Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The fix 44
***
"Finally you want to give me a chance to talk, after what I've experienced and the end of it I can meet you in person," Trish glad not to be upset.
"What's up? Why are you looking for me?" Tessa asked who was trying to be calm. Now he finds out that Trish was unaware that they had met before him. "Are you the one on duty to take me to the government?" Ask Tessa again, who is now fixing her position. He looked at Trish sharply.
"Government? A-ah, no. I'm not a government man. I'm just an ordinary gym teacher who is now a substitute teacher at Eternal High School" explains Trish.
"You're an ordinary teacher?" Tessa raises next to her brow confused.
"Yes. Why do you think I'm a government man?" Tsih doesn't understand.
"B-nothing," Tessa said. "If he's not a government man, then why did he come here? What does he want to do?" Tessa.
"Then, if you're not one of the government's agents, then why did you come here?" Ask Tessa.
"Ah, it's because I want to ask you something."
"What's that?"
"It's about what happened a few dozen years ago. Regarding an article circulating on the internet that explains similar events that are happening as they are today. Do you know?"
"But why did you find out about this?" Tessa still can't vanish her suspicions on Trish.
"I just want to know the truth, so I can prevent this from happening again. I don't want anyone else to disappear, and again I want to know who the real figure behind all this is. The brains of the culprits are all this, because I can't possibly just stay still. Moreover, most of the missing are young evolvers, who are on average high school students," explained Trish. That made Tessa instantly change her face, she was surprised when Trish said those words.
"Wait, are you a pure human being?" Ask her.
"Yes. I'm a pure human being, I'm not an evolver like most people," he admitted, spontaneously making Tessa smile happily. For the first time, Tessa met someone similar to her. An ordinary man who has no power.
"Why are you asking?" Trish asked who looked confused.
"It's okay, I'm just asking. Oh, so you came to ask me all this?"
"Yes. Do you know anything about the article that your late mother wrote a few dozen years ago?"
"Yes. I know," said Tessa. Realizing that, Trish who heard him immediately smiled happily. "But I'm still trying to find out the truth and uncover who the real brains of these criminals are."
"You're investigating her?" Trish looked surprised.
"Yes." Yeah."
"But why?"
"Because there's one goal I have to finish."
"Well, what is that?"
"W-what? I really don't understand what you mean."
"Here you go, now you can go. Even if I knew, I wouldn't be that easy to believe and tell a stranger like you!" Get rid of her while getting out of her seat preparing to leave.
"Wait on! Please tell me, I need to know about all this," Trish held her wrists against leaving. Tessa stopped, turning to Trish who now seemed to be begging.
"I don't want to tell him! Now go," Tessa insisted. He then threw Trish's hand to release his hand.
"Come on, I'm really begging you. This is in the interest of many people. Don't you know that there's a lot of sad people out there when they find that person they know is missing?" Trish tries to provoke his empathy.
"They won't be sad, because they're all the same! They've all experienced it before!" Tessa asserts right, making Trish who heard her spontaneously startled mixed confused with the intent of Tessa.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't want to explain it. Now go!" Tessa switched topics. Trish was silent for a moment, the more complicated his brain was filled with questions that continued to convoluted in his mind. He was really curious about the meaning of Tessa's words just now. Why does the woman speak like that, and why does she behave as if nothing can be trusted in this world, except herself.
"I'm not leaving until you explain everything to me" Trish said. Tessa looked in her direction.
"You're not going?" Ask her.
"Yes. And you won't be able to drive me out of here!"
"Well, if you're not going, then let me go" Tessa grabbed her big backpack, then stepped away to the exit. Hearing that, Trish was surprised.
"Wait around! Why are you the one who left?" Trish followed him from behind.
"I was going to leave from the beginning" said Tessa, who continued to step outside with Trish beside her. Tessa started to get busy right by locking the door of her house meeting, she had to leave tonight too.
"Where are you going?"
"It's none of your business!" Finished locking her house, Tessa then went to the dark alley there. Not too many street lights, although there are in some parts but the light is dim. Tessa walks with a large backpack bag on her back. Meanwhile, Trish who did not want to give up just followed herself behind with her bag that was originally carried.
"Where are you really going?" Ask Trish who still hasn't given up.
"I said it's none of your business! Better now that you're home, I gotta go. There's important business!"
"I'm not leaving until you answer all the questions I've asked!"
"I told you to go!"
"I don't want to! I'll go wherever you go, and I won't stop until you answer my questions. But if you look, it looks like you'll go far."
