I've been watching her. Who is 'her'? Who am I? You will find that out soon enough. This is a mission taken very seriously. I take every mission seriously, but this one in particular must not fail. You see, I promised a friend I would watch his 'girl' while he was away for work. It was a simple mission for him. A drug bust down south with some of the biggest mob bosses in the world, and they send Duo Maxwell to do the job?
I hope he had a lot of back up. He was my friend and I didn't want him dead. But back to the mission he gave me.
The day he left he told me something. He said to make sure she doesn't get hurt, to make sure she doesn't cry alone, to make sure she'll be there when he returns. It has been nearly three years that I've been on this mission. Not once has she been hurt, not once has she cried alone, and she's never gone on vacation or even a day trip. She comes home from work every day at five o'clock and leaves every morning to be at work at eight.
How do I know all this? Well that's simple really. I've been her guardian angel. I watch her wake up, I watch her take a shower and get dressed. I watch her eat breakfast and run out the door and into her car. Does she know I see all that she does? No, she would be upset with me. I'm discreet when I watch, and certainly don't get kicks from watching her shower and get dressed. She is my friend too and I love her. I am Hilde Schbeiker's guardian angel. Since the day Duo left I've been by her side.
When she calls out for him at night, I cry. I wish I could bring him back just so she won't be in pain. But I can't. I do not know where he is or if he is even alive. I stop in at her home every day, saying 'hello' and 'how are you?' She manages to convince me to stay for dinner, or to even go out to eat. She always winds up safe and sound at home. And I never go home before I know she is in her bed, nice and secure. I make sure the locks are locked and the windows are sealed. I watch the moonlight dance across her face before I go because she just looks so beautiful.
Am I a stalker? Some might say so, but I am just carrying out my mission. My mission of friendship and love, because I am Hilde's friend, and I hope to be her lover too.
