It had a large, ornate fountain in the middle, and acted like a roundabout for people walking through the mall, either going towards the east, west, north, or south branches. It had been the normal meeting up place with him and Alyssa back in the day. Jacob looked at his phone, checking his messages again, just to be sure he didn’t miss anything. [color=orange][i]Meet me at the mall.[/i][/color] was all it said, so he could only assume it meant the fountain. Jacob grew more and more anxious as time passed, scanning the crowd for Alyssa. After a few minutes, his eyes locked on her, and he could see that she was coming towards him. He kept leaning, standing on his toes, and moving his head to try and see her neckline. But people continued to pass in front of him, blocking his view to perfectly see her. As Arthur was oblivious to the anxiety that Jacob was feeling, he was snapped from his thoughts of Eva when he noticed the short haired woman walk out of the house, on her phone. She looked more serious in real life than in the picture. Arthur had been called a “serious looking” person by all his classmates before. Did his face look like that too? He examined through the binoculars that she was on the phone with someone. But it was obvious she was frustrated at whoever was on the other end, as it was distracting her from hurrying off somewhere. She hung up, got into her car and drove away down the street. Arthur pulled out a notepad and wrote ‘Saturday – 12:34pm – Leave House’. Weekends were usually harder to investigate. It was usually when people weren’t working, and their routine could easily change. Weekdays were easier to learn as they were almost always set in stone. Go to work in the morning, come home in the evening, stay up a few hours, go to bed. Arthur leaned back and continued to watch the house from a distance and pulling up his file on her to read more of the details. At one point in the paperwork it noted a spouse. Usually when the target left the house, he would approach it to inspect it for any weak points. Maybe a window that they’ve never been able to close fully. Or a lock that could easily be picked. But knowing that the woman had a spouse, he figured he would wait until he either left or came home, so Arthur could learn his schedule as well. A few more minutes passed as Arthur scanned the document and his phone vibrated again. If Noah knew how much he was texting a girl when he was supposed to be focusing on a mission... Well, pissed-off was a kind term for his father. [color=pink][i]Got tired of me running through your dreams? If you’d like, you can come take a nap at my place, my parents won’t be home.[/i][/color] His heart exploded at the text message. Come take a nap? Arthur wouldn't be able to sleep knowing he was so close to Eva. And ALONE with her? His heart pounded faster as he read it again, specifically [color=pink][i]take a nap at my place, my parents won't be home.[/i][/color] He had seen that phrase before, specifically in text messages from Terrance. If the gang was trying to get together to hang out, and Terrance texted back, "No, can't, going to sleep at So-and-so's. Her parents are out. ;)", it 100% always meant that he was going to fuck So-and-so. Was Eva inviting him to--? His face flooded with warmth, and his leg felt like it was on fire again. He hadn't changed his pants from the night before, so that damned condom Terrance slipped into his pocket was still hiding there. Now his father would really kill him, if he knew that Arthur was going to abandon his stakeout to be with a girl. Arthur would miss when the woman came home and would miss the possible coming and going of the husband. It would be as if he didn’t even start the mission yet, and Noah hated laziness like this. His fingers tapped on the side of his phone for a few minutes, finding the words to say. [color=dodgerblue][i]Send me your address.[/i][/color] He responded. His heart felt like it was going to burst from his chest and he sighed blissfully, imagining being alone with Eva again. Maybe this time he would be able to kiss more than just her neck. He still felt a tinge of guilt for having left that large bruise on her neck. But it was overpowered by the warmth he felt growing in the pit of his stomach. They were going to be alone, uninterrupted, for longer than 7 minutes. Actually, possibly for hours. Oh, the things he could do with Eva having that much time on his hands. A very tiny smile grew at the corner of Arthur’s lips. Movement from the corner of his eye caught his attention. And to his shock, it was Eva walking down the street. Woah! Was she a neighbor to her target? Arthur was going to have to ask her about her neighbor. Any new and extra details he could get on his target, the better. Wait- Eva no- Don’t walk up to that house, Evelyn isn’t home- Why does she have a key to the house? And Arthur felt the blood drain from his face again. His phone beeped, and checking for a message from Eva, he could see that it was her address… the same address as Evelyn Esperanza. He felt his soul being ripped out of his chest in that moment and Arthur hurriedly grabbed his manila folder, flipping through it. Offspring: One Daughter. That is all it said, and Arthur could only logically conclude that that one daughter was Eva. How did Arthur not know? He realized that he didn’t even know Eva’s full name. Just that she went by Eva, but her full first name was Evangeline. Evangeline Esparanza? Now that sounded like a beautiful name. But Arthur felt significantly conflicted. He couldn’t kill Eva’s mother? That was messed up! Losing a loved one is very painful for normal people, and he couldn’t inflict that kind of pain on Eva. But he also knows he would let down his father by abandon a “perfectly good” mission. And even then, if he didn’t carry it out, his father would. Too many thoughts were running through his head, so many that he didn’t realize he was climbing out of his car, locking it, and approaching her front door. His head was spinning with the thought of killing Eva’s mother, and if anything, he could already hear Eva talk about her mother. If she was anything like Eva, then she had to be the sweetest woman on Earth. But then why did she look so serious and angry? Walking towards the front door, it dawned on Arthur that he had to be careful not to leave too much of his DNA evidence in the house. If his father knew what he was doing, Noah would have had Arthur’s head on a platter. He was seriously jeopardizing the mission and his secrecy right now. Arthur decided to pull up his long blonde hair into a messy man bun. It hurt pulling on his scalp some, but he instantly realized why his father did it. He felt more free to move around than before. Knocking on the front door, Arthur realized she hadn’t closed it fully, as it slowly creaked open. Oh, Eva, please be more careful about closing and locking the door. You don’t know when something evil could slip through. Arthur stepped into the house, pulling off his shoes so he walked around in his socks. It was a really nice home, but the layout was exactly what he had been expecting from the map he had to study of the home. Every wall, stair step, corner, doorway. All exactly what he imagined. The only thing he hadn’t was the furniture, which made the house look very modern. [color=dodgerblue]”Hello? Eva?”[/color] Arthur called out. It had suddenly clicked in Arthur’s mind too- How was he going to explain getting here so fast? Could he get away with just saying he happened to be in the neighborhood?
