Legal (Pt 16)

We packed so little things. Fewer than i usually bring when i go backpacking. There's this little tinglings in my stomach that i can't explain what it is. You know that feeling when you're going to do something bad? It's not that kind of feeling. This is absolutely different.

I'm helping a murderer escape. It's very wrong, very illegal. But it feels right.

"Ready?" Logan asks.

"I don't think i have a choice."

He kept quiet.

We get out of the cab and head into the airport. We went seperately like we planned. I act as normal as i can in front of the officers, the workers and everybody around me. I feel so bad for helping this murderer escape.

Finally and surprisingly, everything went smoothly. I can't believe this though. Ted Evans is out of the building, ladies and gentlemen.

"You okay?" Logan takes a seat beside me because no one was sitting there.

"Yeah."

We talk but not for long. It feels different talking with him after i know the truth. How can i go through this? Have a life? With a serial killer? Just... how?!

If it's too hard for me, why did i agreed in the first place? Maybe because of what we did in Penang for the first time made me believe that he's a nice guy. I still can't believe he's a murderer.

"Logan?"

"Yes?"

"Why me?"

He doesn't answer.

"I put a lot of trust in you, you know?"

He nods. And i didn't say a thing.

"I don't know what I'm feeling. But i like this feeling. I feel calm. Relaxed. I'm not anxious. I feel... I'm..."

He stops, looks at me and continues, "in love."

Great. He's confessing now. Just great timing. Ugh.

I do not reply. I lay my head backward and closed my eyes. And hope everything's going to be fine.

We arrived in Penang.

Ahhhhh... the memories.

"I'm beginning to like this place," says Logan with his shining ocean blue eyes. I smiled.

"I was longing for that smile," he adds.

"Really?"

"Of course."

"So... what do we do now?"

We both had no idea what to start with. But what do we know is that Logan had escaped from the police. And we're going to start a new life here. Even though I'm not fully putting my trust on him, but deep down, i know I'm in love too.
