CHAPTER 76

SANTIAGO

Martha sidled up to me. When it became clear that the men had been waiting for us, I met them halfway.

When I was up close, I could see that there was something dark and secretive about these men. Perhaps it was in the way they moved lithely, like cats, or the way the shorter of the men kept looking this way and that, as though keeping an eye out for trouble.

"Mr Santiago?" said the taller of the men. He turned slowly to Martha. "Martha?"

"Yes," I replied. "I am Santiago. She is Martha, and you are..."

"Agents from the company you are making plans to work with," the man replied.

"Oh."

"There is something very important that the company has to discuss with you."

I sighed. This was the last thing I wanted at the moment. The confrontation with Glenn, Martha's claims, and now this! They were all coming so fast on the heels of one another that it was exhausting.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but whatever it is we have to discuss will have to wait." I pointed to the elevator. "Martha and I were just about to go into our hotel rooms, before both of you came along. I am sure that we can reschedule another meeting." I reached into my pocket for my card, hesitated. "I expect you already have my number, so you can call me later-"

"I'm afraid that it is not going to work that way," the taller agent insisted. "This meeting can't be shelved until later."

"Why not? It's not like your company gave me a prior notice or a heads up about the meeting-"

"And we apologize for it-"

"But we have been ordered to bring you to the venue of the meeting," said the shorter agent, speaking for the first time. "So coming with us is not optional."

I looked around the lobby, where there was only the curious receptionist who was looking over at us.

"This is damned inconvenient. Where are we holding the meeting anyway? I don't see signs of any other persons apart from you two."

"That is because the meeting is not being held anywhere around here. My colleague and I will take you to the venue." The tall agent stepped away from me and gestured in the direction of the door. "Shall we?"

The shorter agent stared stonily at me, and looked like he would use force if necessary to make us go with them. Irritated at the inconvenience, I beckoned to Martha, brushed past the agent and headed outside.

The men soon flanked Martha and I. They led us to the parking lot where there was an SUV with tinted glasses. The minute Martha and I got in the backseat, an agent got behind the wheel and drove off.

I tapped the seat of the agent in the passenger seat. "Where exactly are we going, Mr... I don't think you told me your name."

The man looked at me through the rearview mirror. "Our names aren't important, sir. We are just merely messengers. You will soon meet those whose names are perhaps worth knowing."

"I see... And for my first question? Where are you taking us?"

"To a secure location for the meeting," was the cryptic reply, and he lapsed into a stony silence.

After some minutes of driving, I nudged Martha who sat at the very edge of the seat and stared sulkily out of the window.

"Hey, Martha," I said in a hushed whisper.

"What?" she ground out.

"These men... the agents. Did you contact them? Do you know anything about this meeting they're talking about?"

"No," she snapped.

"No? I'm just trying to figure out what is going on here."

Martha ignored me and resumed staring out the window. She was obviously still angry with me.

Knowing I would get nothing out of her when she was in this mood, I occupied myself by trying to figure out where exactly we were going.

The driver drove fast and expertly, negotiating turns and taking bends almost too fast for my eyes to follow. He seemed to be taking a circuitous route to wherever it was we were going to.

After about a few minutes of this, I gave up trying to get a map of the routes we took in my head. I just relaxed against the car seat, and wondered what the urgent meeting was all about.

The busy part of the city soon fell behind. We drove on scarcely used roads. Finally, we drove through a mass which shut behind us immediately we got in. I slowly got out.

In front of us was a building four stories high, surrounded by high walls. It had an air of disuse about it, and it definitely had a spooky feel. My first thought was that one could scream here for hours and days on end, and not be heard. I shivered at the thought.

"This way, please," said the tall agent.

I followed him into the building and straight into a room that was set up for a meeting. Three smartly dressed men, with an air of importance who were talking in low tones before we came in, looked up as we came in. The agent ushered Martha and I into seats and marched out.

"Mr Santiago... Martha. Welcome," said one of them, a gray haired man.

Martha grunted and I nodded stiffly.

"We apologize for informing you about this meeting rather abruptly," he continued. "-but it was urgent that we get you two here."

"And what is this very urgent and top secret business?" I asked.

The gray haired man looked to the man on his right who cleared his throat. "You will understand why this is all very hush-hush when you know what this is about. You see, we want you to work on something extremely confidential."

Martha made an impatient gesture. There was a terse note in her voice as she asked, "What exactly are we supposed to work on?"

"Werewolves," said the gray haired man. "You are to work on werewolves."

    CHAPTER 77GLENNImmediately I got off the call I was having with Santi, I was faced with a scornful look from Ann.Immediately her gaze came to me. It was filled with every emotion that had concern and worry smeared over it. I was still a bit cautious about how to use my word's.A shiver danced across my spine, and before I knew what I was doing my heartbeat let out a sound loud enough, so loud enough that it echoed through the room.She walked toward where I was, covering the rest of the spaces, I didn’t expect as her hands felt warm upon my chin giving me a questioning look."Are you about to cry?"I slapped her hands away. "Of course not."Her face still rested on me not departing—"What?" I rolled my eyes asking."I should be asking that same question."All of a sudden, I could feel that spite that came from deep inside of me. I didn't know who it was directed at but it was there the dark feeling that couldn't be justified in any way.Some part of me was refusing to accept the f

    CHAPTER 78SANTIAGOI walked out of the conference room where the meeting was being held, in a rush, and then I halted as I got out to the hallway.I loosened my tie a bit, and squinted my eyes in discomfort and sweat beads popped out on my forehead. I grunted as I opened my eyes widely, and this place seemed like it was upside down and like it was going to fall.I leaned on the wall for support as my eyes became fuzzy and blurry and then my breath was faster. What the hell was just said in the meeting room? That werewolves existed?It wouldn't be possible for such fantasy creatures to exist in the real world. The most unbelievable thing was that Martha and I were asked to work on it. Why did we have to work on something like that?So, if they were actually real, then we are in danger as werewolves are known to be quite dangerous, especially to humans.Soon, the meeting ended, and Martha and I were in the car, driving back home.“So, how do you think we are going to go about this?

At that moment I could feel every

I can't find it. That means you must have taken it." When I still continued to stare at her blankly, she stamped her foot in annoyance. "I am talking about the files that were in an envelope. I handed them over to you for a while, remember? Or are you going to deny knowledge of that too?""Oh. I remember the files now. But I dropped it in the car. Didn't you see it there?""Where do you think was the first place I checked? Of course, I went searched the car. It isn't there.""If you are sure that you checked the car, even the pigeon hole properly-""-For Pete's sake! Santiago. I checked, okay? I'm not a moron-""-Then I suggest that you check somewhere else."She waved her hand, calling attention to the state of the room. "What do you think I've been doing. Huh?

    CHAPTER 82SANTIAGO.I was totally annoyed at the entire situation, looking deep in her eyes I could see the fact that she was lying but why then to my face.Still I couldn't understand why she would. .. The entire situation looked confusing to me even as I drove out of the car park in fury.My heart was pounding heavily from deep within, I slammed my hands against the steering wheel of the rented car In frustration.For a minute, my mind reflected on what had happened the night I picked her up for dinner. She was the first ever person to ride in the car with me since I rented it newly and if the envelope had gone missing that day it was most definitely her.While I knew without conviction that it was seized by her, I had to tell myself it might be wrong as well. There were chances that Martha would have taken it as well.As such I was in a foul mood while parking the car at the garage.

    CHAPTER 83SANTIAGOI dropped the cup on the wooden table, and poured another shot, then drank up. The music that was being played wasn’t helping my mood in any way as I continued to worry about what I had done at Glenn’s place.I sighed heavily, and drank the last shot, then stood up to leave. I only drank half a bottle, so I didn’t feel tipsy or wasted. I couldn’t endure the horrible feeling anymore, so I decided to head for Glenn’s house.I walked out of the pub, and the night breeze howled, and caressed my skin, making me feel a bit relieved, but it wasn’t enough. I got into my car, and started the engine, then drove off to Glenn’s place.It was best to apologize for dashing out of her house angrily. At least, if she was going to forgive me, I would feel much better than drinking to forget the horrible feeling and then remember it after I’m all cleared up.In no time, I got to her house, and parked my car outside. I got out of the car, and exhaled, hoping that things would work ou

I gave the couple my brightest smile and watched as they left the counter.I was still there watching them walk hand in hand and imagining that it was Santiago and I when she walked up to me.She had a smirk on her face and I tried to imagine what it was for when she slide the phone toward where I was—"No excuses, make the fucking call!"It had been two days since she had been trying to get me to do that but I was still right there at the counter still deciding if I should do that all or not, as it turned out it was the stupidest thing anyone could ever do, thinking about it again reminded me of how crazy it was."I don't think this is a good idea." I hollered pointing to how serious it was getting involved in what I would term as a risk."Do you have anything else planned?" She asked and I shook my head ."Or would you rather face Santiago yourself and come out to tell him what you did?"I could te

He answered after a while ignoring my first question and going for the second instead.The moment he hung up, I shared a look with him. The entire feeling I got from all of this was that he was still pissed about my actions earlier. I sat there with the phone against my ears doing nothing except buzzing."What did he say?" Anna spoke, breaking the silence.I sighed. "He is coming to meet me, but he said nothing about traveling with him… I guess he is still angry.
