Count on Me

Chapter 33

Rowan's POV:

Calan didn't stay long after our makeout session,  but it still pained me to see him go,  for I knew he was off to Yuki,  yeah I know it was just a show,  and that out feelings were mutual,  but I was starting to doubt if this was the right idea,  I mean,  I have been working on this for almost nine months without any luck.

And I am considering changing my tactics. 

Mabe more field work.  To be honest,  there has not been any Scorpion activity for a while,  and that has me conserned,  Scorpion is not one to give up,  which only means he is up to something. 

I have been observing Laurel thoroughly and her father,  and there's just. .. Nothing new., its all just daily routine.  Although I have to admit that Laurel and Jay have been busy,  but I give them their privacy. 

Things we lost to the flames,

  things we'll never see again,

all that we have. ...

My ringtone interupted my thoughts,  and I hurried to the kitchento get to my phone.  I grabed it and glanced at the screen. ...'Unknown Number'... It reand.

Strange,  I thought.

"Hello? " I answered.

"Bonjour,  Madmoiselle.  I'm so glad I found you,  you know you are a very busy person " Some guy said in a strange french accent. The voice sounded familiar yet I couldn't quite place it.

"Who is this ?? " I asked .

"Let's call me a fan . Your biggest fan in fact , I was thinking we should arrange a meeting ." The voice said .

"No , I don't know you . So no ..." I said firmly , trying to finish this conversation as soon as possible.

"It was not a question Madmoiselle , we will meet in an hour . I have some information that may be of value to you." He cut me off , but his statement caught my attention .

"Alright I'm listening ." I replied sceptical.

"One hour , I find you , not the other way around . I look forward to seeing you again ." The voice said finally.

"Yes , but..."

" Au revoir" he said and the line went dead .

I was really freaking out about the phone call , not about what he said but rather about the fact that the voice sounded so familiar . And he said again , which meant that I have met him before , but where and when .

I raked my brain for any evidence , any trace as to why that voice sounded so familiar ? And why I couldn't remember it ?

One hour , he said , but what was I supposed to do for one hour ?

.

.

.

One hour passes , two hours passes , and no sign of the random french dude , so I started to simmer down a bit . And I started to suspect that it might have been some kid doing a prank call , but then again he did say he had inform for me , so how would a random stranger know what I needed .

But that idea faded after another half hour , that was until the phone rang again . ..

With shaking hands I picked it up .

"Hello ? " I answered , trying to keep the panic out of my voice .

"Hey Row , what's up ?? " I heard Laurel's voice on the other end of the line , and a sigh of relief escaped from my lips .
