Zack, husband of Rosa, has a mysterious job that Rosa doesn't know about. Zack always comes back home late, but doesn't explain himself
Now at the present time
Rosa was sitting alone on the couch, wondering when Zack would come back.
Phone rings
- Uh… Who is it? Oh... Hello?
- Hello, my love. Are you awake?
- I've been waiting for you for so long, where are you?
- I'm really sorry, you know... The boss is making me work overtime again.
- Well, please try to come, it's almost midnight.
- Yes, I'm on my way.
- Alright, come home safely.
Rosa has this uncomfortable feeling of doubt about her husband. As if she was suspecting something. Zack comes back shortly after.
- I'm home...
- Finally...
Rosa hugs him tightly.
- Give me the coat. I'll put it somewhere.
- Thanks honey... You're very generous.
She gives him a soft smile and takes the coat. Her eyes suddenly landed on his shoes, which had some kind of red stains. He eyes widen slightly, but she doesn't make it obvious to Zack to notice.
- Uhmmm... Honey, how was work?
- Very tiring. I wish I could take a break.
- Well, you can rest now. I assume you didn't have your dinner.
- Right...
- Get freshen up first. I'll set the table.
- Thank you... *kisses her forehead*
Zack walks away. Rosa grabs the shoes as soon as he leaves. To her surprise, that was not a normal red stain. It was something she couldn't explain. But however, she decides to stay silent for now.
She sets the table and starts wondering how a gentleman can be a bad person behind the mask. But she shakes off that feeling because she might be wrong.
The washroom door cracks open.
- I'm feeling refreshed now...
- Dinner's ready.
Time skips. In bed, Rosa was lying down. She can't shake off the feeling of the earlier situation. She decides to follow Zack from now on.
The following day, she calls her detective friend, Mark. Mark is well known for his smartness and ability to find information about criminals.
- Hello? Mark?
- Rosa? What's up? You don't sound good at all.
- Uhm I need your help.
- Yes? About what?
She explains everything to him.
- To be honest, I think it's not normal at all. Do you want me to investigate it?
- I mean, tell me a way. What should I do?
- I have an idea. The next time you see him leaving, you can follow him but be careful about getting caught. If he's truly dangerous, he might harm you.
- Is that a good idea?
- Trust me. Even if it's not, I got your back. I will give you enough protection.
- Thanks Mark, you're truly a good friend.
- Update me later, alright?.
- Alright.
Time skips. At 7 PM, Zack comes back home only to leave again.
- Where are you going? You just came back...
- Business meeting, love. I'll be back soon.
- Oh...
- What's wrong? You seem a little off from last night. Is it because of me?
- Uhmm.. Well yeah.
- Someone's missing me a lot. Don't worry. I'll come back soon and spend time with you.
- Alright.
She gives him a soft smile. As he leaves, she remembers about what Mark told her to do. She gets prepared to follow him, to the "business meeting" he is about to go.
