No. I’m here to help you.
While the simple, physical appearance of this woman may not have started any alarm bells ringing, her attempts to get around the desk officer and her voice certainly did. This was, indeed, the woman who had called out of the blue. The reason he’d cut himself off from easy contact with the other Awakened. Safe Awakened, at least. It might have been a little optimistic, maybe naïve, to think that simply becoming un-contactable would be enough to make this little problem go away. After all, she had addressed him by his title. She’d known who he was and where he worked. If this Ms Ghali knew where he worked, it was quite possible that she knew where he lived. And who the hell knew what else she knew about him.
Even without all of that, Alexander isn’t a man who likes being played. And this woman? Seemed to be enjoying whatever game she was trying to get him to run through right now.
Fuck.
Alexander tries to keep a static face, tries to keep back that he knows that this Awakened woman is apparently trying to stalk him. But he’s tired. The night of the noise complaint, the hours of statements and reports and everything else that followed. His battering against the walls of his limitations in the showers. Something snaps, just for a second. His voice drops to something only the two of them are likely to hear. “Look, unless you happen to be a murderer who can vanish into thin air who wants to turn yourself in, I don’t want you, or your shit, anywhere near me.”
He clears his throat, taking a moment to look at the ceiling, before continuing at a more normal volume and with the ghost of a dead smile that doesn't come close to touching his eyes. “I’m sorry, Madam, this isn’t a dating agency. Did you wish to report a crime this morning? Or did you have information relating to one?”
