Chapter 2

The door opens and Aisha walks in. Exhausted as she is, she drops her bag into the couch and collapses into it with a sigh. Its been a very hectic day for her. Considering all the stuff she's been up to recently. Hey, nobody said it was going to be easy.

But it's all she's got. She lies there in the couch with her eyes fixed on the window. She's completely lost in thought. The room is dark but partially lit by the dim light flowing into her room from the opposite building, giving her room a dim blue glow. The light falls on her face leaving her pupil with a blue camouflaged colour.

She gets off the couch and takes off her black leather jacket leaving her white singlet on with her dark wavy hair falling neatly on her shoulders beside her neck. She moves to the mini bar and grabs a bottle. She pours out half a glass and starts drinking, round after round. Suddenly she hears something. There seems to be creaks coming from her bathroom. CLANG!! Something drops into the sink. She quickly grabs her Gun, a magmum from underneath her table and points it directly at the bathroom doorway as she takes quiet steps towards it.

Her hand on the trigger, ready to fire at any threat that might jump out. She moves closer and steady till she gets to the door. She grabs the door knob and turns it gently. Then slowly she pushes it open. She quickly points her gun towards the bathroom, expecting to see someone but no one.

All she sees is a half dark room glowing in dim blue light, the bath tub and the sink. "Perhaps it was just a rat." She thinks to herself. But you can never be sure on these parts of the country. She slowly walks in and takes further steps inside, leaving the door wide open behind her. "Gasp" she hears and immediately turns around pointing a gun at a lady standing in the dark behind the door.

Only the tighs of her jeans downward to her foot appears in the dim light. "Come out!" She orders. The lady slowly steps into the light. Aisha's eyes widen.

"Jessie?" She blurts out in wonder as she flips on the switch allowing light to fill the room. "How many times I gotta tell you not to be invading my room in ma absence.?"

"Oh my God you got a gun?" Jessie asks amazed.

"What are you doing here?" Aisha asks back.

"I went to look for you at your work place but you weren't there. So I decided to wait for you here."

"Wait how did you get in?. Where did you get the keys?"

" Aisha, ive known you for a long time now. Im pretty much sure I can guess where to look for your keys. What are you doing with that gun anyway?" Following Aisha who walks out of the bathroom to the living room.

"Protection?"

"Protection from what?"

"A lot of things." She says as she gets back to the mini bar. Jessie grabs a seat and sits facing her.

"There is something wrong with you Aisha. And I gotta know. Im your friend."

"Im fine." She says flatly. Im just a little tired that's all."

"Cmon Aisha, I know you." She holds her chin and turns her head to face hers. "And I know this is not you. You are not like this. You can tell me." She gives a worried face.

"Im fine Jessie, relax. Who else do you think I am? Abraham Lincoln?" She jokes and heads back to the couch.

She grabs the tv remote from the table and turns on the tv. "Now for the latest trending news, there's been several cases of grand theft happening in Dc and its parts and recently there has been a major grand theft at the national museum. The cops got there only to find the dead bodies of two guards at the entrance, lying in cold blood. Upon entering, they discovered that one of the country's most valuable artefacts, that is the mona lisa has actually been stolen from its place. Detectives are still investigating the crime headed by Detective Duke Hammond of the NYPD. There has been no suspects yet but the detective assures as that the criminal will be brought to justice as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more updates. I am Catherine baker of channel 6 news."

" Huh! Good luck with that." She teases as she turns it off.

"Hey Jessie do you think......." she turns to see jessie with her head on the table. Obviously she's drifted off to sleep.

She smiles and approaches her. Tapping her gently, Jessie jumps up looking very startled. " Dont.....do that!"
"Do what?..." Aisha asks.

"Whatever it is you just did." Aisha laughs.

"Cmon sleepy head. Lets go to bed." Jessie gets up and follows her to her bedroom. Yawning and stretching all the way.
