Eyes On You

I can see you; I can hear you too. even if we are miles apart, I know what you are talking. You are near me and I was near you. You just can’t see me. but my eyes are always on you, I know you well. I know you are scared. But I want you here. I am watching your every stop and nothing will stop you from coming to me.

“Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes

Galloping hard on the plains

Chasing the redskins back to their holes

Fighting them at their own game

Murder for freedom the stab in the back

Women and children are cowards, attack

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Soldier blue in the barren wastes

Hunting and killing's a game

Raping the women and wasting the men

The only good Indians are tame

Selling them whiskey and taking their gold

Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Yeah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Run to the hills

Run for your lives

Run to the hills

Run for your lives”

Oh god dude, can you please stop this strident song, I can even sleep because of it.

Huh, shut up dude, be respectful to the song, it’s freaking good. And you just don’t admire the beauty of the world

When will you get over dad’s music collection? There are so many new artists and singers who are quite popular in the states, and are kind of good too. here ill play one for you.

No, driver gets to pick the music, and shotgun should keep their mouth shut.

You never even let me drive the car.

Ignoring him talk, reeve up the volume of the music.

How much long to auburn?

Few more hours, why?

I am hungry, let’s grab a quick bit.

There is a restaurant nearby. We’ll eat there.

Okay.

- - - - - - - - - - -

They looked around at the place it was mostly empty. Many tables were vacant and only few have people actually eating something. There was an old could, who looked like they are on a boring date, they were sipping on a bowl of runny soup made for toothless people and there were a table full of middle-aged women gossiping. Their high-pitched voice was something that can hurt your ears. They were so loud that the almost vacant hall was resonating with their voice, only thing that can be heard in that room was their gossips and the clattering of the dishes.

They were talking about their husbands or about their kinds, some were gossiping about their boss and others about their makeup. Amidst the loud voice, they found a table away from them to sit and have a peaceful dinner, but still it was not almost inaudible.

So, what do you wanna grab?

Let’s see what’s on the menu, ‘excuse me’.

Yes, how may I help you,

Can I get I chicken sandwich with no dressings?

And a double cheese burger and fries for me, with extra onions and extra spice, thank you, and two beer.

No not beer, give us two cokes.

Of course, right away handsome.

She is hitting on you, I think,

Shut up dude, let’s have some serious talk,

What do you wanna talk about?

I know you are avoiding the conversation for the whole time, but I know you looked different when you were talking to Juliane, I saw it in your eyes that I haven’t seen ever, even after you had s*x with some hot waitress or something.

There’s is nothing like that, you are thinking too much.

I don’t think I am thinking too much, I think you are hiding something from me, and we promised not to do anything like that. Did you liked her or something, you never tell anyone about our work, she was the first I’ve ever seen who knew you and your job. Those who knows our job, we don’t see them again.

Okay I liked her, but it was back then, I don’t like her anymore.

I know you are a good liar reeve, but you should know you can’t lie to me. you still like her, don’t you? Don’t like her she is married and has a kid.

I’m getting some beer; you will drive the car now. Two beers, please.

Yes sure.

Can we now talk about something else, maybe about Jody mills?

Okay, say what you want.

Here’s your burger and your sandwich, and this is your beer.

Thanks,

Sure,

What do you think about this Jody mills? So many demons are going after her. We don’t even know what she is.

We know that she is not human at least.

Anything that is not human, we kill it. So, it won’t kill anyone.

I know,

Then why are we going there, just because she asked for our help. You know we can be killed.

Or maybe this is the thing that killed our mom and dad, that we have been looking for.

But if she is that, then it can easily kill us, just like they were killed, brutally. She is dangerous for us and we are risking so much, without knowing anything about it.

I am not scared of death; I just want to know why our parents had to die. Just why it all happened. Why do we have to suffer so much because of it?

If it that, we can risk so much, we can’t just go there unprepared.

Hey, what are you doing? Who are you? A girl suddenly came up to them and sat on a chair near there.

What is your problem? We should welcome the beautiful lady.

There are so many places to sit go sit somewhere else.

This is for you. She said and gave them a piece of paper, got up from the chair and walked away.

She gave me her number; girls just can resist me.

Open it and see what that is.

380 Elm Ave, and don’t worry I won’t do anything bad to you. I just need your help, I won’t take it for free, I will help you back.

What is it her address?

Wait Jody mills? She was Jody mills. Jim ran out of the restaurant to stop her, but as he was out there was no one on the road, it was like she vanished. She was just there few seconds ago, but now she is just nowhere. He walked back inside the restaurant,

Did you find her? No, she is not there.

This is what her address.

I think it is, she said she will send her address to us later. She couldn’t share it on the phone.

If she was Jody, why can’t she just talk to us here.

Maybe because she is scared of being spotted be any demon, so she don’t stay out much long. You done eating?

Yes, let’s go then.

Okay, you go on I'll pay the bill.
