"Sir, we just receive word from Singapore." the man gulped a bit before he continues again, "They told me that Mr. Raymond has gone missing when they were just about to go to the private gate. He told them that he needs to buy something in a certain shop, but due to the crowded of people at the same shop Mr. Raymond went, they couldn't spot him afterward. His phone also has been turned off and they couldn't locate him anywhere around the airport."
Matthew rubs his bridge of the nose with rough. "Have they check every corner of that country?"
Again, the man gulped. "Regarding that, sir, Singapore govt insists us to follow the missing person procedure. They warned us to not mess up with the Custom Checkpoint between the neighboring country. We must first get permission from both govt before we can mobilize our people and check on the camera footage to find him."
"Gahh!! Don't they know the person that is missing is from Wayne's family?!" Matthew punches the metal bench while gritting his teeth. He doesn't care even there are a few bystanders looked at them right now.
Clenching his hand tightly, the man lowered his head before he speaks again. "They know about his identity, but they only give a special treatment if it was Mr. President and White House important person only. Other than that, we must follow the rules that have been set by their country's law. It's consists of a probability of three countries, sir. Mr. Raymond may have fled to either one of the two countries that day."
"Fuck them all!!" Matthew stands up and walks faster to the smoking area. His lung needs those smoke as soon as possible.
Without saying anything, the man who reported to him regarding the situation in Singapore following him from behind.
Took out his cigarette, Matthew put it into his mouth and lit it before he took a deep breath and exhale it out. "Tell them to follow their rules. Send more people to find him in those two neighboring countries. He must be in either of those three countries. Access from Singapore only has two ways out. Malaysia and Indonesia. Find him and escort him back. If he resists, use any way to make him obey. He needs to return back alive."
Nodded his head, the man said, "Yes, sir!" with a firm voice before he excused himself and instructing his man to do what his boss says.
After his subordinate is gone, he scratches his back of the head and took out his phone after that. Tapping his phone impatiently on the metal fence before he put off his cigarette and call the old evil woman who's waiting for his phone call.
'Stupid old woman, you restraining him too much and now he becomes a wild dog who gonna bite you off! Serves you right!'
…
Middle of August 2013.
Clack!
Luna opens the door and puts down her sling bag on the couch inside the bedroom before she went to the closet room and straight to the bathroom.
It's her first day of working as an assistant physiatrist's intern in the medical plaza in town. She got Victoria's recommendation letter as Victoria's said and she got her freedom to go outside of the house for work also from Victoria's order.
Meaning, Barbara will not have any voice about her leaving Raymond in the mansion while she goes to work.
It's a bit tiring on the first day, she encounters with so many different kinds of people with different problems and each of them has their special way to treat them. While she was soaking her body inside the tub, the glasses bathroom door was knocked by someone from the outside.
"D-Darling?" Raymond stuttering a little when calling his wife from outside of the bathroom.
Smiling, she gathers the soap bubbles inside the tub to cover her body. "Yes, dear? Come in." She still wants to soak her tired body and relax for a bit, thus she decided to let him go inside.
"U-um...Are you s-sure?" He still hesitates outside of the glass door.
"Yes, dear. Come in. I miss you all day long." She still persuades him. Knowing he might be blushing outside. But, really..when she was at the clinic, she keeps thinking what if her dear is confined inside the asylum if his state worsen? She probably cannot bear her sadness of seeing him throwing his tantrum and get tied up if he got violent.
She doesn't want something like that to ever happen to her dear, so she decides to learn more about how to control him from throwing his tantrum. With the third personalities who she thought a nice and normal person, she might have less time to see the autistic kid's personalities after this.
Click! Raymond opens the glass door slowly and looked at the woman, half-naked inside the tub for only a moment before he averts his eyes to the marble floor and turns around.
"I-I heard you home. S-so, I want t-to to talk with you." Raymond fidgeting a bit while hiding her red face.
"Mhm? What is it, dear? Come, sit here. So, I can hear it clearly." Luna look at the side of the bathtub which has a dry place in which he able to sit down.
"Uh..I-I think I-I'll just sit d-down here." Raymond then sits down on the dry floor and facing the marble dresser while leaning his back to the tub.
Luna chuckles and moves to the side of the tub, placing both of her arms on the edge of the tub and lean her head on top of her arms. Ready to hear him out.
"Alright, I'm all ears, dear" Luna whispers to him. She was so close to him and clearly saw his ear turn bright red after she teases him with the whisper.
'Ahh~ he's so cute. Please don't change into 'night' Raymond and stay like this.' She secretly prays while glancing over the clock hanging on the wall. He still has a little time before he changes his personality.
Yes, this house is full of the wall clock. For example, her bedroom at least has three clocks which are put in the main bedroom, the closet room and the bathroom. The 'night' Raymond is a punctual person. He wants everywhere he go must have a clock for him to look at. Even though he had a watch on his wrist. He's such a weirdo.
"D-don't tease me, d-darling." Raymond hides his face in between his knees.
"Okay.." Luna smiles and touches the tips of his ear. "I won't tease you."
Raymond secretly smiles before he said. "I..I just w-wanna tell you that I, I feel lonely w-without you in this house." he stops for a second before he said again. "C-can you, not go to w-work?"
Luna startled and turned silent for a moment before she inhales and says, "Dear..it's not that I'm leaving you for long. It just...I went out to learn things so that when your condition got worse I'd be able to help you. I want to know your world, dear. You are a dear person to me. So let me help you in the future. Okay?" Luna slowly trails her finger to touches his back of the head and played with his hair.
'Really, this man is so attractive.'
"But..I'll be lonely without you!" Raymond turned her head around and stare at her green eyes.
"I know.." Luna blinks her eyes before she continues again, "How about this? Every time I got my day off, we go on a date on that day?"
"D-date?" Raymond tilted his head a little. Not knowing the meaning of that word.
"Yes, date." Luna gently pulls her head closer to her and kisses on his cheek softly to which makes Raymond shut his eyes with sudden.
Luna moves her lips slowly to the corner of his lips before he says something.
"Hey.. how did I get in here?" Raymond coldly asked her that makes her flinch in surprise and almost hit her head to the water tap.
"R-Raymond?!" Luna's eyes grew wider when he stared at her with a dark expression.
"You-" He sighing and standing up, "Your bubbles already dispersed, you idiot. I can see your naked body clearly."
He then went out without ever looking back at her which already turned red as tomatoes.
"Raymond!!! You jerk!"
