Is it okay to be late?

Shit, I was late again. The prison is pretty far away from my house. Also, you have to get through the big traffic to get there. So, I had to take at least one hour in hand to reach at 9 o clock. It's been a month but I just couldn't guess the perfect time. The uncertainties kept happening around me making me busy. Ah! (sigh) giving a long long sigh I got down from the car you guessed it, I brought a big new shiny car with my hard-worked money. All the sweat I gave doing this inhumane work finally paid off. I was able to buy a car with my own money. I'm gonna treasure it forever. As I went down from the I remembered the files Mr. Lukas asked me to bring. To my fortunate, I already got them from his house yesterday so it became easy for me. Picking the files I got out of my beloved car and locked it accordingly. Among all cars present in the parking lot, my one looked fantastic. I knew that when I chose the color blue. The sky was a bit cloudy but one could see the light rays coming out from the sun. I went into the prison and kept my composed look. Those guards never change. They have the same old cold-hearted looks on their face. I totally avoid them not understanding their emotions. As I reached the entrance of the torture cell, I could see a familiar figure. He was standing a bit worriedly. His arms were attached to his hoops. The moment he noticed me he began saying, "you ring what I asked?" I handled the files showing that I indeed fulfilled his order. Mr. Lukas then took hold of the file and checked it for the final time to ensure everything is intact. "Let's held inside." Saying that Mr. Lukas swiped the key card to unlock the cell. A gust is smoke blows every time it opens. It's a fully mechanical door. Not to mention the high-tech things that used making it. As we entered the door closed automatically. We could visual a figure out of the smoke that surrounded him. Stepping forward Mr. Lukas put the file near the table that had buts of blood on it. Probably because the guards forgot to wipe it off. Wait, I heard Ms. Clara was out of town currently and she was the only one who possesses the key other than Mr. Lukas. Perhaps, due to that reason, the guards couldn't entire the room. Although the entire cell was not that dirty although, in common eyes, it's very. Mr. Lukas headed towards Jodan who was unconscious right now. I could see the sicking def of him. Dark circles, skeleton-like body, it's an eye sour. He was in much worse shape than yesterday. Like I said Mr. Lukas held his head and looked right and left aggressively, trying to see if he's still alive. "You're not dead." Saying that Mr. Lukas took the bucket that was on his right and threw the water at him violently. Jodan got his consciousness back within a minute or so. Although he was quiet a moment, he became much nosy the other minute. That's a great transformation.

"Ah! Eh!" He shirked but no one didn't pay any attention. I was standing a bit far away as always. However, Mr. Lukas was closer to him as an unwavering warrior. Jodan kept blabbing.

"Wake up, Mr. Humanist. Did you forget your humanity fight?" Mr. Lukas was teasing him while distancing himself. Jodan finally opened his eyes wide and glazed at both of us.

"I see, you haven't forgotten about it." Mr. Lukas said nonchalantly. He flipped through the pages of the diary and stopped at one. Then glazing at Jodan he continued, "You killed the one you loved, right? What was her name?" Mr. Lukas exchanged glances with me. "What was her name again, Reyes?" I was a bit flustered by the sudden calling. "J-Jessica, I guess."

"Right Jessica. Well, Jodan let me tell you a secret that no one in this world knew to expect the higher-ups, that includes me."Jodan wasn't a bit interested, he kept his downcasted eyes with a depressed self. However, Mr. Lukas didn't pay to his condition rather he continued with a wide grin. He got close to him with the file. "The girl you loved wasn't just a common girl. She was one of us, related to the police department." Jodan spoke with his expression.

"I know that she told me that she wants to be a police officer. That's her dream is...no, was…" It seemed as if he mistook Jessica as an alive person.

"Did you know that she was already a secret agent, the moment you met her?" For the first time, Jodan looked straight at Mr. Lukas. Mr. Lukas became more excited as he got his full attention. "What's more is that she was sent to that location to do an undercover mission. The mission was to gather Intel about the monster. I assume you didn't know that." With a sneering look, Mr. Lukas said. "Oh, you got tangled in her lies. So unfortunate. She was just fooling around you, Jodan." Jodan was engaging with intense rage. It was building up slowly and we could feel it. For a monster rage is not something they could feel but how was Jodan.

"You don't believe me?" Mr. Lukas took a photo from the file and held it right in front of Jodan. Until a moment ago Jodan was filling himself with rage towards Mr. Lukas but when Mr. Lukas held the photo in front of him, he stopped at once.

The photo was a passport size picture of Jessica wearing her uniform. The uniform was given by the department. Most probably she took the photo at the end of her intern. Jodan was sobbing sorrowfully. I couldn't see him as a monster at that time. It felt very much human to me.
