigh and released the captive. Their eyes widened as they both realized each other's identity."You?! " They said in unison. Both were filled with confusion."Who let you in? Don't you know that you can be charged for trespassing?" Hyde authoritatively said which was only responded to by an eye roll from the guy."Look, 'mister-whoever-you-are', before you can say something, allow me to introduce myself first, 'kay? "Hyde remained cautious when the guy rummaged something in his bag. No one knows there might be something dangerous there, so he must stay alert."Ah here, see this? " Asked the young man as he presented his ID card in front of Hyde's face."What's a nosy journalist doi

    “Wait, Pa! Where are you going?” Tears fell from the man’s eyes as he gently caressed his son’s tender cheeks. Then a forced smile drew from his brims as he looked into his innocent confused eyes.“Aries, son. Will you promise papa you’ll look after mama?” Words that came out from his father’s utterances. The boy seemed to be clueless about what his father has said, but he managed to nod his head as response. And so the man began turning his back from his son and prepared to leave.“But where are you going?” the boy asked again. The man came back and gave the boy a very tight embrace.“Papa has to leave for work in few weeks. Mama might get lonely, please take care of her for me.”“Hmm, Don’t worry pa. I will take care of mama.” The boy’s innocent smile brought ache from his father’s heart, yet he tried not to show it to his son.And so the young boy gladly bid his father goodbye until he finally left the house. Little did he know, that would be the last time he would see his father.*

    In the far corner of the restaurant, Hyde chose to take the vacant table and glanced outside the glass window where the night was devoured by the bright luminescence lights guiding the streets and the moving cars on the busy highway. He never knew how fascinating the city is at night.“You must be Mr. Collins?” Hyde swiftly drifted his gazes when a man in his late fifties suddenly came to approach him. His skin started to wrinkle and some strands of his hair have turned to gray but his sophisticated eyes haven’t shown any change. Formality screamed out from the man’s appearance as Hyde darted his gazes at him.“Yes sir, Hyde Collins.” The inspector smiled and reached out for the young man’s hand then they sent a formal shake of hands before they seated on their seats.“Would you mind having dinner as we talk?”“Fine by you.” The man chuckled. Hyde called the waiter and asked him to present the course. The waiter nodded and left the table.“So you’re a son of James Collins.” Hyde looke

    “You want to see me?” Hyde asked as he entered James’ office. He set himself on the chair when the man offered a seat.“Your request for a break was approved by the director just now.” James notified.“I see. I could finally grab a ticket back to Black Crest tomorrow immediately.” He said to himself.“Yeah, but Flynn must go with you.” Hyde hastily crossed his brows to the man’s suggestion.“What?”“I’ll ask Flynn to go with you.” “No, no one’s going with me. I don’t want anyone to be involved in my own battle.” He firmly said.“And I can’t let you enter this hell alone. Jack entrusted you to me, and I can’t just let you enter a battlefield without thinking about the consequences. I can be at ease if someone will accompany you.” Worries filled the man’s eyes as he locked his gaze on the young man.“No, my decision’s final, I can’t let Flynn come with me.” James heaved out a defeated sigh.“Okay, fine. But you must report to me every single plan you have. In case I could come up with b

    A familiar white ceiling welcomed Hyde the moment he opened his eyes, and the lemon scent of the disinfectant lingers on every side of the room—just like that day. He was certain he is currently confined in the hospital. But how did he end up here?Hyde sat up on the bed, resting his back on the well-varnished headboard, and slightly massaged his temple. He was trying to remember what happened last night since he could barely remember anything.“Damn it! I did it again.” He thought, brushing his hair in frustration.“Adie told me you suddenly fainted after successfully throwing the bomb away from the ship.” Hyde glanced at James who was standing near the glass window, crossing both of his arms on his chest. He didn’t notice he was there the whole time.“I see.” The young man commented when everything turned out clear to him. James left the window and was seated on the couch facing the bed.“You know you’re afraid of explosions and yet you still~”“I told you I’m not afraid of bombs—no
