I'm talking, you shut up," Reese ordered as he rang the doorbell next to the Miehe family name tag.
I crossed my arms over my chest and refrained from saying anything. Slowly the guy really got on my nerves. How incompetent did he think I was?
While we had to wait, I looked around a little. We were standing in front of a single-family house, a new building in the best part of town. Clearly someone lived here who earned a good income and also placed great emphasis on order and maintenance. Each bush was precisely trimmed, each flower explicitly in its designated place. Even the lawn was so precisely straight that one might believe that the individual stalks would not dare to grow too long in order not to spoil the overall picture.
Until the front door opened, Reese had to ring one more time and then wait patiently. He didn't get angry, as I would have expected from him and even put on a friendly smile when the door was opened by an older gentleman. My God, I woul
Now it was time to do something, because even in the age of the proles it was against the law to shoot a gun in town. Just what should i do?"These critters will still wish they were never born!""No, please, that is not necessary, I just wanted to ask ...""No ?!" He looked at me in disbelief. “Do you want to protect these beasts? Are you one of those fanatics who give monsters a right to life ?! I should shoot you too! You are …"Shit, that got completely out of hand. "No, I don't belong to those people.""... just as bad as these man-eating beasts who ..."He wasn't even listening to me."... women and children eat because a mad scientist somewhere ..."I looked around looking for help, but it was just Reese at the neighbor's. Of course he had already noticed us through the screaming, but I didn't expect any help from him."... has experimented with things that he has no idea about and who is allowed to p
I rose carefully and let my gaze wander carefully through the garden. Everything seemed normal, but the red spot at my feet spoke a completely different language. Something was wrong, it was like a vibration in the air that I could feel in my bones. And when I remembered that no one had opened the front door, I got a really bad feeling.By now it would have made the most sense to let Reese know, but there didn't seem to be any proles in this garden. And if I was wrong about the stain, then I should feel his condescension again and I didn't want that. I wanted to prove that I wasn't worthless baggage, that I was good for something and that he had to see that it wouldn't be a waste of time to accept me as a real intern.I hesitated for a moment, but then I gave myself a jerk and went deeper into the garden. I would just take a quick look around and maybe take a look through the window into the house. Then I would certainly have more knowledge to present to Reese.
My jaw dropped smoothly. "What do you care about my bust size? I'm not asking about the length of your… "Okay, the fact that I was blushing now didn't speak for me. "You know," I muttered softly into my non-existent beard, hoping he hadn't understood."You are welcome to pretend, I have no reason to be ashamed of myself, on the contrary and hey, while we're on the subject," he half turned to me and completely ignored the traffic, which was in me caused some panic. "If you feel like a number, you can certainly talk about it. I don't have to look at you. "Well tell me what was going on in his head? "Do you still have them all? How did you get the idea that I would get into bed with something like you? I've never seen that before and if you think that I need it so much that I… ”I fell silent when suddenly something became clear to me. "You don't mean that at all, you just want to disgust me." Stubbornly, I crossed my arms over my chest. “But you
Mr. Miehe looked back and forth between us, somewhat confused, and finally got stuck with me. “Even if the young man didn't express himself very politely, he is right. Venator is not a job for a young lady. ""Quite my speech," Reese pushed afterwards.Great, I really needed that now. Were there still men anywhere who did not have a misogynous streak? I had had to do enough of all this nonsense to myself in the academy for the past two years. Didn't that have to end at some point? I actually thought I would live in an emancipated society. “The head of the Venator's Guild is a woman. She's even a master. ”I looked provocatively at Reese. "Does she know your misogynistic attitude?"His eyes narrowed a little. "Jilin knows many things about me." With these cryptic words, he turned back to Mr. Miehe. "Before I start looking for the Proles, I have one more question."Me ? Didn't he mean us ? If he thought he could just outrun me, he'd cut himself. I would stick to
Okay, don't make any mistakes now. "Hey, hello, I'm from the Venators' Guild." I pulled out my temporary ID, as I had seen it at Reese, and continued talking. "We were reported ... so a prole was spotted around here and now I wanted to ask ..."When the woman let out a sharp scream, not only did the card drop out of my hand in shock, I also whirled around, assuming that it would ... I had no idea what assumption, I just did it. Then the door was slammed and the locks quickly closed.I looked at the door, looked at the street, let my gaze wander cautiously over the area, but there was nothing, except a maliciously grinning Reese who was just on the way to the neighbor across the street. I ignored him and wondered what could have frightened the woman so much that she made my eardrums ring? But there was nothing, everything was quiet as it should be.I crouched down for my ID and frowned when a thought occurred to me. Had I perhaps so frightened? She already seemed ve
Dog? What kind of dog? Huh? "I do not understand."She stepped up to me a little, looked around in all directions, only to then lean forward confidentially. I automatically came towards her a little, because she was a whole head shorter than me. "The dog, he barked," she whispered mysteriously to me and whoosh, she was back in the house and the door closed. And I stood there as ordered and not picked up.That just couldn't be true! Did only crazy people live in this area? Has it always been like that? Or was I just given the happiness of these extraordinary people? Three bankruptcies in a row. That was really unbelievable!Since there was nothing left to hold me here, I left the property with a sullen grumble and tried my luck at the next house. I swore to myself that if any crazy people lived here again, this time it would be the one to pull the gun.I entered the garden suspiciously. At first glance everything seemed normal here. But that was the case with
Thoughtfully I turned away and left the kennel. It was time to let Reese know. I was curious what he had to contribute to the whole thing. Maybe he had already found out something.But memorizing it turned out to be harder than anyone could have believed. The street was empty and I couldn't find it in the other houses either. For a moment I was afraid that he had just run away, but that would be strange because his car was still parked on the side of the road and he would certainly not leave it behind.I took a few steps down the street. Actually a very nice area. Well-kept, clean, wealthy. The leaves of the trees on the roadside shimmered in the most beautiful autumn colors and masked what had happened just a few doors down in a kennel.I told myself to focus my thoughts on the essentials again and let my gaze slide from door to door. The guy had to be somewhere. I craned my neck, looked left and right and was already thinking about whether I should just call out
This cold and heartless I worked hard for myself." He selected a number and put the cell phone to his ear. "And now I would like to speak to the police in peace, so for a change it would be nice if you just shut up."That was ... my jaw dropped smoothly. For a change? I had kept my words to a minimum the whole time! If it had been up to me, I would have asked a lot more questions and exchanged ideas with him. After all, I was here to learn something!I got to my feet, grumbling, and left the garden. I was on the verge of freaking out and since that would certainly not help our relationship, it was time to calm down a bit. But that wasn't even possible in his presence. At some point today I would explode.No you will not. You will pull yourself together and get through this. As soon as he realizes that he cannot get rid of you and that you do not respond to his provocations, he will let his spiteful manner be.Hopefully.Sullen, I stepped onto the sidewa
