The Girl and The Murderer

68. Reunited 🍋

Do you guys see the lemon next to the title? Do you know what that means? That means we're gonna have fun 😏. Enjoy ! 😘.

After a long debate with Rachel's psychologists, Lenny managed to get her back home. Unfortunately, like the old days, when he got her from the old orphanage, she was suffering from recurrent nightmares and slept very little.

-You should take medicines Ray.

-No... I'm fine. Are you sure Zack is ok? And who is this woman who took him anyways?

Lenny, In those moments, seemed even more tired than her. She was asking that question everyday, and Lenny did not dare telling him he had no idea of who could this woman be or what she wanted. Or what she could have done to Zack.

-He is probably well. Judging by what you told me, he survived far worse than that.

-Then who are you calling every night? Certainly not to your lover. Then who? Please stop lying...

Her tears were falling down and the dark circles around her eyes made her more pitiful. Lenny took her in his arms and held her tight before letting out :

-To the police station. I'm looking for infos. You don't have to worry. I'll manage everything.

At the Deus Ex Machina's place

I'm tired of this room. It's really small and except for the girl coming to talk to me from time to time, there's nothing to do.

I would kill to see Rachel, just for a sec...

-Hey, Zack ? I think I can get you out now.

It's her again.

-I told you I'm not interested. Get lost.

She doesn't move.

-I told you! Ray is waiting for you! Now get up before I kick your lazy ass!

I get on my feet and press my head against the iron bars, ready to snap the girl's neck with my hands.

-Take it easy boy! I just wanna help you. So stay calm. Even though I know it's difficult to trust me, just rely on me ok ?

She covers my eyes and guides me to what seems to be a car.

Ok this girl scares me now. But I suppose that if she wants me and Ray to be reunited, it's that she is not that bad after all. She's even cute... From afar. She has red hair and the greenest eyes I ever seen.

-When you're done staring at me, can we go? Not that I really mind but you already have a girlfriend. So the faster we go, the faster you see her.

Rather small for a carbut I feel like if I say a word about it, I'll end up with a kick in the ribs.

-By the way, my name is Sally.

-Hmm. Zack.

-I knew it already. Anyways, I'll leave you one hour there while I'm discussing the details with Lenny. The we go back home.

Wait. Spend a bit of time with Ray and then just go back to the mad girl's house?

-And why would I come back to your house?

-Because it's basically the only place nobody will search because nobody knows where it is. Get out of the car, she's on the first floor. But you know the way I think.

It's been ten years since I've been here. But yeah I know the way.

I don't really need to search for it though. I follow Sally and she comes in without knocking. Lenny litterally jumps on her and starts asking her a million questions which I don't understand and don't care one bit.I saw Ray. And she saw me too. She points the stairs with her chin and a smile on her face.
