B.L.O.O.D (BlackRose)
Twenty Five
The next day, in the Alpine region. Jessica's Home.
Arnold drove the Aston Martin silver car he was driving at high speed through the Bay Brige, as it passed through the forest on the Nevada border, he looked towards the forest that spread with its breadth. Yosemite National Park is one of the vast wilderness areas, incorporating several other forests, including El Dorado and Tahoe. As Angel's memories flashed through his mind, the murderous girl who had never seen the beauty of the surroundings. The girl who only sees blood for her entire life, without realizing how happy she can be to spend time with her loved ones.
“ Rose, Jessi would love to see you coming. If you were here. “ murmured Arnold.
Arnold arrives at Jessi's house, parking his car among the towering grass. Arnold did not feel worried if his car was damaged or blisters hit by tree thorns, he was worried if anyone followed and knew his whereabouts. The problem isn't Arnold himself, it's Mike's family's safety.
A woman was busy watering a flower pot in the courtyard, Arnold approached and reprimanded her in a friendly voice.
“ Good morning Jessi, what is the breakfast menu this morning? . “
Jessi turned her head and turned around to greet him kindly. “ Oh. Arnold Morell, you came early in the morning. “
They hugged for a moment, before long two small children chasing each other. One of them bumped into Arnold, and laughed as their uncle chased after him. “ Wow.., where are you going, here.. “
“ Run.., there are monsters. “ they shout and run while laughing.
Arnold is styled like a giant monster, chasing the children to the backyard. Jessi finished her work and went inside the house, from the back door she screamed Arnold.
“ Morell, come here. There's cake for you. “
Arnold was still rolling on the ground, and the children continued to wrestle with him.
“ Noah, Stephen. There's your favorite bean cake. “
As soon as they heard the peanut cake, the children immediately got up to run towards the dining room. Arnold stood up, scavenged the clothes on the ground, stepped into the chair and sat down. As he was about to take a piece of cake his hand was hit by Jessi using a centong.
“ Don't be Mr. Morell's little boy, see Noah and Stephen wash their hands first. You have to follow their good behavior. “
Arnold smiled mischievously, he again tried to take the cake. But the plate was pulled by Jessi. “ I told you, wash your hands. I don't like it when you complain of stomach pain from eating with dirty hands. “
Arnold obeyed Jessi's orders, with a face scowling like a child who was not given an ice cream ration. The children were sitting neatly at the dinner table, eating Jessi's peanut cake voraciously. Arnold ate the chocolate cake available, muttering with happiness.
“ Your chocolate cake is indeed the best Jessi, I think this is the best medicine I have ever met. “
“ Do not talk much and eat only, after that tell me what your problem is. “
The children had finished their cake, and started tidying up the dishes they had eaten by taking them to the sink.
“ Smart kid, you have to be like them Morell. “ Jessi turned to Arnold, Arnold just kept quiet while continuing to eat chocolate cake. Jessi turned around to look at her children.
“ Children, go play in the room only, uncle and mother will have business. “
“ good mom. “ Noah said as he pulled Stephen's hand towards their room.
“ Submissive children, maybe I will have one of them. “ Arnold said as he bribed the last piece.
“ Soon marry Morell, then your woman will give you a pair of sweet children like them. “ Jessi replied with a satirical tone. “ By the way, where was the girl yesterday?. You didn't bring her here?. “
“ She's gone, I lost her. “
“ Oh's... I'm sorry, did she leave you like any other girl. Take it easy, you are young and handsome many girls want to marry you. “ Jessi stood behind Arnold and patted Arnold on the shoulder attentively.
“ Don't think Nonsense, we were just partners, He killed one of my colleagues, and now he's running away. “
“ May. “ Arnold was silent for a while as his eyes glared, Jessi's opinion had a point. And indeed all this was just a mistake, he had received the wrong file. That's why he killed Arnold's partner and best friend, which left Arnold shaken.
“ I'm sorry for your friend's death. And may I ask, that girl. You like it?, I guess. From the look in your eyes full of worry, you know sometimes... “
Not yet had Jessi finish her speech, Arnold immediately switched the conversation. “ Where's Mike?. “
“ Oh.., he's out, he said he'd investigate Mathew's death. “
“ So yes, yesterday Mike informed about Martin's death in Las Vegas. I came here to find out. “
“ Are you sure Mike called?. “ Arnold was a little surprised to hear a statement from Jessi. “ Ah.., I mean his cell phone, lost while visiting you the other day, he came home upset. He said on the way home he met a rogue child, shortly after a man hit him. And once I got home with the cell phone and his wallet gone, I think he was in the pickpocket. I told him to call you right away, but he said later. He also said that he forgot your phone number. “
“ Impossible, are you kidding me?. “ Arnold rise to his feet gives off a strong sound of friction.
“ Calm down Morell, maybe you just saw it wrong. The number at that time, could be your other friend calling. “
Arnold opens the phone, sees the list of last calls. And it turns out to be true, the one who called yesterday was Mike. He also recalled the voice of the man who called using Mike's phone yesterday, but his memory was messed up. Yesterday he was too focused on Angel's safety, and instead ignored his brother's safety.
“ Since when did he leave?. “
“ Yesterday, the last time I saw Mike he was so excited. He said the truth will be revealed. He had already come to his own conclusions, and he needed to go to the house of Mathew's late wife to gather evidence. After that he'll meet you, I've convinced him not to bring this up again. After all Alice was able to accept the fact, I often visited the woman. What a poor woman, she only lived alone with the child. “ Jessi spoke at length with a tone full of concern and worry.
“ Will Mike be okay?, ah... It's not that I look down on Mike, you know my husband has a strong determination and ambition. His ability also cannot be underestimated, I still remember when we were on duty. He fought fifty people at once, unarmed with a barely broken leg. “ Jessi tried to console herself, but a mist of fear enveloped her mind.
“ Don't worry, I guarantee Mike will be fine. I'll be looking for her own whereabouts, she might still be at Alice's. “
Arnold let Jessi lean on his shoulder, he patted gently on the woman's shoulder. Mike is a stubborn guy, Jessi is a lot tougher than that guy. But love, makes Jessi lethargic. He transformed from a cruel Wolf into a gentle Podle dog. While Mike remains a Terrier, who can not stop when it sniffed the target.
“ Jessi, can you tell me where Alice is staying?. “
Jessi raised her head, she sat back in an upright position. “ It would be better if I drove you. “
“ How about the Children, who will take care of them. “
“ Morell, if Mike is in danger for successfully uncovering the identity of the perpetrator. It means Alice and her child are also in danger, regarding our children inviting them to participate. After that the five of us will go into hiding to save ourselves, not that I'm not worried about Mike. Mike's a great guy, I know that. As for Alice, she was only a weak woman. She doesn't even know what kind of job her husband died in, at least I can look after them all. “
Arnold was silent and thought, Jessi's words had a point. If Mike is caught, it means Jessi and her children are also in danger.he is not too worried about Alice, but Mathew is her best friend
it's his family too.
“ Alright, take with you and the kids. Just bring what you need, we'll get Alice. After that I'll take you to the hiding place. “
Jessi smiled, she rushed to call her children.
“ Noah, Stephen. Pack your things, we'll take a vacation. “
Noah and Stephen followed his mother's advice, cheering with excitement on knowing they were going on vacation. Everything was packed neatly, Arnold put it all in the trunk. The children were sitting in the back seat, Arnold was sitting in the driver's seat and Jessi was sitting next to him. They boarded a black Honda Odyssey owned by Jessi.
“I'm sorry Arnold, but your Aston Martin won't be accommodating enough for us all. “
Arnold smiled, he started the car, stepped on the gas and left Jessi's house.
