The Night Hunter

CHAPTER 4

After returning from campus, Camila stopped at a convenience store (convenience store) because she saw a paper attached to the entrance glass that read 'Requires employees'.

Camila was interested in applying for a job there and she entered and then gave greetings to the store owner.

"Good day, sir. Is the announcement still happening?" Camila pointed her thumb towards the back. "Do you need employees?"

The old man fixed his glasses and watched Camila clingyly then smiled. "Yes, because the father was hospitalized, the father was forced to hire new people. Usually we take turns to keep this store," explained the shop owner at length.

Camila smiled broadly. "So, can I work here and adjust it to my college hours?"

The old man nodded. "certain."

Camila clapped merrily and repeatedly thanked him. This time he will not make the mother worried because he came home at night, he already has a job.

"Can you work today?" asked the old man reasoned to visit his son and pick up his wife to change clothes.has been two days the wife was in the hospital looking after her child.

"Good, sir."

"Just close the store when it's nine at night." The old man gave Camila a spare key.

Camila nodded while looking at the key in her hand. Thinking, it seemed like the old man had entrusted this store to him. He just worked.

Before leaving the old man explained everything about his shop, such as where the location or arrangement of household items, stationery, etc.

"Time to go home." Camila smiled as she glanced at the clock on her phone at 09.00 pm. He stretched his hands up to release his stiff muscles, then tilted his head to the right and to the left.

Camila straightened her head after putting her textbook in the bag. The girl gulped. He looked into those gray eyes. This is the third time he has met this man.

"You recognize me?" ask Liam to give his card to pay for the drink.

"I don't really know the people on campus" Camila said, giving Liam a drink and a card. On campus Camila is famous for being alone, not her who has no friends, but people stay away from her especially with her mother's work which makes her always bullied.

Liam approached then smelled a different scent of Camila than a human. He had not previously smelled this scent.

"Motel girl, do you remember me?" ask Liam to make sure.

Does he know that I remember what happened at that motel? Camila was surprised, but still conditioned her heart and expression to remain calm. "I don't understand what you mean."

Liam raised the corner of his lips then muttered, "Where might he remember." Liam unscrewed the bottle and drank it until half was left. "Oh." Liam, who was about to leave the store, turned around. "You know what happened to Cley?"

Camila clenched both her hands. "Why do people always blame me?" Unknowingly Camila's tears fell down her cheeks, she had been holding herself back from the moment to stay strong, but those damn tears came out as well.

Liam stepped towards Camila. Their distance is quite close, but limited to the cashier limiter.

"Hey, I don't blame you" said Liam gently as she wiped the tears of Camila that had soaked her cheeks. Liam was blown away for a moment, staring into black eyes as closely as that night and giving a subtle vibe in his chest. I was just curious about Cley's death and I felt guilty leaving him at the time. I checked it out, there's no giggle marks on Cley's body except ...

"Are you done? It's time for me to go home." Camila kept the man's hand away from her face.

Liam nodded. After all, he will also patrol the area here.
