บท 23: An Anonymous call

The old house was cleaned and the necessary stock and the fridge were full. We brought both men to one of the guest rooms. I changed their medicine and checked their condition. They will be fine after some days. The cockatoo was sent to a bird care center.

I could smell the food from the kitchen and went to have lunch. I was starving from yesterday and ate like I hadn't had food for a week.

Then both Ray and I went to the underground basement and sat down beside the comatose Eva. I could feel my bloodthirst rising and wanted to take her life when thinking about Rit's death but I had to learn some information from her so she should remain alive for a few days.

How could such a gentle beauty commit or be a part of Rit's murder? So never go to the face, beauty is what lies inside the heart.

I decided I will wake her after Del gains his consciousness but I could torture her some. So I added some toxins to her nutrition drip which will make her skin irritated.

To avoid the turmoil building inside me I exited the basement and walked towards the sofa, lay down, and closed my eyes to rest. As much as I wanted to change my uncomfortable clothes, the tiredness overcame me.

I had seen Nick in the room but ignored him. I could feel Nick staring at me with open eyes. Maybe Ray hasn't informed him anything.

"Ray, where are you? This old house has been haunted. I...can see B's ghost here. As much as I want to see her but I am afraid of ghosts. Ray, please come here." He was screaming and shouting.

"Nick stop your nonsense. Where is B's ghost? I can't see anywhere. Maybe you have turned crazy." Ray rushed to the living room and was pranking Nick.

"She is on the sofa wearing a leather jacket and black jeans. Even when she is a ghost she looks like a fairy. Look, Ray, she has her eyes closed."

"No, I can't see anyone on the sofa. Maybe that's your imagination, Nick."

"NO...Ray, I am not lying. I'm scared." Then he went to hide behind Ray.

Ray smacked his head and told," Yeah you are not lying but that's not a ghost. B is alive she came a few minutes ago."

"Are you really telling the truth? That's B, not her ghost. But we saw that Wega disappeared so how was she alive?"

"Scary cat. Don't ask more, if she wishes she will tell so have patience."

"Patience is what I don't have. So I have to find methods online to learn how I can have patience. Have you seen my phone?" Nick was easy to be distracted.

"You don't know then how will I know."

"Oh yeah Ray how did she come here, she seems tired too."

Then Ray told him about me asking for help and the whole situation. He told Nick about the patients and instructed him not to disturb me as I was tired. I had heard their bantering but continued to rest. As I said before it was interesting working with them. My days ahead won't feel gloomy and lonely.

For two days, I ate a lot and slept. Nothing more than that. After every time I lose control of my emotions I feel extremely hungry and tired.

I don't know if someday I lose my control of emotions and go berserk in such a way that I couldn't differentiate between right and wrong and the control goes out of my hand. What will happen? But till now I lose control that's within my limit to turn normal. So no idea, let's wait for the future.

After two days I was fully energized. Del and his subordinate hadn't woken up for days so I had to check their condition.

Entering the room I checked their condition and everything was fine with them. It was not that I was a medical genius or something but the first aid was self-learned and my master had taught me some ancient medicine. In such ways, I could treat myself and someone in a time of need; only those who weren't in a critical situation.

I went to the living room, sat on the sofa and turned my phone on (one that was from the black market), and saw some missed calls from Nia's mother from a few days. I called her but she didn't pick up her phone for a long time but at the last ring she picked up her phone. She spoke very softly and cautiously.

"Hello miss, I had called you before but I couldn't connect to you."

"Is there a problem?"

"Yeah, a few days ago the bodyguard you paid left their work and someone barged at the hospital. Luckily I hide Nia, but someone is persistently looking for us. What to do?"

"Be calm Nia's mother. I will immediately send someone to your rescue. Hide to a safe place and don't panic."

As I thought, someone came to find her. I ordered Ray to rescue those mother and daughter and bring them to Weery City. He immediately left in his Jeep. I am sure he will complete his first mission.

I hadn't checked my email for a long time so when I opened my laptop a lot of notifications popped up. Parrot had updated his finding and asked how I was. I replied telling him I was fine but can't reach the capital within the deadline I had made. Tomorrow was the last day of the month as I told him before. So I notified him that I will need some days and delay my arrival.

My informers had sent me some messages about Mr. Green, saying they hadn't found anyone with that name related to Capital University and in the medical field. If he was not someone related to Nia or the lab then who was he?

Then after reading all the emails I saw a message in spam sent by someone anonymously. The person has asked me to meet him very soon in the capital if possible, within two months because the person had something that my grandmother had left for me.

When I tried to search for the details, nothing was there. So the person doesn't want to let me know who and what they are? Or trying hard to keep themself secret so as not to let anyone know except me. I accepted his privacy.

Whatever it was I will wait.

Nick was back in the old house as he was a high school kid and immediately after he entered he looked at me with aggravated eyes.

"B are you fine now? What has happened in Wega? Can you tell me more about it...."

I cut his word and told him not to ask anything about it as it was not the right thing to tell them.

"Okay B but you have to give me a mission too. I can't be behind Ray. So please order me to do something alone for you."

"You don't have to do anything for me now but I do have a mission for you. And your final exam is in a week, isn't it?"

"Yeah it is but B I can pass easily so give me a mission."

"Listen to me first and never cut my sentence. It's the rule I made for you. You understand, don't you?"

"Okay"

"I want you to score better and prepare yourself for Capital University, that's my test mission for you. If you get admitted there within a month you work for me otherwise you are on your own."

He turned serious" I will surely pass the test you are giving me. So I need to study now so I will meet you only after admitting to Capital University. So don't miss me often."

The house was silent for a day as both Ray and Nick were absent.
