The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Kill or let it free

The words that Elijah said to Jerome never left Peach’s thoughts, even though the morning was now evening, and Elijah was sleeping.

Adjusting her head on his warm chest, Peach looked at him, just staring, allowing her thoughts to run wild in her head, as she listened to his heart beating, feeling his chest rise and falling, listening to his breathing.

‘What package were you talking about?’ Peach wondered as she bit her lower lip, thinking furiously.

All of a sudden, she heard his phone go off, causing Elijah to shift slightly on the bed, hugging onto her waist tightly, and burying his face deeper into her neck “Elijah, your phone,” Peach whispered, feeling reluctant to wake him and yet, also wanting an answer.

“Hmm…” He mumbled sleepily, his voice barely audible.

“Your phone…,” Peach repeated, her tone a lot louder than a few minutes ago as she tried again to shake him awake.

Finally, Elijah opened his eyes, blinking slowly for several seconds. After a few more seconds he seemed to register what Peach said, and he quickly let go of her and sat up, taking his phone off the bedside table.

“J,” Elijah said, resting his feet on the cold tiles.

“We have Mr. Meeks at the warehouse,” Jerome announced from the receiver.

A faint smile made its way to Elijah’s lips as he glanced over at Peach and then let out, “I’mon my way.”

“Okay,” Jerome’s voice flowed into his ears.

Sitting on the chair, Elijah studied the sweat dripping on his forehead, from his temples to the corners of his eyes, and down his chin. “Let me look into his eyes,” Elijah commanded in a cold, detached manner. Immediately, Jerome walked over to Meeks and undid the knot of the blindfold from his eyes, allowing him to meet Elijah’s gaze. Speechless from shock, Mr. Meeks just stared at Elijah, not really knowing how he should react, and then like awaking from a terrible nightmare, he shouted, “You!!… it is you!!!
