Chasing Excitement

The truth hurts.

Koln, Germany.

 My eyes feel heavy, my head hurts. I just want to go back to sleep. I know nothing good awaits me when I'll open my eyes. So why bother? Then images of the car crash invaded my mind and I knew I had to open my eyes. I had to find out that Violetta was okay, then I'll go back to sleep.

I gathered all the strength I managed to find in myself and slowly opened my eyes. I was greeted with a bright light that caused my head to hurt even more. I couldn't bare it any longer so I closed them again. After a while I decided to try again, for violet. In spite of the pain I managed to leave them open, I saw white walls, white bed, white monitors nothing more.

I called a nurse with the help button and after a couple of seconds a blond nurse with a warm smile entered the room. I jumped strait to the point "Is Violet ok? What happened to us? Where is she?!"

The nurse didn't even flinch at my outburst, she was obviously used to such behavior. "Your friend is in the room beside yours still unconscious. I believe she'll wake up soon enough so you can relax and answer my questions."

I immediately relaxed when I learned that my best friend is alright and nothing bad is going to happen. Boy was I wrong.

"I want you to give me your insurance and basic information" I had absolutely no idea how to answer to that Lina Collins had no insurance and Lina Davis was just too much to handle, but on the other hand I did have to pay the hospital for my and Violet's stay.

"I'm Lina Davis the CEO of Davis Shipping Company and My friend is Violetta King" she frowned and looked at the clipboard in her hand "Miss Davis does your head hurt?"

"Yeah why?"

"Well you probably have a concussion"

"Why would you say that?" I looked at her confused.

"Your friend is Violetta Morreti, not king"

Dread filled my stomach and my abdomen clenched in protest. "You probably got mislead it can't be true... I know what's my best friends last name is."

The nurse looked at me with pity and said "well according to the passport we found on her she really isn't who you thought she was"

I smiled tightly at her and asked "can you give me a few moments alone please?"

She looked apprehensive for a moment but complied nevertheless, I immediately took out my phone and dialed the only person I knew would help me.

A sleepy voice sounded from the other line but I got straight to the point "Timmy, I need your help NOW"

Timothy composed himself quite quickly, after all it is in his contract. "I need to know who is Violetta Morreti and I want to know now!" I almost yelled into the phone.  After that all I could hear was the sound of typing and scrolling. I a few minutes I had a ready report about this Violetta Morreti, this is what Tommy does, I pay him a generous sum of money every month so at any given second of the day and night I could have a full report on anyone I want. Perks of being filthy rich I guess.

"Violetta Morreti 21 years old, an American citizen for the last 20 years of her life. Her parents emigrated from Spain to the United States when she was one year old in search of a better future for their daughter. She is one of the best head hunters in the field, give her a name and she'll find where that person hides in less than twenty four hours. According to my resources she was hired by your mother over two months ago. For what purpose I have no idea. The only thing I can see is money transformations from your mother's account to hers."

"I think I know what for" I replied and hung up. Tears welled up in my eyes but I forced myself to keep them inside. I won't cry. Not here, I promise to myself at least that.
