The Darkest Dream

Embark on Adventure

"Hey! mademoiselle? where are you going? is that your car?" point her then get off the truck. Lizzie glued to the man, her heart rustling warmly. The man she missed so much is now in front of her. If the mother was there, she was sure, she would cry out so hard.

"Uncle William?" muttered Lizzie quietly. (Chapter 7)

"Yes? you say something, miss?" william said carrying his equipment, apparently the middle-aged man was intending to repair a car that he thought belonged to Lizzie and her lover.

"No! lfs nothing. That?" point Lizzie at the toolbox that William is carrying.

"I want to fix your car, miss. Is your lover hurt?" William glanced at the man who never got out of the car.

Lizzie let out a tired sigh, "she's not my uncle's lover, she tried to run away after getting me dirty water. And see where he ends now?" Lizzie said in a loud voice. He deliberately made the man even more annoyed at her. Given that the man will be his hindrance in the future, it feels, Lizzie wants to be the bad guy by letting the man roast the blazing Mexican sun.

William turned his head towards the man who seemed to be holding back his annoyance at the girl in front of him.

"I'll keep helping him. You wait in the car, besides this car is impossible to repair manually. The Ringsek is very severe, luxury cars do not provide spare tires. You guys should get along for the next few hours." William's advice chuckled softly.

After a while, finally the man who was known as Alessandro was successfully removed from his luxury car. With the help of William, Alessandro is now sitting sweetly side by side with Lizzie. Both of them put a face full of hostility, William just shook his head to see the behavior of the two young people.

The journey is approximately 4 hours, only filled with silence. Every now and then Lizzie chatted with William, asking about his family. And he just found out, if the grandfather, Greg Bennett has passed away 5 years ago. And her aunty Joanna, has married and settled in Northern California.

This image of his uncle's family was indeed intentionally removed from his memory. As she was leaving Catalina, Lizzie buried all her memories there. Although not with the tragic incident, also everything related to the cruelty of the father's family.

"Thank you uncle" said Lizzie smiling sincerely.

"Together, son. Your smile remembered me to my other sister, not knowing where she was now. I miss him so much" William's face turned cloudy, remembering the fate of his sister who was either alive or dead.

"May I hold you, son" asked William to look expectantly.

"Of course" the two hugged, without William noticing that half of his misses had been treated. Lizzie put something in William's jacket pocket without the man knowing.

"I went uncle, thanks for the ride. Salama titip for uncle's family, dahh!" lizzie exclaimed as she passed towards the taxi base. He wants to go to California, armed with a fake identity created by Jeff. Lizzie will begin her adventure in the city.

Before the car left the city, Lizzie muttered softly. "I've come to challenge you, grandma!" Lizzie displays her venom grin. Over the next 20 hours, she will meet her grandmother. At that moment, Lizzie's life began to turn upside down, falling awake toyed with by a fate so cruel.

On the other hand, Alessandro cussed many times on the nurses and doctors who were considered incompetent to treat the wounds on his legs. Actually that was just his reason for venting his frustration at Lizzie. Maybe the girl ran away after taking her to the hospital, and her stupid assistant until now has not arrived.

"Master? can you calm down a little, your feet are being treated right now. If there is an error and infection. This beautiful leg of yours, I will willingly amputate. And be prepared to say goodbye to her." Said a young doctor, he was upset not playing, since Alessandro continues to curse them for no apparent reason. Now his patience is at the end of the mattress, he sleeps immeasurably, since last night's service he has not slept at all. Until now had to deal with one of the most annoying patients, throughout his history working as a general practitioner at the hospital.

Now she must have slept pretty under her thick blanket, but her colleagues had a little incident, inevitably she had to change her until 3 pm. Then at 8 p.m., he had to go back to his business hours without anyone noticing.

Alessandro was unmoved, why was this woman's mouth so sharp. He became more and more reminded of the annoying girl earlier, the faces of the two were almost similar. Hopefully not a brother, it could be unlucky the fate of the patients if this psychopath has many relatives similar to his behavior. Both annoying and bar-bar.

"Miss? miss?" the slow shaking on her shoulder made Lizzie wake up, her eyes twitching to adjust her gaze.

"Ah, yes. Of course, I also need a toilet to take a bath" Lizzie smiled faintly. He needs to worry about being left behind, the man he's already paid dearly for his trip.

Finished cleaning up, Lizzie walked into the store. Not too many people were eating their lunch. Lizzie immediately ordered food after getting a seat at the same table as the taxi driver.

"You've been used to traveling a long distance like this before?" lizzie's question made the driver turn his head and put his phone on the table.

"Often, I do this because I can make more money, rather than being a driver in the city alone. Although risky, but all this time, safe. I also do not want to accept stowaways, without asking for details about his interests, to be willing to travel tens of hours. File completeness must be primary, no matter if it is fake though. And again all this time, I've never received a passenger with an original file, so just relax. And with you it happens, miss." Kekehnya closed the brief explanation but quickly absorbed by Lizzie.

"You're right, the important thing is, be a good person. Sometimes being honest is not enough." Lizzie's light is full of meaning. The two fell silent again while enjoying their own dishes.

Lizzie was struggling with her own thoughts, while the driver was thinking about the wife who could have given birth without her company. The risk of work, that's what he always said, as an encouragement.

William had just arrived at his house, the man was greeted by the wife's warm voice.

"Willy? why are you coming home at noon like this? you make me anxious to await your arrival." Omel the wife put a glass of water on the kitchen table.

"I was helping a young couple on the road, the guy's car hit the side of a cliff and it was pretty bad. After that I drove the man to the hospital before going home. You know honey, that girl looks like my sister. You remember Cloey?" william looked at the wife with a gloomy face.

Julia who saw her understood, if the longing of the husband was already very big. Especially his late father-in-law. They don't know if Cloey and the kids are alive or dead. The explosion destroyed the entire building, leaving it unscathed. There were several pieces of the body but no one confirmed. Whether it's Cloey's family body or not. The investigation was done in a closed way, they were not even allowed to just approach the scene.

"We'll keep looking for their news until we can't afford it anymore. Joa always finds out about Cloey and her kids. We all miss them, it's just, fate hasn't sided with the will we want." Julia soft advice.

"Give me your jacket, there's a lot of stains. I hope those two couples didn't go straight into the ICU smelling the scent of your jacket." Julia's clumsiness melted the atmosphere that William followed.

While going to be put in the washing machine, Julia felt there was a kind of paper object behind the pocket of the husband's jacket. Worried about grinding the dollar, Julia immediately checked it out. But his forehead frowned deeply, just a fold of paper and after it was opened. There is a photograph showing a portrait of a family in the fold of the paper.

Once in the crease in the open, Julia's eyes glazed over. The middle-aged woman sat down crying, and hugging the photo was like hugging someone she missed so much.

William who was going to the warehouse, accidentally caught the sound of stuffing someone from the direction of the washing room. The man hurriedly walked into the room.

"Julia? what the hell's going on? why, don't scare me. Say anything?" insist William without pause. Her face was panicked, Julia had never looked so fragile even when her mother died two years ago.

"Cloe... Cloey was still alive." Julia's crying grew louder, William looked at the wife's hand that seemed to be grasping something.

William's throat feels dry, that girl? Lizzie. His face is not foreign.

"Stupidly this is your uncle, son. How could uncle not recognize your pretty face?" William chuckled with tears that flowed just as swift as his wife. Both of them cried happily, finally, the person they were looking for had they found even though they did not know exactly where.

Now they have a picture of where they're going looking for Cloey and her kids.
