Chapter 2
Eden typed furiously on her laptop, eyes glued to the screen only pausing for a drink of tea. Sighing heavily she continued typing with incredible speed. She had to get this done, the sooner the better. Also the faster she got it done the faster she can research over the recent antique finds for Miss O'Neil. Her boss. Eden was good at many things, excellent computer skills as well as organizing. Her last job was a total flop. Not because she was bad at it, but because she hated her brother-in-law always mocking and belittling her in the workplace. He is a CEO for a very large company, and when he offered her a job as his personal assistant, of course she jumped at the offer because she was jobless. However, things turned for the worst when he would make snarky remarks about her work skills, her clothing style, her body figure, even her god damn hairstyles. Eden was very into the nerdy tomboyish style, with a little punk mix in it. Of course, he belittled her. She was middle-low class and was high class society. Eden snorted at her thoughts as she recalled all the times he acted like a true ass.
"Eden these charts and reports are all the wrong format! I can't even understand what this says!" "But you said you wanted them—"Redo them immediately! I have to show these in a meeting that begins in 15 minutes! Honestly to think you are related to my perfect Annette you pig headed girl"
"That hair style is a distraction in the office, change it or cut it off I don't care!"
"Where did you buy that ridiculous outfit? It's notorious"
"Eden for god sakes eat like a lady when you are at the front desk, it's a shame you weren't taught proper etiquette. Annette should perhaps teach you, after all she is a proper lady" he smirked as he walked away all high and mighty. Every time.
One day was the last straw and she just couldn't take the verbal abuse from him any longer. Tired of hearing how perfect her bitch of a sister was compared to her by her own brother in law really ticked her off. But it was nothing compared when he dared mention her mother. Her mother! Of all people he dare insult he dared to insult her poor mother, bless her soul as she rested in peace now. It felt relieving when she marched right into his meeting and gave him her "two weeks" notice". Eden smirked and giggled deviously, reminiscing on the memory that played in her head.
Today was the day, after his insult of last night she was done with his cocky snobby ass bullshit. Eden marched inside the sky high building wearing her everyday clothes; skinny jeans and a fannel with tank top. She made sure to empty out her so called desk, and say goodbye to some of the nice co-workers who were mostly the janitorial staff and one meek accountant. As she reached the proper floor, everyone turned her way and watched her in confusion as she marched to the meeting room where Lance was currently. What was she doing here? Didn't she quit yesterday? Or maybe, she changed her mind? Was whispered amongst the room. Reaching the clear glass meeting room she purposely opened the door with force to have everyone in there startled by the loud bang.
"Miss Eden? What can possibly be so important"— Lance was cut off by the shocking punch to his face as he tumbled backwards and fell to the floor as papers in hands flew everywhere. "THAT! IS FOR ALL THE VERBAL EMOTIONAL ABUSE I ENDURED SLAVING HERE FOR YOU!" Eden kicked him hard in the stomach "AND THAT'S FOR MY MOTHER AND PRIDE! I QUIT!" Eden turned around and began walking out with her head held up high, the men in the meeting steered clear from her path as she walked out the room only to be met by all the co-workers clapping and whooping for her. Of course, not all moments could last forever as she was literally carried out by two hefty security guards.
She was lucky he didn't sue her, only because Annette begged him not to. That was when she was nicer, before she became a total bitch in heels. Sighing again trying to not let her emotions get the best of her she grabbed her phone and dialed April's number again, 'come on, Miss O'Neil pick up the phone'
["Hi it's April, sorry I missed your call, leave a message after the beep"]
"Darn it" Eden put her phone down, completely glum. To be honest, Miss O'Neil was her only friend technically. Well, she considered her a friend even though she was her boss. In the last 2 months Miss O'Neil had invited her to dinner on several occasions. Her boyfriend Casey was a different story unfortunately. She didn't dislike him, but wouldn't be caught going out of her way to hang out or befriend him if not for Miss O'Neil. "Guess I should just drop these off at Miss O'Neil's, I am running short of groceries anyways."
April laughed, as her and Don watched The Big Bang Theory. She couldn't watch this show by herself it just wasn't as interesting without Don to watch it with her, besides he loved this show. Her and Don were cozy in the sofa with blanket throws as Mikey slept in the lazy boy.
"Hehe, can you pause it? I'm going to get seconds." "Oh! Can you give me some too please?" April handed her bowl to Don barely brushing her fingertips to his larger ones.
Don chuckled, "Of course" Don went to the kitchen two soup bowls in tow. As he was serving more stew he couldn't help but notice an immense feeling of happiness when April brushed her fingers along his own. It's not like they never touched before, but somehow this touch seemed different. He knew it wasn't intentionally her touching, it just happened. He always loved her, from the very beginning. The first he laid eyes on her, it was like seeing the goddess Athena in all her feminine red hair beauty. Don's little daydream was suddenly interrupted by a vibrating sound. Looking around puzzled he noticed Aprils Shell Cell had 5 missed calls.
Walking over to the sofas Don handed Aprils Shell cell, "Here, it was ringing when I was in the kitchen, and here is your stew my lady" Don smiled and handed April the bowl. Thanking Don she smiled, but not before trying to hide the little blush that was so eagerly trying to make itself known on her already rosy cheeks. April noticed three missed calls from Casey. Snorting, she quickly deleted them as if it were a virus plaguing her phone and continued to voicemail. Two messages were from her co-worker Eden.
[FIRST MESSAGE : "Good day Miss O'Neil, I have finished the invoice and documentation of this months' shipments, I'm calling to see if there is any other assessments that need my attending. Have a pleasurable day Miss O'Neil"]
[NEXT MESSAGE : "Good Evening Miss O'Neil, sorry to be a bother but I was hoping to catch you this time, however you must be engaged in other priorities. I just wanted to let you know that I will be dropping some assessments off at your flat. Have a good evening Miss O'Neil."]
"Who was that April, if you don't mind me asking" "That was my new co-worker and assistant, well more like partner. She helps me run the antique store now, since…well you know. She has replaced Casey generally speaking. But she does more; invoices, inventory, purchases, even does the pick-up and drop offs in a very timely manner which I love by the way" April explained while eating her stew. "She mentioned going to the shop" "Yea, but that stuff can wait, besides I'm having too much of a good time with you" She smiled towards Don, who in return shyly smiled back. "And Mikey of course" quickly she added, before she patted the seat next to her signaling Don to come and join her. Don did not hesitate, and returned to his spot on the sofa.
Eden walked down the half empty sidewalk as twilight turned to night. Hugging her thick converses hoodie sweater she hustled a bit more to hurry and finish her two errands. 'First dropping off these assessments then grocery shopping' she thought, continuing on her way. Arriving shortly after 10 minutes of brisk walking, she reached Miss O'Neil's antique store. She went towards the alley way and went through the back door. She was about to head up the stairs when she heard some noises coming from the front of the store.
'Bloody hell? Is someone in here!?' she thought as she quietly crept towards the store door. Placing her ear against the cracked she listened in.
"Hurry up! Get that cash register open! You three get the jewels!" Someone in there was barking orders. Eden then got a little scared, they were robbing Miss O'Neils store. Overwhelmed and unsure of what to do she began to reach for her cell phone. It felt like the world stood still and everything slowed down as the most unfortunate thing happened. She dropped it. The faint banging sound seemed like a blow horn announcing everyone in the shop that she was there.
"What was that?! Yo someone's back there!"
"Jimmy go get the rat!"
"You got it boss!" Eden began to panic and scrambled to get her phone, but it seemed she couldn't get in sync in her body. She rushed to get up and ran towards the exit only to be grabbed from behind and roughly was thrown to the floor and dragged out into the front the store by her hair.
"HAHA! Look boys, found a cute lil ol' mouse! HAHA!" the group of burglars laughed and howled making vulgar comments and gestures towards Eden. "Ain't you a sweet thang, mmh! Girl when we through with you, you'll be so mind-fucked, might not even wake up, hehehe" The leader had an evil aura about him, his smirk curled evily while his eyes dissected her from top to bottom. Screaming as high pitched as she could Eden tried fighting back. However, the struggling caused the man gripping her hair to twist even more.
"Jimmy! Shut the bitch up before someone hears!" Jimmy quickly stood up Eden and threaten her with a switch blade against her throat. "Shut up, or I cut your pretty face!" Eden stopped and eyed the knife. It was dull, but still enough force could fatal damage. She needed a plan. The leader of the gang started to bark orders again, "Jimmy take her out to the van in the back, tie her up and make sure her trap is shut!" "Right boss!" Jimmy roughly pulled Eden along. 'I must take advantage of this, need to get to safety' she thought.
Raphael jumped roof to roof doing another training exercise. Being cooped up in the lair was becoming too much for him and he needed fresh air and open space. As he was passing over April's apartment he noticed a shady van parked in the alleyway and two people that seemed to be struggling with each other. Sticking to the shadows he got closer to get a better view.
"You lil bitch I said. Get. In. the. Van!" the male sucker punched the young woman causing her to hit head against the van door as well before falling to the ground. Enraged by the scene he just witnessed Raph didn't need to see anymore. He jumped right behind the guy spooking him in the process.
"Whoa! What the hell are you? Some kind of lizard?! Don't you know Halloween is over freak head?!" Raph growled, "Y'know pal you should be more worried about what I'm gonna do to you than my "costume" Raph smirked before he beat the guy to a pulp and tossed him in the van. He moved the girl into a more comfortable position. Turning towards April's back door, he went inside only to find the rest of the thieves. Making short work of them he tied them up and also threw them in the van.
"Hmph! Takes a real lowlife to hit a woman like that…messing up your pretty, scumbag" He said mostly to himself, as he lifted the unconscious girl from the asphalt floor. "How did you get tangled in all this?" Raphael decided to head to the lair to not only inform April that her store was broken into but to also see if Don can examine her as well. This girl's face was extremely swollen and it's not like he could just drop her off at the hospital. He could just leave her and let the police handle it but for some reason that didn't satisfy him enough. Playing it safe he decided to blindfold her with his bandana before setting off the burglar alarm.
"D'ere that should take care of the trash," Raph then locked up the store and headed to the lair.
