The town of Naria offered vibrant art and was renowned as a melting pot of culture with large population.
Rayan's car slowly came to a halt by the roadside of one of the busiest streets of the town. Inside the car, Rayan heaved a sigh of relief audibly as he couldn't contain the joy of the fact that soon, these two will leave him alone.
"I don't have to pay for the bandage, do i?" Rasha asked Rayan whilst preparing to get out of the car. She originally had planned on paying the jumpsuited bloke, she was not that of a freeloader type.
Of course Rayan did not mind about that but Specter had to pay for the jalabiya, beanie and sunnies he was wearing. Although Rayan was reluctant to take the money, because to him, his cloths were more important, he did not protest and simply accepted Specter's money as though the jalabiya was originally meant for sale.
"Th..the antidote" Rayan stammered when he saw Rasha about to get out of the car.
"Oh! my mind is just filled with the thought of that person, what do they call her"
After pondering for a moment, she clicked her fingers which created a dull sound since even the fingers were bandaged
"Maiden Houdini"
Rayan gulped from his saliva, that name was akin to taboo. To be honest, he was also engrossed in the thought of what the police had mentioned as to Maiden Houdini on the loose, aside from thinking about his own life of course. Now that Maiden Houdini was on the loose, the world is no longer safe, with certitude.
Naria town was the most comprehensible place where Maiden Houdini could be hiding after escaping from the forest, considering it was more nigh to the forest than any other town, thus as Rayan's hometown, he was deeply afeared for what might occur in the following days. Currently, the town was already accommodating security forces and agencies as the search for the fugitive continued.
"There's no antidote, but i can guarantee a painless death. May your soul rest in peace"
Rasha could not help against bursting out laughing when she saw fear paint Rayan's face entirely, her thing of amusement. She then opened the door and stepped out of the car leaving him with
"What a nincompoop. Never heard anyone saying there is no smoke without fire? similarly you won't die without a cause. I Rasha, is not a killer."
If the jumpsuited bloke was smart enough, he would understand what she meant by that because the pill she forced him to take, claiming that it was lethal was in fact a useless pill, it had no good or bad effect after consumption whatsoever.
The sky underwent changes until it was beautifully darkened upon the arrival of night.
Elsewhere,
"This is fate Ragnar, do you agree?"
The canine looked as though it was not the one she was talking to.
Night is the freedom of the mind but Rasha's mind was constricted to the thought of the past.
She was sitting on a balcony ledge whilst overlooking the great Naria town. Her bandaged body was not at all uncomfortable, for up till now, she was still in them. She certainly removed them though for the reason that she had to pray, as in among the muslims five daily prayers and then wore it back. Ragnar was lying in the same place as well with its eyes shut as if it was sound asleep.
Light coffee aroma diverted her concentration when Specter proffered a cup alongside some donuts.
Rasha took the plate and cup of coffee without saying thanks as one ought to do.
She sipped the coffee and passed the plate of donuts to her canine, placing it before the canine whose eyes opened upon the whiff of the donut's burnt sugar aroma that wafted straight to its snout.
