Truth be told

Inspired song- Snake River Conspiracy "How soon is now?"


Mira walked back to her car without looking back ignoring the people's stares and whispers (Why did I say that like if I didn't give a shit. Those people are still staring? Whatever, I got more important things to think about. Well that a meeting helped a little, but nothing beats hacking) by the time she reached the hotel (2 a.m.! Dee is going to give me holy hell about this) her eyes were half open she started to feel for the key card in her pocket went opened the door to her room, closed it threw herself on the bed and went to sleep.

Mira woke to the light of day the sun shined brightly through her window she looked at her watch it was 8:00 a.m. still sleepy her hotel phone rang. She answered it "Hello," she said groggily. "Hey woman were wuz you all night? Girl you got me and Lupe worried," Denadre said in the background she heard Lupe correct him "It's Lupe and me you illiterate!"

"Man, shut up don't cha know its wrong to be buggin' a person while they is talkin'," he shot back. "Anyway," he resumed. "I'm sorry it's just that Jin picked a really far away place from here that's all," Mira said getting up and finding clothes to wear in her bag she looked at her fighting schedule (My match is tomorrow with that guy or thing for that matter)

"Ey! Are you listing to me!" Deandre snapped. "Yes, hey got some news OW!" Mira remembered the gun she took it out it left a mark on her side. "What? You okay?" Deandre said. "Naw, nothin'," Mira said pulling out the gun and changing into some light blue jeans a tight blue shirt, and took out her favorite jacket it was a denim jacket on the back in cursive it said "Angel" with wings on the back. She hid the gun inside the jacket, got the money from her other pants, she stopped took a look at the roses then took the invitation and went to room 217. "Look," Mira said when she arrived at the room. "How the hell did you get this? Did you beat the shit outta some rich guy," Deandre asked her. "Nope, Kazuya sent it to me with a note," Mira said. "So you gonna go," Deandre said reading the invitation. "I dunno I'll ask Lupe, where is she anyway," Mira said looking for her. "She went to go get some food, damn girl I've been lunchin' for some chow mien," Deandre said at the same time Lupe came with a brown paper bag "Okay got us some coffee French vanilla for me, plain black coffee for Dee, a chicken salad for me, some chow mien for Dee, and Mira I didn't know what to get you so I got some orange juice and a sandwich."

"Thanks, but I'm itchin' for something that has meat," Mira snatched the plastic bowl and removed the top of it and started to wolf the salad down with the plastic fork that came with it. Lupe's eyes were blazing with anger "Let go girl let it go," Deandre said consoling her. She didn't pay attention, "Damn it! This always happens you snatch my food with out asking! You pig!" she said shacking her fist into the air. Mira smiled and simply answered, "Hey, I'm the one doing the hard part I sure would like to see you out there with the risk of getting shot in the ass," she immediately changed the subject she didn't feel like arguing today, "Oh yeah, got a surprise for you Dee mind giving it to her?" she said pinning down some lettuce and chicken strips. Deandre gave Lupe the invitation, "Cool girl! How'd you come by this did you beat up someone for it?"

Mira took a chug of coke belched and answered "No, what kind of a beast would I be if I did that? Kazuya sent it to me." Lupe took a look at Mira "First, dude sick cover your mouf, two are you sure?" Mira nodded. "Guess you'll have to accept even if this means a trap," Lupe said rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "Now is this a formal party or a casual one," Deandre said. "Formal," Mira answered finishing the rest of the Coke and this time closing her mouth and making a type of grunting sound, "Excuse me."

"That's better," Lupe, said proudly putting all of the junk food her and Deandre had eaten in the past 3 days in a black plastic bag.

"Hmm, let's see what we can do here," Deandre said pacing around Mira "Dee this time I don't want to be wired," Mira said redoing her hair. "Oh, I see you want to get killed that easily?" Deandre bantered in a know it all voice. Mira frowned, "Dee, I'm serious."

"Lord, gimme strength," Deandre sighed out. "I should be saying that," Mira taking the cartridge out of her gun she left the other one under the mattress. "Surprised you don't blow your fucking brains out with it," Lupe bantered, Mira gave her the finger, they both laughed. "Okay, then be back here in a couple hours see what else we can think of," Deandre said. "Deandre! What in the hell is this," Lupe raising her voice and putting her hand on her hip. "What's what?" He asked dumbfounded. "Why in the hell do you have Lolita's picture!" she said flinging the picture at him Lolita was one of Lupe best friends. "It's none of your business!" Deandre snapped. "Yes, it is my business!" she roared out.



"That's enough you two!" Mira said in a commanding tone, "You both can argue about this when this is over, now then I leaving I have to go talk to Lei Wulong," Mira said. Both Lupe and Deandre looked at each other and gave Mira a funny look "Oh! The supa cop from Hong Kong eh?" Deandre started to grin. "Word on the street is that he's getting soft," Lupe too was grinning. "Man, I bet the man's detective skills are so bad now, that he couldn't even pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the bottom of the heel!" Deandre laughed out, Lupe joined in. "Come on, I heard it from the man himself he's been having a hard time," Mira said feeling sorry for Lei. "Of course he's having a hard time," Deandre said in a normal tone then, "Yeah, I heard his woman left him too, but then again I bet he keeps his HAND being busy and all!" Deandre said roaring out with laughter again, clapping his hands and stomping on the floor, Lupe had tears and was red as tomato falling on the ground and still laughing. Mira simply left the room shook her head and headed to the lobby (Dee has a weird sense of humor, damn, I can just imagine how Interpol is..)

"Doesn't that damn bear give up," Paul said in an annoyed tone looking at his schedule. "Kuma is still alive?" Marshall was surprised a bit. "Naw, that thing died years ago this is the new one, but anyway I shouldn't have no prob kickin' that fur ball's ass," Paul notice Mira coming out of the elevator and taking a hotel brochure and looking at the map. Paul elbowed Marshall "Hey it's that cutie I met two days ago." Marshall shook his head, "Don't you remember?"

Paul raised and eyebrow, "What?"

Marshall grunted, "She knocked you unconscious, but I guess you were too intoxicated too remember."

Paul put on a thought full look on his face, "No, but I still got my charm, watch me." He cracked his knuckled and gave Marshall a cheesy smile. Marshall simply sighed and smeared his hand down his face and mumbled to himself, "This is just going to be of repeat when that blonde woman that slap him silly."

Paul started walking toward Mira feeling confident. Mira finally choose a decent spot where she and Lei can talk she concentrated (He's in the bar, but what's that weird cheesy feeling I'm getting) she thought (Shit, it's that guy what's his name? Paul!) He came behind her wrapped his arms around her "So, like that kiss that I gave ya'?" (This guy doesn't know when to quit, but I'll give him his just desserts)

Mira turned her head towards him gave him a sly smile "Well, I've had better, but you know what?" Paul was grinning ear to ear, "What?"

"Lean a little closer hon and I'll tell you," Mira purred out. He leaned close and at that same moment Mira elbowed him in the side of his ribs put her foot behind his ankle and pulled he crashed down to the ground. He let out a groan of pain "You bitch!" he spat. "That outta teach you not to hit on women half your years, pops!" She laughed lightly, she turned to her right she found the bar (Silly me it was right across from me) she walking quickly she entered the bar. Paul got up despise the pain that throbbed in his side some people were staring at him some were laughing at what happened. He turned red and angry stomped off in rage to go look for Mira. Marshall followed along worried about the trouble his hot-blooded friend can get into. At the bar they weren't many that many people were there at the time just a table or two was filled up and Lei at the counter sipping some coffee. She sat by him "Hey," she greeted him taking his coffee and taking a chug out of it, "Blek," she said putting the coffee back on the counter, "The hell did you put in there?"

"Irish creamer," Lei replied simply shaking his head and reframing himself from giggling. "So what's up," she said playfully. "Not much, hey, since you're from intelligence can you get some information on a certain person," Lei asked. "Sure thing what's his or hers name," Mira said. "Nina Williams," he answered. Mira looked at Lei she remembered stories about Nina the notorious "Silent Assassin". Two years ago she was offered a job from Interpol because Nina had escaped from some cryogenic experiment to stop her but to Mira it ment more sleepless nights and less vacation time, but more pay. She was fine being with the C.I.A and she had family over there Byron and her long time friend Deandre. She just met Lupe when she joined the agency. "Just what do you want to do with Williams?" Mira asked worried what Lei was jumping at. "Last night I heard from a reliable source that she is the assassin hired by the mafia to assassinate a renowned boxer named Steve Fox that's in the tournament," He said. "Are you crazy man?! Going after Nina Williams!? Even I was offered a job to take her down but I'm not that stupid!" Mira's eyes widened in shock of his news. She calmed down she realized what Lei was doing and the only reason he can restore his honor, "If it helps then okay, but I'm expecting your ass to be in the morgue soon." Lei smiled, "Thanks you're a life saver." Mira put her hand on her chin and sighed, "Don't thank me yet buster, so are you going to tell some 411 on the Mishima's?"

"Well, to start off with" Paul stormed in his nostrils flared like a bulls and he also looked at Mira like the bull looks at a matador with a red cape he was about ready to charge at her but Marshall was there in time to interfere, Paul pushed him aside still went to Mira, "No one ever does that to me!" he said grabbing her arm. Mira still kept her cool she just sat there shook away from his grip and ignored him, "So any way you were saying," Mira adjusted her jacket. Paul was furious "Don't ignore me! Damn it!" he shot his fist at her. As if on cue, she caught his fist then she glared at him started to tighten her hold Paul's fist he plop down to his knees pain flooded through his arm and a cracking sound had been audible to everyone's ears the people from the two table turned around. Marshall noticed something different in Mira's pupils turned from amber to a ruby-red "Jesus Mira! Let him go," Lei said in an urgent tone. Mira snapped out of it and let go of Paul "Huh? Oh, Man! I'm sorry! I.." Mira back away from him Paul got to his feet and almost lunged at her, both Lei and Marshall were holding the angry American back "I'm gonna kick yer ass when we fight I swear it kid! It's personal!" he hollered. "Paul! Let's just get the hell out of here! I don't want any trouble here!" Marshall snapped. The bartender started to speak in an angry tone in Japanese it wasn't the same bartender that Mira met two days ago "Uh, what's he saying," Mira asked. Lei answered for her "He said that the four of us to get the hell out before he calls security." Mira weakly smiled, "Guess so, hey there's this other restaurant on this floor wanna go there?" Lei shrugged, "Wouldn't hurt." The both started to leave when Mira stopped turned back to Marshall "Sorry, we had to meet under such weird circumstances again, the names Elena." Marshall gave her a blank look then smiled. Mira laughed lightly then left. "Traitor! Making friends with the enemy," Paul snapped. "Paul, there something odd about that girl and I don't think it's a good idea for you to challenge her," Marshall leaving the bar the short bartender giving Paul a glare. Paul just snapped at him, "The fuck are you looking at!" now holding his numb hand.

The restaurant was more brighter than the bar it had a refined, but casual look to it. The wooden floor was had a nice dark wine color to it. They tables had a khaki colored cloths on them and beautifully designed silverware and china to top it off. A waitress who noticed Mira and Lei came to them she spoke in a mid Japanese accent, "Smoking or non-smoking?"

"Non-smoking please," Mira answered the waitress led them both to one of the table by a window that had a small balcony to it. While the two got seated the waitress handed them menus, "I'll call me back when you're ready to order," She hurried off to attend other people. They both opened their menus it was written in Japanese. "Sure the waitress speaks English but are the menus no.." Mira said emphasized on her last word. "Don't worry I can translate what it says on there," Lei assured her, "And by the way.." he put his menu down took her menu and flipped it the correct way. "I knew that," Mira said a bit embarrassed. "Yeah, sure you did," Lei said opening the menu and checking what they had on there "I'll just have a drink," she said. "Ditto," Lei agreed. The waitress came back, "So what's it going to be?"

"Water," they both said at the same time. "Okay," the waitress said a little look at them oddly and she left to get the drinks. "Where were we," Mira said. "Mishimas," Lei reminded her. "Oh yeah, how do you know," Mira said. "I have some information but it's best if you check with your agency," Lei told her. "Who cares besides you've been to two of the three tournaments," she said drumming her fingers on the table. "That's right, but are you sure you want to hear this from me," Lei said while the waitress came and served them the two glasses of water and leaving a pitcher with them. Mira took a sip from her water, "Yeah." Lei looked at his water, "Okay, I'll start when I first joined the tournament, it was the second one at that time, oh yeah this was about 20 years ago," he said. "Damn, that's long! Surprised you haven't gone wrinkly," Mira said in surprise. "Very funny squirt, anyway," He continued, "My partner was killed by the mafia, I found some information linking Kazuya to the mob but not enough to convict him so I entered hoping to bust Kazuya and crush his organization, during that time I met a woman her name was Jun Kazama she was an officer for the WWWC she was there to arrest Kazuya for smuggling endangered species, we both joined forces to bring Kazuya down but then.." Lei trailed off. "Then what?" Mira took a gulp of her water. "She fell in love with him.." Lei eyes lowered. Mira almost choked on her water making a snorting noise, "Are you okay?" Lei said getting up from his seat. Mira nodded, "Yeah fine," she said in a rasp voice then coughed, "That just caught me off guard that's all." Lei sat back down, "Same here, she told me that he had an evil stirring inside him and she had to free him from it, god damn it that bastard didn't deserve her," Lei said in a hurt voice. (Some how this all connects but how Kazuya was or is possessed by evil then what's really under that man? Jun had psychic powers I can tell but she controlled her perfectly hell she mastered it. Why do I feel if I knew her? Could I be feeling what Lei is feeling? He loved her, but she didn't have feelings for him only that of friends but that was it. Maybe if I would of met her? But that wouldn't be possible! How do I know so much?! What's going on with me?! I keep feeling something that I don't want to feel! Is Lei doing this? Are my thoughts getting mixed with his! I want it to stop! Why won't stop! STOP! STOP! STOP!) The glass that Mira had vibrated, a million cracks filled the glass then it all shatter down with the water spilling. Mira stood up and saw the tiny broken bits of glass she took a look at Lei he was looking at the broken glass and spilled water then at her. (Oh shit!) She thought the waitress came and started to clean up the mess. Mira gave the waitress a twenty and left the restaurant avoiding the people's stares. Lei came after her but she had already reached the elevator she turned around shut the door with her will right at his face, she directed the elevator to go to the 12th floor the door opened by them selves with the ding sound to them she went out and quickly got to her room. She knew what she did and only one word could describe how she felt. Embarrassed.

Mira groaned and fell on the bed laid there she put the over her head wishing it was a bag so she could cover her face. (This always happened when I was kid) "Why now?" she groaned out. She remembered one day before her mother died she broke her mother prized vase and at the same time her mom came in from work. Mira was very nervous, she didn't know if she was going to either piss or shit in her pants. Then the room started to shake violently more things broke, the more Mira got nervous, and things started to fly across the room. The madness all stopped when her mom cried out her name then Mira fainted. Mira turned redder she felt like today was a repeat of that incident. (Come girl quit exaggerating, so you accidentally broke a glass of water. Big deal I should be embarrassed about what happened to days ago not about some silly broken glass!) She giggled but then she put more thought to it (It's because Lei was there he saw, he knows, I invade his privacy, but wait a minute I don't really know how to control this, so that kinda makes me not guilty, it was just like if I walked in on him..eww) Mira flinched then laughed out loud.

Then she heard a knock on the door "Coming," she opened the door it was Julia and Ling. "Hey you two," Mira greeted. "Hi, we just wanted to see what's up, can we come in," Ling said. "Sure," Mira invited them in, "What's up with the back pack?" she asked Julia. "Oh, I have some books in here," Julia said lifting her backpack a little. "Julia, you bookworm, no wonder you got those glasses," Ling said sighing out. "Hey! I like to read too," Mira said sitting on the bed as so did Ling and Julia. Julia gave her a surprised look, "Really? What type of books do you read?" Mira for some reason got shy at this question, "Well, I dig reading about ancient civilizations."

"What's your favorite civilization?" Julia said in a cheerful tone. "I have two favs actually, Aztec and Egyptian," Mira said also feeling cheery herself. "Nerds," Ling said in an arrogant but playful tone, "Any sign of Jin?" Ling asked. "Yeah," Mira said. "Where," Ling said surprised at how fast Mira found him. "After they handed out the schedules," Mira said taking her laptop then she thought for a moment (Why the hell did I get the laptop? I can just go on the computers that Dee has and get on there, nice going. Ass.) "Nice laptop," Julia complimented. "Thanks," Mira said getting up and putting on the desk then sitting back down. "Did you talk to him," Ling was carefully not to sound too eager to know. "Yes," Mira said sensing Ling's impatience. "What did you talk about," Julia asked. "Oh, just stuff," Mira, said. "What kind of stuff, because the only time I saw him talk was when he was with his grandfather or asking a teacher a question," Ling asked. "I said that you were looking for him," Mira lied. "Really! What did he say!" Ling said blowing her cover of being calm. (Silly girl confused with same feelings that you have for Red with Jin) "He was a bit surprised," Mira said choosing her words carefully. "Did you tell him about the email?" Ling said. "Oh, damn! I'm sorry I forgot to tell him about that," Mira said slapping her self on the forehead. "It's okay, I'm just glad to know he's all right, I can ask him about the email later if I meet up with him," Ling was undoing one of her pigtails.

"So what brought you into the tournament," Julia asked. "Well, I'm just here to test my skills," Mira said with a smile, "What brought you here?" the phone rang. Mira answered it "Yeah."

"The hell woman the last donut is mine! Yes it's mine! I kept count! No you don't! Give it back! You Bitch! Put the pastry down! What! No, you're the one that's gonna get hurt! My momma! The hell you say about my momma! Oh hell no! You heard me! What? Shut up! I can't believe you gittin worked up over one doughnut like if yo ass ain't big enough all ready! Shut up! Hey, Mira just wanted to call to tell you that..CALL ME THAT ONE MO' TIME AND LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS! No you didn't! That's it! I'm bitch slappin' yo ass! I'll tell you later okay boo.. I ain't a momma's boy! Oh hell no bitch it's on!" Deandre hung up the phone. Mira did the same thing (Ai, Can't we all get along) Ling was looking at Mira with a weird look, "Well there's my crazy cousin for ya."

"From Wisconsin I'm guessing," Ling said while raising an eyebrow. "Yeah," Mira felt a bit embarrassed (I guess they both heard what was going on.)

"Getting back to our conversation," Mira said, "What brought you here?"

"I came here because Heihachi stole some info that is extremely valuable to me," Julia said her blood boiling.

"Oh," Mira said then she looked at Ling who was just staring off into space Mira cracked a sly smile "Still think about what's his name huh?" Ling snapped out of it "No I wasn't thinking about Hwoarang! I..I was just thinking!" Ling, said in an angry tone her cheeks turning pink. "Whoa-oh-oh," Mira jeered, "You're the one who mentioned his name I can just imagine you "Oh, Hwoarang!" Mira threw herself on the bed and put her hand over her head Julia giggled, "You know you'd turn melt if he started hold tightly like in the romantic cover books."

"Oh yeah! Who sent you the flowers," Ling countered. "The flowers? I..uh..don't know," Mira lied while sitting back up. "What do you mean you don't know," Julia said. "I dunno know they were just there, yesterday," Mira said covering up her tracks. "You mean, someone just gave them to you? That's soo sweet," Ling said smelling the fragrant flowers. (Kazuya being sweet? Tch yeah right! Friggin bitter and not to mention EVIL!) "Shit, I wouldn't get too excited maybe it's just psycho who's watching my every step then BAM!" Mira sat slamming her fist on the stand which startled Julia and Ling, "At the right time he grabs me slits my throat from ear to ear, decapitates my body sells my organs to crooked doctors, then after he's done collecting his money he puts what's left of my body in plastic bags and dumps it off some road," Mira finished with a satisfied grin (Now that sounds like Kazuya).

"You just love to let your imagination run wild with you don't you," Julia said giving Mira a concerned look. "Nope, girl it's not my imagination it's reality," Mira said laughing a little. "You have a gross view of it, I'll tell you that," Ling said a bit disgusted. "Aw, come on girl I was just playing," Mira grinned. "Hey? What time is it," Julia asked. Mira looked at her watch, "Uh, 12:00." Julia "My fight is going to start in 30 minutes I got to get ready, so I'll see you later," Julia said heading out the door. "Hey wait up," Ling said joining her. "Hey Julia," Mira said. Julia turned around "What?" Mira smiled "Good luck." Julia smiled back "Thanks." The two left the room. Mira just sat back down on her bed (Man, then I got to meet up with Kazuya. I get bad vibes when I'm with him. Jin resembles him so much, but he's a different person. I wonder what he's doing right now? He's probably training or something like all the other fighters. I should get to doing some training but not right now I already trained in some of my vacation. I'm so tired I fucked up my sleeping pattern. Oh well like if haven't done that one too many times.) Mira sighed and laid down and put her arms in the back of her head.

(I'm connected to this. I feel it. But, what is it I can't put my finger on it. Come on, It..has to do with..with come on Mira remember..) "Shit!" Mira said out loud frustrated. She grunted in disappointment (I'm going to sneak in some sleep.) Mira stretch she heard her bones pop and stretching her arms moving around her finger then exhaled. Relaxed all of her muscles and went to sleep. The phone rang (Why would I want an alarm when I have Dee and Lupe to wake my from my sleep) She picked the phone up, "Yeah?"

"Come on over come on over baby," She heard Christina Augilara song it was obviously coming from a speaker, "Not funny Lupe." Mira said unimpressed. "Well, you got the point," Lupe hung up. (Even during her break up she's still shitting bricks) Mira said getting up and taking the laptop with her. She entered the room "Still fighting over the doughnut I'm guessing," Lupe gave a venomous look at Deandre "Naw, we settled are differences." Lupe flipped him off "So hacked into the Zaibatsu network yet?" Mira shook her head "No, I'm not going to do that later and I just thought it through I don't really need this." She handed Deandre the laptop, "Okay, then here new cell," he said taking the laptop and giving her the cell phone, "And by the way what happened to the other one?" Mira hesitated, "Well, let's just put it this way a friend took it." Deandre just simply said, "Oh I get it, jeez boo you got to be more careful."

"I know I'm sorry," Mira said quickly so what were you going to tell me?"

"You know the dude who was s'posed to be holding up that party," Lupe said. "Yeah," Mira said in acknowledgement. "They 86 him last night," Deandre said, "They shot six bullets on his ass." Mira eyes widened, "Damn six times? That couldn't have been an assassin."

"Actually it was, you know Bobby red hair funky chick she was on assignment in the G corporation building when all that shit happened," Deandre was getting something from his luggage. "Bobby's still working in the agency," Lupe asked in surprise. "Yeah," Deandre said. "So what do we do know?" Mira said. "Well, for me and Lupe we don't know we were going to wire you anyway if you were going but now I don't know, but I know for you what to do," Deandre said out a comb and started to comb his medium afro. "What?" Mira was curious. "Training," He said sticking the brush in his hair, "I don't want to see your ass getting kicked." Mira frowned, "Why does everyone expect me to get my ass kicked?"

"It's not expecting it's just the saying "practice makes perfect" girl, recognize," He voice sounded like lazy thunder. "Yeah, whatever," Lupe said in a prepish voice then her phone rang "Hello," she answered. "Yeah, what? How did that happened! Argh! Now! But! Fine I'll be there as soon as possible," Lupe hung up the phone, "Shit."

"What's wrong," Deandre asked while Lupe was gathering her stuff. "Got to get back to L.A. there's some bugs in the new system they installed yesterday and they need me and some other people to fix it, the boss is being a real shit," Lupe said stuffing the rest of her belongings in the luggage. "Mira, I'll keep in touch kay," Lupe gave Mira a hug and a sisterly kiss on the cheek. "Ey, what about me," Deandre said. "You don't even talk to me." Deandre "At least I have someone to talk to!" Lupe blew a razz on him and left. "Biatch," Deandre said getting back to his work. "Dee you got a minute on you," Mira said sitting on the bed. "Yeah, what's up girl," Deandre sat on a chair. "Remember how we could talk without passing notes, or anything," Mira said. "Yeah," Deandre said curious what she was going to say. "Well turns out it wasn't a fluke I can still do that and look," Deandre heard was she was saying without even opening her mouth.

Mira lifted her self off the bed. Deandre eyes widened and jumped off the chair "Calm down boy! You be jumpin' like if you seein a holy ghost," Mira laughed out. "How..how you do that! That's some David Copperfield shit right there," Deandre said still in awe. "I think I inherited it from my mom I guess," Mira said still in midair, "Lately I've been able to do this at will."

"Is that's how you survived, well you know what I'm talking about," Deandre was less tense. "Why do you ask?" Mira asked. "Because, I was thinking about it and now it makes sense but how'd you survive," Deandre shook her head softly "Remember how I said after he slit my wrist he stumble out the window," Mira said, "Actually, I threw him out the window."

"But how! That ass weighed 173 your ass was scrawny at that time!" Deandre said. "Well, how do you think I threw him out the window genius!" Mira was annoyed at Deandre's bluntness. "Sorry, it's just..I can believe this shit man! I mean! Look at you! You can fly if you wanted to! You can read people minds! What else can you do?" Deandre was acting like a child at a magician show. "I know where other people are and that's about it," Mira said. "Whoo, girl I like to say that you have the world pretty much at your feet!" Deandre said sitting on a chair and slouching. "Hey, so who know the number to my brand new cell phone?" Mira said flipping it on. "Just me, Lupe, and Byron," Deandre said. "Dude, why did you tell Byron the number," Mira said irritated. "Well, he's your foster dad ain't he?" Deandre defended what he did. "Well yeah, but," Her phone ran, "Thanks a lot that him," She answered it. "Mira, What I told you two days ago forget about it okay I was drunk at the time, I'm sorry I had to bother you," Byron said. (This doesn't sound like him at all) "You know you always were a horrible liar you know that," Mira said. "Nope I'm serious I went to a friend's retirement party and I got drunk," He kept going. "You're full of shit you know that, and I know something's wrong and when I get back I'll find out, like I always do," Mira pushed the end button and turned off her ringer, "Dee you know my mom's name right?" Deandre's eyes shifted a little, "Yeah?"

In the most innocent tone Mira could muster "Can you try to find her on the database? Please." Deandre lifted his eyebrows, "Okay. . ."

"Thank you so much," she gave him hug and kissed his cheek lowered her self down and started to leave, "Bye."

"Bye," Deandre said and she left.
