My anomaly

Chapter 7-Motorcycle Mayhem 2

We continued to walk through the twisty long corridors of the building until I realized we may not be allowed in some parts of the building and that we could get in even more trouble. And that is the LAST thing I would need right now.

"Hey are you sure you know where we're going?"I asked Alex as I walked behind him.

"Yeah,I've been here before at least 10 times," he answered casually. My eyes widened at his response. Was he arrested or something?

"No I wasn't arrested,my uncle has a good friend that works here and I come sometimes to help with some paperwork,"he replied to my thoughts. Did I just say that out loud?

"You did,"he replied again. Oh,when did I do that?We continued walking through some empty corridors in silence until Alex suddenly stopped in front of a huge,decorated white door. It looked like the kind of door that should be in a palace or something. I hid behind Alex who was slowly pushing the heavy looking doors. As soon as the doors creaked open I caught the sight of the dim room. There was polished rusty colored furniture engraved with patterns and designs. On the matching shelves, there were pictures of cops smiling and shaking hands with guys in business suits or holding certificates. There were also fancy glass trophies and medals, and weird Buddha ornaments here and there. This whole place looked like the freaking Buckingham palace,well except, you know,the Buddha stuff. In front of us stood a large business desk with files,books,CVs and...what the fudge?Is that Animal crackers packet? Anyway...Then I noticed a huge armchair behind the desk facing its back to us. I knew there was someone behind that chair,waiting for us. I didn't even notice there were two candles lit on the desk. My hands started sweating with anticipation and nervousness. Whoever was behind that chair clearly had to be powerful. This whole thing actually reminded me of something, just couldn't quite put my finger on it...

I waited as the chair ever so slowly turned around. While this whole thing happened, a tune kept playing in my head,what was it? The chair kept spinning around until finally a very scary looking man finally faced us. Oh wait!This reminded me of The godfather! With the tune and everything! The next thing he said caught me off guard.

"I've been expecting you,"he said in a deadly hushed tone. He had a mischievous smirk on. He actually looked like a mafia guy. He had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail,a rough squared jaw,dark mafia clothes(including a red tie!) and his hands were interlocked under his chin. And then he laughed. And laughed.And laughed.

Ok...my life is so weird.

"Hey!I was just joking kids,Alex!my man!How're you doin'?"he chuckled. He definitely had a thick foreign accent. And then Alex joined in his laughing fit while high fiving each other. Is this actually supposed to be happening in reality?

"You...*laughs...should-should have...*laughs like a hyena on crack...have seen your faces!"mafia guy said between his laughs. Then their laughs finally reduced to light chuckles and mafia guy got up from his godfather chair and extended his hand for me and Grace to shake. I was pissed off, but fortunately I still had my manners and shook his hand,unlike someone.

"And who might these lovely ladies be?"he asked with his accent as he shook Grace's hand.

"I'm Bella and this is Grace, my sister,"I introduced ourselves.

"Oh,hello there, I'm Fernando,"he introduced himself in a light friendly tone.

"Sorry about that,couldn't help it,"he said and slightly turned his eyes to a sniggering Alex beside him.

"Anything I could help you with today?"he asked. Now I was getting slightly nervous again and glanced at Grace and Alex,who were glancing at me waiting for me to tell the tale. Why do I always have to be the mature one?After two minutes of a stare off,I eventually gave up,sighed dramatically and casually sat down on a chair in front of the desk,bringing my feet up on the other chair. I waited two seconds for dramatic effect before speaking.
