Chapter two: Problems after problems
Another beautiful morning, being woken up by the sunlight flashing trough my windows right into my face. Great, today's gonna be a great day.
I got up and started getting ready, putting on my casual working clothes. After I got dressed, I went downstairs to kitchen, and decided to make breakfast for both me and Azra.
Altough I have no idea what Azra usually eats, I decided to make multiple dishes, so he can choose. Better more than less, right?
I made scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit bowl, cereal with milk and multiple yogurts with cereals. As I look at all the food I made, I wondered who is gonna eat all that food. Guess I'll be having a lot on breakfast.
After cooking, I sat beside a table and waited for Azra to show up. But he didn't, no matter how much time passed. I looked at the clock, and I realized I was already late to work. 'Great, I'm gonna get killed by the whole team.' I thought to myself.
I couldn't wait any longer, so I slowly made my way upstairs to Azra's room. When I entered, I saw him still sleeping soundly. It was kind of cute, I must admit. But I couldn't just stare at him while he was sleeping, it was weird.
I came up closer to the bed and gently shook his body, to try waking him up. Fortunately, he woke up, but the unfortunate part was that he panicked when he realized I touched his body and quickly backed away as far as he could from me.
'This is going to be a difficult case, that's for sure.' I tried to come closer to him, but it only made worse, he started trembling again. Does he have some memory loss that he doesn't remember who helped him? Or does he just not trust me enough?
Whatever the reason, I stopped getting closer and stayed still. "Hey Azra. I'm Jay, do you remember me? From yesterday, I saved you." I asked, trying to sound as reassuring as possible.
But I didn't get any answer back, only a small nod after a few seconds. I figured that it's enough that he remembers me, we can talk about things later. Now I need to get him to trust me.
"I..made you breakfast. Can you walk by yourself? Or do you need any help?" I asked softly, wanting to make sure he was comfortable and didn't hurt himself.
He didn't answer me again, but he didn't give me a nod either. I just saw him standing up, his legs were trembling but he didn't fall or gave up.
I smiled, looking at how he tries even though it's hard, just like this whole shit case.
I showed him and guided him slowly towards the kitchen, looking back sometimes to make sure he didn't fall or anything like that.
When we get to the kitchen, I made sure he was sat comfortably and then I showed him all the food I got ready for him.
"This is all for you, Azra. Pick anything you'd like, and you don't need to eat it all, okay? Just eat as much as you want and can."
Again, he didn't answer, he just looked into my eyes for a few seconds, and then he slowly takes a fork and starts eating his food.
At least he was eating something, so his stomach is getting better. That's good.
But he really didn't eat as much as I was expecting. He ate half of the fruit bowl and took a small bite of pancakes.
"Is it enough for you?" I asked, making sure he wouldn't go hungry. He simply shook his head and went silently back to his room. At least I got a fast answer.
Realizing I was running out of time before my whole team will kill me, I quickly wrote Azra a note and put it in front of his door. It says:
"Hey Azra, I gotta go to work, but I won't be there for long, I promise. In the meantime, do whatever you like. Feel like you're at home, okay? What is there is yours, so enjoy. If there is anything you'd like to have, don't hesitate to call me or just tell me when I get back.
Have a nice day,
Jay"
I don't know if it's a good idea to leave him alone in my house, but I mean..what can happen right? He is a grown man, he should know how to take care of himself.
Besides, I won't be at work for too long....well, I hope I won't need to be. Let's just get this over with.
__________________ ____________________
I arrived at my work, the most busiest place in the whole planet. I got through hundreds of people towards my office, where me, Charlotte and our assistant Jack works together at solving cases.
Of course, it's not just us three, millions of people come in and out of this door everyday, which makes me really mad, but there is nothing I can do about it.
I slowly opened the door, only to see Charlotte throwing papers around and looking furious while Jack didn't give a single fuck about her and focused on his work.
'What the fuck is this again? Am I at work or circus?'
As I was asking myself in my head, suddenly I felt a sharp kick in my leg. It was by Charlotte, of course.
"Why do you always have to be so late?! Do you know how clock works?! You are late for 90 minutes!" Charlotte spit out on me, clearly in her best mood today.
I tried to ignore her, not to make her even more mad. I slowly turned to Jack then. "Jack, bring me coffee, and also all the information about the case we know."
Jack nodded at the first request, but on the second one he stayed silent for a few seconds. "Sir, I think it's not quite possible.. we didn't aquire any items, because we didn't want to go to the house without your permission. We are sorry."
I sighed in annoyance, how dare they didn't make a move. That person could easily get back to the house and leave no traces after him. Fuck. I put some important things in my bag, for the investigation of course.
"I guess I'll have to see by myself then, cya" I greeted them with a smile as I left. I'm not the best at acting, but not the worst one.
