Chapter 2
I got out of the room of the room and found Alicia still in bed, pouting. I wondered how I didn't find that annoying before, I looked around the elegantly furnished room, it felt colder than I remembered.
"Didn't you hear me talking to you? Your blackberry is going crazy" She handed me my phone.
I put on the first suit I found and then read the messages. "Can you come have dinner with me? We need to talk." I said already getting to the door and closing it before she could answer.
I hurried outside and stood in the rain waiting, looked around seeing all those suited people standing, waiting for a cab checking their blackberries and clocks vigorously. I'd had so many nightmares about this exact moment, the grey skies and the roads slick with water. I was already soaking, when I saw the cab. And a few seconds later a motorcycle rushing in behind, I stared at it until it turned the corner and that was it, no thunder, no explosion, just the normal traffic noise, life went on. I started laughing, the people around me probably thinking I was a mad, a man soaking wet standing in the rain, laughing. The rest of the world oblivious to the importance of that moment.
I answered my phone, and told Rupert I was on my way.
