Missing Eternity

Part: XLV: Don't Ask

They walked right passed us
the cop watched her enraptured
completely obvious to the world around him
Kylie whispered something as she passed
"Funny hearing Angel I imagined you much louder."
she smirked and walked away.

Dustin began to walk purpose full towards the arrives
I had to jog to keep up,
stupid boys and their grasshopper legs
I'm tall enough but no giant.
"Please don't ask,"
he says without turning.
Questions swarmed my brain like angry wasps
but I kept quiet
after all I'd promised to keep out of his business if he kept out of mine
for now

but as we go down to the archives questions pour through me.
How does he know that girl?
It was obvious who she was now.
Some how I kept quiet
I wanted to let loose a string of profanities at him
and demand to know what the heck was going on.

We spent most of the morning doing chores for Detective Wilt
retrieving records delivering notes
I would have felt rather cheated by the detective except
that seemed to be all he was doing to.
that and I was so distracted I almost forgot to take notes
reading papers making phone calls typing things
