Chapter 437: He’s Here Again

Chapter 437 He’s Here Again

The two girls were clearly scared out of their wits. If they talked for too long, they might have a meltdown.

Pondering for a moment, Luke asked, “Kris, can we stay here tonight?”

Kris was confused. “Huh?”

Luke explained, “You meet him in your dreams every time, so we need to be on hand at the very least if we want to find out more about him. Also, Nancy, if it’s possible, can you keep Kris company tonight?”

The two girls hesitated.

Luke fished out his badge and placed it in front of Kris. “Here’s my badge. You can call LAPD Westside to check.”

The two girls hesitated for a moment before Kris finally nodded. “O- Okay, you can sleep here tonight.”

Luke nodded with a smile. “Thanks, but we won’t be sleeping; we’ll be observing you. You said earlier that you’ve been accidentally falling asleep pretty often in the past few days, right?”

Kris nodded blankly. “Yes.”

Luke explained, “We’ll watch over you from here. We’ll know immediately if something happens and we’ll be able to help you.”

Dazed, Kris nodded.

Luke turned his head and asked, “What about you, Nancy? Can you stay here?”

Uncertain, Nancy shook her head. “I have to call my mom first.”

Luke said, “Okay, but please don’t mention that we’re here, or the fact that we’re police officers.”

Nancy looked at him suspiciously. “Why not?”

She had been about to tell her mother that two officers had come to help them; otherwise, it would be very hard for her to stay over for the night.

Luke said, “The atmosphere in your town is too tense. We just got here today, and the sheriff already looks like he wants to drive us out. You should know that we’re not part of the police here. If our identities are revealed, the sheriff might feel that we’re stepping on his toes.”

Nancy got it and could only nod. “Then I can only try; my mother might not agree.” Luke said, “Try your best, but if you can’t, then forget it.”

Nancy: “Huh?”

She subconsciously looked at Kris. If she couldn’t persuade her mother, did that mean she could only stay at home and have nightmares?

On the other hand, Kris would have two LAPD officers on constant watch and helping her out… Wasn’t this too big a difference in treatment?!

Luke didn’t really care what Nancy thought.

He had already said what he needed to say; it was up to Nancy to decide what to do next.

It wasn’t like Luke could break into her house and hold her mother at gunpoint and make her let Nancy go!

Uneasy, Nancy left, and Luke and Selina stayed at Kris’s place.

There was no one else at her place. Kris’s mother was a flight attendant who had already flown to Europe for work.

This made things easier for Luke and Selina.

Kris was nonplussed as she watched Luke and Selina move some equipment inside. “What are you doing?”

Luke said with a smile, “We don’t know exactly what he is, but we still have to make the necessary preparations. At the very least, these surveillance devices can help us determine for sure whether it’s a person behind this or a nightmare.”

Kris didn’t know what to say.

Luke and Selina worked quickly, and in less than half an hour, everything was set up.

Looking at Kris who was sitting in a daze, Luke reminded her, “If possible, it’ll be best for you to sleep in the living room tonight. It’s bigger down here.”

Kris understood and went upstairs to grab what she needed for bed.

After she came back down, Luke pointed at the largest couch. “You can rest there for the time being. Of course, it would be best to dress a little warmer for bed.” He winked.

Kris was stumped for a moment before she couldn’t help laughing.

It was the end of April, and blistering hot and dry in California; there was no need to stay warm.

Luke was only reminding her to cover herself up with her pajamas and not make it difficult for him and Selina.

By the time everything was done, it was four in the afternoon.

Golden sunlight covered the lawn outside. The three people did their own thing in the living room, and it was very quiet in the house.

Luke suddenly frowned and patted Selina, who was looking up information next to him.

Selina raised her head and looked in the direction Luke was pointing. On the other side, Kris had fallen asleep.

In the tranquil living room, the exhausted girl fell asleep before she realized it.

Luke’s sharp ears had picked up on the way her breathing had evened out.

Luke and Seline moved soundlessly over to the napping Kris.

Observing her for a moment, Selina shook her head doubtfully.

Her action meant that she didn’t detect anything wrong.

Luke nodded slightly. He didn’t notice anything unusual, either. Kris was sleeping normally.

But his face changed in the next moment as he stared closely at the girl. Her breathing had suddenly picked up.

With his Sharp Nose, Luke detected a sudden and inordinate amount of sweat on her.

Selina had also sensed that something was wrong. She fixed her gaze on Kris as well, only to see that her forehead was already covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Kris’s lips also trembled, as if she was trying to say something, but was unable to speak.

Kris’s unusual condition quickly became even more pronounced. It wasn’t just the cold sweat and her lips, but her body trembled slightly as well. Her hand looked like she was trying to grasp something, but was unable to.

Luke gestured at Selina, who nodded to indicate that she would keep an eye on their surroundings.

Only then did Luke reach out to slowly clasp Kris’s hand. “Kris, wake up.”

Kris’s eyelids quivered, but she didn’t open her eyes.

Seeing that, Luke clutched her hand and shook her a little. “Wake up, Kris.”

Kris’s eyes sprung open and she shrieked, “Ahhh!”

Luke smiled bitterly and turned his head.

Thank god Kris didn’t have bad breath. She did spit out some saliva in her agitated state, however, and Luke dodged it.

Kris only stopped shrieking several seconds later. “S- Stay away.”

Luke grabbed both her hands firmly and said, “Hey, Kris. It’s fine. You’re awake now.”

Kris was dazed for a moment. When she finally saw Luke clearly, she suddenly lunged forward to hug him tightly. “He’s here. He’s here again.”

Luke gently stroked the back of the terrified girl. “It’s fine, we know, which is why we woke you up.”

Kris’s whole body shuddered before she abruptly burst into tears.

She cried for a good few minutes, until the front of Luke’s shirt felt completely wet. Only then did her cries die down into sobs.

Luke finally let her go and helped her sit down on the couch before passing her a tissue. “It’s alright, Kris. You’re awake now, and we’re here.”
