5: I'll follow her...

With both hands on her hips, Sunni panted softly recovering from the shock.

She exhaled looking up at the strange guy who still had his eyes on her. She stood straight looking up at him.

This condition made her wonder if she was just too short or was this guy tall!

"Hey, what were you thinking?" She asked but the guy said nothing. 

He and his gaze fixed on her as if he and finally seen the person he was in search of for years. It freaked her out.

"Why did you stand in the road? Do you want to die? How can a fine Young man like you die like that....it's just not proper" she said wiping out the imaginary sweat off her forehead.

He was still mute, eyes down on her as she paused, meeting his gaze.

Suddenly she looked around and up at him. "Eh...well I'd like to stay and have some chit chats but I'm seriously busy right now. Okey?

She slowly brought up her hands as she stood on her toes.

Her right hand met his hair with difficulty as she slowly patted it like a puppy and smiled.

"Be careful next time okay?" She finally stepped back as the bus arrived.

People began getting on it as she too got on it.

The young man watched them leave as he slowly brought his hand to feel his head.

This was the minute he decided to always follow her.

These short moments with her proved to him that she was the one that she had lost something to when he crash-landed on earth.

10 years ago.....

It was a terrible night for the rain had been heavy. And the thunderstorm was intense.

Few people were seen outside and these few people were already rushing home under their umbrellas and raincoats.

It was certainly odd for a comet to come on this night but it passed and tragedy had struck.

Scientists observing the comet couldn't tell exactly what had occurred on this night but suddenly the comet had disappeared after a sudden clash. But with what? They weren't still certain.

In reality, the crash had led a rather invisible spaceship to land on earth.

It had landed in the woods ....the deep bushes.

And surprisingly no disasters occurred. No blast or explosions. Only a large hole was created as the spaceship blinked for a while and faded.

A green egg was there on the floor, glowing dimly.

On another side was a little girl who had fallen into that hole. She lay helpless at a corner sobbing.

She was hurt.... hurt that she could be dead in the next minute or so.

But some green dust flew Slowly from the green egg and occupied the little girl.

The miracle that was still a mystery even to this young man who thought of it.

Dave Lin sat comfortably on his office seat.

He had both legs on the table. A paper on his hand and the other hand on his chin.

He carefully ran his eyes through the project paper before his hand as he observed it.

It was the case of the so-called 'Alien Invasion at nights of the comet' which was handed over to their agency for over a week now.

They had utterly no right or specific means of starting this case but he damn seriously wanted to begin this case.

The investigation was his life and he took every bit of his job seriously. He always had his job first before anything. Love? He had none, he believed they were distractions so obviously a handsome young man like him had no wife or even a girlfriend. And he didn't plan on having one.

The case troubled him a lot because he needed to start somewhere but this case was a bunch of scattered puzzle pieces. He didn't know where to begin!

As he pondered on possible beginnings, a knock came on his door.  He casually said "Come in" 

As the door flung open, a girl walked in.

She was in the agency's uniform. A blue top with their logos and a black jacket. other stuff was added based on their various preferences.

The beautiful young lady had long black curly hair. Her stature was rather average with a slender body.

On her face was a well-put-on makeup that made her dashing. A typical beauty that guys would take a second look at after passing. But not for Detective Lin.

"Uh...Lara...Why are you here?" He looked up at the young lady who had put up a firm, beautiful smile.

"Well, Mr. Lin...I brought a report from the fresh case that occurred last...night....it seems that Night comet visitor has struck again" She presented the file before his table.

"Really?" He curiously took the file bringing off his legs down from the table.

He flipped through the well-organized five paged work, letting his eyes professionally scan through it.

"I had heard this on the radio this morning before coming to work...I had thought it was another joke of the morning " He was plain even when he was trying to crack a joke.

"The case came this morning. A woman has been murdered last night before his son who is now traumatized.  The killing is once again as creepy as always....cold murder. Images are at the back" she watched Dave Lin turn to the last page where the pictures were. She continued. "His husband returned this morning and on hearing it collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital. I pity the poor boy" 

Dave sighed " Finally....a clue to start with. I guess we'll have to start by following up on this case. And yes... Did you get any report from that scientist who was studying the corpse of  that murdered man?"

"Oh....we still haven't gotten any report yet. But don't worry...I'll see to it" She assured with a smile.

The lady observed Dave go through the file from all angles.

From the way she looked at him, it was pretty obvious that this girl had a crush on him.

"Well.....Mr. Lin...I was wondering if you've had anything to eat since morning....you've been engrossed in work that I'm worried"

"Don't worry about me" He said. "I'll certainly grab something to eat later. But first... Inform the team that we'll be visiting this case...somehow"

"Yes"

Yang Sunni arrived at the Agency's company as she looked at it with a smile.

"I'm here... Cheer up Sunni. You'll try your best to convince that jerk face " she happily galloped her way into the company

The Alien was following her, watching her from afar. 

He observed her enter the company as he followed behind her, turning invisible.

She got into the company and approached the receptionist.

"Hello...well I'm here to meet with a detective for a serious case"

"Did you book an appointment? " The female receptionist in glasses inquired 

"Yeah....and with The inspector general...." 

The receptionist gave her a suspicious stare as she faked a sad frown " I... I need to cover the case of my brother....he's my only world and he's been lost for a week now ...." She faked a cry.

"Okey Dokey okay... I've fixed you in...go and wait for him in the lobby....I'll let him know you're waiting "

She smiled again "Thanks," she said happily galloping to the lobby room.

The Alien guy found himself smiling as he followed her to the lobby.

Dave Lin got out of his office as Lara walked up to him.

"Mr. Lin, I've arranged the team, and I've gotten the information that the man is awake in the hospital, so I think it's the perfect time to go meet him" 

"Great....let's get to the van "

As they walked,  a man approached them.

"Inspector general....someone wants to see you " He informed.

He paused "See me? Why?"

"Well, she said she has an appointment with you for a serious missing case" He informed.

"Uh...I can't recall such an appointment...But I'll see her " He said excusing himself and heading to the lobby.

He later arrived at the lobby as he looked around.

It was empty and only a girl comfortable sat on the waiting bench while playing a game on her phone.

He sighed approaching her.

"Miss how may I help you?" 

Sunni quickly looked up to meet her gaze. She smiled.

He stiffened " It's you?!"
