The Secret Admiral (#2 The Secret Series)
Chapter 19
“Are you still upset?” They are currently in an apartment elevator, because Kerelyn's schedule is empty today so they decided to go for a walk out and Kerelyn desperately needs it at the moment. He was still overwhelmed with feelings of disappointment towards his sister, he trusted her so much but it turned out that his sister could not even resist the temptation of a seductive woman.
“I, just feel disappointed.I trust him too much that he will not hurt women,” Kerelyn replied while leaning her body on the elevator wall, and Daniel was very understanding of his feelings.
“You know, I don't think it's Ethan's fault entirely.”
Kerelyn looked at Daniel not understanding what the man was saying.
“Do you defend him now? Basic men are the same,” said Kerelyn while shaking her head which made Daniel smile.
“I must admit your sister is a very handsome man, so it's no wonder that many women will do anything to get close to her, and as far as I can tell Lexa that she is.. yeah call him an expert in conquering men, while Lexa? Well, sometimes he is less sensitive to things like that, he often does not realize that there are men who like it, he considers all men only limited to friends and lover status only status, only status, and our mother educated the twins with her eastern customs, they should keep her honor only for their husbands.
Kerelyn should have known considering the blood of Asia with the customs of the eastern, you know, the twins will not have free sex before marriage and it is rare in a country where freestyle living has become a habit and commonplace among young people in western countries.
“I'm sure Ethan is a normal guy, and he lives in a world where there are so many temptations with sexy and beautiful women.”
“But that's not a reason, if indeed he can't stand it and wants to do it, why didn't he decide on Lexa first and then he can relate to any woman he wants.”
Daniel was silent for a while, “You were right, he was wrong.aah I should have hit him,”, said Daniel with a smile who immediately got a shot from Kerelyn, he then grabbed the girl by the shoulder as he walked out of the elevator towards the parking lot.
“Kerelyn!” A man in his early thirties in a blue uniform called out to Kerelyn, smiling at the red-haired girl, but he seemed nervous when he realized that Kerelyn was with Daniel.
“I'm sorry, I mean Miss. Howard,” said in a nervous tone as he looked at Daniel with fear.
“It's okay that he won't report you,” Kerelyn said after realizing that the bully was afraid that Daniel would report it to the building because he was being disrespectful.
“Martin, do you know him? Here, Daniel Winchester, my neighbor.”
“Of course I know him, everyone knows Mr. Winchester,” Martin said with a friendly smile.
“Daniel, introduce he is the man I can count on most in this building, Martin Louis,” Kerelyn said, causing Martin to blush in embarrassment.
“I've seen it several times, I'm sorry for not recognizing you,” said Daniel kindly while serving as a janitor in the building they live in, “And you may call me Daniel,” he continued which made Martin look happy.
“What are you guys going to go?”
“Yes, I really need some fresh air today,” Kerelyn replied with a smile, “Oh yes, Martin, I see you have changed my kitchen lights, thank you very much I really appreciate it.”
“No problem it is my duty, if you need my help you just call me.”
“Alright, I'll call you later then.”
Kerelyn and Daniel were just walking when Martin called them back.
“I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you just you guys need to be careful, you know one of the janitors here just got killed.”
Kerelyn and Daniel were wide in disbelief at what Martin had said, but the man looked very serious.
“What is true?” Daniel asked as he looked at Martin curiously.
“Yes, do you know Tobi?”
“Of course you don't know him, he's a new officer here and a few days ago some police came up to us to ask about Tobi, he was found dead in one of the parking lots in the Brooklyn area, his head was smashed until the police had a little trouble identifying him.”
“Ya Lord.” Kerelyn closed her mouth using both hands, she could not believe that anyone would kill another person with her sadism.
“And I found out from one of our colleagues that Tobi was working part-time at your usual shooting place, Kerelyn.”
Kerleyn again widened her eyes in surprise, as did Daniel who had a strong enough instinct and somehow felt that this had something to do with Kerelyn.
“Do you know when he was killed?” Daniel asked curiously.
“I'm not so sure, but the police said that he was killed at night under heavy rain so they had trouble finding evidence.”
Daniel frowned thinking, Heavy rain? Isn't that where Kerelyn was injured? No, he shouldn't think that this is all just an unrelated coincidence, but he will remember to talk about this with Alex.
“Alright, Martin, thanks for the warning, we will be very careful,” said Daniel who got a nod of encouragement and a smile from Martin.
They are now walking towards Daniel's Mustang and soon begin to break up the density of New York's streets, along the way they are filled with conversations about how dangerous the current state of affairs is where crime begins to run rampant, not knowing the place and time.
They have now reached Times Square, which is at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world, with the nickname “Crossroads of the world”, as well as other visitors Daniel and Karelyn also parked their vehicle in one of the parking lots available there and began to walk.
They enjoyed their trip while enjoying the Turkish ice cream that Daniel bought at one of the ice cream stalls there, for the first time after plunging into the world keartisan Kerelyn can casually enjoy his day off, wearing jeans, sneakers and t-shirts do not miss the blue baseball cap with the inscription I Love NY, with the words I Love NY, like the other tourists he walked along casually stripping off his status as a framed public, although it seems like some people had recognized them but no one dared to bother him, similarly, Daniel looks very relaxed with his shabby jeans combined with a long-sleeved black shirt that he pulled up to three-quarters.
They walk among the canalized Broadway theater buildings with its performances, billboards and also its spectacular and colorful lights being the place's own attraction, the, honestly, Kerelyn really wanted to enter the museum Repley’s Believe It or Not located in the area but unfortunately saw the dense visitors who snaked waiting for the turn in made him undo the intention, he said, and finally they decided to sit on one of the available chairs in the bustling and iconic plaza area. The plaza is an open area in the middle of the vehicle-free Broadway road and there are chairs and tables installed to just sit or enjoy a meal that has been ordered at the restaurant around it, kind of an outdoor cafe.
“Do you want to eat something?” Daniel asked after they sat in one of the white plastic chairs.
Kerelyn stared around looking for something that intrigued her taste and her eyes sparkled when she saw the hotdog stand not far from them, as Daniel smiled realizing what she wanted.
“Ah, I am sure tomorrow your photo that is eating hotdog greedily will be a headline in several magazines,” said Daniel who made Kerelyn laugh.
“You're right, I have to keep my image.”
“Hey, there's nothing wrong with that, once you have to show them your wild side,” Daniel said as he looked at Kerelyn softly.
“You're right, but not now. I'm not ready to receive Eddy's long hospitality.”.
Daniel nodded in understanding and finally they decided to just order a drink for the two, they were having a light conversation and laughing when Daniel caught the figure he knew, he squinted his eyes to see more clearly, intrigued by what Daniel was looking at, Kerelyn turned her body to see what made Daniel look so serious.
“Isn't that Lexa and Alex?” Kerelyn asked after seeing Daniel's brother seen being in an argument with Alex who seemed to hear the hair shaggy and beard covering his jaw.
“What are they doing?”
Daniel had just waved his hand to call the two when some people joined the two, they widened their eyes when they realized who had just come and joined them both, and it looks Alex who immediately embraces Alexa possessively.
“Yes God, is not it..” kerelyn did not dare to continue his words, his face paled again, his hands immediately closed his mouth.
“Simon Javier.”
