Avian woke the next day to three different noises going off. The first as Taylor using the blender to make a smoothie for breakfast, the second was her computer beeping at her about appointments, emails, and other info, and the third was a horrible cracking sound on her door.
She pulled herself off the couch and made way for the door. She opened it and sighed at the sight of it. The man she had tried to shake for months was back, again. She thought for a moment about letting him in the house, letting him stray to far from the front door and just killing him there, but he was only doing his job, and killing him might put even more eyes on her than she needed.
"Hello again Agent Walter... Let me guess, This is about my club right?"
He glanced at her over his shades, his bright green eyes watched her for anything that could be a give away. "Of course..." He said as he entered without asking. She could break his arm in such a quick motion for that but she let it slide, she was used to it.
He sat on the couch and set some pictures on her coffee table, "A lot of strange things happen around you Miss Torain. I mean your club iced over, Alot of people could have died if it didnt thaw out you know..."
"Including myself thank you very much, and dont for a moment beleive i had anything to do with it because frankly sir, thats bull shit. I was running my club on its opening day, got frozen, and had a really bad night, You dont even want to know how much money I lost in that incident."
He frowned, "True..." His dark blueish hair caught the light and avian felt like ripping it all out, if anyone on the planet could piss her off, it was this guy. "However, things of all wierdness happen, around you."
"I beg to differ Walter, First off I wasnt anywhere near the three towns that had their own problems all at the same time... For example in there was three days straight of rain in the Sahara desert, at the same time hawaii suffered a lovely blizzard, and dont forget moscow and its severe heat wave... Yet I have never been to any of those places, so why do you think this iced up club has anything to do with me? I fail to see your logical reasoning..."
He listened and remembered each incident, all did happen in places she had never been but he wasnt taking at as sure proof she was innocent. He knew these things revolved around her somehow, he just didnt know how. "you forgot to mention the fires in california..."
She glared at him, "California ALWAYS has fires..."
"Ahah!" He shouted as if she confessed to the whole thing, "You say that, but maybe you just dont like california..."
"Iv never been there, cant really say id like it or not, I cannot beleive you think this is my doing, and surely some idiot with a camp fire in california or something isnt the best excuse to tell your boss but seriously I have no idea about any of these events... Blame Global Warming."
"Not likely," He paused, "So who, may I ask is this man?" He pointed at a picture of her and chance in the alley way.
She looked annoyed at the fact he thought she was this stupid, "I know you well enough to tell you, you already know who he is, But to humor you, his name is Chance. Rather fetching man I must say," She smiled blushed, "I wasnt really interested in people when i moved here, I mean the dating sort, but... When I saw him there at my club the other night, I was so drawn in by his mass and his- eh well you know, I wanted to get to know him, perhaps get his phone number, you know maybe go out on a date or two..."
Taylor snuck down into the basement and locked the door, she couldnt help but snicker to herself about the look Agent Walter had on his face about this story.
Avian continued, "So I took my break and hinted at him to follow... We talked for a bit and I scored his info, Well last night i invited him over, but you know that already since your watching me and such, We had dinner. I had just moved into this duplex you see, so to get to know my neighbors better I invited them over, and one of them had a date with a school mate so I invited her as well. It also gave me a sly way of getting to know chance better too, you know what I mean," Avian grinned and smiled, "Without making it seem to sudden and everything you know. And as for The girl your about to ask me about, Ira, yeah She had passed out at my bar after a while, and to make up for it I invited her and her boyfriend over as well, like a party, but her and her boyfriend got into this fight and only she showed up."
"Then do explain why she left your house in such a manner last night..." He asked eyeing her suspiciously.
She frowned, "Yeah, My fault really. It was a mix of i didnt know she was a vegitarian, and then as the night went on some things were said and she got quite offended, My neighbor, chuck, is quite the ass you know. Making remarks that ... should get him slapped by the opposite gender, Im quite surprised she left his face intact..."
"Is that so..." He packed up all the pictures, jotted down some notes in a notebook and headed for the door. Avian followed him and once on the porch he turned around and took off his sunglasses. "I know your involved with something here, Beleive me nothing you say will make me think otherwise... Oh and by the way... Did you know that the girls boyfriend, the one who got into the fight with the Ira girl, did you know there was roumored to be a mass shoot out there the other night? Yeah many criminals are missing, including her boyfriend... I dont report such findings though, not my particular field If you know what I mean... You just better watch yourself... Ill have my eyes on you..."
And with that he was in his black sedan and gone. Avian was surprised with him, he didnt pull his gun on her this time, and he confronted her openly instead of just trying to sneak up and corner her. This was a new thing for him.
Avian shut the door and found taylor laughing in the kitchen, "What?"
"Were you telling the truth about all that stuff about Chance?"
Avian grinned, "Wouldnt You like to know..." With that avian headed for the shower.
