Broken Deal

At about 8:am on Thursday after doing my workouts and practising my kickboxing, I stepped out of my apartment dressed in Black Air Max sneakers, a black trouser and a blue long-sleeve shirt, the weather was rather cold this morning.

Locking my door, rather than go left which was the route to exit the building, I moved right and knocked on the door of the next apartment.

A minute went by with me knocking and calling Lucy's name and just like the previous days, I got no reply and could only sigh and turn around and head out.

Sunday was the last time I had seen Lucy since after I asked her to deliver an envelope to Martha, she had not returned to give me a report like I expected her to.

This lack of presence didn't just apply to Lucy, it also applied to Martha. The envelope which contained the money I had sent Lucy to deliver was the same one Both I and Marth had seen and laughed at last week when we met at the supermarket.
