Chapter 2

"So where are you headed to exactly ma'am?" The cab driver asked Rebecca.

"Work?" She replied wandering where the discussion was headed.

She didn't like talking too much. She preferred using her time to think, strategize and develop herself and others.

"Oh yeah, of course." He looked at her through the rear view mirror. She was looking out of the window.

There was something about this woman that seemed to cause him to know more about her, to know the reason for her behaviour.

He obviously knew she was in a hurry to wherever it was that she was headed but right now, the calm aura that surrounded her and the way she comported herself was astonishing. She was late to work.

Most passengers ranted about every little thing. Why there had to be a traffic jam today, why the train had to cross this very moment, why he drove so slow and other complaints. This particular woman was silent and still calm. For some strange reason, it really struck him.

Rebecca admired the running city as the cab drove pass. She wondered what excuse she'd tell her boss for coming late.

"When you get there, the holy spirit will tell you what to say."

The words stirred in her spirit. Of course God had it in control. Every tiny detail of her life gave him something to think about. She had no right to fret. His presence never leaves her.

She hoped everything would work for her good. Her hopes wouldn't be dashed because they were on a solid rock. One that did not know how to break and that never broke.

Eldy followed the cab bumper to bumper. Only pausing when the taxi paused. He didn't want to loose this taxi. The taxi crossed under the green traffic light and as he was about to cross, the light turned red.

Eldy slammed his fist on the steering wheel in frustration. How was he going to find her now? What if she wasn't even the lady?

His tummy growled. He decided to forget about the woman. If she was the one, he would see her again sometime. If.
He continued following his GPS. He had gone off track by a few turns. The GPS automatically altered his original route and used his current route to lead him to the French restaurant.

His phone on the passenger seat began to vibrate. There would be only one person calling him at this time. Aiden. He used his left hand to control the steering wheel and he used his other hand to connect the phone to the car speaker.

"Hello Sir." He greeted trying to be calm. He wondered how his master would think that he had already found a lady but hoped that the call was for something else.

Something like aborting this mission or something like informing him about Isaac's arrival to the city.

"Well, Eldy how are you?" The confident voice filled the car.

"I'm doing very well sir. Thank you for asking." Eldy calmly replied.

"How is the search going? Any progress?  Or are you relaxing from your fast trip?" Aiden asked his assistant.

Eldy understood that 'relaxing from your fast trip' was a sarcastic remark and his master expected him to be on the move.
He stopped the car for the traffic light to turn green.

"Of course not. I am on my way to pick up breakfast. I hope I'll see a woman worthy enough. God is with me. He will surely make a way." Eldy explained. In that moment, he realized that he had the backing and leading of the Lord of heavens armies. His confidence increased. He became extra sure he would find a lady anytime soon.
