She looked down at her arm the swirling tattoos covering her whole arm that hid the bruises from long ago, though no matter how much she wished the past won't just erase or leave her at peace.
After checking the red angry bruise one more time she left the bathroom, ordered food and sat down to hear the voice mails. They just accumulate when she left and grans voice mail would be there among all those and to hear her she would have to go through all of them. Sighing I sat down when Samantha's voice came and she smiled fondly, Samantha and Dane were her constants to her thick and thin. Apart from gran they were the only two people she gave a shit about
"Hey soldier don't be a stranger and leave me a message when you get back, I have an exciting news to share" her gleeful voice came in.
"Okay Eden call me back when you reach home" Dane's frantic voice came through "asap its about Samantha's exciting news"
Samantha having an exciting news always did worry her and Dane, they were so outrageous that we would start to think she probably has lost her mind but, Eden wonder what it is now.
After through some voicemails of people inviting me to barbecues finally came grans voice.
"Hey sweetheart, I know you are out there fighting battles to make the world a better place but honey you haven't called since three months and I am worried about you. You are still too young to be bearing all this burden on your shoulders. I don't question your strength pixie, but you are going far away bit by bit and I miss you, just know wherever you are I would always love you and this home is always welcomed to you no matter what".
Eden could feel the warmth seeping into her slowly, Gran was always this strong woman that young Eden always admired, she could just light up the room just by being there.
The door bell rang and Eden got up to answer it, after checking the person she opened the door.
Damn, she missed pizza, it was one of the view leisure she allowed herself, maintaining her body was of highest importance. the day's toll and months of keeping vigil took toll on her as she drifted off to dreams once again.
The dreams drifted and familiar faces swam in, she was in her school, Samantha chattering about the homework and how tedious Mr. Lorenzo was with them, but she was thinking about the present she had brought for Ethan and hoping that he would love it as she actually did put some thought into it....
For the first time high school became adventurous and she would love spending it with Ethan. They weren't sweethearts or something but friends and would remain the best of the till death do them apart or that's what she thought last two years had been and adventure with him and his gang of friends.
They accepted the bitchy and the sweet her into their gang with open arms when Ethan introduced her as a friend.
The scene shifted to her standing in the rain with cold seeping into her skin as she felt shame.
Shame that despite everything that happened to her she dared to trust again and it was broken again, it shattered to million little pieces.
She woke up second time this day with a start, the TV static the pizza box still open and the night still young....sleep will elude her now..the dreams were becoming frequent now and that was one of the reason why she had left for such a long period of assignment to Colombia
She sighed and cleared up her room and sat down to write the report. Someone had clearly been wrong about the number of people in the bunker and the lab or that it was a trap. the latter pissed her off.
What could possibly be someone in the intelligence dept doing with a crazy scientist set out to infect people with serums and probably change the order of the world....the lab was quite well that means it had funding from higher ups and someone clearly wanted her and the team to die there.
Damn, that turned the whole situation messier and she was clearly irked by the very idea that someone was playing games with their lives.
She had given the drive to the team's techie.
They had deduced two facts then, one there was damn tracking code in it and two the fucking thing was encrypted. She had to go to Blade with the drive to decode the damn thing that meant asking for help and she hated to asking for help from anyone and since it is Blade, he would do just a favor and won't ask anything in return and that would leave her indebted to him eternally.
Sighing, she made the report, she went back to her bed after finishing three report without adding what she thought about the case, it would be something that she would personally investigate. She lied down and thought of long ago.
