The Blue Eyed Mystery

Stranger In A Suit.

It's 7 AM, on a cold winter morning, on another plane, to another home, for the same job. It's all the same as last time, just moving to another hotel...

Charlotte thought to herself as the plane started to land, everyone stood up and walked towards the front of the plane, Charlotte sighed and stands up, she looks down at her mom who was fast asleep.

" Mom, Mom wake up! "

Charlotte says as she shoves her mom back and forth trying to wake her up, she rolls her eyes and heads towards the doors, she steps out of the plane and heads to the front gate, Charlotte runs into a line, she waits there for a few seconds before realizing she left her phone in her mom's bag, Charlotte dashes back to the plane when she notices her mom already heading in her direction, holding her bag and her phone in hand.

" Charlotte, I told you not to run off without me "

Her mom says with her hand on her hip staring down at her.

" I'm sorry mom, it's just, I've already memorized every single airport, there's no point in waiting when I can just get everything done with. "

Charlotte said crossing her arms and looking down

" Do you have a credit card? Or a driver's license? "

Her mom says raising one eyebrow, staring back down at her

" no.. "

Charlotte sighs

" That's what I thought, now stay with me so we can leave and get to our apartment before 9:00 "

Charlotte's mom says staring at her phone and speed walking to the gate. After getting out of the airport, the mom calls for a taxi, the taxi arrives and they get in the car, the only problem is, they don't know french...

" Bonjour madame, où voulez-vous aller ? "

( Hello Ma'am where do you want to go? )

The taxi driver asks, Charlotte's mom freezes, she didn't know french and she forgot to bring her translation book

" Madame? Est-ce que tu vas bien? "

He asks once more, before her mom could answer a guy with black hair and golden eyes hops into the car

" Mind if I catch a ride with you? "

He says, he had a scratch mark across his lip and cheek and wore a white suit with a white fedora covering his eyes slightly

" Wait, how come you're not french? "

Charlotte asks scooting away from the stranger, she mainly didn't understand why the taxi driver just let this random man in, non the less her mother

" Oh excuse me miss, I can speak English and French, I see you two are not from around here. "

He says leaning back in the seat, Charlotte was still wondering why her mom hadn't said anything yet

" No, we just got here, hence the reason why we were in front of an airport. "

Charlotte says staring at him with a sharp suspicious expression

" Well miss, I am Crow, Mr. Crow Solace, pleasure to meet you ladies "

He says offering his hand, Charlotte shakes it slowly, she looks back at her mom who still hasn't moved, or blinked

" Oh don't mind her, she is just frozen in time. "

He says with a smirk, Charlotte's eyes widened and she waves her hands in front of her mom's face, Charlotte hears him whisper something in french to the bus driver.

" Je ne peux pas croire cela a fonctionné "

They both snicker and giggle, Charlotte rolls her eyes annoyed

" Haha, very funny, what are you doing here anyway? "

Charlotte asks, she just realized that her mom had just fallen asleep, with her eyes open

" I am here to translate for you, I'm from your mom's business, they knew she didn't know french so they sent me to help you out "

He says, he whistles to the taxi driver, and tapping the passenger seat a few times, as if it were a pattern, the taxi driver nods and starts the car

" Hey, what was that? "

Charlotte asks racing to put her seatbelt on

" Just a little Morse Code.. "

He says leaving himself unbuckled, it had been a few hours and it looked like it was getting dark, they were still in the taxi with this stranger from her mom's business.

" Tell me, does your mom fall asleep often? "

He asks out of the blue

" Why do you want to know? "

Charlotte says starting to get suspicious, it had already been hours in the taxi, they should've been at their apartment by now.

" Just curious, it would seem that this has happened before. "

He says looking out the window

" Hey, Crow guy, ask the taxi driver where we're going. "

Charlotte says starting to get impatient

" Calm down we're just heading to my place to drop me off, then you guys can head back to your apartment "

He said continuing to stare out the window, they had finally arrived at a small home with a tiny garden at the front of it, it looked like a perfect home for one.

Crow hops out of the car

" Well, it was nice talking to you, but I must get back to my owner now. "

He says heading toward the house

" Wait, did you say- "

When Charlotte was confused about what he meant by 'Owner' but, before she had enough time to question him, he disappeared, and all she saw was a black cat running behind the house, Charlotte thought she was going nuts and decided to just lay back in the taxi, after he left the taxi driver starts the car once more to get ready to take her and her sleeping mother home.
