Night - Mieke’s Apartment 7:13 PM

We arrive at the building. I get out of the car. I do to his side of the window and pointed.

“You stay...”, I say.

“Stay here, or you'll kill me, hit me, shoot me...?”

“It’s annoying.”

“Is more annoying hearing farther away.”

He put his finger in his right ear and shook it off in a quick motion. I pressed my lips hard and made an "I'll be fast" gesture. I didn't want to say anything more. But at the same time: he hears farther? I still felt bad from the previous conversation, and the drive here has been awkwardly a quiet one.

I get to the apartment an open it. I’m greeted a lo-fi playing loud. Diane must be feeling better. I take my jacket off and go to the refrigerator to get a quick snack. I throw my jacket on the peninsula. Cold pizza is what I crave. A few steps come my way. Diane is with her mouse pink pajamas and a grey lace tank top and a towel as she is drying her long dark brown hair.

“Hey, ya. How are you feeling?”, I ask.

“Good. Better. I'm feeling much better now that the effects of the painkillers wore off. Felt like a zombie. I hope I didn’t do anything embarrassing?”

I choke a bit. Wait I haven't asked Kokolite. Are there zombies? I hope he says no. I wipe my mouth off.

“You ate a sausage.”, I say.

“Shut up! I did not!”, she yells.

I stood silent. Diane stares for a while, and her eyes widened. I brake a smile as little butterflies fly through my stomach.

“No, no you didn’t…”, I laugh.

“Such a biotch! So what you've been up to?”

“Following leads in a case. You know the usual.”

As I’m finishing the sentence, Diane moves a little starring at a mirror on the hall close to the damaged Cuckoo clock. What’s behind her on the table makes a knot in my stomach and makes me hold my breath. My eyes widen, and I stare at it for what it seems like an hour. The mother fucking orb. I freeze up, and Diane catches me looking at the sphere.

“That’s the part of what I wanted to talk to you about at the hospital. The ninjas asked for an orb, and I found this, very close to the church before I got there. Oh yeah… on the alley where all the cats in town hangout. I never understood that about them.”

I lean to grab it, but a squeak came from my room that made me stop. What was that? I shush Diane and tells her to lower the music. I take out the gun. As I move, the music starts fading out. A breeze sound comes from my room.

“Mieke!”, Diane screams.

I extend my palm to Diane and move my index finger to my mouth. I point my gun in front and walk to the room. I push the door. A faded: "You know you are paranoid right?" Came from down the hall as I ignore it.
