Chapter Three
Why did I dream of you last night instead of him?
Why are you still
in my thoughts,
in my mind,
and in my dreams?
Damn it,
get out already.

I picked up the file that was sitting next to the arm couch.
'It must be some boring file.' I thought as I placed it in my working bag.
I made my way to the bathroom ready to wash out all thoughts of him. My mind kept repeating how his fingers felt on my body. I shivered at the thought of it. I slipped out of my clothes, removing my lenses out of my eyes and sat them in their box. I opened the warm water in the bathtub, searching for my favourite rose-scented bath bomb. When the rose petal bath bomb made contact with water, I watched it fizzing away in silence.
I sat down in the white tube taking deep breaths, closing my eyes.
I want to get out of this shit as soon as possible.
I tried so hard thinking about Greyson, but his face kept washing away, making Adam's face appear in front of me. I pictured him so mad at me with his intense stare. I opened my eyes. I began humming my childhood song "You are my sunshine" in my head so I could relax. Feeling my body ease out in the warm water until I drifted into a deep sleep.
I woke up at the sound of the ringing door. I was still laying in the bathtub my body felt numb. I got up slowly trying not to slip, grabbing my bathrobe that was hooked up behind the bathroom door. I walked through the door, opening it only to see a panicked figure, my eyes were still half-closed.
"I lost my dog. I desperately need your help."
"Violet, what the hell?" I said while yawning.
"Zoe! I told you I lost Milo!" She said with her hands shaking. Her blond hair was sticking up from her head.
"Okay Violet, calm down I will dress in a minute." I finally opened my eyes a little making the sun hit them in a fast strike.
"Oh wow! You have hazel eyes?" Violet looked at me with a surprised face.
"Umm, no I don't." I ran immediately to the bathroom to put on my blue lenses, wash my face and brush my teeth. I got to my bedroom and slipped on some ripped jeans and a black tee-shirt. I tied my hair into a ponytail. I wore my black vans. I snatched a small black bag to place it in my small purse and my phone. Sliding it on my shoulder while making my way to the living room.
"So tell me where you were?" I said while grasping a glass of water.
"I was heading to your house Milo just slipped from my hand and begin running." She said while trying to fix her hair.
"He's a husky you should be more prudent. You can borrow a hair tie or something from my room." I said she nodded and sniffed back a tear while walking into my bedroom. I picked up a cold black coffee from the fridge. I like it warm, cold is only for emergencies.
I drink down the coffee and grabbed an apple from the basket. Violet came out of my room, her hair up in a bun.
"He can't be far, right?" I said and she nodded.
"Okay, let's go!" I drank down the coffee and took the last bite of my apple.
I opened the door after grabbing the keys with me on my way out. "You go that way and I go this way." She nodded sadly and went to the right side.
I walked on the streets while calling Milo's name. After a few blocks. I heard happy barks right behind a tree. I got there and when I saw him I crouched down to hug him tightly.
"Milo!"
When I got up. I saw a man that was standing in front of me all along. He was looking intently at me examining my every move.
"Thank you for taking care of Milo," I said and turned around awkwardly making my way to my house.
"I came here for business Sophia." My real name came out of his mouth as a threat. I tried to control myself. I twisted back and look at him dead in the eyes.
"And you are?" He smirked, holding up his police badge. I gaped at it. 'This can't be.'
"I'm agent Luke." He said before he continued "But I also work as a spy in a mafia, I'm the bad cop in movies." He hissed down at me.
"Well, good to know." I was about to go when he spoke once again. "Not so fast."
I hold on tightly to Milo's rope who was silently sitting there looking at both of us.
"I want more information about Adam Blake. I know you are working with him right now. I want to know more about the sim hid inside his skin." He said composedly.
"You can get it yourself." I declared to him.
"You know very well this is not how it works."
"You are an underground mafia spy with a fake FBI ID!"
"It's not fake! There's a secretive room filled with files we never got into it, it is highly secured." He said with a higher volume.
"Sophia, I lied about one thing... I am not that bad if Adam is saving the world by hiding it, it would calm down my underground colleagues." He whispered.
"I don't believe any shit you are saying right now. But why would I do that?" I said as I crossed my arms. He smirked and took a step closer.
"I am not that good either. Sam might be a good target."
"Zoe!" Violet approached us "You found him!" She bent down to embrace her dog with her arms as he wagged his tail happily.
"We are not done," Luke whispered in my ear before stepping back. Violet looked up happily. "Oh, who's that? Oh wait, are you agent Luke?" I couldn't make any sound my brain was wondering about what he said.
"Yes, it's me." He said as he held his hand for her to shake. "I saw the dog next to my house. I tried finding the owner and here I am." He said with a smile plastered on his face.
"Wait!" I glared up at the strange man, "Where do you know him from? Violet." I looked back at Violet arching my eyebrow, waiting for her to respond.
"Well, umm-" She looked weirdly down on the ground before biting her inner cheek. "We kinda had a drink or two." She shrugged.
My mouth shaped in "o" before fluttering my eyes towards the agent.
"Oh, yeah. Violet right?" He replied with a big smile.
"Yes. So Milo made a new friend." She said while caressing her dog."Good boy, Milo!"
"Yes, he is a good dog." He said while he placed his hand in his pockets. "I think I should go it was nice to meet you and especially you, Zoe." He said while jogging backwards. I forced a smile as he turned and disappeared around the corner.
"Hey Zo, Are you okay?" Violet said after she had nudged my shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, I am good. Let's head back home." I wavered my hand as I headed before her.
"What! He's kinda cute." She screamed to me to hear, as I ignored her.
"Let's go, Milo!" Violet ordered the dog happily.
My mind was all over the place. Thoughts were running as my head felt heavy trying to understand what he was saying.
What if it's true?
What if Adam Blake was saving the world instead of ruining it?
