Chapter 4 Chasing To My Home

1446 Words
   “ Stop!” Seeing that he wanted to slip away, Fiona snapped and reached her hand to catch Marlow again. But he wasn’t an easy target this time. To her surprise, he deftly avoided her hand and slipped away.  “See you next time!” Marlow waved his hand and turned around to leave. Fiona wanted to take him to the police officers just because she was pissed off. But Marlow’s grappling skills now had aroused her suspicion. Burning with anxiety, she took out the gun on her waist and pointed at Marlow’s back and shouted, “Stop! Or I will shoot you!” Marlow stood still at the click sound of pulling the safety. When he turned back, the cheeky grin on his face disappeared. What replaced it was a seriousness that made Fiona’s heart beat faster.  “Do you know what happened to the last person who pointed a gun at me? Besides, who told you that a policeman could use a gun so casually?” Before Fiona knew what happened, that bastard already grabbed it from her hand! It was a big deal for a policeman to lose his gun. So she rushed up desperately to get it back. But she missed again. Slightly moving his upper body, Marlow dodged Fiona’s pouncing. She couldn’t see clearly the movement of his hands, but the gun had been disassembled into pieces.  “As you are a pretty lady, I’ll let you go for once. If this happens again, the punishment won’t be that your breasts being groped.” As he said that, his hand quickly pressed on her bosom and rested there for a split of a second. Before Fiona snapped back from a state of shock, he had already disappeared.  “You bastard! I’ll kill you!” She stamped her foot furiously but could do nothing. She couldn’t ignore that the dismembered body of her gun was still on the ground. She turned back and happened to see the thief trying to conceal his smirk. That poor guy became her punchbag immediately. “What’s so funny? Do you believe that I can make you unable to see the sun tomorrow? Pick up the parts for me!”  “Madam, my hands are cuffed behind my back!” Fiona lifted her foot and gave his butt a kick. “Shut up! Since you have the skills to steal others’ purses, you should know how to pick them up with your hands cuffed. Don’t waste my time.” Marlow didn’t know how Fiona abused the unlucky thief. He was walking towards home with a gloomy expression. He wouldn’t like to go home but he had to eventually. After leaving the pretty policewoman behind, he strolled as slowly as he could. When he finally arrived at the gate of the building, he lifted his head and was surprised to see through the window that the light inside was on! He got nervous immediately. Had they already got the information that he came back home? But on second thought, he felt that it wasn’t possible. He came back in a very secret way. He took a roundabout route and almost traveled half of the globe before he arrived home. Only God could be so well-informed as to know that he was coming home tonight and was waiting for him here in advance. Marlow suddenly turned as tense as a leopard which was going to launch its attack. He started to approach his home warily. When he arrived at the door of his home, he squinted at the lock. The door originally had an old-fashioned spring lock, but now it was replaced by an updated burglar-proof lock.  ‘Sh*t! Does one need to replace the lock in order to assassinate another person? What kind of trick is it?’ No lock could stop Marlow if he wanted to get into that house. He looked around and found a piece of metal wire in the dust bin nearby and then bent down to pick the lock. With some movement of his hand, the lock gave out a small noise and the door was opened. When the door was pushed open, the first thing he saw was the shoe rack beside the door. It was the shoe rack familiar to him, but there was a pair of delicate heels on it. This wasn’t the weirdest thing he found. The weirdest thing was that Marlow felt that he had seen that pair of shoes before, but he wasn’t sure where. In his mind, rare women in this circle wore heels as they were a hindrance to their action. So if she wore heels to perform such a task, she was either a newbie or a master-hand. At the thought of this, Marlow became fully alert. When the door was opened to the maximum, what came into his view surprised him again. On the old square table in the living room, there was a cell phone in a pink case. There were even some silly and adorable hello kitty patterns on it. Besides the cell phone was a Hermes purse of the limited edition. And then there was a box of Pizza-hut pizza and a box of milk. Was she his enemy or friend? Was this a very smart scheme? At this time, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Marlow could hear a woman singing softly. The voice sounded a little familiar too.  ‘Sh*t! Is she a thief? Are the thieves nowadays so bold and unruly that after they have done their work, they take a shower before leaving?’ As he was speculating, the door of the bathroom was suddenly slid open and a woman wore a big tower came out. Her slender and curvy figure under the towel gave rise to people’s pleasant imagination. Her exposed skin was as smooth and tender as milk. Her slim and straight legs, her pale little feet, round and firm buttocks and cleavage were all inviting men to commit a crime. She looked cheery and relaxed as she used a towel to wipe her wet hair that tumbled like a cascade down her head. She walked towards the square table and was humming a song at the same time. Marlow‘s jaw dropped at the scene. What surprised him wasn’t just that the woman was extremely beautiful, but that he knew this woman! Scarlett wasn’t as sharp as Marlow in reaction. She didn’t see Marlow until she sat down and picked up the box of milk from the table. “Ah!” She gave out a shriek and threw out the box of milk. Then she hugged her head and kicked her legs as she cried, “Help! You! Don’t come over! Help!” Marlow was speechless at the scene. He hurried to the window and closed it. Her voice volume would attract the neighbors and that wasn’t the situation he wished to be in. While he was closing the window, Scarlett resumed her senses and picked up her cell phone and started to dial quickly. But she just pressed two digits and her cell phone flew away from her palm. Before she could scream again, she saw Marlow caught the cell phone in the air with another hand.  “How did you get in? Don’t come over! I…I’m good at fighting!” Scarlett reached one of her hands to grab the towel that wrapped her body and pointed at Marlow with another hand as she said in a warning tone. Marlow put the cell phone on the end of the table that was close to him and then asked with puzzlement, “That’s my question for you. How did you get in here? Did you chase me to my home? To push me to marry you?” This insult turned Scarlett into a cat with her hackles rose. She stood up abruptly and said, “Bullsh*t! Who wants to marry you? Look at yourself in the mirror. The men who want to marry me can…” Marlow cut her off by pointing at her towel and saying gently, “It dropped.”  “Ah! Bastard! Don’t look!” Scarlett screamed again as she looked down. She was stood up too abruptly just now that she forgot the towel wrapped on her.
