Chereads / The Demon Between Us / Chapter 8 - Booommm

Chapter 8 - Booommm

A little awkward, but they got through the afternoon pretty well. After that passionate kiss happened, it made both quite relaxed. Neither Gabriel nor Marcia tried to bring it up. They just got carried away. To be more precise, two adult humans were carried away. It's different if it happened twice. They were pretty sure they wouldn't do it twice. At least don't let their dirty mind think about repeating the incident. Gentle and passionate.

"I'll finish it in my room," said Marcia that afternoon, after they managed to list all the Homeless who came. Sister Angela appeared to be present yesterday afternoon. After the shooting incident this afternoon, I will probably check Marcia and Gabriel's condition. Meanwhile, Sister Naomi is still faithful in providing services for the homeless who have been appropriately recorded.

Marcia thinks the government should support the San Jose church in Seattle better. As one of the largest churches, San Jose can accommodate several Homeless with full responsibility. Please provide them with Health facilities from food to medicine. If this Church didn't exist, Seattle homeless people might be seen everywhere.

"Thanks for today," Gabriel answered doubtfully. The doubt in his heart was like, 'I don't want to have that dream again. The dream made Gabriel's quality of life decrease drastically. Before coming here, he could eliminate that fear by drowning in work or disturbing Isaac Liu and his friends. Now, there is nothing he can do but find out what exactly happened to him? Why is this dream always present every night?

"If you need me… you have my number… that's what I mean!" Marcia was a little nervous in front of Gabriel, making her feel like a boiled crab.

"Actually… I... never mind! See you later, Marcia," Gabriel was too embarrassed and walked away from Marcia just like that.

After that day, they spent the night in their respective rooms. Make friends on lucky phones they can still use. I don't know what would happen if the authorities also detained their cellphones.

Gabriel is still surfing cyberspace, doing work in his office, which is also left behind. Luckily he can still access all of his work via emails that Magenta sends daily. Never missed. Also, his conversation with Ishac was the best because Isaac is Gabriel's shield now. A shield when the family is looking for it. However, Magenta has also been 'setting' to say that Gabriel is abroad to attend the invitation of their company colleagues.

No one should know that he is currently undergoing social sanctions with a beautiful and sexy woman named Marcia Marie. 'Even I admit that Marcia is sexy.' Cash, the incident this afternoon with Marcia re-imagined in the eyelids.

'I could tell he was closing his eyes. His hand touched me too. He liked it. So it's not just my fault, even though I was the one who kissed him first. Damn! Why do her lips seduce me so much.'

'Never mind Gabriel, maybe he already has a girlfriend. In reality, he is hard to grasp. Gabriel's mind continued to talk in between his time to finish work via cellphone.

Finally, Gabriel fell asleep, and slowly the same dream came back. This time Gabriel began to notice some small things. Maybe a meaning from the tone and the soft singing he always heard. Or focus on a few people telling stories. Gabriel was determined to get something out of the dream. He tried to concentrate on remembering a thing or two. This dream was very dull for him. It felt like it was ending, but I didn't know what to end. But, for some reason, Gabriel was sure all of this had meaning. Maybe it's time for Gabriel to believe something from the reality of the world he's been living in all this time.

Kriiiinnngggg….

Gabriel woke up from the Alarm he had set. 6 am. Seattle was still very dark at that time. Gabriel decided to exercise in the Church's backyard for a while, like a graveyard for some of the Church's predecessors, maybe a priest or a nun, Gabriel thought. Gabriel started with light movements as a warm-up, flexing his body after a few days of not exercising. Gabriel is never absent from doing sports because his body will not be able to be perfectly formed suddenly. Gabriel is a perfectionist.

"HAAAAAAAA…," the screaming voice resounded. Making Gabriel look in all directions to find the direction of the sound…

Baaammmm…..

Instantly Gabriel lowered his head and then lay down as a reflex. Gabriel saw a puff of smoke coming from the direction of a building that looked like a mini church, but it was a graveyard.

Gabriel ran with all his might into the smoke-filled room, trying to break down the door that seemed to be held back. Gabriel repeatedly tried to break down, even with his strength, but couldn't move the door. Meanwhile, a woman's voice moaning from the inside was getting clearer and weaker.

Gabriel was running looking for something, as a lever of any kind, then he saw a wooden shovel that he thought could help him open the stuck door. With great difficulty and not seeming to give up, Gabriel kept trying until finally, the door opened with a thick puff of smoke slapping Gabriel. Coughing and shortness of breath immediately hit the chest until Gabriel stumbled backward. Dizziness hit his head, but Gabriel remained determined to save someone he overheard.

Gabriel moved through the puff of smoke, trying to feel something he wasn't sure what it was. In his brain just looking for a way to find someone there. Not long after, several people came with liquid nitrogen and sprayed it into the room so that the thick smoke slowly fell. Sister Naomi and a Church gardener came to help Gabriel and also someone to who Gabriel was referring.

"Inside…(cough)..(cough).. inside… there is a woman…cough… trapped... I heard it!" Gabriel's voice was low. He kept repeating his words, starting to pant and cough.

Gabriel saw the gardener moving inside while Sister Naomi confirmed Gabriel's condition, who was sitting on the floor and coughing. The smoke that entered his chest cavity was very much, making Gabriel a little tight. With Sister Naomi's help, he was out of the Stable to get fresh air to exchange for the air in his lungs.

Still gasping for air and coughing, Gabriel heard the thumping sound again.

Baaammmm…..

Duuaarrrr….

"Sister…sister…Sister Lucia…sister Luci…," the gardener ran from the stable, screaming in panic.

Gabriel and Sister Naomi, still in shock, couldn't help but stare and stare…

"What's with Sister Lucia….??"
