Heist

Chapter 11

After following Lorenzo out of the room , he leads me to another room , only this one is slightly more furnished though we can't even call it furniture considering its only a few things in the room , but I will say the room is just as creepy as this whole warehouse .
I swear everything about this place screams CREEPY!

The first thing I notice is a bed that is only covered in what I'd say two thin layers of white sheets , the bed isn't your normal big luxurious bed just a small one person bed.
On the other side of the room is a metal table with two chairs on either side of the table and the walls are covered in a creamy white paint that has seen better days.
There's a lightbulb hanging from the ceiling that's giving the whole room am eerie setting.

I notice on the metal table there's a weird looking machine, I honestly have no idea what it is , on the table is also a monitor and a few metal tools.

"Umm Lorenzo?" I am squirming now.

"Yes?" He answers me , walking towards the table and taking a seat on one of the chairs. He starts typing fast on the monitor and he completely ignores my presence for a few moments.
May I just say , in all my years of existence I've never seen a geek/nerd/computer wiz that looks like him.
The man is seriously sex on legs(not that I would know what sex looks like) , but you get what I'm saying.

He has a serious expression on as he's typing and a few lines of concentration have formed on his forehead. His dark hair is messy now probably from his constant habit of running his hands through it.

"Why can't I leave now? What procedures were you referring to? "
I should really start thinking of living this place, I've had too many bombshells dropped on me today , I just want to go home to my small apartment and cry myself to sleep.

I can't believe I'm being threatened by criminals that have already hinted they can kill me if I don't cooperate.

"For now I'll prepare you so you won't be able to link yourself to us , only you and the guys and me will know about your association with us"

"Okay.... But can I go home after? I have a pet you know"

I feel guilty now , all this has led me to forget about my baby Choco, he must already miss me by now. I need to go home pretty soon, he hasn't eaten the whole day since morning.

"Look , I understand you're confused and scared right now but trust me , it gets better... Now come sit on the chair"
He finishes saying and gestures for me to take the other chair opposite him.
I can't believe how they are saying all this and acting like they haven't just turned my whole life upside down.
I have an outside life, how am I supposed to balance it all..... And managing to be working for criminals.

I walk over to the table and take the seat , I look up and look at him.
He honestly looks just as exhausted as I do , if not more. The bags under eyes have gotten darker and the worry lines on his forehead are more prominent now.

"Fine , let's just get this over with. What am I doing now? "

He looks away from me and sighs , he starts typing again and continues speaking,

"So first we need to literally turn you into the perfect citizen , I'm going to erase any altercation you've had with the law from parking tickets to drunk driving--".

" I'm not a drunk driver". I say firmly , slightly insulted he'd think I'd be that reckless.

" I didn't say you were , it's just procedure , now... As I was saying I'll completely wipe everything clean and in the face of the law you're literally perfect and like I said , when we carry out our missions you'll be the face and no investigation will be carried out and have you as a suspect.
You'll be the boring girl who's your average student that doesn't even drink. Do you understand?"
