"Maddie, where are we going?" I persisted. Since she had pulled me out of her apartment we had been driving in her car to somewhere.
"Didn't I mention where we were going?" she asked staring at the road.
"No," I said shortly. The blinding headlights of the cars passing us by made me close my eyes.
"We're going to my ex's."
"What?!?" My eyes shot back open and I stared over at her. She looked at me and gave a weak smile. "Why are we going there?"
"Oh Patrick relax," she said. "He's not even home."
"How do you know?" I didn't even know her ex. For all I know he could be a body builder, and let's be honest I wouldn't stand a chance.
"He's a DJ at a club downtown," she said. "He won't get home 'til at least 3."
I brushed my hair back and readjusted my cap. "So your plan is to break into his house and get these pictures back?"
"Well, it's not really breaking in if I have a key," she said smiling.
"It won't be to the police," I muttered.
"Patrick stop worrying," she said taking a exit. "We'll be in and out before you know it."
I hope so.
......
The stairs creaked as we walked up them. Maddie kept darting her eyes to me to tell me to be quiet, but what was I suppose to do? I don't control the stairs. They were against me.
Climbing five flights of stairs late at night isn't what I call fun and by the time I had stepped up the last step I was exhausted.
"Patrick stop breathing so loud," Maddie hissed looking around. "My ex doesn't have too friendly neighbors as I recall."
My eyes darted to the surrounding doors just waiting to see an angry man holding an ax or someone ready to chop my head off.
Maddie inserted her key into the door and wiggled it around. As she was concentrating I saw she bite her tongue and close one eye. I smiled at this and checked one more time for the axed man.
"Got it," Maddie said turning to me and smiling. She opened the door very slowly. It creaked once and she stopped suddenly waiting for silence to come again. Then she sighed and pushed it open to let us in.
Once we were in she turned around and shut it just as slowly. I surveyed the apartment looking at the fine things this boyfriend had accommodated. He had a nice flat screen TV with a mantel. Who the fuck had mantels anymore? I went over to it and saw a couple of awards on it. One was for winning All-State Track finals. I picked it up and looked at the date.
"1995!" I gasped. This kid had a trophy from 1995. "Hey Maddie look at this," I said.
Maddie, who was still by the door, shot her glance over to me and walked over. "Patrick what are you doing?" She said taking the trophy from my hands. "Don't touch anything!"
"Sorry," I said as she placed the trophy back. 1995? Huh, what a loser! Maybe I could take him in that fight.
"Patrick," Maddie said clutching my shoulder to make sure I was listening. "I think the pictures will either be in the cabinet over there..." she pointed to a cabinet placed behind the kitchen table. "...or in his bedroom."
"I'll take the cabinet," I offered quickly. I did not want to see this guys' bedroom. It was probably a shrine to himself.
"Fine," she said disappearing down a nearby hallway.
