BEHIND THE MASK

chapter six (knowing the truth about Angel )

Sly's pov ,,,,

I drive on the highway with a top unlawful speed, i look at Angel and her curiosity. He was indeed curious about me as everyone would.

I steal a glance, it wasn't stealing because she was staring at me like a dumb.
Where do you stay ? I ask, knowing where she stays though. I look at her and i realize she was a bit frighten.
I pull up to a stop, . Are you alright? I ask.
Yea, she said looking at me.
Can i ask you something? She said s as if frightened.
Go ahead, ask anything. Who are you? She demands.
I look in her eyes and my heart skip a beat. I'm a psycho only waiting to rescue pretty girls, i said trying to release her fear.
What? !!! She shouted which frightened me and burst into laughter.
Any other question? Yea, she said and i stop myself from starting the engine. Last time when you saved me, Why did you leave? I wanted to thank you but i found myself in someone's home.
Ahh that guy ? I said sarcastically. Do you know him ? She ask.
No, but i saw him taking you i lie.

I think you will be save here i said and hop down from the limo.
Thank you , she said as i walk away, i wanted to turn and respond but i let it go and continue my way.
I hid behind a wall watching her enter the hotel where the sirens had already been making the noise.

I run back home, and change into fine clothes.
I enter my room, i take a look at my phone and the missed calls made me want to throw away the phone but it wasn't Nora's fault to call so much.

I call her back, my feign sleeping voice was perfect.
Hello :
Sly ? Where are you? !!!!! The shouting from Nora frightened me even though i know why.
I'm sorry , i fell asleep right after getting home, but did something happen? I ask feigning innocence.
Yea, come over if you can . She said before hanging up.

What happened? I ask with a shaking voice.
I hold her in my arms doing my best to comfort her.
Nora told me what had happened, it was a repetition to me, but i listen to it all over again.
So who did you say saved you? I ask , eagerly to know.
It was the guy in the mask, who saved me the other time she explains.
Owww ,,, is he some kind of a stalker? Why does he appears everywhere you are? I ask curiously.
I don't know, maybe he is sent from heaven to protect me, she said and i remain silent for a bit.
I nodded and feign a smile. So did you call your dad? I ask knowing, Nora had already done it.
Yea i did Nora butt in and i was not surprise.
Then,,,, ? Yea we are going back to Philadelphia tomorrow, Nora said and hit me like thunder, i felt some loneliness even though they were here. I don't really understand myself, why am i like this? Are you also curious? Yea i know you are but i myself know the answer not.

The police had done a good job protecting the hotel that night, my heart was empty, my thought were only on Angel, i felt like bursting at the thought of her leaving. If i could, i would have stop her but that won't benefit her.
As i thought of this, i remember the conversation by Jack and his comrade, that wasn't all, the talks that the chief said at the shore. What does it mean? Is Angela's father some presidential candidate? The thought made me change my mind of letting Angel go without seeing her.

I glance on my watch ant it was quarter to 7pm, i think there is still time to meet her. But what? Am i stupid or something? Am i going to reveal myself to her or what? The sudden thought hit me and i realized how stupid i am.
Then i can ask from where those guys chase me, no no no , she will get suspicious if she is smart and i can't risk myself for. As i think hard as to how to ask her about this, the thoughts runs through my head, stupid and unimaginable thoughts.

The fact that i don't have any idea about her made me more worried, i have been too stupid to not ask the reason why those guys were after him, it isn't like i even thought of.
Hiding my identity isn't easy at all. Knowing the answer to a question you want to ask is tough.
But whatever, i have to ask her.
