-----------------------------------
Dragging myself every single day to work and to keep me going was my main task. At work I would simulate a happy Bella. Yes I would simulate a happy girl. My Life was boring, but at least I was alive.
Our Agency was everytime in charge when some Businessmen or women, authors or even Professors needed an assistant -mostly- in typing. Since I was a passionate reader myself I was the fastest one who could read a novel in one night and summarize quite efficent the story the next day for my boss. In typing I was the second fastest. Well the loud and very outgoing Tanya was the No.1 my boss was very fond of hers. One of thos who everyone loved, a blond angel with strawberry tints in her hair. A body to kill for and a smile men died to see it. Every night there was a new one who would ask her to bring her sound and safely home in -of course- his shiny new car.
I was typing for Professor Volturi today. I needed to finish it before lunch and send it to him via mail to discuss the changes during our evening appointment. Whilst I was sitting in my cube and listening to chopin with an earplug in my right ear. I felt suddenly a hand on my left shoulder. This freaked my out.
Instantly a scream scaped my mouth.
"Jeez. Mike! You freaked the hell out of me!" I declared touched and holding my own forehead for support.
A snicker escaped his mouth "So easy to scare, huh! Well Swan, I have a special task for you. Jessica just got a call with an explicit wish to get you as a typist. Have you ever worked for an Author called Jane V.?"
I turned fully to him. Irritated by his question. "No, not that I remind of."
"That is interesting. Well, you should be there around 3 pm. Does this interfere with your other appointment? Nah, I think Professor Volturi can handle a week without you can't he?" He winked at me.
A cold shiver went down my spine. I hate it when my makes comments like that. I am not the one who is going around. Only because I got this precious little silver watch from Professor Volturi.
"No. I will explain and reschedule the appointment with him" I turned around to shield my angry face from Mike. He could be such an asshole but I was sure that Jessica was behind the sudden attacks. She should go for him and leave me fucking alone. I was tired of these games of hers.
After a quick lunch. This meant an Apple from the tree behind my house and some nuts I collected I was ready for my special. Task.
I went to Jessicas Office. She was sitting there doing her nails. "Ah, Bella. Here is the adress. Be punctual! And kind" She winked at me. "Have you something in your eye?" I asked annoyed. "No! I was just making clear that it seems you fullfill other qualities too."
I couldn't believe it. Was she calling me a hore? I tried to calm myself. Smiled and answered "that is exactly the reason why I sit over there and type while other have to get on their knees"
And with that I turned around and was gone.
I went to the arranged transportation- a taxi and looked at the paper
Jane V.Olympic discovery trail W4th Str
The driver allready knew where to go. This was a comfort. When we had to visit the clients the agency allways provided pick ups.
Half an hour later we arrived to the House of Jane V.
it was rather a smaller Mansion than a house. With a direct and open view to the ocean. Hidden behind the curtain of thousands of leaves, a green wall, was blocking the whole estate from the eyes of any curious neighbour....
I thanked the driver and told him, that I would call as soon as I can for pick up.
The driveway from the old Gate was white...white stones under my feet were cracking like a kid who ate the candy by crushing it with its teeth... I stood there looking around, the wind was dancing in my hair almost taking my hat for a dance. The sun light was breaking through the green roof of the way. The leaves were shielding it almost completly from the ground. This was the reason for the white stones...it made the way brighter and lighter. Otherwise it would have looked like entering a green hell.
Four very wide steps were framing the entrance of this old mansion. I slowly walked them up and knocked on the door. No response.
Damn. There was no bell. Oh, May there is an additional note on the Paper. Quickly I opened my handbag and took the neatly folded note out.
On the back of the paper was written.
"If Ms. Jane is not there, help yourself in. The door is open"
I sighed. I hated to go into someones houses without any witness. I don't want to be accused of stealing something...so slowly I pushed the door open.
"Anyone at home?" I tried to look around but it was too dark so I searched for the lights. Immediately I fliched back when the light was bright and opening a new world of antiques crossing high modern Art. Why should anyone leave the door open when they had such treasures in the entrance hall...
"Ms. Jane. Its Bella from the secretary agency"
I looked down to the note. "Wait for her"
Ok. So I was going to wait. I took a seat on the old church bench. This must be a very old piece of cleric art...I think about 1700 may be earlier.
Glancing on my watch after waiting for an eternity I felt anxious. I stood up and walked to the reception room and there it hit me. There was a body. A dead Corps of a man.
Oh my god. What should I do. He is dead, pale and blood was on his cheast. And then the shock set in. When I turned around to run outside there was a women. Blond very arrogantly looking at me.
"Who are you and what do you do in my house?"
"There is a dead man." And with that my nerves finally gave in. I ran outside the house to the gate on the street and was almost hit by a car. I fell hard on the pavement. My knees were bleeding, my head hurting and I was almost loosing it.
"Miss?! Miss are you allright? Are you OK?!"
I heard this very beautiful voice and could only answer. "Dead man, please help me" and this was the end.
