Rex sat outside, a lot was running through his mind, he could spot people moving around their houses trying to put things in order. A wild breeze which seemed like an hurricane destroyed tress, roofs of buildings. He decided to move around his house, packing some litters which the breeze brought from distant places. A look of disappointment was seen all over his face, his favourite tree was off it's root. He planted the tree about nine months ago....and made it a point of duty to water it every morning. He was dumbfounded for a while, he wished he could roll back the time and stop the hurricane but the damage has been done. "Good morning Rex" a tall slim-shaddy lady said He looked up reluctantly to see who was greeting him, it was his neighbor, this was like their first conversation in months, she packed in about six months ago, yet they don't know each other's name. "Morning" Rex replied " I have been watching you lately, you seem unhappy......what's up with you?" She replied "It's none of your business, you barely even know my name" Rex said rudely....he wasn't conscious of the manner at which he spoke, all he could think of was how to get a new flower to replace the former. "Sorry.....I just thought you needed someone to talk to" she said in a low tone, "Obviously I don't" Rex said, he picked up the dead plant, dashed into his apartment without even saying bye "Bye, can I at least know your name" she asked hoping Rex would hear her......he didn't , he shut his door almost immediately..... He needed to think, what was the next step ahead, if my memory serves right, the next challenge was how to bypass the cameras. He sat on a wooden chair, that was his favorite spot, ideas seems to rush in like an ocean whenever he sat down there. After thinking for a while, it was close to noon already...he decided to grab a cup of coffee at the restaurant just a stone throw from his apartment. He highlighted from his Volkswagen beetle, locked the doors and headed into the restaurant The restaurant is a fascinating one, it was probably one of the centre of attraction in that city, it is painted green with lines of yellow.....it has a great decor and ambiance and offers a luxurious dinning experience. The dress code of patrons are professional which complement the cuisine. "Can I get some coffee" Rex asked the waiter "Yeah....How many" " You face seems familiar" The waiter said " Probably you're mistaking, people tends to look alike around here" Rex answered hurriedly, "You bought sodium gas from me last night........ remember?" The waiter said while preparing the coffee, Rex was surprised, it seemed like he stepped into the wrong restaurant... "This wasn't the restaurant I bought it from, or am I missing something?" "No....not at all.....I work for three restaurants....I work on shifts" The waiter said handing over the coffee to Rex "Amazing taste, have a good one guy" stretching his hand for a handshake, Rex thought of spending some hours at the restaurant, probably some ideas would bump into his head this time....While seating and sipping his coffee, an American football match showing live on the plasma tv caught his attention, he seemed to have forgotten why he decided to wait at the restaurant. The match was between Chicago bears and New York Giants.....Chicago bears was his favorite team, he fell in love with the club since his tender age. He had visited the Soldier field countless number of times before the tragic incident which led to his parents death. Simultaneously, Anabella the head of the crew was at the top of a building directly opposite the Sterling Crystal bank synthesizing the environment. Sterling Crystal bank organises a promo anually where they show American football matches live at a mini park beside the bank. Anabella was looking abruptly at every nook and cranny with a can of drink on her hand. Her attention diverted to the direction of the cameras and she noticed a flaw in their camera system, during the sixty minutes of play, the entire cameras are diverted towards the mini park. That was a huge sign of relief This is a time precised operation she thought.... Rex level of concentration was high, he didn't notice that Laucey was right behind him, she had been standing there for a while, she had his location on her phone, it was quite easy to track him down. He sensed a tap on his back, he ignored it at first but decided to turn back on a second thought. "Wow....have a sit" "how long have you been there"Rex said while sending a signal to The waiter for two more coffees, "A minute or two I guess" Laucey said jokingly Rex noticed some suspicious movement from her and sensed she was flirting with him, after a long chat, Rex noticed he had taken more cups of coffee than usual.....(he had taken six cups in total) This was against the doctors recommendation, prior to the fact that he was suffering from diabetes. He dipped his hand into his pocket, brought out his wallet and payed for the drinks. He decided to drop off Laucey in her house which was a few kilometers away after which he returned home .
