Tragedy 34 - Go

"Why does he think so?"
Rei flicked his shoulders. "Ah, stop. I don't want to think of an obnoxious person like him, better like him, now that I'm back at work. You better go home, too."
"alright. Then I'll see you at home."
"Yes. You know the way home, don't you?"
"Not to worry, I still remember."
"Good."
Elvina left Rei alone there.
After Elvina left, Rei just left to go home.

Derek looked at himself through the reflection of the mirror right in front of him. He looked very nice wearing a cream coat.
"May I come at the right time" he murmured softly with a sigh.
The sound of telecosys on the table near his bed made Derek's focus switch. He grabbed the round-shaped object which now lights up.
Derek immediately pressed the button once he realized who was calling him.
A holographic screen appeared before him, revealing a white European man who was now looking at him.
"Hi, Derek. Are you really going to come here?"
"Yes. Of course, like I talked about earlier that I'm going there. Are you busy?"
"Not really, I'm always at home. Lately, I've been working from home. By the way, when are you leaving?"
"I'm getting ready. I'll be leaving for the airport soon."
"Thank you for the loan. I really owe you when I got the money. I'll pay all my debts."
"Not to think about. Oh, are you going alone? What about Joe?"
"He won't come. Yeah, as you know, it's a lot of work. He's got to find them both."
"He hasn't caught them yet?"
"Yes, that's it. Never mind, I'll leave now. The flight's in a minute."
"All right, see you at the airport. I'll wait for you there."
"OK."
Crane pressed the button. The hologram screen before him instantly disappeared.
Derek was silent for a moment. Looking at the telecosys that were within his grasp. The telecosys were the ones Joe gave him when Derek came back for the first time. Joe gives his telecosys so they can communicate at all times. At that time, Joe served as a supervisor in the laboratory.
But all that, changed from the original plan when Joe, was moved to capture Elvina and William who escaped from the laboratory.
Derek pressed another button on his telecosys, making both the wings on the left and right sides appear. Crane attached the object to his left wrist, the two wings that had originally appeared, fused for a moment. Turn that thing into a clock.
The screen then turns on, with a hologram notification indicating that the object is in watch mode.
Before long, Derek's focus switches on a lighted screen with images of himself and Joe there. I don't know when the photo was taken with Joe, but certainly in the photo, they looked very happy.
"I just hope God makes him realize immediately that the path he took was the wrong one" Derek murmured.
His hand moved to wipe the screen which in an instant changed his wallpaper so that the moving galaxy image like a GIF.
"It's time to go" he said slowly.
Derek grabbed his bag on the table, neatly dressed. He left his safe house in the middle of the forest.
