“So you didn’t think about going to the police? Having them call us? It’s not hard to type ‘Hunter Corps’ into Google and call my office either. Sounds to me like you’re giving me a whole bunch of excuses.” He didn’t mean for it to come out sounding so harsh, but he was angry and couldn’t seem to hold himself back. Taking a breath he pulled his phone from his pocket. “Call her. Now.”

“Of course I did,” Odette sighed nervously, somehow knowing these sorts of questions were going to come her way. “But I had to keep under the radar to avoid getting kidnapped again... I was kidnapped by the man that killed my father, Derek. I... I was scared, I didn’t know what to do. Police said I needed I.D. because that was protocol but I have nothing. I can’t access any bank accounts, I can’t do anything. That asshole took it all,” she explained, shakily reaching out her hand to take the phone from him. “Okay, I’ll do it,” Odette almost whispered, going to his contacts and choosing his mother’s number, waiting nervously as it rung.

“You would hope so, if not- then it really is hopeless. And people wonder why we love Beyonce singing about girls ruling the world so much- this is the reason.” She gestured towards the men around them and probably one of them being the one who had catcalled the woman in front of her. She took her hand, shaking it as she smiled, “Odette, that’s a really pretty name. I’m Ariel, it’s nice to meet you.”

“Why thank you,” Odette smiled warmly. “I think I might like Ariel better. Odette sort of makes me sound like an old lady with seventeen cats, don’t you think?”

Adam raised an eyebrow at the woman, his usual menacing expression on his face. Silently, he moved up the line, not removing his eyes from the blonde. He didn’t like it when people stared at him, and the way she looked at him made him uncomfortable, and thus, irritable.

“Look -- I said I was sorry,” Odette said as she noticed his eyes unmoving from hers. As if he was suspicious of her. Odette was harmless, but then again the main couldn’t be sure of that. “I get it, the staring’s creepy... you made your point,” she added awkwardly, keeping her eyes on his in a sort of silent competition.

Alice laughed at Odette’s humor. It was nice meeting someone who didn’t care about Alice’s odd behavior. “So, what’s your story, Odette?” Alice asked, interested in the new friend she had made. “Do you come by this small park often?”

“My story?” Odette echoed, rather nervously, not comfortable telling the whole truth. After what happened to her and her father, she couldn’t possibly tell just anybody what was going on in her life. On the other hand, Alice was lovely so Odette didn’t want to completely lie to her. “I’m traveling. I stumbled upon this place and I’m looking for a friend of mine,” she explained with a soft hum to herself. “As for this park, I’ve come here a few times. It’s a good place to think, don’t you think?” Odette commented with a soft laugh, looking to Alice. “How about you? What’s your story?”

Adam waited patiently for his turn in the coffee shop line. He glanced around the establishment, not being used to getting his coffee outside of the house. But this morning he was in a rush, as he had a meeting in about half an hour and, unsurprisingly, his nerves were getting the best of him. He could already see it going wrong in a thousand different ways. His eyes caught the unwavering stare among the morning crowd and raised an eyebrow. “Is there a problem?”

“Oh sorry,” Odette said, realizing she had been staring. He just seemed so interesting. “No um, no there’s no problem,” she said, quickly noticing the person before the man had moved up. “Oh up, you can move up a spot,” the blonde said, hoping it would distract him from their awkward exchange.

“Oh trust me, I know. It’s far from okay and I wish they’d get it through those thick skulls of their’s that we’re not trophies or prizes to be whistled at. You would have thought they’d learn manners growing up.” She sighed with a shake of her head as she looked to the blonde.

“Right? I’m sure some classes in etiquette could shape them up to be decent -- don’t you think?” the blonde suggested. “I’m Odette by the way, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said, holding her hand out for a shake.

“The one and only.” He shoved her picture into his pocket, his search over. “Y’know, my mom’s been worried sick about you. If you were okay, you should have at least given her a call.”

“The thief took my purse with my phone in it. I had to buy a new one and it didn’t have your mother’s number on it anymore. That’s why, if you guys tried to call me, I wouldn’t pick up. I’m sorry -- I just... wow I can’t believe it’s you. I’ve been looking for you or your mother for a while now because well, quite frankly I couldn’t remember the way to your guys’ house. Normally our driver just took us there and I didn’t pay attention to much else.”

“You can count on that!” Alice assured and smiled at Odette returning the introduction. “Such a nice name, much better than my boring one.” Alice let out a chuckle. “It seems there are a lot of people named Alice nowadays. I don’t think I have ever heard of the name Odette before.” Alice stopped speaking and looked Odette. “Sorry, I am rambling again, aren’t I?”

“Your name isn’t boring,” she insisted, “Besides, mine sounds like a grandmother’s name or like somebody’s stuck up cat, you know?” the blonde mused with a laugh. “Oh don’t apologize for rambling. I go off on tangents myself -- so you’ve got nothing to worry about.”

“Today?!” Ariel asked the other shocked, because she knew that people got catcalled and it could happen quite often, but more than once in one day was excessive and gross. “Some don’t know what it means to be a gentleman and tat makes me sad, seriously- no need to whistle in our way or call us sexy to get use to notice them. In fact- it’s just going to make us want to punch them in the face.” She said with a shake of her head, “Or is punching a little too violent?”

“Arguably it’s aggressive, but at this point I wouldn’t put it past me to clock one in the face because this is getting ridiculous, you know? We’re women. Living, breathing humans. Not pieces of meat that only exist for their pleasure,” Odette huffed.

“You know what? It’s getting louder in here, I’ll see you in a bit.” Derek sighed loudly, hanging up. “It’s rude to shout when someone’s on the phone, y’know.” He glanced up at the woman who’d spoken and froze. “O-Odette?”

“I wasn’t shouting, I was simply--” the blonde cut off her thought abruptly when the man turned her way. Odette couldn’t forget that face. And as if to confirm her suspicions, he uttered her name. “Derek? Is that really you?”

Punzie couldn’t help but pout at the sight of the willowy man standing on the sidewalk. “Well, he probably just found out that his wife is pregnant. But they haven’t been having sex for months, maybe years, so he knows it’s not his.”

“I feel bad for him,” she said, her heart heavy at the possibility of Punzie’s story being the reality. Odette had to remind herself they were just making things up. “This is actually a nice way to pass the time,” she said thoughtfully.
