NOT JUST FRIENDS
06

It was dark and Alexia had just finished her dinner and was applying ointment to her burn, it was not so severe but it was quite painful especially when exposed to soap.

Geck...

Geck...

Geck...

The sound of knocking on the door stopped Alexia's movement, which was pouring ointment on her arm. Alexia stood up from her seat and opened the door.

And outside Felix had a thick coat wrapped around his body, Alexia could see there was a snow trail in the man's clothes which meant that he had just broken through the snow outside.

"Quick in. " invite Alexia who feels sorry to see the tip of Felix's nose is flushed due to cold temperatures.

"How do you do, do you feel comfortable there? " Felix took off his thick coat and sat down on the sofa crossing his legs.

"Yes, I'm happy to work there. Whatisit? " Alexia saw a small box that Felix took out of her pocket.

"I should have given this earlier. It's a gift from me as congratulations because you got a job for the first time. " Felix smiled warmly as he watched the small box.

Alexia saw Felix open the small box which turned out to contain a black ring with a purple jewel.

"I know you don't like dark colors like this, but for my sake do you want to wear them? " pinta Felix with doubt.

"Given you are my best friend then I will wear it. "Alexia replied as she received the box from Felix's hand.

Felix smiled at Alexia who was pinning the ring on her sweet finger, but it seemed that the size of the ring was too big so Alexia moved it to the middle.

"It's so pretty" Felix said unconsciously as he looked at Alexia's smile.

"Yes, this ring is so pretty. Where did you buy it? " said Alexia who does not know that she is actually what Felix calls beautiful.

"Your hand why? " ask Felix who just noticed Alexia's burn.

"Just got a hot soup spill while I was eating lunch canntor." replied Alexia lightly.

"You're so careless, you've treated. "

Felix held down Alexia's hand that looked flushed, it must have been sore. Felix felt angry at the thought of Alexia having to feel the pain.

"Now it's okay, I've smeared the ointment earlier. Then what about your wounds, have they dried up? "

Felix nodded then looked back at Alexia. "Other times be careful." he said attentively.

They talked for a long time, until Felix realized that the wall clock had shown at eleven o'clock at night. The man decides to say goodbye to Alexia.

"I'll come back to visit you next time. And in a few weeks I won't be here because I have to go back to Canada" Felix said, hugging Alexia warmly.

"Why, you're gonna leave me alone again. I really hate goodbye. "

"I won't be there long. I'm sorry Alexia, I promise I'll come back here when I have time to spare. "

Alexia returned Felix's embrace. Then take the man to the parking lot of his apartment, although it was rejected by Felix but not Alexia's name if not stubborn.

"Here you go, now you go back inside. The temperature here is very cold. "the order Felix did not immediately move by Alexia.

"Squeaky... Though you brought a car, but why when you came there was a lot of snow on your clothes. At first I thought you were taking public transport and walking here. "

Alexia's words successfully make Felix confused looking for the right reason. Of course he was trying to make up a story because it was impossible to tell Alexia the truth.

"Ooo so apparently. Yasudah hurry home, fearing that there will be a storm and you're stuck outside. " Alexia just trusts the answer Felix made.

"You come in first, I won't be able to leave if you're still outside. It's already midnight. "

Alexia was forced to obey Felix's orders this time. He immediately walked into his apartment building, but not yet completely entered into suddenly Alexia heard the loud sound of police and Ambulance sirens coming in.

Because Alexia basically has a high curiosity attitude, the woman decided to go back out and find out what was going on.

Looking from afar Alexia saw several police cars and ambulances parked near the playground next to her apartment building. There is also Mr. Henry and his wife Larisa are both Alexia's neighbors.

"We both just got home from work because I was waiting for my husband to overtime, as we passed through this street by accident we saw a pool of blood that froze beside the trash. Out of curiosity my husband decided to check it out. Then shortly after that he screamed and fell, even barely fainting. I checked what he saw, and I regret it. " Larisa took a breath for a moment, then resumed her explanation. "How terrible was the appearance of a headless human body that I saw lying in the trash. "

Alexia heard clearly the information Larisa revealed to one of the police members there.

Alexia brushed the feathers at once imagining the condition of the body that had just been seen by her neighbor.

Feeling her body start shivering cold Alexia decided to return to her apartment.

Obviously it was a murder case, but in this environment there is rarely a crime because the security costs are quite high.

From now on Alexia should be more careful because it is not clear what the motive of the killer is, and it could be that he is still wandering around here.

Uuu's... Just imagine it managed to make Alexia's knees tremble, hopefully the culprit was quickly arrested.

...****************...

A man was running in a narrow alley carrying a black plastic bag in his hand, he kept running until he found a black car parked at the end of the alley.

The man tapped on the windshield, and an old woman in the car unlocked the car and let the man in.

"I failed to carry him" said the man while adjusting his hunting breath, it was only natural that he had been running since.

"Then you finish him off? " ask the woman while lighting a cigarette in her mouth.

The man then opened the contents of the plastic bag he was carrying, the old woman only snorted at the piece of the head inside.

"Your cut is so untidy "his comment was without fear.

"That's not what's important. Now that I've completed my task, you can hand over the chief defector to Mr. X and stop bothering my family. "

The old woman gave a short nod and then threw the pouch containing the head into the back seat.

"I don't promise, but I'll tell Boss later. Now you just have to obey and never think about betraying us, unless you want to be as passive as your victims tonight. "

"You guys are real demons, not that I always obey orders from Boss. But why are you still harassing my family! " the man exclaimed in anger at the woman's response, which did not match his wishes.

"You should be aware of the young Fox, when you decide to enter this circle then your whole life will be completely governed by our Boss. There are no exceptions! "

"Then I do this dirty work in vain. My original intention to join you was to make my little family happy, because the salary you offered was quite large. "

"If you want to make your family happy, it's not this job you take. Because you should have known and understood the consequences. "

The woman started her car engine and drove quietly under the sudden snowfall.

"Let me give you a suggestion. If you want your family to be safe then be an obedient Fox and you will feel sorry for yourself. "
