Urban Harvest: #2

“Hi, I am William Hades.”

“Hello Mr. Hades.”

“Debbie Meyers... right?”

“Yes...”

“That’s quite an impressive resume you have there.”

“Thank you.”

“I am sure the old fellows have filled you with enough.”

“Yes, they were generous.”

“Good.  Gentlemen, I shall take it from here. Good day.”

He holds the door open for me.

I thank the men and I see him wink at the receptionist.

..................................................................................................................

“This way please, Ms Meyers. I follow him outside through the hall, the corridor and suddenly I find myself out in the open. I am in the middle of a very large sprawling garden.

William Hades looks excited, “lovely, isn’t it Ms Meyers?”

I nod my head.

I follow him further to the end of the garden that ends with a lake. I see a boat waiting.

..................................................................................................................

“Ladies first.”

He helps me step inside the boat. The boat starts and we are moving towards what appears to be an island of some sort. The wind is lovely. I am sure I will be enjoying this trip every day.

William’s eyes are fixated on me through the entire course of our journey. Neither speaks.

Once we get down he leads me through one door after the other. And finally we stop in front of one of the doors. We give each other a quick glance. He presses a button outside the door. A young woman in her early twenties appears from nowhere.

“Good morning Mr. Hades,” the woman greets William politely.

“This is Ms Meyers. Help her change and meet me at the Window.”

“Yes, Mr Hades. This way please.”

I follow the woman as told. I enter a room where I am fumed. I change into lab clothes. Thankfully my hair is already in an up do. I quickly look at the mirror for one last time and glance back at the young woman. She nods. I take a deep breath and follow her outside to very larger Room. William Hades is already changed into Dr. William Hades and now has a serious expression across his face.

He thanks the young woman and now it’s just the two of us again.

“Are you ready Debbie?”
