DAD

Part 23

Next day

"Should we go to the man?" I asked her in the midst of Grammar class.

"Are you crazy? Two girls alone to a creepy man's place? Nope."

"Okay, then I'll go alone."

"That's even more UNALLOWABLE."

"But I have to."

"Take a guy with you." She suggested.

"Derek?"

"Yeah...maybe." She clipped a smile.

"I think I'll go alone."

"I was kidding, sorry about the smile take Derek along."

"No it's not your laugh, it's about me...I wan'na do this alone."

"But-but..."

"Please Alexa."

It's around half past 1 hour and, I think I'm gon'na go there. I take my car and drive to palm leaf avenue, where I've never been before. I had to ask a lot of people to get to there, certainly a too hard work. I was just scared of reaching the wrong place. Then I searched for the 567 number house and finally, got it.

I saw that person standing in front of the house. I parked my car outside and got off the car.

"I knew you would come alone." He smirked, which wasn't quite favorable.

"No you didn't; you're trying to act smart." I smirked back to make the pride-balance equal.

"Nice attitude, need more emphasis on the acting though."

I just rolled my eyes to that.

I took a seat on the table of his dining as I couldn't see any couch or living room around.

That creep sat just opposite to me on the same table.

"Ow shit... I forgot the gun." I whisper out but it came out too loud.

"That's fine. It was a pistol of model no. CX-782961, no?"

"How do you know?" I was astonished, quite much.

"It had a name engraved on it too...um-um, Dustix; in capital letters?"

"Excuse me? When did you see the gun?"

"And it had a broken silencer at its tip, which is quite old, isn't it?"

"Please? When did you see this? All of this?"

"And your name is Clementine."

This time I got shut up. This is crazy, how does this man know me?

"What should I say? Waters or Klein? Well, Mrs. Angelina Waters and Chris think Klein would look good, no? But what do you say?"

"Who are you?" I asked like a drunk lost person.

"Well..." He smirked.

"Why did you go alone? I had sent Derek." Alexa shouted.

But I was just sitting with a zip on my lips. Hard to speak a word.

"What happened? Answer me!?"

She came and gave me a quick shake by the arms. "Clem! What's wrong? Did he say you something?"

This made me talk.

"Alexa...he-he kn-kno-kno-knows me, my family.... the gun..."

"What? How?"

"He says he's a mentalist, a magician too."

"Fairytale bliss..." She rolled her eyes hard.

"No really and that day, when I told you that my brother came... it was him."

"The heck? Stop it!"

"He's name is Loslin Inferrerio."

"No way he's a double faced, Mr.-all-knower."

"Look..." I tried to make her believe to it.

She took the phone and called my brother from her number as he wouldn't take my call.

"Hello, Chris?"

"Yes, who's this?"

She put the phone on loudspeaker.

"Did you come to the oxford hostel in the last few days? Even for once? At night around 1:30 to 1:45?"

"Why would I?"

"It's Alexa anyway, but didn't you?"

"She's not our family anymore...I didn't go there."

Woah, it was really the 'the heck' !x999999999
