Come Clean (2)

The surrounding it still as eerie as the night in a countryside, Daniel with his fingers strumming the arm rest, he keeps his gaze locked on Helena while his mind completely gone haywire. Assuming is one thing, however hearing it first hand is a complete different feelings, he had thought he prepared himself for the outcome of Helena confessions, nonetheless he still felt everything she said its surreal.

Realizing Helena halted her speech, he then urging her to continue and ensuring her he will only be listening and wont be interrupting.

Helena sighed and slowly walked to the bay window and stare deeply straight on the hospital beautiful garden..

"I was killed by Francesca at your Casino while i was meeting my team and the next thing i know i woke up as this Helena".

She knew she sounded crazy, wait until she disclose who is Cael.. however that is not up to her, she wants Cael to tell Daniel himself about the matter. She had tell everything to him including her time in The Cabal, skipping the part where she fall in love with Ethan, she even mention about their first met and how they work together to disarm the group that attacked the Casino. Daniel was so focused on the part and every now and then he smiled hearing the story.

The feeling of honesty engulfing her, for once she felt relief, as if a burden lifted from her shoulder. All her life, she never knew what honesty felt like, their life revolves around missions, lies, undercover, making her heart and humanity grew apart with each other.

"For your info, this Helena, i do not think she is a simple person, you need to find Lorenzo and have a talk with him. I was approached by someone name Ethan, and based on the conversations we had, i do not think its a good sign".

She then hurriedly went to the end tables of her hospital bed and retrieving the USB drive given to her by Ethan, Cael took it the night she got into the shootings and return it to her earlier. Since she promised to watch it together with him.

Daniel eyebrow raised hearing Ethan's name, he had long heard of the man.. he was in the Cabal and was revoked access and dismissed as an agent, he went rouge and starting his own shadow organizations. The Cabal had been spying on the organizations movement discreetly, until now they have not been able to catch or even obtain an information regarding any activities.

"Do..do you believe everything i said" Helena had to ask..

Daniel lips curled and nodded, he knew she was not the real Helena. The explanation sounds almost impossible, as if its like the novel and movies, however deep down he knows, she was not the Helena before.

"Yes.."

Scratching her head a little confused, she just realized, it was not that hard to be honest. This man is as intelligent as her, and of course he is not one to rush to a conclusion and make a hasty decision and even has the heart to lock her in the mental institute.

Convincing herself over and over again, she smiled and sat back on the bed holding the drive in her palm. The atmosphere is awkward, she is a person who needs to work on her romance skills and the Greek god in front of him, unfortunately also do not possessed a romantic side of him making the situation dead and awkward.

As if the passionate kiss never happen, both keep stealing glances toward each other and when their eyes met they smiled and continue looking around. Both has a totally different input inside their mind, Helena is worried she sounded crazy with her confession, and Daniel is worried he is the crazy one for believing this without a doubt. He knows it is true and Helena mention of the Cabal took him by surprised, making him knew that she was not lying.

The door was opened revealing Cael that walked inside the ward taking seat on the bed next to Helena, he can hear the relief sigh coming from both adult in front of him like they viewed him as a savior. Judging from Helena's comfort and body language, it seems everything goes well. Looks like she has succeed confessing to Daniel and him being the smart one understand the situation further.

Smile blooming from his chubby cheeks, his family at last all in one roof. He felt teary thinking about it, in this world, his dad will have the chance and redemption for love, and so does his mom. While he gets to see his parents happy and spending time with them.

Not wasting time he hugged Helena that stiffened on his side, still working on her maternal instinct slowly.. she raised her hand and gently tapping Cael's head. He released the hug and looked at Daniel that smiled seeing them. Getting of the hospital bed, his teary eyes no longer able to stay obediently on his eye rim, it fell like a waterfall..

Helena took the water next to her and take a sip for her throat, talking too much and silent at the same time completely making her vocal cord protesting.

"Daddddd!!! Thank you for believing my mom"

He rushed to hug Daniel, and the water that Helena just took a sip for her parched throat spurt out from her mouth. Well about that part...

"WHAT??" Daniel eyes widen....
