Chapter 31: Connection
Selina Johnson | 19:10
-I don't get it either, I could give you something if your stupid law enforcement would let me..
-Investigate? Yeah, blame them. I would have too after being shut down even though I am officially discharged from active duty. Right?
-(Sighs)..I should have gone through that envelope before acting...I, I guess being with you guys I just had lost my sense of duties.
-...(Sighs)...I understand. But why ask Layla!? I mean I was like totally waiting for your calls; you may have earned her trust in your own way but putting her up with weird jobs without any idea of consequences..
-...Sorry; I didn't want to ruin this day for your daughter.
-...
-How is she doing now?
-Sleeping; (signs)I just still can't get over it.
-After having to stand up against all these she was still trying to help them with the mess. I guess I am yet to know her, at least more than I wanted to.
-...I am really relieved about her release.
-I am too. It was close; bullet just scratched through the side of the skull.
-Too close.
-But Jerry, I did see that the other guy was pretty banged up too. Medicals were literally concerned about his hearing and loss of blood.
-If he does end up being deaf, I would say it's for the better.
-Oh? Why do you think that?
-Selina?
-Yes?
-Are you gonna look into this?
-I wish I could. As you know my badge is mostly useless now. Unless I am done with the councillor...but..
-..You're not sitting at your room until Ms. Psychiatrist gives you permission.
-Hmm,- I let out a breath of air. We were sitting in Jerry's apartment for more than an hour. My state of mind wasn't stable enough for the local authorities, I couldn't truly hold them liable for that. My department itself confirmed it through a call.
-Do you have the documents of that envelope?
-...Does the name Ice Queen mean anything to you?
-..No. Nothing that sounds familiar.
-Oh...I wonder if that rich old man is alive or..anyway what's Jane been up to?
-She was with Layla l think. Let me check.
-...,- I knew with what I saw that Jerry hadn't been truly honest with me. There was a feeling inside me constantly telling me to keep my eyes on him.
-...
-Look at them sleeping; so she was here all the time, around Layla.
-Yeah...I should probably start preparing dinner...I am just happy she is finally here. It wasn't easy, watching her like that.
-I know, all of these have been my fault. Things are like this because I stepped in inside your life. I wish Layla can forgive me.
-(Sighs)...I remember I was the one who poked my nose out at first. Let's just not bring those up.
-...
-Now then, mind giving me a hand in the kitchen?
-Sure. Let's go.

-Tell me something Jerry?
-Hmm?
-When did you learn Kali? You know some may call it Eskrima...
