Arc 2: The sprial world: vampires extinction

15: Tango in love

It was a dog and cat day in the city. Moon and star hardly comes by. The air was cold and lighten lit within the thick clouds.

Rain pitter. Footsteps ran through the paved street

A young boy in a light long white singlet and red shorts ran pass the paved street.

The street light seem to be flickering like candles lights.

He huff with his squirted sight. The young boy often glare back a few times to check if he was being followed.

The rain became heavy. It beat the leave hard of the trees from a bird veiw direction as the blur silhouette ran pass.

Under the store building he shivered. His clothes were drench that one could see his skin for the cotton underwear.

He rubbed his shoulder and try protecting his chest from the cold.

But it was no avail as soon, his red lips loose it's vanity and he was gritty his teeth.

This young man knew that going home wasn't an opinion. If the rain and cold doesn't kill him then his step father would...

But he didn't regret beating his bratty step sister.

Gritty his teeth he blot for another hidden spot as the store building wasn't protecting him. He was getting more drenched intead.

So he ran away to anywhere in the rather odd quiet street. The Drenched raven stared at him and it wasn't the only one.

" Tango... Tango..."

" Huh?!"

" You daydreaming again... Is the date that boring?"

Tango quickly shook his head and slip his cup of tea but immediately spit it out at the latter before him.

" Beer?!" His eyes widen and him immediately felt awkward.

The other male just gave him a glare and stood up and walked away. It took Tango a while to regain himself and chase after the latter with a apology.

He did return and left some money on the table before chasing after the man. Again.

It was revealed that the chaotic date was held before the familiar store that the boy took shelter before.

And for some reason... He seem to still be standing their but his widen eyes and contrasting pupils refused to allow him to blink.

...

" You saying your son ran from home last night and have never returned."

The women nodded hard. She was wear a nurse outfit and for the bang under her eyes you could tell she was on night shift.

" Who was he left with?"

" His step father."

The female cop hum in response and her eyes narrowed but it made it nurse and older woman panic. As and open book the reaction wasn't hidden.

The woman then began to speak on how John lost his father at age five and had never liked his step father. She talked some more on their personal relationship including for the sake of the boy they didn't dare have other children.

At some point, she cursed her son for being ungrateful but everything sounded like she was defending her husband than worrying for her son.

So the police woman feeling curious couldn't help but asked...

" Your step husband... what does he do ?"

To this the woman flinch and bite her lips, she avoided the police woman eyes and picked her fingers.

With trembling voice she mutter:" Babysitting?" With such great uncertainty.

__________________

" Babysitting?! This guy doesn't look like a babysitter to me?!"

" Exactly."

John was 12 years old and attended the the community school but drip out at fifty grade.

" Wasn't his mom... What her name... Mis Katie a nurse?"

" I asked the same question.. but she claimed to have financial issues."

" If i was the kid I would have run away a long time ago... Step parents are the worse."

" Want some."

The two chatting women that munching on donuts with fine combination of cream and sprinkles suddenly resume a serious atmosphere and type frantic on their computer.

The door opened and their back relaxed seeing who walked in. It wasn't the team leader nor the cheif of police so their cross was saved.

They resume chatting again. Tango ignored them and sat on part of the desk. With a gloomy face that slump on his table and then tilt his head to the other side almost having an heart attack.

He fell for his chair attracting the attention of the other police women. Their lips opened but only to be shut back after seeing the arrival of the other person.

A heck of a beautiful. Long back curl that fell on the straight shoulder, wide yet seductive eyes and plump lips that fit perfectly on slightly cubby face. Her well proportional Bodie hug tight to the black leather pant and brown leather jacket.

This appeared to littering draw envy and dissatisfied from the other police women that fell insecured and angered by her dress code.

One of them reach for her fleshy stomach why glancing at the rip yet slender wrist.

How could God be unfair.

But nobody dare say anything so they could only curse her within their head.

The beautiful red eyes arc as she broke into a warm hearted smile . Her laugher made Tango embarrassed he quickly stood up and dust his butt why the girl intimate how he screamed and fall.

Tango face darken when at back his hand stop touching his butt as he teeth grit out a name.

" Merka...!"

She giggled.

For the machine, the cup was filled up and when it done it's purpose it was which off.

Merka slip for the coffee than placed it before Tango who glup it but then spilt it out.

" Damn it's too sweet."

She ignoring his outburst. Her face was seriously as she speak somberly.

" So he broke up with you?"

The expression on tango face dimmed as he placed the cup back to the table. The clock tick and the water tap rushed. Tango blinked his eyes and didn't realize he was now slipping the coffee. His shoulders were tense but he doesn't seems to sad but Meet felt sad for him.

She did patted his shoulder softy. She sat at his part of the table and Tango just keep sipping his tea. He had become single all over again due it wasn't the case but tango felt no need of explaining.

" So what you doing to do now?

Tango didn't respond and just stare at the girl like she was an idiot

" What?!"

" We didn't break up we just had dispute and decided to give everyone time to think things out.." Maria felt relieved then to betrouble again.

She left tango desk and went to filled her own cup of sweet sury coffee, walked back after a while."

"; Tango I think you should give him a chance." She glup the hot tea without a change of expression and then squeeze the cup like it's was paper.

That seems like a threaten move to the police woman that were gossiping instead of working. They gasp before resuming their work.

Tango just stared at her blankly before rolling his eyes know what was coming after that.

His attitude didn't upset Merka. Instead it fanned her motivation to motivate the latter about love.

" Tango..." She would start.

" Their are so many fishes in the river but it rare to find the one that taste so tender in any soup... Don't let him go."

Tango flip a case book causally ignoring Maria who paid no hind to his indifferent expression.

" If I was as lucky as you... I wouldn't let him of my grips, I would hold him and cherish him." Her eyes voice seem low and her eyes seem to glow. The air thin and dangerous Tango expression was a little sore knowing she was now speaking about a certain invent of her past.

His eyeslayers droop as he tap the table.

" But I'm not you because I'm your God mother...!" She hugged him quezzing his head against her huge melons.

Tango was both embarrassed and awkward. Aleast he wasn't straight.

A gentle cough separated them as they realize it was the investigator. Tango flashed the man a sweet smile but he glared at him then yank Maria with him who had a flutter expression.

" Don't forget what I told you...!"

She screamed weren't cut off even when the door was closed an gentle smile grace his face.

Tango sat for a while then decided to leave himself as he took a sick leave for a date but it didn't last two minutes before it was ruined.

Merka words echoes in his mind.

" A man like him is rare to come back... Who knows, he might be the cure to you delusional love for the team leader."

Tango opened his eyes after releasing a long exhale. His eyes drift to the close door at the right.

The door was close so the leader wasn't around... Infact alot of important people wasn't here.

He felt quite disappointed not seeing Weng.

He walked the the police lady that didn't seem to notice him approaching her and her second wasn't here. Tango could see her typing frantically but it wasn't about walk but about random things including dating app.

Seeing the familiar dating app. He rubbed his nose and swollen all his questions back before walking away.

Tango couldn't help but wonder.

' just were are you Weng shi.'

16: Train station

Mean while with the loud went rowdy train station were everyone were moving back and forth and their are times a painful squeeze could happen.

A man stool out. He was all in black and had red yet dead eyes. His aura are quite ominous that separates him for the rest of the world.

A child notice him and pointed why tugging his mother gown and when he got his mother attention he whispered into her with his hand pointing at the man.

" Devil..." His voice wasn't loud and could died within the crowd of noise but the man looked over and the mother drag her son away without scolding nor correcting him.

Typical.

Like she agreed to his words, cause they seem to be fleeing away.

He retreat his glare and his lips arc.

Half his face was covered by the neckline of his coat as his eyes drift back and forth like he was searching for something and that was not until he reach for his ear plugs and commented on something first.
