When life seems so hard for you to endure it alone. Do not worry , there is always someone out there willing to help you carry those burdens. It's just sometimes where are having a hard time finding that someone over seven billion of people in the earth. It's more like of finding a tiny marble in a tons of piles of sand. But for Eurydice , she already find hers. It is Night.
"Are you fine now?." Night asked.
The embarrassment she felt after the kiss hasn't yet subsided. She doesn't have the courage to look in his eyes. She continued burying her face in her palm. She's sure she is as red as a tomato now.
"Why are you hiding your face?." he tried grabbing her hand for her to face him but she immediately look away. Oh ghad! The shame is killing her.
"You're blushing." She pouted like a child. She doesn't like that whenever he teases her.
"I didn't intend to do that okay?!." she defend. Feeling guilty.
"Okay..Okay.. Calm down." Night chuckled. It just make her more frustrated. She suddenly felt hot.
She was a out to head for the kitchen to avoid Night's teases when her the someone buzz. They gazed at each other for awhile before Eury walk to the door to open it. A man in suit accompanied by two men wearing police uniform welcomed her eyes.
"Yes?." She's not so sure what could be this men's agenda to her.
"Eurydice Alvarez?." Asked the man in suit. He's a foot taller than Eury. He looks young and maybe the typical investigator this country had. Those basically handsome and smart.
"It's me." She answered still bothered by their presence at her own doorstep.
"Investigator McLain here." the man said and show his badge to her. She nod shifting her gaze from the badge back to him.
"What do you want?." She's getting shivers having meeting this kind of people.
"We're here for the investigation of the death of your neighbor." McLain gazed at the house next to her. He must be referring to Amber. She suddenly felt a clog in her throat. The news is still fresh to her.
"Okay." she managed to answer.
"Would be it kind to you to let us in? We will just ask for some questions."
Eury let out a little sigh before opening the door wide for them to enter.
"Who are they?." asked Night as the three guest studied the house , every inch of corner.
"They're here for Amber's death."
"You're boyfriend?." McLain asked pertaining to Night beside her. The two shake their head in unison.
"No. He's my best friend." -Eury
"Y-yeah. Best friend." Night seconded feeling doubtful. They just kiss earlier and they are damn best friends? Whose kidding me?
McLain nod and settle himself in the one sitter sofa next to where they are.
"Do you know Mrs. Amber Lockwood?." McLain's eyes are fixed at her. She nod and settle back to a sit. Night accompanied in her side , looking doubtful over this McLain and the other two at his back.
"We're been neighbors for almost three years. She's good. I consider her like my little sister."
"By instance , have you meet her yesterday?." - McLain
"I'm on an eight hour night shift in a restaurant I'm working as a part time."
Night doesn't actually like the idea of her doing part time job. He can give her money but she insisted it's too much. She want to get to buy things with her own money and not with someone else.
"I've bump into her at around 11 PM at night. We exchange hi and a short talk." she continued.
McLain went on writing on his notebook.
"By instance , do you know where will she go at that night? Whose meeting with her?."
Eury went on reminiscing last nights conversation with Amber.
"She said she's meeting her husband Terry at Gavinson." McLain pauses for awhile. Stare at her at then went on writing what's he just said.
Eury glance at Night beside her when he slowly tap her shoulder.
"Do you think his husband kill her?."
Eury is speechless. How could she know? And would Terry kill her. Amber is his wife.
"I-I don't know. I don't think he can do that." she said jolting. Getting goosebumps if ever Terry really did.
"I don't think Terry would do that." said Night. Interrupting the conversation of the two. McLain gazed at him for a second then write something in his notebook.
"May I know your name?."
"Midnight Atticus Tan. I'm the owner of this compound. Terry and Amber has been living here for quite years now. I seldom see them fighting."
"Seldom? Any chance you see they did?." Eury gaze at Night thinking now.
"Few instances but it's not a big matter. It's either fighting over what should be put in the bread , peanut butter or mayonnaise or what television show to watch." Night answered persistently.
Eury see the little mark of speculation in McLain's eyes.
He's not doubting her is he? He's not thinking she killed Amber right? Right! Because she's telling the truth. She can't for Pete Sake could kill someone. Not Amber she adore. Not even her father she loathe. Not anyone. How could she probably kill someone? She's not a criminal.
Meanwhile , McLain is gazing at Night with doubtful expression.
"How on earth do you know that?." he asked.
"Terry actually work before at my company before he resign two years ago. He kept me in contact. He's one of my finest assets. We used to talk over personal matter.
"What company?." - McLain.
"A bodyguard company. Our HQ is in downtown." McLain give him a a nod.
"Is he some sort of aggressive or—
"Someone who can kill?." Night interrupted. Eury was quiet shock for his quick response.
"You're right."
"Na..ah.." Night answered sure. "Our customers always said he's kind. I can see that too."
"Do you know why he resign from his job?."
"He said he want a rest and a lone time for her wife."
"Do you still got in touch after?."
"Few chances. I often came here to check on Eury. We seldom talk heartily though."
McLain glances at Eury quietly beside his Night.
"She must be lucky to have you."
"She's has no one now ." He said and went on story telling about how she and Night meet and everything in between. In full detail. Eury wasn't sure if that's necessary though. McLain listen with less interest.
After the conversation of the two men. McLain went on bidding goodbye saying they'll inform the both for new information about the murder.
"See you around." Eury watch them fading from her sight. She quickly shut the door behind her after their car drove away.
"Eury?." She turn to Night still sitting on the sofa. "You look pale?." She immediately bite her lip hearing his words.
"Are you scared?." She nod without knowing.
"Why?." She shrug. She doesn't know why. It felts like danger is around here now. And she felt scared once again.
"Hey. Don't be scared. There's nothing to be scared of." Night assured and pull her down for a hug. She bury her face in his hard chest and began sobbing. Everything is scaring her. As if like tomorrow , she's be the one dead.
"Nothing bad will happen to you. I'm here to protect you." Night whisper and give her head lights kisses.
Somewhat she felt safe again.
