The Mystery Red Umbrella
Anna's Concern

Nick is waiting for Anna's arrival as they are having lunch together. This opportunity should not be wasted to get Anna Baker. The woman should be his, however.

Nick waited impatiently, he was already eager to see Anna. Lucia likes Anna very much, so she will also take it as an opportunity. He had no idea what Lucia was going through made him meet Anna Baker. Although his father did not like it, but it was not about.

The clock is seen non-stop, the time has shown at half an hour but why hasn't Anna arrived yet? Don't tell me if Anna forgot, she'd better call Anna instead of being so agitated.

Anna was still in the office, there were some things she had to report about the victims she found in the old castle. Not only that, he also wanted to know if Barrow came to the office or not and apparently did not.

Barrow asked permission for a few days on the grounds of illness, he did not say what pain but certainly Barrow said he wanted to rest.

Everyone thought Barrow was sick, but not Anna. He knew Barrow wasn't sick, he knew Barrow was still acting weird like last night. After this he went to Barrow's house to see how he was doing.

Anna completely forgot her promise to have lunch with Nick. A stack of files is in hand. The file was the casualty data he had found in the old castle. The captain asked him to check his data so he forgot his own promise let alone much he thought.

The file was already on the table, Anna looked towards Barrow's empty table then sighed. What really happened to Barrow? The question always came up but he did not get the answer.

Anna checks the file she just brought but she can't concentrate because of her messed up mind. His face rubbed rough, it seemed like he needed some fresh air. Anna was about to leave, she wanted to buy a cup of coffee but her intention stopped because her phone rang.

Nick's name is on, Anna sighed. He forgot his promise. Nick may have been waiting for him.

"Nick, I'm sorry I forgot" he said after answering a call from Nick.

"What's wrong? Are you busy?" ask Nick anyway.

"No, I'll be there right away" there's something he wants to make sure of, so he's taking Nick to lunch. She knew the red umbrella was following Nick, and today she hoped the red umbrella's spirit would follow Nick again because she wanted so much to meet him and talk to him.

Anna comes to Nick's office, he looks for something to make Nick wonder because Anna is not stopping to see the room. Didn't Anna see herself?

"What are you looking for? Don't you see this handsome guy here??" nick asked as he extended his hand towards Anna.

"Not so," Anna smiled and welcomed Nick's helping hand. Don't let Nick know if he wants to meet him just to find the figure of the red umbrella.

Nick pulls Anna, so Anna sits on his lap. Anna looked blushed, that was not how she wanted to be. It was too soon for them, he was in so much trouble that this was not the time to date and make out.

"Why? You look in trouble??" ask Nick.

"It's not time like this, Nick," Anna pushed Nick's chest up and was about to move but Nick actually held him back.

"What do you mean, it's not time?" Nick doesn't seem to understand.

"I'm in a lot of trouble, sorry," Anna lowered her head, even though she was with Nick but her mind was not off Barrow. Barrow said in the car, is Barrow angry because he was close to Nick Devan? Is Barrow jealous that there's an evil spirit taking advantage of it?

"What's the problem? Tell me," Nick lifted Anna's chin and looked worried.

"I'm worried about Barrow, Nick. She looked strange and now, she didn't go to work," Anna's eyes glazed over, Anna trying to hold back her tears.

"Okay, I don't know. I had to go see him to make sure he was, '" Anna said. This time he moved, Nick did not hold him back.

"I'm coming, too" Nick moved on.

"No need, Nick. I can go by myself," Anna stepped away, she was still trying to find the red umbrella but unfortunately there was none. Where did the spirit go? After meeting him the last time he did not see the spirit again. Did the evil spirit Mariana lock her up?

"No, Anna," Nick grabbed Anna's hand and hugged her from behind, "I'm coming, I'm worried something's going on with you let alone say that Barrow looks weird. Don't let Barrow do anything to you to get you hurt. But we go to eat first and then we go to Barrow's house" he said.

Anna nodded, sign agreeing. Maybe if Nick went with him he could really see the spirit of the red umbrella that just disappeared.

Nick is so happy that Anna wants to involve herself, she will try to help Anna and gain Anna's trust. Although he does not like Barrow, he will accompany Anna. Don't let anything happen to Anna because of Barrow.

They immediately left, without stopping Anna looking for the figure of the red umbrella but the spirit was really invisible even she did not feel its existence anymore. Is his ability reduced now or is his ability no longer there? No, he hoped that his abilities would not be lost at such a time.

The lunch they did first, the atmosphere was back. Anna did not see any more horrifying spirits in the dark and dirty corner of the room. Strange, he really felt strange. If his abilities were completely lost, shouldn't he be happy that they no longer exist? Isn't that what he always expected? Didn't see that horrible figure again but why wasn't he happy?

"Anna!" Nick called out to her because Anna was daydreaming with a blank look. Even the food was not touched at all,

Anna was like a daze, Nick was more astonished. Anna even rubbed her face violently, what happened to her? His mind was completely muddled, Mariana's spirit managed to mess with him.

"Are you okay?" nick asked, he seemed very worried about Anna's situation.

"I don't taste it, Nick. I want to go to Barrow's house right now, "he's really worried about Barrow.

"All right, let's go!" the food that had not been finished was left behind, they immediately went towards Barrow's house.

Anna was silent during the trip, she also did not know what to say. Anna didn't care about the surroundings, all she thought about was Barrow's situation.

The car that Nick was driving had stopped. Anna jumped down and stepped closer to Barrow's house. Anna's steps came to a halt, eyes not separated from Barrow's house that looked strange.

Drops of blood that are scattered and have dried are seen in front of the porch leading into the house. I don't know what blood is. Nick even saw it and gave a cringe of horror, the smell of something unpleasant even smelled.

"You're sure Barrow's inside, Anna?" ask Nick.

"I don't know!" Anna stepped forward, towards the door. The gun was in hand, just in case anyone attacked. Nick seems hesitant but he follows Anna's steps.

"Barrow!" Anna called but no one answered.

"Barrow!" shouted Anna again, the quiet silence she got.

Anna and Nick look at each other, Nick even asks Anna to retreat backwards. The man was ready and in the count of three, Nick kicked the door open but they were surprised by the stench that stung the flies that flew out. What's inside? Don't tell me Barrow's dead in there.
