CINCUENTA


I quickly called Inspector Saadi. I wasn't stupid to go there all by myself and I sure as hell wasn't gonna go unprotected.

I told him about the call I received and the history behind this Aro guy, at least what Bella and the waiter at El Arlequin had told me.

"There is no way you are going there alone. For all we know, this guy is working with the man that kidnapped Peter and killed Caius. You could be his next target, since you are the only one left capable of asking the right questions."

The inspector came up with a plan. He was gonna park outside the house and remain close in case anything happened. He also gave me a taser, just in case.

I decided to walk to the house, since I couldn't drive anymore. The sunglasses I was wearing made everything darker, but the sun was out and the light hurt my eyes.

I arrived to a small house and immediately noticed that the front door was open.

I looked back and saw Inspector Saadi in his car across the street and motioned for him to look at the door. He quickly got out of the car and jogged towards me.

"Was it like this when you got here?" I asked him.

"No, but you stay here."

I nodded and stood on the porch.

He drew out his gun and a flashlight and went in.

A few minutes later, the sun had gone down and the night had come. The street lamps gave me enough light to see while I paced the front yard.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, making me yelp and jump back.

"Mr. Jasper..."

I turned around. I could barely make out the man in front of me, but I noticed his dark hair and goatee. He was also taller than me, but thinner.

"Mr. Aro?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry... I just wanted to-"

The lights of the entire neighborhood went out and I felt the panic rise in me. I tried to push it down, but when I felt a body slam against me, I screamed.

"Mr. Whitlock!" I heard Inspector Saadi shout to my left. "Are you okay?"

"Someone pushed me! Someone's here... Can y-you use the flashlight, please?"

I heard the the inspector's footsteps walk around me and suddenly a loud boom echoed through the dark night.

"What the fuck was that? Inspector? INSPECTOR!"

I stood up. It was too dark for me too see. I took a few steps forward and then I felt someone grabbed my arm.

"It's me, Mr. Whitlock..." said the inspector.

"What is it? What was that? An explosion?"

He remained silent, his hand grabbing my arm.

"Ca-can you turn on the flashlight, please? I can't see in this darkness... Inspector?"

"Jasper..."

"What?"

"The power came back just now."
