He goes into the bathroom again, so I head back to the kitchen to eat my beans while I wait.
“So you’re telling me I can do all of this on my phone?” I ask with a smile.
“Yeah…”
Who would’ve thought?
“And the food will be here by six pm tonight?”
“And they won’t even bother you. They’ll leave it right on the front porch, and your phone will go off to let you know.”
“What about Felix?”
“Job interview, huh?” he says with a raised brow.
“That’s what I said.”
“Uh-huh.” He starts typing something out on his computer, that he’s used to show me a few things about living up here. A web page about The Nerd Word pops up, but I still don’t see a picture. “Here’s the address. Give me your phone.”
I narrow my eyes but hand over the phone. He takes a picture of an address.
“What is that going to do?”
“Now you have the address in your phone, saved in your photos. All you have to do is put it into the maps app, and it’ll give you direction. Luckily, it isn’t far. Do you know how to drive?”
“Uh, sure.”
He grits his teeth and looks up at the ceiling and shakes his head.
“Don’t drive her car, or any other car, for that matter. I’ll send you info of someone who can drive you, and will be discreet.”
“Why would I need someone to be discreet?” I ask, tilting my chin up.
“You may fool your brother into thinking you’re a little angel, but I know what you really are.”
“What’s that?” I ask, feeling slightly offended.
“A manipulative demon.” He closes his computer, then grabs it as he gets to his feet. “Whatever you do is going to fall on you and your brother, since he helped you get here. Just keep that in mind before you do something stupid.”
I frown at him. “I won’t do anything to get my brother into trouble.”
He looks at me as if he doesn’t believe me, then heads to the door, but stops and turns toward me before leaving. “I’ll send you the info of someone who can drive you once I find someone capable.” He steps outside.
“Thank you!” I call after him, but he ignores me.
I hurry to lock the door, then press my back to the door as I look around.
Kiza let me know that my brother was able to edit some information up here, and it now looks like the woman who was just taken away in Kiza’s truck, sold her house for cash two weeks ago and fled the country.
I am now the proud owner of a two-bedroom, ranch style home.
The only thing it’s missing is a guest.
Chapter Four
Felix
Grinning to myself, I lean toward the mic to close out the episode. “And that, my friends, is a wrap for this week’s The Nerd Word. I’ll be diligently sifting through your requests for next time, so don’t hesitate to email me suggestions, and maybe if you’re all very good girls and boys, you might hear your word on Crude Corner. Until next time, word warriors…”
