WIPING OUT WOUNDS
5.

...—"My mouth is locked, my lips are mute... But my eyes remain on you. My chest is pounding for the same thump. All of them refer to one word, love.."—...

...Andrea Edith's...

...•••...

Andrea clenched her hand. He prepared to jump when he realized that someone had caught him, taking him to the back to save his life...

Andrea could only moan when her spine hit something hard. He turned his head to the side and realized that he was currently in the arms of someone who had just saved himself from being wronged. Andrea sighed, the two of them were now in a supine position with bodies as hard as steel encircling her body.

Warm...

He tried to focus his gaze on the face with the hard jaw with eyes that were no longer blurred. And now his chest is slipping. The shock mixed with an uncertain feeling made him only able to open his mouth speechlessly. Even to mention the name of the man who had been leaving him with a saying without reason alone he could not...

"You... Fine sa—"

"You.." That's all Andrea can say. There's nothing else.

"You... Andrea..."

Yeah, it's me. How could fate ever bring us together again in this situation? How can a man I can't forget all my age now even meet with my chaotic condition like this?

"Kean?! What are you doing here?" Andrea even had to feel claustrophobic when saying the man's name.

"You... You okay?" ask Keanu again.

I'm fine, but my heart hurts. And this is all because of you. Where have you been all this time? Do you live by forgetting me?

"Boss? Did you just catch a spy?!"

Andrea and Keanu tried to get up with great difficulty from his position when he realized a man was coming in a hurry. Once he and Keanu could stand up, several people in the same clothes approached them. Andrea gawked when she realized that the once deserted place was now filled with about fifteen people by men with similar characteristics; tattooed, sangar, and scary.

Andrea was getting confused when everyone. Except for Keanu and the man who came earlier now even pointed a gun at him. All of those people were looking at him alertly and alertly. Like an animal being hunted, Andrea could only gape. He didn't know what was wrong to the point that the men were ready to pull the trigger and shoot him in the head. What the hell's going on?

Suddenly Keanu raised his hand. The man stood a step before him quietly like a shield. The man's tall body sticking out was used by Andrea to hide.

"Rom, it's not really. He's not a spy!" keanu said mediate.

Like the man in the action films who remained calm, Keanu did the same. The difference is, it's not a drama. Andrea's life is in danger.

"Sir, you better not try to protect him or our secret will be exposed. Let us finish off the woman and keep doing our job as usual..."

Sir? The boss? Does Keanu know all these big tall men? Are all those people Keanu's subordinates? Why did they speak so courteously and carefully to Keanu as if that man was their leader?

So many questions Andrea wanted to ask. Andrea did not dare to open her mouth. He simply pulled Keanu's coat tightly to hold on as long as he hid behind the sturdy body.

Keanu raised his hand. "We don't have to be rash, Rom. You know me. We don't have to argue for small matters, do we? Now get your men to lower their weapons or I won't spare you all!"

With that one command, everyone lowered their weapons. Keep it under your pants pocket. Andrea did not know if he should be stunned because nearly fifteen people were subject to Keanu's orders or even worried about him. Could it be that Keanu himself will finish him off?

Keanu turned towards her for a second before finally nodding his head. "Yes, I know him. I don't know how he got here and escaped your guard. But I can make sure he's not a spy."

"How are you sure? What if he's the one who sent our intel or our rivals to watch our every move?"

What are they talking about exactly? Andrea really doesn't understand.

Keanu looked at him from top to bottom. Then smile on his side. "Rom, just look at her clothes. She was still wearing a wedding dress. Looks like this woman ran away from an arranged marriage or something. I'm sure there's not even a gun behind her dress!" Keanu was grieving, as if laughing at Andrea. "Let me take care of. You just go on guard."

What the fuck?! How could he put on an amused face to mock me like that? You male fox! You're still like ten years ago! Just watch out for you!

"alright, Sir. We'll be guarding outside. We're not gonna finish him off. But we have to interrogate him again before deciding whether he deserves to be released or killed."

"You're right!"

Andrea fear. What interrogation? Why did everyone threaten to kill him? Oh God. Who is he until everyone should feel threatened because of his existence. She was just a bride left behind by her future husband. Then why?

After everyone left, and left Keanu alone. Andrea. He looked at Keanu with many questions. "Why are they all intending to introduce me?" tanyakanya.

Keanu shrugged his shoulders. "Because you're in a place you shouldn't be, Andrea!" yells. "I don't even know how you could find this place and be here like a spy."

Andrea tousled waist. "What spy?! I don't even know who they are. I'm just trying to calm myself down" Andrea replied.

"With intent to commit suicide?"

Andrea did not open her mouth to answer. Then he gave up. "It's none of your business. Never mind, now I have to go. I don't want to deal with you or with your scary friends!" Andrea turned her body. Prepare to put his feet up to go. He stopped when his hand was blocked by Keanu.

"You can't go, Andrea!" keanu said calmly.

Andrea frowning. "Why? I gotta go home. You don't see yes, my clothes are wet from the rain. I could have a cold if it kept going here. Papa must have been looking for me anyway."

Keanu did not answer. The man simply took off his suit, and covered Andrea's exposed shoulder. "I'm sorry, but you really can't leave. For a while you have to come with me and do a series of introductions."

Andrea frowning. Then stomp his feet. "I'm not a spy!!! I told you, right?! You don't trust me anyway?!"

Keanu nodded. "I believe. But those you just saw won't believe it, Andrea. I don't work alone. My organization has rules and agreements that cannot be broken. If you step your foot out of here without me, I'm sure they'll kill you right away. Trust me!"

Andrea closed her eyes. "What organization? What the hell are you talking about? I really don't understand!"

"I'll explain later. There won't be any trouble if you come with me tonight. I promise I won't do anything bad to you. But believe... It's for your own life!"

Andrea refused to believe it. She is a woman with high rationality. He does not want to be in this kind of scope. However, when Keanu said it in a reassuring tone, Andrea wavered as well. So then... His life is threatened? Butwhy?
