UNSIGHTED

CLAUDIA NUMEN

"Cal?" I called out to him because he looked so engrossed in his thoughts and I was worried he would even forget he was driving.

"yes?"he answered as he continued driving.

"focus on the road you look distracted"

"oh sorry I just got a lot on my mind I hope we get some answers soon"

"me too innocent people are dying and so many people are becoming involved soon we need a solution fast" as he swayed the car to a large building NUMEN HQ the words at the front of the building read. "I didn't know you guys have so many companies that need a headquarters?" I said as Callan parked at the parking space written his name and we got out of the car.

"yeah we deal with a lot from websites, foodstuffs clothing to vehicles so yeah we need a headquarters" he said as we entered the building and everyone was referring to him as sir as we walked on to the office of his mother.

After entering the elevator to a couple of floors we eventually got out and came into a very big exclusive office as we went to the reception. Wow! If I worked here,,,, I would never complain about life

"welcome sir its been long how can we assist you?"

"Thanks Stephanie and yeah its been so long surprised this place hasn't changed yet anyway where is my mother I would like to have a talk with her?"

"don't worry miss Claudia is in one second I inform her you are here" as the pretty receptionist called "okay maam I'll send him right in" as she put the phone down "okay this way sir"

"no need Steph I got this" as he reached out for my hand "anyway thanks" as we headed to the main office.

We got in and the place looked like state house itself with very comfortable looking couches and an amazing interior design as Callan's mom came in towards us.

"what a pleasant surprise son I thought you hated this place?" as she hugged him "oh Zynn hello there its been some days since I saw you" as we hugged.

"hello to you too maam" I said to her.

"yeah mum I still hate this place but we have a very important matter we want to talk to you about that's why we are here"

"oh okay come on let's sit down,,, coffee or anything" looking at the both of us but rejected "okay one minute" as she called someone "Stephanie make sure no one comes to my office am currently engaged in a very important meeting understand? Okay" as she put the phone down "okay am guessing if you are here" pointing at me "it has something to do with the ongoing battle?"

"yes maam we would like some clarifications from you if that's okay"

"well I don't think I have a choice" she said "I mean my son is involved anyway so what is going on?" as we looked at each other with Callan before he started narrating the whole ordeal and am not sure but to me his mother didn't look surprised as I thought she would.

"so? That's it?" she asked.

"yeah we want you to help us with information you are the only other person we can think of" I said.

"well am happy that you came me and that you trust me but its been long since I got associated with that world and so as much as I would want to help,,,, I don't think I can"

"but mom,,,,,"

"I know son,,,, believe me if I knew something I would tell you whatever you need to hear but sadly I don't"

Callan looked at me as he stretched out his hand to meet mine but my gaze was on Callan's mum,,,, something about her is not right.

"babe?"he called out " am so sorry this is so disappointing"
