24 Dreams Of You And Me

Levi turned to see a guy around his age with a brown package in his hand.

"I just saw Linda, what were you doing alone in her office?"

"I was looking for her. Where did you see her, again?"

"Show me your ID." The guy demanded. He was suspicious, he had never seen this man before and everyone knew the rules, 'no entering into the office if Linda isn't inside.'

Levi checked his pocket. "Ah, it's not here. Maybe I dropped it inside."

"Fine, go find it." The man said and put the parcel down. "You're not leaving until I see your ID."

Levi stared at him for a second. "Alright. Why don't you come help me find it faster, Mr Trust Issues?"

The man didn't reply, he just followed Levi inside. As soon he passed the door, Levi moved away from him and pointed towards the desk. "Check that side, I'll try by the door."

The man went in looking for the card when Levi suddenly locked the door.

"Hey! What are you-"

Levi punched him right on his jaw and the man fell on the ground, unconscious.

"There." He huffed. "My ID on your face."

Now Levi was on the clock. As soon as Linda returned and found an unconscious guy in her office, she'll raise alarm.

He quickly skimmed through her registers and found out the truck number leaving for Houston in ten minutes.

"2665." He mumbled and ran out.

He kept chanting the number and searching for the truck and he finally found it in front of the gate.

Three men were loading packets inside.

He walked to them and said, "New orders, guys." He pointed to the leanest man, "Him and I will finish loading this truck, you two go over to 1457."

"But we're almost done here." The big man out of the two said.

Levi shrugged. "I don't ask questions, pal. I just do what I'm asked to do."

Even though a little skeptic, the two guys went away. Leaving Levi with just one guy. He couldn't ask them all to leave, would've made it suspicious.

"Never seen you around. New here?" The lean guy asked.

Levi smirked and walked closer to him. "Trust me, dude. Tomorrow you'll be happy you've never seen me around."

"Wha-"

Levi knocked him unconscious and pulled up a rope from his pocket.

"Sorry, mate. But you aren't even real." He tied his legs and hands and wrapped a cloth around his mouth.

Levi checked once to make sure no one was watching him. The truck will leave in 5 minutes. He had to hurry before a driver showed up.

He climbed into the back of the truck and soon he found the box named for Tracie Pines in Houston.

"Hey, beautiful." He said to the box and picked it up. The package wasn't big and was handy enough for him to walk fast with.

Once Levi reached the car, he saw Alyssa already leaning against it. She saw him coming out in the employee uniform with a box in hand.

She immediately jumped to her feet and opened the door.

"You got it!" She chirped happily.

"Remains of a witch." Levi said and placed the box in the backseat. "Let's get out of here before they notice things."
