Shadow of Love
Silhouette
In the dark alley of street
Fourth
Just pure bad luck is it.
A chill lingers on Fourth spine as the sharp end of the knife touches his skin
Fourth
Wait. Dude don't hurt me. I barely don't have anything.
The man searches Fourth's body but he suddenly falls on the ground, a blood flowing from his back.
Fourth was shocked as he saw the man laying on the ground. Fearing his life, thinking he would be the next one lying from the pool of blood.
As he was standing there a silhouette from a far emerges in the dark ally walking towards him. With the sound of footsteps coming for him. Fourth is praying for a miracle to happen.
Just a few more steps the silhouette will be uncovered.
Fourth
Please, don't hurt me. I don't have anything
The silhouette stops walking. Shaking his head.
As he stops walking the sound of the police car approaching echoed in the alley.
A glimmer of hope surrounds Fourth as he looks again. He doesn't see the silhouette as if it vanishes through the thin air.
Fourth
Fuck, what did happen?
The police approach. Questioning Fourth
police
What happened here?
Fourth
He attempted to rob me but was shot to death by someone. I didn't see what he looked like because it was dark but he is tall.
police
Do you have any other details about this shooter?
Fourth
No that's all. But I am afraid he will haunt me because I'm a witness of his crime.
Fourth said to the Police officer with trembling hands.
police
Don't you worry will put you under our custody for the time being.
police
You will be escorted to your house tonight.
On the way home, Fourth is still overthinking what will happen to him after that incident. He feels that he is being watched by unfamiliar gazes from the dark.
Stone cold Gazes
At midnight after Fourth was escorted to his house.
Fourth
Fuck. What happened? It is a dream?
Fourth
Am I the next target?
Fourth
Did I lock all the doors and windows?
Fourth
Fuck I can't stay still.
Fourth can't stay still until dawn. He is scared for his life. Thinking about what happened earlier.
Tick-tock Tick-tock. Only the sound of the wooden clock is echoing inside the room.
Fourth is standing on the window. Watching the city lights. Calming his senses. But he senses that someone is watching him from afar.
Fourth
Shit. I can't take it anymore.
Fourth called the police officer
Fourth
There is someone watching me.
Fourth
No I didn't but I can sense it
police
Be more vigilant right now. Lock all your doors and when you see anyone call me ASAP
it's already morning. Fourth didn't get any sleep. He's sipping on his coffee to calm his self.
？？？
Be careful always Fourth. I will always be here watching you.
Encounter
The place is crowded. Fast moving cars. Talking from side to side. People chitchatting.
Fourth
I hate going around at this moment. Peak hours.
Fourth
Should I rest inside a coffee shop? Or should I go home?
Fourth
Nothing will happen to me right here right? it's crowded. I guess I'll be safe here.
Fourth entered and sit at the corner. Peaceful and quiet.
Far across from Fourth. Someone is looking directly at him. Not breaking his gazes. Like watching his prey.
？？？
You can't escape me Fourth. Maybe a small token of my presence is a good start for our small encounter.
waiter
Sir, excuse me someone wants to give it to you.
A pearl necklace is given to Fourth. A questioning gaze he gave to the waiter
He questioned him looking for some answer.
waiter
I don't him sir. He doesn't give a name just a smile. He said that you know him.
Fourth
Fuck. Is he that man?
Fourth
Nothing. Thank you.
Fourth packed his things ready to leave. While walking he dialed his phone.
Fourth
Officer. He gave me something.
