Aiden is injured

Orlee remembered the other guy Silas was outside the room and was worried about the stranger since he didn't know about him waiting outside.

She ran outside the room but was shocked to see Aiden trying to get up with the help of the stranger.

"Aiden!" She cried as she approached him.

"He's injured. Don't jump on him" The stranger said irritatingly when he saw the same female creature.

"You're acting like I'm about to die Calder" Aiden spoke amusingly at his friend's display of cautiousness.

Calder glared at his friend as he put his friend's hand on his shoulder. Aiden gave a little laugh but yelped when his stomach hurt "Ouch!"

Orlee shot daggers at Calder, she wasn't going to jump on Aiden. She could clearly see he was injured.

"Are you alright? Why did you come back here after you are done with the speech? That goon did this to you right?" Orlee spoke hurriedly.

Aiden was about to speak but stopped when he heard a police yell.

"Freeze!!" The police yelled and raised his gun pointing towards them and particularly at Orlee.

All three of them stopped in their tracks. Orlee raised her hands in the air and spoke nervously "The message you received was from me. You can't raise your gun at us, I can sue you for th... "

"I said, Freeze! Don't you dare make a move Mister. Stop right there!" The police yelled again ignoring the chattering of Orlee. He speed-walked past her and towards the door the wrongdoer ran.

"Oh!" Orlee interjected as it dawned upon her that he yelled at Taylor who tried to run away and was behind her all the while.

Aiden chuckled but grunted again while clutching his stomach.

Orlee observed his face with a shiner on his left eye, blood at the corner of his mouth and his jaw already swollen a little. The way he was clutching his stomach, she guessed Silas must have punched him in the guts. She was feeling extremely guilty because what had happened to Aiden then, was entirely her fault.

"I'm sorry Aiden. If I had not pushed you into giving that damn speech, you wouldn't be in this mess." Orlee said feeling awful.

"Of course it's because of you female creatures, he's in this mess" Calder angrily muttered under his breath but it was loud and clear enough for Aiden and Orlee to hear.

Hearing this Orlee felt even sadder but glared at Calder feeling irritated and angered with the way he addressed women as though they are some evil monsters.

'What is with him and this creature thing?' Orlee wondered why he always addresses women as female creatures.

"What?! No, I would have come here at this time for Selena to know how she was doing even if I had not given any speech. Even now, I came here for her." Aiden said hurriedly. Aiden ears tinted with red in embarrassment as his motive towards coming here was out.

"Also, you and I both do not know that they would have come back for her in this short time" Aiden further explained to her as he didn't want his friend to feel guilty for something that's not in their hands.

Orlee widened her eyes when she heard Selena's name realizing she was still inside the room. "You guys go, I'll get Selena. Be careful Aiden"

Calder frowned when he heard that but chose to ignore it since he has a patient in his hands who needs medical attention.

...

Orlee went inside the room and sighed when she saw Selena was sleeping peacefully her head resting on the table.

Selena's eyes jerked open when she heard the sound of the door being shut but felt relieved when she saw it was Orlee.

"Sorry!" Orlee sheepishly said for waking her up from her peaceful sleep but Orlee had to get her out of here. "Anyways we need to get out of here. Come on!" Orlee dragged Selena out of that room.

"Why? My parents aren't here yet. Let's wait, It's only safe here" Selena said trying to stop Orlee from dragging her out.

Orlee widened her eyes while looking at Selena and said " It's not safe here! You don't know what just happened now" Orlee told what happened to her and Aiden entirely in a short story while walking.

On their way back to the entrance, they saw Aiden and Calder speaking to the policeman, who chased after Taylor. They were making their way out of the backstage but a policeman had stopped them"Ms.Hill"

Orlee and Selena approached the policeman, who was smiling at them very kindly. "I am sorry that you had to go through that. If you please cooperate with us and answer a couple of questions, this will help us in finding their motive behind all. Hm?" The policeman, who appears to be in his mid-forties, asked very softly as though he was talking to two five-year-old toddlers.

"It's alright with me sir." Orlee said with a small smile on her face because of the policeman's kind behavior and turned to Selena if she's okay with this interrogation. Selena nervously bit her lip while looking at his name on his badge and his rank and nodded her head.

"I am Jack Fredson, Seargent" Jack introduced himself to them, then pointed to the other policeman, whose age would be in late-forties and said "and that one, Victor Gerald, Senior Seargent."

"Miss. Selena, Can you tell us what exactly happened in the morning back in the security room?" Jack asked. Selena shivered while thinking about the morning-incident and told everything to the Seargent.

"Did you get a hold of any of their things, Miss. Selena? I suppose you are not hiding anything about this matter? Of course you won't, given how dangerous the situation is." Jack said suspiciously all the while laughing to not make them feel uncomfortable while looking at the nervous figure in front of him. 'Most true information is yielded only when the person is comfortable with the other party' was Seargent's strategy to get information out of people and that was the reason why he would act kindly.

"No, Sir" Selena trembled under his judgemental gaze. Only she knows if she had hidden anything or not.

"My parents must have arrived, I must leave" Selena hurriedly said and turned to run out of the backstage but the Seargent stopped her. "I am sorry Miss. Selena, I suppose it's your English name, May I know what is your actual name?"

"Tan Zhen!" Selena left, more like ran out of the backstage, tightly gripping the USB device in her hand as though someone would steal if at all she lost her grip on it.

Hello Strangers..

Why do you think Selena has lied to the cop about the USB?

Stay safe guys!
