The Mystery of Black Rabbit Lake
Chapter 22 - Go

Athena ran very fast, down a dark and long hallway, she looked back, saw a man in black still chasing her, the man looked very creepy and life threatening. His eyes implied hatred and anger, such as wanting to kill him if he was caught.

Athena's heart continued to pound, like wanting to get out of her body and go save herself. The cold sweat of his superstitions flowed profusely, soaking up the clothes he was wearing tonight, but he did not care and continued to run forward down the hallway, not knowing what was in front of him, without knowing what was in front of him, trying my hardest to escape the man's pursuit.

Light.... Where are you? Moon, star or lamp, why did you disappear after being swallowed by the earth?

Why would... Why is that guy after me and trying to kill me? What is my fault with him? inner Athena was confused.

Don't think much more...

Run, run and keep running, Athena...

Before the man gets close and catches you.

Suddenly there was a dim light in front of him and a while later he was at the end of the long dark passage, he saw a blue luxury car on a street illuminated by a dim light. Athena was trying to see if anyone was in the car? And he saw a man sitting behind the wheel.

Without a second thought, Athena's feet stepped closer to the car.

I have to ask the man in the car for help. Better get in the car, ask the man to immediately drive his car out onto the highway, look for a brighter place, drop me off at a minimarket that is open 24 hours, rather than having to keep running like this, inner Athena.

He had run far enough, his legs were tired, his breathing was wheezing, his heart was beating too fast, cold sweat was already pouring profusely, if I continued to force myself to keep running, he said, surely in a moment I will faint and the man chasing her can easily capture and kill her, the inner Athena diagnoses herself.

However... is the man a good person or maybe is a plot of criminals who pursue him? If he's a criminal too, end my history, inner Athena.

The risk of failing or successfully escaping from a man's pursuit is 50 and 50. So Athena ventured closer to the blue car, opened the car door, immediately entered and sat in the car that was not locked door. Athena immediately set her breath, in order to start talking.

"Master... Signore... Help me, take me to the minimarket which is open 24 hours on the highway. I was chased by a man. Please help me, Sir... I'm begging...Help me." said Athena, pleading with hope.

The man sitting next to her turned his head.

"Kyaaaa..," cried Athena very loudly.

The man next to him...

His face was very similar to the man chasing him, his eyes, his nose, his brown hair.

Everything is very similar.

It's just that the man's eyes are softer, warmer and more heart-soothing, the shape of his chin is also different, and the shape of his chin is different, there is a cleavage that makes his face so framed more charming and there is a small wound on the right eyebrow.

Even though the man looked good, but Athena did not want to take the risk, she immediately opened the car door, wanted to get out and get back to running, but the car door was locked and the man leaned towards Athena, slowly. The longer it gets closer. It made Athena more frightened and nervous.

"Who are you? Why is your face so similar to the man chasing me?" athena asked, raising her hand, ready to push the man if he got closer.

But the man did not answer his question, instead smiled warmly and said "I'll help you."

"It was a real shock" said Athena, trying to calm herself down. Taking a deep breath, exhaling it and removing the sweat that soaked his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Thank God, it was just a dream" Athena said softly.

Athena still often dreams of being chased to be killed by a ghost or a man, always and always haunting her since the bloody events occurred in her home. And did not gradually improve despite having consulted another psychiatrist, Doctor Monic, because Doctor Roy extended his vacation leave and still do not know when to return to Indonesia.

"Doctor Roy, come back quickly" Athena murmured softly, then opened her desk drawer and took the medicine her new psychiatrist prescribed. This medicine is a medicine that makes it calmer and can rest again. Some kind of high-dose sleeping drug, to be exact.

Ting... Ting... Ting

A message goes to his phone. Athena glanced at the phone on the nightstand, the screen flashed for a moment and then dimmed back.

"Already last night, how come there are calls and incoming messages? Maybe it was a phone and an important message" Athena muttered, reaching for her phone and checking who the person who had just called her was. It turned out to be an unknown foreign number. Then Athena checked the message that went into her phone.

"If you want to know who killed Zeus Anthony, come to Cempaka Street right now."

Athena gasped in surprise at the strange message. The message came from an unknown number who had just called him.

"Police alone have not managed to find the killer, how can anyone else know who is sister's killer, unless the sender of this message is the killer? Huh...why did I meet that person? I'm sorry, I'm not a stupid girl you can fool" Athena said.

Ting... Ting... Ting...

A message back in.

"Tomorrow, the police will arrest you because they think you're the killer. Your fingerprints are on the weapon used to kill the victim. Meet me now. I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP YOU"

"You must be lying again" said Athena, beginning to get a little scared and nervous. Athena recalled the incident that morning, she did not touch the gun at all after seeing it lying on her bed. So how could his fingerprints be on that gun?

Hm... But the killer could have put the gun in his hand, had my fingerprints on the gun and then the killer left. And if that's the case, it's definitely tomorrow, the police will arrest me.

Athena then replied to a message on her phone.

"What's the evidence?"

Athena then pressed the "Send" button and waited for a reply to the message.

Ting... The message goes back to the phone.

"Forensic evidence is in my hands. You can check it yourself if you don't believe."

"Sir Zeus, what should I do? Do I have to go see this man or do I not have to believe the words, do not pay attention to his warnings? If all this had not happened, I would have always lived happily with Brother, not in confusion and fear tomorrow would have been arrested by the police for the murder of my dearly beloved brother," athena asked sadly until her tears welled up.

The dream had already given a hint that there would be someone who would help him and after he woke up from his dream, there really was someone who wanted to help him. Why is he doubting now?

What exactly is he supposed to do now?

Yes, Athena must first know the truth about who killed Brother Zeus and test the truth of her dreams.

Athena then ventured out of her bed. Take a blazer outer coat (a kind of long jacket) of pastel color in his closet, get out of the room and go to Cempaka street to meet the person who will save him.
