But I'll keep calling outside to see why my boss told me to call. I prepared to leave then after breakfast, it was enough past noon when I left.
"Sir, what's wrong?" I got to a shopping mall by taxi, I don't think anyone followed me. I watched closely around me.
I walked for a while before getting into a department store special clothing and started calling.
"I got word, they've got the identity of the second person who tried to kill you yesterday. But this guy's missing, the police are tracking him. Seems right, he's got a relationship with Elizabeth Ailes."
"so apparently. You investigated the house I reported you to sir."
"Police have checked that the house is empty now, no one at all. They can't break into private property without special permission. If we force them to know it's you reporting, I think the guy from yesterday has been omitted somewhere." He could indeed eliminate people like he said, eliminating five people was like removing trash for him.
"I'm suspected sir, I'm not allowed to go too close. I can't force it, I think you sent me wrong, he's not someone a woman can approach, he's suspicious of why I'm willing to get into this kind of trouble. You better pull me out of here...." I was telling the truth that I should have been pulled from this position.
"Then don't do anything suspicious. Stay there, ... If he meets a guest you've never seen report to us." I sighed, still told to wait here.
"All right..." I finally have to stay here. I don't know what's going on right now, the intrusion assignment this time frustrates me.
I walked into a Japanese restaurant for lunch, while watching my phone.
"You ..." A woman was in front of me pointing at me. I didn't know him, but the guy next to him made me back off.
He is Shun Oguri, the father of Masaki Oguri, a Japanese national whom I hunted down and imprisoned for money laundering two years ago. Maybe that woman knows me because I testified in court. His wealthy family in Japan did not not know his son had a prohibited business but they supported him.
I'm investigating the case and dismantling all of its systems after it made it into his company in the state of Texas that has a more closed-off system than the rest of the state.
"You're the traitor,..." I'm retreating. I can't get into trouble in my disguise right now. I'm retreating. He seems to be carrying a bodyguard! Damnit damnit!
"Don't go you! I want to talk to you!" The woman pointed at me, I reflexively turned around and ran away immediately. Damnit damnit!Damnit damnit! Luckily I wear sneakers and can run fast.
I turned at the department store's first emergency exit. My goal was to disappear in the parking lot hiding among the cars, to the other part of the big mall and disappear from there.
I opened the door immediately and dashed down as soon as I met the first row of cars, turning sharply to the right towards the north entrance around the building, I heard the bodyguards were trying to catch up with me but they quickly lost track of me from being blocked by the cars.
"Where are you Nathalie?" Suddenly Nathan called me after I arrived at another mall. It's still two o'clock in the afternoon instead of him taking me to dinner.
"Ehmm I'm in Macy's. Wh why? We're not just having dinner tonight. I'm close to home..." The Macy's department store was only fifteen minutes from Nathan's residence on Belden Avenue, when I had already turned to Nordstrom's.
"I'm just checking..."
"Ohh..." I immediately suspected someone was following me. "You want us to meet now? I'm at Macy's." He must know I ran with from someone. I'm watching my surroundings I don't think anyone is near me, but maybe I don't know who can follow me even if he can't hear me.
"You're okay, aren't you?" Is he worried about me? Or he just wanted to know what was happening but he naturally could not ask.
"Yes, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me. Indeed why?"
"What's wrong. It's seven o'clock we're out for dinner. Well, tonight we meet."
I was followed for sure. He wanted to know where I was going and I met that guy. What if he asked Oguri... Even though I never opened up I was an FBI agent even in court. I work as a civilian, if he knows what he'll think.
I'm traitor. I betrayed my own boss. This is really not good. What am I supposed to do now. I might actually be killed in the operation this time.
"Yes, I'll see you tonight."
I quickly called my boss again.
"Sir, I just found out I'm being watched." I told you that I met my old case.
"You've never been caught opening your disguise. Just tell me you were threatened by the prosecutor to get dragged along. Oguri was tried and imprisoned in Japan. There was no way Oguri's parents would testify, after all they had only seen you once. You only appeared at that trial once. Be calm...."
"Sir, I'm being watched, he doesn't believe me! Can you just pull me out of this operation. He killed five people overnight. He can finish me off in just five seconds."
"Only you can infiltrate this far, can't, I will try to block any information regarding Oguri, even if he can get to Japan he won't get anything. You have to stay there! Don't do anything suspicious, he's been nice to you, don't waste it. Thinking of how you could get rid of his suspicions. If you manage to solve this case you'll get your promom to be the head of the unit. You will no longer work in the field, you will be the brain of the team." My boss doesn't want to hear my excuses at all.
I was promised a hike. Gosh if he finds out I even fell into the arms of my own target, what should I do if I am observed like this and who observes me slippery like an eel.
