CLASH

Confusions

What the hell is going on….? Thought Andrew as he received the footage from the hallway of his deceased partner, John…

His heart raced…. As he saw the woman knocking at his dead partner’s door…

That’s the preacher’s personal secretary….

Is she an accomplished…? Is she the perpetrator? Damned it!

His head ached from the fact….

It seems impossible that Bryan and Samantha have connection, yet from his long experience, it was never what it looks in the surface…

They both can collaborate….

It’s about revenge….

But how….?

He picked up his phone and dial his office, while he opened his laptop, and typed a formal request…

“We need to get the phone record of Samantha and Bryan, make it three years back…” He said to the legal team back at the office, as he sends formal request letter to his office….

“And we need to confront the assistant with the son…. I’ll bring him to base….” He said ending his conversation and then dialled the number of his local colleague….

“Come and get me, we have to get to Bryan….”

****

“What about the waitress….?” Asked the local agent as they drive by Maya’s apartment….

“I need to get him as soon as possible…” Said Andrew, not wanting to lose any seconds to get to the man….

****

At her apartment, Maya feels anxious and restless….

She feels that her heard beating faster, pumping all her lust throughout her vein, burning her with desire….

Oh God…. Why can’t I stop thinking of them? She thought as the flashing images of both the goth girl and Bryan come in her mind….

And every time their face flashing by, she was aroused….

God…. What am I doing…?” She thought, feeling embarrassed when she realized that her hand already slides inside her pantie and started massaging her most private and intimate part…

I need help….! She thought, quickly take a quick cold shower, to cool off her lustful thought, and then quickly get dressed and head out her apartment, just as the government issued vehicle passed her by….

“Hope they bring answer about where that SOB is about….” Said the owner of the carwash as he saw the two agents walk towards them….

Bryan saw the serious looks at those two agent faces, and he realizes that they come not to give the news about his missing colleague….

“Ah come on officers…. I already missing one of my crew, and you want to bring my last crew for questioning? Can’t you do it over here….?” Said the objected owner….

“He has to come…. He needed for confirmation…” Said Andrew to the disgruntled owner….

“Look, I’m sorry for your crew, man…. Here…. List of names that can be a replacement…. I vouch for them…” Said the local agent, handing a paper with list of names in it….

The carwash owner frowned, doesn’t like the idea that he has to close his shop, and take time for another interview…. But to go against the agents was unwise things to do….

“Bryan…!” He shouts to the man, wiping his hand as he come and meet the group…

“I guess you won’t be around for a while, Bryan…. Sorry but I have business to run, hope you’ll understand my situation….” Said the owner, trying to put the blame to the agents…

The man just smiles and went to the locker room, with Andrew following him….

“Hey…. I’m not going to run, man…. This is not necessary…” Bryan said as he went to the locker room, and about to change….

Andrew sigh, yet giving Bryan some space as he changes his jumpsuit to his regular clothes…

****

Bryan tries to act normal, but he can feel all eyes were onto him as he was escorted by Andrew to his trailer, to take some changes….

“Is everything okay?” Asked his neighbour, while the other residents looking over, curious of what happened, some with angry looked on their face, thinking that the law enforcers only tough on them since they were poor….

“Yes, Sir…. Everything is okay…. These gentlemen just needed me to be a witness….” Explained Bryan, that makes the man backed little, believing what his neighbour says….

****

“Have a save trip….” Said the local agent as he shakes hands with Andrew, while Bryan stands next to them, in his open blue shirt, that shows his white t-shirt underneath, khaki trousers, a pair of white sneakers, and his bag in his shoulder, just hung about, because both his hand, in front of him, covered with sweaters were handcuffed….

“Thanks for explaining with your neighbours…” Said Andrew as they sit at the back seat of the train cart, opposite to each other, then ordering two coffees and sandwiches to the train stewardess, and put them in the table in front of them.

Bryan just shrugs and put his sight outside the window, while Andrew boots up his laptop, and started making phone calls to his base…

“Can you reach her…? When can we have fer for questioning…? Okay, I’m on train right now…. I’ll call you before our arrival…”

Bryan ignores all that, put his head to rest, and sleep….

****

What…? Why am I here…? Thought Maya as she realizes that she was standing outside the picket fence of the rundown church….

But still, her hand opened the creaky gate of the church and went inside….

She can hear her heart beating hard, as her feet, that seems to have mind of its own and taking him closing on the handsome pastor….

“What can I do for you, Maya….?”

Maya feels that her body made from jelly, as the voice of the preacher seeps to her body like a soothing liquid that flows through her vein….

“Pastor…. Help me….” She asked, sitting beside the preacher…. “Help me to overcome my sin….”

“Fall in love was never a sin, Maya…” Said the preacher that makes Maya surprised…

How did he know…? She thought….

The preacher chuckled and say…. “What sin that most common, Maya…. If it’s not about the sin of the heart…. Love and all of its problem….”

Embarrassed by the notion, Maya continues….

“Yes, pastor, then help me…. Help me not to fall in love with another woman….”

“And you think that falling in love with another woman is a sin…?” Asked the preacher…

“Yes, pastor….” Said Maya, trying to

“And you are afraid that you might get the same punishment as described in the old testament….” Said the preacher, wanting some clarification from the girl who fell silent….

“Did you believe that His blood saves you, cleanses you…?” The preacher asks…

“I do…” Maya answer, with tears in her eyes…

“Then what have made clean, you must not call profane…” Said the preacher…

“If you believe that He is love, that remember that his love is pure, remember that He said, in Him there is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one…”

“Oh Pastor…. But I am afraid that He would punish me…. That I’m not worthy of his love….” Asked masa, crying, as the preacher, clasp her hands with his…

“You are here because he called you…. And remember that He once say… Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine…”

“Oh Pastor….” Maya sobs as the preacher strokes on her hand…

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God….” He said…

“So, love, Maya…. There is no sin in love…. Open your heart…. Free your spirit…. Love anyone your heart desire…. Make love to them….” The preacher said, raising the chin of the sobbing girl, their eyes met…

And then, they kissed….
