Finally out of sleep and Rio keeps bugging me. I wonder where Emily has run off to.
"Hello, Fleur."
Speak of the devil and he will appear or rather she. And she's not alone. Interesting. I recognize Alec,Archie,Brax, Jade, Fergus but who is the other guy.
"Hey Fleur. We got you some things to aid your recovery."
"Thanks Fergus."
"You know my name?"
"Of course I do. I know all your names. That's Alex, Archie,Brax, Jade too. But who is he?"
Fergus is too cute for his age. Anyway the guy at the back is cute too I guess. Wait, how come the entire team is filled with drop dead gorgeous people.
[Fleur: Kye,explain yourself. We are nerds,NERDS!!]
[Kye:So nerds can't look ' drop dead gorgeous hmmm?]
I watched as this strange face walked up to me and stretched out his hand to me.
"Hello, I'm Abe Edwards, the team leader. We haven't met yet."
That explains much,but why do I feel like I shouldn't shake his hand,even though it's impolite?
"I suggest keeping away your hand,Mr.Edwards."
Rio for the save. Thank the heavens! It would have gotten too awkward for me.
"And why not Dr. Wright? "
"Fleur here has just started recovering from trauma and among the side effects is repulsion towards strangers or foreign things. That's why Emily could touch her but you can't."
"I see,that did happen a lot when we were younger."
"Yeah, and the old man would be so unforgiving towards the person who caused the trigger."
"Oh yeah. Speaking of the old man, you haven't said anything have you?"
"Lucy, I don't have a death wish, alright?"
We had friendly banter for a while and our conversation was cut short with a sudden intrusion
.
"Boss,can she really not touch you?"
It was Alec who had asked. Ok, I know we got off on the wrong foot but during this whole period,he would secretly come and see me. Yeah,tsundere type. He's really cute when he acts like that. But right now I wish he was back to the old ways because his question just put me in an awkward situation. After a while of silence,it was Rio who cut the silence.
"Mr. Edwards, don't take this personally or the wrong way but this happens, a lot. Actually, you're not the first it has happened to."
Oh Rio and his big mouth. Now look what kind of embarrassing stories he wants to put me through. Well, not on my watch.
[Fleur (sharpening her sword):Kye,show yourself. Don't worry,it won't hurt.]
[Kye(looking for Abe's number):Fleur,calm down.We can talk. Let the sword disappear.]
[Fleur:Heh, trying to embarrass the num....]
[Kye:Don't spill the beans yet Fleur. Ok, I'll show some mercy.]
[Fleur:Thanks Kye.]
"Hmph, some friend you are Rio. Wanting to spew out all my secrets before I even die. Boohoo....."
"Now now Fleur, I wasn't going to do that."
"You guys seem so close."
An icy voice rang through out the room exuding a very scary aura. It was Mr. Edwards, I didn't know he could be so cold. When no one answered, he stomped out the room. Sheesh,what's his problem? Tch,over ruly boss.
[Abe: Achoo, who's talking ill of me? Must be that girl.]
After Abe left, the rest of us bonded (yes, even Alec) it was nice. I mean,this is why I signed up for a job. They left too because apparently the medication made feel sleepy. It's nice when people care for you.

Why do I feel hurt that she is friends with that doctor,that they even each other since they were younger? Whoa, one girl, one tiny,small insignificant girl is trying to turn my whole world upside down. I need help. Emotions are really useless things.
[Kye:0-0 Then how will you fall for Fleur, Abe senpai?]
[Abe:#glares# focus on the book Kye.]
[Kye: Mind you Fleur is not tiny,senpai.]
[Abe: #ice cold glare#]
[Kye:#shivering in her boots# I'll get you help.]
Stuck in my thoughts after leaving the ward, my phone pulls back when it rings. I pull it out of my pants and try to understand the number. I hesitantly picked the call and waited for the caller to speak.
"Who is this?"
"...."
"Alright, let me cu...." I didn't even finish my sentence when I was cut off by a hoarse voice.
"Ah,Mr. Edwards. Impatient as always.
"Who is this?"
"That should be the least of your concern, Mr. Edwards. Or can I call you Arthur?"
"....." I went silent. Arthur, a name that represents my past that no one should no about. So who is this clown?
"Cat got your tongue Arthur? Haha, anyway, I just wanted to tell you that what happened eighteen years ago, is about to repeat itself. So, you had better prepare yourself. I won't go easy on you or your Flower. Mwahahahahaha!"
Silence.
Silence.
Flower, how long has it been since we last saw each other? Do.you know I constantly have nightmares?
A dailing tone woke me from my revelry and I quickly contacted Mike. "Track down the last call I got. Then prepare the men. We might have a man hunt on our hands." Mystery caller, you had better not have anything to do with Flower or else.....

Andjust like that, Cedric left for another country where he will face hisfirst threat,but that is for another time.
Sorry for the delayed updates,been really really sick and I was swamped with work during that time ,but don't worry, I'm all good now.
Let me know in the comments whom you think Flower is, I would really like to have a glimpse of your thoughts. Thanks for reading so far
