Reyes Aguilar.
Enver rubbed at his jaw as he paced the hardwood floor of his home. The guy was hard as hell to track down and after the third night of surveying the city, Enver was growing frustrated. The guy was creeping around stealing blood off Lelantos while she was sleeping. The guy pissed him off more than the guy that watched porno's on Lel's computer all damn night and day.
It was during his conversation with Lel tonight that Enver realized he didn't give Hannah a copy of the picture of the guy so she could help scout. It was also during this conversation that he came up with a plan of action. He just hoped Hannah agreed to it, or he'd have to think of a new way to track this guy down. After Enver helped Lel clean up the kitchen for the dinner she had tried to make him, he sent Hannah a text on her phone and asked him to meet her where he was now.
"Heya Enver." Hannah smiled as she climbed the stairs to his second floor and claimed her usual spot on his couch whenever she was here. Enver stopped pacing and looked at the wet bar to the right of him before he cleared his throat. "Hannah." Enver poured himself a whiskey malt as he rubbed at his jaw with the other hand. Hannah produced a small notebook, a pen, some sticky notes and then her pink cell phone. To say the woman wasn't organized or a bit of a perfectionist was an understatement. He chuckled a little and shook his head before he sat across from her and put his feet up on the table between them. "I'm wondering if you can help me with a problem." Hannah sat up taller when she heard him asking for her help. She wasn't sure what to make of it. He didn't even ask her for help when he hadn't moved from the couch for almost a week in his man cave. She had to give him some of her blood to make sure the guy didn't keel over and die. She wasn't sure what would happen if he didn't have blood in him, but Hannah didn't want to think about it because she didn't know what would happen to her.
He watched her, taking a sip of the dark colored malt before he spoke again. "There's this guy. He's been creeping on Lelantos. The blond you met a couple weeks ago?" He asked, not looking for a reply, but re-jogging her memory. "Oh, right." Hannah nodded her head and opened her notebook and grabbed the pen. She wrote Lelantos's name on the top of the page, crossed her legs under her and stared at Enver. "I have a picture of him." Enver pulled out his Droid and passed it over to the blond haired woman. "His name is Reyes Aguilar. And he's been putting his paws all over Lel." Enver cleared his throat after he nodded. He waited for Hannah to finish taking her notes before he continued.
"I don't know where he hangs out at, but I can't get into every place. You can though. I was hoping you could try and track him down and befriend him. Gain his trust. That means I can't have you hanging around here a lot. He might know who I am and it'll trace you back to me eventually." Enver polished off his drink, then put the heavy crystal glass down on the table. "I'll put you up at the hotel in the city for a while. You'll be looked after still. Think you can do it Hans?" He looked at her then, sitting forward himself.
Hannah bit on the end of her pen as she thought about it. "Your idea sounds lovely in theory, but he's one guy of thousands, Enver." Hannah began to use her logical sense of reasoning as she played with the idea. "I can't promise to do anything, but I can try to do it and hope for the best results. Like anything. Promises are not an absolute Enver. They are good intentions which have improbable results. A lot." He almost frowned then, but cleared his throat instead. "You're right. But I can't do anything and you're the only variable that could absolutely solve this problem Hannah." Enver flashed her a grin, hoping he'd win her with her own logic thrown back at her. "Tell you what I'll do. I'll keep an eye out on the campus and library and any place you think he might be at when you text me. If I find him some night, then I'll try and befriend him. But it's not like I have a lot of people knocking on my door trying to be my friend." She smiled a little, then gave him his phone back.
"That's good enough for me, Hans. I booked you a room at the hotel near the college in preparation for you agreeing to do this." He stood, grabbed the printed reservation from the computer and fished out a couple hundred dollars from his wallet. "For food and whatever else you need." He stuffed the bills in her fingers after she stood and closed her small notebook. "Hannah?" Enver cleared his throat and looked her in the eyes as he stood there thinking of what to say. "I'll be careful Enver. The guy doesn't even know I exist yet or that I'm looking for him. It's highly improbable that he will either." She gathered the rest of her things, then waved him a quick goodbye with her fingertips. Enver went back to his computer and continued to search for everything he could on this Reyes Aguilar.
