Chapter 5
As I woke up the following day, I decided to rapidly take a coffee, before heading to the town. I went to the shop I saw the previous day, in order to buy some things that could be useful, to clean myself and have enough for not to die of starvation.
Once it was done, I went back to my little 'camp', and took advantage of the unusual sun to enjoy my breakfast. Then, I put some new clothes on, took my bike, and left for the restaurant of my dear brother, as he asked me to.
0o0o0o0o0o0
When I arrived in front of the restaurant, parking my motorbike in the parking lot, I could see that it was almost empty, just 2 persons were at the bar, talking with Duke, showing me their back. Full of happiness to eventually have some time with him, I opened the entrance door, a ear-to-ear smile "Hello!" I exclaimed.
Unfortunately, despite Duke's answer and his smile for, I guessed, seeing me again, I instantly loosed mine when the 2 persons that were talking to him, turned over to see me. Of course it was the 2 cops of the other day, I couldn't have been lucky enough to be let alone a little bit with my brother, it wasn't possible. Sometimes, I was wondering what I could possibly have done to the dear God for having such a misfortune.
I hesitated a few second to rapidly leave and avoid them the rest of my time here, but I obviously thought too much time, because they were already on their feet, the clear intention to not let me go.
"Miss! It's a pleasure to see you, we'll finally have the opportunity to talk to you." The blond one told me, smiling "We don't really had time yesterday after the unfortunate event at the square." The guy beside her was scanning me while her partner spoke to me.
"Eum… yeah! Too bad" I replied with uncertainty.
Did Duke tell them I would possibly came this morning? Did he set me up? When I gazed in his direction, I understood it was not his intention. He was clearly annoyed to see them almost jumped at me about yesterday. Certainly because he was afraid I would ran away.
"Please guys, let her alone. She's just here to have a drink, and I hope, to see me." He added, winking at me at the end.
"Stay out of this Duke! It's not your business." Exclaimed the strict looking guy.
"Yes, it is! Because she's my friend, and you're in MY restaurant!" Duke started to heat up.
"Well, if it can help to make you leave, I agree to answer some of your questions." I finally stated, not wanting to have him getting in problem because of me.
I saw the girl smile becoming larger. She sat down again on one of the tool, and invited me to join them, what I did, dragging my feet. I could caught Duke's grin, when he saw me coming reluctantly.
"So, first let me introduce us. I'm officer Audrey Parker, and here's my partner Nathan Wuarnos." The girl told me.
"I'm Ellina.' I added, seeing her waiting for it.
"And I'm Duke!" Duke jokingly added, hopping to cool down the atmosphere. I giggled at that, silently thanking him for his intervention.
"And do you have a name Ellina?" The said Nathan asked me. Exactly what I hopped to avoid.
"Yes." I simply answered, wishing they would understand I had no desire to let them know more about me.
"Okay… anyway, we'll come back on this later." Audrey told me, with the hope I would answered to her next questions. "So, why did you come here, on this so calm town?"
"Actually not your business" I coldly told her. Nathan made a face "Look, we're still officers, so if you don't answer our question, we still can drag you to the office." She threatened.
"Please guys, calm down a little, okay? She ahs the right not to answer if she doesn't want to, so, if you don't want me to kick your ass off MY place, relax!" Duke took part.
"Fine! But at least, tell us: how did you manage to survive yesterday? I'm sure you know that all that happened was not 'normal'." I froze, I didn't want to answer this, because I didn't how to explain this. I didn't think about it yesterday, neither found a good explanation to justify yesterday.
"Eum… I guess I was lucky?" I hopelessly tried.
"Nop, that don't work. Find something else." Audrey smirked, surely she knew I was hiding Something, and maybe what it was.
"Look, we're going to simplify things for you. This town's not so calm, we all know that here, so it is not necessary to hide it." Nathan added, seeing I didn't know what to answer to his colleague. "Just for you to know, I also have a 'trouble', like the yesterday's guy. I cant feel pain, touch, I can't feel anything."
"Wow, really?" I couldn't believe it; the cop was troubled too! "Crazy!"
"Don't look so surprise, we know you must have some particularity too, if not you would have died under the pressure yesterday."
I was trapped, and expect run away, I couldn't lie anymore… but it wasn't the way I would like my brother to know about me.
"Fine… I have a kind of curse myself too. And yes, it was what permitted me to support the problem at the square." I reluctantly told them. Duke was gazing at me, clearly interested by what I was saying.
"And what it is exactly? You are kind of immune at a certain degree against other persons trouble?" she asked me, a lot more curious than before.
"Sort of… it's just a little part of it, what help me to do I'm supposed to." I attempted to explain, avoiding of saying too mush.
"Oh please, be more specific, you can't just stop here, you started, now you finish." Duke asked me, with puppy eyes, and I could see the 2 cops vigorously nodded.
I let a loud sight escaped my lips, and decided to revel them my secret, after all, if I would like to draw closer to my brother, it was something I would one day or another, reveal.
"Well…"
Sorry, I couldn't stop myself for this cliffhanger ^^
Hope you liked it, til next time ;)
