"No.” Alice refused curtly, “Handsome guys are not to be trusted!.”
“What?!.”
“Especially, Dangerous ones!.” Alice added and Dylan stared at her completely speechless. I must have been mistaken. Her illness is in the last stage.
“Alright. I don't need the gun.” Dylan did something he will never think of doing in his life. Giving up. But, today. He did it. Saying this he sat back down and continue eating. If it was in a different situation, he would have lost his appetite but..... Rather, he is craving for more of the food.
“Better.” Alice calmed down, putting the saucepan on the dinning and starts eating while singing.
"…Oh, She's sweet but psycho.
A little psycho, at night she's screaming. “I'm mama- mama out of my mind”....."
Wow! She knew she's out of her mind. What a unique illness.
“What's your name?" Alice asked with a narrowed eye.
Looking at the woman trying to look intimidating act, Dylan replied. “Drew.”
He can't tell her his name, or it will put her in trouble. Dylan thought and then frowned, why do I care if she will be in trouble? Maybe because she saved me.
“Drew?What an innocent name for a dangerous person. “ Alice scowled and asked, seeing Dylan has already finished his food. “Want more?"
“No.” Dylan replied shaking his head. I am not a goat. He wanted to add but stop himself. He can't afford to make her crazy once again. “And you?”
“Alice.”
“Oh. Are you the one who treats me?" Dylan asked hoping the woman is not the one who treats him but alas, his wished is not fulfilled.
“Yes of course!.” Alice answered curly, "Who do you expect to treats you if not me.”
“How?!.” Dylan asked feeling quite uneasy. The wound he earned is very fatal and the way it was treated and bandaged seemed to be done by a professional doctor. And the woman did not seem like one. Or…. Was she before she went insane?
“I am a nurse.” Alice replied and continued, “So, you do anything funny, and I will end your life just the way I saved it.”
Nurse?!. Is she a mad nurse? “Oh. But, I repeat, I have no intention to end your life.”
Scoffing, Alice growled. “I don't care! Just don't ask for the gun.”
“Okay.” He doesn't really have to ask for it. He can search around for it. Dylan thought and asked as polite as he can be, “Can you please lend me your phone?"
Narrowing her eyes, Alice asked in a defensive voice. “Why?"
This question makes Dylan momentarily speechless, but still, he answered. “I want to make a call.”
“Call? Why?!.”
Is this woman alright? No. Why am I asking? She is insane! But, Dylan is starting to feel frustrated. He is not used to be questioned and never in his life has he tried to appease someone but, he is already doing this for the woman. And yet, she seemed not to be grateful! She is pushing him to his limit.
“You want to call the rest of your gangs, Right?" Alice accused, “You want them to save you right? You want them to come and kill me, RIGHT?!!.”
“Wrong..” Dylan answered while looking at the enraged Alice stunned. How on earth can her imagination had runs wild to that level? “I asked for your phone, not to call my mates. But, to call someone critical to me.”
“Someone important?" Alice looked at Dylan with a complicated expression." Are you married?"
“What?" Dylan was stunned but immediately composed himself," Yes. I am married and with two kids.'' Adding more testimony to his lie is a piece of cake for him. And hopefully, the woman seemed to believe him easily.
“And this what you did for a living?" Alice asked quite emotional, even though she was a little sad that the gentleman is already taken a bit there is nothing she can do about it. After all, she quite hoped she will make the gentleman falls for her since he came into her house and the God of love must have sent him, but she was mistaken. It was all her fantasy. Seems like she will never get married in this life.
“Hmm. Yes.” Dylan answered nodding, “This what I do for a living. Its no big deal. I have to provide for my family after all.”
“Oh. I am sorry.” Alice apologized, “I shouldn't have judged you like that. Here, you can call her. And…. Your wife is very lucky.” Alice added handing Dylan her phone.
Raising an eyebrow, Dylan collects the phone and went into the balcony and dialed Olivia number. The call went through quickly and Olivia's voice sounded in the phone.
“Boss. Where are you? “
"I am fine for the moment. How is my sister? Has she given birth?''
“Yes boss. She gave birth to a twin and your grandmother is already so worried about you.”
“Am fine.”

In the living room, Alice has already done the dishes and was about to watch her favorites shows which will soon starts when she heard a knock on her door.
Standing up, she went to her door and looked at the peephole and was shocked to see the man in black from last night. He did not find out Drew is here right?
