Redon

Chapter 13

Sayra

An awkward silence enveloped the room. Redon is just quiet on his chair while I'm sitting in front of him. The others have gone out already but this guy is still lazing around here.

" What are you doing here? Aren't you going to the raid?" I asked him starting a conversation. I kept my voice calm as talking loud gives pain on my wounded chest.

The wound in my chest is not that deep and it's healing pretty quickly because of how long I've been unconscious on the hospital but it's still new and hurts from time to time especially on cold days. I need to get daily check ups from the doctor. Why does it need to happen to me, I asked myself. So unlucky.

Redon looked at me with his tired eyes and then shook his head quietly. What happened to this guy? I asked myself as I look at him from head to toe. Two days had past but he changed drastically, not gonna lie this is very unusual for me.

The night we met and that morning, he's always been a cheerful and playful guy. I shook my head and erase my thoughts, why do I care? I'm just talking to him because of the investigation but after this I won't see anyone from the team.

" Have you found new clues about Kyla's whereabouts?" I asked him and he just looked at me blankly.

" Nah, not yet but they're working on it " He answered and then kept quiet again.

I raised my eyebrow at him and then crossed my arm above my chest. Well I don't care about what he's going through, I'm going to go back to my room.

I stood up and walked towards the stairs when I felt him walking behind me too. I looked back at him and tilted my head in confusion.

" Why are you following me?" I asked him while looking directly at his eyes. His green eyes dilated as the sight of me but there's something more that his eyes are telling me.

" I'm gonna go up to my room " he answered faintly making me pursed my lips . I thought he's following me.

Okay, go on. I said to myself and make way for him. I looked at the maid that's fixing the flower vases from the corner. I walked towards her and then stared at her face. This girl is pretty, I thought while she's looking at me.

" Yes Miss ? Do you have anything for me to do?" She asked politely and I shook my head while smiling at her.

She smiled back at me making my heart pound a little. She's just like Kyla when we're at her age.

" How old are you?" I asked her .

" 19 Miss Miguel " she answered making me nod my head. I still don't understand why are there so many maids here , this is a place for witness protection but I think they're spending too much to hire maids.

This whole investigation is so mysterious but as long as I'm benefiting from it then I'll keep quiet. There's no harm in accepting every blessing that comes to me.

" Mirabella get me some tea " his voice echoed throughout the corners of the place. I looked up and saw Redon on the stairs looking down at us. The maid nodded her head making me realize that her name is Mirabella.

" Yes Señ- Sir " she answered and then bid her goodbye to me before going to the kitchen. My eyebrows furrowed once again, this is one of the things that seems mysterious for me too. I can remember that the lady and the maids called Redon and Bonito "señorito" at the first day I arrived here.

I inhaled deeply and erased it my from my thoughts. I can't be bothered by things that doesn't have anything to do with me. I walked towards the stairs. I can feel his stares from above but I don't care. I took slow steps only to be stop by him that's now standing in front of me just one step above me.

" Use the elevator, your wounds will hurt because of your movements" he said with concern evident in his voice. I looked up at him and found him looking at me worriedly.

I smiled bitterly and almost rolled my eyes. Why is he putting an act again? No one is here.

" Don't worry about me, I know my body and it'll only get worse if I don't move and walk around" I answered and walk passed him. To be honest, I just want to look strong in front of him. My wounds aches but it's bearable and I get dizzy if I use the elevator. I don't want to be dizzy and hurt at the same time.

I already took a few steps above when I heard him sigh. I didn't look back and just continued walking . Why does he have to stay here today? I'll appreciate it more if they left Lucas instead of him.

But who am I to complain? Tch, good for them I'm trying to be kinder because of the situation I'm in.

" Sayra " he suddenly called me by my name making me stop from my track. I quickly took another step when I realized that I stopped because of how he called me.

" I'm- " I quickly looked back making him stop from talking. He gulped hardly while I look at him blankly. What is he trying to say? Is he going to say sorry?

" What?" I asked him when he didn't speak. He looked down while his adam's apple are moving. He cleared his throat and then stared at me again with a tired smile plastered on his face.

" I'm in charge to look after you today " he said making me chuckle bitterly. I looked down at him and then forced a smile on my face. I just need to be good for a while and I won't have to see his face anymore. Patience ..

" Thank you Officer " I said and then harshly turned my back on him . I quickened my pace making me hiss in pain when the sudden movements affected my wounds.

I heard him clicked his tongue behind me but I kept my composure and continued walking but this time slowly .

" A doctor will check your stitches later " he shouted before I close the door. I sighed frustratedly and then rolled my eyes . I hate him so much, I said to myself and looked at my shoulder that's now aching because of my sudden movements.

" This is his fault " I murmured as I check it carefully. I touched my chest when I felt my wound there hurting so much. s**t what happened?

I groaned as it keeps on throbbing. It's so painful that I can feel my body losing it's strength. I touched my chest and my eyes widened in shock when it felt wet. I quickly looked at my hand and gulped when I saw blood. f*****g s**t.

I pressed it heavily thinking that putting pressure might help. I gasped loudly because of the writhing pain that rushed through me.

" A- Ah f**k , this is your fault b-b***h " I whispered to myself as I try to open the door knob.

I cursed loudly when my wounded arm ached because of pressing heavily on my chest. My body fell on the ground as my eyes starts to get blurry . I'm dizzy, so dizzy, I thought while I'm panicking.

" Help!" I shouted with all my might hoping that someone will hear me. This is my fault for f**k's sake. I shouldn't have forced myself to move for the past few days.

The door flew open revealing Redon's worried face. I looked at him and reached out my unwounded hand as he hurriedly ran towards me.

" F-f**k dude what the f**k did you do?" He said cursing loudly while holding me . He's panicking and he doesn't know where he should touch me.

" M-My wounds , d-dumbass " I answered while pointing out on my chest. I'm stuttering because it keeps on aching.

" Doctor! The doctor, " he said as soon as he realized and then looked back towards the door.

" Celia! Call the doctor now!- " he stopped from shouting when I pulled his hand towards my chest . He looked at me confusedly . His emerald eyes are full of questions . I almost rolled my eyes when I realized what he's thinking.

Did he really thought I'm making him touch me?

" P-pressure " I whispered weakly making him look at me surprised.

He looked like a child right now and I know it's not the right time but I want to do something. I raised my hand and slapped him on the cheek with all of my strength but it seemed like a slight tap for him. He looked down at me confusedly.

" Don't panic , calm down it's not that bad, call the doctor cause I'm getting dizzy" I whispered and comforted him instead of him doing that for me.
