"Tasks, Guilt, and a Window"

"Hello, you 'ave reached Jeno, ima out on business right now so le've me a message and ima call you a.s.a.p."

Before the beep to leave the message went off I began to think he's probably too busy...maybe giving Numbuh three that necklace is out of the question.

Beep

"Eh…hey Jeno. This is Wallabee B. from grade school and I was just wonderin if you could help me with some money issues…call me back…if you can at this number, bye."

When I hung up the phone I quickly grabbed the picture of the necklace of out my back pocket. How am I gonna get this for you Kooks?

Bring. Bring.

Practically jumping out of my skin from the phone ringing, I picked it up. My voice was a bit shaky. "Hello?"

The voice on the other line was steady and pounding. "Wallabee, I can help you."

I was shocked to hear someone from the line call my name, so what I said next was kindof a reflex.

"Who the hell is this?"

"This is Jeno, the one who's gonna get you tha moneyz you gonna need to save yo' ass."

When I heard the name "Jeno" my body began to shake. It wasn't that I was scared of him, cause I wasn't. I was just alittle concerned of what I was doing.

"Yea, you think you can get me $50,000 by Valentine's Day?"

"Valentine's Day? That's kinda soon dun't ya think?"

I wiped the sweat of my forehead. Was he gonna help me?

I heard a sigh as he continued speaking, "I need something in return…you helpz me and ima helpz you."

Confused, I said, "I probably won't be able to pay you back til I'm 60 years old, but I'll try. Just as long as I get the money."

Jeno began to laugh deeply. "Nah. I need yo consent…can you put something on the line?"

"On the line?"

"You gotta promise me you can do MY work…and I'll help you."

I scratched my chin. His offer seemed to be pretty good. "And what if I don't…"

His voice boomed. "Then you'll pay…severely…but for you I won't do MUCH damage…just think of it as a 'friendly discount.'"

My stomach became light, I was nervous as hell. This was my butt going on the line…and maybe someone else's.

"So you gonna help me or what?" Jeno questioned with a smart tone.

Quickly I took a breath. "I'll do it."

The phone line clicked and the agreement was settled.

I grabbed the picture of the necklace and stuffed it into my orange hoodie, still amazed that Jeno was gonna give me $50,000.

"Who was on the phone?"

I looked up and saw Numbuh two in my doorway.

"Wrong number…I guess." I lied. The only reason was because I couldn't let anyone know what I was doing or speaking to.

I'd be ruined.

Numbuh two still stood in my doorway. "You find a way to top last years' gift?"

It was as if he knew I was planning on getting her the necklace. "Naw. Not yet." I managed a fake smile.

He smiled back, "Well good luck."

I nodded and waited for him to get out my room.

When he finally left I quickly ran to my door and shut it.

I shut my eyes and tried to keep things on the low, breathing in and out.

But I still had his voice in my head…was I going crazy?

"I'ma catch some Z's, that should keep my mind of things."

I jumped back into my bed and reached into my dresser drawer for my CD player. As soon as I blasted the music I did the honors and tucked myself in. After a few minutes, I was knocked out.

Confession

"Jeno? I think I remember him…wasn't he that skinny, short fellow that always had a sucker or toothpick in his mouth?"

If only he knew…that was grade school…now he had cigarettes and who knows what else. "Yea"

"Figures. He always seemed to be a dirty snake. I just can't believe you wanted to work for him! Go against Knd rules to get a gift and not tell anyone, that's what he trained you to do…be a good liar?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Was there any strange interference's when you fell asleep?" Numbuh one began to tap his feet sharply on the floor.

Trying to remember things that you don't ever want to remember was hard…it kept pressuring me.

"Well there was one…I think."

End of Confession

My CD began to skip, it must've been scratched.

The repeating sound woke me, I looked at the clock. 12:00 A.M

I rolled on my back and tired to fall asleep again, but no dice, I was wide awake.

EeEeEkK

I began to hear a sound from the other end of my room. I don't think I'm alone…

The sound seemed as if it came from a window. Like somebody had opened it.

I began to throw the covers on my face to block off the sound and cover myself from being seen.

Suddenly it seemed as if everything stood still.

I fell asleep.

The morning light woke me up as did the morning chill. There was also the sounds of birds chirping and people from outside. I heard them all…so loud and clearly.

That's when I noticed my window was open...maybe that sound I heard last night wasn't a dream or a figment of my imagination…it was real.

My stomach dropped when I saw a sheet of paper neatly folded on the floor. I knew it wasn't mine because I don't fold or neatly lay my papers on the floor.

I got out of my bed and walked closer to the note.

I started to walk closer…closer…and closer. The closer I walked the more I got curious and alittle jumpy I got.

When I finally reached the note, I paused and looked around the room, just to see if anyone was watching me.

No one was there.

This was my cue to pick it up. I grabbed it and opened it up right away. It read:

My Dear Client Wallabee,

Thanks for doing business with me, the best. Remember when I told you that you needed to help me? Well yea Ima needin your assistance. My first task for you is downtown…take a bus. Then turn left and there is it. This task will get you atleast $10,000. It's not a big one, but it's a great start, don't you think? And remember Ima need you to do this…not for me but also for you.

P.S. I'll be watchin you.

A task that'll earn me ATLEAST $10,000? Hell yea that is a good start.

"Thank you Jeno!" I said sarcastically.

I stuffed the note in my orange hoodie, right beside the picture of the necklace.

As soon as I read the note, I was pumped up! I wanted to get started right away. So I grabbed my back-pack and grabbed a few things like change for the bus.

The whole time I packed my bag I thought of the KND guidelines.

Rule 1. Stay loyal to your sector…don't do any kind of funny business without consulting your team leader.

It was very descriptive and kept to its words. It made me feel guilty of what I was doing.

But even though I felt guilty, I still was up for it. No matter the consequences.

That's the end of chapter two. Oh, I just wanted to say thank you for the reviews! I feel so special to have fans.
