Through The Years

Guns up

I didn't even to try to look back at what I had just left. It was obvious he had just become more of a narcissistic "man". I didn't want to stay knowing the state of my drunk friends wasn't looking to hot and we would have to hurry back to the hotel. I managed to get everyone off each other, which is very hard considering they weren't done with their drunk make out sessions. The guards and I got all the crew members into the car and off we went. That was more of a productive work out than I could've ever done in a gym. I really needed a drink and seeing that Morgan still had a bottle I grabbed it and chugged that bad boy down until my throat burned.
Looked like I was going to be getting a lot of Advil and Gatorade for these poor drunk kids.
Once everyone was back in their rooms, I went down to get a cocktail or two. I felt a tap on my shoulder and almost jumped, but when I saw who it was I couldn't help but smile and ask "what's up darling?" Ashley smiled back and took the drink I was holding, shot it down and let out a breath.
"Anna considering the situation you are in, I would suggest a stronger drink."
I couldn't help but laugh and order a round of vodka for both of us. While we were waiting, she pulled out a file that made me happier than any kind of cash amount.
"I need your help. I'm really stumped on this one since there isn't much evidence." Ash murmured so only I could hear.
The shots came and went faster than expected, soon we were in front of my hotel room. Once inside, we saw Morgan and Tristan passes out together on MY bed. Nothing seemed out of place besides a note a foot or two from my left foot. I gently picked it up to see my name written clearly on the front.
Ash walked up, read it,grabbed her car keys and I guess she left. I flipped over the paper and read, "meet in room 512 at 7:30." The thing was that there was no signature, meaning this was a threat or an invitation for what I did not know. There was a grunt on the other side of the door which turned out to be Ashley with some presents for me. I opened the door and I couldn't have been more thrilled at the sight of the black body bag. She drug in the heavy bag and hoisted it onto the empty bed which gave me chance to unzip the bag. I picked up an Ak-47 and it felt so good to be unofficially officially back.
"Do you need back up tonight?" Ash called from the bathroom;I didn't respond waiting for another snarky comment.
"Holy Shiz Anna what's wrong? All of your friends are under a magical spell, you have plenty of amo, set things right with him, and your in a five star hotel."
I murmured an I'm fine as I got my glock from the bottom of the bag.
It was 7:15.

I went straight down to the front desk and asked who was in room 512. The older man said that what I was asking was confidential information that was not to be told. I was so enraged that my hand flew to my pocket searching for my "big girl badge". (It had the highest honor and weighed a lot more than normal ones)
Of course it wasn't there because it was upstairs with Ashley, who was babysitting and nursing the drunk back to health. God bless her. After I realized I wasn't going to get anywhere the old man, I checked my clock to find it was 7:26. I better go or I would be late and no one likes late people with a lame excuse.
Like in the action movies, I knocked with my gun without saying anything. There were voices on the other side and someone decided to open the door. What I saw was confusing...just two strong man that could probably lift a bus held a stuff animal. There was another one holding a bouquet of red roses. Apparently I didn't get the memo that prom was tonight and I had been invited. They looked unfamiliar but for safety reasons I put up my gun. The two man slowly backed up and let me inside which was unbelievable by the way.
Why did everything have to be so pretty?
"Who do you work for?" I barked at them to loudly. They didn't have to answer because the painting in the middle of the living room explained it. I lowered my gun and went straight to one of the doors in a long hallway. I found him in the first door by himself. He saw me first and sat a little taller.
He practically whispered,"Anna banana. Nice to see you."
