Three’s a crowd

21:30 | Selina Johnson

It was time for me to go; something I had been telling myself for quite some time. But the smile of that little girl and a part of my own satisfaction kept me from doing so. And when the opportunity finally presented itself, my physical limitations held back. After finally waking up at her bedside, a sound of some car came in. Shortly after it was followed by footsteps of what I felt like two people. The increasing volume made it obvious that they were coming here. Maybe the little experience or something overly emotional rush, maybe it was both. I took out my gun and made myself ready when the doorknob clicked...

-...(sighs)

-..and I was the one who made him our new recruit for the house..

-What!?,- I whispered to my own consciousness.

-Will he accept the job? Cause that would actually help me a lot.

-Management is pushing?

-Ugh! New recruitment issue needs to be solved by the end of this month. God!! I am so done.

-Hey? Guys? I think I am the one you need to talk to first.

-Ms. Inspector, sorry for being late. The place needed a bit of cleaning, boxes were to be sorted.

-Yes indeed.

-I am sorry Inspector for this. You must have had a tough time with Jane..

-Speaking of her, where is she actually Ms..Inspector?,- A rather good looking woman, a girl I would think in her mid twenties interrupted us. I could understand that she was not entirely excited about me, not in a good way.

-Oh, she's sleeping right over at her bed. See? There.

-Yeah I bet. What else could she do without me around..

-I don't know, apart from talking, playing hide and seek, drawing, cooking ramen and stuffs.

-What??,- That look of jealousy filled with anger and hatred was all over her face. Truth was it felt good for making someone feel that way.

-Okay! Timeout ladies...let's not wake her up.

-Yeah lets not. I don't think I can handle two kids today,- I could tell Jerry was enjoying this as much as I was. But to my defence, he was right.

-Shut up old lady,- As much as I wanted to and actually was able to keep violence to the minimalistic state throughout the evening, she was at the contrast to my noble intentions.

-..alright..hey Jerry? Is it okay if I teach the kid..

-NO. And no.

-...

-Why don't you two sit down? Let me get you something to drink.

-No thanks Jerry. I was about to leave anyway.
