Back Again

"Hah.." Detective Lewis let out a long and heavy sigh as he leaned next to his car, raising his head up to look at the sky as he started sipping the cup of coffee in his hands.

"Monsters and mutants…" He mumbled under his breath, afraid of sounding like a lunatic to the passers-by. If only they knew, he thought to himself.

He desperately wanted to tell someone. Anyone. He wanted to get this off his chest, just so that he doesn't feel anxious anymore. But he knew. He knew that he couldn't tell anyone. He knew that what he knows is purely confidential, and spilling this news would only result in widespread panic.

"I definitely did not sign up for this," He clutched his forehead, and his hands felt wet. He looked at his palms only to see that they were completely covered in sweat. He was sweating like crazy.

"Jesus Christ, it's not even a hot day." He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
