Chapter 19

So this is where Adele’s agency is?

In front of me is a modest sized building with a small set of stairs that lead up to a door. Resting outside the door is some sort of food dish for an animal. Does Adele have a pet? A black railing protects anyone from falling off of the stairs or the small porch. A couple of potted plants sit idly against the railing; one plant sneakily curls its branches around some of the railing. Printed onto the glass of the windows are the letters AKA which I would assume stands for Adele’s Knowledge Agency.

An overwhelming sense of nervousness courses through my veins. My legs get heavier with each step I take towards the door. Why am I so nervous? It’s not like I never met Adele before. But there’s something about just being here that really gives me a feeling of unease.

Slowly, I lift my fist to the door and knock gently.

It takes a few seconds for someone to answer the door. When the door opens, I’m greeted by a familiar woman that’s not Adele. “What do you want?” the woman greets me with an intimidating glare that scarily compliments her husky voice.

This woman. She’s the same woman that saved that Deviant in the alley when Beth and the others were beating them. She’s the one that singlehandedly defeated all of the people in that alley that day. It’s weird to think that was only a couple days ago. Well, she had help with that weird dog, but still she kicked ass. Now she’s here in Adele’s agency? Why?

“Um, I’m here to see Adele, she told me to come here,” I answer. I’m so intimidated right now. This woman can snap me in half if she wanted to. Yet, even though I look scared, the woman doesn’t seem to remember me at all.

“Are you Ridley?” the woman asks, her eyes carefully scan me. She’s starting to look more like a bouncer for Adele’s agency than anything else. Every time I accidentally make eye contact with her, I feel like she’s punching me in the gut. She’s so intimidating and it doesn’t even look like she’s trying to be.

“Y-yeah,” I stammer.

She opens the door more and invites me inside, “Come on in, Adele isn’t here yet, but she should be here soon.”

I enter the building. That overwhelming sense of nervousness has increased tenfold. I can hear my own heart beat rapidly. As soon as the woman closes the door, the nervousness skyrockets even more. A soft pitter patter on the wooden floor quickly comes towards me. A shadow lunges at me which makes me jump back in defense. My back hits the wall as the shadow continues to go towards me. I collapse to the floor ready to submit to my fate.

Instead I’m greeted by a wet lick to my face and rapid breathing. When I look at my assailant, it’s the black dog that helped this woman that day. But it’s much smaller than I remember.
