In The Name Of Trouble

Chapter 62

Where is the girl? She hasn't arrived yet. Its been 7 hours. His eyes were drooping. Shouldn't have woken up so early to see the building.

Cash's right. Its useless. Might as well forget it.

Yeah right!!! Another voice said in his head. Just forget it, why should you care? Its just that someone blew up your job and many of your colleagues are dead and your mentor. And.....

Ok I get it. Shouldn't give up. Thanks voice.

Anytime.

Without his own approval, his body fell limp and his eyes closed.
...........

Go back to him? No way!!!

This is my one chance to say hello to my own freedom. She walked and stopped realizing that she has no idea where to go. She took out her phone and turned the GPS on and began to follow the route which took her to the nearest bar.

Might as well drink before taking off again. There was one a few miles from here. Guess I'll walk.

This bar looked awesome. Totally worth wasting my energy. And good thing I had Ginger's credit card. I'm broke right now.

"Wassup Y'ALL!!!" I made an entrance. It was noisy anyways so I'm just going to get ignored. The bar was a definite fave of mine. It had cool wallpaper and neon lights.

A female bartender came up to me. She hardly wore clothes. A bikini? Its freezing in here. She had a tray in her hand. In that tray were glow sticks of three colors. There was a note below each bundle. The green glow sticks said 'Single', yellow for 'Complicated' and red for 'Taken'

"Please take one mam." She said as she smiled and put the tray forward. Guess no one bothered asking my ID. I smiled at her and took the red one "Thank you." I said and left to the drink area.

"Give me the strongest booze you got." I said as I kept my glow stick on the table and took my phone out. I got a text from Eira. She sent a pic of herself and another blondie, must be that Chris she was talking about. The Eiffel Tower served as a background.

Hi gurl!!! How's life?

I looked at the text and smiled. God I miss them.

Good man!! That's Chris?!?! Wow girl have fun!!!

You'll go to India soon right? I'm worried about you.

Relax I'm fine. That's Chris!?!

I know right!?!? He's good isn't he?

He's amazing. Good catch girl.

Thanks. Gurl promise me something.

Anything.

You'll leave the country and get a boy of your dreams.

I can promise you the first one. Second one..... Fuck it.

C'mon Cash.

Gotta go. Drinks have arrived!!!

You're still drinking?!?!

Buh bye. 👋

"Here you go." The drinks had arrived. The bartender looked at the glow stick and me and looked beside me.

"Where's your partner?"

"Not here." I kept the phone aside and took a long chug on the glass.

"Be careful girl. That's a good strong brand. Might not want to overdose if you're the only one."

I ignored him. My phone rang. Ginger. I didn't attend it and it kept ringing. I muted the call and it continued vibrating. Oh cut the damn call already!!! It didn't stop. I took it and pressed the ignore button.

He's not going to ruin my life.
..............

What's up with this girl!?! She isn't picking up the phone. Oh my god!!!! I trusted her. Stupid stupid stupid. I have to find her.

Where will she usually be? A bar. But I'm pretty sure she didn't come here. She doesn't even look the type to walk a mile. Oh lord save me.

The lord answered while the phone rang. It was Cash.

"Hello" the voice was masculine "Is this Ginger?"

"Wha.... Yes that's me."

"I'm from the Friends bar at Lincoln Avenue. Will you please come here and pick the girl up?" I heard glass shattering and someone screaming in the back ground. Sounded like.... Oh god no.

"What was that!?!"

"You're girl's gone crazy."
.........

"Please come here fast."

"Don't worry I will be there." A smile crept up his face.

"I will be there as soon as possible."
