LIV/E (Rewriting)

Chapter 9

Dorinda pulled up to Miles' apartment building and Olivia sat staring at the front door.

"Is this the right place?" Dorinda asked confused.

"Yeah, it is Dor, thank you very much," She thanked Dorinda and proceeded to climb out of the car.

Olivia walked up to the intercom and aggressively buzzed Miles's apartment.

"Who is it?" his voice scratched over the intercom.

"Its me," Olivia answered vaguely.

The door buzzed and she pushed it open. She walked in and smiled at Walter who happened to be this delightful and sweet old man who lived just a floor below Miles.

Olivia and Walter haf never spoken before but then again no one ever heard him speak.

They had a sense of familiarity, occasionally making eye contact and sharing a warm smile as they passed each other in the hallway.

Olivia got into the elevator and pushed the button for Miles' floor. She took a few steps back and sighed.

The elevator dinged opened and she walked out while shoving her hands into her pockets.

She walked down the lengthy corridor till she got to apartment 4B and began  banging on the door.

He answered the door with a fatigued look on his face.

He looked like a mess sporting a white baggy shirt and grey sweat pants.

"Did anyone follow you here?" he asked as he yawned.

Olivia rolled her eyes and pushed him out of the way and shoved into his apartment.

Pizza boxes lied on the floor coupled with empty beer cans thrown everywhere.

She failed to notice the smelly Stuart, who lied fast asleep on the couch.

Olivia gave Miles a discerning look.

"What?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"When are you gonna tell that loser to get a job?" She scolded.

"He's job is always being available to day drink," Miles joked.

But Olivia wasn't amused, instead she slammed the tracking decive onto his sticky kitchen table. He looked at it and his eyes widened.

"How did you find that?" He asked surprised.

"Wolf did!" She exclaimed.

"I cant believe you would do this without telling me," She stated angrily.

"You don't understand, just... Just... Come look at this," He replied and pulled her to his desk which held his computer.

There was a blinking red light on the screen.

"We found out where his warehouse is situated, Q we got him!" Miles shook from excitement.

"We got nothing!" She yelled.

"The moment you go poking around that warehouse, he'll know it was me and all my work goes to shit!" She continued.

"The sooner you get out of this the better Q," He argued.

"What? First you wanted me on this case now you feel its to dangerous. Miles I'm not this little girl who needs protection, I can take care of myself," She argued back.

At that moment Stuart sluggishly slipped off the couch.

"Thats my cue to leave," He said as he stuffed his feet into his shoes.
