Black Widow - Episode 16

 

Fabian got home and brought out his new laptop.  He typed in some things and he was redirected to a site. The cursor kept blinking on the blank page so he stood up, moved his eat slightly back and walked to his fridge. Opened it, brought out a can beer. While he opened it, his phone rang, it was Laura.  He let it ring for a while and then switched off his phone.  After this, he walked to the switch on the wall and put off the light. The blue light from the laptop illuminated the room . Then he pulled out the switch from the wall , there were some buttons at the back, he punched it and then put it back. Now, anyone who watched him from the surveillance camera would think he was at lying in his bed. He walked to the remote control on the table and pressed some buttons. ‘Its hard to say goodbye” by Celine Dion began to play in the background.

There's something in your eyes that's far too revealing
Why must it be like this a love without feelin'
Something is wrong with you I know
I see it in your eyes
Believe me when i say
It's gonna be okay.......

Okay, now, anyone tracking him would think he was sleeping and if there is an audio tracked somewhere, the noise would only create a static disruption...but the message would be clear.

After this, he sat down and began to type in a morse code.-

13981512, 315135 914(Michael come in)

He punched the ‘send’ button and then waited for a while , the cursor was still blinking. There was no reponse...until the cursor started moving while dropping written digits

. Quickly, he grabbed his pen and paper, wrote the alphabets in a row and the equivalent digits at the side to decode the message.

 “1985  19165” –(She safe,)

He took in a deep breath and typed what this means in digits-

“don’t tell me where you are. Give her the morphine.”

The cursor started moving again-

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I don’t want her to remember anything about me or her family. You both will start a family together. Get the photoshop done on time and you better make your story perfect about your one year relationship”

“Okay dude. I have a doctor for that ”

“I want you to never contact me except there is a problem. Do you understand?”

“Yes F.”

“Did you get all your new documents and passports ?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

“Thanks man. Stay Alive.”

After this, he slammed the laptop shut gulped down the remaining drink.  He had asked him to wipe out her memory so she could have a fresh start, together with him. He was supposed to tell him that her family members are dead and they have been in a relationship together for a while. That the plane crashed and she had survived except for her memory loss. He had no idea how that would work but he just hoped that Michael would do that because, how else was he going to make her trust him?

He sighed and stood up. He thought of calling laura but he kicked against the idea, he was supposed to be in bed. If anything happens in the future, and she says he picked her call while camera showed that he was sleeping, then it would mean that something was off.

. This was perfect like this. Besides, he needed this set up for another thing. Grabbing his car keys he left the house.

He checked his time, he had been driving for up to an hour and it was just some minutes to midnight. He stopped the car with his torch, stepped out and locked the doors.

The woodland seems somehow quiet as he walked except for the weak trees and dead leaves that creaked at  every pressure of his footsteps. His eyes were adjusting to the encroaching gloom as everywhere was a hue darker than they normally were, not even the moon penetrated the leaves. The air was becoming cold and everywhere behind him was a total darkness.  He held the coat around his neck tightly as well as the two guns in his back pocket and his front pocket.  Far in the distance he could see the blue light, in few seconds more, he would be there.

He spotted the cottage crunched low in the woods as if it was trying to hide from peering eyes however, the misshapen slate roof was too big to be missed.  Through the darkness, he could see the rough unevenly sharpened grey stones that made up the walls. As he got closer, the occasional flash of color penetrated his eyes, somewhere blue, red and even green. If he was a threat, they would have given off warning alarms.

When he finally got to the front door, he brushed his hands against it and immediately the door opened. He stepped in and found her on the seat, watching the TV. Smiling, he hung his coat by the chair and kissed her from behind on the cheek.

“Hi , Nana, missed me?”
