Mending The Broken

Part One

The next day, as Elizabeth got up from her motel bed and made her way into the bathroom to brush her teeth, she checked the time on her phone, only to see that she had received a text message from Angelo.

Meet me at South City Library in a bit?

She took a breath.

Sure. Poke you later.

Right, seeya then.

She checked the time again before she shut off her phone, walked outside, and hailed for a taxi to take her back to her hotel.

After getting a few things together, Elizabeth climbed inside of a bright yellow taxi cab and gave the driver a set of directions to get to the public library, requesting that they take the quickest route to get there. She spent her time staring out of the fingerprinted window or checking the time on her phone as the vehicle progressed to her destination.

Angelo lived quite close to the local library, so much so that he was able to leisurely walk there in a matter of fifteen minutes. When Angelo arrived at the City Public Library, he waited near the door on the steps for Elizabeth. After about thirty seconds of not seeing his current partner in crime, he began to pace out of boredom and impatience.

As they made their way through the streets of the busy and crowded city, Elizabeth became more and more nervous. She checked her phone one last time before stepping out of the parked vehicle. "Thanks," she said as she paid the cabbie and got out of the car.

Angelo was still pacing back and forth, apparently not noticing the fact that Elizabeth had arrived as well. Watching her ride as it sped away before turning to face the entrance, Elizabeth immediately noticed Angelo. Angelo didn't notice her at all. "Where the f**k is she?!" He audibly said, which gained him some weird looks from passersby.

Elizabeth made her way behind the building’s front pillars until she was in sight of Angelo and his pacing back and forth. She stayed silent, but quietly chuckled to herself as she watched his next move. He began to loudly curse in his native Italian language. “Ah, cazzo, ragazza stupida. She thinks she can ditch me? Well, avvitare quello.” She smiled as she watched him. She leaned against the concrete pillar and waited for him to notice her.

It took him about ten minutes of pacing and cursing up a dwarven sailor storm for him to realise she was there. "WHY, YOU LITTLE!-" He began.

"Shhhhh, remember, we're in a library." She grinned widely. Angelo grit his teeth and hissed before flipping her the bird.
