Chapter 6 Storm; Diggin'

I couldn't stop myself from digging into this matter of the mystery money. Sadly the bank was no help and was hell bent on not helping me, no wonder people rob them. Wondering what exactly I was going to do once I found the person that gave me that money, a part of me liked this, the chase. It felt normal which is saying alot. Strange things had been happening to me ever since I could remember, it all started a few years ago when I married Jeff and we were looking for our first house. We came across this two storey gothic styled mansion, the moment I saw it I was drawn to it, it wasn't a house. It was home. Pooling our money together we rung the real estate guys and asked to put in a bid. Sadly the bid had stopped and the house was already sold. I had to ask who had bought it and because it wasn't a closed bidding, she told me. I can assure you I had a heart attack when the woman on the other end told me that Storm Leseveque had bought it. I told her that couldn't be possible because I was Storm and I hadn't bought any house. The next day she came to see me and right there in front of me were several bits of evidence that I had not only bought the house but I now owned it. I let it go thinking that my father had done it somehow, he assures me everyday that he didn't. From the moment I stepped inside the house I got strange feelings left, right and centre. The kitchen for example, when I was in there I had this urge to make sure that it was hospital clean at all times. I got the feeling that something bad would happen if I didn't. That feeling scared me more than I thought possible so I kept hospital clean because deep inside me I didn't want to know what would happen if I didn't. Then there was the basement, everytime I went near it I got the feeling that it was for pure evil. Evil had taken place down there and I kept away from it because I was smart enough to stay away from evil. I was tempted I must say but again another feeling told me to resist so I stayed out of the basement. The strangest and strongest feeling I got was from the garage. Since moving in I hadn't been inside, it was bolted shut anyways. I could easily get in but the bad feelings transpired into life fearing feelings, thats right I hadn't been in my own garage because I thought that it would end up killing me. The strangest part for me however was, I felt like I rightfully owned the entire house except the garage. It wasn't mine and I shouldn't go in there unless I was given the go ahead and I knew I wouldn't get that anytime soon. I decided that maybe it was time I called in a favour from my old friend Alex Cross, I can't remember how I met him but seeing as how he was a detective I figured I met him through miss-can't-obey-the-law-to-save-herself (Iziah)

"Hey Alex its Storm how are you?"

"I am good Storm, I take it you would like a favour?"

"Well if your giving them out" I laughed "I just need to know who depostited this money into my account and hopefully where I can find them"

Alex gave me a sigh, "I'll see what I can do"

"Thanks Alex your the best"

I had just hung up with Alex when Jeff walked in from work. "Hey babe, how was work?"

"Good" He shot a look at the laptop "Any luck?"

He knew all about this money and my new quest to find the person who did it. He had asked me to drop it but I couldn't. I couldn't explain it but I got a feeling that this was like a thread on a sweater, pull it and eventually the whole thing would unravel. I believed so strongly that they knew every answer to just about any question I could ask.

"Is there any point in telling you to drop it?" Jeff asked again getting a drink of water. He just didn't want me to get hurt but he couldn't deny this because he was in the same state as me, lost memories and strange feelings.

"I can't Jeff, I have to find out why I was given that money"

He came over and kissed my head "Well if you need me, I'm here"

I smiled greatfully, sure our marriage had crumpled faster than a house of cards but to me he was still my best friend and now apparently lover. "Thanks honey" I gave him a quick kiss just as my phone rang.

"Tell me something good"

"I have no person for you but I have an adress" Alex said in hushed tones. That could work.

"Thanks Alex, can you text me the address?"

"Doing it now." Alex said before hanging up.

Jeff looked at me, "When are you going and do you want me with you?"

I didn't want to offend him but I had a feeling that taking Iziah would somehow be safer. "You wanna take Iziah?"

"If you don't mind"

"Just make sure she keeps you safe, I don't wanna lose you" He kissed me again before heading upstairs to get unchanged. I quickly rung Iziah, I knew she had been in the same state of strange feelings, she just didn't admit it. Typical.

"Hey Stormy, what can I do for you?"

"Can you come with me tomorrow? I may need your rage. I found the guy that gave me that money"

Iziah let out a sigh "No, there is no conspiracy Storm, there is no evil plan. So let it go."

With that she hung up on me. I don't think she would admit it but I think those missing memories made her sad, it was like she had lost a part herself.
