Failing Moon Moved Picture
Sticking her ear to the door, Josey listened. She wasn’t sure what she expected to hear, but could only hear a faint mumbling before silence. Walking to living room, she set her phone on the coffee table and plopped down on the couch. Sitting there for a few minutes, she only stared at her phone. With thoughts racing through her head, Josey sat forward and unlocked it. She had no unread messages, but when she saw one from Cece this morning, she knew, something wasn’t right. Her friend's message had been read., stumping her even more. Letting the phone slip from her hand to the table with a thud, she shook her head and grabbed her hair letting out a small scream of frustration. “Okay, I’m not crazy, but let's say I did leave you in his car, let’s say that the message I sent Cece was done on our way last night to the apartment. I could have asked her then what she was up to. I can accept that, but who read you TODAY. I didn’t.” Pointing at her phone and back at herself, the phone ju
Failing Moon Responsibility
Josey wasn’t about to betray Agatha for giving her the number. She didn’t answer his question and went straight to the point, “I need your help. I think someone broke in my apartment! Can you meet me today so I can look at the security camera recordings from last night? I promise I won't take long.” Tarrin narrowed his eyes on the other end of the phone. He didn’t think it was possible she knew he had carried her in and took her phone. “Yes, of course, I can be at the office in about 20 minutes, will that work? You should call the police to meet us there also.” Hearing his response, Josey started to question her sanity all over again. If they called the police, and the cameras did show Tarrin going into her apartment, she knew she would be getting him in trouble when all she wanted was an honest answer. If footage didn’t show anyone other than her, going in, somehow, that was a whole other worry. “I would rather wait, uh..because..I had a bit to drink last night, after you dro
Failing Moon Uncle Rex
Hanging up his phone, Tarrin shook his head. “Should I ask?” Mara questioned. “No, but I guess I better be more careful. She wanted to see the camera footage from last night. I called her bluff, but she is a lot smarter than I thought.” He said, removing the lab coat he was wearing. “I meant the about the dog, not the girl.” Mara responded with a bit of laughter in her voice. “Oh, uh, yea, it will be fine now. Go help Linux clean up and ask him to give you a ride home. I want to go see my uncle before tomorrow's meeting.” He responded, trying to quickly change the subject.. “Fine, tell uncle Rex I send hugs.” The sarcasm in Mara’s voice reminded him that his uncle and Mara had a love hate relationship. Even though the old man raised her from a young age, and gave her everything she ever wanted, he was still really hard on her to make her tough. He used her as a tool to help protect Tarrin, and he hated it. Tarrin shouted a quick bye to Linux through the operating doors a
Failing Moon Weekend Cap
Tarrin stopped in the foyer when the butler came out holding the cup of milk for him, with extra chocolate.“Leaving already?” His butler flashed a look of disappointment as Tarrin nodded. “Yea, sorry, can you make it to go?” He asked sheepishly while slipping back on his shoes. “Boy acts as if he still lives here.” He heard the old man grumble as he went back to the kitchen to get Tarrin the chocolate milk in new cup. Once the old butler brought him the to go cup, they said their goodbyes. Walking out into the chilly night air, Tarrin took a deep breath and looked up towards the moon. It wouldn’t be long and the soft hay colored glow would be in full circle while he was locked up for the night. He felt a twinge of longing to see the moon when it was full, Tarrin couldn't remember what it looked like, even if he caught a glimpse after the wolf came out, he still forgets by morning.Josey had woken to the sound of Emily finally coming home. “I’m here, sorry I’m late! You would not
Failing Moon Charts Don't Lie
While Josey and her sister were getting settled into their beds, they laughed talked about Emily’s weekend with her friend Clarissa and this made Josey feel better about her crappy weekend by knowing her sister was happy. “I bet the view was breath taking!” Josey said, staring at her ceiling and listening in earnest to her sister’s voice. “Well, you’d know for yourself Jo if you would come with us sometimes. The air is fresher up there and you can see for miles.” Emily responded pointedly. Josey knew Emily didn’t remember that when they were young, their mother and father would take them to the base of the mountain and ride a rail car up while sipping warm drinks in the fall. She felt it was better that Emily didn’t remember, but it was hard for Josey to ever go back. “I know, maybe one of these days I will join you and drag Cece along. I really could use the exercise anyway.” Trying to keep the mood happy, Josey let go of the memory. “You’ll get it hiking with us, that’s for
Failing Moon Great Offer
“Now this is just an observation, and I am just saying from an outside perspective, but could it be that girl, what’s her name? Josey? She seems to be getting you riled up?” Linux raised his arms to cover his face, expecting Tarrin to react with violence. Tarrin just looked up and gently smiled at Linux, but the moment Linux dropped his arms, he smacked his friend on the head with the clip holding the charts. “Ouch! Why’d you smack me!?” Linux yelped, rubbing his head. “Because, you asked for it, and no, this has nothing to do with her. You can just forget that idea.” Tarrin replied defensively, not wanting to admit it. After some incoherent grumbling from Linux as he unhooked Tarrin from the treatment IV, they headed back upstairs. Walking out to the living room from the office, they noticed Mara was standing, facing the tv. “Hey, you guys better come take a look at this.” Mara said as she grabbed the remote and turned the tv up. It was a late night news broadcast covering an
Failing Moon A Double Reflection
Holding on to her smile, she entered through the rotating glass doors. The text she received Friday said she could head straight to the 4th floor for HR, but she noticed the line of badge scanners she didn’t realize were there before, when she came for the interview the other day. The only way around them was to pass by the reception desk and she didn’t want to deal with explaining herself. Trying to act natural she walked up to one of the scanners. Pulling out the visitor badge she still had, she tried that first. It didn’t make a sound so she tried again and still nothing. Josey even tried scanning it upside down then waving it back and forth, still the machine wouldn’t acknowledge it. “What is wrong with this thing?” Whispering the question, she noticed the red button above the little dark glass covering the laser. Josey assumed if she wasn’t supposed to touch it, it would be labeled as such, so she went for it. Mashing the button, hard, she suddenly realized it was
Failing Moon His Perspective
Tarrin received a text from his uncle saying he was unfortunately running a few minutes late but would meet him at the company entrance. It was a power pull used to support Tarrin because his uncle Rex technically owned Terrace Pharmaceuticals, but as head of the board and CEO, Tarrin took over. “For being so strict, he sure doesn't mind bending the rules.” Tarrin complained from the back seat. Mara woke Tarrin up earlier than normal because of the meeting this afternoon, so he wasn’t in the best of moods. “I take it uncle Rex is running late per usual?” Mara asked, sliding in the driver's seat. “Yea. Hey, what was the point of me getting here early then?” He looked up from his phone with a death threat look on his face at Mara. “Hold your horses, and save your grumpy pants for Rex, he texted me and said you had a briefing this morning with HR, regarding your new assistant. He didn’t want you pushing this one off to some far-off office to read safety manuals.” She replied, givin
