After the tires had been replaced, she paid they guy and said," well I've got to be going," Starke said, "I think we need to talk more about the situation," she said, "we'll talk more on line, but be careful because she is on and he is also on much of the time." He said, "ok great, I'll be in touch be careful, stay safe" and they each left in opposite directions, as he drove out of the lot he realized he missed her already . Candee felt the same way unbeknownst to him.
She went home to her cute little apartment again now that she got it straightened up after being ransacked, but no real damage was done by this wacko or items missing. Her place always felt so warm and welcoming but tonight it felt cold and lonely, very lonely.
Candee was pretty much alone in the world except for a few friends at the paper where she worked, taking adds at the front desk, and directing phone calls to other desks. She tried to lead a quiet life and would have succeeded had it not been for this person making her life a living nightmare. Tonight, I don't feel like booting up my computer for company, she thought, so she drank another beer and went to bed. Starke opened the door to his cabin and saw the light blinking on his answering machine, he hit the button on the way to the refrigerator for a beer, and heard his boss's voice, Starke where the hell are you? We've got a good lead on the net scam we were working on, call me; click.
Aw, shit thought Starke, yeah buddy tomorrow, I'll get back to you tomorrow and he flung himself down on the couch to relax and think, as her lovely face flitted across his mind, this woman who bolted into his life from cyberspace on the Internet of all places. What do I know about her? I know her code name is Dee Dee and her first name is really Candida, but what is her last name? I can't even call her, but I can reach her.
She does have a problem he thought but not as serious as she suspects, I hope, didn't she say these two odd balls also go into chat rooms but are not aware of each other or at least he's not aware of her interest in him. Guess it's up to me to change all of that, because Candee needs me and I can't let go of my destiny, one look in those warm honey brown eyes and I knew that, Gees, if my best buddy and boss could hear what I'm thinking I'd never hear the end of it.
