Day 6
Low Road
The ride from the train station made her tired. It always did. She had never gotten used to it in all of the years of her being in this line of work. She saw herself as a necessary evil. A hero in a sense. But just in a sense. In a different context she could be seen as the one who was there to keep things safe for the future. For future generations. Without her they would in fact not exist. She has convinced herself of this years ago.
Her amber lipstick that was framed in a slight shade of darkness resembled smouldering charcoal. She always wanted to make an impression. To give them the image that they desired. She however was no image. She was a real person. With hopes and dreams like anybody else. She simply saw the world in two camps. Good and evil. and she had the unique distinction of being in the third camp "grey."
As she lifted the suitcase onto her lap it became clear that she needed to do this alone. Sure she took orders but she was also allowed to give them and this was an opportunity that would never come again. If he were still out there, if he actually existed, she would find him. She didn't want anyone to get in her way. She would do anything to stop that from happening.

Day 5
Low Road
She thought back to a happier time in her life. When he and her were inseparable. But now they were never together, always apart. Forever.
Nothing is permanent in life. Everything is in change. She quickly grabbed the suitcase and walked briskly through the crowd of travellers. She hadn't even noticed them before. The music kept her in a constant state of isolation. Closed off from the world. So safe and secure. Not remembering where she was or what she was there to do.
"Stay on task," she quietly spoke to herself. She pulled the ibuds out with one hand and made her way through the exit doors. Quickly darting to her ride that was awaiting. A tall man nodded to her and got in the car. The driver sped away. She sat alone for a few seconds grasping her breath and catching her thoughts. The tide was turning. Would she have to be alone much longer? Would all the answers that she was awaiting be found within the suitcase? There were only a few people in the world who knew the contents. and she was about to become on of them.

Day 4
Low Road
She travelled for hours waiting to find him. She had only read about him in books. Did he exist? Was he a figment of her imagination?
She slowly pulled out her ipod from her back pocket, carefully unwrapped the headphones, put the ibuds in her ears, and turned the music on. After fidgeting with the device she settled on a selection. A musical selection that would transport her to another moment in time.
Would he be different than the other ones. One would hope. But for all her desperation she was also optimistic. She wanted a man who wouldn't lie to her. Not this time. What was in the suitcase that was just was placed next to her left leg. She turned to look and saw the back of a man exiting the train station. She couldn't make him out from the crowd. Was he the one?
