Chapter Eight

“No fucking way!” Mia screamed at Stuart who was looking decidedly awkward as he closed his office door quietly.

Stuart wasn’t the bravest guy on the planet by any stretch of the imagination, and Mia knew and appreciated this. She also knew he didn’t want to be the one standing in front of her delivering the news that had made her scream in the first place.

“Calm down, Mia, please. I’m simply the messenger here. You’ve gotta understand that I’m being screamed at by my big boss to give you your assignment,” he explained while wiping his brow with the back of his shaking hand.

Stuart was 40-years-old, and Mia always thought he looked like a candidate for a heart attack, always sweating profusely, shaking, shouting, and consuming junk food.

“Seriously, you’ve got no one else that can go? What about that hooker Izzy?”

Stuart laughed, “Probably not the kindest description of one of your colleagues Mia, and no, she can’t go as she’s on vacation; my boss wants you to go as you covered the initial story and built a relationship with this Cody guy.”

Mia smirked. “Yeah, you don’t really build a relationship with that guy cos he’s an arrogant jerk!”

“So we’ve gotta hooker and an arrogant jerk; way to go, Mia, I get the feeling you’re not liking people too much at the moment.”

“Jeez, I’m sorry, Stuart, but really my feelings are justified. I tried to get to like Cody, I truly did, but he’s not a likable human being—if you can call him a human being that is.” Mia was determined to never go near Thrill Seekers again, and yet here she was being told she had to return.

“Look, if I give the assignment to someone else, and I don’t know who that’ll be I might add; it won’t look good on you, Mia. You’re doing so well. You’ve covered some terrific stories recently, and I know it was about a year ago now that you were at this Thrill Seekers place, but do it for me as your boss and mate,” Stuart was almost begging now.

Since when were we friggin mates?

Mia sighed loudly and tucked her long black hair delicately behind her ears. The weather was warming up now as the month was July. She was well aware it’d been almost a year since Thrill Seekers and Cody.

“Fine, alright I’ll do it, but I expect more money, Stuart, cos it’s costing me my self-esteem and pride to even face that son of a bitch again. I don’t see why it shouldn’t cost this company something too!”

A smile broke out on Stuart’s face, “That’s my girl, Mia!”

I’m no more your girl than I am your goddamn mate!

Mia was determined to at least gain something from having to go back to Thrill Seekers and face Cody again. She’d not heard from him since she left; she hadn’t even said goodbye to him that August morning.

It’d since been reported that Shane had been found, not that the news was a shock for Mia as she knew it’d all been a hoax anyway.
