I met this really cute guy on a dating website named David Fitch. He was in the Army but he wasn’t doing well but he looked amazing! He also woke me every morning by saying something sweet. I used to need coffee to wake me up with a smile, now I read his text in the morning and I’m smiling while making coffee. He is so sweet, and he won’t ask me out even though we’ve been talking for months. I’ve been trying to make it obvious for a while now that I’ve been trying to date him. He just won’t take a fucking hint! We still talk in the app, I can’t even get him to give me his number, again, he won’t take a hint!

"Hey, Babe."

"How’s it going, Laurie?"

"I’m just going through all the information I have on the guy. Seeing if I’m missing anything obvious."

"I think you need new eyes on the information you have on the case. You need to focus on another guy Laurie, he’s gone, you missed your chance of getting him."

"You have eyes that haven’t seen the case. But even when I am finished who am I supposed to focus on? You? You want me to focus on you? I can focus on you, especially when you walk away. If you take your shirt off I will be so focused on you I’ll walk into a wall or door again, like the first time you did that."

"I’m not that interesting or cute, I don’t see the need for you to focus on me.  But I’ll take a look at the case if I ever get to meet you in person."

"I’ve seen your pictures, I completely disagree. I even saved your pictures, like all of them" I reread what I wrote "ignore that last part. So what are you doing today?"

"I just got kicked out today so I’m working on getting in contact with other people so that I may have a house or apartment to live in. Or at least a car."

"556 N. 40th Ave, Phoneix, AZ move in with me. Sleep in my bed. Or there are many apartments around here we can get I don’t see why you have to be homeless, you are a veteran that’s just unamerican, I won’t have it!"

"You don’t need to keep sending me your address, I have it. You should have told me before I left the Army nine days ago, I would have just gone straight to you instead of trying to deal with my dad for just over a week."

I get mad and stomp around at how stupid he is being, I even gave him my address. "Well you didn’t, I’ll even pay for you to get here."

"No Laurie, I’m not taking your money."

"Please?"

"Laurie, I’ll be fine. I am getting keys to a car and I have something to do in Wisconsin to get a place."

"Will you be safe?"

"It’s me, Laurie, do I do safe?"

"I’ll take that as a no."

"I gotta go. I found that bar you used to talk about. I’m going to see if the women there make good strippers."

"You have fun but not too much bc I’ll kill you lol you’re mine :) Lol. Oh my god, you and my mom would have gotten along too well. Wait, I thought you weren’t old enough to drink."

"I’m not. Who says you have to drink to enjoy a bar? I was just joking about the strippers. I would love to see you naked though."

"You’re such a cute idiot. Have fun but not too much." I quickly wonder if he was kidding about the strippers and decide to send him a sexy picture. "This is what you would have if you came here!"

I go about my day searching through things finding it amazing how even in an airport he can disappear he is amazing. He is a chameleon no matter where he goes, and that’s how he ran his business which there have been a few cracks in the case. It’s amazing how a little change can alter your life just completely change directions.

Since last year the organization has gotten sloppy. Someone has gotten arrested for drugs, someone for racing and someone got killed trying to kidnap a drug dealer. Things are falling apart. And I’m starting to see how things work. There’s one boss up top, I’ve heard that Alpha is a female so the name most certainly is not Ignacio. Bravo that I didn’t have a name for before was a woman as well she was only discovered because she was killed doing her job, and she was pregnant by an unknown man to us sometime in late December or early January she became pregnant.

Under her, there are a few bosses that control different aspects and I don’t understand the full aspect but now I know there’s multiple genders, aspects, jobs, positions I’m still kind of confused because only 6 people have been identified. I found out that Bravo killed several people in the last few years, I linked her to three different murders. But something tells me she just got this job, she was promoted from within.

I don’t believe that Ignacio was fake entirely, that he just randomly up and left. He was doing a wonderful job, now there’s someone new at the top and I have no idea who the new people in charge are! And I’m completely frustrated, I still want Ignacio, or Jason whoever the fuck that the guy was that killed my mom. He was an asshole with no respect! A disgrace to all men everywhere! I’m glad I found David instead. Oh cool, he’s messaging me at like 11 pm.

"Hey, Laurie."

"Seriously David, it’s so late for you, what are you still doing up? You are usually asleep hours ago."

"I have to do a few things in Wisconsin so I can get a place to live. And I have to do it before I have a job so I’m doing it now."

"Are you mobile?"

"Yes. My friend allowed me to have one of her old cars a gold Mercedes, they got it for me as a gift for how much I helped her out in the past."

"That’s so cool, did she behave?"

"As much as you do."

"I’m gonna kill her! What’s her name?"

"Why?"

"Nothing, nothing. So what do you have to do?"

"Nothing legal, it’s all good though no one will find out."

"David think of me as a part cop part girlfriend I’m doing the tests to become a police officer I just have my psyche eval and I’ll be 25% through my training, and with the research, I’ve done on the organization if I did the bar exam I could be a lawyer."

"I plead the 3rd! And you’re too young to be a cop."

"You plea that no soldiers will be housed with you? I wanna waive that right, do you still have my address for when you are done with what you have to do? And I think you mean the 5th."

"I’m not a slave though. I’m not in need of that at the moment."

"How bad was your high school education?"

"I believe you mispronounced ’nap time’ in your head when you spelled that word with an E. Weirdo."

"That explains that, what classes did you sleep in?"

"English, history, government, math, science, I enjoyed drama, finances, and gym."

"That’s all the important classes though. So what are you doing?"

"I’m driving from Chicago to Minnesota to get shit done."

"I’ll pretend you said you were busy, you shouldn’t text and drive hit me up tomorrow when you’re not busy."

"This isn’t texting, it’s typing."

"You are my loveable idiot. Good night David."

"Night Laurie."
