Cassie was in her final year at college when she met Jeff standing in line at a bookstore. Jeff a tall, skinny guy with a dark low haircut was a graduate student. His broad chest, strong features and deep voice made it difficult for girls to resist him but that was not the case with Cassie who never gave Jeff a chance despite all his effort to make her his woman. Three years has passed since they met and his determination to get Cassie has not dwindled. Jeff had driven all the way to the morgue, a 45 minutes drive from Cassie’s apartment and all the while Cassie sat silently beside Jeff lost in thought. Jeff knew something was wrong because Cassie had an habbit of bitting her lower lips if she was worried about something. "What's wrong?… You didn't say a word all through the drive here" … Jeff inquired.
" it's nothing am fine".. Cassie said unsure if it was wise of her to tell Jeff what was going on. The lady in the Hood had instructed her not to tell ‘them’ about what she knows and until she was sure Jeff is not one of ‘them’ she can't trust him. Jeff knew he couldn't get her to talk unless she was willing to, shall we? he said as he got down from the car… Cassie got down from the suv as she hurriedly walked behind Jeff in order to close the distance between them as he made great strides towards the entrance of the morgue. They stood before the elevator and when it's opened Jeff entered buh Cassie couldn't move, the thought of the lady in the hood inside the elevator caused fear to clench like a tight fist against her chest, tendrils of terror curled into her stomach.
"I will use the stair case" she said in a low voice, unable to figure out what was wrong Jeff nodded grudgingly as the elevator door shut.Did she find out?... Jeff was deep in thought that he didn't realize the elevator had gotten to the fourth floor and was returning back to the first floor. Cassie was about taking the staircase when the thought struck her, why was jeff at her house, why was Jeff called and not her?... Her pulse pounder in her ears, cold sweat trickled down her sides, something was not right. Cassie turned to leave before she was in danger and just then the elevator open and she was face to face with Jeff.
" where are you going?" Jeff asked with an expression far from mundane… Cassie let's out a wary smile, you know just as I was about to take the staircase I wondered what I was doing here.
" how do you mean"... Jeff cuts in sharply unsure what she was trying to insinuate.
" You got the call to come down here not me" Cassie said as she slowly retrieved her steps… "Yes I got the call but I was ask to bring you along"... Jeff said trying not to sound cornered. Cassie was becoming irritated by Jeff as she couldn't hold it in anymore…" Who do you work for?" She asked…" you got a call from the morgue from whom? And how did they know you were at my place… Who are you?"... She yelled at him. Jeff stood still unable to move, in as much as he wanted to tell Cassie everything he couldn't because he needed to know what she knows and how much she had gotten herself involved in. Cassie I promise I would answer all your questions if you just calmed down and trust me… Cassie unable to believe her worst fears had just been confirmed couldn't stand the sight of Jeff anymore as she turns to leave, just then Jeff brought out a gun and pointed at Cassie… am sorry I cannot allow you leave he said. Cassie unable to believe what was going on just stood unable to take another step.
