You In The Rain Vol.1
Extra : Police Building, office space investigation team.

.....

The quiet afternoon, there was no noise even the phone was rare, the atmosphere of the investigative crime scene team office was quite quiet, there was only Rio sitting at his desk looking at some files that had piled up, Cody sits at his desk doing his college assignments while Tony is out assigned Gus to investigate a theft case in one of the minimarkets, it's time for Rookie's own path, Rio who is super busy because his work is already mountainous.

Rio tried seriously, he tried hard seriously but once in a while he glanced at Cody, the young man seemed to make his concentration disturbed, even though he was just quietly focusing on his task.

The young policeman stood up from his seat, moving slowly towards Cody's desk.

Although he was already standing very close in front of Cody's desk but the young man seemed to ignore him, he did not pay attention to him at all.

"Ahem!"

The disturbed Cody raised his head, furrowing his brows looking at Rio who was standing in front of him with a ridiculous look.

"What's? You need help?"

Rio scratched his head, glanced at what Cody was doing on his laptop, just a report with figures that were very foreign to Rio who was lazy to think, majoring in Psychology is not easy, it is not easy, even during the semester break Cody had to do assignments and research reports to collect.

"Eh, busy?"

Cody looks disturbed, what kind of question it is, he will not ignore Rio anymore, at that time he is not so important.

"Emm, hemm" but Rio's voice looking at him with continued muttering made Cody even more disturbed, closed the screen of his laptop.

"What's wrong Rio, if you stand there I can't do my job, instead of agreeing that there's no work I can do my job here khan"

Rio pursed his lips.

"Well, but, you're not bored since you've been quiet, do a serious report, um..."

"So what do you want now?" Cody was irritated, not usually he was disturbed but Rio did often make him uncomfortable doing his college assignments in the office, how many times he always bothers him.

Rio stared at the old Cody face, the annoyed face that still remained adorable to Rio, it felt like he wanted to pinch that cheek, but he tried to hold it, could-can Cody think he was a strange person again.

"Emm, I'm, curious, indeed, you've never been scared huh? Seeing dead bodies in miserable conditions, seeing ghosts, whatever it is, then, how many times it almost dies"

Cody was tired of furrowing his brows, reopened his laptop screen, Rio was just an insignificant trite, taking up his precious time.

"Indeed, if I was afraid you'd find out, you should run?" Answer cynically.

"Well, if you're afraid it's like Tony, or like the new photographer yesterday, who has been out of nowhere now, it certainly won't hold and whoosh, blur disappear with the wind"

Cody refrained from laughing, Rio's face while mimicking the sound of the wind was very funny in his opinion.

"Well don't dong Cod, if you run away I want to disturb who else, ups means he relies on who else, all this time if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have climbed the ranks quickly, he said, Cody is the best" Rio exclaimed as he gave his thumbs up.

Cody smiled, he could not help but look at Rio's level of funny, indeed he had to admit he had begun to feel the loss of fear, whatever it was, as his friends said, he may have begun to numb, but in fact he also sometimes feel fear, the condition of the corpse is not good, a spirit with a face and a terrible condition even shaped, not even shaped, some had decayed to the depths, all kinds of deaths most unthinkable to others, he had seen them, even some still wandering spirits who did not know they were dead, until it seemed to disturb the humans around him, he had seen it, let alone what he had not seen, when he did not even know how to distinguish between living and dead creatures, when he is still very innocent and considers all beings the same, but no, since he began to know the world he has been accustomed to all that, it may be true said everyone, if he, if he, maybe it's starting to numb.

And now, he increasingly felt that the spirits were not scary at all to him, they were just the essence left behind when man lost his life, he said, they are only smoke that occasionally blows and will also pass along with the wind, they do not scare him, just now he feels a living human that is even more frightening than anyone.

"Prang" the sound of the locker door closed, the boys' changing room was crowded in the afternoon, some students who finished exercising cleaned themselves there and sat tidying themselves up before it was finished, wearing their clothes and shoes while chatting with others.

"Well he said he wanted to participate in the national championship, but because of the condition of his leg injury so while delay first" said one student.

"While it may be occupied by someone else well" continued another young man.

Cody walked into the room, he had just finished a light workout with Hervant and the other students on the basketball court and his shirt was full of sweat.

"I took a shower after this we ate pizza guys" exclaimed Luke patting Cody on the shoulder.

His best friend grabbed his toiletries in the locker and headed into the bathroom hallway, but Cody's hand held him back.

"Luk wait"

Cody was silent with his hands holding Luke and eyes straight towards the passageway, even Hervant who was about to catch up with Luke stopped his steps, he was suspicious of Cody's sharp gaze, he was suspicious of Cody's, the gaze he often found if he saw something strange.

"Don't say Cod"

Cody glanced at Hervant and Luke who saw him seriously, he gulped his saliva round, he already knew he shouldn't have entered that dressing room because of the growing rumors among the other students, and they are not without reason to speak so.

Not wanting to deal much, this was not the place, Cody put his equipment back into his sports bag, hooking it on his shoulders back.

"Eh, we, find another place yuk"

Hervant and Lukas looked at each other for a moment, but the two also began to be horrified by the conditions there, as what Cody imagined might not be ordinary.

"Cod wait!" Hervant embraces Cody's shoulder as he exits the dressing room, occasionally Cody still looks back at him, the dressing room merging with the old building, which used to be where some strange happenings happened, not without cause, Cody was still goosebumps when he imagined what he saw inside, a large figure, somehow shaped, covering one of the changing rooms with black smoke from floor to ceiling, he said, people say it's a collection of spirits from some vile death going on around it, and that's what Cody avoided so much, a spirit that stays too long to be attached to its new place forms an energy that attracts other curious spirits to join in, making the once-clean place dirty, and the men's dressing room, too, it is not unusual for the spirits to gather there, before the place is often used as a gathering place to do strange things, until several suicides decades ago, see much longer, and even more, the building was built on the old graves of displaced war-fighting ancestors, such a place does exist, the perfect place to gather the spirits, and that, that is, it wasn't Cody's realm to be able to touch him, that time he really had to retreat.

"Glek" Cody swallowed his saliva round.
