Hi, so this originally was going to be a very short chapter but somehow I've added padding to it.
Please review and enjoy! :)
Uriel POV
"Morning!" I said to Will as he grudgingly came down the stairs. He only replied with a grunt because he isn't used to being up this early, its 10am. I wonder how long it would take Sunny to realise this as I've noticed she is up at a reasonable time. Will used to be able to sleep all day if we let him, but since he found his soulfinder, he has been seen once or twice up as early as midday! So I know he wasn't going to forgive me easily. Luckily for me, I had a solution.
"I made you coffee and a bacon sandwich." I say confident he will feel better. A smile, sleepy smile grows across his face like a kid finally realising it's Christmas morning.
"Thanks." Was all he could mutter and started to tuck in. "I'll be expecting this every day when you wake me up this early then shall I?" I laugh as I see the hope in his eyes.
"You'll be lucky! By the amount of food we've eaten, you've eaten, I'll to buy some more stuff in." I say. What really confused me was that he was happy to get up at 7 am for work but he refused to see mornings on any other day.
That's because I have to get up for work. He said and I threw the washing up sponge at him. I'm just glad he didn't try to speak with his mouth full.
"Is it alright if I Skype Sunny on your laptop tonight? I've lost the charger for mine again." Will asked. He was always losing things!
"Sure. How are you coping without her?" No-one has really voluntarily gone away from their soulfinder for such a long time so no-one could tell how bad it was.
"I'm okay. I wouldn't say I hate it or enjoy it. I'm doing it so you can have yours and I guess that's rewarding. Plus, when I get to see her, it'll be much more special." He replies and I have to agree with that.
"I'm glad you've come, though. Vic would be all work and no fun and the rest would be constantly thinking, or rather talking about their other half. Don't get me wrong I love all our family but sometimes I feel left out. Also, you're the most laid back so probably could deal with not being with Sunny the best." He nodded in appreciation and I let the conversation drop and I knew he would understand. I didn't mean it in a bad way but I needed this trip to be about finding my other half rather than them missing theirs.
"So what's the plan, bro?" Will said clearing up his plate and mug.
"I was thinking that today I would go into the office; ask around to see if anyone has heard of her before. Maybe I could get a part time job there; we need the money for the food by how quickly it's gone down."
"Cool, what do you want me to do or can I go back to bed?" He asked, hoping it would be the latter.
"No, I need you to use your contacts and fun out everything about her. Favourite colour, type of car she drives, even her birth certificate if you think it is beneficial to be able to find her."
"Sure thing. I'll go when I've had a shower." He said jumping up the stairs.
I walked into the usual office and was greeted by Malda and a man called Stefano. I think they were soulfinders, or at least great replacements.
"Hey guys. How are you doing?" I asked, greeting each of them. We chatted in light conversation though I wasn't paying much attention, I needed to find someone in particular. I was just listening to Malda's story of how they met when we were interrupted.
"Well, well. Back again are we? Anyone would think that you actually wanted to work here!" Shouted Sammy from the other side of the room. I turned around and laughed at her before embracing her in a hug.
"Actually, I was wondering there was any spaces…"
"Done. What kind of job did you want?" She asked and I smiled gratefully.
"Well, only a temporary one, I am on a hunt for my soulfinder but Will and I need the money. We will end up having no food otherwise." I reply.
"Ah well you are very welcome to come and work even if it's for 10 minutes."
"Thanks, well I will probably come in tomorrow if that's okay? You don't happen to know her do you? She's called Bheka Okoro." I said. Sammy's eyes flew open before going back to normal, if you blinked you could've missed it but I certainly saw it happen.
"No no never heard of her before. I thought you said someone else but I was mistaken." She said covering her tracks but before I could argue, the phone rang.
"Hey Will, what's up?" I asked, keeping my eyes sceptically on Sammy.
"I have found something." He sounded serious, that's never good.
"What's wrong?" All these possibilities whirring through my mind.
"You might want to come back to the villa." He replied.
"Okay I'll be straight there."
