Chapter 18 - Aftermath

A few hours later Rabid Wolf was given a death sentence for attempted mass murder. Kenny still didn’t know what to feel. He felt good because he put away a bad person, but he also felt bad that he’s the cause of a person getting executed and perhaps it would’ve been possible to change him instead.
So Kenny now sat in his office. Jake and Sandra still couldn’t remember what exactly caused them to faint on the battlefield, but Kenny assured them that it was a fallen angel. They sort of believed him since all of the other cops were talking about the two flying creatures flying through the windows and into the skies. Karl decided not to make Kenny write a report on this since he was the hero and was still mentally down after all the fighting he had to go through. Therefore he asked Jake and Sandra to write it on Monday.
- “So Kenny, how are you feeling right now?” Sandra asked Kenny.
- “Just need to collect all my thoughts. They’re a bit scattered right now.”
- “I know what you mean. I felt the same on one of the difficult assignments that we did last year.”
- “Thanks for understanding.”
- “Hey, you doing anything this weekend? Perhaps we can go somewhere and have a chat.” She suggested.
- “Sounds good to me. What have you got in mind?”
- “Perhaps book a restaurant for two?”
- “Nice idea. Thanks. It’d be nice to have some company after all these fights around us.”
Here Jake came back into the room.
- “Hey Kenny, you won’t believe this, but I overheard chief say that he wants to promote you.”
- “Really? Well, I feel honoured. But does that mean I won’t be sharing an office with you guys anymore?”
- “Looks like that’s the case.” Jake said.
- “Oh no. Well let’s hope you’ll still be on this floor.” Sandra said.
The working part of the day ended very soon and so Kenny headed back home. Sandra said that she’ll phone him about the place and time of their meeting on the weekend and on that note he left the station.
He arrived home all tired and mentally exhausted. It was truly a long day for him. He sort of collapsed onto the nearest armchair and fell asleep really quickly.
In an hour or so Kenny got woken up and the first thing he saw was Angelika’s beautiful face. He didn’t get scared this time.
- “Long day at work?” she asked sweetly.
- “Yeah.” Kenny said while just getting his consciousness back.
- “Well in that case I won’t disturb you for long. Have a good rest. You’ll need it if the fallen comes back… and he will be back sooner or later.
- “You can stay if you want. I don’t want to sleep for the rest of the evening.” Kenny said.
- “As you wish.”
So Angelika decided to give herself a bit of rest too, because all of her free time she just goes around saving people. Now that both of them have stopped the nasty robber gang they could call it a day.
So they’ve been watching tele and playing games for the rest of the evening. Angelika left Kenny for the night and he went to sleep. She said she’ll visit him in the morning again to keep him updated on any news about the fallen.
