Chapter 18 - Chapter 17: __________

"...." The 2 security guards behind Meki gulp in fear as Meki stand fearless in front of them against Li Xuan.

Meki stare for a while and then shrug in response: "Shouldn't you ask her? We just came in and saw her injured."

The 2 security guards heave a sigh of relief that Meki didn't provoke the daughter of the detective, otherwise they would have lost their jobs.

Li Xuan's seriousness didn't fade as she look towards Meki asking in a angry tone: "So? The problem is.. why didn't the security team protect her?!"

The 2 security guards gulp again as they hide behind Meki while Sabrina just tilt her head in confusion.

"Hey! What's going on?" A voice that questions appears

Galicia was tending to Sabrina's wounds so she didn't cut in the conversation between Li Xuan and the security guards.

Lidia was just examine the windows.

Li Xuan and the 3 security guards look towards the door.

A woman wearing a white coat appears beside Jia Min.

Jia Min oblivious to what's going on just rush in to beside Sabrina and wave at the woman: "Here! Doc!"

The doctor sigh as she walk towards Sabrina while glaring at the 2 male security guards, in which they get the hint and dash out of the room.

Sabrina was just trying to compile her thoughts about what she is going to tell the police later… But with the noise around her, she decided to stop it first.

All of a sudden, the lights went out. "What?" She practically screams in fright. There wasn't any reply from her surroundings. Even the doctor who was doing her job stopped. She reaches out her hand… Her eyes widen in surprise as she felt nothing in front of her. The doctor that was in her arms reach, disappeared.

Before her mind could process.

A female voice appeared, "Did you really have to do that?!"

"What?" Sabrina responds as she saw the 'person' that was covered like a puzzle.

"Why didn't you do anything then?!"

Sabrina widen her eyes as her expression turn into fear: "I couldn't do anything to stop it!"

"That's an excuse! You could have saved them!"

Sabrina clutch her head: "I! I… warned them."

"So? You could have aid them!"

"I didn't mean to not done it! It's the truth!"

"I'm disappointed in you." Said by the female 'person' as she turns around.

"Wait! Please don't leave me here! I really didn't mean to let them die!" Sabrina scream as she saw her walk towards the elevator.

"Please! I didn't do it! I don't want even you to leave me! Please! Please, __________!"

Tears flowing from her eyes as darkness overwhelm her when she realizes that her voice is gone and even that 'person' left her.

After what was like an eternity, a voice appeared in the darkness.

"Sabrina?" The sound brought light to her as she blinks her eyes at the familiar scenery in front of her.

Sabrina looks towards her left where the voice called her yet again.

"Sabrina, you're finally awake!" The blurred image of a girl appeared in front of her.

Sabrina blink her eyes adjusting to the light, "Oh it's you, Jia Min. What happened?"

Jia Min wipe away her tears, "I never thought you would have fainted because of the blood you lost for an entire 6 months!"

"WHAT?!" Sabrina scream in surprise

"Just joking!" Jia Min cheekily smile in relief.

Sabrina: "Jeez I almost thought it was real!"

"To me, it did feel like it. Anyway, what did you dreamt about? It is the only dream out of the other 6 nights you had that gotten you in cold sweat…" Jia Min said towards Sabrina with a questioning look.

"Fjord…" Sabrina mutter softly in response.

"What?" Jia Min ask in confusion.

"I don't remember what my dream was about. It was that scary I guess…" Sabrina respond while scratching her head, "So, what happen while I was unconscious?''

"The police were finding the criminal until now." Unexpectedly, it was Lidia who responded.

"So, was there any casualties from the explosion?" Sabrina asks with a worried mind while nodding to Lidia as hello.

"No, fortunately none died." Jia Min pat Sabrina's head while saying.

"That's a relief. Where's Li Xuan and Galicia?" Sabrina asks

"They have co-curricular activities." Both of them replies at the same time.

"Alright. By the way, you both didn't leave each other, right?" Sabrina asks them with a concern look on her face.

"Don't worry. By the question you asked us previously, I already guessed that the criminal must have used one of our faces. So, we didn't leave each other alone. Also, there's something called security cameras." Lidia said seriously while crossing her arms.

Jia Min nod her head in agreement.

Sabrina laugh her worries away while trying to stop herself from telling Lidia that it was her face that was used. She looks at the phone Lidia was carrying and gulp: "Is that my phone?"

Lidia nod her head, "Obviously. You need to contact your parents about your condition, no?"

Sabrina sigh while taking her phone, "Can you both give me some privacy?"

They both nodded and left.

Sabrina making sure they left, immediately check for anything that might be inside her phone. Although she felt guilty towards Lidia, but it was for her own safety. After checking for a while, she only realizes the location sharing was on in which she didn't on before. So, she figured that it might be the police's doings in case she's the bomber… Not sure of whether there are other functions like voice recording etc., she acted natural while she calls her mom. After a few moments of talking with her parents which was covered by the sound of bird chirping, she ended the call after looking around the room she was staying naturally for any unusual areas.

She looks out the window, 'This isn't my previous room… Well, I guess they wouldn't let a kid like me to get injured again on their watch. Afterall, they literally have police officers outside my room right now… I wonder what's going on at school. What is Hana and they all are doing?'

"It really does feel like 6 months has passed even though it was only a week." Sabrina sigh with a lonely expression that flash across her face: 'When can I get out?'.
