Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: security

Liam: You've met Tom

Tom the scruffy blond from a few minutes ago nods his head.

Liam: He's head of security. If for any reason I'm not around you find To

And stick with him.

Willow: I thought you where head of security?

Liam: I own and operate Eagle eye security I over see all operations on and off the field but Toms my second hand man.

Liam: over there is James, Nick and Erik

And the one on the computers is Carlton.

After introductions and a little small talk Erika excuses her self.

Erika: I'll come get you when the caters have arrived.

She winks at me as she sashays out the door watching all the eyes fall to her backside. I shake my head at the bluntness and the amusement of it all.

Carlton the tech guy sets up his gadgets to the main frame and asks for my phone and passwords.

Willow: what do you need my phone for?

I question with a puzzled look at Liam.

Liam: Carlton is setting up an undetectable tracker to your phone. As precaution.

Carlton: If anything happens like your phone gets turned off or the battery dies we will still be able to track you. With the auto tracker.

I hand Carlton my phone

Willow: This seems a bit much for just precautionary?

Liam glances at me then quickly averts his eyes as if hiding something from me. Before I can ask anything Tom comes over whispering something to Liam.

Liam: I'll be right back.

Liam walks with Tom over to the table where a lap top is open and I catch a glimpse of an image that causes the room to start closing in on me.

Anxiety builds with the shortening of breath. The image of my ex.

Suddenly everything seems all to real. It's side by side with an image of the UPS guy from earlier. I notice lines moving quickly across the faces on both images and then realize they're scanning for facial recognition.

Erika: Caterers are here Willow!

I jump at Erika's abrupt announcement. At the same time Carlton is trying to hand me my phone back.

Sensing my unease Liam takes a few steps towards me and places his hand on my shoulder.

Liam: You ok?

Willow: yeah. Fine. Can Erika give your guys that tour?

Liam: Yeah let me....

I dart out of the room before Liam can finishing speaking and quickly make my way down the hall, stopping short of the kitchen entrance to catch my breath. Telling my self it doesn't mean he's here it's all just precautionary.

Willow: Breath Willow breath....
