Mate

Zeline was driving her black Mini Cooper home when she got stuck in traffic.

Bzz.Bzz.Bzz.

Her phone vibrated on the dashboard, and she give it quickly looked.

‘Techy Jerk Calling...’

Appeared on her cellphone screen.She answered the call with one swift tap and then connect it to the car speaker.

“What is it?” She asked dryly.

“Is that the proper way to greet your friend who wholeheartedly helps you?” there was annoyance in the voice of the man on the other line

Zeline automatically rolls her eyes and a giggle escape her lips. “Hello Kid! How are you doing? Have you eaten?” Zeline asked one after another then added “Satisfied?”

With a little laugh hanging on his voice. He said incredulously “I almost see your disgusted face in my head! Damn, Mate. Even your rolling eyes! Sucks!"

Laughter filled the car. They already know each other for a long time.

"By the way, where are you and what are you doing?" Kid asked from the other line.

"I'm stuck in traffic on the way home" Zeline said sparingly while driving the car slowly.

“Go home immediately and ohh buy beer huh? Your refrigerator is full of shit and buy buffalo wings and pizza too and Don't forget the hot sauce, okay? don't forget, huh? Take care love you Craven!”

Before Zeline could say a thing call was ended.

Zeline placed all her purchase on the kitchen counter and found kid coming out from the comfort room. She looked at him with annoyance.

"How do you get in?" Quick question of Zeline

Kid walk toward the kitchen with a roguish smile but when she saw Zeline's purchases it was quickly replaced by a charming one.

He took out one by one the content of the plastic and then slowly opened A plastic container and smelled it like a child.

“Good heaven! I'm even hungrier” Kid commented and placed the food in the microwave.

Zeline just watching her friend 'like a child' in her mind.

“How did you get into the house?” she asked again while leaning on the refrigerator crossing her limb in front of her.

Kid open a beer can when Zeline asks and he casually answer with "I climbed the fence then I broke the glass wall on the balcony of your room”

Zeline's eyes almost popped out."WHAT?" She quickly went to the stairs, but she heard kid's suppressed laughter from the kitchen.

“Lorenzo!” annoyed Zeline shouted from the stairs

“just kidding” kid shouted back.

He was ready to eat his meal when Zeline came back with an annoyed look and mouthed 'damn you'.

He just sheepishly smiled at her while chewing his food.

“By the way, Mate. I forgot to tell you, I already sent the picture to your email” kid said with a serious tone.

With a swift tapping on her phone Zeline saw what's he referring to.

“And I also inquired with some acquaintances about the crime and Did you know that they only said one thing” he said while looking at Zeline.

"Are you sure,Mate?" she asked Kid hesitantly.

He nodded seriously.

“Let's start with your relatives who used to visit your parents” explained the young man while playing a glass of beer in his hand.

In unexplainable cause Zeline's heart throbbed loudly. Her knuckles in hand turned white because of the tightness of it's grip on her cellphone. She's not aware that Kid was watching her state with serious and worried expression.

" There's only one relative I have here" she said.

Thinking the first time she met that relative on the funeral of her parents

"but he can't be!"
