Chapter 170 - Gone (2/2)

”No. He left the place himself.”

”I am confused.”

”He is probably relapsing again. I am turning around to go look for him.”

”Doesn't he just... fall down?” Lena had seen Kris relapse once. That was the time he fell down in her hallway.

”That's the first thing that happens. But when he wakes up, some part of his brain turns off and his mind only focuses on anger and the intent to kill.”

Lena remembered when Kris choked her. His eyes were completely empty.

”It must be what happened the other night. He must have pushed himself too much. I'll call the others and put out the search team.” Collin explained. ”F*ck... I don't know though. We never find him anyways until he comes back himself.”

”I'll go help you find him.”

The call ended so Collin can contact the rest of the people and Kris' security team. Lena should have not left him. She put the knife back and left the penthouse. She used the speed elevator to go down to the parking lot.

It didn't take her even a minute to start the car and speed out of the parking. It was still raining outside but there were not many cars on the streets. Lena drove around the bigger streets.

'Ah damn.. where would he go?' Just then, a thought passed her mind. She once joked to Kris that if he wanted to beat people up, he should go to Shallow district, because that's the bad part of town. He should find a bad person like a drug dealer and beat his a** up so he would be cripple for a few days.

'He wouldn't go there though right?? His mind was compromised...' Lena stepped on the gas anyways and drove there. She did not like this place, it was very dangerous. A hot young lady like her would get pick up as a hooker or something worse. Her car was definitely going to attract some people too but she did not care.

She drove slowly when she reached the district. The rain was still coming very hard. The gods were angry at her for leaving her future boyfriend!

She saw one man running away, his face was fairly beaten up and his leg was crippling as he ran. Lena sped up a bit to the direction he came from. What a typical scene, a scary dark alleyway...

She could see Kris' back from her spot. He had the same clothes as the picture he sent today. Lena grabbed her phone to call Collin but it died. ”Ah, dammit.. who cares!” Lena parked her car and locked it.

She did not have an umbrella but this was not the time to be pretty. She ran into the dark alleyway.

She spotted two-man down.. or dead she does not know. And Kris was packing some punches to the third.

She was wearing her slippers but she tossed it and ran to stop Kris barefoot. ”KRIS!”

Of course, he would not hear her. She grabbed his fist as he was going to punch the man on the ground one more time.

Kris turned around to her and smack her but she ducked and landed one hard punch in his face.

'AHHHH!!' Her fist screamed. It was painful punching people in the face because of the skull. She previously punched Kris using gloves and a real punch was definitely different. Who would have thought that her first perfect full-swing punch was to the man she loved. A great story for her kids...

Kris grabbed Lena up and tossed her onto the hard cemented ground. He turned back to the breathing man on the ground, opposite of Lena.

What was she thinking? Going head-on with the devil himself? Kris landed another punch on the man's nose before Lena ducked under his arm and was standing in front of him. She clasped her hands on his face and pulled him in for a kiss.

Her much warmer lips covered his deeply frozen mouth in the drizzle of the cold night rain. She lets go of his lips for a second. ”Come back to me, please.” She spoke softly before going for another kiss.
