It's A Cruel World Part 12

Printer-friendly version

Katelyn felt well enough to go back to school and work. She got a new used car with the insurance money from her old car. She bought a used black 2009 Toyota Prius with only one hundred, and twelve miles on it. The person she bought the car from took really good care of it. Plus, she could buy an after-market car maintenance insurance for it, since it was under two hundred thousand miles. She did have it checked out by
Freddie before she bought it.

When Katelyn walked into XE Security, she was greeted by Brenda.

“How are you feeling, Joann?” Brenda looks at Joann as she walks in.

“I’m doing better. Oh, thank you for the flowers and the get-well card.” Katelyn/Joann puts her purse in the bottom drawer at her workstation.

“You’re welcome. So, are you ready to get back to work?” Brenda had a list of things for Joann to do.

“Sure, am. So, what’s first on the list?”

“I’m glad you asked.” Brenda hands Joann a list of things that need to be done.

Joann sits down and starts tackling the list. A smile appears on her face when Brenda gives her the key to the secure files. She had a bunch of files that needed to be added to them. So, when she is in there, she snaps a few pictures of certain files.

When Brenda or the office manager check to see how she is doing or why she is taking so long. Joann informs them that she is reorganizing the files so they have more room to add more. Any file that seemed questionable, she takes snapshots of.

She tries not to spend a lot of time in the file room. Once she is done reorganizing and taking the phones. Joann exits from the file room and gives Brenda back the key. The rest of the day Joann stays busy.

During lunch, while Katelyn is at Arby’s grabbing a roast beef sandwich. She notices a dark sedan driving by the restaurant. It wasn’t like the people in the car could spot her because she took a seat away from the window. She also parked her new car between two huge trucks and a van in front of her.

She watches the sedan as it pulls into the parking lot and looks around. After it makes a pass by the row her car was on. It leaves after driving by the front of the restaurant. That right there made her suspicious.

“So, they have my car bugged.” Katelyn finishes her lunch and leaves.

She takes her car over to where Freddie works. She parks the car heads inside the garage and greets Patsy at the reception counter.

“Hey Patsy, can I go in the back to talk with Freddie?” Katelyn noticed Patsy was wearing one of the shop's t-shirts that emphasized her breasts.
The low-cut jeans she wore, showed off her hips and butt.

Katelyn knew Pasty had been hitting on Freddie since he came to work at the shop. The funny thing was, Freddie wasn’t into women, but men and he recently met a very nice guy who was a weightlifter.

“I’m sorry, Katelyn but you know the rules. I can’t let you go into the garage area.” Patsy knew Freddie was working on a car in the garage.

“I know, but can you get him for me, please? It won’t take long.” Katelyn wanted Freddie to look through her car for a tracker.

“Alright, I’ll go and get him for you.”

“Thanks.” Katelyn goes over and stands by the window and looks outside.

She spots the sedan she saw before. An evil thought appears, as she pulls out her cell phone and makes a phone call to the police. She tells them she is being stalked by a strange vehicle that has followed her from Arby’s to the garage.

She also informs them that she is a member of the press as well. Once Katelyn finishes talking with the police, she ends the call and watches what happens next. After a few minutes, she spots the sedan that has been following her get pulled over by two police cars. An evil smile appears on her face.

Freddie was doing an oil change when Patsy came walking towards him. He wonders what she wants now. He has been ignoring her since he came to work at the garage.

“Hey Freddie, your girlfriend wants to talk to you.”

“Can you take a message, please?” Freddie puts the drain plug back into the oil pan.

“She’s upfront.” Patsy watches as Freddie tightens the drain plug.

“Alright, I’ll be up there in a minute.” Freddie wanted to get the oil change done first.

“I’ll tell her.” Patsy turns around and walks back towards the front.

Katelyn watches as the police and people following her have a heated discussion outside. One of the people refused to cooperate with a female police officer and a fight ensued.

“Katelyn, Freddie said he’ll be up in a minute. He has to finish an oil change.”

“Thanks, Patsy.”

“You’re welcome.” Patsy turns around and goes back to the counter.

Katelyn continues to watch what happens outside. Four more police officers show up and overwhelm the guys that had been trailing her. One of the guys that followed her was taken down by a huge police officer. The man looked like he played football or something.

About fifteen minutes later, Freddie comes walking up front and over to Katelyn. He notices Katelyn is looking out of the big window “What’s up Katelyn?” as he walks over to her.

Katelyn turns around to look at Freddie “I need you to go over my Prius. I think someone put a tracker either in it or on it.”

“What makes you say that?” Freddie wonders why Katelyn is acting strange.

“Because of that.” Katelyn points across the street.

Freddie looks at the cops across the street. There were a lot of them and they were handling two people.

“Is that the reason?” Freddie turns to look at Katelyn.

“Yes, they have been following me since I left XE Security. The only way they can keep track of me is by a tracker or something.”

“Could they have hacked your cellphone?” Freddie knew it was possible.

“Maybe, but I keep my phone close to me. I would know if they have.” Katelyn followed Barbara's advice and added a hidden command that records anyone who uses her phone without her permission. It recorded anyone who accessed it and sent her an email letting her know. Most of the time, it was her.

“All right, I’ll go through your car.”

“Thanks. While you are doing going over my car. Can I borrow your truck, please?” Katelyn batts her eyes at Freddie.

“You know that doesn’t work on me, right.” He reaches into his pocket and pulls his car keys out.

“I know, but you love me,” Katelyn says those words like Sandra Bullock did in the movie Miss Congeniality.

“Get, before I change my mind.” As Freddie hands Katelyn his keys.

“Here.” Katelyn hands her remote to her Prius to him in exchange.

Katelyn walks out of the shop over to Freddie’s truck and heads to her communication class.
