Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 30 - Anxious

Leon glanced at the clock on his left wrist. For hours, he asked Elvina to buy him coffee and snacks. But the woman did not return. Leon was already starting to get upset waiting.
"Where is he? Lest he run away from his responsibilities," muttered Leon with a wry look. He got up from his great chair, grabbed his coat hanging on the chair and stepped out.
Leon closed the door of his room slightly rudely until it made his secretary flinch in shock.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"I have business for a while, I'll be back" he said without looking.
Leon continued walking down the corridor until he arrived at the elevator. After waiting for a while, he immediately entered and pressed the button that would directly deliver him to Elvina's room to check his whereabouts.
Arriving at the floor he was on, he immediately stepped into Elvina's room. Leon had crossed paths with several employees there, and he asked about Elvina.
"We didn't see him back after he left to send the files he was carrying" the official said.
"So, he hasn't come back since?"
"Not yet." The woman nodded slowly.
Leon grunting. He immediately walked out of the office.

Elvina was silent on her office park bench. The park is next to his office building. He sat under a shady tree that protected his body from the scorching sun.
"Gosh, Rei. Why so long?" Elvina glanced at the clock that was coiled around her wrist. It had been almost twenty minutes, but Rei did not return. "Ah... finish my history."
On the other hand, Leon stepped out from inside the office. He was about to approach his car parked in a parking lot adjacent to the park.
His attenuation first turned to the wavy long-haired woman sitting on the existing bench.
Leon narrowed his eyes, trying to clarify his vision.
"Elvina?" mumbling slowly. "I told him to buy coffee, he was cool in relaxing there, instead" his grunts annoyedly approached the woman sitting there.
"I told you to buy coffee instead of relaxing here" he said.
Elvina stunned. He turned spontaneously towards the arrival of the voice and found the figure of Leon who was standing not far from his position.
"P.. mr. deputy director.." Elvina reflexively got up from her seat.
"What are you doing here, and where's the coffee I'm asking for?"
"Ng. anu.. that was, that was.." Elvina stammered. He scratched his nape which was not itchy at all. Elvina was confused as to how to explain it.
Leon looked at Elvina from top to bottom. He rounded his eyes, when he realized the appearance of the woman was so chaotic. His face turned anxious to see how he was.
Leon approached Elvina. "A... What happened to you? Why do you look so fucked up? Were you in an accident?" Leon held onto both of Elvina's shoulders, looking at her so frantically. He flipped through Elvina's body to ascertain how many wounds on her body.
Elvina surprised. His body petrified to see the figure of Leon who was so panicked to see his condition.
"What happened to you until you were like this?" Leon looks at Elvina.
Elvina. He could see the look in Leon's eyes that had somehow changed when he saw the situation like this. The look in his eyes was different from usual when Leon was being annoying.
