It was very early on a Saturday morning. Carter was asleep all alone at home again.
His parents had gone to work - Every day was work for them, except Sunday. They always left Cater at home alone and he seemed to like it because he never complained about it once. He always took the time to do something creative like learn new Python codes, and at times he would do a little bit of freelancing if he needed money.
“Ding Dung!!!!” The bell rung very loudly, but not loud enough to wake Carter up from his slumber.
It rung again but this time for a long, that it could upset Cater out of sleep. He sluggishly stood up from bed, going downstairs to open the door. Before getting there, the bell rung again.
“I am coming!!!” Carter said, even though he was just a little bit vocal, but loud enough to make the ringer patient.
“Hey!!!” Angela, on the other side of the door said, after Carter opened it.
“Didn’t think I’d be seeing you here this early.” he replied after he kissed her.
“So have you been able to do it?” Angela asked
“Slept on it yesterday.” He replied.
He continued;
“I did a full search and there really wasn’t anything relating to…” he was cut out by his phone when it rung. He drew it out of his pocket to see who it was.
“It’s Smith.” he said as he picked the call and walked to the kitchen.
Angela grabbed a box of juice from the refrigerator then sat at the dining table to listen to the conversation.
“Oh okay. I will be there in a short while.” Carter said just before cutting the call.
“He wants to see me at his place. He said it’s urgent and that it’s about you.” he said to Angela.
Angela regurgitated some of the juice back to her mouth, from hearing it was about her.
“Urgent? And about me?!” She exclaimed
“He said something about a tattoo store” Carter said looking at Angela feeling a little tensed.
“Could it be…?” He was saying as Angel cut him off
“Probably. Just keep your cool so he doesn’t feel suspicious.”
Inside of everyone is always a secret. Angela and Carter were definitely up to something, and were hiding from Smith for some reason. Smith on the other hand had found out something about Angela, something very important that Carter had to hear immediately. Carter suspected it was what they kept from Smith, but stayed patient to hear from Smith himself. He cleaned up and headed straight to Smith’s place.
At Smith’s place…
Mr. Green was about leaving for his early morning jogs when he saw Smith in the sitting room. The television was switched off, Smith’s phone was on the table and he was just sitting there doing nothing which was very unusual of him on Saturday mornings. Mr. Green walked up to him and asked;
“What’s the matter son?”
“Uh… Remember when I asked you about getting a tattoo?” Smith asked.
“Yes…” Mr. Green replied.
“Wasn’t that before Christine’s death?” He asked
