NIGHT OF DARK SHOW

" Mary, sister should go now. Is it okay you go home alone ? Or you wait for Nolle to come home together. "

" No, brother, I go home alone. I'm an adult" said Maria with a sweet smile.

Lucas was only able to sigh of understanding, but even though he said to go home alone in fact Lucas had contacted some of his men to keep watch around Maria.

Tonight they plan to watch the Opera show where Nolle joins, but suddenly Lucas gets a call for his job.

" Be careful, sister !" maria exclaimed as she looked at Lucas who started walking away.

Lucas waved his hand while smiling from a distance.

Not long after Lucas left, the curtains on the stage opened. Featuring a row of orchestra members sitting with their own musical instruments, there Maria saw Nolle sitting on a chair holding a violin.

" Sister Nolle." cried Mary with waving hands.

On the stage Nolle smiled slightly, but then her brows furrowed as she did not see the appearance of her eldest brother. There was only Mary sitting by herself, with an empty chair beside her.

Although a little sad at first, but all that is lost when he saw the cheerful smile of his sister. Nolle thought, maybe her brother is having a sudden business.

The sounds of musical instruments played in sequence, so syahdu and harmony. The orchestral performance was so overwhelming to the audience. Until the show was over, people applauded.

" Thank God Nolle looks good, I hope it will be so on. " said Maria moved when she saw her brother smiling so widely.

***

The street was quite quiet as Maria's feet stepped home, the girl humming a little to fill the silence.

" Gosh !" maria's cry was surprised to make her fall.

" Please." cried Mary in a voice trembling with fear.

Who is not afraid, when you are on the way home there is a pile of corpses that block your path.

Maria was still trembling when the place started to be visited by detectives and armed agents, he sat not far from the site after one of the agents asked him to testify to the discovery of the body.

Faintly from a distance Maria can hear what the detectives are arguing about, speculating that it is a gang murder and a crime syndicate organization.

" Sorry lady, you have to have a hard day like this. But you don't have to worry, things like this don't happen twice, so you don't have to think about it too much. The rest we'll take care of. Thanks for the cooperation, " said one of the detective agents.

Maria just nodded weakly, she wanted to hurry home and sleep. But..

" Sister ! " squealed Mary as she entered the house.

His eyes glared in shock and dismay, and Lucas was surprised to see Maria in the doorway.

With a hasty step, Maria approached Lucas and pulled up a chair nearby.

" What happened ?" he said with a stifled voice holding back the cry.

Lucas felt guilty. He did not know if the mission this time was really difficult, he ended up injured and made his sister cry anxiously.

Lucas answered nothing, only the sound of Mary's stuffing could be heard in the silence that night. Despite the trembling fingers, the girl tried to bandage the wounds on Lucas' shoulders and arms carefully.

" Sister, can't you stop ? " ask Mary suddenly.

Lucas stared in disbelief at Maria, all this time he was sure if everything went as neatly, as clean and quiet as possible.

" Why ? " said Lucas inquired in a whispering voice and too quietly.
