Supernatural Case Files

Part 4

Earlier in the morning, when the tired, lazy, and hungry little girl, was still bound to her duty while still refrained from the basic luxury a girl around her age needs.

Umber while still living a few days of her life working her duty while temporarily staying in a remote locality with little to no public access so were there any extent of civilization well known there.

Today this morning while drowned out of her energy, Umber still managed to properly greet Tyler, his work, and mostly the other side at duty with a partially cheerful good morning before she lazily narrowed her head again to the window to purposefully bask her lazy face under the gentle, golden sunlight.

"Eventho you look wholesome when your features are highlighted under the sunlight. Especially your ash eyes that look more silverish.

Umber, have you slept well last night, remember that I had to drive you with your head leaned on my shoulder when you drowsed asleep.

And good morning Umber, lastly" spoke Tyler.

"Tyler why would you sneak on me?"

"Why would you ask?
It's that simple to recognize for you,
Even tho at the stage, you stand at and how we work along, I am still not aware of your thoughts and feelings for me.

But one thing is for sure. U have caught my feelings for sure, my heart.

And the fact that I could say that I love you, that made me want to protect you, and stay with you even more after work.

I love you and always wanted to protect you even tho when I know you could not be thinking anyway like me.

The fact that the day you heard me shoot bullets blindly, in fact, I can be clumsy, but being clumsy around guns is in no way my trait.

That time, when I first had an alarming instinct at the time while I had to stay beside Monty sir, I first checked upon your presence and tracked your trial when I knew you acted on yourself.

All I wanted was to see you safe and I knew something was going off because I was aware but only had to quickly resolve on the gun.

The vehicle noise that late at night probably around 3." spoke Tyler as he prepared the table with the food Wynn had to offer these two.

Tyler had his warm and generous gaze fixed at Umber who still looked away and into the window.

"Tyler,
Zakura's parents have seen you a decent amount of time and wanted to see you.

They also spoke this to me before I left their home." spoke Umber casually.

"For this one time I could appreciate Wynn for bringing in some sufficient food." expressed Tyler replacing the topic just as how Umber did to him. But this time Umber was slightly upset with Tyler for responding to her differently, when she caught her gaze with him, she was only met with his expressions and how she had done the same without realizing how she felt when being answered the same way. And then soon that moment, Umber realized his care for him, having just a plain black coffee for himself while he provided her with a sandwich box and milk coffee.

Umber maintained herself and spoke again.

"So Tyler, we will be leaving around 12 or 2," serious in her tone and wanting to continue the topic for a little longer.

"Tyler, why do you only have that coffee?
Please take good care of yourself," was her way to indirectly respond to him and it was on him to catch her hint of love. Either way Umber passed 1 out of 2 sandwiches from the plastic transparent sandwich box lying open on the wooden table.

When finally Tyler accepted the sandwich, Umber shied away and glared back at the window out of the intense shyness of the moment. But something outside the window caught her frail and frown.

"Is that Damian?" whispered she.

"Who's Damian?" Questioned his curious hazel eyes.

"Damian Bardens is Anna Albert's only grandson," spoke Umber in her serious tone that only made Tyler speak,

"Let's wind up our breakfast pretty early and start the digging for today."

"I want to look into Frank's diary," spoke Umber poking the straw into her coffee.

In the cottage all alone, she beside him and no one around, in the dead silence and the fading candlelight, when the piled stuff was farthest and the darkest and the air had nothing to mutter onto, Umber spoke slowly,

"Tyler, it's 12 in the morning, do you think it's the right time we keep moving"

"Umber, indeed I drove the car home but I didn't prepare anything good to wear, just not in the mood for a move out already," spoke Tyler lazily.

"Come on, do you think I would easily rot in this uniform for days, I don't understand how you did not notice it but I have put fuel regularly in the car and also got for ourselves a pretty much fresh bunch of clothes when felt it."

They took their time out to get themselves prepared.

When Tyler first caught a glimpse of Umber just in her casual fit apart from the uniform, Tyler felt his heart pump out love for her but couldn't express it casually.

They walked along with hands tugged along while they walked carefree and closer together for the first time so casually and without wearing their uniform. Even after getting into the car, Umber was the one sitting casually next to Tyler while Tyler was handling the steering.

Umber could rather turn her face away to look at the darkness but her ash eyes choose to desperately submit herself to his glorifying personality.

The little moments they withheld to praise themselves till the time they finally parked the car outside the gate.

Even tho they sensed Zakura's expressions from behind, the love buds could not care more about how they had to present themselves in the eye of anyone around.
