The Odd Eye (2)

A man in a black suit coming out of the car opened by the driver. Helena's eyes is looking at the shoes the man was wearing, the shiny Italian leather shoes reflecting the scorching sunlight. Helena's eyes narrowed trying to guess who this guy was. From his clothes alone, it does not seem for him to be an ordinary working class man, a few seconds later the white sedan stopped behind the luxury car, and the man who had just turned his back on Helena turned to greet the arrival of passengers from the car that had just arrived.

Daniel smiled at the old man and extended his hand to shake. They resumed their conversation before Daniel felt like there were eyes looking at him from afar, he turned to make sure of his guess. At the same time Helena had finished turning off her cigarette butt and opened the door of the jeep and jumped in.

She changed her car's gears to the D symbol on the center console and drove away leaving the area, for a moment, as Helena passed them, her eyes and Daniel met from afar. Daniel was stunned to see Helena looking in his direction. Those eyes ..... those are the eyes that has bugged him for a month since the chase incident.

Daniel has been looking for the odd eyed woman for 2 months but to no avail, while Anwar who was assigned to find the recording on the highway also failed, the recording no longer exists. The footage seemed to have been tampered with, there was no footage showing a high -powered motorbike being chased by two cars.

He remembered the tag number on the jeep before returning his focus onto the discussion with the property owner in front of him. Daniel's mind was in chaos wondering, what if the search for the plate number would not be successful because of the non -existent registration.

After the therapy session with Soraya, Helena returned to HQ and continued her work in the laboratory, after scanning the data provided by her colleague, she rested for a while while washing the test tubes and beakers that had been used by her colleagues and making sure the equipment clean and ready for the later use. Helena's cell phone rang symbolizing the name of the dialer, [Lorenzo Reyes]....

She picked up the phone casually, as she was still furious with Lorenzo over the day -period incident. Helena pinched the cell phone between her shoulder and cheek as she wiped her hands dry with a white towel on the lab iron table.

"yeap" that's all she can say for now.

"The old master Anderson invited us to Cade and Molly's engagement party in two weeks from now". Lorenzo spoke.

"I wont be going.."

"i do not take no for answer, i expect you to be there" Lorenzo hung up the phone as fast as lightning, not wanting to give Helena a chance to dispute the set decision.

Helena bit her lip in a sign of dissatisfaction with Lorenzo's actions. At this time, she prayed to God that if she died, God better resurrect her to be an insignificant person in the Cabal.

The Lab door opened and Raymond came carrying lunch which was packing in a thermos container to control the temperature, so that the food was still hot.

Helena has a habit of not eating for days, this is one of the symptoms of psychological problems she is experiencing. Growing up in Lee garden villa, Helena would was used to not been fed by her stepmother and step -sister.

Helena pinched her nose and smirked as the smell of the food grew stronger, the meat soup containing celery and radish was opened and placed in front of her together with the white rice and mixed mustard greens grind the main course. Raymond ignored Helena who behaved like a picky eater child at meal time, he handed a plastic plate to Helena and scooped up the side dishes on the table, and gestured her to eat up.

"when the last time you eat?" Raymond poured the coffee in the thermos into a ceramic cup and pushed it towards Helena.

Helena played with rice and the side dishes on her plate, she closed her eyes before taking a bite of the food. As she chewing the food, her eyes looked sharply at Raymond who was eating like a glutton, after a few spoonful of rice Helena sipped the coffee Raymond brought and said

"I am full", the spoon she used was placed on the edge of the plate and she wiped her mouth with the napkin. Her desk drawer was opened and she took out the energy bar and unwrapped the bar wrapper carefully and eat it with her close, enjoying the taste of it.

"If Daryl was here, he would have knocked your stubborn head". Helena who was chewing stopped for a moment, Raymond regretted the words that came out of his mouth. None of them wanted to talk about Daryl, the subject was taboo, however it has to be done regardless.
