#112 I Spy

She made a quick left turn and entered a narrow lane. The scooter engine roared as she sped through the lane knowing it wasn’t broad enough for the car. Her heartbeat slowed down.

As she blended into the traffic at the other end of the lane she checked her rearview mirror.

Damn! They must have known about the shortcut.

She gave her keys to the valet and rushed into the building housing the detective agency.

Henry was waiting for her at the reception.

“Hire them but they need to be a little less conspicuous.”  She said walking into her cabin.

She had been given 10 days. 10 days to get all her affairs in order and say her goodbyes. She didn’t want to leave anything unfinished, becoming a ghost scared her more than dying.

On the 10^th day she called her sister as her time drew nearer. The stars twinkled till the morning sun brightened the horizon.

“I told you it wasn’t so!” Her sister said as she opened her inbox and deleted the email.

A car honked as it drove up to her door.

‘Perfect timing’ she thought as she took the cherry pie from the oven.
