it.”
He narrowed his eyes forming a glare on his face while folding his arms as Tan paused then continued speaking “I hope you’ll find the time to accept my apology for it’s alright with me if you don’t feel like accepting it. I believe you would be angry at me for what I did. I suspect it’ll take awhile to calm down from the anger.”
He frowned inwardly as Tan again paused then added “I have explained this to Lizette by writing to her. I made it clear that her son will not be happy with me and have some resentment towards me which I warned her will take awhile to get over.”
He kept his mouth shut as Tan looked at his Mother nodding his head and walked out of the apartment with his Mother giving off a loud Hmph which he flinched from the noise.
He stood as his Mother looked at him with anger in her eyes to sign “Tan has people’s sympathy from his losses. He has no sympathy from me due to his bad behavior towards you and I. I’m annoyed that he’s getting away with without any punishment by people’s pity.”
His Mother paused then continued to sign “I made it clear to Tan in writing that I will not sympathize him but has accepted his apology. He wrote that he understands what he did to you and I.”
Jinx unfolded his arms as his Mother included signing “Go spend the evening in your room for I’m still angry. I want to be alone for awhile.”
He obeyed going to his room leaving his door open ajar going to his bed to sit on it eyes staring at the walls ears trained for sound. He heard a door slam he recognized belonging to his Mother’s bedroom door. He got up from the bed and went to his desk next to the door. He picked up a candle, his credit card key to the apartment and his lighter which he stuffed in his jean pockets and walked out of his room gently closing the door behind him. He went going out the door locking it behind him.
He inhaled air breathing the recycled stale stinky air in the dim light shining overhead that stimulated night time.
He wandered around the series of hallways exploring the space station till he came around a hallway to froze seeing Tan escorted by an old female with white hair walking in his direction which he ducked behind the hallway to peer at them. He watched as the pair appeared to not notice him stop at a door with the female unlocking it and they both got inside door sliding shut.
He felt rage arrive within him taking control as he walked through the hallway and went to the computer console stuck in a wall asking "Show me the location of Tan Lee's apartment in the space station by the number of twelve on it."
He was given a computer readout of the location. He saw that the apartment was one of the lucky ones that had a window overlooking the space station’s treed garden park which he jogged to taking several hallways and elevators. He darted into the garden slipping pass the security guard seated in a booth by waving a hand towards the male making him sleep as he went through.
He peered at the windows and saw one as if drawn spot movement above him to see Tan pulling down shades covering the window. He stood eyes watching the window as his anger ran through him. He was rewarded when his senses cued towards the male told him he was asleep.
He pulled out the candle and the lighter lighting up the candle and putting away the lighter.
He mentally spoke “Tan, come to me.”
He repeated the order eyes on the window to see the shade pop up. He watched as Tan opened the window sliding it open to sit on the window still and jump off falling towards the ground down below him. He heard a snapping sound and watched as Tan stood up limping jerkily towards him.
He mentally spoke “Stand still, Tan.”
He kneeled closing his eyes as he ghost walked out of his body towards Tan attacking the man with his ghost form as his anger raged through him. He continued to use his martial arts on Tan till his anger stopped. He felt himself calmer ghost walked back into his body to open his eyes and he stood up.
He ordered mentally “Tan, follow me.”
He walked through the garden to the entrance and again used the sleep trick onto the security guard again and met no one on the way to the female’s apartment door.
He ordered “Tan, stand at the door and wait.”
He walked away going into the hallway and ducked behind it to peer till he was hidden.
He stared at Tan and mentally ordered “Tan, ring the doorbell.”
He watched as Tan rang the doorbell. He blew out the candle to smile of satisfaction hearing the male give out a scream of terror before collapsing onto the ground. He saw the door to the apartment open showing the female who screamed before running inside.
He quietly walked away unnoticed going to his home letting himself inside by his key. He frowned seeing the living room light on and spotted his Mother sitting in an armchair in his line of sight and saw that she could see him by her eyes looking in his direction.
He groaned softly turned and went to hallway leading to the doorway to his bedroom his process halted by her voice speaking loudly saying “Jinx.”
He heard the name of Jinx used that told him that he was in trouble instead of calling him Robert. She habitually called him Jinx whenever he was in trouble. His Mother on occasion would use the name of Robert to him for addressing him and introducing him to people omitting the Jinx' nickname. He turned around and walked to stand in front of her.
He stared at her with a blank expression in his face and eyes as she signed “Empty out your pockets.”
He obeyed showing the candle and the lighter along with his key which he heard her give off a groan sound.
He frowned inwardly wondering to himself “Does she know what I use the candle for?”
He stared at her as she continued to sign “Robert, I don’t like you walking out at night alone. I would be devastated if anything bad happened to you for you’re my only family. I don’t want to be left alone.”
He sighed as she paused then added “Please promise me you won’t take any more night walks outside alone any more.”
He stared at her as he saw pleading in her eyes.
He placed the items away in his pockets to sign “I promise, Mom.”
He frowned some more inwardly as she signed “Go to bed, Robert. It’s late and I want to go to bed.”
He nodded his head and turned leaving the living room going into his bedroom. He hearing his Mother ordered the lights in the living room off by clapping her hands three times he hearing the noises. He stood in his bedroom putting away his items from his pockets.
He grabbed his pajama pants and went into the bathroom nearby his bedroom to the washing room. He stood underneath the laser's light while scrubbing with a special smooth cloth all over him to make him clean.
Jinx wound up smiling to himself as the events of Tan being hurt flashed in his mind. He finished with the showering he called it left the bathroom clad in his pajama pants holding his clothes and shoes.
He walked into his bedroom closing the door behind him with a kick of his foot. He dropped his clothes in the laundry hamper and went to his bed lying on it.
He again smiled to himself as he thought “Serves Tan right for what he did to me and my Mother.”
He shut his eyes falling asleep after ordering the lights off verbally.
Jinx frown as the memory finished playing in his mind. He stretched his arms in front of him and adjusted his position to lie on the bed eyes staring at the ceiling. He felt sleepiness and shut his eyes falling asleep.
Jinx dreamed of himself standing on a field wearing the familiar clothes on his form. He saw was consisted of a tunic with leggings and slipper like shoes on his feet while having a hand on his waist where he recognized as a sword hanging from the belt.
He watched as himself was glaring at a male he recognized as King George both having groups of ten men surrounding them in a semi circle.
Jinx listened as himself spoke “What do you take of my peaceful terms sir?”
He heard from King George “I don’t agree with them and have rejected them. Thin
k of something else.”
He continued to watch as himself spoke sounding angry “You should have agreed.”
He heard from King George again who spoke “Agreed to what? A foolish plan to worship you as a deity by a foolish man.”
He watched as himself yanked out the sword and swung it towards King George who yanked out his sword and met himself’s sword which clanging noises were heard. He continued to watch as men all around him and King George met each other pulling swords and clanging them while appearing to try to kill each other.
He smelled something familiar hitting him frowned wondering what it was as the dream went black.
Jinx woke up with a jerk as smells of food assaulted his nose. He sat up to look at the foot of the bed in front on the dresser was a wooden tray with block stands holding bowls of food and a cup of something pink that resembled strawberry milkshake to him. He felt himself hungry got up from the bed. He went to the tray to pick it up finding the food remained seated in its nourishment holders to sit down on the bed putting it on his lap and helped himself to the food by undoing the caps of the bowl indicating some greenery and cup indicating its pinkness to eat ravenously with the fork till there was nothing left. That along with gulping down the drink finding it was his familiar strawberry milkshake drink.
He felt himself confused to why he was always given that drink. He heard nothing in response from Lance to answer his question due to his Father seemingly knowing his
