he said, voice coming out a little hoarse and awkward. It was Caio. He closed the door behind him and sat in the armchair across from Adam, no beating around the bush. “Everything’s ready for the trip. Besides me, I’m taking two trusted men. I don’t think we’ll need more than that. We’ve never had problems with Morales, and I don’t think it’ll start now,” Caio explained, straight to the point. Adam nodded slowly, still pulling himself together. “You’re right. But don’t forget the suspicions we have. We’ll see if this trip finally lets us figure out who’s really betraying us: Morales or Hugo Beltran. I need to sort out the port situation as fast as possible. My reputation’s on the line.”

I eat, sleep, wake up, and shower while paying attention to my surroundings. I had thought of calling my siblings and friends to tell them about the good news, but I had no proof, not even a single selfie with David. The next day, I had walked outside of my apartment, stood in the same position where David stood while waving back at me. The probability that David would come back to see me was 0.0%, but still I hoped he would pass by. I suddenly wondered what he was doing in my neighborhood, wasn't it too much of a cliché? I pondered out loud. "Could it be that he lived in my area? No way!" I gasped. The moment I suddenly turned back to go into my apartment, there he was, the man of my dreams

The sight was incredibly satisfying. "You're finally here! Come on, let's go!" Shanine grabbed Phoebe's hand, and the three of us boarded the train together. When we bought the tickets, I had suggested getting cheaper ones so we could spend more money on the hotel and activities. The train we took was an old one. The entire journey was slow and shaky. The car was packed, especially since it was a holiday travel peak. None of us had reserved seats. Luckily, I reacted quickly enough and grabbed an empty one as soon as we boarded.

It was as if the universe had orchestrated their meeting, weaving a tapestry of destiny that unfolded with each step they took together. Their journey led them to a clear path, almost like a road. Just off the path, you could see the shape of a house bathed in sunlight, nestled among tall oak and pine trees. Looking closer, it wasn't just one cabin; there were several, some close to each other and some farther into the distance. John couldn't hide his astonishment and blurted out, "What's all this?" Darius, with a warm smile, responded, "Welcome to Wildwood Haven, John."

When I regained consciousness, I saw my father walking toward me. I froze in place, unsure of how to react. It was only when he walked through me that I realized that he couldn't see me. "Happy birthday, Queenie!" I watched as he patted my cousin, Queenie Anderson's head with a smile and handed her a prettily wrapped-up gift. "Thank you, Uncle Ben!" Queenie's birthday was seven days after mine. All of a sudden, it dawned on me that I had been dead for seven days.

If she was the person waiting at the end of his path, if it all leads right back down to her, Alastor knew everything he had been through and anything else was going to be so worth it.

He greeted Aina. “Jazz this is Sandhya. Today you will be patrolling with her.” Jazz nodded and guided Sandhya towards the ground which they were going to patrol. “Your name is Jazz? I am Sandhya. I hope we will patrol today peacefully.” Jazz just shook his head. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” Jazz looked at her nervously. “It’s…it’s nothing. Nice to meet you.” Sandhya noticed the badge he was wearing. “You are also a high schooler and Second year? Then you would be senior to me. Why are you nervous?”

I think, we should try to do that guys, she added. They tried to say it aloud. COOOOFFFFFIIINNNN! COFFIN is the answer. Open the doooooooorrrrr.. The light comes out from the door and it opens. They all entered. Yes! We got the correct answer, Adam jumped with happiness. Finally we can go home.
