Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Damage is Already Done (Part 2)

I took a deep breath and sighed. "Kenneth!" He keeps glaring at me. Maria stands in front of me, grabbed my hand. "If you keep pointing gun at me, I will bring Theo out from this!"

Kenneth put his gun down and sighed. I should leave. "What are you doing here!? Do you want to..."

"Kenneth, enough!" I took a deep breath, sighed. I shouldn't visiting them. "I leave." Kenneth following Maria to their bedroom and leaving me alone.

I'm looking at my phone. Right, I have a meeting with her. Huft... how can I escape in this situation? "Maria!" He keeps calling her name.

I heard knocking on the door. They keep arguing as the sound of the bell keep ringing. I'm walking to the door and opened it. "Oh, Alexa! What are you doing here? Where's Kenneth?"

I furrowed my brow. What he was doing here?! Why he searching for Kenneth. "What are you doing here? I just... checking on him, and turns out..."

"Ah... I see." He put his hand around my shoulder. "Kenneth owe me 10.000 C-Coins last night." What Maria said it's true? He's into gambling now?!

I'm scratching my hair as we walking to the parking lot. "So, inheritance, huh!? I'm not sure he... can bought an apartment in this elite area."

We looked at the top of the building. Green Gold Apartment is the most luxurious apartment for rich people. Criminals, corrupt cop, higher ups, and official who could buy this. "I forgot you also can buy apartment here, Alexa. Why are you not followed him!?"

I shrugged my shoulders and sighed. He's right. I could buy a unit from my 'retire' money. "Do you know, Chief Carson keep asking your condition through anyone who patrolled in your area. How's your hand, Lieutenant?"

I'm not Lieutenant anymore, Jayesh. Why you keep calling me that!? "So... wanna bet?" He chuckles and shook his head.

He tapped my shoulder twice before he gets inside to his car. "Don't forget told Kenneth that I'm asking for my money!"

I gave him thumbs up as he leaves me with my all sports car in this parking lot. I sits on my car hood, then sighed. I'm looking at my wrist watch. How long they will stopped. "Alexa?"

I'm looking at next and tried to give him a smile. "Hey, buddy! You got your ice cream?" He nodding his head. Theo showed me his chocolate ice cream to me.

"Did dad will leave me and my mom, Alexa?" God, Kenneth. What the fuck are you doing. I ruffled his hair and forced a smile.

"Why your dad will leave you and your mom, hm?" I asked.

Theo eyes start to puffy. "Dad said it's..."

I heard they yelling at the each other, even on the lobby. Can you at least not fight in front of your son, Kenneth?! "Hey, Theo Bud." I'm looking him into his eyes. "Can you get inside of my car with Jynx?"

He's nodding his head and get inside the car. I think, I should waiting someone to call a police to split them.

I'm not in duty, yet. I can't access my weapon and tazer for 2 weeks. "Jynx, called the police. Can you request to them not to detained his dad in front of him?"

[Calling the police...]

I keep observed them from the safe distance.

I took a deep breath and looking at Cecilia. Glad she's the one who patrolled in this area. "What's bring you here, huh?! I just told..."

"I want to visiting a friend. What about you? Patrolling in this area or taking overtime or just hunt a bounty?! I know you don't like this place, but why?"

Cecilia rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine, you've got me." I'm chuckling and shook my head. "I... miss you on the street, Alexa. Just..."

She sighed and looked at me. "He's not welcoming you anymore, Alexa. It's not your fault." She's maybe right about that. None of this was my fault.

I took a deep breath and sighed. "That kid have a place to stay?" I'm nodding my head. Cecilia tapped her earpiece and sighed. "This is Officer Cecilia Carter with badge number 9901233385237709. We have..."

She walked to her partner as she talking to her radio. I took a deep breath and looking at Theo who was sleeping on the backseat. "Dollface.."

I rubbed my eyes and sighed. "Reschedule the meeting, we can't bring this kid to the meeting." Jynx nodding her head and gets inside to the car.

"So... your Android drive you home?" I'm nodding my head. Cecilia seems relief about that. "I know you care with that kid, Alexa. He..."

I know. As an officer we know the worst. "Mr. O'Kenna will detained for 9 days at Kenning' Stone Police Department. We also got a warrant for him because of... he dealing drugs." He already gone too far, doesn't he?

First, lose his job. I only can forced a smile and looking at what I made this time. Linda will happy if her mom already dead, but what about this family!? "Do you need anything else before I leave?"

I shook my head and sighed. "Maria will go home tomorrow, if the doctor said that her womb it's fine. You can visit her at the hospital tonight." She leaves us with her partner. Seems like she's hesitance to leave me.

She keeps looking back at me as the wrinkled on her face. I send a message to her. With a thin smiled, I'm waving my hand on her.

As they leave from this All the resident here watched as if it's a show. Ironic, isn't it? "Ms. Dollface..."

"Send her a message that I will come to her hose aulone, Jynx. Not tonight!" I get inside of the car and sighed. How much people should suffer to searching for a man. That man, I don't know if he still alive or already dead.

in Hexia Ruins, there's lot of ruins. Should I found the clue from there? If he was there, why he disappear and leave me alone?!

"Ms. Turner, where we going?" I keep thinking all night his whereabout. Should I give up? "Ms. Turner?!" Jynx raised her voice.

"Drop me at her house. I will go home by a taxi." She nodding her head and drive to her house. What the fuck she wants from me again? Well never mind. Maybe she wants me to clean her mess again.

I'm looking at Theo from the rear-vision mirror. He fall asleep. I took a deep breath and sighed. I hope you're future more brighter, Theo. I'm sorry.
