Chapter 2
Michael's POV
"Good morning, Mr. Carson!" The valet employee greeted. "Morning Jimmy!" I replied. I gave him the keys to my Maserati, which he took to park the car. I also tipped him $50; that's what you can do if you are the owner of a very successful company.
I own a company that creates and sells hi-tech products, ideas all coming from me. It all actually started with my Dad and I. When I was younger, he and I would come up with these ideas for these products. He would always say that those ideas will lead to a better life in the future. He would say that it was his dream to actually start a company to build our ideas. But when he disappeared one day, I knew that I had to continue his dream. And thats exactly what happened.
My receptionist, Alexis, greeted me with a wave and a flirty voice, "Hello Mr. Carson." Her blouse was popped open enough to see the top of her breasts. "Hi Alexis." I replied, ignoring the fact that her breasts were out to the whole world. I walked past her desk and stepped into the elevator. I reached the top floor where my office was. I walked by the cubicles, where all heads turn toward my way. Whispers were all over the floor, "Look it's Mr. Carson!", "He is so hot!", "I just want to take him home and have him fuck me senseless!" I ignored the last one and walked over to the CEO's office. "Yo Michael!" My best friend, Brian, hollered. "Long time no see, man!" I replied when we shook hands. Brian is the CEO of my company and we've been best friends ever since high school. "Mr. Big-shot, is too busy to visit his friends huh?!" He joked. I laughed nervously at his joke; I have actually been busy. Busy looking for my dad.
During my young years, my father disappeared. My mom was devastated when he was gone. She was left with me, being the oldest, my sister, Andrea, and my youngest brother Charlie, who she was pregnant with at the time. I had to take care of them since I was the oldest. At that time, we didn't what happened to him. But as I grew older, I've found a way to get more information on his disappearance. I was one of those nerd, geek, brainiac, whatever you call it. I knew I was pretty smart. Smart enough to hack into the police computer system and look up his file. By looking at his file, I found out that my dad has done some business with this drug cartel leader, some guy named Alex Cortex. I looked him up too and and found out that he is the largest known leader of a drug cartel and a serial killer. He has guys working for him, doing his runs, and killing people. The last fact made me shudder.
"So, whats up Michael?" Brian asked, as he sat down. I sat in one of his chairs. "Nothing much. Just working on some new projects." I answered. "Well what did you come up with?" He questioned. Before I could respond, we were interrupted by Brian's assistant, Rebecca. "Mr. Davis, Mr. Monroe is on line one wai-..." She paused when she saw me sitting down. She straightened up when she saw me, "Oh! Mr. Carson, I didn't see you there!" She said, while playing with her curls. I gave her a short, very awkward wave. Brian then interrupted this very awkward tension, "Thank you Ms. Albury." She looked at him with annoyance, then turned to me with a flirty smile. "Goodbye Mr. Carson." She said before closing the door. "Wow!" Brian said astonished. I started chuckling. "How do you that?" He questioned. I gave him a curious look, "Do what?" "The whole ladies-falling for you act. I mean, I can't even get her to look at me. Then you show up and she's head over heels for you." He said while leaning against his desk. I started to get up, "I don't know man, but I got to run. Just wanted to say hi." I said while backing to the door. "Alright take care man." He called after. Walking by the cubicles, again, I heard more whispers. Some were scary and again, very sexual.
I exited of the CarsonCo. building and drove away. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to go to the mall and check out the Electronics department. I always go there to get ideas for new products. That's what my father and I did back then too. Arriving at the mall, I saw this beautiful woman getting out of a taxi and entering the mall. Wow! She was gorgeous! Then I noticed two mysterious men following her shortly. Something isn't right.
I entered the mall, going to the Electronics Section at Macy's as I planned. Looking at the devices, I noticed the two men who were following the beautiful woman walk by. I recognized the two men from the files I've read. They were Cortex's men. But where was the girl? Hopefully she went home, and those two lost her. Boy, was I wrong. I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. Usually, it would be women fantasizing about me or having very sexual thoughts. But these eyes were different. I looked and saw the beautiful lady I saw before staring at me. Wow she has beautiful eyes! I gave her a half smile. She slowly started to walk away. I might as well follow her; you know, so nothing happens to her. When she exited Macy's, I noticed the two men pretending to read newspapers as she walked by. They got up and followed her when she was a good distance away to notice them. I decided to go a different route, so I can catch up to her and get her out of all of this following.
I decided to hide in a corner and pull her in when she comes. That is exactly what happened. When I pulled her in, I put my hand over her mouth to muffle her scream. Then I made sure the two lost sight and walk by. I removed my hand from her mouth when she said, " Thanks. Who are you?" I showed my face from the dark corner. "You?!" She exclaimed while giving me a confused look. I asked her,"Why were those guys following you?" She shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I don't know. How do you know them?" I decided to tell her about Alex Cortex. "They work for Alex Cortex." I told her. "Alex Cortex?" She questioned. "Yea. He has the biggest drug cartel in San Francisco. He is also the most wanted serial killer in the West Coast." I replied. "How many people work for him?" She asked. Jeez this girl has a lot of questions."At least thousands. They do drug runs, ambush other cartels, and even murder people." I said. Hopefully that was the last question. I have to go home! "Ok, last question." She finally said. Dammit! "What is your name?" She asked. That was easy. "I'm Michael. Look just be careful. These guys are serious." And with that, I walked away. Bye pretty woman.
