"No, Logan. I know nothing about you. Why don't you tell me who you are, Logan?" aku tekankan nama Logan dia tu.
"You know who I am. I'm Ted. Ted Evans." Oh, no. Please don't. You're not Ted Evans. You're Logan. My Logan.
I keep quiet. I don't know what to say. I'm all blank.
Logan calmly closes the door and locks it. He comes nearer. And nearer. His eyes, full of fear, sorrow, confusion.
"Raisya. I'm Ted. I was always Ted. I kill people, and I get the satisfaction of doing it. I'm addicted. The cops, they want me!" This is the first time I hear him shout at me. His eyes shut and I can see his fists clenching. I'm beyond scared. I know I'm dying tonight.
Then, he releases a heavy breath. Almost like a sigh, or a cry? What's with this man? I just keep quiet.
"But when I'm with you... I'm someone else. I'm Logan. I feel... normal. All the strange feelings that I've had, they're all gone." I don't know if he's beong honest or his diluted eyes is casting a spell on me.
Tengah kitorang main mata tiba-tiba ada orang ketuk pintu.
"This is the cops. Please open the door!"
Great. This is just fucking great. What else? Aku bet ada helicopter tunggu kat luar. Bagus. Memang bagus.
"Raisya, please. Look at me. I swear I'm telling the truth. You're the only one who can help me. Please, Raisya. Stay with me." Oh my goodness. Is that tears in his eyes?!
Fuck all this. Nak percaya ke mamat ni?! Dia ni pembunuh! Entah-entah lepas aku tolong nanti dia bunuh aku. Tapi, kalau aku tak tolong dia... siapa boleh tolong mamat ni? Ah, fuck it.
"Yes, officer? How can I help you?"
"Yes, ma'am. Does Ted Evans live hear?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just moved in here. I'm not familiar with the last owner of this apartment."
"Do you mind if we take a look around, ma'am?"
"Sure." Aku bukak pintu luas bagi dua orang polis ni masuk. Jantung aku macam nak terbolos daripada dada aku. Tapi aku control je muka. Mata aku ke sana sini cari Logan. Lincah jugak mamat ni. Kejap je aku bagi masa.
Dalam 2 minit lepas tu polis tu give up.
"We're very sorry for disturbing you. Thank you for your time. Good evening, ma'am."
I smiled politely.
That was so close. Aku ni dah gila ke bersubahat dengan pembunuh?! Si Logan ni aku tak faham betul lah. Macam manalah boleh terlepas kat airport. Cakap pasal dia, yang dianya mana. Tak kan lari. Sia-sia aku subahat.
"You saved me." Termengah-mengah aku tengok dia ni. Entah mana-mana je lah dia sorok.
"That depends. Are you going to save me?"
He smiled a carefree, vacationy, Logany smile. I like this version of him.
"I'd save you even it'll cost my life." Heh. I don't know what to feel since I'm hearing this from a murderer.
"So... what now?"
