Entrapment by Ainoyume "WHAT?" Sean Trelawney slammed his hand on a table. "I can't believe, you let yourself fool in that way? Where are you coming from? Highschool computer course?" The young secretary lifted her hands. "I'm sorry! I really thought, it was true! I should have thought about it, but I didn't, and I can't change now!" She looked at the man, who was really upset. "I said: Find her! Why do I have the feeling, that she always finds us? If she didn't work against us, we would have no chance to find her. If she retreated from the Internet, we couldn't find her! I want you to solve your little 'problem' and bring that girl to me! My patience has an end!" He left the room and shut the door soundly. "That little bitch!" he murmured and looked on the large view screen, where a picture of Angela Bennett was posted. "She can't win forever! One day, she'll go into my trap... and that's the moment, I'll be waiting for." Angela drank a mouthful of limonade and looked at the screen. "I think, I just got it!" Her legs lay on the table, while she was chatting with 'Sorcerer'. "I mean... I went in and I deleted that damned file." - "Good work!" came the answer. "But be careful. I'm sure, the praetorians will not give up that easy!" The door opened and a young man looked in. Angela took her legs from the table. "I'm sorry!" she smiled and the young men grinned. "I said feel as if you were home, didn't I? I just wanted to ask, if you are in need of something." - "No, thank you! all right! And... thank you for that pullover!" When he had left, Angela continued their conversation. "What has that been?" sorcerer asked and Angela smiled. "Just a man, who helped me." - "Angela! You know, you shouldn't tell something about what you do!" - "Oh, I didn't tell him. He just picked me up on street and let me sleep in his apartment." - "In his bed?" Sorcerer teased and Angela laughed. "That's definitive not your business!" - "Okay, understood. There is one more thing. I heard, that the praetorians want to use some files of hospitals for anything. I haven't an idea, what they're planning yet, but I'm gonna find it out!" - "Does that mean, I have another 'job'?" - "Clever girl!" Angela sighed. "Listen, I've to finish our conversation. I want to leave that house, even if it's comfortable here, but I can't risk his life. I'm sure, the praetorians are soon going to know where I am now. I should vanish from that town, shouldn't I?" - "Okay! See you later!" he answered and Angela turned her laptop of. She got up from the sofa and left the room. "Robert? ROBERT! Where are you?" No answer. Angela sighed and took a little piece of paper. She write some sentences on it and lay it down next to the telephone. Thank you for helping me. I have to go! I lay $20 on the table. Just for the pullover! Bye. Then she left the apartment. When she entered the street, she took a deep breath. She had, what some people were dreaming of. Absolutely freedom, if you could call it that way. She was hunted by some gangsters, had to fear for her life and didn't know in the mornings, where she would sleep the following nights. She had to leave San Chicago, but where to go? She sat down in a park and opened her laptop again. "Okay, what's that job about?" Angela asked. "Give me a clue, where to go. I mean... there's no place, where I could hide!" Silence. "Sorcerer?" - "Yeah? What are you thinking? Give me a moment time to think about it! You could go to Boston!" - "Wonderful!" Angela moaned. "What about a pass for the airport?" - "I'll arrange that! Come to Mr Cayes Café in two hours. Ask for a letter for Nicole Hepburn." - "Understood! And what exactly is this new job about?" - "You'll try to get information from our hospital. Check their computers. The praetorians are going to take the Boston hospital at first." - "I can't imagine, what they're gonna do with some patients data." - "It's pretty easy. They want to stage some little accidents with the help of knowing about people's illnesses!" - "Murder!" Angela said. "I'm not astonished about that!" - "Be careful! Some praetorians could be in that hospital!" - "Are you kidding? They could be EVERYWHERE! It doesn't matter if they're in a hospital or in a café!" - "Yeah, but I'm sure, they're looking for you. I have a strange feeling. I'm not sure, but it... could be a trap! It was too easy to get these information. Know what I mean?" - "I guess I do. I'll be careful." She shut her laptop and looked into the sun. A police car drove past and Angela lay down in the grass. She sighed. How long would she still have to hide? For her whole life? Until the praetorians killed her? She had no idea, where this would be ending. "Okay... I'm standing in front of the hospital now!" - "Listen, Angela! I logged into the praetorians systems. I don't know, what they're planning, but I didn't find any clue. I could always find a clue... something... until today. I just mean... I'm nearly sure it is a trap." - "They can't know, I would be coming!" Angela answered. "They knew, because they know me! They knew I would contact you immediately if I found out another detail. You should go away from there. It's possible..." - "AHH!" Angela cried, when some hands grabbed her from behind. Her laptop fall into the grass. "HELP! HE..." A hand pressed on her mouth and Angela had problems to breathe. "Angela! ANGELA? What's happening?" Angela tried to free herself and she managed it, even if she didn't know, how. She grabbed her laptop and started to run along the street. "Your warning was a little bit too late, sorcerer. I'll call you later!" She shut it and turned left into a small green park. Here were many places to hide. She threw herself into a shrub and kept silent. She waited some minutes, then, slowly she got up and looked carefully on the way. There was no sign of anybody following her. She went back on the way and returned to the street. Carefully she looked around. Suddenly she felt a hard thing pressed into her back. "Nice to meet you, Miss Bennett! Follow me, will you?" Angela caught her breath. The man pushed her along the street. "I'm gonna shoot, if you don't cooperate!" - "I'm sure, your boss would not be okay with that!" Angela replied and growled when she was pushed into a black car. She stroked some hairs out of her face and looked at Trelawney. "Glad to see you, Angela!" Angela glanced at him. "wish I could say the same!" she answered dryly. "Okay, what's this about? A trap?" - "I guess... your little friend sorcerer warned you a little bit too late, didn't he? Don't you want to tell him about where you are?" His smile was nice, but full of falseness. "I don't think that's necessary..." She smiled in the same way. She felt a suitcase on her left side, took it and threw it against the man's face, then she grabbed for the door. He hold her leg and she fall before she could get out completely. She turned around and tried to free herself, but this time it was hopeless. Two other men came from the sides and pushed her back into the car. "Damned!" she cursed and Trelawney took her hands. "You are naive, Angela! Did you really think, you could escape for the rest of your life?" - "I don't have to! I swear, I'll destroy the praetorians! Only in that way I can get back my life!" she hissed. "Mmm... I think, there's another possibility! Just... cooperate with us. We could need a girl with your abilities and knowing." - "Good for you, but I'm not interested!" She answered and he took her laptop. "Let's see what sorcerer thinks about this!" He opened it and made the contact with sorcerer. "Angela? How are you? what happened?" - "Uh... I'm afraid, Angela can't speak to you at the moment! Let's see... what could her life be worth to you?" Angela grabbed her laptop. "Don't believe him! I'm all right!" she cried, but Trelawney pushed her away. "It's a question how long that will still be!" He said friendly and Angela shook her head. "Don't believe him, sorcerer! He needs me! He would never..." - "Are you sure of that?" He took his gun and just looked at her for a few moments. Angela laughed. "What are you waiting for? Do it!" He thought a moment, then he took his hand back. "I've another idea. Sorcerer! You know our connections to the international drug market! If you don't want to see her buying drugs there, you should do, what we want. You'll hear of us again!" He shut the laptop. "You're right. I would not kill you. But isn't it a nice headline? Liz Marx, international terrorist caught while she bought drugs." - "son of a bitch!" Angela growled. "He'll never do anything you want him to! I'm sure of that!" She leaned back and kept silent. She felt the car move along the streets. Where would she end up today? Angela gazed down at her hands, while the men walked up and down behind her. "I only say it one more time! Help us, or I'll shoot you! Here and now!" Angela looked up into Trelawney's face. "What are you waiting for? Didn't you want to kill me the whole time? Why don't you do it now?" He slammed his fist down on the table. "Angela! I'm now here for listening to jokes!" - "Me not either!" The woman replied with a friendly smile. "I have an idea! You'll let me go and I..." She got up and went to the door. "Sit down!" Trelawney ordered dryly. Angela looked at him and stroke some hairs out of her face. "I said, sit down!" The man got impatient. Angela sat down and looked at him. "Fine! And now?" - "That's your turn! Either you'll be okay with helping us now... or we'll give you one or two days to think about it, while we'll take care for our sorcerer!" Angela glanced at him, but she didn't say a word. "And? Will you help us?" - "No way!" Trelawney signed the men to grab the woman. "Well... have a nice stay, Miss Bennett!" And to the men: "Take her to our guest room!" The men pulled her with them. Angela cried, when they hurt her. "I'll never help you, Trelawney! Not even in hell!" - "I'm sure, you'll change your mind!" When the heavy iron door opened, Angela suddenly awoke. She sat up on and looked to the door in shock. Her hair was a complete mess and she was shivering. In that room had nothing been, than a blanket, so she had been forced to sleep on the ground. "Uh... did I frighten you? I'm sorry!" Sean Trelawney shut the door behind him. "I hope, you're well in our hotel room. We don't have guests very often so... this seems to be a little bit uncomfortable!" - "Uh... no problem!" Angela forced a smiled. "If you think, you could catch me with that kind of methods... I have been in worse situations!" She got up. "Angela, I just want to give you an advice. Let's say... because I ...got used to you, and I don't want you dead." - "Oh, thank you, very nice!" The woman said dryly. Trelawney went over this comment. "My boss, Mr. Oliver will come today for seeing you and ask you many questions. I'd say, you better answer him them. He can be very incalculable with his emotions. And one word of him, and you'll be dead." Angela's glance got cold. "Your effort to frighten me doesn't work, Trelawney! I'm not open to... blackmail!" - "You're incorrigible stubborn! I'm not a monster! Well... actually I can be a really nice person. But you make it difficult to be nice, Miss Bennett!" He put a tablet with a meal on the ground. "Well... see you later then!" The door was closed and for a few more moments, Angela looked at the door, then she started to eat. Hot tea... coffee would be better, but hot tea was good as well. She drank a mouthful, then she started to eat. "Miss Bennett! Nice to meet you!" The unpleasant man with the cigarette in his mouth gave his hand to Angela, but she didn't take it. She just looked at him with a cold glance. "Well... I'm Mr. Oliver!" - "What a surprise!" Angela said dryly and looked around. Praetorians headquarters. It looked like she'd always imagined. "Angela! I have some questions, which you'll answer immediately! First: who's Sorcerer?" She looked at him. "I don't know! But even if I knew, I would surely not tell you!" - "Fine!" He walked around her. "Let's define some rules of mine! Either answer the questions I ask, or you'll be dead!" - "You need me!" Angela noticed. "You know that! you need me to get Sorcerer!" - "Yeah... but that's only two or three days. And... we both know, that we're without scruples!" the calmness of the gray-hair man made Angela feel unsure. Trelawney, who stood next to her, looked at her. "I'm sure, Miss Bennett will give you the answers, if she can!" - "It's not your business, Trelawney! I said: get her! And you got her. Now it's my turn to make our princess speak!" He grinned evil. Angela shook her head. "I've never seen Sorcerer! I only talked to him!" - "But you know where he's!" - "No, I don't either!" She said, trying to free her hands from the handcuffs. Mr. Oliver looked at her. "Clever girl! Do you really think, I believe that? You thought, right? But I know enough not to trust, what you say! You betrayed us once too often, Angela Bennett! I'll give you one last chance! Who and where is Sorcerer?" - "But I really don't know! I mean... why should I lie? I don't want to die!" Mr. Oliver sat down in his armchair. "Mr. Hearney... give our guest a little taste, of what will happen if she keep lying!" The man grabbed her brutal and pushed his gun to her neck. Angela caught breath. Her arms were pulled higher on her back and she cried out. "Mr. Oliver!" Trelawney looked at the man. "I know this woman! You'll not get anything out of her if you treat her in this way!" - "Stop it!" The man took a breath of his cigarette. "Well... Miss Bennett?" Angela felt tears flowing down her cheeks. She still felt pain in her arms. "I don't know!" she sobbed. "I really do not! I swear to god, I've never seen Sorcerer!" She cried again, when her arms were pulled again. Trelawney jumped to Greg Hearney. "Stop that!" he said with a very dangerous sound in his voice. Anna Kelly looked confused at the scene. The way, Sean Trelawney reacted was more than it had been necessary. What was going on between him and Angela? Greg let Angela go and she breathed, when the pain stopped. Mr. Oliver turned around and took her laptop from a table. "What do we have here?" He opened it and the automatically chat with sorcerer appeared. "Well... how interesting!" - "Angela? Are you all right?" Sorcerer's voice brought Angela back to reality. "I think... she is still all right! But... as I said, still!" Mr. Oliver answered. "Sorcerer... she can be okay, if we knew who you are and where you are. We'll let her got and..." Angela freed herself and ran to the laptop. "No! Sorcerer! Don't do this! If I'm dead, you're the only chance to stop them!!! Go on with your plans! Don't bother about me!" she felt a slap in her face and fell to the ground. Helplessly, she was lying there, trying to get up again. "Listen, sorcerer! We mean it. We'll kill her tomorrow, if we don't know, who and where you are!" He closed the laptop and got up. Before he left the room, he turned and looked at Angela. "it's a pity. Your abilities in computer are gorgeous. You could be a heading part in our organization!" Then he left. Angela tried to get up, when she suddenly felt hands on her shoulders, helping her. "I warned you, didn't I?" - "Go to hell, Trelawney!" Angela shivered and finally got up. She freed herself from the man's grab and turned. "Have you achieved, what you wanted? What has that been for a number? The gangster-boss helps the poor victim? Do you think, I'll say something in that way? No way, Trelawney. As a wise man said: You betrayed me once too often!" - "Angela!" he said. "It hasn't be a plan! I just wanted to save you from being killed. You could be a little bit grateful!" - "I'd be grateful if you freed me from this handcuffs!!!" she said coldly. He sighed. "I wish, I could do that, but... I'm afraid, that's not possible." He took her and pulled her with him. "You should better think about a possibility to make your Sorcerer speak!" Angela laughed dryly. "Do you really think, he'll say you, where he's?" - "He'll save your life! I'm sure about that, Angela!" He opened the door to her prison. "Well... home sweet home!" he said cynically. Angela felt his grab around her upper part of the body. Suddenly his mouth pressed on her cheek. "I'm sorry we couldn't meet in other circumstances!" He opened her handcuffs, and she pushed him away. "Go to hell! I'd rather die tomorrow than being with you!" She said angrily and he smiled. "Attention, Miss Bennett. You should be more careful with your wishes. They could come true!" With that words, he shut the door with a bang. Angela shut her eyes. She felt the gun at her neck, the top of it pressed on her skin. Mr. Oliver walked around. "Well... call him!" He finally ordered and Trelawney opened the laptop. "Well... Mr. Sorcerer... what about a little information?" It was silent, then Angela heard the voice of her friend. "I don't think, I've any information to give you!" - "Don't you? Aha! Well... I give you one more chance. Or should we shoot your little friend Angela into her knee?" silence. "Five... four... three... two... one..." - "Okay!" Sorcerer answered. "But let me talk to her first! I want to see if she's all right!" - "Angela! It's your turn!" Mr. Oliver waved and Greg Hearney brought her to the laptop. "Talk to your friend! It may possibly be the last time in your life!" Angela shook. "Angel? Are you okay?" - "I guess, I am! Sorcerer! They'll kill you, if you tell them, who you are!" - "And if I don't they'll kill you! I brought you in contact with the praetorians. It's all my fault! Angela, you know, I'm sorry!" - "Don't be sorry, Sorcerer! I'll come out here! Take care for yourself! Please!" she whispered. She looked up and saw the three man in a heavy dispute. "Listen, Sorcerer. I haven't much time until they come. We both know, there's no chance at the moment than say a name! But please... don't tell them the right one! They'll need a moment to check out, that you fooled them. And I think, I can take advantage of that moment!" - "are you sure?" - "Just trust me! I managed situations more worse than this one, didn't I? Shht... they're coming!" Angela looked up. Mr. Oliver looked at her. "are you done with this?" - "I guess so!" Angela replied. She got up and went to the side. "And? Sorcerer? Tell us, who you are!" - "First promise to let her go!" - "If you say us your name, we'll give her a new life." - "Okay... my name's Michael Haughton. I'm living in Detroit, Michigan!" - "Fine... we'll check it out. You'll... hear of us. If you do... your beautiful friend has her new life!" He closed the laptop. "Mr. Trelawney... I want you to check this personality... and if something's wrong with it... we'll kill her immediately! Take her with you!" Trelawney took Angela's arm and pulled her into the main room. He looked at Anna Kelly. "Check out if there's an Michael Haughton in Detroit, Michigan, and log into his computer system." He sat down on a chair and looked at Angela. "Frightened?" he asked. Angela looked at him. "What do you want me to say? Yes? Or no?" she hissed, then suddenly she smiled. "I could help your... assistant." - "Not necessary!" he replied with a smile. She sighed. She had to find a way out of here. She went slowly to one of the computers and sat down. "Fascinating!" she said and pushed a key. Enter password. Trelawney smiled. "You see... no way to manipulate!" He couldn't believe his eyes, when he saw Angela tipping the keys and bypassing the password. "Hey!" Angela entered her orders and suddenly the whole system was down. It had faster been happening than he could be at her side and pull her away from the computer. His grip around her wrist was hard and for a moment he looked into her eyes and knew, she had fooled them all. He pushed her away and entered orders, but nothing happened. Suddenly a warning appeared. System deleted to 8%... 9%... 10%... 11%... "STOP THIS!" He pulled the woman hard to the computer. "Sean! What's happening! My whole computer is down!" Anna looked at him and saw, what happened. "How was this possible? How could she get to our computers? SEAN?" - "Shut up, Anna! Angela! I warn you only this last time!" 35%... 36%... 37%... 38%... "Angela! Stop this or..." Angela looked at him. "What? What if I don't do it. Do you want to kill me? Then will you never know, how to stop it! But do it... kill me? At least I'd die with the knowing that I stopped the praetorians!" Trelawney looked at her. "Angela... there are other possibilities instead of death to punish a woman... especially one, who's that beautiful as you!" He glanced at her in a very sexual look and Angela hesitated for a moment. "Well... what are you waiting for?" - "DAMNED!" He hacked on the keys. 85%... 86%... 87%... 88%... "Angela! You'll never get your old identity back, if this system is deleted!" Angela looked at him. "You'd never give it back to me!" - "If I promised?" - "I wouldn't believe you!" Angela answered. 95%... 96%... 97%... 98%... "ANGELA!" An alert beeped. System cleared. Trelawney slammed his fist on the computer. Then he took his gun, but he noticed, that he couldn't kill her. He was furious, but he wouldn't kill her. Anna got up. "Bullshit!" she sighed. But it shouldn't be a problem! I think, I can get the data back in... five hours. He nodded. "just do it!" He pulled Angela with him in another room. "Let's talk!" he said and looked at her, the gun in his hands. Angela looked at him. She noticed a second door on the other side of the room. Suddenly she jumped up, ran against the man and then made her way to the door. She was open, what a luck. Angela stormed outside and came out in a back street. She started to run. She knew she had to reach a main street. "Angela! Stop!" The voice of the gangster only made her running faster. "HELP!" Angela cried, when she suddenly sprained her ankle. She cried in pain and fell to the ground. When tried to get up, she fell again. "My ankle!" she whimpered and hopped the street, but then she felt someone grabbing her and pulling her to the ground. She cried in pain and tried to escape, but Trelawney's grip was strong. "Oh no! I'll not let you go again!" he said out of breath. Angela was at the end of her power. So she just lay silent there. The man felt her breathing heavily and lay his head down on her back. Angela shut her eyes. "I think, my ankle's broken." She whispered after a time. No reaction. Not even an answer. If she hadn't felt him, she would have asked, if he was still there. He lifted his head, stroking her hairs. "Angela... I don't know how, but since I know you, my life has changed dramatically. I've only problems! Believe me, if you weren't that beautiful and I hadn't that little bit of a gentleman inside me, I'd yet have killed you." Angela caught her breath. She wasn't even able to move. She wasn't really afraid, was she? Why didn't she move? She should move. She should force, but... there was that strange feeling. He stroke her hairs away from her ear, starting to kiss her softly. When he reached her neck, Angela suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Trelawney seemed to be aware of them, too since he lifted himself up and pulled the woman with him. It was the sound of more than one. Angela guessed two or three, maybe more persons. She was too weak to do something. She was still out of breath and couldn't go. Then they saw the figures of Mr. Oliver, Anna Kelly, Greg Hearney and two other men. Trelawney went towards them. "I got her back!" he said, but Oliver had an weird glance in his eyes. "Trelawney... I've ever known it was a mistake to trust you. You're... unable to guard a woman? She deleted our whole system. There are damages which are irreparable! And that's your fault! You're no enrichment for our organization. The Russian should have kilt you, when they asked you because of the satellite codes!" Angela looked at the man in astonishment. What was going on here? The end of praetorians? "What are you talking about, Mr. Oliver?" - "What I'm talking about? I talk about what I'm gonna do now!" He took his gun. "I'll erase two problems in this world!" He lifted his hand. "Farewell, Angela! Farewell, Trelawney!" The end? No. Angela was not willing to give up. "Mr. Oliver..." Her voice took his mind away from his plan and he glanced at her. "What?" Angela showed behind him. "You shouldn't bring this old couple into danger, or do you want to murder two people more?" all five turned around. "Run!" Angela hissed at Trelawney and took his hand. But she'd forgotten about her ankle. Tears flew over her cheeks when she ignored the pain and ran as fast as she was able to. They heard the gunshots behind them and turned left into another back street. "any idea, where the next main street is?" Angela asked tortured. "Yeah!" He answered. "Just follow me!" They ran and three minutes later they found themselves on a huge road. Angela ran on the street. "Taxi!" she demanded and a car held by her side. She took the gangster's hand and pulled him into the car. "Take us away from here!" she ordered and the Taxi drove along the road. Angela shut her eyes in pain. She dried her tears with her pullover. "Where shall I drive to?" the Taxi driver asked suddenly. "Airport!" Trelawney answered. Angela looked out of the window. She couldn't believe, what she'd done. She'd helped her enemy. But has he really been her enemy? "I have to contact Sorcerer!" Angela sat up. "Excuse me, Sir! Is there an internet café near the airport?" - "Yeah, there is!" - "Please stop there and let me out!" - "Understood!" Angela looked at Trelawney. "I suggest, we separate our ways here. I think, we can achieve more, if we go separated." He shook his head. "I need your help!" he said. "I don't think so!" she said. "You can take care of your own!" - "I didn't mean it! I meant, I need your help in finding sorcerer!" - "Sure... and if you know, where he's, you'll go back to your friends. No way, Trelawney!" He pulled a gun out of his coat. "Don't forget about this!" - "You're really funny!" Angela shook her head. "Okay. Either we go to this internet café and after it the airport, or you've to make your way alone!" He smiled. "Sounds much better." Angela looked at him from the side. He was handsome, no question. Well... maybe very handsome, but that didn't matter. He was her enemy and she mustn't forget about that!!! "I'm glad to hear your voice again, Angel!" - "Listen, I don't have much time. We have to go into another town. Can we meet you?" - "We? Who is we, Angela?" - "Trelawney... I think, he's in danger. They wanted to kill him and..." - "And you rescued him! Are you kidding? This is the worst murderer, I know! I'm sure it is a trap! Where is he?" - "Waiting in a taxi outside the café! Where could we go to? Any idea?" - "First at all I suggest you separate from this... guy!" - "Sorcerer! What, if he's really in big trouble! He saved my life! If he hadn't been there I'd be dead now!" - "What, if all is a big plan to lead you to me and catch me!" - "I'm not sure, but I'll find out. But, as I said, we've to go out of this town!" - "Okay! Listen. Go to the train station! Ask at the information for a packet for Angela Haughton! You'll find all there! Let's say... in three hours. I'll get two passes and two tickets to North Dakota! ...And a new laptop!" - "What could we want in North Dakota?" - "Hide yourself! And try to loose that guy if you're in North Dakota!" - "Understood! Call ya!" She finished her computer session and paid at the information, then she went back outside. She entered the taxi. "Bring us to the train station!" - "WHAT?" Angela looked at the man. "Either you trust me, or you leave!" She said angrily. He lowered to her ear. "I warn you. If you try to fool me..." - "I know! You'll kill me! I guess, if you wanted to kill me, you'd already done it!" - "What's your plan?" - "you'll see, if we're there!" With that words she leaned back and looked at him with a dry glance. The sound inside the train was loud. "Why do we take a train, not a plane?" - "'Cause your nice friends could find out, where we are!" Angela said nerved. "If you don't trust me, why do you follow me?" She rubbed a bit of dirt from her leg. "I'm looking like a criminal, escaping from police!" He smiled and looked out of the window. "Well... here we go. I'd never thought, that I could be in same situation as you!" - "We'll see if you are!" she said dryly and got up. "I'll see, if I can find a washroom or something comparable." She left the cabin and went along the floor. Sorcerer was right. She had to be very, very careful. And at the next possibility she should take any communication-possibilities away from that guy. Angela looked at a little map, which had been given to her with the other things from Sorcerer. She sighed. "Damned!" she murmured. "What the hell is that for a stuff? Here is no crossing of forest- paths! I think, we're lost! Or this map is a little bit wrong!" Trelawney looked at her. "I have a feeling, that you're fooling me! I warn you, Miss Bennett!" - "Me? I got this map from Sorcerer!" she sighed. "Let's go on..." she ordered. "We'll follow this path until the end, and if nothing works, we'll go back!" - "Bright future!" he murmured. "would you prefer death?" Angela smiled lightly. "I myself am very glad to be here. Even if it has to be with you!" - "Thank you very much!" he said cynically. "You're welcome!" She stopped and took a deep breath. "I don't understand this map." - "May I have a look?" - "NO!" She pulled the map away. He lifted his hands. "It's okay! I just thought, I could help you!" - "Doubtable!" she said and went on. "Angela?" - "Mmm?" the woman murmured, deepened into the map. "Thank you." - "For what?" she looked up in confusion. "Why have you saved me? You could have run away without me." - "Yeah... but I'm not a murderer! I don't know, why I did it. Maybe just because... I got used to you. A little masochistic kind of my character." She sighed, and he laughed. Angela showed at a path. "There... I guess, that's the way we have to take!" - "There! That isn't our goal, is it?" He looked at a small log cabin. Angela giggled. "No! It isn't! We should come to a little town on that way. There we've a room in a pension." She noticed too late, that she'd told too much. He grinned. "Thank you for the information! At least I know, what to search for." - "But..." She took a deep breath. "I guess, I've done enough for you. We should go separate ways from now on!" - "What?" He looked at her disbelieving. Angela nodded. "Yeah! You can go there... and I take this way and..." He grabbed her, pushing his gun into her back. "Oh no! We didn't bargain for that! you'll take me to that town, and then I'll decide, if I separate from you!" He kissed her cheek. "Understood!" She freed herself. "I knew, you'd betray me!" She cried angrily, turned and ran into the forest. "Stop! Angela! I warn you only one time!" But Angela just ran. She ran down a little hill and through some bushes, when she suddenly noticed, that a little stream flow behind them. She cried in astonishment and threw her laptop to the other side, before she laid in the shallow water. "Oh shit! Shit!" She went out of the water, trying to wring out her clothes, then her hairs. Suddenly she heard a SPLASH behind her and turned around. Trelawney did the same as her. Angela giggled and started to laugh. He got up. "Oh shit!" The woman laughed more. He looked up angrily and that brought Angela back to reality. She grabbed her laptop and started to run again. She left the forest and came to a road. Nobody was there, so she ran along the road. Her shoes were completely wet and that made running difficult. "Here we are!" she breathed, when she reached a town sign. "Blueville! That's it!" She turned and saw nobody. She had lost him. Somehow she felt sorry, but only for a little moment. Then she started to discover the town. She froze and asked a woman on the street for the pension. "See... you turn the next left and then the third house it is!" - "Thanks!" Angela went slowly towards the crossing. When she finally entered the little pension, she leaned against the door. An old woman came out of a room. "Dear! What happened! Uh... you look, as if you're in need of a hot tea!" - "Thanks, but I first want to go to my room. It is reserved for me. I'm Angela Haughton." - "Ah, yes! Miss Haughton! I'll take you to your room. And then I'll give you the new clothes I bought for you." - "For me?" - "Yeah! Your friend gave me money to buy you new clothes." The old woman replied and showed Angela her room. "Here we are! There's a shower. Towels are in the small wardrobe there." - "Thank you, Mrs...." - "Conolly!" She answered and smiled. "You're welcome. I'll bring up your hot tea soon!" - "Thanks!" Angela looked around, when the woman had left the room. She opened her laptop. "It was a long time, since I talked to you. Where have you been?" - "Let's say... I'd some problems, but it's all okay now." - "Are you sure?" - "Yeah! I'm only a little wet. I fell into a stream in the woods." Sorcerer laughed. "I guess, the new clothes were a good idea then!" - "They were, thank you. I'll have a shower for warm me up now! Let's continue later, okay?" - "Fine! Enjoy your shower!" Angela closed her laptop and stroked some strands of hair out of her face. Then she started to undress herself. When she got under the hot shower, she relaxed completely. It was so comfortable to have a nice shower again. Suddenly she heard a knocking on the door. "Just a moment, please!" she wrapped a towel around her body and opened the door. "Put the tea on the table, please!" She said, while she was on the door to the bathroom again. "I'd do, if I had tea!" Angela turned around. "You?!?" She looked at Trelawney. "Hallo again!" he said friendly, but with a dangerous sound in his voice. Angela pulled her towel higher. "How did you find me?" - "Very easy! This is the only pension in this damned town!" He sat down in an armchair and looked at her. Angela became nervous. "I... I had a shower... I mean... actually I still have... I..." He got up. "May I?" Angela went back. "Don't even think of it!" He took her laptop from the table next to her. Angela looked at him. "Ah... you just wanted... no! No give that to me!" She grabbed her laptop. "I warn you! If you plan to steal it... or sending your fine friends out there a message, where we are..." He took the laptop out of her hand. "Take your shower." He said while sat down in the armchair. Angela thought, if she should protest or just take her shower. Finally she sighed and turned around. "Be careful! I don't want to have to get a new laptop tomorrow!" With that words she disappeared into the bathroom. When she had finished her shower, she got dressed, then she came out of the bath. Her hairs were still wet and she rubbed them with a towel. "Fifteen minutes!" - "What?" Angela looked confused at Trelawney, who was looking at the screen of her desktop. "I said, fifteen minutes!" He repeated. "And?" Angela went to the window. "Well... I've just never seen a woman that fast in the bathroom." Angela turned and threw her towel against his face. "Go to hell!" she said angrily, when it knocked on the door. Trelawney jumped up and took his gun. He pulled Angela against his body. "Who is this?" Angela looked up to the ceiling. "will be the police, coming to catch us up!" - "I don't like jokes!" he answered and Angela nodded. "Fine! I don't either. Would you please take your arms away, for I am able to open the door?" To Angela's astonishment he let her really go. She went to the door and opened. "Ah, Mrs Conolly." - "I bring your tea! I hope it's okay!" - "Yeah... thank you! Everything that is hot is okay!" Angela drank a mouthful. "Uh... who's that? your husband?" - "No!" - "Yes!" Trelawney interrupted. "At least I am soon!" Angela glance at him with fire in her eyes. Mrs Conolly laughed. "Well... I'll have to get some old clothes of my husband, won't I? Which size do you have?" Angela wasn't able to believe it. She went back into the room and sat down in the armchair, taking her laptop. When Trelawney had closed the door, Angela looked at him. "Fine! What were you doing here?" - "Um... nothing special!" The woman nodded and opened her chat. Then she looked up. "Don't you want to take a hot shower, too?" she asked and he grinned. "Want me out of the room? Okay!" He shut the door of the bathroom after he's entered it. Angela sighed. "Hi Angel! All okay with you?" - "Uh, I wish I could say that! It didn't work. I couldn't lose that damned..." she stopped. "I don't know what to do know. I'm not sure if he's still my enemy or not. I mean... if he wasn't..." - "Angela! What are you planning?" - "I could need a person with his abilities." - "What are that for words? Are you crazy? He's always been your enemy. Do you really believe, the praetorians would really want to kill him? He's one of the most important guys in that organization. Sometimes I've really doubts if you're an adult woman." - "yeah, you could be right, but... then tell me, what to do!!!" - "Does he have a gun?" - "Yup!" Angela sighed. "He does have a gun!" - "Fine! Try to get it!" - "How? He watched over it as if it was a treasure!" - "Angela! You're a woman! You'll find your methods to get it!" - "Which means: kiss him?" - "Clever girl!" - "That carries too far! I'll not kiss him! I mean... not because of that damned gun!" - "Fear to loose yourself in that kiss?" - "HA! Surely not! But fear, that I don't get this gun! Listen, what should I do here? I could get away tonight, when he's sleeping." - "Run away? He'll follow you!" - "He'll follow me, if I have that gun, too!" - "Not, if he can't!" - "I'm not a murderer!" Angela said angrily. "I don't mean that you shall kill him. There are other possibilities to hold a human." - "He'll be found tomorrow morning!" - "Yeah, but you've almost 8 hours to get away!" - "Hmm... worth thinking about. I'll call you again!" She shut her laptop and leaned her head back. The eyes shut, she drank another mouthful of hot tea. She was interrupted by Mrs Conolly, who brought the new clothes. She sighed. "Please lie them down there! Thank you!" - "I'll bring a dinner, okay?" The old woman left the room. Angela gazed out of the window. It started to rain. Softly she opened the window and held one hand outside. The rain was warm. A summer rain shower. She thought about going outside. Breathing deeply, she closed her eyes. She'd played in those rain showers, when she had been a child. She didn't her the door to the bathroom open. She wasn't aware of anything but the rain until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around. "What?" Trelawney looked at her. "The dinner came! Or do you want to keep looking outside the window? Do, I'll save you a little bit!" Angela sighed. "No..." she replaced her laptop on the table by the two tablets with food. They sat down on the big sofa. "It's good, isn't it?" - "Mmm..." Angela nodded, far away with her thoughts. "What are you dreaming of, princess?" Angela closed her eyes, when she heard his words. "why do you always have to treat me in that way? I am not your princess! And I will not help you with your dirty businesses! Understood?" She pushed the tablet away. "I'm not hungry anymore!" When he'd finished, he leaned back and looked at the woman. "I'm interested, Angela! What have you done the whole last years... without escaping from us?" Angela looked at him. "Hiding!" she answered. "No, that wasn't what I meant. Where did you hide?" - "Mind your own business! I'll certainly not tell you, where my hiding places are!" she laughed. "But a nice try!" - "I mean it... did you have any relationships?" - "Why?" Angela looked at him. "It doesn't matter, does it?" He lowered himself. "I'm interested! You always crossed my plans. How did you do that? and why? You could have been more secure, if you hadn't done!" - "Sure, I could have been... but I didn't want to happen the same thing, that happened to me to other persons." Angela explained and smiled lightly. "I've to say, it wasn't very easy!" He laughed. "I'd wonder if you'd said the contrary!" His hand stroke over her cheek. Angela pulled her face away. "Stop that!" she murmured, but the man suddenly pushed her to the sofa and lay on her body. "I'd to pull myself back so often!" he whispered. "But not this time!" Angela caught her breath and tried to push him away, when his mouth lay down on hers. Angela cried in astonishment and pressed her lips together. But the feeling in her shocked her. She had to free herself, before... before what? Enjoying the kiss? No, never! She said to herself. Her hands lay on the shoulders of the man and she tried softly to push him away from her and roll herself off the sofa. But he suddenly grabbed her hands holding them softly, while his mouth took his path over her cheek to her neck. "Uh... no!" Angela closed her eyes. "Stop that... will you?" but he didn't even give a try to stop. Angela sighed. "Trelawney! Damned... what are you thinking?" - "Sean! I'm Sean!" he whispered. "My little angel-princess!" His mouth went back to her mouth and this time Angela didn't succeed. After a short time, she opened her mouth to deepen the kiss, her hands softly stroking the cheeks of the man, who was her enemy. And when she realized, that he was her enemy, she pushed him away with all her power and got up. She leaned against the window and closed her eyes. "If you think, that I'll let myself fool in that way, you're wrong!" she said and turned around. "Besides I don't like to be overwhelmed like that, understood?" Angela grabbed her laptop. "Maybe I should go now!" He laughed. "and where? Run away? That's typical. You always run away!" - "You can't compare that! I usually run away, because you want to kill me!" She sighed. "Okay, what's your suggest?" - "You stay here and we just sleep, and tomorrow... we'll see..." - "Well... then that's it!...I take the bed!" Angela demanded and the man looked up. "Really. Do you? Okay... then I'll take the sofa!" Angela looked at him in astonishment. "Giving up, Mr. Trelawney? That's not your style!" - "no, it isn't!" He smiled in a weird way and Angela looked at him. What did that mean? Sorcerer was right. She had to be careful. Very careful. This man was dangerous, and Angela wasn't sure, if he was only dangerous for her as praetorian. "Yeah!" Angela whispered and sighed. "But Sorcerer, how do you think that? I can't... just go to a computer, while he's standing behind me!" - "I have the program. You can do it from your laptop! You'll do that!" - "Simple to say for someone, who hasn't to do that! Hack into the government systems isn't very easy!" - "Sure, but that's why I ask you to do it!" - "was that a compliment or an insult?" - "What do you think it was?" - "Uh... stop playing jokes. I've a headache... and if I've to do that... I'll start now!" Angela finished the chat program and logged into the internet. She took her laptop and went to the window, for having a little bit of light. Trelawney slept on the sofa and he didn't seem to have awaken. So she sat down on the little table and started to tip on her keys. "Mmm... there you are, guy!" She looked at some symbols on her screen. "Mmm... if I didn't know better... I'd say, that's you Trelawney!" she murmured and blocked the way of the praetorian hacker. "Well... here we are, sunny Boy!" She grinned, but suddenly her eyes got wide. "That can't be! He blocked my keys! This..." she tapped on her keys for blocking the next way. "You'll not destroy our government in hacking into their system!" She smiled, when she saw, that her method was successful. "Angela! What the hell are you doing there. It's... 2 am!" Angela moaned. "I don't know, when it is your time to work, but mine is days and nights!" He jumped up from the sofa and went behind her. "What's that?" Angela looked at her screen again. "I dunno!" - "Sure! You know!" - "Maybe! But that doesn't mean, that I'll tell you." Angela turned around. "go back to your bed!" She said angrily, but he didn't even think about it. "I guess... you're trying to stop the praetorian's try to hack into the government systems." - "Damned!" Angela looked at her screen. "Okay... you didn't want better! I'll make you a little present, praetorian devil!" She send a virus to the hacker. "I guess, you'll be down soon!" While she protected the government systems, Trelawney started to kiss her neck. "You're beautiful, if you're that angry!" Angela giggled. "no... stop that! Please... I... uhh..." She saw, that the hacker broke through her barrier. "Stop that, Trelawney, I... hey..." She constructed a new barrier and tried softly to push the man away. "What are you thinking? I said..." - "Shht!" His mouth met hers and she got silent. He smothered her words in kissing her, and it was the most passionate and soft kiss, Angela had ever had. Slowly, she let her hands go from the keys and wrap them around the neck of the man. He pulled her softly from her chair to the ground and lay her down on the carpet, while he didn't let go of her mouth. Angela sighed softly and when he finally finished the kiss, she looked into his eyes. She wanted to say so many things, but she wasn't able to. There was nothing, that would have stopped her to say things, she just couldn't. She didn't see, that the hacker was finally destroyed by the virus she had sent him, she just felt the next kiss, which made her completely weak-minded. She felt as if she flew high in the heavens. Never had she imagined a situation like that. "We have to stop!" she whispered into the man's ear when he kissed her neck. She felt his smile. "Do we? I don't think so!" She stroke his hairs and lay back on earth, when he lowered his mouth to hers. His mouth met hers again, but only short, then it found its way down her neck. He stopped at her shirt and tried to pull it over her head. Angela helped him, although she didn't want to. "Listen... you are... my enemy... we..." she started, while she was kissing him full of longing. He stroke her cheek and looked deeply into her eyes. "Stop talking!" he demanded softly and pulled her up to her feet. After he had gotten rid of her shirt, he lay her down on the bed, but didn't let her mouth go. Angela deepened the kiss more and more. She felt Trelawney's hot hands on her bare skin and that turned her to distraction. "Oh god!" she whispered, when his mouth found its way over her neck, going down, staying shortly in the valley between her breasts and continued going down then. He stopped at her belly button and kissed her hotly, letting is tongue circle around it. Angela sighed. She tangled her fingers in the hairs of the man and shut her eyes. When he finally returned to her mouth, he realized, that he had broken her will. He smiled and started to caress her ear. It cost a lot of power to keep his control and so he went further. His hands searched for the fastener of her bra. Angela moaned. "It's not fair!" she gasped and held his hands. "What? What isn't fair?" He asked breathless. Angela opened his shirt. "All... all this... is just not fair!" She pulled his face to hers and kissed him again. "You're such a... happy man... you can have family... and I am always... escaping..." She kissed him again. "That's just not fair! I should... hate you!" She stroke his cheek. "But... I just can't." She smiled. "At least not now! Tomorrow... maybe... but not tonight!" He grinned. "Agreed!" Then he opened her bra. Angela shut her eyes and wrapped her arms around him. She started to kiss his ear and his neck, while she stroke his shirt over his shoulder. He was attractive, no question, but when had she started to feel such an attraction to him? She didn't know, and... when she thought about it... she didn't want to think about it now. "Angel? Are you there?" Angela sighed tortured. "No..." she murmured and started to get up, but he held her in his arms. "Don't leave." He whispered into her ear and she felt his hot skin on her back. She lay her head back on his shoulder and let him softly stroking her shoulders with his lips. Her hairs tangled around the shoulder of Trelawney and he took a deep breath. No question, Angela was the most fascinating girl he had ever seen. "Angela? What's going on? Why don't you say anything?" Angela opened her eyes and freed herself she got up and hold her bra with one arm. "Sorcerer! What the hell are you thinking, what time it is?" She tried to sound normal. "I'm sorry, I just thought, we said, you'll give me a message, when you stopped that guy." - "I forgot, okay? I am tired! Goodnight..." - "Are you alright? You sound so..." - "WHAT???" Angela stroke some hairs out of her face. "Sorcerer... damned... I just want to sleep... I don't live only for stopping some damned praetorians." - "Angela... where is that guy... Trelawney?" - "What? Trelawney... why?" - "You should reduce your volume, if you don't want he to awake!" Angela shut her eyes. "Goodnight, Sorcerer!" then she shut the laptop with a bang. "Remember me of killing him!" she growled and went back to the bed. Trelawney pulled her onto his knees. "Tomorrow, okay?" Then he started to kiss her again, more passionate than before and Angela let him pull her bra out. Her mouth didn't loose his' and so they fell onto the bed again. When she stopped kissing him, Angela looked down into his dark brown eyes. She still couldn't believe what she was going to do, but she didn't want to stop either. Her hand stroked lightly the cheek of Trelawney. "My enemy!" Angela whispered. "No!" he answered, turned her around and lay her down on the blanket. "Not you enemy! At least not now!" Angela was confused. "What does that mean?" - "It means, what I said!" he whispered, then he shut her mouth with a soft kiss. Angela had never been seduced that softly. She wasn't able to resist the soft kisses and touches. She just wanted more. "You're so beautiful!" When she heard this words, Angela sighed tortured. She tangled her hand into the hair of the man, led him to the places where she wanted to be kissed. She had never thought, that a man, she had her whole 'new-life' fought against, could cause that feelings in her. But... out of question... he did. Well... sure, he was a bit older as she... but not much. At least she thought so. And suddenly she realized, that she didn't even know the age of her lover. "May I ask a question?" she sighed with eyes shut. "Sure!" he replied. "How old are you?" She felt his mouth cover her ear and his soft laughter. "What the hell are you thinking of while I'm kissing you?" - "Let's say... it came to my mind!" she smiled, still eyes closed. He took a deep breath. "Is it important to you?" - "You know my age, don't you? Sure, you do! You must... you erased me!" She sighed and he did at the same moment. They laughed. "So... I'm 39. And you're... 28, aren't you?" - "Correct... did you study my data?" - "Day and night... I have your photo under my pillow!" he said ironic and she smiled, while she started to kiss his cheek and ear. "I feel honored!" she whispered seductive and he moaned. "Oh, wish, you hadn't done this!" Then he grabbed her and she started to laugh. "What are you doing?" - "You're my prisoner, Angel!" He kissed her passionate and seductive at the same time. Angela moaned. "Oh... my devil!" She laughed. His kiss became more and more demanding and Angela gave herself into the feelings she got. When Sean Trelawney took her hands and hold them in a soft grip over her head, she protested shortly before she gave up completely. The passion between them rose more and more and in the end, both of them felt completely satisfied. Angela stroke the man's hairs, who's head was lying in her breasts. She was too tired to say anything or do otherwise. And so she finally fell in a soft and silent sleep. Some time in the night, Sean Trelawney finally got up and drank a glass of water. When he looked at the bed, where Angela was sleeping, softly illuminated by the full moon light, he smiled. He'd never dreamed of what had happened between them tonight. Well... actually he had dreamt... but never thought, it could come true. He looked down at the gun he was holding in his hands. 'Kill her!' the order of Mr. Oliver had been. 'We get you in her life and you just kill her after you know how she works!' He sighed. It had become more than just a job. He'd gotten used to Angela, their hunting... and he really wasn't sure if he was able to kill her now. When he saw her, lying there, helpless... He lay the gun back and got back under the blanket. When his warmth surrounded Angela, she sighed asleep and pressed closed to Trelawney body. He felt her soft feminine curves and lay his head down on her shoulder. "If you just knew, what you're doing to me, Angel." Slowly he closed his eyes, holding her protectively in his arms. But from what should she be in need of protect except of himself? The sun had already risen, when Angela woke up. At first she didn't exactly know, where she was, but then it came like a waterfall over her. She abruptly sat up, staring al Sean Trelawney, who was still asleep, his arm holding her firmly. Angela freed herself and got up. She shook, when she pulled on her bathrobe. Then she opened the window and breathed deeply. She thought the whole night over. Had it really been her, who had done this??? Despairing she put her face in her hand. "Oh god... what did I?" Suddenly she noticed the gun on the table. She took it and held it in her hand for a little moment. "I'm sure that didn't lie there yesterday evening." She turned around and looked at Trelawney, who was still asleep. "What are you playing for a game?" she murmured and opened the window. Then she raised the gun and threw it far away into the forest behind the house. She heard a far away band, when the gun reached the ground, then there was silence again. "Only for my safety!" Then she stretched herself. Calmly she went to the bathroom. The cold water cooled her skin and she closed her eyes. "For goodness sake... he's my enemy!" Angela whispered this sentence time and again. She went to the shower cabin and turned the water on. It was cold, but it was good. Without pulling her bathrobe out, she went under the cold water. She leaned against the wall and tears flew over her cheeks, mixing themselves with the cold water and finding their way down her body. She wasn't able to believe, what she felt. Life was so unfair. Not even a half hour later she sat in the main room, drinking a cup of coffee and talking to the old woman. "Oh, thank you, the bed was quite well!" - "And your husband is still asleep?" - "My what? My husband?" She looked confused, then she realized who the old woman meant. "Ah... my husband! Yeah!" - "No, he isn't!" Trelawney entered the room. Angela looked at him. "Tre... Sean! Morning!" He rose an eyebrow, when he looked at her. Angela avoided his eyes. "Ah... Good morning, Mr. Haughton! Cup of coffee?" - "I'd like that!" he replied and sat down facing her. Angela drank her coffee without taking notice of him. "I'm missing something!" he said friendly and Angela looked up. "Yeah... Search in the forest!" she said dryly. Trelawney could barely believe, what he heard. "WHAT?" - "I just thought of my safety." Angela said. "You know... I'm not sure, if you're worth trust! We'll see!" she said and smiled friendly back. She could see, that he hadn't mind to slap her face in that moment. But she also knew, that he wouldn't do that because of the old Mrs Conolly. So she just kept drinking her coffee. After the woman had left the room, Trelawney shook his head. "Angela, you didn't change!" he said growling. "You didn't either! You're still working for them, aren't you?" she replied dryly and look directly into his eyes. He leaned back. "They want to kill me!" - "I doubt that!" Angela said. "And last night was..." She hesitated for a little moment. "...a mistake! We should forget about that as fast as possible!" - "I doubt I can!" he answered. "I've never seen a woman like you. Not even Anna Kelly was that... exciting!" - "ANNA KELLY?!?" Angela got up. She wasn't able to believe what she had heard. "You've an affaire with that praetorian bitch?" She realized, what she was saying. "I... I better go now!" She turned. Trelawney jumped up. "Angel!!!" He grabbed her softly and pulled her close to his body. Angela shook. "Let me!" she demanded, but he held her. "You're jealous?" He answered smiling. Angela freed herself. "Why should I be jealous? I think, I just realized something very important!" she answered, then she left the room. Sean Trelawney looked at the door where she had disappeared. He was confused. His feelings got out of control! "Where are you going?" Trelawney could barely keep her speed. "Away!" said Angela, and he grabbed her arm. "Angela! What the hell have I done?" Angela freed herself. "All you want is playing, isn't it? Everything that happened was nothing but a game! Sure... the stupid Angela... I was stupid! Stupid to trust you! You're a nasty son of a bitch, praetorian!" She cried, then she started running again. "Angela!" Rain started to fall, but Angela didn't notice the stormy weather. She kept her laptop under her pullover and just kept on running. Some time later, she finally stopped and turned around. Nobody was there. No houses, no men... just silence and fields... and rain. She sobbed. She had never felt that betrayed before. She confessed, that she'd fallen in love with Trelawney. What a damned mess... She could have thought, that it was illusion! But she'd really hoped, that he loved her. "Enjoyed yourself?" Anna Kelly lay some papers down on Trelawney's table. The man looked up. "Sure! In every respect!" he smiled ironically. Anna started softly to massage his neck. "What about this evening? I've a nice place in a..." - "I don't think so!" He got up, not noticing, what she had done and suggested. "I've many work!" - "But work didn't hold you the last times!" Anna said, sitting down on his desk. "And as I know, Mr. Oliver is in his plane tonight!" He tried to get to his computer keyboard, but Anna held him back. "Where's my answer?" - "Damned! Don't you have work? I said NO!" He pushed her away and looked at his screen. Anna looked at him, then she turned around. "Okay, Trelawney! I'm afraid the boss will not be enthusiastic about hearing that you enjoyed yourself with our Angela instead of getting information!" Sean Trelawney turned around. "First: there didn't happen anything, that comes near an affair in the least! And second: that's really non of your business, okay, sweet? I got more information about her, that we could wish! But that bitch fooled me, so I lost her! And now... please mind your own business!" The jealous woman left the room when she heard the words. Sure, she'd get out, what really happened! "You're so silent, Angela!" - "Really?" Angela gazed at the trees in the park. "How did you get rid of Trelawney?" - "Not important! You said something about a new job?" Silence. "Sorcerer! I don't like joking!" - "Would you like to go to New York? I heard, there's a hacker woman that plans something really evil!" - "Okay! Get me the ticket, and I'm there tomorrow!" She closed her laptop and leaned her head back. Yes, she felt hurt. Really hurt. She had never mind a short affaire, but this had been more than an affaire. She opened her laptop and began to write. Hi! You are the most barefaced liar, I've ever met! Be sure, we'll meet again, and I'll take revenge! She gave some orders to the computer and the mail was sent. Then she closed her laptop and got up. Slowly, she started to walk to the station. Tomorrow was another day, and she'd await it! THE END of part 1.
