And that is when they heard a loud explosion. The bed shook violently and Avera leapt straight into Hanuman's arms. She quickly looked back at him for a reaction, but Hanuman had a look of understanding on his face, like he was in on why the explosion occurred. After all that happened that day, Avera wondered if she should be concerned for her life, but before she knew it, she was flying out the door with Hanuman. They ran for what seemed like forever and stopped abruptly in the middle of a small unlit alley. Even though Avera was grateful for the breath she could catch, she felt helpless and exasperated at the same time.

"Well.." Avera considered Hanuman's look of concern. " I have no idea who you are, and there's nothing in my past experience I can use to understand what exactly is going on with us...and between us. This seems all too unreal, like am in a dream....although the appropriate word would be .. a nightmare. You did say you would keep me safe right ?"
" Yes. Always."
" In that case, please find me a safe place to sleep for now....without interruptions. Am exhausted."
" Yes, m'am!"

Newly energized, Hanuman led her to a block of stairs that opened up into a small room. It wasn't the most expansive space, but looked beautiful in the yellow fluorescent light. It had a comfortable looking bed, a matte black nightstand and a gorgeous grey arm-chair. In fact, the room looked straight out of a magazine. "You sleep here, while I rest on the chair" said Hanuman pointing to the bed. As Avera climbed into bed and snuggled under the comforter, she heard him say "The explosion we heard was the Audi R8. They blew it."

That's the last thing she heard before she felt herself falling asleep like she was gliding down a long slide.
