Derek had only one time pass. Going out for morning jog. He enjoyed it though he had to Jog for fifteen minutes to the place he had no confidence to walk in. Derek would disguise himself and jog in front of the pace Taaliyah had rented. He would keep low and see if she comes out.
He did it for two and finally found the timing she step out to throw the trash in the trash can. Around 8 in the morning he saw Taaliyah carrying the trash bags and coming out in front the gate to dump them before they get cleared. Derek was satisfied getting the glance of her for a minute before she goes back into the house. He would then jog back. He was spending almost an hour in the morning for this one minute of seeing her from the distance.
He kept himself satisfied for the time being. 'What else can I do?' He thought as he watched her. Two 6 year children walked towards her one day as she stood in front of gate.
"Bye bye Taaliyah," they waved at her as the school bus arrived.
