Legal (Pt 15)

"You're crazy." I conclude. Logan is totally out of his mind. Well, he's always out of his mind I assume. But, this... this is crazy to the next level.

"It's going to work. I promise." he holds my hand and stares through my soul. Seriously, what do I expect from a murderer's promise? Really, Rae? Come on. 

"What if we get caught?"

"We won't. Just pretend like we're in a movie." 

"But we're not in the movies, Log... Ted." Okay, now it's getting awkward. Nak panggil Logan ke Ted? Nak panggil Logan tapi nama dia Ted. Nak panggil dia Ted tapi Ted pembunuh. 

"Uhm. Okay, I know this is going to work. Believe me. Let me clear things up again. We go buy a ticket for each of us. But we pretend we don't know each other. Just in case I get caught so you don't have to be involved. We'll meet at the airport after arriving. And let's just live there for the rest of our life."

Apparently my mouth can't cooperate with my brain. There's too many questions but I just can't talk right now. 

"But, where are we going?" Finally I can talk. 

"Where do you want to go?" Oh, his relaxed blue eyes. I'd die for that stare. I suddenly wondered what did he do to get his victims to follow him and then kill them. Oh, the chills. The thought of Logan... I mean Ted, killing people is just beyond my imagination. He's so kind, so sweet. How is he a dangerous murderer?

"... Paris is a great place too. I mean, if you like, we can go live there. I lived there for about four months. It's cool. But I can't speak French. Or maybe we can go to Canada. Canada is a great place right? The people, the weather. We can go watch hockeys on the weekends..." 

I got lost when he starts babbling about places. 

Where exactly I want to live with this man? A new place? A new life? But where? How can I live in a new place where I've never been before? Or... maybe I know where.

"I think I know where we should go spend our life." Aku tiba-tiba mencelah bila dia dah membebel sampai negara German. 

"Oh, where?"

"Penang."

I wait. There's that unsure look from his eyes. But suddenly his brows relaxes and I see a hint of smile from his to-die-for lips. 

"That'd be a great start. Or maybe not a start. Let's finish what we've started." 

That smile again.
