A Day in the Life...

Returning Home

Nile had just said goodnight to Rachel and was looking forward to the next time he would see her again. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too long. Walking to his hotel room, he was ready to relax for the night.

'My, I hope Rachel is alright, she seems to have been in some kind of altercation. She seems okay, I'll give her a ring in the morning.'

Walking up to the elevator, he pushes the up button and waits. As he waits his watch beeps.

He sighs, 'Why can't they just leave me alone and let me enjoy myself, bloody hell.'

He answers, "Nile here, go ahead..."

"Nile... is everything alright? We've been trying to reach you for days!!!"

"Chet I'm fine, I told you I will be busy, you don't need to check up on me every second you know. I'm safe here; this is my home after all." He rubs his temple and enters the elevator

Chet sighs, "I know Nile, but you know we have to keep an eye on you, commander's orders. You are a very high target and who knows what could happen."

Nile drawls, "Right...like I'm going to be abducted by some random organization. News flash, nobody knows who I am. I haven't been here in years. I'm pretty sure I can blend in without being found out."

"That's beside the point... also I think someone is onto you being there. We have readings that something is going on and it all started when you arrived. Just be cautious Nile that's all I'm saying."

"Dang, can't I have one day of peace?? Alright, Chet I'll keep an eye out and thanks."

"Well... don't thank me yet, a very special friend has also been looking for you. Since you didn't answer, he has been sent out there as well...just a heads up."

He rolls his eyes, 'Oh great another headache, what else could ruin this night for me?'

"I'll make sure to contact him later; right now, I just need some sleep. Nile out..."

Nile ends the transmission by pressing a button on his watch, the elevator chimes. He steps out onto the twelfth floor, heading down the hall to room 1201. Reaching into his pocket he looks for his key. He begins searching each pocket.

He groans, 'I seemed to have misplaced my key, hopefully the receptionist has a spare.'

He makes his way back down to the front desk. Nile goes to the elevator once more, this time pressing the down arrow. He waits for the elevator and makes his way down. All the while wondering...

'Now why did 'he' have to come looking for me, I'm fine on my own, I don't need a babysitter.' Nile mumbles

Walking to the front desk, "Sir... excuse me sir..."

"Yes, how can I help you?"

"I've seemed to misplace my key; do you have a spare?"

"What room?"

"Room 1201..."

The receptionist questions, "Ah Mr.... Nile is it? It looks like we don't have a spare, but I'll have to get the master key. This will take only take a moment, if you would like to leave your number, I can call when it's ready?"

'Great just great...' "Yeah sure..." 'Guess I'll take a walk then, it's a nice night out.'

Nile walks out of the hotel and begins his stroll around the neighborhood, unbeknownst of the figure shadowing him.
