THE DOCK

She would sink in her thoughts as she would look always lately,  totally distracted by the only plan fixed in  her mind , the nightmare at the  26 year red head .  A similar woman in her age and beauty  is enjoying her life , looking for fun and maybe some platonic stories to get herself involved in, far away enough from a burden like that.  Ashlee , on the contrary had no choice .. yet she  was stubborn enough to peruse her dream since the disappearance of her father. She had to take it all over her shoulder and she had to do it discreetly, adding to her stresses another big one. She wishes she can find someone who can support her,  at least to  think with her about her plans . Someone she can trust and find loyal enough.  She was the nearest to her father in this illicit business.  Naturally it was the logical reason why she was selected by the family to stay in Hathian and see how things went over there.  The Warehouses at the port, if not taken care of properly, It would be subject to loss or theft . she remembers well the ways her father taught her how to handle things.  He taught her how to manage the mean people and showed her keys for everyone to use.. but he never told her that she would be left alone doing that and he would disappear without a clue.  Her doubts about the level of trust in people  is very high bearing in mind what she had seen and heard during  the last 8 months she spent working undercover as receptionist in the hospital . No one know what is hidden under this flesh neither the amount of agony she bears.  It would reflect on her social life trying to be nice as she can but she sometimes fails. She starts to inspect every one face and think of it  as a candidate and before she reply a greeting or a node .. she would reply only one question that would drive her crazy all the time  ‘ Would that person fit or not ‘ . She knew the criteria of selection was very critical. Working within smuggling and criminal surroundings was not a pleasure needless to mention the urge needed to have a high sense of security and sense of protection present all the time.  Yes it was her duty to make it work somehow without giving her fragile nature as a woman ,  a beautiful sexy woman,  a chance to miscalculate things.. Else it would mean her end.   Ashlee felt amazing relaxing while sitting on the table stretching her legs above the table surface and scrolling her cell phone messages .. She just received a phone call from trustworthy resources confirming that they will send soon some one to investigate why her father disappeared .  LL Warehouses sponsors world wide where not the easy catch .. they were group of agencies who knew well what they do .. The operation lady there confirmed that within one week she  will find her the solution . She allowed a sign of relieve out of her lungs before she started to scroll and check her mails again from there.
