The day seemed to want to end, the Noise in the City still hadn't diminished... But some positions seemed to be closing, others only changed shifts in some jobs... Same as always... Rusel sighed, three days had passed... No... It wasn't three days, two weeks!... That he hadn't seen Rise and Dark, they didn't answer their calls or messages, had something happened to them?... Even at work everything was so silent and cold... The Boss had not shown any signs of life, even the Boss seemed to be missing!... Although I confirm several times that he was in his office asking Raúl...

But, he seemed to be more locked in his office... Maybe he was thinking too much, but... Everything seemed so strange, in general... Everyone was acting strange, his Husband had told him that he was exaggerating and his Daughter was included in the conversation...

Or maybe, he was just being excluded from something important that he hadn't noticed... It usually happens, with that reason or excuse, he walks tiredly to Rise's house... When he met Rise, he thought for a few times, that he lived in an Apartment... It didn't look like those Young People who wanted a House, the Young People of today preferred a luxury apartment instead of a house, it was their surprise to see the opposite... Apparently, Rise he loved homely houses... Where there were trees and pretty flowers, even squares... Rowuy Street had all that, pretty neighborhoods, clean streets... There were squares, the houses were made of wood, they had trees and gardens with very pretty...

Everything was beautiful, but he was not fooled by the appearance of the Place, he knew from Rise that at night this place was dangerous... The place was dark at that time, there was not much lighting and almost no one left their houses... Sometimes he wondered how Eclip, all Naive not to say idiot, was still alive... He felt happy that his friend was alive, but... But, by God, Rise was going back to high late at night to his House and nothing had happened to him yet!... If he were the Young Secretary, he would have already cried with fear when walking back home late at night, in the dark...

And even though his friend was still alive, the scare they gave him on the street that time he told them about being followed or something like that, heavens... Rise had proven to have Intelligence, his titles said so and with honors... But sometimes he doubted his peerless naive brain...

She sighed, again... This time she stopped at the house of Lady Venus, Miss perhaps... She had never seen the Lady's Husband or her Children that she said she had, the house was always silent and Venus was always she was telling or finding out a new gossip... But Dark had told her that she really was married, Rise told her that the Husband was strange, that is to say... He was never there and the times he came back it was to leave his suitcase of dirty clothes and packing a new one to leave, several times Rise told him about having talked to him... Although he didn't really seem happy with Eclip, the Husband of Venus called him a bad Neighbor and her Children called him unbearable...

And speaking of the Children, they only rarely came when they needed something...

Venus seemed to be married to an idiot ogre and have Children who don't seem to care about their Mother, maybe that's why the Woman was always down... Trying to keep her spirits up when maybe she wants to cry...

He went back to his walk, he didn't have to waste so much time, Cleror was waiting for him to eat... After the other week his friends abandoned him on that free day he had planned... What a horror, he just walked and quickly arrived to the House of Rise Eclip, his friend... The House had a wooden fence that surrounded it, painted with white colors... The front garden was beautiful, a tree on the right, it even had a swing on the tree... To his left there were bushes and flowers, not bad...

Rusel looked at the mailbox that seemed to be full of correspondence from afar, he only opened the door that had the wooden fence to continue and walk to the white door with rhombuses drawn, the wooden house painted red and bright lights placed, with windows of White color seemed to be... Neglected, the last time she came... It didn't look like that...

I ring the doorbell, and I wait... But nothing, the blue-haired Man just tried again... But nothing, until I hear a noise from inside, I put my ear to the door and try to hear better... That was a big mistake, because the door was opened at that moment and it fell to the ground...

Rise: Rusel?!...

From the ground, the Man grunted... Brown eyes looked at him worriedly, as fast as Cruz could, trying to get up... When he managed and cleaned his suit, he looked at his friend who seemed to be still in his pajamas... His long hair even it was loose, very messy...

Rusel: My God!... I'm glad you're okay...

Rise: Huh?...Of course I'm fine, did something happen?...

Rusel: What if something happened?!!!... Eclip, you haven't answered my calls and messages, well... And you haven't gone to work, you even left me abandoned on the day off we planned!...

Rise blushed in embarrassment, maybe...

Rise: S-Sorry... I should have answered your calls or texts, I didn't want you to worry like that... Also, sorry... I forgot the day off we planned...

The young man sighed, but how to tell his friend what had happened and that he had been taken by his same Chief to the Police to talk about the disastrous things that were happening to him, how to tell him that there in the Police Station they found something unpleasant, summarizing... The police should not be trusted anymore, the citizens were alone in this... He still remembers the angry look of his Chief towards the Police department... Heavens, may the Sacred Tree have mercy on each innocent Soul that is suffering for corrupt Justice...

Rusel: Yeah, yeah... It's over, but don't do that again... My heart was almost about to jump out of my mouth!...

Rise: That sounds gross!...

Rusel: Hahaha!... Well, since I know you're really fine, about your faults... The boss must be angry...

Rise: Oh... The Boss, Demon... Yeah... Speaking of which, he actually gave me a few days off, two weeks maybe... I have to come back after this next day off...

Silence, nothing was a lie, Demon gave him about two weeks off... For now, his boss said he would be busy solving something... After the bad drink with the Police and the defenders of the Law, he seemed to have a look...Too gloomy and angry...

Rusel: Oh... I see, that relieves me... If you got fired from work, I wouldn't have anyone to bother with my bear hugs...

Rise: At least your hugs don't suffocate like Dark's... By the way, have you seen her?...

Right, Dark was also missing for some reason... Even Queen Glora came with another Chauffeur or Bodyguard...

Rusel: She's just as missing as you are for two weeks, although Dark... It's Dark and I doubt that anything will happen to her, you know how she is...

Rise: I don't doubt it... Dark is a special Woman, but... Hmm... I still worry...

The one with Blue Eyes was going to say something, but his words didn't come out when he heard his cell phone ring... He quickly checked it, noticing a message from his Husband... He began to write...

****(Chat)****
****(Family Chat)****

My owner: Are you still at Eclip's house?... Is he okay?...

Rusel: Yes, I'm still here and if it's okay!... ✓

My owner: I'm glad... And don't worry about getting back to the House on time, me and Rena are going directly to Rise's House... She was also worried about him, she also brings him cake...

Rusel: Yummy!... Surely the Cake is super delicious, although not as much as you, Honey... ✓

My owner: Rusel!...

House Princess: Dad, this is the Family Chat, if you want to talk like that about how you want to taste Father, go to Private Chat... Here I am trying to maintain my innocence...

My owner: Wasn't this a private chat?!...

Rusel: Oh jesus... Chat error... ✓

****

I close the Application and look at the owner of the House with a Smile...

Rusel: Friend, I hope you don't get mad... My Husband and Daughter come to bring you a cake...

Rise: Oh... No, no... It doesn't make me mad, that's really cute...

At a slow pace, the Secretary stepped aside to let his friend into the house...

Rise: Come in, you've been outside all this time... How rude I am, also inside you can wait for Cleror and Rena to arrive...

Rusel: And the Cake...

They laughed for a moment, Rusel entered the house, too homely... Warm and with a lot of feeling, sometimes it was incredible to think that only one person lives here... I look at how his friend closed the door, the two went to room...

Rise: About Dark...

The Younger sat on the Smaller Sofa and the Older on the Medium...

Rusel: yes?

Rise: It really worries me...

Rusel: Hmmm, forget what I said at the door... Who am I kidding, Dark may be the strangest Woman on earth, the toughest and strongest... But that won't stop me from worrying too...

Rise: Rusel... Hmm, it might sound exaggerated, but... What if we go see her tomorrow in the Crystal Kingdom?... You know, the Crystal City...

Rusel: It's a good idea... But, I doubt they'll let us in... You know that hardly anyone can enter that Continent...

Rise: It's worth trying, Dark is worth it...

Rusel: You're right, so... Tomorrow, don't stand me up, I'll see you at Wood station...

Rise: Sure...
