Chapter 11 - Things I do

Zeke called the "monster and the princess" to the house while I stopped my nose from leaking and leaving evidence. Whoever that assistant was… was hired for a reason that man took a statue to the head and punched me square in the nose… Now I'm no doctor but his skull must be made of fucking steel cause no normal man would be standing. Thank goodness Zeke came in and gave me a chance to nail him in the temple.

When I got my nose to stop running I took a bowl of the Princess' dinner and was told to find the surveillance room and do some damage, which I did. I stole everything I touched and took everything I could. Then it was time to sit and wait for the couple to come home.

We sat in our car three blocks away from the condo with the front door and gate in full view. I sat in the passenger seat combing out my braids, pulling off my fake glasses and carefully taking out my brown contacts to reveal my bluish-green eyes. I then took a minute to shave my face with, a travel-size shaving cream, a water bottle, and a Gillette razor.

"How do I look?"

"Like someone, I have never seen."

"Let's do this." The ambulance drove the injured assistant to the hospital, while the couple explained what they knew had happened. We made our way to the hospital to start the second phase. I planned to wait in the lobby and pretend to be a visitor, and try to single out Princess so that she would be easy to just shoplift and walk away.

Now with a new appearance even if they explained me down to the last hair follicle the police would have trouble looking at me and saying 'yep that's the guy we're looking for.' The only thing is my voice. I'm really going to have to put on a show with that part because the princess knows what I sound like.

I was approached by a doctor once before they both came rushing in. It took about an hour before the hospital allowed them to see the assistant and just by luck she came out and sat alone in the not so busy lobby.

Bingo!

"What are you here for?" I came over to sit next to her. She studied me and I looked straight into her eyes as she did so.

"I'm here because a friend got hurt really badly, he's up now and I left my fiancé in there with him. That's his best friend after all."

Jackpot this couldn't be a better setup.

"Damn." I pretended to sniff.

"Why are you here?" The words Zeke left me with echoed in the back of my head.

She's too kind… Play on her sympathy and trust.

"I'm here… because my mom got hit by a car. The guy was drunk and rammed her well. I'm waiting for them to tell me something… Anything… I just needed someone to talk to in the meantime."

"Aww. I'm sorry. I hope she wakes up and recovers well… I'm not going anywhere any time soon so if you want… I can keep you company."

"That would be great. How can I repay you for your time?" I looked around and saw the coffee machine in the cafeteria from where I was sitting and then saw the vending machine.

"I could buy you a coffee? Do you drink coffee?"

"No, I don't drink coffee. I'm not thirsty anyway. Thank you though"

"Please let me repay you. I could get you something for later?"

"No."

"Please miss, I don't mind."

"Fine, I'll take a sprite."

"Coming right up." I went to buy myself a coffee so I can sort of mentally trick her into sipping the drink then I bought her a sprite. Then it was time to return.

"Thank you."

"No thank you for your time." By the grace of some miracle, she opened the bottle without tricking her… we talked about sad nonsense for a while then she excused herself to the bathroom. My eyes swept the room and noticed it was basically empty.

Fucking perfect. This situation couldn't be more perfect.

I then threw the sleeping pill powder into her drink and closed the cap. When she returned I was staring off into space and she kicked over the closed bottle by accident. She then lifted the bottle and chugged its contents and threw the empty bottle away. I smiled at her as she got more and more tired. When she finally fell asleep, we were approached by a nurse once again. She looked as if she was getting ready to leave too.

"Is she okay?"

"Yes. She's been with her mother all day without sleeping. I was letting her rest a bit before I carried her to the car."

"Aww, poor thing." I shined a sweet smile at the nurse as I lifted Ludo princess style and carried her out and away.

"Be safe."

"Thank you, have a good day."

I then carried her all the way to the car and placed her in the back seat then I climbed in the passenger seat and continued to sip my coffee.

To the one-way box!

"Dude fucking flawless!"

"Let's get her back to her room."

"Oh of course. Hey Zeke, how are you feeling about breaking her and then putting her up for ransom?"

"What!? You actually want to give her back?"

"We need money to leave Puerto Rico. We cant stay after four kidnappings, and a murder."

"Fuck man you're right… but can we break her slowly? We took forever to actually catch her… I want to have my fun."

I just stayed quiet. I wasn't in the mood to argue. But taking my time to break her… now that was an idea I could get behind.

I wonder if she cries when things get too rough. Hehehe.
