Marta goes back into our home and my crew is unsure what to do since my front yard has become a way stop for craziness. Hector takes Romeo home and I disperse my crew to go speak with my sister. She tells me I can come into her room and I do, which for once doesn't get me a pissed off look.
"So Romeo and you are done," I ask and she nods," could have given the boy a chance, let him try to fix shit."
"Since we've been together he's always wanted to be one of your boys, I didn't want him and he did it anyway. You finally took him in and ever since it's what you want not what he and I want. My relationships shouldn't revolve around you," Marta explains and I didn't realize Romeo was so bent to please me.
"Could talk to him," I offer and she shakes her head.
"No, I need to find someone better for me," Marta says and I nod.
I leave my little sister to her blues and breakup heading back to my room to chill out and figure out how to keep Guy from doing something that will get him killed or me in trouble.
Guy Donnelly: One month after the abduction
Well here I am waiting for the first step. Well technically it's the fourth but I'm the only one counting and I say it's the first because it's my first time actually doing something. Biggest thing to win a war is patience, information and resources. I'm being patient, mostly. I've spent the resources to get this started and a couple days ago I got my first bits of information and now I sit in a car, not my car but a rental, at a taco truck. It's not bad food, mind you, if you can get past the fact that they just physically relocate to a new area when they fail a test from the Department of Health. I'm here mostly because there is nobody I know here and that is the point, they don't really know me. I'm waiting when I see her, she's kind of pretty in a plain and tired way and she's talking to her boyfriend. I know he's her boyfriend because I paid to know it. They don't spend much time together with her working and him doing his odd jobs and taking care of schooling but it's enough and they care about each other, that's the important part.
God I'm getting bored, when does he do something?
He is, your fun will come soon. Right now let me have my moment thank you.
And the lovers part, such a sweet scene considering how horrible relationships can actually be and I'm thankful I'm not in one. Probably won't be in one anytime soon but considering what I'm working on in the coming weeks. Now my target is alone and back in the food truck but the back door is open, time to eat.
"Hey I'll get a pork blast burrito not spicy, lettuce, tomato no onions and a thing of chili fries," I tell the man through the window and pay," Have the girl bring it out to my car."
I return to my rental and wait a few minutes till the female I'm waiting for, also the only one working in the truck, comes out carrying my food and drink. She sets it down on my hood and I smile.
"You are exactly what I was looking for," I tell her with a smile.
"Sorry white boy, I have a boyfriend," she tells me and I smile bigger.
"And I have a job, money, and a boss that is looking for a particular type of girl," I explain and she isn't impressed," But hey don't listen to the middle man who is talking about a paid audition."
"What," she asks and now I have her interested.
It won't work, so I should just do it the quick way.
"The company I'm working for is small in size and personnel but has a nicely sized bank roll. I'm one of about a dozen scouts in this state who have one job, find real natural girls and get them to audition," I begin my pitch and find myself cut off.
"Paid audition, come in, sit down and do what," she asks and I smile.
"Answer questions, some personal ones and probably show off your body a little bit. No nudity in the audition and no touching," I explain and now she doesn't look into it.
"How much," she asks and I smile.
"Audition is a hundred bucks; I record it and send it digitally. Takes a week or so to get a final result and if you are in you sign a contract," I explain keeping things business-like but friendly.
"If they like me I get a contract," she asks and this time I smile.
Now we show the teeth.
"More like if you like the offer. I'm pretty sure you're exactly what my employer is looking for," I state and stand up from the hood.
"How can you be so sure about me for… porn," she asks quietly and I shrug," this is porn right."
"This is movies and media of the digital age. People don't want porn stars, they want reality. Only way the Kardashians look like they do now is because they sold a little sex got noticed and then tried to become more famous than they were. You are reality, they're fantasy. People pay money for things they can attain," I am oozing with positives when I flip script," But if it's too much that's alright. I have to move on."
No chance.
"Can I have time to think about it," she asks and I nod.
Oh ye of little faith.
"Take your time, I'm doing interviews this week," I remove a card from my wallet and expose a few hundred dollar bills in front of her," Here's how you can contact me."
"My name is Lupe," she tells me and I smile.
I exchange pleasantries and put my food in the car before leaving. I stop by a homeless man and hand him the food before returning the car to the temporary lock up I have and get into my car after changing my clothing. And heading down the road to visit a friend who is very worried about me.
Arriving at Sydney's house is an interesting thing considering what everyone has been told and what is actually happening. Her mother opens the door for me and I get a hug as soon as I'm inside. It almost feels like I'm home but just a little off and new.
"How have you been," Syd's Mom asks and I shrug.
"Taking it day to day and getting my ducks in a row," I reply as Syd comes into the room and I'm crushed in a hug.
"I get you're trying to keep me safe but explain why we can't talk at school," Syd asks and I sigh.
"Because you don't let the enemy see where you are weakest and aside from my family that's you. I do want to thank you," I turned to Syd's Mother," I know it was confusing a bit but I needed you to tell my folks that I wasn't allowed to see Syd for the time being."
"Again I don't understand it, why the lie," Syd asks and we sit in the dining room.
"Because I needed to get out of there. That hospital was step one in putting me in a box," I say it and Syd's mom nods.
"First they say you need help, then they say they're helping you and finally you are a danger to yourself," she says it better than I could.
"Okay but when do we let the lie go and be friends again," Syd asks and I sigh again.
"I need to get this… problem taken care of but I am going to need your help with a few things. Nothing dangerous but I need someone I can trust," I ask and Syd nods.
I promise Syd's Mom that it's nothing dangerous and that once it is over we'll all sit down, both families and talk about good things. Sydney is still worried but when I explain what I'm doing I see her smile and not in a good happy way.
We like her. Why is he waiting again?
She is special, Guy finishes his business then we see what she wants.
I think you need Viagra because I saw that smile and I liked it.
I saw it too but remember there are more things to consider and some of them require more knowledge and that includes his heart.
