This was utterly ridiculous. None of the streets here made any sense.

As Elias traipsed down the Avenues of a large, very badly organized city, he fought his mounting frustration. It had been hard enough for him to figure out exactly where Cat had come from. Despite the name of her city and her address being on countless numbers of her application forms, the city itself was a maze.

Absolutely nothing like British cities and, therefore, impossible to navigate. Once he’d arrived, jetlagged and irritable, he’d attempted to take a cab to the right neighborhood, only to have his driver drop him off in what he was sure was the middle of nowhere. After calling Mike no less than five times to have him double and triple check the paperwork back in London, he finally found himself somewhere he believed to be close to Cat’s address.

And Elias didn’t like what he saw.

The neighborhood was run down – the buildings crumbling - and there were a number of decidedly questionable looking characters milling around. While he knew he was supposed to be finding the object of his affections, all he could think was that Cat had grown up in a place like this? A small girl like her?

When he had her back in his arms, he’d make sure she never had to go back to living in such poverty again. He’d take her and her mother back to London with him, where they’d never want for anything. Where he would spend the rest of his life making up for the pain he’d caused her.

He just had to find her first.

Within twenty minutes, Elias found himself at the front door of a large brick apartment building. While admittedly better-cared for than its neighbors, the building still looked as if it had seen better days. Cat’s apartment was on the top floor, and Elias buzzed without any hesitation.

“Hello?” The tinny voice that came from the speaker, however, was not Cat’s….leaving him to assume that it was her mother.

“Mrs. Harris?” He inquired. “Naomi Harris?”

There was a surprised pause. “Yes, this is Naomi Harris….Is this Elias Johnson?”

Now it was his turn to be surprised. She knew who he was without even seeing his face. “Yes.” He replied, “Yes it is. I’ve come to speak to Catherine.”

There was a low clicking noise as the intercom cut off and Elias just stared, his eyes wide. Had she hung up on him?

His fears were assuaged, however, when, less than two minutes later, there came the din of footsteps from the cement stairway in the apartment building’s lobby. A woman of about Cat’s stature came into view, with her same brown eyes and dark hair. Naomi Harris, however, was no Cat. The fire in her gaze spoke of decades of living experience, and, if Elias wasn’t mistaken, no small amount of irritation.

The elder woman was still clad in her sleeping things – a velour dressing gown and a long robe – and when she came to eye him through the metal door grating, it was with no small amount of skepticism.
