Shocked at the knowledge of having just talked with the guy who almost killed her best friend.Ali took some time to gather herself.
"Actually I don't know that guy. I was just coming towards the elevator. When that guy stopped me from behind to ask me some kind of address. "
"Is that all Ali!! Did he say anything else.... try to remember properly."
" No Kate he didn't say anything. He just asked me the address and went back the way he came."
" I don't get it how does he know the address of where I live."
Seeing her friend gradually sinking into fear Ali came and put her hands on her shoulder.
"Kate calm down please honey! It might just be a coincidence babe!! He doesn't know where you live. Now take a deep breath and calm down"
"You are right Ali I need to stay strong! You would be with me right all the time!?"
Looking at her insecure friend who looked at her with watery eyes Ali felt her heartache as she replied "Of course I am there with you Kate always. Now just calm down!"
After sorting things out it was late into afternoon when Ali sat in the balcony with a cup of coffee to give herself some time.
Thinking of how strange it was to meet that psycho here and how dangerous it is for her friend.
Mulling to herself Ali thought, 'Why wasn't the thing blown up, after all there in that cafe Kate saw some amount of blood. Why the police wasn't informed!!'
'I think now it's time for us to visit that cafe together to see wat happened to that boy there.'
Having made plans she started reading a book to distract herself.
After a monotonous day where everyone's mind was occupied with worry and fear.

The morning sun brightly rose bringing in new light and new hope for all of whom who believed in it.
After a quick breakfast Kate and Ali headed towards the old town. To go to that exact same store where Katie went to 2 days back.
They both took necessary precautions. So that if the psycho was lingering somewhere he wouldn't be able to recognize them.
With a hat almost hiding their face along with a big sunglasses.
So as to not get recognized they kept Haze at the apartment itself. Their darling was sleeping in the basket with enough food and water till they came back.
They headed to know the mystery behind the whereabouts of that boy and to see who that bloody stains of back then belonged to.
Steeling their heart they stood at the entrance of the same street. But unlike that day it was full of people making them sigh in relief.
Slowly they walked towards the cafe of that day.
But in the end all they could do was suddenly stop in shock in front of the cafe.
