Four days ago, I had accidentally discovered some details about at work, that were never intended for my eyes. Someone was careless and made an error in sending out an email. It was discovered, and I knew my time was limited. I left in the middle of the night, with limited funds, and an old car I bought with cash and I took off for Portland. I'd driven for three days, to get there surviving on peanut butter sandwiches, and water. I would pull off into camp grounds to sleep, and only pay cash for gas. I didn't want to be tracked.
It smelt heavenly inside the Brewpub, I sat down at the bar, not seeing him anywhere, I felt my fear built as well as my panic. I'd done some research, and tracked him down to this address in Portland. What if it was wrong, and not up to date, I'd be so screwed. I took a calming breath, he had to be here. I was going to eat a nice hot meal, and then I'd ask about him.
A man, with beautiful blue eyes, and medium length dirty blonde hair stopped in front of me. He smiled at me. "Welcome to the Brewpub, what can I get you to drink?"
"A water please." I returned his smile. If it were a different time or situation. I thought to myself, but I didn't have the luxury of a distraction. "What can I get you today?"
"A small bowl of chili." He winked at me before walking away, I let out an exhale. I turned when someone set down next to me, I set up straight when I felt a gun, being shoved into my side.
"You're going to get up, and walk outside with me. Cause a scene, and I will shoot this place up. Nod if you understand." The man whispered in my ear. I nodded sliding off the stool, sliding close to the man, the gun pressed into my side.
We walked outside, rounding the corner, the man went down without warning. My hand was grabbed and I was dragged into the back of the Brewpub. "I'm Eliot Spencer. Are you okay?"
I nodded my head. "I'm Annisa Clark, is Alec here."
I watched Eliot's demeanor change, his arms crossed over his chest. "Who wants to know?"
It made me happy to see that someone was still watching out for him, still even when he's an adult. "Can you just tell him Annisa is here, his sister."
