Thanks to "Stardust4" for reviewing. Here we go the chapter 2. I took a bit long to update it, but I'm really trying hard on that, I'm still a rookie =\ It's a bit dramatic, but I'm trying...stop the talking and hope you like this one
- Claire, do me a favor, watch the kids, I gotta an important matter to handle with, when I finish there I'll go back to get the kids… Leon was interrupted
- What is it all about? Asked Chris
- I'll let you know, gotta go.
And then, Leon headed to his car and drove like a crazy to his meet with Hunnigan.
Everybody in the house was really confused about Leon's actions.
- What do you think is it about? Asked Chris to his sister
- I don't know, you got me on that, but it's gotta be really huge for him to leave like that. Said Claire
- Yeah, I just wish it's not another viral threat or something like that. Said Chris annoyed
- Are you sure about that? Asked Leon
- Probably, the source is very trustable. Answered Hunnigan.
- "Probably"??? That's not an answer for me, I need a confirmation! A real one! Said Leon a bit angry and disappointed.
- It's 99% sure that it's her Leon. She tried to calm him.
- Hunnigan 99 it's not an option for me, it's gotta be 100%. This isn't the first time you got on that, and the last time as I remember, it was a fake! I need a REAL one, I need a real confirmation, a real affirmation, I need 100% of sure, otherwise, don't call me!
- It's 99 Leon, you have no idea how much I put my ass on risk to help you out on that. Do you really think it's easy to find a DEAD ONE?
- "Dead one"???? Watch your words lady, you know who you're talking to and about too! replied Leon energetic.
- Sorry, but it's true. She's given dead! Even for the government she is a deceased. Ingrid replied back.
- More respect with My wife, dead or not! Haven't you heard about this magic word "Respect"? Leon with irony.
- Yes, I have, and I apologize for the manners but what can I say, her body was never found and it's been a year and it's the truth, she's given dead, you know that! Said Ingrid.
- You have no idea what I've been through to get to understand this kind of manners. Leon replied her back.
Ingrid got silent to try to stop the argument that wasn't gonna lead to nowhere.
Leon got her message and stopped speaking but still facing her.
- That's what I've got Leon, I'll try more ends ok? But for now that's it. Ingrid cut the silence.
- Ok. Leon said
- What are you gonna do? Are telling the others already? She asked him
- Nope, I'll wait a bit your end, but I'll try to find more clues and work on a resolution. He answered her.
- Ok then and I'm sorry, but when I heard it I thought you would be happier, I couldn't hold myself, you may doubt me, but I really wanna help you on finding her, and give back your peace. Ingrid said before lifting from her chair.
- Thanks, I won't doubt you and it's definitely a bit relieving. But about my peace, it's just gonna happen when this torment got to an end, finding her… live or dead! It may take thousands of years, but I'll find her and come to a real conclusion. Leon said
-I admire your determination. Ingrid said
- I love her! Leon said
- Your love for her is admiring. Ingrid said back
Leon smiled a bit and said
- That's what love is something huge, a powerful strength and never dies. Leon said even being present he somehow seemed distant.
Ingrid couldn't avoid her admiration on that words, specially coming from a guy like Leon as everybody used to call" iceman" or "the flirt one".
- She's a lucky person! She said
- I think it's the opposite. Leon replied,
- But now I gotta go get the kids, people are confused up Claire's. He said smiling and thanked again.
- See ya tomorrow, bye. She said and drove off
"It's so dawn cold, dark and silent in here. I remember before you passed, it was so warm, clear and cozy. It was pleasant to get home and feel your embrace and even when you couldn't come to an embrace, there was your smell in the air or maybe the smell of your food. But most importantly, there was joy! And now… it's empty! God, how much I miss you!".
Leon thought when he got home after picking up his kids at Claire's house.
- You 2, go to change and then sleep. Said Leon to his kids
- I'm not sleepy. Said Jenny
- Neither me. Leo said too
- It's late, it's time for kids to go to bed. I gotta wake up early tomorrow and I'm gonna sleep too and so, you do as I say. Leon replied
- If mom was here, she wouldn't mind stay awake with us until we got sleepy! Leonard confronted his father.
- Mom's not here! Said Jenny
- Yeah, I know and it's his fault. Replied Leonard to her
- Leonard, are you really gonna start it??? Leon called sharply his son attention
Jennyffer was the first one to head her bedroom, but Leonard got still in front of his father, but looking down.
"God! Give me patience to handle this kid, he is no easy! But even though when he acts like that, somehow deep inside me, I feel like he's right!" Leon thought in his prayer and passed his hand on his hair
- Look, I'll stay a bit awake with you, but you gotta promise me not to wake me up during dawn like you do every night, daddy's really tired, understand that. He said to his son
- I understand, but I miss mommy, she never calls. Leo said
- She's busy. Leon replied but with his heart broken
- What kind of work is that, even you that lives for work calls when you're on a mission, why can't she? Leo said holding his crying
Leon sighed as he tried some explanation, a plausible one.
- There are several kinds of works, this one she is into, is really big, surely she has her reasons not to do it, but when she finishes it, she'll explain everything, I'm sure of it. Leon tried to explain
Leonard didn't wanna buy on that, but that's all he's got for now, and then he said
- Don't need to be awake with me, I'm gonna sleep, I'm tired, good night dad. And headed to his room
- Good night son.
- Ah! One more thing, don't worry, I won't bother you in the night, I promise! Leo said as he climbed the stairs.
Leon gave a deep sigh and then went to check on them and then went to his bedroom.
"Cold and empty bedroom" , Leon thought as he entered and changed to his boxers and lied on the bed.
"Cold bed"
It was his last thought before he felt asleep.
Wow, this one is a bit long, never did that. Hope you like it and I'll try to update faster the next chapter. Bye!
