Prev Chap Next Book Epilogue (UNEDITED)   The weather was warm enough to be a little hot. Now the old woman, with light-grey strands began to mix in her hair, stopped her hands as she was pruning the garden and straightened her back for a while. Perhaps because of her age, her body, which used to be unaffected even after spending hours in the garden, was creaking strangely these days. After a few pats on the waist, she suddenly looked back on the quiet side of the road. It’s the suburb of Chicago and a man was walking carelessly on the road with few people coming and going. Dark blond hair and green eyes, he had only one small backpack on his shoulder. The old woman tilted her head. It was very rare for an outsider to enter this town. Glancing around and looking all over the place, he soon found the old woman and shouted and asked. "Well, which way do I have to go to get out of this...

Prev Chap Last Chap Section 94 (UNEDITED)   The foot stepping on the car’s accelerator was a little more forceful than usual. The impulse to step on it with all his strength and the reason as a police officer clashed violently. The brown-haired detective turned the steering wheel with a confused face. Getting out of the car and entering the apartment building, Tim went up to the third floor and stood at the door. "Jude! Jude, Jude! Answer me if you're inside, Jude!" There was no sound coming from inside. He literally felt like he was going crazy. Tim paced nervously on the floor and knocked on the door a few more times. The more the door shook as if it was about to break, the more his fist tingled. -Tim, I'll get you a new partner soon, so please do your best until then. When he went to work as usual this morning, Tim, who heard what the Chief said, had no choice but to stand puzzled for a while. After a long time, when he asked w...

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 92 & 93 (UNEDITED)   It was such a busy day that it makes one’s eyes spin. Tim tapped on the keyboard with an irritated sigh. The sun outside the window was already heralding the sunset with its soft glow. The ripple effect of Joshua's episode a few days ago was enormous. The media’s fire on the incident has not been completely extinguished, and the number of children that the prostitutes have linked to their "business" is greater than expected, and the police stations have been running like they were flooded by 911 calls in the last few days. It would be less stressful to have his partner with a laid-back face at times like this. Tim looked at the empty seat with a little bit of disappointment. "At least a phone call will do..." The first thing he felt when he heard from Chief that Jude was on vacation was something like a relief - he needs to get some rest too - but as time went by, it was nee...

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 91.2 (UNEDITED)   "You were sleeping on the sofa and I had to move you since you rolled and fell off so hard. Doesn't your head hurt?" Come to think of it, he had a small bump on his head. Jude tilted his head, touching it with discontent. He doesn’t remember falling off the sofa so far, but it seemed he was a little unstable yesterday. Jude, who turned his neck aloud from side to side, soon scrambles into the bathroom. He thoughtlessly took off his clothes and went into the shower booth where the cold-to-the-bone water flowed out of the showerhead. Jude, who shuddered once, turned the faucet a little harder. It was not until quite a while before the water began to warm up. Drenched all over from his head, Jude remembered what happened yesterday and let out a short sigh.   It was clear where the events that existed like dots led to. The Waynebeck Orphanage would exist at the end of the ghastly memory he ...
