Chapter One hundred and thirty-four

Jay had called her wife just to make sure he passed through her test of suspicions. He went to his room as he began preparing for work, it was almost morning and he sure would have a swell day anticipating. He took his bath after making sure that he securely locked the door this time. He could not risk her snooping around and finding that phone. He finished up rather quickly and went down for breakfast. He did not want to seem to be in a rush and took his time with his food. She was already eating that morning as it seemed she suddenly had an appetite. How he wished she was not pregnant, then perhaps, he might have no need to be restraining himself from forcing out information from her. He was really upset about the situation and up until now, he still blamed his stupidity for going after her simply because he and Bella were passing through hard times. Stella's pregnancy was obviously beginning to grow and there was nothing he could do about it anymore. He finished his food finally and rose up. He had the new driver do his job and asked to be taken to some plaza. He needed a new phone, he had said but in truth, he only wanted to work on this one in his pocket. 

They drove him to the Plaza and he went inside alone. Alfredo should probably be at work so he was not so worried about anything. Whether or not he trusted the man, he had to still live up to his pretext and besides, Charlie's words echoed in his ears. He got inside and went up immediately. He sought after a man he felt he could trust and asked him if he could work on a phone that had gone blind as the screen was a mess. The guy assured him that he could and he demanded to know how long it would take. He was given an hour at the most, he could wait but he needed to buy himself time with an excuse. He asked the guy to start up immediately and called on his drivers. They were to wait as the particular phone he needed was being transferred. He sat down there boring as it may be, he had to persevere and remain patient. The guy was really busy with the phone and took his time with his job. Jay found himself from time to time looking at his watch. 

It took exactly one hour and twenty minutes to finish. Jay took the phone immediately in his hands and booted it. It came to life and he quickly slid into his contacts, thank God, everything was still intact and that number was there. He exhaled in relief and thanked the guy for a job well done. Now, he had another assignment for him and asked if he really could trust him with it, of course he said yes. Jay drew closer and told him that if he could not keep his secret, he might loose his life, he asked again if he could trust him. The lad thought for a while and asked him to bring it on, he demanded to know if they could help him track down a number. The last number which had called him, he needed to know the location and area around. The guy told him that it could be done and asked Jay to show him the number which he did. Jay went back to waiting but this probably would not take time. 

The lad suddenly smiled and Jay knew he had found it. He was typing something on the phone which made Jay curious. He finished and handed the phone to Jay. 

"Location you seek is saved as a draft in your text messages, it's a phone booth though ",he said. 

The guy was smart and Jay was happy he had made the right choice of person. He demanded for his account number and transferred a satisfactory sum into his account. 

Rising up, he said to the lad, "Good job".
