Chapter 38 - Nothing is missing

In Joe's office. (Joe POV)

When I was working, I wanted to go much faster, but as I started packing my things, I could see that new important emails come. While seeing them, I started working on them, and as of now, I had access to a database. I could end this as fast as possible as I needed to check data from long before.

When I was doing it, I had done this after some time, and when dark hit, I looked all around, and when I was doing it, I finally get up, and when I close everything, I walked out. When I had done this, I could feel that slowly I become hungry, and while feeling it, I walked out of the company building, and my destination was ramen place. While being there, after the walk, I ordered like always, and when I had done this, I started eating it, while taking pills as I forgot about them earlier.

After I took them, I looked around as it was an empty today, and when I was done eating, I walked out, and then I started walking back home. While I was doing it, I could feel at one point that someone hit me on my back. When I fall to the ground, I could feel kicks and punches in my entire body. When I moved on to protect my face, one kick on my right side come, which stopped me from doing it. As I looked around, I could see that I'm attacked by ten people, and when they were kicking me, at one point I lost my consciousness. When I had done this, I don't know when I wake up, but I could see somehow, people all around me, and when I looked at them, I could hear one saying, "he is waking up."

"Well, when is this fucking ambulance," the woman said while looking at me, and when she was doing it, I looked at her barely as I started once again losing consciousness. When this was happening, pain comes to me from my entire body, but strongest from my face and knee. As this was happening, I could only suffer like that, and while tears started escaping from my eyes, I could hear an ambulance. While hearing it, I could be happier, but as they moved once again to me, the pain hit me, and I pass out.

In Megan place. (Megan POV)

When I was enjoying wine, my phone started ringing like crazy. While hearing it at first, I ignored it, but while it was going for a few minutes, I answered, while seeing that's Marcus, and I said, "what."

"Come to the first hospital as fast as possible," he said.

"What has happened?" I said while moving from my pleasant position.

"Someone attacked Joe," he said.

"I will come soon," I said.

"Wait, Kevin is going for you," Marcus said.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"You drank, I can hear it. He should be there soon, so wait," he said, and when he hangs out, I looked at the half-empty bottle. When I have done this, I walked to the bedroom, and after I changed, normal clothes from my pyjama, I waited for Kevin to come. While seeing his car coming, I opened the gates, and when I walked outside, I went to his car. While being there, I said, "what has happened."

"I don't know," Sofia said while turning to me.

"So Marcus called to you, and said nothing," I asked.

"Yes," she said, and when Kevin drove us to the hospital. When we come there, we come inside, and while seeing Marcus looking at us, he said, "he is in stable condition."

"What has happened?" I asked.

"They attacked him. I don't know what exactly has happened, but look yourself," he said, and when we followed him, we come to the room. While I looked at the person there, I could see someone whole covered in bandages. When I looked at Marcus, I asked, "Joe?"

"Yes, I barely recognized him, his face was full of bruises," Marcus said, and when he walked closer to Joe, he takes from the shelf phone, and when I looked at it, I could see that it's the same which Joe have. When he unlocked it, I could see calls, and one was from Marcus. While seeing it, I looked at Sofia, and then I said, "where is Alice?"

"Here," Alice said while walking inside with her laptop, and when she looked at me, she said, "no cameras around."

"Fucking hell," I said while looking at Joe. In this state, I started feeling furious. While I looked more at him, I said, "around."

"Nothing, an area with no cameras," she said.

"Anything is missing?" I asked.

"His backpack was open, on his back. Nothing is missing," Marcus said.

"So what now," I screamed.

"I don't know," Alice said while looking at me, and when she put her hand on my shoulder, she said, "calm down."

"I am calm," I said.

"Nicole took this case," Sofia said.

"Good, I hope she will do all good," I said, and when I looked at Joe, now Marcus said, "he will go out, nothing happened to him, that is dangerous."

"OK," I said, and when I looked at them, I said, "can you leave me alone."

"OK," they said while looking at me, and when they disappeared, I walked closer to Joe, and when I looked at him, I moved my hand closer to him. When it was in the middle of the air for some time, I grabbed it, and then unexpected tears started going out.

While feeling it, I realize his hand, and then I walked to the bathroom to keep myself, don't know why I feel like that. When I looked in a mirror, I said in a low voice, "I started feeling something to him," and when I moved my hand closer to my chest, I could feel that my heart was racing like crazy. While feeling it, I looked more in the mirror, and then I said: "keep calm girl."

When I had done this, I stay there for some time, and when I calmed myself well. I walked out, and while seeing the whole band there, I looked at them, and I said, "someone from, his family will come?"

"Everyone is dead," Alice said.

"Right," I said while forgetting about it.

"He will stay here for the next two weeks," Marcus said.

"OK," I said, and when I looked at him, I said, "I will pay for him being here."

"OK," he said, and when we talked for some time midnight has come. While seeing it everyone walked away, and I stay in Joe's room, looking at him while waiting for his first move, when he will wake up.
