Fan Fiction |

Recap: Gallen ran off halfway during Flora's birthday party and made the whole gang of them extremely worried. He later fainted on the street and was brought to the hospital, where he happened to meet Jessica, who got to know about his medical condition from his doctor. While helping Gallen to handle the hospital procedures, Gallen made a slip...
[In case you all forgotten (oh well actually I did forgot some of the details too) Gallen and Moses are fellow cops and good buddies, Ada (also a cop) and Flora (a psychologist) joined their station at the start of the story, Francis (a pilot) and Frankie are 'big brothers' of Ada's and Flora's, and Kenix/Ivy is Gallen's long lost-and-found ex-girlfriend, also Frankie's fiancee; Steven is Myolie's brother, and Myolie is a new junior cop under Gallen's team]
Okie, here it goes...
-------
Ada accompanied Flora to the hospital when Jessica gave them a call, informing them about Gallen’s whereabouts. Francis and Moses gave them a drive upon hearing the news.
Ada: (demanded) Moses! You must know something about this! Why are you keeping it from us? Don’t you know we’ll be worried? Especially Flora!
Moses: (ran out of patience) Ada! What must I say to convince you that I’ll completely unaware of this myself? And stop shouting, you’re disturbing Francis’ driving!
Ada: How can I believe that you know absolutely nothing about it? You stay together with him and you’re his buddy!
Moses: Perhaps you can call me unobservant, but I really see nothing wrong!
Ada: Even until now?
Flora: (sticking in) Ada, it’s not his fault, don’t blame him…
Moses: (relieved) I’m glad at least you’re more sensible, Flora.
Francis: But Moses, I think I see a point with Ada. You live with him so you should be able to least catch some of his weird behaviors!
Ada: Precisely!
Moses: (tries to recall) I don't know if it’s called weird, but he’s been sitting himself before the computer for long hours these days…
Ada: Why?
Moses: I asked him that and he said he was just trying to reply to some emails or so…
Ada: Hmm… that doesn’t sound too weird, anything else?
Moses: (shrugs) Nothing else I guess, he’s been rather quiet so I don’t see anything wrong!

[Hospital]
Jessica: I’m really sorry, Flora! I should have kept an eye for him, but I didn’t expect him to slip off while I was getting the drink for him. His identification card is still with me; god knows where he’s gone!
Flora: (worriedly) Where could he have gone to? I really have no idea what he’s up to, he’s driving me crazy!
Jessica: Flora, I guess I ought to let you know this… I spoke with his doctor, and he’s diagnosed with GAD, a type of anxiety disorder.
Flora: (looks to Francis) Why didn’t he tell me about this?
Francis: (innocently) I guess he didn’t want to worry you…
Flora: (insistent) But he should share it with me instead of facing it himself… he’s driving himself into a corner! (to Jessica) Is he receiving treatment?
Jessica: I guess the doctor prescribed him some drugs…
Ada: (shook her head) That explains for his bizarre actions lately, but it’s strange… how did he ever get this anxiety disorder thingy?
Flora: (thinking) No… but what explains for his trembling of hands?
Moses: Hmm… side effects of the drugs?
Flora: No, antidepressant drugs like the SSRIs don’t elicit this kind of symptoms! Can I speak to his psychiatrist?
Jessica: I’ll take you to his doctor, Dr. Koo!
Flora: (to the others) Can you guys help me find Gallen? I’m really worried!
Francis: We’ll do that without you saying that!
Moses: (fetches his mobile phone) Let me apply for leave first!
Ada: Oh, me too!
Flora flashes a relieved and appreciative smile to her friends. Sometimes it’s just glad to know there’s someone there when you need them most.

On the other hand, Gallen finds his way to Kenix’s apartment. Kenix was putting her key into the keyhole and opening the door when a hand appeared on top of hers. She was startled and wheeled around.
Kenix: (alarmed) Gallen? Oh my god you scared me! (relieved) you looking for me?
Gallen: Uh huh… is it convenient for us to talk?
Kenix: Hmm I think so, (opens the door) Come on in, take a seat!
Gallen: Thanks. (went in and closes the door) I really need to talk to you, I really need to see you…
Kenix: (passing him a drink) Eh… don’t mind me saying this… but you’re sounding a bit weird here…
Gallen: (dragging his fingers through his messy hair) I don't know… I feel so helpless… I feel so lost…
Kenix: (worried) What happened to you, Gallen?
Gallen: I don't know… it just happened after I see you again… after so many years…
Kenix: (wary) I don’t quite get your meaning…
Gallen: (staring at her) I just feel like I NEED to see you!
Kenix: Don’t talk like this, Gallen! I thought we’ve made everything clear the last time we met?
Gallen: I know, but certain things just couldn’t be put off my mind… (moves closer) Kenix, I…
Kenix: (moves away) Gallen,… eh… Frankie would be back soon…
Gallen: Let’s don’t talk about him… let’s talk about us, okay?
Kenix: (hesitates) I don’t think there’s anything for us to talk about… I really don’t remember our past!
Gallen: Ever since I saw you again, our past keep haunting me… I can’t sleep well and eat well… and the doctor even said I have anxiety disorder…
Kenix: (intimidated) Then I think you should go seek treatment as soon as possible, Gallen… I’m worried…
Gallen: You’re worried about me?
Kenix: Yes… (picks up the phone) perhaps I should call Flora and let her take a look at you…
Gallen: (shoving the receiver away) No! Don’t call her! I don’t want to see her! No! No!
Kenix was evidently frightened by Gallen’s unusual and potentially threatening actions. She moves to the corner of the sofa and tried to slip her hand into her back pocket in search of her mobile phone. Gallen tried to calm himself down and fell to the ground, both hands supporting his head by his temples, breathing hard.
Gallen: (without looking at her) I’m sorry if I have frightened you, but I really don’t want to see Flora again… it only makes me feel worse..
Kenix: (tries to soothe him down) Okay okay, I won’t mention her again, calm down Gallen… don’t get so upset…
Gallen: Thanks… (looks up at her) What are you hiding? Why is one of your hands behind your back?
Kenix: (nervous) Eh.. nothing… (draws her hand out) eh… my back is a bit itchy…
Gallen lets out a faint smile and gets himself up, moving towards Kenix again…
Gallen: Kenix, do you know…
Kenix: (stressed up) What do you want?
Gallen: (smiles) I…

Flora just came out from Dr. Koo’s office and immediately tried to reach Ada and the others…
Flora: Ada, have you guys found him?
[Ada: Nope, we’re exploring his favorite haunts… but no luck so far!]
Flora: (releases a heavy sigh) Ada, I just talked to his doctor, I guess his condition is not that simple…
[Ada: What did the doctor say? (Flora keeps quiet) you’re scaring me, Flo!]
Flora: Anyway, I think I could guess where he’s now, could you guys meet me over there?
[Ada: Okay, where?]
Flora: Frankie’s place!
