Chapter 89 - The Pinky Promise(1)

Jessy and Ollyvia went to the kitchen to drink some water. From their backs, Chellyne was following them with a tired face. Today's mission is only to gather some information and Chellyne only need to sit and look at the screen each and every time other than typing on the keyboard.

And because of that, her body feels sore. Chellyne stretched out her hands to the front and sighed deeply. She forced herself to the kitchen because she was really thirsty. Chellyne couldn't sleep with her throat is dry.

Chellyne don't want to drink anything sweet so she just take a bottle of water from the refrigerator. She put the i-Pad in black colour in her right hand to the kitchen table. Oh My God, I'm so so tired. I really need to sleep after this. After taking a bath, I will surely go back to bed. Man, my eyes are so sleepy…

Chellyne couldn't hear what exactly what Jessy and Ollyvia was talking about because she felt so sleepy. Even when she drank the water, her eyes are closed. She could anytime fall down to the floor.

While she was trying to suppress her sleeping feeling, Chellyne also thinking about what today's mission. It turns out that being a member of Ranger Team is not that easy as she thought.

Before entering the Range Team, she would have thought about it many times about many possible things her friends and her will faced when they entered this team.

But this is just the beginning.

The real battle is yet to come.

Although Chellyne didn't use any of her energy for battling with the vampire, she still get tired because she has to use her skill and her mind to find some information. Fiuh, really tired…

After drinking the water, her throat didn't dry anymore. She then opened her eyes and turned around to the dustbin. Just when she turned around, she turned shocked to see someone standing there.

Chellyne didn't realised that there was someone standing there, so when she sees him, she was so shocked.

Because of that, the remaining water inside her mouth speedily split out from her mouth to Terence, who was standing in front of Chellyne.

Spluurrtttt….

Terence move at the same time and avoid the water. It was lucky for him to be able to avoid the water because if he didn't, his face would be the target.

Jessy and Ollyvia who realised what happened could only widened their mouth in shock.

Because of that, Chellyne suffered from coughing. She punch lightly her chest as the coughing getting louder and louder. Her face also turn from normal to reddish like tomato.

Terence quickly help her by patting lightly on her back, in the hope that she could get better. Terence start to feel guilty, it was him who caused Chellyne to become like that. He didn't do it on purpose, Terence also wasn't aware that Chellyne didn't realised his presence beside Chellyne from when he walked toward her.

"Chellyne, are you okay? Sorry, sorry.. I didn't know you would be this surprised…"

Chellyne just shook her head multiple times as she couldn't speak yet. The pain in her chest slowly reducing and also her red face. She still coughing but it was not as hard as before. Chellyne look at Terence who was still patting her back lightly.

"Why did you suddenly show up in front of me like a ghost? I was shocked, you know? Don't ever do that again!" said Chellyne.

"Okay, okay… I'm sorry. I promised won't do it again. But are you okay now?" Terence asked with his face full of concern. He feels so guilty so it was natural for him to feel concern for her. After all, it was because of him anyway.

Chellyne shake her head again and walked slowly to the dustbin. Terence just watch Chellyne as he grabbed a pink flamingo imprinting on the dark blue mug. Terence take a packet of tea and put inside the mug before he put hot water inside it. After that, he put a spoonful of sugar into the mug.

"We want to go to sleep already. We headed back to our room first. Good night," Ollyvia said while waving her hands to Chellyne and Terence.

Jessy also waving her hands and said with a grin, "Good night, fellas…"

Chellyne also waved her hand to them. "Have a good sleep, guys…"

After they left, there are only two people left in the kitchen. Chellyne take a mop and cleaned the mess she made while Terence was watching her cleaning the floor.

Terence realised there was an i-Pad on the table. "Is that yours?"

Chellyne swiftly look at Terence and the i-Pad before she continued to mopped the wet floor. "Yes. I need it for my research. It helps me a lot other than reading the books at the library."

"So, that's mean, you're not gonna go to the library again? Then, there's no one gonna come with me to the library anymore…" There was a hint of sadness in Terence's word but Chellyne know, he only said that because Terence want to teased her.

Chellyne giggled in amus.e.m.e.nt when she heard Terence's teasing. It is not Terence usual self to do this kind of teasing act so when he does it, Chellyne would feel amused about it but not to the point where she wants to laugh out loud. Not just yet…

"Terence, you know I like to read books. Of course I would go to the library with you to read more books. Besides, the calmness inside the library help me find more information with these gadgets. Don't you worry, I still want to go to the library… If you like me to go there… "

"Of course I like you there. Only you the only one who went there besides me. But… It's not like I really mean what I said before. I only tease you.. You can go wherever you want," Terence said as he drinks his tea.

Chellyne put the mop where it belongs and she walked toward the i-Pad.

"So, did you find anything with that thing?" asked Terence.

Chellyne looked at Terence and she smiled. "Of course… But I wouldn't talk about it to anyone. I'm not confident about it either."

Terence's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing Chellyne's word. He leaned over the kitchen desk, letting his waist supported by the kitchen desk. Terence put the mug beside him and he crossed his hands. "What's about it?"

"Are you sure you want to hear it??"

"If it's crazy enough.. Then, okay."

Chellyne turned on her i-Pad and showed an image of 3D ill.u.s.tration. When Terence didn't understand what he look at his face turn confused and he look at Chellyne.

Chellyne understand at Terence's confused face as she starts to explain on what she has been searching all the time. "This is a secret tunnel inside the Underground Tunnel… It's appears that the Underground Tunnel has more secret passage ways than the original maps. I only discovered five percent of the secret tunnel. There are more secret inside it than we've thought."

Terence's eyes widened a bit in amazement when he saw Chellyne's new research. It's only a few hours and she already found a new information. These little girl is really incredible. Not only she used the information in the books to help her to get information but she also used other methods to find she wants. Moreover, she find it in short of time…

"Wow, you actually find this information just a few hours after our mission? You really know what you need to do… Then, what else did you get?" asked Terence excitedly. He really excited to know more.

Chellyne swiped the screen to show Terence another information about the Underground Tunnel." I don't very sure about this… It's not my position to find these information but I can't just wait some orders without doing something… So, I found another information….

Terence come closer to Chellyne to hear her explanation and also want to get a closer look at the i-Pad screen. When they become closer, none of them realised that their distance was so close that even the air couldn't pass through them. Bht when they are so focused about the Underground Tunnel secret, did they bother to look at each other and give some distance?...

If Chellyne's friends are seeing this, they would surely freak out because from the back, they look like just a sweet couple…

"One hundred years ago… This tunnel are built by an engineer called Orthox Johendson. He built this underground tunnel for underground pipe… But this tunnel made too wide and sometimes criminal use this tunnel as a hideout. Since this tunnel map is so confusing and sometimes, the police get lost inside it, the government decided to close it…."

"...But Orthox Johendson never tear this place apart, which mean, this tunnel only gone in people's eyes but never actually gone… "

"When Orthox died, no one can take over this tunnel again because it's too scary to enter and when someone do business using this tunnel, they will suffer a big loss…"

"Because this tunnel is not under the government payments anymore.. So of course working here is useless anymore… This is why the vampire use this tunnel for their own benefits…"

Terence nodded his head slightly after hearing Chellyne explanation. "Then why some of the people here still working in the tunnel."

"I don't know… But from what I see… They who still working inside the tunnel get paid too, even though the amount is not satisfied enough. Besides this tunnel is their life… The government couldn't provide good facilities for the people… The local think that the Underground Tunnel benefits them more than the government's facilities, so they want to make sure the tunnel functioning well… "

"So, that is why there are still people who want to work there… No wonder… "

Chellyne swiftly turned her head to Terence but when she realised Terence's was inches away from her face, she slightly surprised and she moved away from Terence.
