Chapter 4
NARRATION
THE NIGHT BEFORE
As Dylan walk out of the elevator he insistently went in. The people on the 10th floor were already partying. Dylan is still on the door of the lift when Michael who stood near the lift saw Dylan. He is holding his drink on his right hand while Kyle who's beside him is currently indulging himself with girls who sat beside him.
"Yow! whoa whoa how did you get in the Private elevator" Michael said, he then take a sip on his alcohol,
"Oh! that guy helped me, though he does not talk too much" Dylan utter as he whisper his last phrase.
"Umm! will you please get off now? I can't close the door" his voice escape as Ezekiel try to ward off Dylan from stopping the door on closing for a minute now.
"Whoa! you're talking" Dylan was shock and smile as he look further to Ezekiel's face, that's when a glass of alcohol fell on the floor, it caught the attention of Dylan and Michael,
"Yow! are you okay Kyle?" ask Dylan as he hop towards his friend, the elevator door began to close and Kyle's eyes seems stuck to the man on the elevator, unfortunately it was too late when Kyle returned to his senses and the elevator already went upward up to the last floor.
"Ezekiel" Kyle said and Michael heard the name, so as Dylan
"Shoot, right! how can I forget, I knew I saw him somewhere, wait but why can't he remember me?" he utter, now the drunk Michael turned sober.
"Do you know where he came from?" ask Kyle
"No! I just saw him entering the private elevator and because I don't want to walk on the stairs I barge myself in" he explained everything. From the entrance of elevator until 10th floor.
"Is he that Ezekiel you've been looking for?" Michael asked.
"Well he seems like the one on the picture, though got a bit older but still" Kyle cut him off by asking which floor did that guy stop
"I think I saw the 20th floor light up, maybe he's at the top floor" Dylan said and without further words he run to the stairs up to the 20th floor.
It took him a while but as soon as he step on the 20th floor guards stopped him from going any further.
"Sir what are you doing here?" the guard ask
"Did you see the guy who just came out of the private elevator?" he ask
"Sir we can't say, we patrolled the other side and we saw nobody" the guard replied but they are lying, cause they greeted Ezekiel as he enter his room, it was true that they were patrolling the area, this floor despite at the top, everything inside the room are really high priced valuables, that is why the hotel is sending guards here to patrol every day and night.
"Are you sure?" Kyle ask once more.
"Yes sir we saw no one" he replied
"Kyle, what are you doing" Dylan and Michael run after him
"Sir we don't allow entrance of any person without the order of the chairman or from the management, may we ask you to return to the lower floor please" the guard stated,
"I'm sorry sir, my friend thought he saw someone he knew, we will go down now" Michael said as the three of them excuse themselves and entered the exit door where the stairs are.
"what are you doing, you can't just enter that place, the management will get mad" Michael said as he explains to Kyle.
"Pull yourself together, we can just ask Ezekiel's mother if he really came back but I doubt it, it has been 10 years and no news coming from him" he added and they walk back to the 10th floor but because Kyle seem can't contain himself, he excused and went home for the night.
END OF NARRATION
I walk out of the car and Amelia is waiting for me at the entrance.
"Welcome back sir" I nod in response.
"I'll eat downstairs, please prepare a light meal please" I told her, I walk towards the event area where special events are usually held, at the upper part of the event hall is the dining area for people which the Hotel recognized.
"Do you want a desert sir?" she ask
"Sure please I’ll have macaroons and a chocolate mousse" I reply
"Certainly sir" and she then dialed something in his personal phone and told them my desert. We are now entering the upper floor of the event hall and there are many tables in here, and there's also a huge monitor where you can watch movies.
"Do you want to watch something sir?" she ask
"No need, I'll just eat then rest" I grab the chair near the stairs and wait for my food, there are people who are also eating there, some of them are dating and some are resident of this hotel. They are looking at me cause Amelia is one of the hotel's supervisor and she is managing everything that I need. Well what can I do, the chairman and the president did this.
Reading the papers that I brought home, I need to make some changes with this book, there are many variables that may affect the efficacy of the medicine once it began its clinical trial. If this medicine is going to the path I imagine, this may destroy the immunity of a kid, and this medicine is supposed to be taken by a child. Anyway, let me set things right, this person may be in his 4th year residency and wanted to impress his supervising senior, indeed this will make a breakthrough, but a single misalignment on the quantity will be a huge problem in the future. I will meet this person if I have some time tomorrow.
After doing the papers, I wash myself and set everything to sleep, I set the music on for 1 hour and it will turn off automatically, the lights under the bed are on and the lampshade on the bedside table are the only light left that brighten the surrounding, I place the glass of water on the table and lay down on my bed. Oh by the way, James said he already have some lead to where those people are, but it will take some time cause it seem that the family changed their address, anyway it is still a good news for me, maybe I can find the answers to all of my questions once I meet them. I hope they are my family, I seem to have this feeling of ease when I watch the picture on my phone. I wonder why I don't have any numbers on my phone? Sheesh! it's bothering me so much. Oh? yeah I need to sleep I have a big day tomorrow. I switched off the lampshade and left the dim light under my bed. I lowered the AC to a minimum of 20 degrees. Then lied down on my bed and set myself to sleep, leaving my phone with a calming tune for 1 hour.
