Chapter 3: Meeting Again

He grabbed her hands and went into a narrow roadway nearby, hiding himself and her from the thugs whom he had a quarrel with at the bar. Gently pushing her against the wall, he gave her a "Shhss Sign". The thugs passed by without noticing them. Their eyes met. She could feel his warm breath against her cheeks. Absolute silence. Trying to break the tension between them she yelled at him ,"What was that?!"

"I'm sorry. If they had seen you, they would have bugged you as well"

"And what are you doing here? In Vegas?"

"Working on a case here. Had decided to go to a bar for drinks after a long day. Bumped into this man, and that is how the whole fight thing happened".

Silence. Again.

"Lets go now ", he said leading her out of the roadway.

While waiting for a cab, he broke the awkwardness between them and said, "That fight kick at the bar you did was kinda cool"

Smiling she thanked him." You have gotten better"

" I was always good", she responded with full confidence. He shyly giggled.

A cab stopped right in front of the 2. He opened the gate for her, as she went inside. About to close the door, she interrupted, after finally clearing her feelings on encountering Kyle, saying," It was nice meeting you after a long time". He closed the door leaning inside through the window he reassured," It was nice meeting you too. Will we meet again?"

"Ofcourse". The cab left.
