Film of Love

Quarante Huit

“The what?” Jace snaps. He was in great terror in how Han just drop a name like he drop a bomb. He is in no position to just say names or accuse them and beside, Jace thought that he is not affected by how he just said it casually inside the lair of the police. He has luck this day as Eugene is the only one in the room.

“Pardon us we just, well, you know guessing that might be one,” he reasoned out as he gave a sideways glare to the young man.

Eugene, the police officer clears his throat and said. “No worries! You didn’t take it as harm, right?”

Jace took his tone as a hint for the warning, obviously but then he just nod his head lightly like he will take it no harm when in the first place that name can be one of the masterminds. By any chance, it was also on Jace's top list of suspects, he knows the CEO but he doesn't know who is the chairman. People said he was in a coma, he died or he was far far away, and he knows that it is a rumor.

“Well, I guessed this will be the end of our discussions if you don’t have any more questions you can leave now.” Eugene took his hands out and gestures the two to exit the room. He took the silence of the two as the end and they gladly made a choice and stand up and make their way out.

Jace suddenly stop because he remembered to get a copy of the records.

“Sir, can I photocopy the papers?”Jace asked for permission, luckily for them, the officer is just about to put the paper back.

Eugene gave them the papers and instructed them. “About two doors away, the photocopy machine is there.”

Jace and Han replied. “Thank you, sir!” and they walk towards the xerox machine.

You can hear the machine noise while it’s being used in the silence that lingers around them both. Han looked around to observe if there is any signs of officers near them and took the chance to speak.

“uhm… Sir Jace, isn’t it odd?” he asked with a small voice, fear to be heard.

Jace looked at him and back to the machine and replied. “Well, I can’t judge him but yes I feel that too.”

Han nodded as he confirmed that Jace felt the same to the officer.

“How many are there anyways?” Han can’t keep his mouth shut and just asked him again.

“This will be the last.” Jace took the last one and neatly fixed them in order. His eyes landed upon a stapler and staple the pages into one that will separate the two—original and the copy one.

They went back and handed back the papers they borrowed and went back to the lobby and log out. They never realized that they spent a long time in that silent peculiar den.

The two went back to the street and Jace is now reading the papers. It was more detailed than what he said and shared and he was lucky that the man gladly agreed to take the original paper to be copied. It was a construction factory where most of the cement and concretes and other kinds of materials to build infrastructure are being made but one of the notes hidden in the lowest part said that they saw something that are materials that are illegally made but they just some of the pieces of it. It was a hard metallic and very sharp one.

He wants to know who wants to make those illegal things if it's not some company that rises immediately and that thought of him leads to one. It can be really one of them. He has a hunch but he needs it to be confirmed. They finally arrived at the area they parked the car and fortunately, it was not been towed away. Jace started the engine and went back to the road afterwards. He can't take the thought off his mind and he is itching to confirm it.

When he got a chance as the traffic lights pulls off, he texted someone who might know something about the material the police in 2013 found. He also wants to go to the abandoned factory to find more of it. The man who said to be helping him said yes.

“We should head back to the hotel and it is almost dinner time,” he said and Han just nodded. Han was different from earlier. He was silent like he was been told not to say anything and he was in dazed until the car went to stop and finally arrived to the hotel.

Jace nudges him and he gets startled by that. He looked around until he landed on Jace's face that gives off the face that questions what is going on to him. Han sighed buckled off the seat belt and went out the car.

“I am sorry sir. I think I am just hungry,” he said. Jace nods as he understand and told Han to get a room service once he enters his own room.

They were in their own room and Jace pulled his laptop on and starts searching for the black metal and he found nothing. It really does mean that it was made illegal and been purchased illegally. He also wants to know what it is. Jace didn't know that there was one line that might change his thought. We also saw a truck in the deepest part of the forest as we search thoroughly.

The location of the factory is really scary and creepy to go on and it was the most target hideout for those people who kills and kidnapped a being.

The birds chirp while the sun is up to the sky greeting everyone with its lovely light. Jace woke up by his alarm, this day will be their last day in Caen, and finally be going back to his normal life.

He is not worried about the things he left in Paris because the media and fans knows that he is on vacation and will be back, today, to star on the new project, Levitate Entertainment is working on.

It happened to be Saturday and it’s alright with it as they will have the time to finalize and conclude the one-eight of the things he have done. The two met in the hotels grandiose restaurant to eat their final breakfast for the last day. The food was great as well as the ambiance.

They bid farewell to Caen and also texted Dem who became acquainted with, during the days he is here in Caen and thanked her for all her efforts she made and finally went off to the road this time they’ll be going home.

“Shall we go downtown?” he asked the man besides him.

“Ah… yes we can,” he replied from zoning out.

“We can go to a Café and finalize all of the papers we have here and you will be helping me with it.” Jace told the pixilated man in the passenger seat.

They parked near by and just walked. Jace is walking and looked back to the man who is walking like a dead but then bumped into something or…someone.

He waited for the lady to looked up and meet his eyes but as she did it, his world went to stop.

He can’t seem to think right nor to believe that he was seeing and holding now is the woman he is finding for a long time. The woman he loved for such a long time and the reason he went back to France.

He went out of trance when he heard for the first time in such a long period of time—her voice.

“I’m sorry, sir—” she cut her own sentence and went dazed in his arms and find it adorable. He want to pinch her cheeks but then he was reminded that they were in the middle of the streets.

Although he wants to call her name he is afraid that their first meeting will be turn out drastically bad and he can’t even speak words longer than., “Miss, are you alright?” while he shook her body gently like a baby in his arms.

She snap back into the reality and apologized and quickly fixed her clothes and stood up straight. They both said no words but they both know they both want to speak not until Cosette and Han went to them almost the same time and asked what happened.

Unfortunately for Jace to introduced himself as his phone rang and the caller is his manager.

“Dang it!” he muffled under his head. He is annoyed by how his manager call him in a wrong timing. He excused himself but then the two ladies bid farewell as they went off to where they should be heading.

“Jace?” his manager asked to the line but received no response. “Jace!” this time he yelled and Jace startled by the sudden loudness.

“Yes, I’ll be there later,” he said like he knows what his manager is talking about and cut the line as he wants to follow Aryn to where they maybe.

“I finally found you!” Jace thought as his mouth curved into a smile.
