Chapter 6: Possible Evil Schemes

Anna watched from the window as Zane disappeared down the street as fast as he could. She breathed a sign of relief.

"Well that could have gone better. I am glad he left though. He could have seriously messed up my purpose here. It's so tiring pretending to be crazy. I hate having visitors too, not when I'm working, and especially unexpected ones."

Looking around the kitchen, she found a business card that Zane had left. She reached for her phone and quick dialed her friend Millie.
"Millie, its me...
The dumb lawyer is finally gone...
I don't know, he just showed up while I was trying to snoop around...
I don't think he suspects a thing....
I just needed to talk to someone intelligent, but you'll do I guess...
I kind of figured they'd be on their way home by now...
I better finish up here quick then...
Send a cleaning crew here, I broke a window...
Crazy cat lady means I'm crazy, not the cats....
What the heck kind of cats live here anyways?...
Millie, I have to go, Amber's calling me..."

Anna switched over to Amber's call and switched it to speakerphone so she could sweep up the glass in the kitchen. "Hello this is Anna"

Amber said excitedly. "They were just over and they gave me something. I did a gypsy reading on it and you'll never guess what I found."

Anna then said. "Ok I'll be right over. I have a couple more loose ends to tie up here. Their lawyer or whatever was here looking for them. He tried to use all kinds of lame antics to trick me. I have a plan to eliminate him that will also take care of another problem I'm having."

"Be careful when you get over here. My landlord is trying to collect rent money again." Amber advised "You may need some sort of distraction to get in the apartment uninjured."

Anna thought for a second. "We could ask the Russians to drop another space station maybe."

"Actually I don't think they had more then just the one" Amber answered.

"Really, ok well I'll think of something." Anna tried to think of other distractions she could use.

"Actually it might not be as big an issue. I haven't heard him out there since around the time that Ethan and Nikki left. Perhaps he went in pursuit of them." Amber held a life-sized replica of her head up to the window and waited for the sound of gunfire. "No, I don't think he's out there anymore."

"Ok Amber, I'll be right over. Just have to take care of some business on the way."

Anna hung up the phone and then located the cat carrier in the other room. She quickly as she could rounded up all three cats, the mean old gray one, the black one, and the little gray kitten placing each into the carrier. She then stepped outside with cat carrier in hand. On the way past the mailman, she did a final bow of respect to a fallen master ninja before running down to the end of the driveway.

"I find it surprising how many taxi's run down this dead end street" she thought to herself as she flagged down a taxi. The taxi screeched to a halt inches from her. She pushed the carrier into the backseat before walking around to the driver's door. "I'm going to need to comandeer this vehicle" she said as she flashed her credentials.

The taxi driver asked "Why? And did you just flash me a coupon booklet."

"Too many questions, not enough getting out of the car" Anna said as she pulled the door open and ripped the driver out of the taxi. She climbed into the driver seat and proceeded to speed away leaving the driver dazed on the ground. "Can you believe the nerve of some people?" she muttered to herself as she drove towards the city.
