Helene and I waiter patiently until Arabella left her opulent apartment at the city center. It felt almost like being a part of one of the mystery shows I love watching at home. We staked out the apartment for hours, munching on unhealthy junk food and staring at the building’s front doors until our vision seemed blurry.
Finally Arabella emerged, departing with the air of a socialite off on some sultry affair – dressed to the nines and slinking off towards the pack house.
“There she goes!” Helene whispers excitedly, “Go on now, I’ll stand watch.”
“Now, already?” This was all happening much too fast for me to process. I thought I might reconnect with Bastien in a few days, after an extended mission watching their apartment. I’m not ready to face him now. Still, my mentor seems only too eager for me to take this step.
“Yes now!” Helene scoffs, “This is what we’ve been preparing for you silly thing.”
