A.N. Thank you everyone who reviewed and I'm glad I'm getting more reviews
from people who actually like my story and not just people who wanted to
tell me how horrible my character was. ( Thanks
As she neared Peter's office she looked around somewhat paranoid and then quickly knocked on the door, when no one answered she pushed it open and quickly walked in. She saw that Peter wasn't in and so she grabbed the phone and quickly dialed the number for her apartment. When it rang the third time she was getting worried, she checked her watch and knew that Cole would be in by now. Finally when the machine started to pick up, she heard it stopped and then Cole's voice on the other line. "Whoever this is better have a damn good reason for callin at eight in the morning."
Cahill smiled, "Shut the hell up Cole, I need to ask you a favor."
"Dagger? Where have you been?"
"That is a long ass story and one I'd rather not get into right now, but I need you to go down to 24th and Benson tonight."
"Okay, why?"
"Because a couple days ago Tommy and some of the other Colts jumped me there and my dagger is in the gutter there. I need you to pick it up and bring it back to the apartment; you know what it means to me."
"Shit Dagger, yeah I'll pick it up, but first you have to tell me where you are."
"Alright, I'm at some fucked up camp for losers up in Canada."
He laughed, "Good one, now what, are you at South Central or the hospital?"
"Cole, I wasn't arrested and I'm not at the hospital, I was but I'm not now. I told you I'm at some camp for psychos, now please just go down and pick it up, don't go to any of the customers. If you're hard up just pawn the dagger!"
"WHAT? I can't do that, are you insane?"
"No I'm serious. I want you to go clean for a couple of weeks, at least till I get out of here."
Cole was quiet for a few minutes and Cahill thought he'd hung up but then he sighed and starting talking in rapid Spanish, "Que fue injustica? Como malo estar tu herida?" (*** What went wrong? How bad were you hurt?***)
"No tambien mucho, y Casey fue en lo. Ellos estar espera por mi." (***Not to much, and Casey was in on it. They were waiting for me.***)
"Ellos conocer nuestro cliente?" (***They know our customers?***)
"Ellos conocer nos. Ese es porque tu necesidad quedarse limpia por ahora." (***They know us. That's why you need to stay clean for now.***)
"Bien, you voluntad recoger su daga esta noche." (***Okay, I'll pick up your dagger tonight.***)
"Adios, Cole, yo voluntad llamada en cuanto yo lata." (***Bye Cole, I'll call you as soon as I can***)
"Si pronto, esperar Daga tu nunca dijo donde tu estaban." (***Yeah soon, wait Dagger you never said where you were.***)
"Yo no quiero decir derecho ahora." (***I don't want to say right now.***)
"Bien, adios Daga."(***Okay, bye Dagger.***)
"Bye Cole," When she heard the dial tone she hung up the phone slowly and turned around and gasped, seeing Peter standing in the doorway. "Hey Peter, uh how bout them Broncos?" Peter just gave her a hard look and she groaned and plopped down in the chair opposite Peter's and waited for him to walk around his side of the desk. When he did, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "Uh oops."
"That's right oops, because you just earned yourself a week of kitchens." When Cahill groaned, Peter smiled, "And since you're here I might as well add another rule to that list I gave you yesterday, breaking into my office is a big no and you aren't allowed to use that phone."
"Breaking in is such a bad term, you see I merely knocked and when I got no answer I opened the door and walked in and decided to wait for you and while I was waiting I thought I'd just call my friend and give him a heads up on where I am."
"And what friend was that?"
"The one I was living with, now can I go? I really am not in the mood for a lecture especially when you aren't my parent."
Peter sat back and nodded, so Cahill stood and made her way to the door and practically ran out of the office before Peter could get in another word. On her way out of the main building she ran into Jules and she smiled at the perky girl, "Hey Cahill, what were you doing in there?"
"Oh just having a friendly discussion with Peter, would you mind showing me around Jules? I got the basic gist of where everything is but I still don't really know my way around."
Jules' smile widened, "Sure come on, I was just heading over to meet Auggie at the basketball courts anyway so I can show you mostly everything on the way over. Do you play basketball? I'm not really into sports but Shelby and sometimes Daisy play with the guys."
Cahill shrugged, not really wanting to look like she was interested but she was because she used to love playing sports when she was younger and she always used to play with Cole and Rocky. They both loved to play basketball, so she just kinda got sucked in. "Sometimes, come on lets go."
