Luci was stunned for a long time. She was at a loss for what to say because all this time she had never remembered that she had made a promise to Spider. Moreover, the promise was very difficult to keep, namely, Luci would not leave Spider forever. Here it said forever, Forever meant throughout the rest of Luci's life. Forever meant forever!
'Gosh, what a fool I was then. Stupid Luci!' cursed Luci in her own heart. Her hand went up to hit her head.
Spider giggled at Luci's funny attitude, an attitude that Luci hadn't changed since a long time ago. Spider wanted to hug Luci, he wanted to hug her all day, but he had to be patient because this wasn't the time yet.
At that moment the ambulance arrived, its siren screamed all over the place. Several people were seen leaving with disheveled faces and staggering bodies. Spider grabbed Luci's body and pulled her into his arms, then Spider's coat closed so that it could cover Luci's face and figure.
"Bring this child!" said Spider and started walking.
Luci, who was confused because everything was dark, finally exclaimed, "What's wrong? Why did you cover me like this?"
"You have to stay hidden. It's not time for these people to see your face. Tell me which is your car? That shabby black one?" asked Spider, who slightly hurt Luci's heart. That car was all she could afford to rent last night because the money she had from the previous mission had run out to pay Aunt Arum's 50 million debt.
"Yeah, that one," Luci flattened somewhat annoyed. Then Luci felt her body being carried somewhere, maybe to the car she rented earlier.
When she got into the car, Luci was surprised because earlier what was covering her face and body turned out to be Spider's coat.
"Why are you covering me with this? How about Hans then? Where is he now?" demanded Luci starting to get a little angry but also confused.
"Shh!" whispered Spider with his index finger pressed against Luci's full and tiny lips. At that moment Spider's heart was pounding again. He almost fell in his desire, Spider almost 'pounced' to kiss Luci's lips. But fortunately, the man was still able to control himself. 'I'm going to be crazy if this keeps up,' thought Spider.
"Hey-"
"SILENCE!" shouted Spider, interrupting Luci's words. The man was still holding his breath to contain the turmoil in his body. He didn't want to hear Luci's voice for a few seconds, he didn't want to stare at Luci's face or body for a while. Otherwise, what would he do next?
"Id-"
"Shut up or I'll do the unexpected things," Spider interjected with his hands now cupping Luci's face.
The man's eyes took turns looking at Luci's eyes, then down to Luci's nose, then down to the girl's lips. Spider's chest was racing very fast.
There was a part of him that almost woke up, but luckily he was able to hold it firmly. Then he buckled his seatbelt and started adjusting the engine and then drove him as close as possible to the ambulance carrying Hans.
Along the way, Luci did not say anything. The girl was a little nervous after Spider snapped at her earlier. Luci thought of the worst option if Spider would get angry and hit her. Though what Luci thought was wrong. Spider wanted to touch and feel her, especially her lips and then her sexy body.
"Ehem, why – why are you silent?" Spider asked, still feeling a little awkward. He was also nervous if it turned out that Luci could detect that Spider was almost 'waking up' earlier. Spider was also worried that after Luci found out, she would stay away from him.
'No, she promised me,' Spider thought adamantly.
"It's okay," Luci whispered. The girl was too confused to answer. Maybe she was just sensitive today, maybe Spider didn't yell at her earlier.
"You know you promised me right?" added Spider who this time had begun to shed his nervousness. "You have to keep it. That promise is a debt and the only thing that can pay it is that you have to keep it," Spider snorted again.
"But – but isn't that weird? I mean I was a kid back then," Luci replied defensively.
"No, I don't think so. That promise is also timeless," said Spider, starting to sound a little louder.
"But forever is a very long time. That forever –" Luci couldn't continue her words. "Besides, one day you will live with your little family."
"You're my little family, only you," Spider interjected almost impatiently. 'I want you, Bee,' Spider whispered in his heart.
"No, that's not it. I mean you're going to have kids."
"I know we're going to have kids," said Spider. His eyes were still focused on the driving but he occasionally glanced at Luci.
The girl's face looked puffy and tired, her clean but shiny skin was so tempting. Spider couldn't stand it if he looked at it for a long time. As a result, Spider stopped his car, then the man forced his coat on. After all parts of Luci's body were covered, Spider drove the car again.
"What is -"
"Shut up and sleep!" Spider ordered without looking at Luci in the slightest.
Luci wanted to obey him but she couldn't. She still wanted to confirm where they were going. After all, now Luci had to escort Hans who was currently in the ambulance in front of her.
Since Hans could just disappear in the hospital and since she heard that one of the people in the Evil Fort was one of the biggest contributors there, Luci couldn't rest in peace now. At the very least he had to make sure that Hans really would be taken to the hospital.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Spider asked, still not looking at Luci. The man only glanced at Luci who was currently sitting upright in the chair beside him.
"It does not matter. I'm not sleepy yet," Luci lied for a thousand reasons.
"Your eyes even look like they're sinking if you don't blink. Go to sleep, I know you're tired. Besides, after we get to the hospital you have to explain everything to me about how you got to the Evil Fort. Therefore, since I still give you time to sleep, then sleep now, "said Spider with a tone that had started to soften again.
At first, Luci wanted to refuse again, but it turned out that her sleepiness was even bigger. Unknowingly she fell asleep by herself. The moving streets suddenly turned dark until they finally disappeared.
In her sleep, she dreams of meeting Daniel. Daniel was still as handsome as he used to be with his tall body. His always friendly and loving face now smiled at Luci.
Then suddenly she saw a sickle coming from the air, the sickle shot and slashed Daniel's body repeatedly. Then Luci saw Daniel crying while Luci couldn't do anything.
