Quianna’s POV
Upon seeing those police people running inside the building where Austin’s apartment is located, we quickly run towards the backdoor of the place. I know that even we go here, there might be police members waiting for us to exit from this door. But we have no other choice, this is the only place we could go and just for us to test our luck. I looked on Aina is she is running the same pace as mine, Austin is running ahead and we arrived in front of the backdoor. Austin looked back on us and I glanced on Aina go them a determined nod.
Austin opened the door and peeked before we finally went out, his hand signaled us in rush and we quickly went out. I looked around and surprisingly enough, no one is here, instead one car is waiting for us outside and when I looked on the driver’s seat, I am seeing a familiar person sitting in there- it was Aaron.
“Shit.” I heard Austin mumbled and I just looked on him, not asking the reas
Quinna’s POVWe arrived at my house, after minutes of driving from Austin’s apartment. There are some police officers who were guarding the entrance of the house so Aaron and Jason firstly get off from the car and approached the two police officers. I saw those officers gave them a salute and nodded as they left after some conversations happened. I also noticed that they started to check for others who might be guarding some parts of the house, after all, they must not know that Austin is with us. But what about the street’s CCTV cameras? Would they also delete those footages? I mean the chief could ask for it and we could become Austin’s accomplices if we did not prove his innocence any sooner.Aaron went back to the car and I quickly pulled down the window to hear what is he going to say to us.“Everything is clear, you can get off now.” He said and we all nodded. I opened the door as I am the one sitting near it, Aina next
Quianna’s POVWe spent all night trying to look for additional information about the Seiken Organization. Aaron and Jason went back to the police station to avoid any suspicion, the whole station even the chief knew that the two of them were close with Austin and if there could be someone to point out as an accomplice, their badges are in danger and stake.I stood up and make myself a cup of coffee, we initially decided to infiltrate the Seiken Organization but knowing that Aina and I were known by the leader, which is Mr. Lee, I don’t think we are the best people for it. And that is the reason why we stayed up all night, we kept pushing and arguing if the best choice for this investigation is to go into an undercover.I am stirring the coffee when I felt that my phone in my pocket suddenly vibrates. Since that day that Aina talked to the other Yana and she do not want to help us directly on investigating, our hope for her to help us suddenly decreas
Quianna’s POVI am still here in the meeting room together with the shareholder and currently talking to them about the new recruitment for the hospital. My only objective here is to add Aina to the lists of the candidates. They wanted to have a close recruitment, it still sounds funny to me on how I think that dad would always do fair and square when his subordinates would wanted something like this.“Add Aina Lee, she would be a great candidate for forensics.” I sternly announced and looked on Mr. Lee. I am not sure but I think I saw him scoffed.“Aina Lee?” I heard a woman asked and I smiled towards her.“She is my best friend, daughter of Mr. Lee. Why did he not recommend his own daughter?” I exclaimed and chuckles.“Mr. Lee’s daughter? I did not know that you have such brilliant daughter.” A woman said to Mr. Lee.“She is not that brilliant, she is just crazy.” Mr.
Quianna’s POVI am still here at the place where that man told me to sit and stay, I saw his back as he started to walk away and I just looked around from here, I also looked on my feet and I could now see the part of the swelling up. I looked on the screen of my phone and five minutes is not yet done, someone could still offer me some drink but I am not sure what would happen, if I would be poisoned dead or I would be in a deep sleep for my whole life. I saw the man who helped me earlier is walking towards me with a can of drink on his hand, will he give that to me?He arrived in front of me and suddenly kneeled, I was surprised but I just felt a cold temperature touched my skin, he put that cold can on the part of my foot that was still swelling up because of the unexpected twist I had. He removed the heels I am wearing, and he put my feet on his lap, it is somewhat looked awkward and unbelievably happening in real life, but he just kept on massagin
Quianna’s POV“Then, do you know the parallel world?” I asked to her quickly and a feint smile showed up on her face.I kept on looking on her, how she looks back on me, how she acts in front of me and even how she reacted. All those movements direct to a fact that she knows anything. She suddenly put down her legs from being crossed and stood up. I only followed her movements and steps as she walked towards the bookshelf behind her desk. She pulled out an envelope in between of those huge books and walk towards me while holding that.She arrived in front of me, sat on the couch and put down the envelope. She glanced on it and I automatically grabbed and opened it. I saw documents, papers that it even has pictures of my father together with a huge number of people. I guess this is the Sekai organization when it was only starting from being a small company.“I was one of those people wearing white gowns.” She claim
Quianna’s POVThe next day came and I did not notice that I spent the whole night in the office. I already forgot what I did last night but I only know that I called Mr. Lee and I have appointed a meeting with him later. As I get up in my seat, I started doing some stretching, the sun was already up and it was already seven in the morning. Usually, employees were entering the building and going to their individual spaces, but I do not know if it was just me or Annie was still not here, compared to the time she went to the house and picked me up.I decided to leave the office now and go home. I need to freshen up a bit and I will go to the Sekai Organization, at the hospital and I know that I also need to meet other people not just in the company, but also the higher ups at the hospital. I grabbed my bag and went out from the office, as I already know the ways and the directions in this floor, I can now quickly find the way out and exited the place. I
Quianna’s POVAfter that little rest I did, I just lied down and waited some hours to passed by. I expect that the living room would now look like a place for a living human and not for a living animal. I slowly walked downstairs and somewhat peeking on whether they already cleaned their mess up or still not doing anything. But, I smiled as soon as I arrived, the whole house looks clean and they are gathered at the dining hall, preparing the lunch for today. I believe we are having our late lunch and I quickly sat beside Austin, he smiled on me and I also noticed Aina having a great time. This is my first time having a big circle of friends, people might say that five friends are not that a big one, but for me it is the biggest of all. I only have Aina and Dylan at the beginning and now, I got three more- I can feel like I could trust them with everything.“Are you going somewhere?” Austin asked to me and I noticed their attention towards
Aaron’s POVI looked on how Yana went out from the dining hall and I glance over Jason and Aina who are now flirting to each other. Austin just followed Yana with his gazes and I shook my head in realization, I know that the two of them confessed their feelings to each and probably dating as of now. I was actually joking when I said that and I did not expect that Yana would actually feel embarrassed and walked out from her own house.I feel a cold stare that got me chills down to my spine, I looked beside me I saw Austin glaring on me, a deadly one. My right eyebrow raised as I had a silent competition with him in starting game, he do not want to put down his gazes and so I did the same. I suddenly got the competitive in me and I do not want him to win this game like how he won Yana’s heart.But I did not make it, I could feel my phone was vibrating inside my pocket and I have to answer it. I blinked my eyes and looked away, I could hear Austin
Quianna’s POVI started driving quick beyond the maximum when Austin texted me the location of the accident. I was nervous, scared and even unstable at the same time, but I do not have the time to be weak. I thought I already overcame those struggles, Aina lived after that day, Austin also lived even though I am not still sure if he died in the other world. But Dylan, he do not have the right to feel comfortable or even relaxed knowing that there is no direct evidence, in the beginning. But now, Aina got another one, but her life became in danger, I do not deserve to be called as her best friend or even the one to receive those messages.I arrived at the location of the accident, and I saw a car parked in the middle of the road and somewhat little smoke was coming out from the front of that car. I quickly get off and run towards the driver’s seat to check if Aina was still there, but she was not. I was in mental breakdown, do not know what to think, my mind
Quianna’s POVI stayed on the ground as long as I wanted, my tears were already dried because of the cold gusting wind of the night but I am still here on my knees. I looked up in the sky and it was dark grey in color, despite of the night being calm, I could still sense its gloominess. I slowly stood up as I decided to go back to the ward, I should be doing another plan of catching Dylan’s tail instead of sitting in this place alone and crying. I do not have the time to feel the pain, to feel the sadness, to feel the pain that both of us were having.It was all pointless.I walked towards the door and turned the doorknob slowly, when someone at the other side pulled the door and I forcedly let the door opened without me exerting any kind of effort. I stood firm as I looked of who could that person be. I smiled weakly when I recognized his cold face staring back at me. He slowly walked towards me and I was just waiting for him to arrive in front of m
Quianna’s POVI sat on the couch here in the VIP ward where Austin was resting, I personally asked for this room as a private place for the four of us to talk about the plans. In this separated room from the others, as well as from the other wards, no one could ever notice the people who would go in and out from this place of the hospital. This is exclusively made for the family, a ward that all of the relatives could go whenever something happened- and now that I do not have any family now, I could use this to whoever I wanted.I looked on Austin and he was comfortably lying on the bed while sleeping. It is already past midnight but I cannot sleep. I have to think straight and plan my next move, the enemies would not stay still knowing that their mission of killing Austin, the thing that they expected will happen did not take place in this version of the parallel world.I heard pairs of footsteps from the outside and walking towards this direction. I quic
Quianna’s POVThe clock struck on midnight and I am the only one staying in the house. Because of the conflict that our group made, every one of them has their own thing to be done, or to do just to save me in this hell. I was sitting on the cold tiled floor at the living room and leaning my back against the couch I am trying to fit myself in between the glass centerpiece and the long couch in this part of the house. In front of me was a huge transparent fiber glass window, but it was open halfway leading the cold evening breeze coming in as the white plain curtains were moving in the shadow. It was pitch black inside the house, I have been here since Aina left hours after Aaron and Jason did, she said that she has something to do for the case that he now has to leave.Not saying anything to me or even a hint, she left without turning back. I only kept on staring blankly, letting out deep sigh of worries and frustrations not only for the situation we are in but m
Austin’s POVI looked around the crime scene, just judging by the look of the room, I guess there had been a fight that leads for his demise. Aaron keeps walking around even if the only thing that he should be checking is the drawers of this table, I searched all of it, even the insides and under of the furniture, to check if there could be any secret compartment- but there is none. The forensics might also get the results from the prints they got in this room, Aaron is glancing over me and I realized that we got the conversation we are needing right now. I nodded at him and both of us went out from the room, stood by the end of the hallway and even look around checking for people who might eavesdrop from our conversation.“What happened?” I asked to him and leaned on the wall.“When Jason and I got in the room, he is already dead.” He answered to me.“Not that one.” I said and he looked at me.“What
Austin’s POVIt was a brief confusing moment for me, why the regional office would open that case again, and on top of that, it looks like a confidential and close investigation to me. She stares at me as I looked at her in my puzzled look, I do not want to any anything, as I might say something that I was keeping to myself- Yana’s case is not known to anyone, especially to the police force. As what Yana said to all of us, this case is extra special, not only that it does not have a direct suspect, but at the same time evidence are difficult to find.Child murderer, that is the name of the case in which Dylan was connected to. Based on the database, he is the victim of that crime but the name was telling something otherwise. His mother committed suicide but the only one who witnessed that crime was himself, Dylan- in which should be the witness not labeled as the murderer.“Why would that case resurface again?” I asked to her and she plai
Austin’s POVI am frustrated, that is for sure. I am mad to myself that I cannot accept the fact that Yana is saying the truth and probably the most plausible thing to do in this case. I left the house and decided to have my adventure on my own, just only this time. I need time to be alone and think of the possible ways to solve everything. I know parallel world is something that was not yet taken seriously and is still not normal in law and even in the society. I went back to the police station and they were looking at me, I am still not yet back in the force but I do not care on any of that. I will still go back in here, investigate like my badge was still active and order these juniors who has been slacking since Aaron got another case- and that was Yana’s.As soon as they saw me, they quickly moves and started to act like they were busy looking on those documents who were just nothing but empty papers piled. I walked towards them and stood firm as I ser
Quianna’s POVAina and I were only looking at him, he is totally out of his mind and he wanted to sacrifice the life of his daughter when he said that it is the sole reason why he is doing this study. I just cannot understand how his mind works, he initially wanted to save his only daughter and now, he is willing to give her up just to prove his theories. I looked on Aina and she was silently watching his own father being mindlessly rummaging through the files and looking like some crazy scientific man who gave everything up for his own discovery.But I wanted to correct my word for that, this is not his own discovery- he just stole it from my dad.I stood up and started walking towards the door, I cannot waste my time here watching and even babysitting some insane person, I need to know more or even everything about this place. I successfully went out but I felt that someone got the door behind me, I looked back and it was Aina. She smiled at me and nodde
Quianna’s POV\I looked again on the message and glance over to Aina sitting on the couch, how could I protect her when I just asked her to observe those people? I just let out a deep sigh and trying to rack my brains out to think the possible solution for it. I still believe these messages; I still want to believe in these things. I stood up and decided to go to the Sekai Organization, I noticed that she also stood up and followed me, I abruptly stopped and looked back to her.“You have to call Jason.” I said to her and she looked shocked.“Hey! I told you, I do not have anything to say—” I did not let her finish her sentence and showed her my phone.“You are dying.” I said to her and she went silent.“What do you want me to do?” she seriously said and put down my phone.“Do you want to go with me?” I asked and she smirked.“Of course.” She said and I
