The Ex-Wife

Six

The next day I awoke to find another face in my own, my eyes snapped open and as if I was shocked and I flinched away. Shaking my head my memory came back to me and I remembered what was happening

Being shot at, going to my ex-husband, nearly drowning in the lake, coming to this hotel, that snotty receptionist, drinking, arguing with Brick... that note on my necklace...

Enjoying the silence without Brick complaining I decided to look over the note that conveniently got stuck to my necklace. I grabbed it off the table and sat down.

'Influence the Robin TE'

Hmm okay let me think does this link to the Scott Harper story? Well Mitch told me the money was stolen after he killed himself? (Even though he did deny it afterwards but I don't believe him) But also the story I was given to report on said that the money was stolen before the 'suicide'? This made no sense. Okay think again Blossom... right what does Robin mean? If by some chance Mitch was right and my suspicions are correct as well, and Scott was in fact murdered then someone will have had to spread the word that it was the other way round. Theft then suicide, rather than Murder then theft. In that case someone was influenced to believe this 'cover up' story.

Okay that makes sense so far, right back to Robin and TE, if the world was to be influenced how would someone do that? Think Blossom use your god damn brain!

My eyes scanned around the room me and Brick where staying in, my pink eyes landed on a newspaper that had been slipped under our door, probably by the hotel service. I really couldn't think so I grabbed the paper and sat down, Oh! It was the Townsville Edits I wonder if any of my stories have made it in this issue? I began flicking through the paper when I saw something I rushed back and spread the paper flat on the table.

The Director of Townsville Edits Robin Thomas has broke records in the number of sales of the newspaper in the past 15 years...

The article continued on but my eyes remained glued to 3 certain words

'Townsville Edits Robin'

'Robin... TE'

I made sense! To influence the world people would use the media! Someone has influence my boss Robin Thomas the Director of the newspaper Townsville Edits... TE! If I want to find out who is behind everything my best bet is to go talk to Robin! Oh My God I had to go! I had to-

I looked over to the bed where my Ex-Husband slept, Ugh he was so lazy! But with my new discovery I was too giddy

"BRICK! wake up!" I yelled skipping over to him, I shook his shoulders and looked at him; he peeked an eye open and looked at me. A goofy smile creped over his face he swung an arm around my waist and pulled me towards him.

"Eepp!" I squeaked when I fell onto him, I put my hands on his chest and tried to pull away from him but his grip was too strong and I felt heat rapidly rise to my face.

"Hey Baby" His voice was layered with sleep and was husky but before I could yell at him to let me go, to my utter horror our hotel door opened and a small maid walked in. She stopped and gasped when she saw me on Brick and her dainty hand flew to her mouth.

"Oh my goodness I'm sorry Ms" She mumbled and left

"No-" But before I could explain she slammed the door, Brick jerked and released his grip on me as fell to the floor. Brick sat up and shook his head.

"What you doing down there?" He asked I rubbed me head and stood up I shot him an angry glare

"Never mind" I growled I saw him roll his eyes but I ignored him and turned and sat back at the table. He swung he legs off the bed and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
