My vision blurred which was way better than not seeing anything in the pitch black void of darkness.
“Sargent!”
“I’m right next you sir.”
“You scared the shit out of me boy....” And almost made me rethink my life decisions!
“I’m only two months late than you! What in the world made you call me a boy Lin?”
That was the moment my vision focused. For a moment I caught glimpse of the partner of mine for the first time before it took its mere time to confuse me as hell.
“Surprise bitch!”
* * *
“You may consider this moment as the best to answer while you have it easy.What were you doing near the
Intelligence Sector?”
Threatening comes out so naturally out of him. And I wasn’t expecting that out of my best friend, at all. At least not in this situation. For years had done wonders to him and me taking the bait of this stupid surprise is making me regret my decision on returning back to the sector for good reasons.
“General, I hope you’d spare a minute of your precious time for me...” It was rare to have a personal visit from one the Executive Head Officers a.k.a. EHO in the lowly workplace of one of the sector 2 division’s newly assigned generals.
“My pleasure sir, would you like to have the seat...”
“Oh! A way to degrade your mentor General!”
“Sir I-”
“I know Colin...You aren’t a man forgetting the beginning. I was just joking, you know aging makes me selfish of youngsters...” he was splattering random nonsense clearly avoiding the topic to assure himself which he normally does when he’s nervous. Meaning he has visited for some request that he isn’t expecting the best outcome from. And I ain’t gonna wait for the sentimental talks to end to find out.
“Can we cut the slack and get straight to the point, sir?”
“Oh, blunt as ever you are Collin.” That helpless sigh of him can make me reassure that he hasn’t forgotten our beginning. “I’m here for a...new recruitment...I know it isn’t the season. But this ones out of exception, general. And I need you to have a good time with your new partner since you're also stressed...”
'Cal isn’t your partner anymore Collin.'
“Sir, I clearly stated after the hiatus that, I seriously am not going to have a partner ever again. Never.” The man sighs again and I know there is no backdoor to exit from this. No matter what I want.
'What happened to us Cal?'
He backs up towards the door and once again lock eyes with me for the last time.
'Cal is gone Collin.'
“Orders are orders Lin....And, I’m sorry for Cal...We’ll not let the search stop. Sector 3 is working on the case....Just wait.”
“Dar, we should let the Sector 3 handle-"
“Fine! Fine! We’re searching....”
One thing that I learned dealing with captives is that there is no better way to get them to spill than mentioning sector 3. The infamous sector of intelligence and interrogation. Nothing physically bothering but psychologically the most traumatizing place a criminal could be at. If this sick ass wants it that way, I’ll be giving that to him. No pun intended....
“Searching for what exactly?”
“White tiger...” Okay, I’m getting frustrated. This issue need to be solved immediately.
“I’m no zoo keeper, pal....Don’t try to enlighten me with your fantasies and zoology shit!”
My partner locks our gazes dead in the eyes before I could grab a fistful of the man’s hair.
“Lin he’s talking about something on the other side. We need to take this inside.”
I’m sorry, what? Inside? Like, to the head? So what if you want that mate? You thought I cared about that fucking animal species with your exotic imaginary superpowers? Live in the reality!
“Dar this isn’t a time to play hide and seek with bounty hunters! This man clearly is driving us in to the wrong direction. I’m tired of this fantasy shit of other side of a barrier that WE ARE MAINTAINING perfectly fine!"
“Then what is the wright direction, general?”
Cal didn’t question me like this, why can’t he?
“This is exactly why you all are so annoying! Listen here, I got a job to do and that isn’t chasing myths or...taking advices from my....subordinates. You hear me? Know your place-"
Before I could wrench my wretched mouth just by seeing how Darien stormed out of the room cursing, Someone came inside.
“Oh, general...so much fun in the first day with the new partner, wright?” what in the world is the EHO doing in my office...again? Wasn’t the first job you implemented on me enough? Partnering me with one of my best friend while I came loosing a one, empty handed? What’s wrong with these fucked up authorities? Is that a kink of y'all; ruining relationships?
At least there was another person who wasn’t so fond of his appearance in the office just as me, who choked on his breath struggling with all that chains and cuffs.
“General you may go outside...” Mr.EHO turned to me and gestured me to run along, unbothered by his untimely arrival. Jokes on yourself man! I had no right to question him.
“Sir....” I started.
“Ah, general I think you need to go after your partner....please proceed without me. I need to have a chat with our tiger hunter.”
Hope this assholes bond over this fantasy shit...I have my weeping man to console.
People has so much to ask when you finally step outside.
This is the reason why I hate being corridors, while I have my own perfect office room to keep my butt safe from judgement. Yet here I am outside the door of my own office like I doesn’t even belong to the third highest rank of the whole ass agency.
It feels like shedding my skin off in front of cannibals. Like how unacceptable that would be? There are things that should be done behind closed doors is all I’m saying.
And what the hell is Darien doing sulking? Ew at you bro, did your boyfriend dump you?
“Are you plotting a murder?”
I snapped him out of his trance and stood from his face inches away. He held the glare until I couldn’t keep the eye contact anymore.
"IM PLANNING ON TAKING YOU TO A THERAPY SESSION, HEAD-SWELLED OAF!" he pushed me in to the HOVER of him.
Does this one seriously suffer from any kind of borderline personality disorder?
