Through The Dark

Chapter 12

                 I hurried behind Meghan as she suddenly stopped in the stairs.

"What is it?", I asked.

"Uh-wait, you said there was a powercut right... So nothing would have eventually been recorded. Ugh! why did I dash around in my nightdress so fast?", she frowned.

"Mmmm....makes sense. But for now let's just say the murderer came upto the factory to throw the body. What about the postmortem results?", I enquired.

"We'd be getting that in a couple of days. And what day is it today?", Meghan asked scratching her head.

"Monday".

"Monday..........MONDAY!!!! OH NO! And what time is it?"

"Uh, it's 7:30", I replied confused on why she was tensed so much.

"You gotta be kidding me..I'm gonna be late for my appointment ",she yelled running to her room.

"What appointment?",I asked.

"An important one", she said before closing the door to my face like she did the very first time of our meeting.

"Girls never change", I sighed.

Meghan's pov

   I scurried over to the empty table in the corner and took out my phone.

'8:01 am'.

"Huh just in time".

I wondered why someone would call for an appointment in a date inn.

A few seconds later, a man with black coat and sunglasses came over to me.

"Meghan?"

"Uh yea and you are?"

"The person you were supposed to meet up with; Mr.Patrick", he said offering his hand.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Patrick", I said accepting it.

He took off his coat and then his sunglasses. A sense of deja vu shot at me that second and I couldn't take my eyes off him.................the same cerulean eyes I'd seen over and over again.

Patrick's pov

"So the reason I called you here is because-", I  stopped, noticing that she was staring at me frozen. I gulped and waved my hand before her. She got off from her thoughts and apologized.

"I'm sorry I was just..........it was just that.....a sense of familiarity came over me like....those ey--, you know what, never mind. What was it that you were saying?", She asked shaking her head.

I took a deep breath relieved.

" I heard that you were the one to be investigating the murder cases in Tokyo-"

"Shh-Shhhhhh-Shhhh, don't let the other people hear it", she whispered under her breath.

"Well there's not many around. That's why I called you here.", I said scratching the back of my head.

"OK now how do you know I was the one? I thought it was supposed to be top secret", she  whispered as I wriggled myself closer trying to hear her.

"Well this whole murder operation was supposed to be top secret too, at the beginning. But sometimes you just can't conceal everything."

She nodded looking down.

"What are you looking down at?", I asked trying to peek.

"Oh this....it's the latest murder case I've been..........", she paused and stared at me without saying a word.
