131. Red-Tinted

"Where is she?" 

The blue eyes closed. He ducked his head under water in the bathtub. Cooling off, taking his mind off last night's failure even for just a moment. His left hand shot up, breaking the calm water of his tube, reaching for a phone he left on the dry bathroom stool beside him. A second later, he resurfaced, right hand brushing his golden-brownish hair back as drops of water rolling down his skin. 

Hendra opened his blue eyes, somehow a little darker than his usual bright sparks. Red tinted after he refused to rest and ended up falling asleep early in the morning. 

[Surya, ask Dea to tell Anantha that Aruna is not home yet. The last time she was seen together with Rey. I want to know how Anantha react, and what excuse he will use for Rey]

On the other side of the line, Surya obeyed.

[Substitute me for the meeting today with the accident's victims. I want Penki to be arrested]

This time, Surya refused.
