Episode 26
Riley's phone rang as she couldn't help but sigh annoyed
Is she really destined not to watch her movie peacefully this night
She glanced at the phone as she reluctantly connected the call
"Hello"
"Riley is me Joel" Joel voice sounded from the other side
Riley noticed the depression in Joel's voice but decided not ask about it
"Can you come out?" Joel's voice sounded as Riley frowned but still nodded
" Where are you" Riley asked him as Joel said the address
After she hung up
She stood up and took a windbreaker that was hung at the door
Holding it she left the house
She returned few seconds later
"Lisa am out, I will be back soon" She yelled towards the house
Lisa stood at the window as he watched her leave
She stood there without moving as no one knew what she was thinking about
After sometime she moved away from the window as she went back to her cloakroom
Changing her dress to an all black
She opened a box and looked at it
Then put the content of the box into her pants pockets
She turned and left the house directly
Still leaving the lights on
Riley got to the bar
She looked around and saw Joel sitting at a side like an abandoned child
She looked at him did sometime before she walked towards him
Sitting down opposite him, she took the bottle of beer from his hand and poured some into the class in front of her
Returning it to him, she picked the the glass cup and drank the beer down
But she changed the face in the process
No matter how many times she drinks this, she just can't get used it it
She raised her head and looked at Joel to see him staring intently at her
"I hope you are not drunk, am not planning to send anyone home" Riley said but Joel just stared at her without saying a word
As they both fell into silence
"Beautiful sister, do you know me" He finally opened his mouth
Riley couldn't help but hold her forehead
She is really unlucky
"Beautiful sister, I like you" Joel said as Riley suddenly fell into silence
She could only watch Joel blabbering
"Beautiful sister why don't we date
Sister who is your ideal type
Sister I like you very much why don't you date me"
Riley listened to him but said nothing
She only felt that he was cute
She poured another drink into her cup as she brought it to her mouth
But Joel suddenly changed his style of painting
" When I was little I was happy when I found out that I had a Father
Because I was happy, my Mom had to endure what that devil did to her
I didn't know what my Mom went through, People mocked my mother for being a third party
But it wasn't really her fault, infact it was not my mother's fault at all" Joel paused as he cleaned the tears in his eye
Riley said nothing but she couldn't help feeling pity for him
"My Mom was raped by him which resulted to my birth, but still he abused her, My Mom endured all this and always showed me her brightest smile
But when I discovered the truth Mom was already dead, they all said it was a sucide but I knew that my Mom would never take sucide as a choice
Because she was worried about me, she has never thought of leaving me" He said as Riley wiped the tears that fell off
She could only two his back gently
" She could accept even the worst just for me, I feel horrible and I can't forgive myself when I realized that I am one of the reason she was tortured
If I never accepted that father and lived a peaceful life with Mom then all this wouldn't have happened"
"Do you know my wish?" He asked as Riley shaked her head indicating that she didn't know
"My wish is that the mysterious killer, who kills only those that did something wrong will find out about my father and kill him" Joel says as Riley froze
She didn't expect him to have such a wish
But now I want to torture him the way he tortured my mother and let him die in pain" Joel said as he bent his head on the table
"Joel!" Riley called out but he didn't answer
"Joel!!" Riley called out again
She scratched her head frustrated
"Wake up you can't sleep now, I can't carry you out"
Seeing that he didn't plan to wake up
She could pick her phone and call Liam
" Hello can you come over, Joel is drunk and he has fallen asleep" She said
After the other party replied she hung up and sat down again
She looked at Joel's sleeping face
And suddenly felt jealous
Even she as a girl doesn't have such long eyelashes
She is really jealous
But her hand couldn't help touching the eyelashes
For about Half an hour
Liam came into the bar
He saw Riley sitting next to Joel
"Miss Riley sorry for the trouble" He said
Riley waved her hand
"No trouble at all" She said as she picked up her phone
And made to leave but was stopped by Liam
"Miss Riley can I ask about Lisa" Liam said as Riley stopped
"I guess she is still not in the mood to talk to anyone, because after she entered her bedroom she never came ..." Riley paused as she thought of something
Her eyes widened in horror
Liam looked at her
"Miss Riley what's the matter" Liam asked
"How did I not think of it" Riley said as her eyes turned from horror to panic
Her phone rang
She glanced at Liam first before looking at the phone
Seeing that it was Lisa she could only pick the call
"Hello" She said as she moved a little bit away from Liam
"Two are dead" Lisa's voice sounded
What!!!!" Riley yelled
Totally forgetting about Liam in left the bar in a hurry
