Chapter 7
When the elevators doors opened the first thing McGee saw were a pair of huge green eyes.
In front of him stood a teenage girl, could not be older than 18, but her round face and big eyes made her look younger. She was tall, maybe a few inches shorter than himself, and lean. She wore a old coat, it was big, reaching past her knees, and in many places have been patched up. The coat was open showing the green t-shirt underneath. She had dark jeans and black converses. Her clothes looked clean, but all of them were old, well cared for, but old. She had a black backpack hung over her right shoulder.
He walked to her.
" I'm Agent McGee. Are you the one looking for me? "
" Yes, I am. " She looked at his face, a weird expression on her face. " Sorry, but can I see some ID? Anything with a picture and name? I know where you work, but nothing beyond. Sorry just to make sure. "
" Sure. Just a sec. " He grabbed his badge from his pocket and showed to her. " Here. "
She examined the badge, and nodded. He put the badge back on his pocket. She was going through her backpack, she took out a brown envelope. From inside, she took out a photo and gave it to him.
" Do you remember a girl called Michelle Barron? "
He looked at the photo, recognition immediately crossed his eyes. Memories of a hot-headed girl running through his mind.
" Yes, I do. It's been a while but I remember. Why? Is she okay? "
" Well, I'm sorry to say, but she passed. Almost three years now. I'm here because she left you something. A letter with your name." She took a white envelope from the brown one. " Here. She said it was important. I'm sorry about the delay, but I only had a name to go on. " She handed him the envelope, he reached for it still a little shocked about what he just heard. It took her a moment to let go of the envelope. When she finally did, she took a deep breath and looked at his eyes. " Sorry to just dump the information like this. I'm sorry for your loss, Agent McGee. I have to go, you know I have been waiting here for a while now. Good-bye Agent. "
And she turned, and left. It all happened so fast that he didn't even got the chance to ask the girl what her name was. ' If I had to wait for hours, I would be in a hurry too.' He looked at the envelope in his hands, it had his name written in it, and nothing more. He wanted to open and read the letter, but he figured it would be best to wait until he finished with work.
With the envelope in his hands he went back the elevator.
