Traveling to the Unseen Realm

57. Staking out

Ranvier seemed to smile silently at the different reactions that Madam Maureen and her husband showed.

" Ba... How did Albert come to you Ranvier...?" madam Maureen asked with a trembling voice.

Ranvier did not answer. He looked at Antoni as if waiting for permission from Anthoni to continue this conversation. Madam Maureen took a glance at her husband to make Anthoni sigh long.

" Continue..," pinta Anthoni.

" Thank you..," said Ranvier with a smile.

" So what did he say Ranvier...?" ask Madam Maureen impatiently.

" Sorry Madam. When Albert came to me for the first time, he said nothing. But I'm sure there's something he wants to say now.

" Now...?" ask Maureen and her husband at the same time.

" What do you mean...?" ask Anthoni riled up.

" Him.., sorry. I mean Albert. Albert came and was standing behind you Madam..," said Ranvier as he looked towards the figure of the man standing behind Madam Maureen.

" Wait a minute. If you're sure it's Albert, please tell me what it looks like." challenge Anthoni.

Anthoni purposely said that. He believes Ranvier will be difficult to answer because there is no photo of Albert there. Since five years ago Anthoni was deliberately lowering all the photos of Albert from the wall because he did not want his wife to be sad for a long time.

Hearing Anthoni's challenge made Ranvier smile. He began to mention Albert's physical characteristics.

" Albert is straight blonde, blue-eyed, well-bodied with a height of approximately 6 feet. Mmm..., he is currently wearing a grey stripe blue shirt. And one more, there was an elongated wound on the right forehead that was transverse like this. It was very thin and faint but I could see it because Albert brushed his hair as if to show it to Me," Ranvier said as he touched his right forehead and made a line drawing there.

Ranvier's remarks made Madame Maureen and her husband shocked. Even Madame Maureen cried loudly and then poured into Anthoni's embrace.

" That's it, that's Albert We Darling" said Madame Maureen softly between her tears.

" Yes dear..," said Anthoni with a choked voice.

" Albert wears his favorite shirt. That's the nineteenth birthday present I gave her, '" Maureen said.

" yes. And that sign, Albert will not show it if the interlocutor is not the one who makes him comfortable.", said Anthoni while wiping the point of tears that fell at the end of his eyes.

For a moment the room became quiet. Only the sobs of Madam Maureen sounded.

" Now I believe Ranvier. I'm trusting you because you can call Albert's traits clear and precise. It may be true Maureen said. Albert died because someone intentionally harmed him. Please help us uncover Albert's death, yes" Anthoni asked in a hoarse voice.

" God willing I am ready to help Mr...," said Ranvier steady.

" Thank you Ranvier. May the Lord repay your kindness" said Anthoni who was greeted with a smile by Ranvier.

Madam Maureen also broke her embrace. He stared at Anthoni and Ranvier's face alternately. The woman seemed happy because finally the husband was willing to find out the cause of Albert's death. Something that has kept Madame Maureen curious for the past five years.

" So where do we start Ranvier...?" ask Anthoni.

" I'd like Mr. Anthoni to accompany me on a stakeout of Mrs Blair's house. We will record their activities so that they can be used as evidence to report to the Police later.", said Ranvier.

" I am Ranvier..," interrupted Maureen suddenly.

" Sorry Madam. But I want Mr. Anthoni to go with me because I feel more comfortable.

" I agree..," said Anthoni firmly.

" But I want to come. I am curious about the Blair..," said Mrs Maureen.

" Where are there people lurking in a group manner Mistress. I'll share the assignment with Mr. Anthoni. Because he's a man, I don't have to look after him or worry about him. I'm sure Mr. Anthoni can take care of himself and ease my work later. Precisely different things will happen if you are the one who comes along," said Ranvier while holding back a laugh.

Ranvier's words made Anthoni laugh while Maureen's mistress seemed to blush in shame.

" Come on, baby. You are at home yes. Ranvier and I will bring some good news later." Anthoni said.

" Ok, thank you dear..," said Anthoni while peeping his wife's forehead.

Ranvier smiled at the intimacy of a couple in front of him. A moment later Ranvier and Anthoni were in the car to Blair's residence.

\=\=\=\=\=

Anthoni stopped his car not far from Blair's residence.

" The black stone-walled house is the Blair family's house. There's a playground in the back, we can stop by and see the situation from there so it's not too flashy." said Anthoni.

" Ok..," said Ranvier.

Ranvier and Anthoni hurried to the playground. There are many families who are sitting while enjoying the beauty of the park at that time.

Anthoni chose to sit in a garden chair overlooking the Blair House. He pulled out his cell phone and recorded the conditions around the Blair family home. Anthoni also recorded his conversation with the woman sitting next to him who turned out to be a neighbor of the Blair family.

" The Blair Family. They are weird. I don't think they have a daughter or a maid. But I often hear the screams of women from inside her house." said the woman.

" Maybe that's Mrs Blair's voice...?" ask Anthoni.

" No. I'm sure it's not his voice. I've known them for a long time and I know the color of Mrs Blair's voice." she said.

" Don't-don't they..," Anthoni's speech was interrupted.

" I agree if you report them to the Police. I was honestly disturbed by the sound of that scream. And I'm afraid for a long time that woman could die at their hands." said the woman.

" Why don't you just report...?" anthoni asked while frowning.

" It's. But the police can't prove anything or indeed Blair's family is too smart to hide everything.

Anthoni fell silent and let out a long sigh.

On the other hand, Ranvier was stepping closer to the Blair family home. He stood right beside the waist-high vines fence of adults who were standing around the house.

From where he stands Ranvier can freely observe the Blair family home. Suddenly Ranvier narrowed his eyes when he saw Anastasya was behind the window and was waving at him. Occasionally Anastasya was seen hitting the window with both of his palms.

Ranvier rushes to record Anastasya and tries to communicate with the girl. But something happened. There was someone pulling the girl's body away from the window.

Not pulling the body but grabbing Anastasya's hair more precisely. Because Anastasya looked in pain while holding his head that moved following the direction of his hair that was snatched from behind. After that the figure of the man with the face of the sangar was seen standing observing out the window for a moment and then closed the window curtains violently.

The moment the man appeared, Ranvier immediately ducked down. Only his phone that he positioned higher than his body in order to keep recording the action of the man with the face of the sangar.

Afterwards Ranvier rushed to Anthoni and showed the results of the recording. Anthoni is shocked to see a girl who looks like Anastasya in the Blair family home.

" This is indeed Anastasya. We can report this to the police now, '" Anthoni said.

" But don't you report to Sir. Let me just. I'm sure that a stranger like me reporting will not make the Police angry and remembered the words of Mrs Maureen." Ranvier reminded.

" Yes Ranvier, I agree. I'm sure the Police must have marked Me and My Wife for ever doubting their performance first.

" Don't worry Sir. God willing the case of Albert's death will soon be revealed and the person who harmed Albert will soon be arrested." Ranvier comforted.

" Yes Ranvier, thank you..," said Anthoni with a smile.

" Either Mr. Anthoni. Did you get anything just now...?" ask Ranvier.

" yes. I'll send this to your phone so you have enough evidence to report to the Police later.

Ranvier nodded and listened to the video footage that Anthoni had.
