Chasing Shadows……Chapter Eight
The next day:
Gabrielle and Emily has spent all morning at work sorting through the video and photo’s that they took last night of the concert.
At eleven they then walk over to their bosses Jim’s office and then give him their report and videos and photo’s.
“This is good stuff girls. These are really good photo’s Emily. Very clean and clear” Jim says nodding his head to Emily, as he’s looking though the photos.
“Thanks” Emily says beaming.
“So, how was Jared with being interviewed?” Jim then asks Gabrielle.
Emily gives a look to Gabrielle, and Gabrielle shakes her head to her and then answers Jim, “He was fine, very professional”
“Oh, really? Not a goof ball or anything? Didn’t even give you a hard time?” Jim asks her in surprise.
“No, as I said, he was very professional” Gabrielle says now lowing her head.
“Hum, that’s really wired. The poor people before you said it was really hard to get anything out of him, well, you read the report. Guess he must have liked you” Jim says now putting the report in a folder and now popping the video into the player.
“Yeah, he sure did” Gabrielle mutters in a very angry tone.
Emily then kicks her in the leg and hisses to her, “Would you stop it?!”
“What was that Emily?” Jim then asks her now turning around and looking at her.
“Nothing, just want to warn you that the vid is a bit dark, don’t have many lights in there” Emily says covering herself up.
“Oh, that’s ok, as long as you got a good look of them playing” Jim says now turning back to the video. Gabrielle then gives Emily a poison look, and Emily gives a look right back at her.
An hour later:
Gabrielle and Emily get back to their offices after spending an hour looking over their work with Jim.
The second Gabrielle sits down in her chair, her cell phone rings.
“Hello?” she says picking it up.
“What the hell is it with you and that poor guy?!” Emily’s angry voice comes over the lone.
“I told you I don’t like him!” Gabrielle says.
“Well that’s all fine and dandy, but for the love of god give it up! Ok, you hate him, you’ll never see him again, so move on with life! Ok?”
Gabrielle sighs and then says, “Yeah ok”
“Good, I’ll talk to you later then”
“Ok bye”
“Bye” and then the girls hang up.
Two hours later:
While Gabrielle is typing up her report, her cell phone rings again.
“Oh what now M?” Gabrielle says to herself picking it up.
“Hello Gabrielle, it Shannon, remember? From last night?” comes Shannon’s voice on the other line.
“Shannon! Yeah I remember! How are you?” Gabrielle says.
“Good, how are you?” Shannon says.
“Fine fine, so what’s up?”
“Calling you about coffee today…?”
“Oh yeah! Almost forgot! So when and where do you ant to meet?”
“Um, well it’s a quarter to three, and that’s when we’re supposed to meet”
“ Oh yeah! Cool sounds good. So where too?”
“How about me and Tomo pick you up?”
“Sure! Let me give you the address to the building”
Then Gabrielle gives Shannon the address and then the two hang up.
Gabrielle then calls Emily.
“M, we’ve got coffee in fifteen with Tomo and Shannon. And their picking us up” she says when Emily picks up
her phone.
“Ok! Be over to you office in five!” Emily says.
“Ok!”
And then they hang up.
Two minutes later Emily comes bursting into Gabrielle’s office.
“I thought you said five?” Gabrielle says to her.
“Yeah well, didn’t have that much to do as I thought” Emily says now sitting down in a chair.
Then thirteen minutes pass when Gabrielle’s phone suddenly rings.
“We’re here!” Shannon says the minutes she picks up.
“Ok, coming to you now!” Gabrielle says now picking up her purse.
Emily then grabs her’s and then the two run down to the lobby and out the door.
Then they see Shannon leaning up against a black car.
He waves to the girls, and the girl’s wave back now walking over to him.
Then as Gabrielle nears the car, she suddenly sees who’s in the drivers set.
“What the hell?!” she says now stopping in her tracks.
Emily stops too. “What?!” she asks her looking at the car.
Meanwhile, Shannon sees that Gabrielle has stopped walking.
“Oops, looks like your covers blown bro” he then says to the guy in the drivers set.
“Wonderful” Jared says now rolling down the window and hitting his head up against the steering wheel.
“Told ya” Tomo now says in the back, being very un-helpful.
