CHAPTER 8

FAR AWAY

Love,oh dear love,I am disappointed,you couldn't keep your end of the bargain.well can say it wasn't good but I think enough is enough.we are done love and don't try to think that you have won .I can't, the pain is too much,so I'm begging you oh sweet love to stay away from me

NOW ONTO MY TRIP,well I decided to go to California.It had been my dream as a kid to go there and now here I am on my way there.Finally I arrived in the big city,it was filled with many busy people going about their activities.I stayed in a hotel,a classy one to be precise.I still had 3 million dollars on me.Yeah three million dollars,A year ago I won a lottery luckily and that made me rich,I was keeping a low profile in this new land,I needed a Job to blend in after 2 weeks in the hotel.I pursued IT in university so that should tell what kind of Job I'll go for,well there was thus Software and gaming company,so I gave it a try.Well thanks to fate they approved and landed Mr in the cyber security unit.It was great having to keep the company safe from all cybercrimes and viruses....Yeah,the job seemed a little bit tough,I had to work 12 hours a day,the company gave me one day of'sunday'.life was moving smooth now,though sometimes I sheared a little tears because of my past.I had missed her so much but it's all in the past now,I had to move forward and that meant forgetting about everyone in the past.California was a big city and a new one,new city new place new life .I had no intention of bringing any female into my life.I now know,they are parasites...ready to feed on everything you got and I wasn't going to allow any one bring pain to me ever.I tried hard to avoid love,well that only worked for a few months and everything changed on February 16th.I had closed from work as usual,packed my car in the hotels garage.My room was on the second floor of the three floored hotel building.I walked slowly with my hand in my pocket humming. I heard a small quick scream,it seemed to be a woman's voice

I moved slowly with caution and there she was, pinched against my beautiful door with a strange man holding her right hand against the wall.I couldn't see his face,well he had a black cotton mask on and the girl was daggered in the chest with blood flowing out of her.She seemed to be in pain.what should I do what,what..come on Jake ...do something..I struggled with my self in thought. I had never encountered a situation like this my life,I had seen these cases in movies but I didn't expect to ever encounter one in real life.I had to do something or she dies... Hei there..leave her alone..I am calling the cops..I shouted after I reveled my self.The man just started running away to the opposite direction and I stood still until he was out of sight.The woman layed on the floor bleeding.I had only one duty to perform now,I lifted her in my arms and started moving.This moment reminded me of Elizabeth,she was in my arms just like this woman.I placed her at the back seat of my car and drove to the hospital without hesitation.
