Chapter 15 The Calm Before The Storm

“What are you doing?” Izen is confused to see them hugging each other. “I am the one who needs an affection here.”
“I’d be happy if you want to take them.” Kiau looks forced to be hugged by Rudal and Morris.
“You can join us, Izen.” Rudal asked.
Izen chuckled. “No, I am fine.” Izen’s chuckle made everyone feel at ease. Izen looked totally fine. “By the way, the police will start interrogating you about the incident. Because I have relation with the victim, so this case will handled by other team.”
Izen looked at his watch, “They will come this afternoon.”
“They won’t be punished right? Because it’s self defense.” Rudal looked at Izen.
“But if it was too much, they would be punished.” Izen said.
“I was very shocked when I got home, all of you are covered in blood on the floor.” Rudal looked terrified remembering that horrible scene. “I was so nervous and then immediately called Izen.” Rudal’s face innocently.
“Sorry?” Morris looked confused, “Why I feel sorry?”
Morris realized something that more important, “You should call an ambulance and police first, Rudal. Luckily we can still be saved.” he sighed.
“Izen is a police, isn’t he?” Rudal asked innocently. Morris dumbfounded.
“By the way, can I ask you something?” Izen said while looking at Kiau.
“What?” Kiau asked.
“Can are remember their face right? The persons that you see in Doctor Finne’s memories. Who was their name? Niem and Tieden.” Izen seems to remember their names.
“Yes, I remember it.” Kiau said.
“You can draw it right? It’s a pencil, an eraser and a sketchbook.” Izen suddenly handed over the drawing equipment. But not to Kiau, he approached Morris and gave it to him.
Morris looks puzzled, “Why did you give it to me?” but he still accepted it.
“What else? Draw it.” Izen walked back to his seat. “Don’t you see it? Kiau’s hand bandaged with crutches, how can he draw it himself.”
“Wait, you don’t even ask if I can do it.” said Morris protested.
“So, you can’t do that? Or you don’t want to do it?” Izen sat down on the chair.
“I don’t want it.” Morris answered.
“Aren’t you good at painting back than? And you left the task of drawing this facial sketch to Kiau whose hand hurts? He had to use his left hand.” Izen lift up Kiau’s left hand.
“You even lost to his left hand. You are not even in second best place.” Izen teased Morris.
“What?!” Morris feels annoyed. “Just use the service of drawing sketches of people’s face! Why should I do it?”
“This is just isolated small district. It is hard to find someone who can do it. There was never a case that required it before. And since it is not an official case yet, so I didn’t get the funding to investigate.” Izen tried to look pathetic.
“The main problem is the second reason, isn’t it?” Morris looked upset. “How stingy you are.”
Izen smiled awkwardly.
“If you really insist, it can’t be helped.” in the end Morris accepted it.
“You are so generous Morris.” Izen looked happy. “I take back my words saying you are not in the second best place. You are the only one in the second best place.” Izen still teased him.
“It doesn’t sound like a compliment.” Morris looked at Izen. He throws the pillow right at Izen’s head. Whenever the pillow attacks Izen, it always return to Morris’ hands.
Morris opened the sketchbook. And he started to draw the sketch what Kiau said.
“That’s really look alike.” Kiau looked at Morris draw.
Morris looked at him, “What is this?” his pupils widen, “Did you just admit me?” Morris looked happy. “Kiau admits me. Kiau acknowledges the result of my efforts.” Morris mumbled.
“He looks really happy,” Izen chuckled. “He doesn’t even hear me anymore.”
“Well, thanks for your hard work.” Izen took the sketch. “I want to find out more about them. I will go now.” Izen stood up and walked away.
“You are not coming, Rudal?” Izen stopped at the door, and turned his head back. He looked at Rudal who didn’t follow him.
“I’m coming.” Rudal ran towards izen. “Hope you get well soon.” Rudal was waving his hand to Kiau and Morris. He walked out the room with Izen. The door closed.
“Let’s have pineapple juice!” Izen tried to tease Rudal, but the opposite happens.
“Call!” Rudal answered made Izen startled.
“You are not going to throw up again are you?” Izen worried.
“I don’t know. My stomach at that time couldn’t take it anymore and tired ato pineapple juice.” Rudal looked sad, “But don’t worry, my mouth still really love it.” Rudal smiled brightly.
“That’s make me more worried. I should never ask about that drink anymore.” Izen regrets his words. “Can we find another one?”
“Why~” Rudal sulked.
“We can still hear their voice even when they are outside.” Morris said. Kiau looked at Morris.
Morris looks like he wants to tell something, “Kiau...” finally he called.
Kiau looked at him.
“Um... nothing.” suddenly he didn’t want to say it. “Just rest now.” Morris laying on the bed with his back to Kiau.
Kiau didn’t think about that much. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
