Long Dark Road - part 2

Three years later…

Department of Interparallel security unit

Ms.Anderson?

Elaine looked up, at her assistant, Mitchel. Yes?

Mr. Sanders is here to see you.

Send him in.

Elaine already knew why he was here. She wondered how to get out of this one, he`s going to know the truth anyway. Maybe he can help you, no one can help you missy, just go with it.

Hey Marty, shouldn`t you be somewhere celebrating?

He sat down with a half smile.

I`m not sure whether I should be celebrating, he paused, looking right at her with his puppydog eyes, as if trying to read her mind.

For three years you`ve made sure that I screw up everything that I do, but now? why? what`s in it for you?

Elaine took a deep breath,

You have everything you ever wanted Marty, your own department, enough and more funding to fight your cause or whatever you call it, just..

Marty interrupted, why now? You don`t even believe that Murdok is planning an awakening, or even that they`ve joined hands to attack the city, he looked straight into her eyes again, do you even believe in spirits?

Elaine sat back on her chair, trying to break away from his gaze, she always thought of him as one of the sexiest men in the entire division. More than that she was amazed at his commitment, his ability to uncover everything, believing in things that others would only laugh about, fighting back to save the intelligence community; that’s how she found out about him, if only he knew…

I know more about the Murdoks and the dark forces more than you ever know.

Marty got up, It was you? You were my reliable source?

Elaine didn`t say anything, you can try and stop them Marty, you have the people, you have  a brilliant team.

Who are you really? I think you are more than just some relative of the Touloku family.

You are way too paranoid, im gonna head home, loosen up a little, go celebrate.

Marty nodded, smiling a grateful smile, thinking to himself, i`m gonna findout who you really are, watching her walking out of the office, somehow he knew that she was one of the good guys, thanx Elaine, he told himself.

Marty was chatting with Mitchel, when a loud explosion rattled the building.

Elaine was the first thing that came into his mind when he ran towards the parking lot.

Long Dark Road- part 1

She was walking along the busy market wondering whether she made the right choice. Its too late to go back anyway and you don`t really have a choice either, she told herself. And kept walking, not paying attention to the locals who were bargaining , hoping to get the best deal, she smiled to herself, her mind went back to the days she used to bargain for much more than simple things, why she walked away, and why she`s here, right now, going back to her old life. She shrugged her shoulders as if to brush off the chill that went down her spine; fear that was all too familiar to her. She walked past the busy farmers, looked for the old gypsy.

Elaine!  Suddenly stopping midway, surprised that anybody would recognize her, she turned to see a little girl about 10 years old, blond long hair looking at her.

Walking towards the little girl she wondered , whether she was walking into a death trap. Its just a little girl, stop being paranoid, she told herself.

Hi, Do I know you ?

Straight to the point at least compliment that pretty dress that she`s wearing, no I don’t have time for this.

Am I supposed to know you ?

Without saying a word the little girl turned and started running. great just great.

 Im not coming after you!  

As she turned to walk back her way, a familiar figure was standing in front of her. 6 foot tall built black guy with a bold head stood in front of her.

You`ve changed a lot! Couple of years ago you would`ve run after that little girl.

Randy!!!!!! Walking towards him, he hugged her lifting her small frame off her feet, Good to see you again Angie…putting her down looking at her…..All grown up, did u have a makeover?...coz u look….unrecognizable frankly….

Grinning wide, that’s exactly the point Rands,

Changing her expression , looking down , I heard what happened , if I had known sooner…

Its alright, we wanted you to stay out of it, to be safe,

We? Who`s we? Everyone knows?

Lets go, meet some people, you have a lot to catch up on, the little girl is Logan`s daughter by the way…

He found her?....

Like I said you have a lot to catch up on…come on….lets go…this way….

She followed him…smiling…..forgetting about the old gypsy..…
