Shopping Spree

The past events had taught me a very good lesson that was to always be on the lookout.  I had to put in place a new board and to do that I had to check each and every individual's background. I did not need to be betrayed once again. It had been one tiresome week for me to have to set everything in place and set the company running. Felicia helped me come up with a new system to help me check each and everything going on in the company. Each time there was malpractice, it would give me an alert. I also needed to come up with ways on how to make my pack grow stronger and also safe. I needed to get away from home to freshen my mind and I knew what I needed that moment. 

"Jimmy, I am going out with the girls and I don't need you pestering me around," I had to say. But on second thought I decided that Jimmy goes along. I needed to play the role of matchmaker. I couldn't wait to see my best friend smiling at me.

"Don't show me that evil smile boss. I know what you are planning and I have already instructed Sesame to be on the look out for you," had to say Jimmy.

I couldn't believe it that he saw right through my plans, but he had it coming. I was going to make sure that he ends up carrying the shopping bags.

I met up with Lindiwe at our favorite Mall the Trends which was full of Lingerie. 

"Let's go in buddy, I want to have all the latest collection," had to say Lindiwe.

"A third person is coming," I informed.

I knew that inviting the third person to the group would take shopping forever hence I needed that time to think. The little distractions from the two would make my mind think faster. That was what I was hoping for.

"Who is that third person?" had to ask Lindiwe.

We both turned to see the voice that just spoke.

"That third person is supposed to be me," had to say Felicia.

"Oh my! You are Felicia, the computer geek that Tiana here speaks about. Wow! But you are a teenager! "exclaimed Lindiwe.

I have never told Lindiwe who Felicia really was. She was a Teenager yes, but also a genius. How we met is a story for another day. Right now I needed the two girls to make as much distraction as possible to enable my mind to think. Well I thought this shopping trip was going to be me running away from responsibility, but I just had to turn it into an opportunity.

"Let us go girls, we don't have time to waste," I told the two as they went own arguing on why Felicia  was a teenager and not a fully grown-up person and why they all had to be friends with a bossy warewolf. 

I seriously didn't know I was bossy but I didn't care. What mattered most is that all of them were my friends and I knew deep down my heart that they were good people. I let them do the shopping while I sat on the chair checking them all out. An idea came up right then and I excused myself to go to the toilet. I took the tracker placed in my watch and broke it and threw the others in the toilet. It wasn't long to see the toilet door busting open to reveal Jimmy.

"Ma'am where are you, are you okay?" had to ask Jimmy.

"Relax Jimmy, I am completely fine. I thought you said you won't be coming shopping?" I had to say.

"You know I have a job and that job is to protect you. I had to come while knowing you were pulling a stunt and that's so stupid of me. I fell in your trap," complained Jimmy.

"Don't worry buddy, you are the best in the whole world."

I led Jimmy to where the girls were and made him sit on the chair I sat. He had to take my role in checking Lindiwe out because that is where his eyes were. From nowhere I got a sense of pride for making the two love birds actually start a conversation and laugh together. We went one shop after another making sure to Burden Jimmy with our bags for all the easy staff.  As for Felicia's electronics, she had to request for a delivery.

Gran Gran called and she sounded so worried.

"Hey, Gran, you need to calm down and tell me exactly what happened from the beginning," I had to say.

"Jones and Lily went to play by the beach today and met a lady who was hurt. Lily had to stay behind with the lady and while jones came to call for help the lady and Lily disappeared. The other members of the clan are all looking out for her right now,"

"Alright Grandma, how long has it been since she disappeared?" I had to ask.

"It has been two hours."

"Alright Gran Gran, I will be home soon,"  I had to say.

I failed my people as their Luna once more. We all got in the car and drove back to the Mansion. 

"I have been checking the cameras in the woods around the beach but I haven't seen anything so far," had to say Felicia

"Keep on checking. That Beach is a private area and soon we will find whoever kidnapped Lily," I had to say.
