Sleepless

"Cyra.. Cyra!" My eyes snapped open when I heard a loud voice next to me, making me rub my eyes and face at the familiar voice that said my name.

"Oh.. Tyler..? What is it..?" I yawned, leaning my back a bit while I stretched my arms.

"You've been sleeping on your papers from 8 AM to 10!" He sighed in frustration, crossing his arms while his eyes are still on me. "And please don't tell me you haven't slept last night..?"

I remained silent, still trying to process my mind as to how I could respond from this.

"Just.. Let me think.."

"But-"

"TYLER!" I yelled, slight panic present in my voice when I remembered what happened last night.

I just couldn't tell him what happened last night.. If anything, I need to calm down..

He was silent for a moment, and then replied in a slightly calm yet low voice. "I'll.. Prepare the coffee.." He soon left, making me feel bad for yelling at him.

I let my hands rustle on my hair, my elbows on the desk as I tried to think this through. "This is not it, chief.." I muttered, tired but guilty.

I soon started to reminisce what happened last night, trying to retrace my memory from the previous line..

".. I wonder what would happen if I.. Oh I don't know.. Give Luna a little visit.."

"You wouldn't dare!" I yelled out in anger, my grip surprisingly has not broke the stun gun.

"Oh, but I would, I'm afraid! You see.. Not many people know about the BOLO's.."

"What do you mean?!"

"What I mean is, people like Luna only have certain access to some information, especially wanted ones.."

I couldn't believe my ears; He has got to be lying!

"My friend said that everyone by now should-"

"How suspicious! Since when did he have his hands and eyes on a BOLO?"

"He.. Said that everyone has it.."

I could hear him chuckle from the other side, yet it was not from good intentions..

"Oh.. How foolish can you be..?"

What.. Does he mean..?

"I'm afraid you're the one in real danger this time, I'm afraid.. Don't say I didn't warn you.."

"Wait, hold up- are you talking about Tyler?!"

"I'll let you go, for now! Got to take a visit to poor Luna, after all~"

"No! Dont you dare..!"

But it was too late.. For he was already out of this house.

My head started to ache a bit, but the retracing of those series of events soon started to become clear to me..

".. I need to get to Luna..!"

My worry starts to swirl almost out of control, my tired state is begging me to take a long, sweet nap.

But if I dont finish these then what? So the only solution is that, if I could get these papers done, then..!

"Here's your coffee-"

I took the cup and downed it all in one attempt, my throat begging for sweet mercy. I ignored it and suffered the consequences, as it stung due to the hotness of the liquid.

But even then, that didn't stop me from what I have to do. I started to do the papers, despite my head begging for me to take another long nap.

I can't.. I need to tell Luna about what happened..!

I thought to myself, though another set of thoughts start to enter.

What does Tanner mean by danger..?

Does that mean Tyler is something more than just a roommate..?

Why did Tanner told me that..? Is Tyler really dangerous like what that nutjob said..?

And the BOLO part..

I soon slowed down.. A pang of slight fear and unease start to form when I think about what that man said yesterday..

Was he really talking about Tyler, or someone else? No, he should have been, since I did slip it from my tongue..

If so, what's Tyler hiding..? Is there something that I dont know..? Something that requires diligence and hard work or something..?

With a stack of papers on my hands, I settled them near the table and scan through the necessary specifics, hoping that my time in the office won't take me long to get to Luna first..

.. Before he does...

Heading to the hospital after a few sluggish stumbles due to lack of sleep and all that, I was soon infront of the door.

The halls of the hospital are dimly lit, doctors and people alike walk through the white walls and floors.

I took a deep breath and turned the knob, slowly opening the door.

There was Luna, all safe and sound, sleeping so comfortably and yet, this gave me so much anxiety when I thnok about the dangers outside.

It has only been two days... And yet everything felt like it was just gonna drown me in to the heavy dose of insanity..

Except I refuse. Once I get this out of the way, I'll just need to let Luna know as she has some ties since she leads the Crime watch program.

I won't let anyone get to me, nor will I get myself to any sort of further danger once I have to go.

And I better hope that it will stay that way. If not, then I'll have-

"Cyra..? Why are you just standing over there..?" I heard Luna yawn out to me, making me snap out of my thoughts and shake my head.

"Lulu.. I think I'm having quite a long list of strange things that just happen in a span of two days.." I sighed heavily, letting myself sit next to her.

She seem to be interested, as she is still attentive to what I'm about to continue on.

"A Russian kidnapper almost got me, I got myself a stun gun after calling 911 on him, and the man that I told you that helped me in the train.. Is a wanted murderer on the BOLO's.."

It was silent for a while, but I soon let myself prepare for Luna's upcoming outrage, but nothing came out.

Instead, she sighed and gave me a look, where it's a mixture of seriousness and concern.

"Cyra.. I think it's time to tell you what's happening.."
