-So Jerry. Only for reassurance I gotta ask, what did I break or throw at night? Jane got a good sleep?

-Well she was fine. But I am really going to miss all the wine that you spilled across the bed. Those were not regular you know.

-Okay. I am not arguing on this one. But I don't remember anything.

-(Sighs)...I was done cleaning up when you got my attention. A stunning woman soaked in alcohol. In freaking WINE!!

-...Thanks; I guess?

-Um no!

-Excuse me??

-Not yet; I changed the bedcover, also threw away the bottles of perfectly fine wine that you wasted.

-I am really..

-You may not have noticed but you're wearing different clothes,- Now that's something you immediately investigate after hearing about it. I was being too much comfortable with him to notice anything significant about the surroundings.

-Yeah...I see. Nice stocking and I am loving the coat. Always a fan of longline. They are so similar to mine.

-Well the skirt isn't. Cause yours, dark brown one was in the ground by the time I placed new bed sheets. Then it was a real pain to get you to sleep.

-...,- I was aware of my drunk self from my past experiences. But I think this time I took it too far.

-I will just have a hard time explaining these scratches to Layla. You tore through my shirt. Wouldn't want to be on your bad side if situation calls.

-...Jerry.

-It's okay, don't take this seriously.

-...

-So, I went ahead and inquired about your parkour kid at the clinic.

-Hmm. What's his situation?

-Good. Doc told me that she tried contacting you afterwards but couldn't get to you.

-Geez; and you're trying to leave Jane with me. (Sighs)I am slipping.

-No, you were slipped cause of all those alcohol.

-If you say so. Alright I need to get to the clinic. Let's meet up with Layla and Jane for now.

-Alright. They should be..

-I see them. There, over the bus stop.

11:30 | Selina Johnson | Jane | Layla

-Alright sweetie. Bye now.

-Come home soon. Tonight you'll cook and I am going to help!

-I will try Jane. But it's so much work today. You know right? Police don't get to have holidays?

-Yes...Alright then, get those bad guys Sel.

-Yes Ma'am!- If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you. It would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions. Seeing her smiling face, I felt satisfied with me being me, not the other girl; asking questions I don't have answers to.

-...

-Hey! Chin up Layla. I am not stealing your man. Listen, you are a fine young woman; and beautiful in all senses. Your life is sorted out whereas mine is still broken, if you haven't noticed that already.

-I noticed that. That's why I am being careful here with you.

So the chapters here will be done in a more simple way:

01. The events will be described by the conversation done among the heroes rather than the boring and lengthy explanation.

02. Number of metaphors will be severely less.

03. Events before these two volumes may introduce a new character as the main protagonist.
