1 Ch1: The flood comes suddenly

Flood

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land...

One of the moonlit nights - the middle of the ocean

She walked and the fear surrounded her in the corridors of that huge ship, and nobody notice her disappearance . Everyone was celebrating and dancing in the lower hall, everyone was enjoying the party yet she was afraid. Afraid that someone would see her.

She feels disgusted by herself, and only wishes to disappear.

What was that fateful day when she decided to work on this ship ?!.

She hit her head with the metal wall repeatedly and cursed herself for her stupidity, trying to think of a solution, but who would save her? That person?.

She took a deep breath trying to control her body and then with trembling fingers, enter that special number..

The first ring emanates from the handset ... the second ...

And with each ring the pulse of her pulse and the flame of her little hope, and finally in the third ring he answered.

- Allô..

Saturday 29 July - 8:15

- This is all the information that I managed to get. The 40-year-old man said to the young girl who sat in front of him while handing her a blue file across the table.

- There is also the title is true ?. She asked him while she examined the file eagerly and he pulled a long breath from his cigar trying to conceal his discomfort because this is the tenth time that she ask him the same question.

- Yes, Mrs. Katherine, you will be able to meet your sister after all those years. He said with a heavy smile

- I'm burning with desire to meet her, Mr Cruz thinks she will accept me ?.

She asked and he role his eyes secretly asking him self what is wrong with young kids those days wasting their time with a lot of thinking about what will happen, whether they thought about it and took a meditative or not, what is the use of losing all that energy to worry?

- Such a question I am not the one to answer. He told her as the smoke blew out of his mouth coolly she stare at him disappointed, he was a man as cold as ice.

- dull and reserved as usual, well prefer in this circumstance there are all your entitlements. She told him as a white envelope came out of her bag to extend it towards him as she stood up while he opened it and examined its contents

- Good luck, Miss Catherine, I was pleased to deal with you. He told her and he reached for his hand

- Thank you so much, and mutual pleasure. She answered him while shaking him in turn before leaving.

With a troubled heart, she went out of the office of Detective Cruz Curt, who she went to him as soon as she collected the large sum he had asked her to find her younger sister, who had been separated since childhood in an orphanage.

According to Cruz, her sister is now studying at an old university and living with her new parents, and she is now working in numbers of partial works to increase her expenses.

"Like me," she muttered with some delight because she shared her sister's business in the sub-business, at least something similar.

She stopped to see the file that contained the full information of her sister with an enthusiastic smile, her imagination wandering and touring her head as a photographer more than a different scenario for their first meeting.

Will she accept her ? Or will she even remember her ? She does not know, but she will understands it. Since childhood, she has protected her sister, she was her superhero; she never makes her felt her parents lose, but she was forced to abandon her, in order to let her have a better life than the orphanage.

Fortunately, her sister now lives well with her new family.

After putting the file in her bag, she went into the coffee shop where she worked, while her hands were busy holding her hair in the shape of a ponytail

- Good morning Catherine. The young Caucasian, who was surveying the floor with a smiling smile, told her

- Good morning Joey. She replied with a smile as she headed for the lounge where her closet was

- You seem to be in a good mood. Did you find the information you were looking for?

- Yes, I have found her address, and I will go to her after I finish my work.

- Congratulations, finally finished your search and you will meet your sister.

- I know, I'm very excited Joey.

- Do not worry, good things will happen if I always think about them. He told her as he refilled the pack of small sugar bags on the table in front of him

- Well, what about you? She told me you would go for an interview today.

Joy sighs in despair as he watches her take her place behind the table of account after she wore her bib and pinned the golden pin engraved with her name

- Unfortunately, they need an experienced journalist, but how can I get experience if someone does not hire me?

- The subject of work in the crimes section is difficult as you know, but do not worry sure you'll find a newspaper that appreciates your talent.

She told him with an encouraging smile and he smile back to her, then the bell rang hanging above the door of the cafe announcing the entry of the first customer.

Same day at 1:25

After changing her clothes, she hurried to the train station to head for the area where her sister lived with her second family. The tension was her companion during that short trip. What if her sister Katie did not accept her?

What will you do? She would surely die because Katie was always the only reason for Catherine to survive. She loved her so much that she sometimes doubted whether she was her mother; even Katie in her childhood was calling her mother.

A quarter of an hour after the train arrived at the station, she went directly to the nearest car heading towards the "Silver Seven Sisters Route" , where 302 is the home of the Rogers family the family who adopted her sister.

She stopped at the end of the road to see the houses scattered here and there in opposite way, the place is cold in this area which is supposed to be quiet.

But...

Why do police cars fill the road?

She looked at the numbers of houses 299, 300, 301, 302!

Why police cars stand in front of the house of her sister's family ?!

- No! My daughter Katie will not do it !.

Why does that woman cry in the name of her sister?

With her feet felt like boiled pasta, Catherine slowly moved toward a place where many people gathered.

She hear their whispers but she can hardly believe what they are saying.

"Katie committed suicide!"

"She threw herself into the ocean"

"She did not seem to face any problems"

"How can she do that to her parents!"

- No way..

Catherine whispered incredulously, what would make Katie commit suicide ?!

She looked down at that forty-year-old woman who was torn from crying with a red face and her husband, who was trying to pull her out despite his hard struggle to stand up because of his one leg.

The policemen were walking towards their cars carrying the items of her sister in boxes of cardboard with the word "EVIDENCE" written in bold black.

As if the earth had melted under her legs, as if the sky had cracked and fallen over her head, her world had gone out of her and her eyes were wide with tears.

It does not make sense what happens around her right now !

She was supposed to meet her sister today and spend her remaining days happy with her, to see her grow up happily and marry, to raise her children with her, to hug her at least ..

She fell to the ground as her dreams plunged into a deep valley surrounded by darkness, and the only light of her life faded.

Yes, the first flood struck her...
