CHAPTER 17: DNA of Amber
1007 Words
GICCA'S POINT OF VIEW
My heart was pounding...
My sweat was dripping...
I feel pain ... and blood...
"Don't make noise, hold on..." a child's voice whispered to me as he pulled me towards a place I don't know.
I can't speak...
I can't move...
I feel weak ...
I closed my eyes slightly as my eyes met a dazzling light above, it took me seconds to realize that it was a street light. Where am I?
"Hold on still, this won't hurt you," still child's voice.
I cannot turn my face to see him, I'm too weak to move. I felt a sudden sting on my neck, I winced in pain. I want to scream how stingy it was but I couldn't... I'm too weak...
"You'll be okay, Amber. Don't worry, I'm here." the care on his voice was visible. Who is this child? What did he do to me?
My eyes were voluntarily closed as I felt sleepy. But a sudden snap made me open it right away. My eyes widened, I could feel that. My heartbeat raced, my breathing quickened.
I looked at the child, he just smiled at me, "Your dad saved you." he said. "You are saved by his creation,"

I woke up while holding my throbbing chest. My eyes widened as I looked around, Ali, Rique, Lance and Eliote were dumbfounded looking at me. I was losing my breath, I couldn't speak.
"What happened, Gicca?" Ali asked.
"Have you had a bad dream again?" Lance asked.
I was still gasping for breath, I could not speak. I also felt the trembling of my body.
"Is it a bad dream again?" Eliote asked worriedly and he sat down next to me, on the bed.
"Drink some water first," said Lance who is now holding a glass of water.
Traces of concern can be seen on their faces. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I shook at Lance's offer of water. I definitely can't afford to drink water while catching my breath.
I closed my eyes to calm myself down. *Inhales, exhales* What kind of dream was that? Streetlight again. The young Mc again... but wait, there was a new event. Mc called me by another name, I can't remember what he called me. All I can remember is that he said my father's creation saved me. What was that creation?
I knitted my forehead when I opened my eyes—I gradually could breathe properly. I immediately threw my sharp gaze to Eliote, "My strange dream is coming back. Maybe the hallucination will go after. Do you still have medicine? Did you bring it?" I said one after another out of turmoil in my mind.
I can never go crazy again. Why did it come back again? Was it because I stressed myself out yesterday at the mansion? Or because I stopped taking medication?
Eliote shook his head, "No more, Gicca. Calm down first. Drink some water." he said.

"How will you work on Amber's DNA?" Ali asked while wearing a disposable gloves. We need disposable gloves so that there will be no trace of fingerprints on the things we touch. By the way, we had gloves yesterday. Of course, safety first.
Lance shrugged, "Maybe I'll just take it to the doctor I know. He's a good friend of mine. I know he won't put me at risk." he replied.
It is now 9 am, I could already breathe well. I just drank water and forced myself to calm down, then I was already fine. Maybe I was just really stressed yesterday, that's why I had another bad dream. But the strange thing is, why is the place of my dream still in the streetlight? What is so special about streetlight?
We are now digging up the things we took inside the mansion. Let's see what information we can find. I hope I can find something that can lead us to the suspects. I know it's near to impossible but I hope we can find something.
Rique nodded at what Lance said, "That is a good idea. When do you plan to consult to your doctor friend?" he asked.
"Right now. Today. We don't have much time to waste. It's getting hotter and hotter, we need to speed up our movement." Lance replied.
"But, we know we can't solve it right away. It takes a lot of time. Just chill. Always take care." Ali's reminder.
"That is what wrong with us, we always limit ourselves, we always think of negative things. We should do our plan towards the mission, and not waste our time thinking about negative things." said Lance.
Ali sighed, "You take care. Just be careful." she said.
Lance smiled, "I will. Thanks. While I'm out, make yourselves busy and find a thing that can unblur the suspects. Okay?"
We all nodded. Then we resumed to what we were doing. I took care of what I've got one by one, and Eliote helped me. Ali also fixes her handle. Rique observes the photos we took yesterday at the mansion, and Lance arranges himself for his walk to his friend—the doctor.
Hopefully we can successfully complete the mission, and hopefully it will happen soon. I do not want to get to the point where we will be arrested without even achieving this mission. I know I disgraced myself to my parents, but I hope they will at least be happy and be proud of me in this mission. (If ever we succeed)
"I found a photo album!" I shouted and I raised the photo album to let everyone know about it. Eliote just raised a brow at me for being loud.
Ali and Rique was stunned, and together they went to the sofa where Eliote and I were sitting, "You should check that properly. But wait, let me first see how George and Amber looked like." said Ali.
"I got to go, guys!" Lance said goodbye to us then opened the door. Doesn't he want to see Hark's photo album?
