Part 11

Jane was sitting next to Robin watching him when he woke up with a start. She had taken his hand in hers and had been sitting next to him for five hours until he awoke again. Robin woke up with a start and Jane jumped up and pushed him back down. She looked at him in shock until Robin calmed down. When Robin calmed down, she sat down again. "What happened?" Robin asked, but he remembered everything very quickly and started to panic again. Jane saw his face change from shock to despair and loss. It'll be okay, Jane said quickly to him, but she heard that she had a lump in her throat and immediately fell silent. At that moment, Dr. Smith walked into the room and said in a neutral manner, Everything will be all right, Robin. You don't have to worry about what happened." She smiled at Jane, gently pulled the tubes Robin had in his arm from his arm and left the room again. Oh, and before I forget you'd better go find Alexa and Sky. Mr. Hale has something important to tell you. Robin and Jane looked at each other briefly and began to laugh softly. Jane helped Robin up and led him to their consultation room. They entered the room and saw Alexa and Sky standing next to each other, blushing slightly. Mr. Hale was already waiting for them and didn't look too happy. Mr. Hale was a friendly man of about twenty-eight years of age and was Dr. Smith's best friend. Robin and Jane looked at each other briefly and began to laugh softly.

Robin and Jane looked at each other briefly and began to laugh softly. Jane helped Robin up and led him to their consultation room. They entered the room and saw Alexa and Sky standing next to each other, blushing slightly. Mr. Hale was already waiting for them and didn't look too happy. Mr. Hale was a friendly man of about twenty-eight years of age and was Dr. Smith's best friend. They had known each other since they were little and were the two people who brought Jane, Robin, Alexa and Sky together. Normally he should make a funny remark now, but he didn't look like that. He looked at The Four with a business look. I'm glad you came so quickly. This meeting is very important right now. As you know there is a serious problem going on. He gave Jane a penetrating look that made Jane say, "You don't know this, but every month someone was killed around here." Alexa looked at her with a concentrated look and asked in astonishment, "Word?" Yeah, was Now someone is murdered almost every week and the murders are getting closer and closer. "And you don't tell us that?" Robin asked, sitting in a chair diagonally behind Jane. He looked at Jane and Mr. Hale. "I've forbidden Jane to say anything to you, if that's the thing that bothers you," Mr. Hale said bluntly. He looked at Robin and Robin immediately shut up. Jane wanted to say something to Robin, but Sky interrupted her: That's not the most important thing right now. Do we know who is responsible for all those murders? No, said Jane. All we know is who the victims are. We don't know any more Nothing at all? Alexa suddenly asked. That's impossible, isn't it? Can't we figure out who could be the next victim? You said the murders are getting closer and closer together, didn't you?" "Yes," said Jane shortly. "Well, I think we've all seen enough movies to realize that we can do something now, huh." "That's right," Robin replied. Could you come up with something? Sure, Alexa replied with a smile. I do need someone who can help me write everything out and all that stuff. "I will," said Sky directly and looked at Alexa with a grin. "Okay, that's settled then," Alexa said quickly. Jane and Robin looked at each other briefly, but had to look away quickly so as not to laugh. Normally, Sky wasn't so quick to say yes to a question to help Alexa, and Alexa wasn't so quick to let Sky help her either. Mr. Hale gave them a more cheerful look and said they could all go outside. "Um, Jane?" he asked as they went out. "Yes?" replied Jane. She turned and walked back inside. "Go on," she told the others. All three nodded and walked on. "Can I do something?" asked Jane. Yeah, actually, Mr. Hale told her. Normally, Sky wasn't so quick to say yes to a question to help Alexa, and Alexa wasn't so quick to let Sky help her either. Mr. Hale gave them a more cheerful look and said they could all go outside. "Um, Jane?" he asked as they went out. "Yes?" replied Jane. She turned and walked back inside. "Go on," she told the others. They all nodded and walked on. "Can I do something?" asked Jane. Yeah, actually, Mr. Hale told her.

"Um, Jane?" he asked as they went out. "Yes?" replied Jane. She turned and walked back inside. "Go on," she told the others. All three nodded and walked on. "Can I do something?" asked Jane. Yeah, actually, Mr. Hale told her. He opened one of the drawers in the desk and took out a gold envelope. Could you post these? I have no more time these days and this letter must be sent as soon as possible. Is there a new member coming? Jane asked curiously as she took the letter. I think you know the person we are, said Mr. Hale, pointing to the address on the envelope. Jane looked at the address and saw the name of an old acquaintance on the envelope. She didn't have a very good history with that person, and didn't really want to change it. "Serious?!" she asked Mr. Hale in surprise, but he just looked at her. Just get that letter in the mail ASAP, okay? I trust that will happen. He nodded briefly at her and said, Go back to your friends now. A tough time may be coming. Okay, Jane said, putting a slight smile on her face. She went out, but wouldn't go to the three others, so she went to her room. She put the envelope on her desk and stretched out on her bed. She closed her eyes and tried to think about nothing for a moment, but she couldn't quite do it. She saw Robin's face in front of her the whole time and couldn't get it out of her face. She opened her eyes again and sat up straight. Only now did she hear the soft piano sounds coming from the hallway. She got up and walked into the hallway. The piano sounds came from Robin's room. Jane walked to his room and stood listening outside his door. The door was half open, so she opened the door a little wider until she saw Robin sitting at his piano. She imagined listening with her head against the door frame. Robin played softly but vigorously as usual. He played so naturally and calmly. The sound coming from the piano just seemed to come out of his hands. He finished the piece and happened to look at the door where Jane was standing. Jan straightened her quickly and looked at the ground. "Hey," said Robin. "Come in, please." She looked at him and walked over to the piano. Robin pointed to the piano chair and Jane sat down next to him. How much have you heard of the play? asked Robin. "Not very much, but enough to know it sounded great," Jane said convincingly and looked at Robin with a smile. It's a cover of a not-so-known piano piece that I thought you might like. Is this a piece special to me? Jane asked in surprise. Yep, Robin said with a slight grin. "What do you think about it?" I think it's super good! said Jane still a little surprised. I'm glad of that Robin said, shifting his scores a bit to the left. Jane stared at him for a bit and quickly looked away when Robin looked in her direction. What was going on with Alexa and Sky? he asked suddenly. I don't know, said Jane. "Probably something we've been waiting for so long has finally happened." "And that is?" Robin asked as if he didn't know what that was. Well, that they finally got 'together', said Jane, jumping up. How long do you think they had to think about that? Jane continued, looking back at Robin. "I don't know," Robin said with a grin on his face. Why are you grinning again? asked Jane. Just said Robin. The fact that you just jumped up and started dancing like Alexa and Sky would duet I wasn't dancing! said Jane quickly. I can't dance at all! Robin laughed and stood up. He walked over to her and took her hand. Maybe that's why I'm laughing. He started grinning again and took a loose piece of hair that hung in front of Jane's face and tucked it behind her ears. Jane looked him straight in the eye. They were now closer than four inches to each other, looking into each other's eyes. This is Jane began, but Robin broke off her sentence by kissing her. Jane was startled and didn't allow it completely at first, but then let him in. They stood like this for quite some time until Robin was the first to withdraw. They looked at each other and then started laughing at the same time. "An answer to your question, surely?" Robin asked suddenly. Huh? said Jane. Yeah, about Alexa and Sky Robin replied. Jane looked at him in surprise. "Serious? Is this really the first thing you say after kissing someone? "No, but I thought it might be funny..." Robin said quickly. Jane glared at him, but grinned quickly at him, saying, "That's it." and kissed him again. At the time, she didn't really feel like anything could go wrong and everything seemed fine. She was happy again for the first time in a long time. Suddenly someone behind them opened the door quickly and rather loudly and said, Hey guys! What's up?" but I thought it might be funny Robin said quickly. Jane glared at him, but grinned quickly at him, saying, "That's it." and kissed him again.
