Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 324 - I'm sorry, Joe…
...***...
"We've discovered Derek and the woman's whereabouts." Ron said.
Joe who passed by there, spontaneously stopped his footsteps in front of his master's room.
"Then, go and arrest them immediately. Make sure they don't escape overseas!"
"Okay, sir, as soon as we move." Ron bowed and then stepped out.
They found Derek's whereabouts? I have to go with him, Joe thought. His focus turned to Ron who had just come out.
Ron turned his head towards Joe who was standing in front of his master's room. "What are you doing here?" ask Ron.
"I heard you found out Derek's whereabouts. Let me come with you, I'll help you persuade him to come here" Joe said.
Ron had just opened his mouth about to say a word, but first the professor appeared and cut off his words.
"No! Focus on your work, Joe!"
Ron and Joe looked at each other. "Prof.." Ron bowed respectfully along with Joe.
"I want you to focus on your work. Get Elvina and William!" the professor is full of emphasis on each sentence.
"But, prof…"
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you! Leave everything about Derek to Ron!"
"All right. prof." Joe lowered his head with a gloomy face.
"Then excuse me, prof.." Ron bowed and turned to leave the professor.

Derek pulled Pricilla's hand to quickly get out of the place.
"We're leaving on the first flight" he said in a hurry. They immediately stopped his steps by the side of the road. Arriving there, they immediately looked for a passing taxi.
Before long, the two find an empty taxi. They immediately went in and sat in the back seat.
Along the way, not a single word was thrown from each other's lips. Pricilla is now silent in her daydream. Staring out the window of his car, Derek is now silent with the various plans that he has been compiling all night once he arrives in Oslo.
I'm going to go see her boyfriend soon, and then ask her to give me the address of Nils' cousin who lives in Finland. Only there could I and Pricilla be safe, at least there were not too many evolvers and guards inhabiting the region, Derek inner. He turned to look out the window.
Actually, it's hard enough for me that if I have to leave Indonesia, it means that I won't be able to see Joe again. I didn't even get to say goodbye to him. Derek stared at the nanar of every large skyscraper along the path he passed.
Derek turned his gaze, he looked down at his telecosys which were now in a state of inactivity. He accidentally deactivates the object so that Ron and the others cannot find its whereabouts and Pricilla.
"It's the only thing I have that can remind me of Joe. But I can't seem to take it with me because it's too risky" Derek murmured softly. His hand rubbed the surface of his telecosys with teary eyes, he had to give up the only thing Joe gave him to leave behind.
Derek opened his car window, he stared out the window to make sure there was a car passing near his taxi or not.
His hand slowly stretched out, he took out his telecosys then dropped them on the street. Simultaneously, a few moments later a large truck ran over his telecosys until it was destroyed.
I'm sorry, Joe. This is the only way.
