Chapter fifteen
Zack's POV.
I quickly back, and go back to her message. There's two of them.
Subject; Where the heck are you?
From; Susan Miles
To; Zack Miles
Four days ago.
Hey, what's up with you? Aren't you coming back anymore, or have you been kidnapped? Ah, that would be crazy. Anyway, I miss you, and am still expecting you. The sun is going low, so let me know WHEN you are coming. ;)
**
Just having read it half way, I'm already cracking up. She'd think that I was kidnapped? For real? That is so gross. Well, maybe I was if you think of it in another way.
I shake my head, and go to her next message for me.
Subject; Like...what the F?!
From; Susan Miles
To; Zack Miles
Yesterday
Hey (by the way, you deserve no greeting, but a knock on the head), what is happening? I keep on calling your number, but it wouldn't go. Please, tell me you're safe. And then, day before yesterday, I received a call from a company, saying that you gave them my number, wanted to send me some mail and that they needed to confirm, blah blah blah. Anyway, just return my calls, because we have a lot to talk about. And I hope that you return safely.
**
Once done with reading the message, I reply her with.
Subject; Apologizing to my foul-mouthed cuz.

Morning, baby. I'm so sorry, but something happened. And yeah, about the mail, I had this mail company help me, but...okay, the thing is that my car knocked down some minutes after the call with you, and then, I met this guy. He brought me to a cabin where he lives in with his uncle. He's helped me so far, made me familiar with this place. I'm not any trouble, Susan, neither am I in a bad shape. Don't worry, I'll get my car fixed soon, and come over, or wait, you can come and pick me up, or what do you think?
**
I tap on send, and wait for her reply...which I'm not expecting to come in so soon. Oh, God, it's like she's already known I'll send her message in the first place.
Subject; You deserve a disowning contract from me.
From; Susan Miles
To; Zack Miles
10:14 AM
Let bygones be bygones. What about the guy? Is he hot? Is he into boys?
**
I shake my head when her reply pops in, and I read it. Gosh, she can be annoying, and immature. She's a teenager in the mind, and an adult on the body. I want to reply her back when her new message reveals.
Subject; So sorry, cuz.
From; Susan Miles
To; Zack Miles

I can't make it over there( wherever you are). I'm not even in Los right now, but will arrive back tomorrow around afternoon or so. I just got this new advertising contract, and it won't take that long to wrap it all up. I can come and get you at that time. :-)
**
My hands goes back to work, ready to type back.
Subject; One; don't be such a pervert. Two; Understood.
From; Zack Miles
To; Susan Miles
10:23 AM
The first chat will be adjourn to another time. About the new contract, I am so happy for you. Be a good girl, and don't worry about me, the hot guy is keeping me under his umbrella.
**
Finishing typing, I burst out laughing, and quickly use my hands to cover my mouth. I can't believe that I just teased her with that, though, it will help appetize her questions about James. I hadn't even given her his name. She'll know later. I wish I can see her face right now.
Next four minutes, she has replied.
Subject; I'll disown you at last!
From; Susan Miles
To; Zack Miles
10:27 AM
I should get you arrested for giving me a cliffhanger gist. As much as I'll like to continue this chat, I have to go. You should give me a call tonight. You must!
**
I want to reply her, but decided against it. If I should, she will reply me back and that will only keep her from doing what she needs to do in time, so I quit the mail page, and go back to the writing page.
If she can come and get me tomorrow, that'll mean I'd still have time to explore bit of Los before concentrating on work even though I wish it can be today. That's just how the Black Script is. They make their staff work most of the time, only less busy during breaks or the weekends. I'll soon become a busy guy.
