Azure~
I ran after him because I needed to know the truth. My curiosity was burning inside of me and I needed answers. I dashed after him down the long hallway. Steven turned around at my loud running and his eyes suddenly awoke and he started to speed walk back to his office, trying not to catch attention from other workers.
I finally somehow I caught up to him. His speed walk is my running. My hands are suddenly on my knees, breathing heavily. He comes to a halt and turns around and takes a glimpse at his watch "Get back to work Azure, work doesn't end in another five hours" I take a peek at him and his face is stricken. Out of breath, I try to comprehend my words.
"I know what you said, I heard everything" I recite the exact words that he said "What are we going to do with her? She is starting to figure out the codes. We can't let this happen. We need to act and we need to do it now" I finally take the courage and look straight into his dark brown eyes. He narrows his eyes at me and he raises and eyebrow. I narrow my eyes back at him.
"Don't act like you don't know what is happening." I take his hand and roughly pull him back to his office. It takes a while to pull him back since he is double the size of me. "I want answers and I want them now. Oh and also don't try to lie, that ain't gonna work on me"
Eventually, we make it back to his office and I make Steven sit in the chair opposite me, with me being in his usual seat. His chair is very warm and low down. I awkwardly take my hand and feel under the chair to lift my chair up. After the awkward silence, I place my hands on the table and cross my legs.
Interrogation time
I take a deep breath in, "Steven, please explain to me, what is happening? I'm seeing codes everywhere and you, the code on your neck. The colour Firebrick, red. What is it?" His hand abruptly goes to his neck that is poorly patched up with makeup
Swiftly, he stands up from his chair and speed walks to the mirror. He takes a close look at his neck and his eyes widen. His hands are now on his blazer, lifting it up so it covers the code.
"And the visions I've been having, I- I can't even comprehend them, they felt so real, and the boy who apparently 'fell from the sky'" I look up to him, desperate for answers, still feeling his intense vibes, I still continue on, pushing him even more "And the time we saw the code in the hospital, I know you saw it but how come the nurse wasn't able to see it, and why is your code red and everyone else is blue, and your waiter, he's in it as well. He's yellow, Saffron. And your reaction to the little boy, you acted like you hated him, and you don't even know him!? I know that you don't know him, don't act like you do
"I know you know all the answers to the questions, don't try to pretend not to" I felt my face heat up and my hands were in fists, my nails piercing into my skin. His face was scared, petrified even. He closes his eyes for a few seconds then comes sits opposite me again.
My chair slowly descended down again. Am I that fat? I take my hand and go under the chair again and awkwardly adjust the chair, lifting myself up. I fix up my dress again, taking the hem of the dress and pulling it up to my knees. I suddenly felt a weird, out of place box underneath the table. For a second I though it has something to do with the actual table, but as I felt around with it more it felt odd, like a keypad.
Ignoring I lifted my hand back onto the table and looked over at Steven. He breathed out a breath of defeat and takes a seat opposite me, his eyes bore into mine. "You need nothing to do with this. This information is all private and you need not to know, you have the right not to know. You will find out, soon enough." My eyes still bore into his own. We stay like that for few more minutes until someone barges through the door.
I was expecting one of Steven clients but it wasn't, it wasn't Luke, or it wasn't Steven's waiter. It was Aaron. Immediately, I stand up to walk out of the room when Aaron comes up to me and randomly hugs me. I awkwardly freeze into place when he starts talking "I've been looking for you everywhere Maeve, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. I've been missing you every day. That prison was a dreadful place and when I escaped, it wasn't in time, you were gone" My eyes widen at the information he is giving to me.
I instantly push him away and he loses his balance and stumbles but manages to gain it again "I don't even know you and you come running in here and hugging me?! What is this? A sort of prank?!" Aaron looks down to the floor concentrating when his face begins to flare up.
"He did it, he did this to you I wasn't fast enough, when I escaped your memory was lost, you were a whole different person" I shake my head and frown in confusion. He must have mistaken me for someone else.
"I'm sorry but I think you have mistaken me for someone else" I look over to Steven for desperate help. And that is when I realise that Steven's face was becoming redder by the second and looked like he wanted to punch someone. I backed up away from until I come to a halt when I hit the wall.
And before I knew it, Steven was up on his feet, across the room coming towards me. But when he was a few meters away, he didn't aim for me, but his hand gathered strength and went straight for Aaron, punching him right in the jaw. I scream aloud, not expecting that to happen.
All of a sudden, Aaron is on the floor, hand on his jaw and wincing in pain. He narrows his eyes to Steven and punches him straight in the face. Steven stumbles back but achieves balance once more. Steven takes his hand and wraps it around Aaron's neck and pushes him to the wall, making a small gap in the wall. I cry out in agony and run over to Aaron to help him. I take my hand and try to separate them, failing. "Steven, stop it! What are you doing!" He turns to me, his eyes still enraged with bitter and as I was about to step back, when he catches up with me and slaps me across my face.
Before I could catch up with the present, a blurred code comes in mind #8EECBEC but I ignore it, already used to seeing it. I howl out in pain and my hand is on the side of my face with my cheek throbbing in pain. I look up to Aaron and his eyes soften on me "Go! Run! Get out of here! Take Luke" I run out the door, hand still on my cheek and I run back to my office and see Luke still drawing.
I grab him by his arm and carry him up in my arms, again running out the door right past reception and out through the main entrance. I break into a sprint with Luke still in my arms. I take a glance at his face to find it not blankness, but confused and surprised. Once in the car I taking off with Luke beside.
What have I gotten myself into?
