Inside the Bank……
So, have you found her yet? Asked Mr. Soloman? A tall man with a scar on his left hand and a raspy voice said: No sir, it's like she disappeared into thin air. Mr. Soloman smacked his fist on the table and said: Drefan, I don't care how you do it, but find her now. Drefan responded: Okay, okay, I will be patient. Little girls will always return home one way or another. All of a sudden the door opens and a young man's voice says: I found her or I think I did. I saw her at the shopping center in the town over. Mr Soloman jumped up with a pounce from his chair and said: Are you sure it was her? The young man said: It looked exactly like her. The only thing is, the man she was with didnt call her Noel, it was a different name. I would've caught on to her but I got stopped by the police for speeding. Son. you are paying for speeding that ticket yourself for letting her get away. Now, did you recognize the man she was with? Mr. Soloman said. Ernesh responded: No father , but I will find her and she will be mine.
Back at the house…
I heard a knock on my door. I asked: Who is it? But no one answered. Hmmm. I opened the door slowly and walked out. I looked around but there was nobody around. I closed the door and when I turned around I let out a shriek.Eeek, oh my God you are going to scare me to death. Iah was standing in front of me with a half grin. He said: good morning to you too. I answered: what's so good about it? Did you forget what happened yesterday and the day before? My life is history and you want to go around scaring the lights out of me. He replied; I'm so sorry Noel. I didn't mean to. I just came in through the side door, I thought you saw me. No, I didn't know, what do you want? He replied: Mother was wondering if you wanted to eat breakfast with her in the garden or do you want to stay in bed? I answered; I'll go to the garden, just let her know i'll be right there, thank you. I threw him out of the room and started to get ready for breakfast.
Good morning, I said to everyone passing by to go out to the garden. They all said in unison: Good morning. I walked out and saw Iah’s mother and she smiled big at me. I am wondering what is brewing in her mind. I sat at the table and said: Good morning Mrs.Lucia. She said: Now what is it with formalities, you are like family now so call me mother or Lucia. I said okay with my head down and my face turning red. She then said; Sorry dear, just call me Lucia. I nodded and started drinking my tea. She said: I have something for you. I looked up and said: what is it? She then reached by her foot and gave me my bag back. I jumped up and grabbed it and hugged it. How? Where did you find it? She then said: We sent the boys last night to snoop around your house and they found it where you left it by the tree. They also rummaged a bit through the house and found a picture of you and your family, it's inside your bag. I couldn't contain my tears and kept thanking her for it. I was so happy. All of a sudden all the secret service came out and Iah and his father were right next to us. What happened? I asked. Are you ladies okay? One of the men asked. Yes, why? I asked. Well we heard screaming and we wanted to make sure nothing happened. Oh i am so sorry, i screamed because i was excited i got my bag back. By the way, thank you guys for getting it for me. I don't know how to repay you. One of the guys said; Please don't scream again unless it's necessary. Everyone started laughing and said: I promise.
Iah and one of the men asked me to follow them inside. They wanted to ask me some questions and help me get my money out of the bank and erase my name from the bank system. I agreed gladly and said: is it really possible to do that? The man said : Yes. I will need your bank account and your pin and we will transfer your money to a bank here where no one will know where you are or doing. I asked him; will you be using my real name at the bank here since nobody knows me here? Iah then answered: No, you are all over the news and someone can call the police or FBI. We are not taking any chances, as of yesterday you are in the witness protection program. I took a deep breath and said okay. I hope it's not for long, I'm starting to miss my name. I was staring at Iah for a minute, I was starting to say something and he said: Go ahead and ask.
I was wondering if I could do something to keep myself busy, to earn some money to pay you guys back for your help and so I can get whatever I need?
Iah looked at me with his eyebrows raised and a hand under his chin. He then spoke and said: Let me talk to mother and father and I'll get back to you with an answer, okay? I sighed and slumped in the chair but still gave him a smile. He excused himself while I kept working with the one man helping me, which by the way I found out his name is Kage. he was tall, but not as tall as Iah. He had the softest blue eyes and a perfect smile. He hardly smiled but when he did he could make any girl melt. He was very sweet but firm and he tried not to be so jumpy around me so I wouldn't feel nervous. I turned to look at the door and in comes Iah and says: Mother and father want to talk to you.
