My last thoughts

"Hey, what happened? You were screaming suddenly."

He asked softly while creasing my wet cheeks.

I didn't know I was crying.
"T-Travis." I whimpered.

"Hey. Shh. Hey it's okay."

He patted my head which rested on his chest while murmuring soothing words.

My heavy breath came to normal after a few moment. We sat on the bed as he handed me a glass of water.

After gulping the water I tried to collect my scattered thoughts and fixed myself. It was still six thirty. I still had fifteen minutes more.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. I just..I remembered something. That's it." 

I nodded and wiped my ruined cheeks .

The skin that covered my face tightened even more and the makeup that I used to match my skin color has disappeared with my tears.

I cursed silently as all of my hard work has gone in vain.

Travis sighed and raked his fingers through his wet hair.

"Meet me after ten minutes. I'll be waiting outside."  His voice suddenly became so distant that it hurt to see him like this.

But I ignored it as I watched him headed towards the bathroom.

Sometimes, you gotta let go of your emotions and learn to ignore them.

Sighing wistfully, I walked towards the mirror and picked up the pallet to start everything from scratch.

"He knows who I am." I murmured, my eyes trained on the expensive window of the car, staring at the running road we are leaving behind.

" I'm not surprised. It was bound to happen."  Travis spoke, eyes focused on the road ahead of us.

My eyes harden at his forwardness.

"Yeah, I don't think so you'll be surprised when our cover gets blown up, right?" I sneered.

A smirk made it's way towards his lips as he shook his head as a negative response.

"I don't think he will do anything even he comes to know that we are here for another reason. That man will not  care unless it comes to his daughter and the case he is assigned into. So stop worrying."

"How you can be so sure?" I asked.

"Do you think that we are that dumb to sit around and and know nothing about the man we will be working with?"

"No. But what makes you think that he won't go against us?"

"Because he took this case, the same reason we took this."

"He lost someone close to him on the forest of Riles?"

"Closest. His lost his wife on district seven, another road that is surrounded by that forest."

My eyes widened slightly. He lost is wife. His daughter lost her mother when she's just a five year old.

The form of a faceless woman came into my mind, a woman who was taking care of her daughter, smiling at her husband, having a  family time on every Sunday night.

But now, all of them are just mere thoughts.

"Oh." I only managed to say, my eyes cast downwards.

"Looks like he is as passionate as us. But what about the mysterious seventh member? Who is that?"

"We still don't have any idea. Melissa is trying hard to find any information about the seventh member but looks like there is no single prediction of who it could be."
