I close my eyes and make myself ready for whatever will happen in the future but then I feel something vibrating in my left pocket. I dig my left hand in and take out my vibrating phone. For a second it stops but soon once again it continues. I turn my phone around to se who is trying to reach me. Mostly it would be Emelie, my assistant but this time it's an unknown number. I breathe in and out before I answer with a smile.
"Hello Melly Blue speaking." I answer politely and focus on whoever is calling. But no one answers. I say hello again and once again no one answers. I wait some few seconds before I quit the call. Once I put my phone in my left pocket, it starts to vibrate again. I dig it up and se the same unknown number. I press green and answer with my previous sentence again. But like before on one answers.
I feel how I'm getting frustrated and annoyed, so I place my phone in my pocket again, but just like before, my phone vibrates once again. Really annoyed, I pick up the call without looking who's calling.
"Can you please stop calling me if you don't say a word." I say less politely, really irritated now. As I'm about to press the red button, I here a whisper on the other side. I press my ear closer to the phone and try making out what's happening on the other side on the phone.
"We're coming for you! You, oblivious for who you really are don't stand a chance against us! But if you surrender to us, maybe you will stay alive by the end of the year." Says a old husky male voice on the phone. As I'm about to ask what's happening, I here 3 small pips and immediately know that the call is disconnected now.
My uncle and Alaric are staring at me with questioning looks but I just shake my hand up in the air. We stand there, all 3 of us, staring at each other back and forth without saying a word.
Suddenly Emelie walks in and goes straight by my side. She hands me my daily 'To Do' List and guides me to my seat that's in the middle of the study room.
Emelie has strawberry blond long hair and doesn't look smart but actually is really smart and professional. Usually I would make Emelie collect information all over the places and she has had to go undercover for me many times. Her personality and body fits the perfect assistant.
I look at her and give her a grateful smile that she returns with a small smile. I look down on the list and read it through.
1. Reread the documents and adjust the recruitments.
2. Hand them in to Dan Blue for future recruitments.
3. Reread the previous documents.
4. Reread and finish.
I breathe out the breathe I didn't know I was holding. I feel my mood brighten up that there aren't any meetings today.
Emelie excuses herself out and I remember that both my uncle and Alaric are still here with me. I look up and am merged with wondering eyes. My uncle gives me a smile and binds me his goodbyes while Alaric gives me an bright smile that shows me how much he would love to still stay here, in the same room as me.
Alaric doesn't show any signs of going out and my uncle doesn't look happy at all.
" ok Mel, we'll let you work now." My uncle says while he literally drags Alaric out. As the door closes after them, am I left wondering about the call. What the husky voice said, how I'm oblivious about who I am. It doesn't make any sense, how would a stranger know anything about me that I, myself wouldn't know.
I want to call back and ask about it but before I can, I feel fear. But this time it's coming from me, myself.
