10: Desolation
Marc
Almost an hour later he arrived at his apartment after leaving the hospital. The words of that guy kept repeating in his head over and over again: "... My name is Jörg and I'm Kay's boyfriend..."
"What he was expecting?
After so many months that he took it out of his life, Kay would welcome him with open arms? Or even more, that he would remain celibate?" "Scheiße!"
Marc reproached himself as he looked into the mirror. As he did so, he watched his pulse beat at the base of his throat. A man like Kay would hardly do it, but have a stable relationship, it was very different.
How dreamer he had been. During all the times that he imagined him and dreamed him, never in all that time, it comes across into his mind that Kay would turn over the page and rebuild his life.
From his mouth came a bitter laugh, he had been the only one far from getting over him, every day had sunk more and more in the obsession to find him. He opened up the tap, washed his face, and rinsed his mouth. Slowly he went to the master bedroom and lay on his back on the bed.
He did not know how long remained looking at the ceiling with his mind spinning until he felt a tingling in the legs that forced him to change his posture. He did not sleep all night.
Sunlight began to seep through the curtains, so he chose to get up and get ready to go to work. Leaving his feelings in a second term, it was clear that the most important thing now was Kay's prompt recovery. "Because he had to wake up, he had to..." -Marc implored-.
With that thought guiding him, he turned to the unit. There, thanks to one of his subordinates, he was able to know more about the attack occurred two weeks ago.
He also had an opportunity to delve deeper into Kay's life in Munich and realize that he had good colleagues who appreciated him and were appalled by what had happened. It seemed that everyone knew about his sexual preferences, nevertheless, nobody here bothered because of that.
Marc was counting the hours to finish the day and go to the hospital when suddenly the head of division came to his office to inform him that they had intercepted a cell of the criminal group they were looking for. So they had must to travel to Hamburg immediately to continue the research.
