You In The Rain Vol.1
The Women In Red

..........

"clack!"

The sound of the door opening from the outside, Riana and Luke enter Cody's suite apartment.

"Hallo Riana is coming!"

Riana exclaimed inwardly, the time showed ten o'clock in the morning but there was only Hervant sitting in the middle room busy with his laptop.

"Eh Ri, morning really, wah Luk, I didn't say if it's up to us khan can pick up at the airport" Hervant said. Lukas smiled, immediately dropping himself onto the soft sofa of the living room, his eyes inexhaustibly admiring the apartment that was so large in size.

"Well, the apartment is so big, well, opah Cody must be a very rich man well, this furniture is expensive all this high class"

Hervant raised his shoulders.

"Don't know also, until now he has not met, he khan lives abroad"

"He, strange opa, meeting grandchildren after all this time instead of being found first, is it true about her birth?"

In front of Cody's room door, Riana smiled amusedly by herself, a beautiful and slightly mischievous shadow appearing on her head.

His hand was still holding the handel of the room door.

In Riana's shining eyes.

The sun came in through the curtains. It was Saturday, no extra work on Saturday, so Cody could still sleep quietly in his soft bed.

Of course it was Riana who was the most pleased, she sat down beside Cody's bed, huddled her chin on the table, staring at Cody who was still fast asleep.

Her plump eyelashes, her pointed nose, her pink lips, her smooth and white skin, it's not strange that Cody likes a lot, anyone will love it.

"Heh Cody is really cute" slowly so as not to wake Cody, touched Cody's front hair that a little curl fell on his forehead.

At that time, maybe Riana was the luckiest girl, she could not ask for more just seeing her heart sleep soundly in front of her already very happy.

"Heh Cody"

But, uh,

it was only a shadow on Riana's head, because when the door of the room was opened, Cody's bed was empty and tidy.

"loh?"

The romantic tone stopped suddenly because the shadow on his head did not match reality.

Riana exited the room and stomped her feet in front of Hervant with an annoyed face.

"Where's body? there's nothing in the room you can't say?"

With ease Hervant saw the pouting face of Riana He and Luke almost exploded from holding back a laugh.

"Hehe, you didn't ask me to come in, don't excuse me"

"Well khan I told Cody that this morning is coming, it's Saturday morning, it should be a holiday, I'm off" Riana sat next to Hervant with a grumpy face.

Luke pats Hervant's arm.

"Her father, it's Saturday, is the child not on holiday?"

Hervant continues to work on his laptop.

"Suddenly there was a call early in the morning, it seems like another case, since the internship in the police, Saturday, and sometimes even weeks he will leave if there is a duty"

Lukas grabbed a snack of fried beans in a jar on the table.

"Well, aren't you tired? It's anemia so, come here and there, if you faint how tuh"

Riana patted Luke's arm.

"Cody is healthy, if there's Riana he won't be sick donk don't underestimate my Cody well"

"Well I'm worried, the energy is drained a lot, not to mention always visited by uninvited guests, college, internships, heh Cody it"

Hervant realizes Luke's words are very true, so he remembers Cody's expression last night, when he saw something in his kitchen room, and it also greatly disturbs him because he does not know how to help his best friend.

"God"

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Flashing the flash several times fluorescent, Cody very seriously took every inch of the photo as much as he could.

The cold body of a red-clothed young woman was found by a passerby this morning, just lying stiff on the sidewalk where many pedestrians passed by.

Her face was still complete with her make-up only her white skin turned pale bluish with eyes still widened, like the horror that was still left in her last gaze.

For a moment Cody stopped his movements, the woman's face, it was very clear in his memory that he saw the woman being killed as in front of his own eyes. But what is possible? What he can now see is death even when he does not know the victim at all.

His head was getting dizzy, he could not think about it but it was impossible to ignore it either.

Tony who had been observing Cody approached touched Cody's shoulder which was still squatting in front of the corpse in a silent position.

"Cod, uh, are you done?"

Slightly flinched, Cody raised his face, he stood up, but too quickly to make his gaze dark for a moment.

"Ach"

Tony held Cody's slightly staggered body.

"hey slow down, you're standing up too fast, is that okay?"

Cody shook his head smiling at Tony who was looking at him anxiously.

"He thanks Ton, just a little hungry maybe"

Rio's approaching fast.

Tony nodded "ready boss"

Rio looked at Cody.

"Hi Cod, uh are you done? I find out about the cctv cameras around and there's one but a little far away, hmm" Rio's spinning looking around.

Cody looked at the corpse in front of him, his face covered with blood that almost dried up under his body.

A woman of the same appearance stood among the crowd, just silently looking at her stiff body and raising her head to look at Cody, as if realizing that Cody could see her.

"This looks like Rio's robbery, the bag isn't there"

Realizing Tony's words, Cody clearly remembered that in his dream the man who killed the young woman ran towards the alley across the street, without waiting for her to rush towards the highway.

"Where is he going?" Tony asked, pointing to Cody crossing the street.

As if unaware of anything else, Cody just walked straight across the street without looking right left.

The passing vehicles are not crowded but there are passing through, and it is very dangerous, Rio thought.

"Cody!" Rio Seru.

“Brummm!”

It's almost a motorcycle grazed Cody if it wasn't for someone pulling him fast.

"Hey be careful!"

Like a sluggish movement, that person pulled Cody quickly towards him protecting him from the fast-flowing motor.

Cody regained his senses, he returned to his current world, the young man held his hand tightly after saving him from an accident that might have happened had it not been for his sprightliness.

"Eh, thank you"

The young man smiled, released his grip.

"Don't daydream that way, you're okay khan"

Cody shook his head, his gaze still towards the large trash can in the alley between buildings.

Rio and Tony are closing in.

"Cody, are you okay? Since you were in such a daze, if not for him earlier you have been dragged by a motorbike" Rio said pointing towards the tall young man who was still standing behind Cody.

Cody pointed towards the large trash can that was enclosed in front of him.

"Eh, I think, that lady's bag was there, the killer dumped it there last night"

Rio, Tony, even the young man was silent, as if he did not understand what Cody was saying, but Cody's serious expression made Rio think.

"Hmm how can you be sure that Cod" while talking Rio approached the big trash can, opened the lid, not yet finished continuing his speech he fell silent, Tony exclaimed as he turned his head into the trash.

"There! A there's a bag inside! here, got him Cod? Ba how uh.."

Tony was at a loss for words, he and Rio looked at each other, and saw Cody still putting on his serious face.

Tony who seemed to believe in removing the contents of the medium-sized red bag, there was a long wallet where the woman's identification card immediately appeared in it.

"Rika Reyes, this, the same person khan Rio?"

Rio held his breath for a moment, occasionally still looking at Cody's face.

"Well, you're great, you know well" exclaimed Tony.

Rio approached Cody, pulling Cody's hand slightly away from the crowd, both stopping not far near the forensic vehicle parked by the roadside.

"What?" Ask Cody,

"Okay, I don't know, either, what, is there something you want to tell me? Problem, whatever it is Cod"

Cody frowned, though,

"Em, what's Rio about?"

Rio took a deep breath.

"Later we will have a serious conversation in the office, don't forget it" he moved back towards the scene leaving Cody who still did not understand Rio's intentions.

However, Cody was silent, the woman known as Rika, appearing in front of him now as a bound spirit, her face dark, blood filling his clothes, almost all red, and almost all red, his condition was exactly the same as his body that was located on the road at the moment.

"Please, me" his heavy voice sounded clear in Cody's ears, he couldn't possibly ignore it.

"You know who did it?" Cody asked, the woman shook her head.

"No, but, there was, a smell that I couldn't possibly forget from that person, a very strong smell"

Cody frowned "smell?"

The woman nodded "Dad, I, don't know why he killed me, but, perhaps, everything has to do with the package, I, just took it the afternoon, even, haven't seen the contents, the sender, the sender, it was my long-dead best friend"

A package from someone who died? But how? Think Cody.

The woman pointed at Tony, who was holding a plastic wrap where his bag was inserted as evidence.

For a moment Cody was still standing in front of him, Rio looked back at him occasionally to check if he was still there or not, and when Cody turned his head around, the woman was no longer in her place.

"Eh, Rica"

It has disappeared.

^^Bonded spirit, he who has just come out of his body due to spontaneous death such as accident, or murder, and from Cody's experience so far, they can survive for some time in this world, he said, for Rika there will probably be a time where she can appear for how many times before she can finally leave, or if not, the bound spirit will be stranded, stranded, where he would eventually be left behind in the world and become a curious spirit.^^^
