I'm Sorry

Part 1

I see that you're a bit relaxed than before, but something still troubles you." He stated the obvious.

"Don't worry doc. Everything's gonna be the way it was when your clinic is fixed. For now, just have a relaxing vacation for yourself. You deserved it."

"I can't be completely relaxed since they took something that should be classified. I might have put my friends in danger." Angela stared blankly outside the car window, watching as the building passed by. It looks like it is going to rain.

"I'm sorry to hear about your files. We will try our best to get them back if we managed to catch them."

"Then that would be too late now." The car went silent once again. She just doesn't want to talk about it anymore. This time the silence was killing her.

When the car screeched into a stop, she sighed in relief. She quickly open the door and took a step out from the car. Angela turned to look at the officer and gave him a warm smile.

"Thank you for sending me home, officer."

"Just doing my job, ma'am." He tilted his hat and returned her smile with his. Somehow he reminded her a certain cowboy with an accent that makes her smile more.

The car drove down the road until it was no longer seen. Just about time, she felt something wet dropped on her nose. She looked up to see grey clouds, soon it started to rain heavily. She quickly went towards her house, unlock all the keys that forbade her from entering, and rushed in before she was drenched.

She put the keys on a nearby drawer along with her purse. She decided to change her career clothes with more comfortable ones, so she went upstairs to her room and opened one of her drawers and took a pair of light pink sweatpants and a worn out oversized black t-shirt. The t- shirt belonged to an old friend that gave it to her, though she never wanted to throw it out even if it looked like it would be ripped easily by bare hands. Besides, it was the only thing that she had left to remember him and the memories they shared; and it is still comfortable. She slipped her cold feet into a pair of bunny slippers that she had under the bed. She occassionally wears it, and now's the time.

The heavy downpour outside really dropped down a few degrees, and she started to shiver. She took her blanket and wrapped herself to let the warmth to be kept in and went downstairs with her half-drenched clothes and put them into the laundry basket. She looked around her empty house.

"How should I enjoy myself?" She walked into the living room and saw the sofa. And a TV. Remote. Then a lightbulb came.

"I turned on the TV and let myself on the sofa until I fall asleep." Might be a sucky idea, but watching a soap opera alone isn't as fun as watching with a company, she thought.

So she started by lying down on the sofa and took the remote that rested on the cold glass coffee table. As she turned on the TV, she changed the channel until it stopped to a channel that caught her attention. Her clinic was shown behind the TV glass as a woman started to speak.

"This afternoon, there was an incident happened to one of the known clinics around the neighbourhood." Angela stared attentively at the TV as the woman in the news continues.

"Based on the police's interrogation, the owner of the clinic, Dr. Angela Ziegler told them it might be the men of an organization that had been feared by people many years ago, which is known as the Talon."

"The police believed that they had started to make a move and it looks like they were collecting information, and they managed to escape with important data. Fortunately, it wasn't the data they were looking for. The police advise the people to not wander around alone as the place is not safe for now and they are doing their best to keep the safety of the civillians."
