CHAPTER TWO
I woke up to the sound of Jamie raising her voice against a male she sounded more annoyed then anything so I didn't bother worrying about her as I yawned and stretched before rolling out of bed. I heard the front door shut loudly as I walked out of the small guest bedroom that Jamie had made up for me when she first bought her apartment. As I made my way out into the kitchen to make some coffee I saw Jamie rush past me she hollered goodbye and was out the door before I comprehended what she had said. "Bye." I replied waving to an already closed door in a now empty apartment.
Seeing half a pot of cold coffee I decided it was better than making and then waiting for another pot of coffee to perk and drank it straight out of the pot. Finishing the cold half-pot, I grabbed a bagel and smothered it with blueberry cream cheese while munching on it I grabbed my cell phone from where I had it on the charger in the small living room area. Seeing that I had several missed call's all from an unknown number I immediately called it back as I woofed down the bagel. It rang five times and I was just about to hang up when it stopped ringing and a high pitched female voice answered it in Icelandic she sounded scared.
"Is this Ruin?" She asked I felt my brow furrow in surprise and confusion at her use of the name I had used on for some particularly dark missions I had been assigned to complete by any means necessary. "Who are you? How did you get this number." I demanded standing up from the couch I had been sitting on and immediately moving out of eyesight of the windows and into the guest bedroom. Grabbing my two guns and strapping my small hunting knives around my ankle in quick precise movements, "My name is Lina Frost, Xander gave me your number he said you could help me." She said.
Immediately she got my full attention, "What is your location and security word?" I asked settling down a little now that I knew that my position wasn't compromised and my cell phone was near impossible to trace. After she told me her location and the security number that I used to ID her when I called Xander to double check. He told me some of the details and I sighed heavily knowing what this meant for me and Jamie although to be fair he always paid his debts in full and this one was going to cost him. "Well there goes any thoughts of me actually going to a beach and drowning myself in booze while catching up with Jamie." I thought morosely as I re-packed all my clothes which Jamie had washed and dried for me while I had slept before calling her and getting her voicemail. "Hey Jamie it's me, um somethings come up so I'm going to be going off grid at least for a few months. I'm sorry I will make it up to you I promise, don't do anything I wouldn't do. Love ya sis."
FIVE MONTHS LATER:
SOMEWHERE IN SWITZERLAND:
I hissed as Granger, the field doctor patched up my newest addition to the scars that littered my body generously. "I can't believe that you got hit." Granger said with a raised eyebrow silently asking me for the story. I scowled at him, "Well if you were faced with a skunk's back end only three feet in front of you, you would have been distracted a bit to!" I muttered sharply staring at my feet sulking a bit. Granger laughed as he finished sewing and placed some ointment and cotton pads on it before wrapping it up. "I can't say that's a lie. After all I do have a certain pair of striped spite fire at home." He replied causing both of us to chuckle a bit at the thought of his wife and daughter who loved to dye a single section of their hair a different color for each month. "Thanks Granger." I said as I pulled my button up black long-sleeve back on ready to get back to Los Angeles and spend some time with my sister.
After several hours of driving I was back at the small town where I had left my personal things. I went inside the post office and retrieved my cell-phone which I had turned off after I had called Jamie and left her a message. When I turned it on I saw immediately I had over a hundred-missed call's all from Jamie. Immediately I was worried, I hit redial and waited anxiously for her to pick up as I took my other personal things and placed them back on my person before leaving the backroom and heading for the door intending to get to Los Angeles as soon as I could. I just stepped outside the post office when my phone rang with an unknown number I immediately picked it up. "Hello?"
"Jupiter?" Jamie asked her voice sounding both tired and elated, "Jamie what's happened are you okay?" I asked trying to stay calm. "I'll explain later but right now I need to meet me at Paris, France." Jamie said. I as a bit surprised but agreed without hesitation immediately finding a ride and heading over the boarder that protected the two countries.
