Chapter 11

I stair a the tv screen as the cartoon switches from seen to seen, A splatter of blood on my left cheek snaps me back to my reality. 

“Deimos…..,”

Though I’m now thinking straight, The blood on my cheek has not disrupted me as to stop what I’m currently ‘fixing’. 

“Deimos! I think he has learned his lesson!

Tory’s words don’t stop me.

“DEIMOS!”

I turn to Troy. 

“Is there a problem?” 

I let go of the slug that was in my hands, I don’t stop myself from glaring at Troy. 

“I know you told me not to step in but I think you may have gone too far, He may not ever get up after what you just did!” I chuckle at his words.

“You’re right.., I did tell you not to get involved!”

Troy sighs as he drags the man to a chair, He then cuffed him back to the chair. 

“I know he was the one feeding the feds information.., But right now he seems to be with in an inch of his life.” Troy throws the key into the empty trash across the room. 

“Deimos we should leave now, They are going to be here soon.” I nod at Troys words. 

“Yes, And I’m already late for another appointment.” Troy and I head for the door as we leave the two posted by the door’s follow us.

A short ride latter and we arrived at my ‘company’ to regroup, There are a few things that we have to work out before this ‘Mayor business’ shit is over!

A couple of hours have passed after since we have left and everything had been wrapped up, I can feel the weight of my tiered eyelids settling in on me on the drive home….

 I need something to elevate this tiered boredom!

I should try to keep tomorrow morning quiet, Everyone has their orders to lay low and not to attract any unwanted attention to themselves. 

But as for me…, Well I’m still allowed to do whatever I want…, Much to Troys dismay. 

“What would you like me to set up for tomorrow?” 

Tory asks while driving. 

“I would like to see if we can find someone” I can see Tory roll his eyes in the mirror. 

“Thats very vague!” 

I stop myself before doing the same thing. 

“Given what we just got out of I like the idea of vague.” I shift the cufflinks on my shirt, I can feel Tory’s gaze sifting between me and the road.

“What else do you have on your mind Troy?” He sighs, He seems to hesitates for a moment. “Am I correct that you want to see that girl again?” He seems to be trying to determine my intentions again…, I don’t really know what to tell him.., Nothing peeks my interest. “Why are you not saying anything?!” I look out the car window to ignore his eye line.

“Because I have nothing to say.” Troy gives in and focuses on driving, But he is right………

Somehow in the back of my mind I feel the need to see that girl again.., I’m usually able to suppress my feelings very well but recently I can feel my control slipping. 

I can’t let it affect my work like it did earlier.

“Troy take me ton the café” He eyes me though the mirror, He reluctantly makes a U turn to go toward the café. “What maid you change your mind?” Troy’s gaze flutters between me and the road. 

“What’s it to you?” He shrugs. “Nothing really.., I was already burned by the subject!” That is true.., I do enjoy it when he keeps his thoughts to himself. 

“But!” I keep my face straight. “I would like to watch whatever is going to happen”

 He adjusts his mirror to look right into my eyes, I know what he is trying to do and I will not humor him.

“With a bag of popcorn” He smirks as he chuckles to himself, I swear I will kill him one of these days. 

I feel odd…, There is not meany thing that I want to seek, Or well seek out at all. But this is something I want to follow though on even though I am unsure of myself for it. “We are not too far now,” Tory glances back at me. “If you want me to turn around now is the time to speak!” Tory says with a smirk as we reach a stop light, He really does not want me to g though with this does he. “Just do your job Troy.” Tory makes an annoyed face and looks away.

 He really acts like a kid sometimes.., In some ways both of us had to grow up early. 

“We are here!!” 

Troy shouted in a lowed voice, I glare at him from the back seat. 

“WoW, We arrived! I never knew was blind.” 

I try to make my tone as sarcastic as possible, But I feel it does not come across as I would like it to be. “What is wrong with you? Did that guy punch you when I wasn’t looking?” I get out of the car as fast as I can, There is no need for me to sit around and let him mock me.
