"This way, Sir." The guard led the way towards the deserted stairways after briefly reporting the man's arrival through his earpiece.
About a few minutes ago, the two figures the man worriedly searched for were seen facing the serene evening sky from the heights. The blond sang his daughter's favorite lullaby with his thumb gently caressing her temple.
[My lovely treasure, the evening is here]
[This day that we had, has been so good]
[Now sleep tight my darling, until we'll soon meet again]
[Thank you, my beloved friend, for your caring and warm hand]
[Thank you, for the smile in your eyes, and your warm voice]
The little girl's bright blue eyes had long fluttered from the drowsiness, and so it didn't take long for her to finally fall asleep.
He cradled her in his warm embrace as his somewhat somber gaze wandered far, far away to the darkness that had begun dyeing the sky deep purple.
