Chapter 3 - Showing her talent

[Abandoned warehouse]

'Mister scaredy-cat!'

"Would you please not call me like that."

'Then what am I supposed to call you.'

….

'How about mister Warry.'

"Fine…"

"What do you need?"

'When you took me, did you also bring my bag?'

"We did."

'Great, there are three thing I need you to do.'

'First is open it and take out my smart phone.'

The man looked at her suspicious.

'What… I can't make any calls now can I…'

The man handed her smart phone and she un-locked the first lock, can you type in the password for me?'

"And what's that?"

'Get Out!'

"What?"

'That's the password Get Out!'

The man did as she instructed.

"Alright it's unlocked."

'Nice… how much power does it have left?'

"15%."

'There should be an power bank and a charge cable just hook it up and turn my phone off.'

"Why do you want me to turn it off?"

'Because every smartphone these days have a software that can track the phone's location.'

'Just turn that thing off until it's recharged and then I can later disable the software.'

'Now for the third and last thing there is an MP3 player could you give it to me?'

Then man again went through her bag an found it.

"Why do you have something like that?"

'Why… to listen to music.'

"Don't you kids use your phones for everything these days?"

'Well most do, but I don't, smart phone batteries dies down fast if you use it for every little thing.'

The man handed over her MP-3 player and the girl put in her earbuds and started to listen to the music.

After an hour the Blake came back and saw Mouse panicked sitting in the couch.

He saw the girl leaning her head against his shoulder and when he was up close he noticed her breathing was steady and calm, indicating she was asleep.

"I swear I didn't touch her."

Blake chuckled a little, he help his friend by slowly and carefully getting the girl from his shoulder.

"You guys go out and buy some food."

"Will you be alright all by yourself with her?"

"You think I can't handle a little girl?"

"And by the way if she is a sleep like this, that means she won't harm or run even if I were asleep."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because from what I get is that she has no intention or wanting to go home."

"Alright Blake."

"What kind of food do we need to get for her?"

The young man inspected her arms and legs and noticed she had some muscle build.

"Something that has proteins and a salad should be fine."

The men left and Blake looked at the sleeping girl and saw she had earbuds in and carefully took one to have a listen.

He chuckled "For a bold girl you have a surprising taste of music."

The man laid the girl down on the couch and put his jacked over her.

He opened his laptop and started to work.

The girl started to wake up after a few minutes.

'Grey is that you?'

He looked at the girl "You really are a careless girl."

'No I'm not, were are Mouse and Warry?'

He looked at her not understanding who she was talking about.

'The two man who were scared when you told them to cut my ropes.'

"Pfft…"

'What's so funny?'

"Nothing… Then what do you call the two man at the door?"

'Now that you mention it, Knifes and Gunner are also gone.'

"Ahahaha how do you come up with weird names like that."

'Well they didn't tell me their names so I gave them a name according to how I perceive them.'

Blake leaned in the back of the chair.

'Knifes was playing with a butterfly knife and to be exact he was playing with two of them.'

'Gunner…while he doesn't make much sound, he gives off a vibe he uses guns.'

"Then why do you call me Grey?"

The girl smiled 'That's a secret.'

"Can I ask you something?"

'What can you possibly want to ask me, you have a laptop in front of you, you should be able to find anything and everything about me.'

"While that's true, somethings are just not out there."

'Fair enough… what do you want to know?'

"Do you want to go home?"

'No… not in the slightest, even if you put out a ransom demand to my family I don't want to go back there.'

"Just as I thought… You slept so peacefully just now and your guard was completely down."

"Then why were you leaning against one of my men's shoulder?"

"Before I left you were scared of them."

'Did I?'

"Yeh… panic was written all over his face."

'Pfft.'

"So if you get out, what are your plans for the future?"

'Well…'

"I won't laugh."

'Well since it's common knowledge in the business world by now, my grandparents didn't found me worthy of inheriting my father's business since I'm a girl.'

'So I'm studying economics, I want to show them I can create my own business and be successful and maybe even more successful than my father's business.'

"Hum…"

"First let me make a call and then I let you solve a problem."

'And how am I supposed to do that while I'm blindfolded.'

"Just take it of…"

'No!'

"What's wrong?"

'I don't want to see your face… ah I didn't mean it in a bad way… it's just that…'

"I understand, how about this, I'll turn my head while you're solving the problem."

'Alright…'

Grey made a call to his man and told them to stay out for an hour because she wasn't wearing her blindfold and out of concern about seeing their faces, it would be better to stay out a little longer.

The girl looked at the Grey's laptop and saw a business proposal and all the documents related to it.

'So what do you want me to do?'

"Well that's for you to figure out, but know this; everything you see is what you call a grey line."

'Alright I got it.'

The girl was reading all the papers and checked all the data that was collected.

In half an hour she found the problem and she opened a program and start typing up a plan the cost and best way for logistics and even how to divert customs.

After another 15 minutes she was done and told Grey she finished.

He told her to turn around so he could blindfold her again.

As she did 'Don't expect too much from a 16 year old girl… I still have a lot to learn.'

When the blindfold was back on he patted her head "That fine…I just want to see your grasp on your economic part of business."

Grey saw her complete plan and everything was well written out, she even saved on cost and how to get around customs.

"Jenifer?"

'What is it?'

'Is it that bad?'

"You're a genius…"

Grey gave her a kiss on the cheek and hugged her out of excitement.

'What are you doing!?'

"Ah I'm sorry…"

Jenifer started to laugh 'Well from your reaction I did something good.'

"Who was the one that taught you?"

'Nobody did, I came up with it after you said it was something that was on a grey line.'

'Well reading the documents and the data I knew it wasn't legal but it was something that was tolerated.'
