409 OUT OF HIS LEAGUE

“See you around,” Aaron chuckled, as he disappeared, but his golden eyes did not leave Zuri until his figure completely vanished into thin air.

Once Aaron could not be seen anymore, Zuri heard a loud cracking sound from above her, as if there was something big and heavy falling real fast.

And when Zuri lifted her head out of instinct to see what happened, she noticed the ceiling falling down onto herself, as though the whole building would collapse in the next second.

No way...

Even if they tried to escape and rush immediately to the nearest exit, they wouldn’t make it. This was too fast and too sudden.

Zuri closed her eyes, while hugging the little girl in her arms, trying to hug her, to protect her, even though that was impossible at a time like this.

She was waiting for the pain to come. She was not sure if she would come out of this alive. Even though she was a shifter, her healing ability wouldn’t be able to catch up with the injuries that she would sustain because of this.

However, after waiting for a few moments longer, the pain didn’t come. Instead, it was completely still, it was so quiet around her.

Therefore, Zuri forced herself to open her eyes, only to find out she was no longer inside the building. She was in a hangar instead. It was a little bit dark here, but she could see a plane near her.

.....

Zuri blinked her eyes a few times before she could adjust her sight in this dimly lit room and found Chaos was standing behind her while the little girl was still in her arms, but she was no longer crying. Her eyes were closed and this made Zuri jump to the worst conclusion, as she put her finger under her small nose.

Only when she felt her warm breath against her skin, could Zuri let out a sigh of relief.

She did not die...

“She is fine,” Chaos said, as if he knew what was in Zuri’s mind. “I put her to sleep.”

It was better to put the little girl to sleep rather than to let her stay awake and cry out loud. It also would help Chaos to think straight, because the little girl was too noisy...

Zuri could only sigh in relief when she heard what Chaos said, at the very least, he didn’t go crazy and did something horrible to an innocent child.

Zuri looked around her, and without doubt, they were in the hangar. And then, since the situation was already like this, what should they do next?

“What should we do now?” Zuri asked Chaos. “We can’t go to the mainland by plane.” It would take days for the government to permit the flights again, since the whole airport building had collapsed, if not months.

“We will take a ship,” Chaos said calmly, as he took the little girl into his arms, because he didn’t want her to carry something so heavy like this thing. They were not safe yet, thus it was essential to be able to move freely.

Zuri nodded.

That was the only option that they had right now.

“I think we need to move fast, if all the people here have the same thoughts as you, the ships will be fully booked in no time,” Zuri concluded.

“Hm,” Chaos mumbled and then grabbed Zuri’s hand to walk out of this hangar, while the little girl nestled in his other arm. She was fast asleep and it seemed she wouldn’t be awake, no matter how loud or noisy her surroundings were.

“What should we do with her?” Zuri asked quietly, as she glanced at the little girl. They wouldn’t be able to take her with them, that was not even an option, but they couldn’t leave her on her own in this chaotic situation either.

But, to wait until her parents came or to go and find them wasn’t even an option. It would take so much of their time, the only thing they couldn’t afford right now.

===========================

“I found her near the collapsed airport building,” Zuri said to one of the police officers, who stared at her for a moment and then cleared his throat to compose himself.

This was the first time for him to see a woman with white hair and needless to say, Zuri looked so stunning with her hazel eyes. There was something about her that was so mysterious, which made people have to take a look for a second time whenever they saw her.

“Oh, thank you, young miss, I will make sure to find her parents,” the police officer said, a little bit stuttering when Zuri smiled softly at him.

She took the little girl she didn’t even know name to the nearby police station and then told them that they found her during the commotion, thus she couldn’t give more information about this child.

“If everything is settled, I will take my leave,” Zuri said, as she stood up, but the police officer held her back.

“You have to leave your contact number, just in case there is something we need to talk to you about.” The police handed the girl to his fellow officer and then focused on Zuri right away.

“I don’t think there is anything else that I can help you with, I don’t know the little girl,” Zuri answered politely.

However, the police officer insisted on having her contact information, until Chaos approached her because she took so long.

“Is there a problem here?” Chaos asked, as he put his hand on her shoulder, which made the police officer blink his eyes. A man with long hair, as long as a woman. He had never seen a man with such long hair, but strangely, he managed to pull off the style...

This man... to put it simply... was out of his league.

“No... but, we need your contact information,” he said in an awkward tone.
