110. Move smart not fast
Raina’s hands were white from gripping the steering wheel so tight The city lights blurred past “Less than two hours… two hours…” she muttered. “I have to find him. I can’t waste time” Her pulse hammered in her ears Every stoplight actually felt like an eternity Cars swerved around her, horns blaring She barely noticed A motorbike nearly clipped her bumper “Put yourself together, Raina” she whispered to herself Raina skidded into the tech shop parking lot, slammed the door and she quickly ran inside The clerk looked up with a bored eye that noticed Raina was panicking “You okay, ma’am?” Raina didn’t answer She darted to the counter instead, grabbed the first phone that she saw “Fastest one you have” she snapped. “No extras. No accessories. Just this” The clerk hesitated. “Do you need a case, for protection” It seemed like a good idea since she was always fond of throwing her phone on the wall “I don’t have time!” she hissed The clerk heaved a sigh like s

Raina stared at the phone in her hands Her thumb was still bleeding from the screen glass that had pierced it The screen was cracked She almost regret the habits of throwing things, it never did end well She pressed the power button again Only the white lights again It didn’t come up “Fuck…” she whispered She was frustrated, if her phone was down that means she couldn’t receive nor make calls Her chest rose and fell too fast, she forced herself to breathe She breathed in and breathed out She had to think, that was not the moment for panicking Not now Leon’s number was stored in the phone Everything was in the phone She ran her fingers through her hair and looked around the room “Put yourself together Raina” she muttered to herself “Think…think” Her eyes landed on the old telephone fixed to the wall The landline She rushed to it and lifted the receiver Her fingers shook as she dialed St. Mary Children’s Home Busy She hung up and dialed a

At Doctor Banks Hospital The room smelled like antiseptic, the room was quiet save for the machine beeping Tara’s eye gently flickered, then it went open slowly, she stared at the ceiling, counting the tiny cracks One…two…three It was another room, when was she moved? Her head didn’t hurt this time That alone felt strange, she felt much better this time The door opened softly as Leon walked in He still wore the black shirt she had known him for and his shoes, every so the same Leon, her pauper husband He also had his controlled face “You are awake” he said “Is that how you greet?” Tara replied instead Leon was as much as she knows him, arrogant and poor “I see you are getting back your memory” Leon chuckled, that was the real Tara The mean and sassy one “Did you expect my memory to be gone forever?
