Are you sure it's her, Mario asks me for the 10th time.
I pinch the bridge of my nose and sigh.
My patience is wearing thin with him. He thinks I'm hallucinating. All morning he has been interrogating me, doubting I saw her at all. My men searched the area I saw her, and the found nothing.
Before I get the chance to ring Mario' neck. Kyle walks in.
Took you long enough, I spat at him. Geez who took your candy? Relax bro, let Kyle the man with the plan help you out. Let papa help you, what's wrong? You can tell me.
He pinches my both my chicks, try to calm me down like a damn kid. I swat his hands away and take a deep breath.
Mario burst out laughing and Kyle joins in.
I lift both my hand up in surrender and totally flabbergasted at the kinda clowns I have for friends.
I get back to what is important, once they stopped their buffoonery.
Harvey street, we need camera footage, time stamp should be around 6 PM. We are looking for her. I hand Kyle a picture of Naviita.
oooh she is hot, damn!!! and whistles at her picture. I would like some of that.
Just get the footage, i order him.
Kyle takes his phone to make a call. He Steps out and I know he is barking orders to get that footage ASAP. The man is efficient, I can give him that.
I'm seated behind my desk, just thinking about her. My witch, I finally found her. I wasn't expecting that. I will admit after seeing Red, I was sure I wont find her.
When I was puking my guts out, I wished that I would just die.
But now everything has changed. I saw her.
Did you feel like superman, when you saw her, Mario asks. Brings me out of my thoughts.
I look up to my long time friend, he just never seizes to amaze me at how dumb he is.
Really? I question him. I dont know how superman feels, plus he is not real.
How would you know, here you exist and the world doesn't know. What if he existed and we just didn't know about it.
Mario actually looked me dead in the eyes, serious as f**k about the existence of superman.
Well if that were true, than good for him. I dont give a f**k, I shout.
All he does is laugh, mahn you are so easy to rattle, he says.
Kyle comes back in after ten minutes.
He walks up to the table and looks at me. We will get the footage within an hour.
And Mario stop pestering him, he adds warning Mario.
Glad that someone is on my side. You might hurt his feelings, he continues.
I give them both the middle finger and chase them out of my office. They both get on my damn nerves sometimes. But I know, they are just trying to sheer me up.
Mario probably told Kyle about my episode earlier. They are always looking out for me.
Something I'm grateful for.
I pour myself a drink, while we wait for the footage. Soon I'm on my third whiskey shot.
The crisp burn on my throat is soothing and gets my mind of her. Suddenly, I'm thinking about her more than I ever have.
When I saw her, I felt a bolt of electricity run through my body.
Mario was right to ask, how I felt when I saw her... It felt like a burst of energy pierced through my body.
I'm seated on a leather couch in my office, with a whiskey glass in my hand. I look at my watch.
It has been an hour and thirty minutes. Why is it taking so long to get the footage. Just as I'm about to stand up, Mario and Kyle walk in.
Kyle hands me a tablet. Footage, he states. I place my whiskey glass on the coffee table infront of me and take the tablet from Kyle. There she was on the screen, looking perfect as she smiles. She was with a some other girl, a friend I suppose.
I feel guilty, that I might take away her happiness, once I introduce myself and announce my need for her.
We need every personal details of her life now, address, place of work, friends, boyfriend etc. But dont spook her, we dont want her to run away. She will disappear forever. She is smart to be hiding in plain sight. She looks like an ordinary girl living her life in the city.
I say all this to both my friends, while looking at the footage of Naviita.
How will you introduce yourself to her without scaring the s**t out of her. I mean you are my friend but f**k, you so ugly, says Mario.
I look at Mario and raise my eyebrow at them.
What are you guys still doing here? Go! I need her profile...
Geez, you are so impatient and just grouchy.
I am gonna tell Jered, to do something about that attitude of yours young man, kyle says, while pointing his fore finger at me.
like He is scolding his teenage son
I just ignore him. I walk over to my desk, hands in my pockets, I slouch down in my chair and hit my head on the table. Dealing with those two is so much work.
I hear a knock on the door, knowing who it is, I just tell him to come in.
They mean well, is all he says. I know he is referring to my friends. I'm still faced down on the table. I know, is all I can master to say with a coarse voice.
They were in the Kitchen earlier in a state of panic at what happened earlier today with your symptoms.
How are you feeling now, asks Jered.
I'm peachy... and I saw her, I sit straight up in my chair looking directly at Jered. I see a glimpse of excitement and happiness in his eyes.
That's good, now the reall work begins, he warns in a serious tone.
I walk over to my whiskey glass and finish what's left, in one gulp.
I take two step to my right towards the console table, where I keep my bottle.
Should you? Was all Jered asked. I just chuckled at his question and continue pouring my drink.
I turn around facing Jered. Call Ana for me, tell her I'm in need of her presence here. I need to clear my mind before I visit my witch.
