Ace

Chapter 2

I carefully walk up the stairs to my small apartment and as I reach for the doorknob I freeze. Someone has been here, but of course I already knew that.

It was my boss. Well, it technically wasn't my boss; it was someone who worked for him though.

 I dig my keys out of my pocket and put them in the lock. I cautiously turn the knob and let the door creak open. The person is gone.

I put my keys on the long wooden table to the right of the door and turn on the hallway lights. The lights are a little dim for my liking and make the hallway look eerie. I walk a little ways down the hallway and make a right into my living room and walk past the couch into the kitchen and flick on the light. I look on my kitchen table and sure enough their it is. A black rose. As I walk closer I see the note that is always under the rose.

It reads…  

 Ace,

Nice work. Your payment has already been placed in your account.

 Below the not there are two word. Actually there are two names

 Keller Williams.

 I sigh and pick up the note and take it into my office which is more like a closet if I do say so myself, and I put the note through the shredder. I walk back into my kitchen to see my cat, Daisy, playing with the rose.

 "Bad kitty!" I say rushing over and scooping up the small cat in my arms. All she does is purrs in response and rubs up against my face. I sigh. I cant stay mad a the little monster; she's just to darn cute. With her big green eyes, small gray body with a white chest, paws, and belly.

 I take Daisy to my room and place her gently on my queen sized bed and head into the bathroom to take my shower. After my shower and changing into my pajamas. I lay down on the bed and Daisy cuddles into my side. I give her a good scratch under her chin; then focus my attention to the ceiling. I will start my research on this Keller Williams tomorrow.

It's been three hours and I have not been able to get one wink of sleep.

 Don't think about Jeremy,

 don't think about Jeremy,

don't think about Jeremy  

 I keep chanting this to myself for another half hour and finally exhaustion finally creeps up on me and I drift into a deep sleep.

I see a face. I can barely make it out from all the smoke,

but I know the persons face.

I know his face. He calls out my name in desperation.

His voice is filled with pain and sadness. I run to reach him but the hallway grows longer. I run faster. He gets farther away.

"No!" I scream, "no! Stop come back…"

 I jolt awake with his name on my lips.

Jake.
