Bradson and I pulled up to Merrisah’s complex around four in the afternoon. Without hesitation, Bradson let his window down and typed the password into the code box. The gated opened, and he drove into the complex. Passing the first building on the right, we came to a stop when we were directly in front of the second building which numbers read, 2165. Oddly, those were the same numbers to his pin on his phone if he didn’t use facial recognition.

“Is that the car you saw this morning?” Bradson pointed to the Mercedes he stopped behind.

“I don’t know. It’s hard to tell from the back,” I replied honestly. He shifted the gear back into drive, and crept forward until I was able to get a side view of the vehicle.

“That’s it! How the fuck does she know where I live?” I said with certainty.

“We’re about to find out,” he stated.

He released his foot from the brake pedal, until we were forward enough to be able to back into the unoccupied space next to the Mercedes. Bradson hopped out of the vehicle alone after putting my car in park, and pressing the button to turn the ignition off. He came up with the idea that he’d offer the excuse of wanting to spend time with his children. We both agreed she missed him, and wouldn’t turn his offer away.

I was supposed to give him ten minutes to get settled into conversation with her, and then he’d make an excuse to step out for a call. Anyone who knows him is fully aware that he hates to conversate on the phone in front of others. He always thought it was poor mannerism and pure disrespect toward others. He would make a call outside of her door, but he’d be calling to signal me to come. She’d most likely have her ear pressed against the metal door to try and get information out of his phone call, so we came up with a random sentence to use as a code.

“This is Bradson. I just received an email from someone at your facility,” he said when I answered my phone.

It had only been two minutes since he left the car, before calling to inform me to come. I pressed the end button on the phone and shoved it in the door panel. I quickly opened my door halfway and held it while I put a leg on the pavement, and exited the vehicle. I slammed my car door shut forcefully, which caused my shoulders to raise up to my ears while cringing my teeth. I sprinted down the sidewalk, until I stopped in my tracks to peek around the brick wall. I slowly moved my eyes until I saw Bradson standing at the top of the flight of stairs, before he used his hand to motion for me to come up.

I tiptoed up the wooden steps, and met him in front of Merrisah’s door. He put his finger to his lips to inform me to quietly walk in behind him, as he reached for the knob.
