Chapter 49: He Was Puzzled

Jimmy had a special gift. He could sleep well even if the sky had collapsed, as long as it was not falling on him. He slept well and ate well. He had been chubby when he was a child. Piggy was his nickname. It was the second night in 26 years that Jimmy could not sleep. The first time was when his idol, the policeman who helped his family, died in a traffic accident. He could not accept it. He felt like he was being kept in an airtight tank and could not break out even if he broke his head. It was the time he started to feel impotent. But he was a few years younger then. After running in the football field for a dozen laps, Jimmy was exhausted and relaxed. This time he wasn't sure why he could not sleep. After talking with Kate, he kept quiet for a long time. He seemed to hear the breathing sounds of a man. They were grown up, and it was hard to guess what they were doing. He was puzzled. Did Kate have a boyfriend? Was it the big boy she protected in the bar? Or somebody else?
