The night seemed to have fallen fast for the day and the atmosphere was calm unlike other days, or perhaps because it rained. Jessica waved me a goodbye from my balcony. She had helped me packaged my luggage and prepare me for the night, not forgetting to add my favorite meal since it would take a month to return, that's if ever coming back here. I saw Isabelle wiping her tears, which was pretence. She was always crying on any occasion, and Jimmy termed her"queen of tears". I had no clue of what this job entails, since these women claimed it was in line with being a detective. Granny walked up to, since her apartment was the first floor. She held my hand and smiled."Don't change who you're for someone else…just stay true to yourself" she whispered."This life would teach you so many things but you could be a weapon or a drug, your attitude would attract failure or success…" She furthered. I wasn't interested in her quotes since she always gave advice to everyone who was living in thi
I was taken aback by what he said and immediately I petitioned my resignation letter, that was just me and no one was changing that. Jimmy scoffed at my reply on not wanting to stay. He didn't believe my words, especially knowing that I needed the cash desperately. He and the manager went on explaining what this job entails. Sincerely, all that I got to hear was me acting as a spy with a sidekick but who? I sat patiently once more waiting to see who was going to be under me at least, I am boss over someone which gave me pride. I frowned at jimmy for lying to me and even living under my apartment, well, why should I get angry? Likewise, I never ask what job my neighbor ventures in. There he was coming out through the door, oh my I must say, I fell at the sight of my sidekick, he was just the beautiful man I would describe, tall, handsome, well-built, charming eyes. As a boss, I had to shove such thoughts and focus on what the ordeal was; being an agent and forsake this new job again… t
I heaved a sigh and tried to gasps for air, the rain swept across my face, I didn't know where to run to in the dark with the little child wrapped around me, but I kept hearing strange echos in my head directing me on which part to go. I close my eyes and blurry visions appeared, I could hear their voices coming closer. The child shivered in the cold even though we both wore a raincoat. I began to run again with all the energy I had. I could save a life if I wanted to, and this could be the last time. The sound of a gunshot could be heard, and I knew they were really close now. Luckily for us, I found a tree trunk on the ground and I crawled inside with the child. It was scary here as I had no idea of who was after us but all I knew was to get away from their claws. My body squivered as the child leaned his shoulder on me. "I'm scared" he suddenly muttered in my ears interrupting my thoughts. He was shaking vigorously and sneezing also. Although, the rain had subsided as it was trick
It was a cozy morning and the alarm rang lousily, I groaned and banged it's head to keep shut. Why would it wake me up this early when I was rehearsing on how to catch a suspect? But thanks to this old thing though, it got me up early, let's just say a little. I rose up and tottered to the bathroom, but my eyes caught something, it was my outfit which laid on my rocking chair, I hissed and folded my arms. It seemed like every day was frustrating for me since I took this job. I work as a detective, which was the worst job on Earth for me, my dreams and plans were far different from this career. I know it's kind of weird doing something which I dislike, but the truth about the fact is, I was forced into becoming one. You know, in a family, certainly a parent desires for at least one of their children to take off from where they stopped, and I was the chosen one. Argh like why would my father do that to me? I was the last child and the rest of my siblings followed their dreams or perhaps
I sat quietly listening to Sophia's complaint about me. It was embarrassing and indeed, I was at fault. I began sober as I couldn't defend myself? Did I even believe in myself, let alone others? I managed to smile at her and, pulling out my badge, I gave it to her."Don't get this all wrong… Jane…""Yeah I know, you keep repeating It's my fault, and I am trying to get the punishment due" I posed frowning. Sincerely, I was happy and sad at the same time to leave this job that gave me headache."Why are you acting like though it's my fault! Can't you recall the chaos you've caused since your arrival?. Haven't I tried my best to defend you?" She retorts. Sophia was now furious, and I expected it."If you didn't want the job, why didn't you reject it? Rather than causing a scene?" She furthered."Are you scolding me because you're a boss over me now?" I blasted, moving towards the door."When will you ever realize that you're at fault?" She said calmly and rubbing her head."When would ev
The building of royal envoy's academy was a glamour, I must say, as I admire it and that was what brought me here. As I waited for the principal at his office, which like a mini parlor with tall shelves filled with books. It's walls were painted peach, and it had an artificial flower in a vase which rested by the window. Since I was less busy, I just wanted to while away time, since it seemed he would take a while to show up, I brought out my mini jotter and ticked the number of jobs I had done so far. This was the sixth job and I have made up my mind to be a cleaner if it doesn't work or should I say if I detest it because I always had two "icons" I would say who literally works out my applications. They were my neighbors, Jessica and Mirabelle. I never knew how they perform this trick and never bothered to ask after all, when the cash comes in, I had to pay them which annoys me, but I just have to play the good girl as their junior. At last the principal arrived. I had memorized eve
It was already getting late, and I was getting exhausted of these women gist as they ate and left me behind, it was a usual thing for me while I just chat on my phone or listen to music. I was just planning how my day would be the next day as a teacher. Argh? Why again? I just hope the kids would be nice to me for the mean time, or else I could be tough on them. We were at the balcony receiving the fresh breeze outside when suddenly, one of our neighbors rang across us panicking. I was curious to know what was wrong with him. He was a student and works at the grocery shop which I stopped by at earlier, although I didn't get to meet him. I came closer to hear what he was saying."Ryan what's wrong?" Jessica asked. She always likes playing the detective part, and she had once shared her experience that she was offered a job as one, but rather followed true love. I wondered how true that was because, she was opposite that profession. I stared at mirabelle who adjusted her wig like a judg
I sniffed my nose at the aroma I was perceiving, my ears were still closed and my stomach rumbling. I jerked up, and two beings were startled by my action. It was my neighbors Jessica and Mirabelle. I looked around not minding their facial expressions and found food wrapped in two plates, I chuckled mischievously, tore opened the plate and started eating. I glanced at them and smirked. Why were their mouths opened in shock, like though they have seen a ghost? Jessica slapped me at the back and I wailed."That hurts" I yelled with a mouthful."Girl, you scared us to death!" She retorts, but I was concerned about filling my groaning stomach."Look at the way she acts like though nothing happened! What a strange girl!" Mirabelle added, pulling her hankie from her bra and cleaned her face. I sniffed again, and this time I could perceive the smell of disinfectant around me. Looking around, I realized I was in a ward."What am I doing here" I questioned, gulping some water and these women g
