Roman Reeves

I sat at the table staring at the papers with Jayln again. I was at a lost of words. It's been three days since the visit to the lawyer's office. I honestly didn't know how to feel about everything. Jayln was just as shocked as I was. My mind couldn't help but reflect on that day...

Jayln and I approach the front desk, looking around at the the many Caucasians in suits just moving about. We stand in front of the desk of a middle aged woman. She was typing away on her computer not giving us any attention. I looked Jayln making sure he was seeing what I was.

" Can you see me? " He asked.

I nodded. " Clear as day. Am I visible? " I questioned back.

" Very much so. " He replied, " Um excuse us. " He spoke to the woman. She held one finger up, and continued to type away. Jayln squinted his eyes, tilting his head slightly in annoyance. Once she was done typing she looked at us.

" How may I help you today. " She plastered a fake courtesy smile across her duck lips.

I happily obliged her. " Yes! We are here to see Mr. Rossi. "

She turned back to her computer, and began to type once more. " Names? "

" Reeves, Roman " I answered.

She looked at the screen scrolling her mouse. " Your name isn't on his appointment list. Mr. Rossi is a very busy man, and doesn't do walk ins. "

" Lady he sent a letter to us. " I say, reaching into my pocket pulling out the envelope.

" Still have to be on the appointment list. I'm sorry. I can schedule one for you now if... "

Jayln cut her off mid-sentence. " No we don't. We came all the way up here. He should be expecting us. I'm going to need for you to call him and check. I'm about four, five seconds from getting really ghetto in your establishment. Do you really want that? "

She eyed Jayln up and down before grabbing the phone up from the receiver. I raised my fist up slightly as he pounded it. She waited as the phone rung several times. He answered and she took the phone from off speaker.

" Sorry to bother you. You have a young man down here saying he has an appointment with you. His name is... " She looks at me.

" Reeves. " I repeat, pursing my lips. This bitch is being funny

" Last name Reeves. " She says into the receiver. There was silence from her lips for a second before she nods her head. " Yes sir. Will do. " she hangs up the phone, and stands to her feet. " If you two could follow me. "

" That's more like it. " I smiled following suit.

We walked through a long corridor, passing several doors with Gold plaques on them. We reached the last door on the hall which had two plaques on it. The woman knocked on the door three times before entering. We entered inside behind her. Coming into view was a stocky black man sitting behind a desk. His face was stern, and he looked to be a serious businessman. My mind was racing with possibilities of why I was here.
