In the NICK of TIME

Chapter 4

Nick turned in Kaisley's direction. He crossed his arms and then looked at the girl straight in her eyes. "Oh, all right. Before I agree to help you, I want to know all the details of the incident from you. For now, go to bed first so that tomorrow you will have the strength to tell me everything." In the tone of Nick's speech, it seemed as if he was still amazed at the danger to the girl's life so Kaisley felt irritated by it.

Kaisley also thought about what the young man with the two pairs of blue eyes said. "Eh, where can I sleep? I said earlier that my life is in danger and I can't just go home alone. I don't even know if those who are chasing me have been waiting for me there. " Kaisley felt nervous and scared again when she remember the events she witnessed that seemed to last for the rest of her life.

"Miss, this is a coffee shop that also need to be close. Second, two men are standing in front of you. Do you want to sleep over with one of us or do you want to stay here and if there is a missing things, I will make you pay. So, will you choose between the two? "

Kaisley knows that whichever of the two she chooses does not suit her. If she chooses the third option, her life will be doomed. Kaisley thought for a moment. Throughout her life, this was probably the hardest decision and situation she ever faced. Will she choose to stick to the knife or will she put one of her feet in the pit?

Kaisley, meanwhile, was in the middle of thinking when they suddenly heard a gunshot coming from outside the coffee shop. The three of them looked at each other. Kaisley knew who the sound of that gun was coming from, but they could not help but ask themselves why the gun was fired and who the people in their minds had shot.

However, nervousness and fear enveloped Kaisley's entire system when she heard that bang. She knew that the people who were possibly chasing her were close to where she was standing right now. Kaisley just bowed and inevitably cried silently because she no longer knew what to do. Kaisley's two companions noticed this. Nick and Joe looked at each other. As they stared, their eyes seemed to speak. Joe walked in Kaisley's direction. Smiling, she took Kaisley's hand and pulled it towards the back of the counter where Kaisley saw another door. In fear of Kaisley, she just let Joe to hold her hand and pulled her.

When Kaisley and Joe entered, Joe quickly closed the door. In the darkness of the surroundings because the light inside turned off, Kaisley could no longer see what the room she had been brought to was for. Because of the darkness, Kaisley's body did not seem to want to separate from the chest of the young man with her even though she knew she did not know him very well.

"Here we go first, miss Kaisley. Don't worry. Nick knows what he's going to do."

Kaisley felt the speaker's breath on her nape. It gave creeps to her fur. Joe move from Kaisley a little closer and because of this, the tip of Joe's nose seemed to stick to Kaisley's nose. Kaisley almost pushed the young man because of what had happened, but she restrained herself when she remembered the situation she was in now.

Gradually, Kaisley felt the sweat leading to her forehead and the warmth of her face. Kaisley would have liked to move away and move, but Kaisley feared she might make a mistake in her movements. Meanwhile, Kaisley and Joe both heard the door of the coffee shop open and some people walk inside.

"Are you sure you saw the woman enter here?"

"Yes. We are not mistaken!"

"Welcome to my coffee shop. What is your order?"

Kaisley could not see what was going on inside the coffee shop because only words could be heard from her hiding place. Kaisley heard a familiar voice and as a result, fear enveloped her whole system again. Kaisley seemed even more out of breath at the place where she is now. Kaisley felt Joe holding her hand without Kaisley realizing it was shaking. In the warmth of Joe's hand, Kaisley felt security. Her body temporarily calmed down and quietly listened to what was happening inside the coffee shop where they left Nick.

"B-Boss, are you-"

"Stupid! He's not the person you're thinking of! You're Nick, aren't you?"

"I am. What do you need?"

"Isn't there... a stray rat here?"

"Heh. If there was, I would have killed the rat because she was bothering my coffee shop."

Five minutes later, silent aroused the room. Kaisley's nervousness returned. She could not help but to think about the security of the person Kaisley and Joe left. Kaisley took a deep breath in relief when she heard the voice again.

"All right. Then I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Kaisley heard footsteps moving away, but it stopped and stopped before Kaisley could hear the sound of the door opening.

"By the way, he wanted to tell you that be careful and don't act like a dog that wants to grab his rat food."

"Heh. All right. Please tell him to continue to be a cat. A cat that is gentle and tender to his boss."

After Kaisley heard Nick's voice, she heard another door that close. A few more minutes passed before Kaisley heard Nick's voice again.

"You can two go out now if you are still alive."

When Nick said that, Joe quickly pulled Kaisley out of their hiding place again. Kaisley was not on her own as she stared at the two pairs of blue eyes. Kaisley felt skeptical because of what she had heard that she could not understand what it meant.

"K, fine. Come with me to my house. You can spend some time there now."

Because of her lack of self, Kaisley could not react to Nick's statement. She just nodded and did not speak again.
