In The Name Of Trouble

Chapter 61

"See I told you. Completely destroyed."

"..... You always this useless?" He said as he bent down and stared at a piece of broken wood.

"Thank you. What are you looking for? There's nothing Thomas." She said as she knelt next to him

"There's always something that gets left behind-"

"In a robbery, or a crime. This is a fucking explosion." She immediately got up

"Isn't there a data backup bank here?"

"I'm sorry a what?"

"Every agency has one. Its a place where all data from the agency stores itslef in a building."

"What are you implying?"

"There must be a footage of the person who planted the bomb. That guy wouldn't care covering up cause its going to get destroyed anyway. There's gotta be a small buildin a few miles from here."

"Maybe. Ask that Jersey of yours."

"I will. Why don't you go around the place. See if you find anything."

"What? Why?"

"Will you stop asking questions?!?"

"Fine!!!" She stormed away.

"Oh God." He took out his phone and dialed Jersey.

"Hey its Thomas."

"Yeah man. What can I help you with?"

"Do we have a data bank?"

"I'm sorry a what?"

"Data bank. Like a backup of all our data and media?"

"None that I know of Thomas. Why?"

"Just needed some footage. Thanks anyway."

"No problem."

"Found anything?"

"Other than debris? No Ginger I did not."

"Ok well I got no news about a data bank."

"Well ain't that sad. How about we go home? And.... I don't know.... Sleep?"

"No. We're going to find the bank?"

"No. You're gonna find the bank. I'm going home." She turned and walked away.

"Oh yeah? How will you go?"

"I'll walk!!!" Her voice faded more and more.

"You'll walk 27 kilometers?"

"Yes!!!" Her voice sounded farther and farther. He looked up from his phone to see that she had left the building.... What's left of it anyway. Thomas had a smile on his face. He went out and saw Cash walking with her hands in her pockets a few feet away.

"Need a ride?!?" Thomas yelled from his place. Cash looked back at him and continued walking.

"Ok then!!! Just walk!!! 27 kilometers!!!"

"I will!!!!"

Thomas chuckled and got in his car and drove up to Cash who kept walking. Thomas slowed down to drive the car at her speed.

"Hop in."

"No. I want to go home."

"I'll drive you there."

"No you won't."

"I will. I'm serious. Come on in."

"Nah." She walked faster and went few steps ahead of Thomas.

"See you at my house!!!" Thomas pressed the accelerator and sped off. He looked at the side mirror to see Cash who just looked at him as she walked and stuck out her pink tongue at him.

"Let's see how long she'll last." Thomas told himself. He took a turn and saw Cash going the other way.

"Cash!!!" Thomas leaned out his window "Home's this way!!!" She just held out her middle finger and walked farther away from him.

"Ok bye!!!" Let's hope she's going to come home safely.

Hope is a really strong word for someone like her.

Yep. Hope.
