Fallen

37: A Mystery

"Ugh god, my back hurts"

Sana woke up in her seat and realized that it was already seven in the evening, guessing that her parents have already arrived from work. She went downstairs and sat on her seat at the dining table, waiting for dinner. Her mother then walked into the room, holding a glass of pineapple juice, "Oh hi Sana, how are the documents doing?".

"Already finished the required stuff, you guys just need to finish yours" she replied. The maids started to serve the food on the table and called her father upstairs who was watching the television. Not so soon, he came downstairs and ate with the family.

Sana stood up and carried her dishes to the sink, "I'll go back now.", she said and went upstairs to her room. It was already quiet, but the lights in the city gave loud vibrant noise, not letting any dark places left untouched. She jumped on her bed, tired and exhausted from overthinking, when she remembered about the guy she talked to earlier. 

Sana reached for her wallet on the bedside table and looked for the card that he gave her. 

'Jun-ji Archives'

"where the hell is that"

said Sana, as she groaned when she stood up and went to her laptop on her desk to look for it. After a few google map scrolling, she found the address, and it's basically where they store the country's documents in the late 1800's and some antique items too. It was already around eight, so she decided to take another nap since it was pretty early.

The phone was ringing in her bed, and she answered it right before the call ended. Sana picked it up, and placed it on her ear, and answered with a hoarse voice, "hello..."

"hey, you sure you wanna know more?"

"...what..."

"eleven pm, sharp"

"...what the hell are you talking about... wait..."

"what?"

"who's this?"

"you're. late."

"late for what?"

Then the call ended. Sana lifted her head up and looked at the bright phone screen, and it was an unknown number. She looked at the time and it was 11:09, then she realized that she was late. The girl took her wallet, phone and the box with her and drove quickly to the meeting place. There were still some lights on, so she guessed that there were still some people in there.

In front of the shack, she parked her car and brought her things with her as she walked along the driveway, and knocked on the gate.

"Is there still someone here?" she asked in a loud voice. A few moments later, someone opened the door and cued Sana to follow her. They entered in an isolated building in the lot, and found a few people, surrounding the table, and she saw the guy from today, sitting there, probably discussing something. "Sana's here," the girl said and they all looked at her.

"You're late," he said and stood up. "Go sit down, we've got plenty of things to discuss"

The girl followed and they started to fix all the documents needed to show when a man in a face mask entered the room and everyone kept quiet and sped up their work. "Sorry, I haven't introduced myself," the guy said, "I'm Jason, and that guy over there, I don't think I need to introduce him to you" 

The girl was confused, but she didn't need to let that bother her since she's never seen the whole face of the man yet. Jason handed out some folders to Sana and she scanned all of them.
