The trilogy of Gotham.

Part two

Early morning the three of us race uphill along the trail of Gotham which Mr smith claims is forbidden.

Am way ahead and they both lag behind but I make sure am a reasonable eyeshot ahead so we keep track of each other.

Its creepy as we go miles uphill but when am on a run,I forget everything around me. I feel like am flying, the flight communicates with me and I embrace it and it becomes part of me.

By 8am I open the store ready for the brand-new day. The routine is dusting the shelves, check the cameras and open the store as instructed and that's what I do. Then I sit behind the counter attaining a newspaper.
I come across blue eyes directly aimed at me, am frozen.

"Oh you," Ms smith startles me,I almost jump off my skin.

"Yes,you scared the hell out of me," composing myself.

"That guy in that newspaper is captivating not so? We should go for the show today," she pleads.

"What show?"

"Please do Kath am sure you'll love it like anyone else," her husband chimes in. His behind her now,arms around her waist.

"Its this guy called Alec, his captivatingly handsome, you could tell."
Then the image of Alex comes to my mind, probably this Alec is not Alex.

She walks closer to me and whispers,"his the most handsome guy you'll ever see,"and saying that sends a chill down my spine.

Something about this guy was mysterious.

With that am left wondering about the Alec guy all day long and only realize that there's someone staring at me, across the desk.

Its the Alex guy.

"Hey how you doing?"he asks.

"Am good," am looking down hopping he'd read the signal and go away not wanting Ms Smith to read between the line of what and how I met Alex.
His really cute but my earlier profile was probably a turn off for him.

"How did you get me?" I ask him

"Nothing about this town of shan is private," Ms smith and Alex say in unison.

"What's that supposed to me," turning to Ms Smith.

"No nothing." But that answer isn't satisfying and I know deep down they lied. This town indeed was mysterious.

Alex drops a card at the counter and walks out, I stare at it.
Its a note.
Please make it to the trail by 6am tomorrow.
And that's obvious am to always take north of that trail every mornings with Ms smith no matter the rumors.
