The last of December; last ten days of lovely December were just around the corner. But before the last of December started, Dylan has to go out of Capaldi. He keep neglecting this till now.
What cause the sudden change in his plan was last night incident. He woke in middle of night but what he saa was so devastating.
He was both present and absent. He was watching it and not watching what's going on. It was nothing or more but a strange dream that he had. What he saw was, him standing by the door of his room and watching the bed where he was sleeping with Lena. Strange enough he was awake and standing by the door but he was also sleeping on the bed.. It continues For a while and Dylan woke up instantly startling Lena who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
He gasps loudly.
" Dylan, what's wrong Dy? " Lena asked him in sleepy voice.
" Just a bad dream, who says man can't have nightmares. " he lays down cuddling Lena close to him. At that moment he felt that he had done what Master Atlan told him to do.. He keeps on neglecting it.
When Dylan felt that Lena had fell asleep again. He took his phone out and check the time. It was exactly the time when he had that kind of bad dream for first time.
There he decided to go out of Capaldi to find the answer of this from the person who is most known for giving answer to such questions in his circle and even Great Master has told him to go there. A person on whom Dylan has complete trust to tell whole story without distorting the facts and still won't spill a single word to anyone till he permits it.
Evelyn can we meet?
He texted his cousin Eva. Who's reply came as soon as he send the email.
How about Tomorrow evening at Kingstonë?
Eva!! I will come alone.
That's good, I'm not ready yet.
Evelyn replied and it left him unsettled.
In his heart, He knows why Eva have to say this and he knows how he has to respond to this.
It's okay, Eva..
And just like that it was settled that he would go out of Capaldi.
Dylan placed his phone on nightstand and place soft kisses on top of her head before closing his eyes..
Lena.... I'm going out of Capaldi once again without you.. Believe me it's necessary otherwise I will go with you.. Be my You when I come back, don't show me a cold shoulder. He faintly whispered to her and she turn her back to him in her sleep.

when Commander hears it from Gibbs that Dylan is going southwards for something. He handed him a task that he personally has to carried out without getting anyone involve. Dylan knew what he truly meant and he was thankful for this opportunity to go there alone.
Lena pouts, relaxing a bit, taking his icey scent inside her.
" Promise me Dylan Al'Xander that you will come back all good and just like how you are going there. " Lena finally gave in and hug him.
Dylan smiles and hold her in his arms.
