Chapter 8

Kelsey searched and found me in the kitchen after everything was over. She was surprised after my sudden disappearance and told me I needed to rush down to the hall coz my bossy boss was fuming.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Nothing much. I felt nauseated and so I came here."

"Nauseated????" She awe suspecting me.

"Five minutes back, you were just so enjoying, smiling, snickering and now you are nauseated?" She said crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.

I started biting my hands and nails which is a common phenomenon when I get worried over something or feel drastically disorganized. Kelsey before me was able to grasp something bizarre and she erupted with something unusual.

"Wait, are you pregnant?"

"God Damn you! sex yesterday night…. doesn't make me pregnant instantly."

"Oh sorry! So why you are here? You must be down." She dragged me out but I prevented her.

"I need to go home. Tell Mr. Kneedy that I am ill and returning home. Can you go that for me?"

"No." She declined.

"Good, make up any excuse, I am going and please do not forget to pick up my bag from the lockup. You know I can't go there."

"If you only tell why you are running?" Kelsey was desperate to know and I was very much confused what to say her. After all, we hardly had any secret.

Before booking a cab, I went to the storage room and picked up his jacket which I kept there. It was so fancy and expensive that I couldn't just keep it there. But escaping from there became difficult as Mr Kneedy was loitering around.

He never rests. The only way to escape from his catch, I wore the jacket so that he couldn't recognize me properly.

Since the back door was locked and in the front gate Mr Kneedy's hawking eyes were set on me, the only option left was to choose the unidirectional way to hotel insight.

I did so and easily escaped from his eyesight but only the half way I met the trance. He was approaching, talking to someone on the phone and I was standing at a distance, frozen and lost.

"Shall I shake my hand or I should run?... But, nonetheless, in a few days, he will discover me after all I work here."

Myriads of thoughts struck me down there until I regain consciousness. "How could I forget he is stepping here?" I turned back and fastened my steps and again halfway, I saw Mr Kneedy.

"Reckless situation…..when a problem arrives, it arrives from every direction."

Meanwhile, I checked into a room that was suitable enough to hide for a while. But who knows destiny plays with us?

It was the Devil's den.

While I was behind the door, my boss Kneedy and he were talking. With their talks, I could guess he was about to enter this room and so I barged inside the bed.

"Pathetic!" My head hurt a little as I hurriedly entered inside it. The door opened and Mr Avann entered. Momentarily I prayed that I should not be caught.

He walked in simply and sat in the bed. His phone rang and he picked.

He, "Have you found her?"

"No." A reply came, "There is no girl named Mystic in the club."

He, "Her name is Mystic, check it clearly. Ask the club owners for IDs and all."

"We did and still no result." The reply came.

"Have you looked at traffic cameras?" He asked.

"We are on the way for it. Two, or three days and we will get the report."

"Once you get it, stick it to me." He told and ended.

My mind was filled with devastation and depression. "Why is he looking for me?" I didn't steal anything, did not ask for money, or did not harm him in any way. I remembered he said, "I want it one day."

My legs shook in manner and my hands began to tremble. While still lying beneath the bed, I could only think of the worst possible fear, "What if he finds me?"
