The Secret Admiral (#2 The Secret Series)

Chapter 1

The middle-twenty man groaned as he tried to open his eyes, his left hand holding his head that pulsated violently like it was about to break, while his right hand was used as a pedestal to get up.

"Damn!" He nodded when he felt the pain in his head. Her ears were faintly listening to music that was commonly found in baby toys hanging over their sleeping boxes. His forehead was wrinkled, his eyes anxiously looking around the illumination, ignoring the pain in his head he tried to stand to recognize the place where he was at the moment.

"Where is this?" His whisper was puzzled, for a while he tried to dig into his memory, and after his consciousness returned completely he felt a chill run down his spine, fear taking hold of him. He recalled the last incident when he got out of the bar and walked to his car, and suddenly someone smothered him from behind before his consciousness disappeared. Someone kidnapped him.

The sound of the music is now starting to sound very clear, the instrument music of the piano twinkle-twinkle children's song little star echoed inside the unused parking lot, his tone more slowly made it sound creepy. His eyes looked for the origin of the sound, slowly he approached the source of the sound that was at the darkest end of the building.

"Hello, is anyone there?" He asked nervously, but there was no answer. He walked slowly closer to the source of the sound, suddenly a dazzling light shone on his body, his right hand reflex raised shut his eyes from the light emanating from a vehicle before him.

"Hey! What are you doing?" He shouted while trying to see who was sitting behind the wheel.

His body was jolted backwards when he heard the sound of a vehicle engine roaring through the room, white smoke coming out of the rotating tire. In the glare he could feel the sharp glare of someone watching him like an eagle from behind the wheel, he could see the man wearing a black hat that partially covered his face.

"What do you want?!" He shouted again with a trembling voice, his feet stepping back slowly trying to escape. The sound of the car engine being gassed back roared made the man run away trying to dodge the vehicle chasing him. He kept running around the parking lot.

"Damn!" Shouted when he realized he was on the B4 floor which means he had to run up to escape.The vehicle was getting closer, after successfully climbing two floors, his breathing began to gasp, breathing heavily, his chest was burning, his legs were getting tired, but he should not give up at this time. With all his strength he continued to run zig zag dodge, until finally he staggered off balance and then fell.

In just a few seconds his body was trying to get back up was hit by a car that chased him earlier until it bounced a few meters, before finally the vehicle again grinded his body until twitched and finally remained motionless. The vehicle was now stopped, the engine was turned off, a person dressed in black got down from there whistling and playing a twinkle-twinkle song. He leisurely walked towards the lifeless body. He stood watching the bodies of his victims, a smile of happiness adorning his cold face, he crouched down, he squatted, his right hand grasped a stalk of white tulips with red patches which he then placed over the body of the man whose eyes were still wide as if looking at him. Casually his hand wrapped in black leather gloves rubbed his eyelids shut, before leaving his lifeless body whistling.

"BUT!" A single word of the director could make everyone breathe a sigh of relief, including Kerelyn Howard, the beautiful artist with her red hair looking so tired after shooting for almost 24 hours, and just sleep on the sidelines rest.

"Hey, you want to come with me, we're going to eat at The Most" Matt Kerelyn's associate in the FBI series said, embracing his shoulder casually.

Matt Foster, a handsome actor with a height of 190cm does look dashing with uniforms and FBI badges that become their costumes, the, he left his sturdy jaw on a thin beard and sideburn that added to the man's masculine impression.

"Thanks, Matt, but soaking in the bathtub and sleeping until noon tomorrow is more tempting to me than having a romantic dinner at this time" Kerelyn replied as she continued walking towards the dressing room.

Currently they are in one of the buildings of the Brooklyn area, the frenzy of the film crew who cleaned up the equipment and also the screams of the fans who called the name of his idol into a common sight for all of them. Matt waved and smiled showing his dimples as the crowd called out to him who instantly grew hysterical after seeing the man's grin.

"Keelyn!" A thin-bodied late twenties man with slightly curly black hair ran towards him in a hurry.

"Kerelyn, I'm sorry I couldn't take you home, Boss called me," he said with guilty eyes that made the woman before him take a deep breath, "You can take the car, I'll take the taxi, I'll take the cab," he continued after seeing the fatigue of Kerelyn who had to go home alone.

"For God's sake, Eddy, I can't afford to carry my own vehicle anymore. You see, I've been like a zombie" Kerelyn said with a bit of emotion from feeling so tired and now her manager told her to drive herself home to her apartment in the W 11th Ave area, yes, although it only takes 40 minutes in normal street circumstances but still he does not want to drive and stuck in the New York City street jam on Friday night in such conditions.

"I'm sorry, but he just called me and said there's something important to discuss" Eddy said with a guilty face, and inevitably Kerelyn can understand him because he already knows who Mr. Robert, whom they call Boss because he is the owner of the agency where he lives.

Kerelyn breathed heavily, her eyes already looking very tired, "I'm taking a taxi, you can take her car, but tomorrow pick me up for a photo shoot ok?"

"Wait!" Matt exclaimed, making a smile on Eddy's face disappear, "Give me the car keys, I'll drive him home. You're in my car, tomorrow we'll see you at the photo shoot" Matt continued, taking the car keys out of Eddy's hand in a hurry, his eyes were visibly riled up looking at his black Ford parked not far from them.

The sight of the man beside her draws Kerelyn and Eddy to gaze in the same direction as Matt, Eddy immediately whistled when he saw a short-haired sexy woman with a tiger fur coat and wearing a tight-fitting gown while leaning against Matt's black car door.

"You sure you want to miss that, Matt?" Eddy asked without taking his eyes off the woman who seemed to be waving her hands towards them and reply to Eddy with enthusiasm.

"Yep, tonight I'm so tired, so it's better to be stuck in a traffic jam than to have to spend the night with that tigress," matt said as he grabbed Kerelyn and pushed her into the dressing room, "Change your clothes, I'll wait for you in the parking lot and you, Ed, take good care of my car, ok?"

"Yes, Sir!" Eddy replied with a happy smile at being able to drive a limited edition Ford Shelby Mustang sports car, "What about that woman?"

As has been estimated the streets of New York tonight is very dense, the distance that should be traveled within 40 minutes now must be traveled within an hour more, Kerelyn had to fall asleep during the trip, until finally Matt woke him up when he reached the basement of his apartment parking lot.

"You're right, you look like a zombie" Matt said with a grin looking at Kerelyn who had just woken up and still looked very tired.

"Yeah, I think I'll just go to bed" Kerelyn said with half-circumcised eyes.

"Do you want me to carry you upstairs?"

Kerelyn smiled, she has known Matt for a long time, they are always juxtaposed in their series projects that have entered season 3, he said, and not a few were hoping they would continue their relationship in the real world, but Kerelyn knew very well who the man beside her was at the moment.

"No, thank you, you still have to continue the grueling journey again, so it's best that today you take a break for tomorrow's photo shoot if you don't want your handsome face to look like a panda tomorrow afternoon," he said with a smile, he was about to open his car door when he saw someone coming out of the basement glass door that just made all the tiredness disappear, "Thank you for driving me, see you tomorrow, Matt," he continued in a hurry, and as fast as lightning the woman came out of her white Alpard car which made Matt raise eyebrows surprised to see the reaction of his coworker.

"Didn't he say he was tired?" Matt murmured before he finally drove off.

"Daniel!" Calling Kerelyn made the walking man stop his steps, and smile when he saw who called him, "You want to go?" Kerelyn asked after standing in front of the man who tonight looks amazingly handsome. Yes even for Kerelyn Howard, Daniel Winchester always looks amazingly handsome even if only wearing a simple sweater in maroon and blue jeans.

"Yes," Daniel answered briefly with a smile.

"Dating?"

Daniel raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, if gathering with friends and sister on Friday night is considered a date. Then I'll go on a date."

Kerelyn's eyes shone on Daniel's words, a wide smile appearing on her red lips, "You're going to meet them?" Daniel answered his question.

"You just got home shooting?"

It was Kerelyn's turn to nod her head.

"You must be very tired, you'd better get some rest."

"No.. no fatigue at all," Kerelyn replied excitedly as she shook her head which made Daniel raise his eyebrows again with a smile, "I mean, I was already resting and sleeping before coming home," he continued while cursing himself for his exaggerated reaction.

"Good, you have to rest a lot and eat, too" Daniel said, looking at Kerelyn softly, "Alright, I'll go first and you can continue your rest," before entering his roofless blue Mustang, "See you later" Daniel smiled as he waved his hand before leaving Kerelyn, still standing, staring at his disappearance.

"I said, I'm not tired," he muttered weakly while breathing heavily before finally walking into the basement lobby of his apartment.

Daniel Winchester was indeed an almost perfect man with a height of 185cm, a well-built body, a short nose, black hair as color with his sharp eyes and made Kerelyn could not look at him for more than five seconds, not to mention his successful career as a photographer, cameraman and even he now serves as a producer on one of the largest television stations in America, in addition to his near-perfect physique and career, Daniel is a very kind, polite and affectionate man to his family. He even entered the ranks of the 10 sexiest men behind the camera version of People magazine, which made him more famous among women. But unfortunately his ability to guess the 'Signals' that the women gave him was very low.

That's what made Kerelyn sigh weakly and submerged herself into the hot water foam of her bathtub that had been dripped with therapeutic aroma oil, it's been more than three years they coexist, it was Daniel's apartment right next door that made the man know when Kerelyn's lover had committed physical violence against him, he cried out for help but no one listened to him but Daniel who broke down the door and beat Simon who was beating him almost lost consciousness, shortly thereafter the apartment security officer comes to secure Simon before the police arrive, seeing Kerelyn's bloodied condition make Daniel carry him to the Hospital even he looks after him before Eddy and his parents come.

Simon was sentenced to four years in prison, and Kerelyn herself had to undergo a period of trauma until undergoing therapy by psychologists for a year before she was finally declared to be recovering from domestic violence trauma. For a year he kept an eye on Daniel, the man, as usual, was friendly and courteous, which attracted Kerelyn's attention and began to search for information about his neighbor. He found out that the man liked strong black coffee, pancakes with rastbery jam and chocolate for breakfast, even knowing the size of his shoes and clothes.

But Daniel never considered him more than a neighbor where he never said a sentence longer than hi, good morning, good afternoon, good night and see you. And finally this past year Kerelyn is determined to approach him and has often given a sign that he likes the man of Indonesian-American descent, but it seems Daniel never understood with the signal he gave.

A chance came to him when a few months ago Daniel saved his life again, when a car almost hit him, fortunately the man pulled him down and injured his own hand, using that excuse Kerelyn forced him to take care of her even though Daniel initially rejected the idea, but it was not Kerelyn Howard's name if he had to give up, and from then on their relationship had a little progress not only hi and see you again, but now Kerelyn even knew the two twin brothers Daniel, Daniel, Emily is recently engaged to the heir to the Royal group, and Alexa works as a designer at one of the world's biggest fashion companies, not only that she also knows her friends. Arguably it was an incredible progress even though the man he really wanted to approach was unaware of his feelings towards the man.

"You have to show again your charm, Kerelyn," he said, wiping off the steam on the bathroom glass as he stared at his reflection in the glass and let out a faint sigh before entering the bedroom, then he dropped himself on the bed like a man fainted from exhaustion.
