17. Quiet Night

(Tiffany's view)

I don't know if Aiden's safe.
It's 8:00 p.m. and I'm going home now. Teresa and I will have breakfast tomorrow. I don't know how to talk about Aiden to her. I think I may not leak out too many informations about him. It will bring troubles somehow...

I finally get home.
Putting on nightgown, I lean forward to my bed. It's abnormally quiet tonight.
I pick up my phone, and want to call Aiden. But I hesitate... I'm afraid that it'll become a disturbance to him. So I decide to call Nicky.

"Hello?" Nicky says.
"Hey, this is Tiffany. How are you doing?" I say and change my posture.
"Hi! I'm glad to hear you. How about you? Is Aiden with you?" She says.
"No, he went away after driving me to university." I reply.
"I see... He must be doing some troubles. Don't worry about him. He will be fine." She says and sighs.
"Ok, I understand. Thanks." I want to cheer her up so I suggest. "Oh, by the way. Are you free tomorrow? I'm making plan that we can do a bit shopping, or have a lunch..."
"Of course! But I have chorus practice tomorrow morning to afternoon. How about having dinner together? Just you and me. It will be great!" She sounds really excited.
"Sure! And you can bring Jackson with us. I want to see him, too." I say.
"Talk about Jacks... I will be back home until night, so I can't look after him all day. Can you please take care of my baby?" She asks.
"That's fine. Don't worry, I'll take good care of him. When will you take him to me?" I accept with no doubt.
"Oh, thank you so much! The practice will start on 8:00, so I'll send him to you on 7:30. Which street do you live?" She says.
"Desplaines Street. I'll send a message to you with my home address and the restaurant information we'll go tomorrow!" I say.
"Awesome! I'll wait for you. See you tomorrow!" She says happily.
"See you, too! Good night." I hang up the phone.

I have no class tomorrow. And I better tell Teresa that we'll have a cute little boy eating breakfast with us!
I go to the living room, and turn on the TV.
The ownership of this house is my mother.
She gave me this house when I graduate from university in San Jose.
Unlike me, Teresa is a local in Chicago.
When I got here three years ago, Teresa was the first one who talked to me.
She took me everywhere.
Now we are postgraduate at the University on Chicago.

"Hey, Teresa! Remember the meet tomorrow morning? I'll have a surprise!" I call Teresa.
"Oh! Oh! Let me guess... You'll bring the Vigilante with you? Ha! I've already prepare for that..." She's more excited than me.
"No, no... Not him!" I suddenly remember that I haven't call him...
"I'll bring a little boy named Jackson. He's nephew of..." I can't tell her his true name, not now.
"Whose nephew?" She asks.
"Of the Vigilante. For some reasons, his sister want me to take care of him." I explain to her.
"Really!? You met his family!? How a great news!!!!!" She sounds like screaming.
"Haha, calm down my dear. I'll tell you tomorrow. We'll meet at the breakfast shop where we usually go!" I say.
"Ok! When?" She asks.
"On 8 o'clock. See you!" I say.
"I get it, see you too!" She says and hangs up the phone.

I send a message to Nicky and tell her where will we meet tomorrow.
It's 11:00 now. I begin to worry Aiden.
'Authorities at Chicago Correctional Center are triple checking their security protocols today after a prison break' the reporter in TV is broadcast.
I turn up the volume, and listen carefully... I have a bad feeling.
'... Facts are sketchy, but we do know that at least one prisoner managed to make it past all security checkpoints. Fortunately, Chicago's finest apprehended the prisoner shortly afterward. John Smith, 34, has been remanded in custody. His lawyer says his client is a victim of mistaken identity.'
My heart beats fast, and I decide to call Aiden.

When I pick up my phone, someone calls in, it's Aiden.
"Hey, Tiffany. It's late. Do I bother you?" He says.
I'm glad to hear his voice and it seems that he is alright.
"Yeah, I just finish everything and I'm gonna sleep. Are you OK? The news reporter said that there is a prison break tonight. And I'm worry about that. I thought that it was you." Although it's rude to say that, but I just want to make sure.
"Oh, it really is. But I already deal with it, don't worry." He says calmly.
It surprises me, but I choose to trust him.
"Ok, no one got hurt, right? By the way, Nicky and I will have a dinner tomorrow. And she told me to take care of Jacks tomorrow morning. And I accept!" I tell him all the thing.
"Oh, really? It sounds great! Nicky must be very excited for it." He sounds relieved...
"Haha, me too! Don't worry about us. We'll have fun!" I say to him.
"All right. If there is any problem, call me. I'll be right there." This makes me feel warm and safe...
"I know, thank you. Good night." I say.
"Good night." He hangs up the phone.

I lay down to sofa and close my eyes, recalling the conversations several minutes ago.

(Tomorrow 7:00 a.m.)

I get up ealier and take a shower.
I take on a blue dress, and a white coat. Checking my appearance through the mirror.
"Great! Everything is going to be amazing!"
I go down to the gate and wait for them.

It's 7:50. I've waited here for 20 minutes, but I didn't see them...
I walk around and look for them. But still see nothing.
Where are they? Are they in traffic jam or something?
I call Nicky. .................... She doesn't take on the phone.
Oh no, why I feel nervous?
I should call Aiden.

When I press the button on keyboard, Aiden calls in.
While I want to ask him, he screams out "Tiffany! Don't go to Nicky's house! She's in danger! Go back to your house and hide! Wait for me!" Aiden says it loud and keep saying.
"Don't go out and keep hiding. I'm afraid that he will hurt another one."
I'm too astonished to understand what he says.
"Oh my god.. but..... Who did this??" I ask him.
"It's Damien." He says and sighs.
