Rob was with his usual clothes, always comfy. His face, on the other hand was serious.
"You won't come to me unless something bothers you. Am I wrong Samantha?", he said, quite spiteful towards the girl with glasses. "Now come on get in, and tell me why you think I know what's happening?"
The girl with eyeglasses entered followed by Renata. Both sat close to a window, on a gray cushion. The man sat in front of the girls, with his phone at his hand, and the other playing with his hair. The bleached haired girl took and tossed to Rob a beer. She then showed her middle finger.
"Nice to see you too, Renata. Now, to the point, please.", he replied, almost without emotions
"Renata and me got this feeling after seeing the forest, like being watched, constantly", answered the black hair girl. She was going to tell about the pictures, but instead focused on the sensation. "Even now, or when there's no one, just that sensation. Leandra started to have it too. I'm afraid we're not the only ones. Since you work with the newspaper we-"
"Hold it there, Sam, please. I'm a community manager, not a reporter o even an editor. I have no access to fresh news, or archives. I just have access to social media stuff. So, cut it there, okay?", he nervously declined, while drinking the beer. "Besides, You're not the only one that saw the place during Agatha's party...", said while pointing up the tattooed girl
Samantha immediately saw Renata, quite upset.
"Girl, there were like 20 people there, and I'm no social butterfly. Just thought Agatha invited you, and wanted to see you. Maybe to impress you, to get a kiss...", she said while enjoying the ashamed and angry face of the lady with glasses. "Also, I'm not sure if Rob was flirting with Agatha or with other poor soul."
"Excuse me, bitch? Poor soul? Pretty sure I'm a great bf material. But, I saw you going straight to the terrace with a drink, and then just getting bored", Rob said, remembering the moment. "You were right I was there to flirt some people, but not Agatha, she was going to leave the town. Ain't a good idea date her. John, was free, on the other hand, but, we're not here to talk about cute butts. "He drank a bit of his beer, and continued. "After Renata left, quite faster than usual, I was still talking with John. Sadly nothing happened. But, since was Agatha's last party with us, I chose to stay and help her and her roomie to get the place clean. The moment I was cleaning the terrace, I was with Rheagan, you know her? Anyways, we were talking while taking the garbage to a bag when we both hear like a whisper. We turned to see who was talking, but we just saw the forest. Sadly, Rheagan got pale and said something like 'haunts men'. She left quickly. After that, the feeling I guess you describe, might be the same."
Samantha closed her eyes while massging her nose. It was unexpected. Rheagan, a girl that was raised with her, that was close to her family, and quite interested on her grandma's book, might knew something.
"Guess I gonna have to talk to Rheagan...but I'm sure you get some info about...'haunts men'?", the lady with glasses said.
"There's nothing on the news about it. Not on digital. Maybe on older news, but since we're talking for a newspaper that works here since the 60s...there's like 60 years of papers that might have something.", answered Rob. "And, before telling me that they're on digital, must tell you they are, but like an image. No keywords. It's a lot of time..."
"So Sam must go to talk and flirt with Rheagan....", said Renata while getting a push from the glasses girl.
"Thanks for everything Rob. At least we have a name. And she lives close to me.", adjusting her glasses, Samantha thanked and left the place. She waited outside, while hearing Renata arguing with Rob to convince him to check at least some papers. They were discussing in portuguese, their mother tounge, so it was useless to understand it to her. But gave her some time to check her phone.
Nothing new. Just the same pictures, the same messages. It was early in the afternoon, and a calm sunny day. Few clouds on sky. She then noted her phone received a lot of messages.
Ayaka sent a lot of emojis and memes to communicate with her. Even sent her a picture from some plants of her garden in her terrace. It was odd, yet cute. Renata came out angry, while shouting to Rob and his "bad manners". He also answered the screaming with other screamings, just noticing that throwing beer to someone's couch because can't help her was childish and flavorless.
"Let's get to Rheagan's home, ok? She at least would try to help us!", the girl with tattoos shouted, once more.
"Oh, yeah? Well lemme just talk to her and tell her what type of woman you are, Renata. That's my only couch! I'll make you pay the cleaning."
After a middle finger from Renata, both girl started to move to a bus station.
"Girl, the only thing we gonna get with this is stress, ya know? You, Leandra, Rob, me, now Rheagan...saw the place and you want to go and talk with that girl. Just take the fucking book your grandma has and-", Renata was saying, while getting stopped by Samantha.
"That book has a lot of my grandma's ideas than something solid. Besides, I don't wanna gave my grandpa any idea about this. They were so close that...nevermind. And it's not gonna be only me visiting her." she then grabbed Renata from the shirt. "We are gonna see Rheagan."
The bus stopped, both girls get inside, but just one was blushed due the aggressive black haired girl. A kiss would make that moment so..., she thought, blushing, while adjusting her clothes.
