"Look, Don't contact me anymore!!" and that was that...<br><br>It was one Friday night, David was at home up late watching infomercials and flipping the channels.&nbsp; It was well past 1 AM and he should have been out with his friends partying, or at the very least in bed.&nbsp; But all he could think about was his ex.&nbsp; "What was she up to?&nbsp; Why did she move on so abruptly, and was there any way he could get her back into his life?"&nbsp; &nbsp;He knew why she had left.&nbsp; He had been unfaithful once before in their relationship, but it was several years back and he seemed to think that they had patched things up and everything was back to normal.&nbsp; David did have his flirtatious ways and often misused facebook and other social media by flirting with women, even if it was harmless.&nbsp; It was one of these messages left up on his laptop which Lilly saw and confronted him about.&nbsp; It was the straw that broke the Camels back, as Lilly packed her stuff up and was gone the next day.&nbsp; Nothing David could do to talk her into staying.&nbsp; He had really goofed up, and thought maybe it was for the better.&nbsp; But the more he thought about it, the more he missed her and wanted her back.<br><br>During a commercial, an ad for a private investigator came on.&nbsp; "Want to see what your adolescent teens are up to?&nbsp; Need to find dirt on a loved one?&nbsp; Need to get in touch with someone that wont take your calls?"&nbsp; We're here to help!!"....The commercial was a new one, David had never seen it before, and after thinking about it long and hard, maybe this was the answer he needed.&nbsp; Maybe these guys could get in contact with Lilly.&nbsp; Reaching for his cell phone, he dialed the 1-800 number and got a recording.&nbsp; He patiently listened and then left a voice message....<br><br>" Ahh Yes...um, My name is Chris and , I'm trying to uh get in contact with my ex Fiance....and I guess you guys are the experts at this sort of stuff.&nbsp; Please call me back when you can.&nbsp; My number is 704-443-9000.&nbsp; Thank You"&nbsp; He hung up, looked at his watch and decided to call it a night.&nbsp; The Endless possibilities raced through his head.&nbsp; He wondered if the P.I. company would even be able to track her down, she could have moved across the country for all he knew.&nbsp; And if they did, what would they find?&nbsp; Was she lonely and miserable like him?&nbsp; Was she back to partying and being promiscuous as she was in her younger days before they met?&nbsp; Was she in love with someone else?&nbsp; &nbsp;He forced himself to think of anything but her as he laid down in bed, rubbed his eyes and dozed off.

				(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/6d/Redhead1.jpg)<br><br>Mia Spencer entered the office early that morning, she was usually the first one in the office anyway. Victor was always running late, just like back in the days when he was on in the precinct. <br><br>They had met over five years ago, she was a freelance investigator for the police, and he was on the force. She was keen and cunning and always found what she was sent out for.&nbsp; She had a 98% success rate when it came to investigations. She knew how to work all the angles and knew how to solve a case in the quickest time anyone had ever seen. <br><br>When he came to her and proposed that they go into business together, she didn't give it a second thought. She wanted more freedom to investigate, and not always be under the guise of the city. She was a rule breaker and that wasn't looked upon so well but the city. So She joined Victor five years ago in their own practice. <br><br>She saw the light blinking on the machine and took all the messages off it. It was the last one that intrigued her the most. Ex- fiancée, could be a really interesting case. She put that message on the top. She knew Victor almost always liked her picks.&nbsp; She looked at the clock and shook her head. 'Late again," she sighed, waiting for him to burst through the door with some excuse or another.

				(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/22/Victor_Calhoun.jpg)<br><br>Victor picked up two coffees and a bag laden with two breakfast sandwiches from the usual hole in the wall joint he was a regular at in the morning.&nbsp; However, this time he didn't have the luxury to sit down for his eggs.&nbsp; He had woken up later than normal after a long night and Mia was going to have words with him.&nbsp; Words that he had heard again and again ever since they worked started working together.&nbsp; Victor didn't see why she would make a big deal out of it.&nbsp; Most of their clients with the few freak examples never showed up before 10 anyway, so there really wasn't a need to rush to get behind their desks before then.&nbsp; Hopefully the peace offering of the coffee and sandwich would mollify her.<br><br>Balancing the cups and the bag in one hand, Victor didn't bother fumbling for the keys for the office.&nbsp; Mia was already inside and the door would be unlocked.&nbsp; Victor could see her sitting behind her desk, no doubt staring at the door.&nbsp; He wouldn't disappoint and he popped the door open and smiled at Mia.&nbsp; "Peace, Mia.&nbsp; I bring an offering of breakfast and hot coffee.&nbsp; I know, I know, I'm running late; overslept and my alarm didn't wake me up..."&nbsp; Victor set one of the cups on Mia's desk along with the bag before taking off his own coat and hanging it up.<br><br>Taking a sip from his cup, Victor looked at Mia.&nbsp; "So any early worms pop up for a peek, Mia?"&nbsp; He looked towards the machine, it wasn't blinking so either there wasn't or Mia had taken them off again.&nbsp;

				He came in with that smile and those puppy eyes knowing he was in trouble with her. She had to admit though, had he not brought breakfast, she wouldn't have eaten at all. "OK, maybe you need a better alarm clock then. One with crashing cymbals perhaps." She took her sandwich and coffee and began to go over the messages they had for the morning. <br><br>"Yeah we have a good one, some guy named Chris. Looking for his ex- fiancée. Could be interesting. Something juicy, maybe she left him for another guy, or woman." Mia chuckled at the thought, it wouldn't be the&nbsp; first time. <br><br>She handed the message to Victor, "Here's the number, why don't you give him a call while I go through the other cases." She went back to finish her sandwich and began prioritizing which other cases they might take on if this one didn't pan out.

				Victor looked at the message from Chris and smiled.&nbsp; Jobs like this were always fun and juicy as Mia liked to put it.&nbsp; It wouldn't tax their resources too much, for some reason or another it was always easy to track them down.&nbsp; It was almost like they wanted to get caught doing it.&nbsp; Either way, it was easy money to pad their accounts which was never a bad thing.&nbsp; The flow of money into their coffers was never a sure thing.<br><br>Sometimes business was good and they would have a fat month.&nbsp; Sometimes business was slow and not one person would knock on their door for a month.&nbsp; While he hadn't left the force because he didn't get paid, the harsh reality was that there were always bills to be paid and sometimes not enough money ended up in their pockets at the end of the quarter.&nbsp; That was why he had gotten them a TV ad in order to keep them in the public eye so to speak to lure in more customers.&nbsp; "Sure thing, Mia."&nbsp; Victor took another drink from his cup before he got settled down at his desk and picked up the phone and dialed Chris' number.&nbsp; "Hello?&nbsp; Is this Chris?&nbsp; I'm returning your call in regards to your issue..."<br><br>""

				Chris was just finishing up a meeting with a few colleagues and some potential new clients at work.&nbsp; He worked for a Law firm downtown and was a pretty successful up and coming trial lawyer in the city.&nbsp; As the meeting was wrapping up, he heard his cell phone buzzing in his jacket pocket as he reached for it, not recognizing the 1800 number....maybe it was his bank calling him? He answered... "Hello, Chris Speaking"&nbsp; <br><br>A stunned look overcame his face when he realized who was returning his call, He had almost completely forgot about calling the Private Investigator, after all it was on a whim.&nbsp; Covering the cell phone, "guys excuse me, I have to take this call and get back to my office.." as he quickly grabbed his briefcase and hustled out of the conference room and into his office, shutting his office door.&nbsp; "Oh Hey, thanks for returning my call" he spoke in a hushed tone, so as nobody would hear his conversation through his office door.<br>"So.....How does this exactly work?"

				"Relax, Chris.&nbsp; We'll walk you through the process step by step."&nbsp; Victor had to smile at Chris whispering into the phone.&nbsp; Most people had that reaction when called by an private investigator.&nbsp; It was something due to watching way too many of the old dramas in his opinion as he had told Mia once a while back.&nbsp; This wasn't the movies where there were hidden daggers in every shadow waiting for the unwary.&nbsp; "First of all, why don't you come down to our office.&nbsp; Then we can discuss this matter in private away from any eyes or ears."<br><br>"Do you have our address, Chris?"&nbsp; Victor pulled out a pad and started writing down some notes on this new prospective client.&nbsp; "I can assure you we will handle your issue with absolute discretion.&nbsp; What you say here will never leave the room.&nbsp; Now when would be good time for you?"

				I Know you guys are located downtown, I didn't write the address down, but if you can give it to me, I'll write it down now" Chris grabbed a pen and paper and listened alertly for the address and directions.<br><br>"That's only 10 minutes from where I work, perhaps I can stop by on my way home, You'll be open past 5 PM, Correct?"<br><br>"Great, See you in a few hours!"&nbsp; Chris hung up the phone and got back to work.&nbsp; Shortly before leaving work, he packed up his belongings in his suitcase and was rushing to get out of the office, to beat traffic and head over to the address of the Private Investigator he had written down.&nbsp; &nbsp;It dawned on him that maybe he should bring a picture or two.&nbsp; Luckily he had a few of the more recent pics of her on his desk top from a dinner date and a vacation they went on merely a month before the break up.&nbsp; He printed the pics out, slipped them into a folder and tucked the folder neatly in his briefcase before heading down to the parking garage and getting into his car, a 2011 Audi sports car. <br><br>Traffic was light and Chris pulled up in front of the building, double checked the address and parked on the street.&nbsp; He nervously whistled a tune stuck in his head as he knocked on the door, before entering the Office of the red brick building..

				"Of course, we'll see you then, Chris. Good-bye."&nbsp; Victor hung up and looked to Mia.&nbsp; "Looks like Chris will be coming in later after work.&nbsp; Do we have any surveillance scheduled for tonight, Mia?"&nbsp; He looked down as his pad and scribbled down a few more thoughts.&nbsp; "It looks like it'll be another late night again, no overtime though."&nbsp; Victor smiled&nbsp; as he got up and headed over to start making a file for Chris in their cabinet.&nbsp; It may pan out, it may not but Victor believed in being prepared either way.<br><br>"Now what else do we have on the docket for today?"&nbsp; Victor headed over to Mia's desk to see what other cases were on the desk.&nbsp; He had a good feeling today about prospects.&nbsp; Whiles this wasn't police work, Victor liked the satisfaction of being in the mix and being able to help out the community directly without too much red tape entangling him.

				Chris sat in his car, listening to the radio.&nbsp; One of Lilly's favorite songs had just come on and it brought a rush of memories in a flooding wave to his brain.&nbsp; He hated missing her.&nbsp; He wish he could just move on, like all of his guy friends have been telling him.&nbsp; But as much as he faked enjoying guys night out, drinking at the bar and dancing with women, at the end of the night he would go home, alone, depressed.&nbsp; He reached into his briefcase and looked over the pictures of Lilly he had brought.&nbsp; It was the end of the song and the commercial that followed that snapped him out of his daze.<br><br>He was here, should he go through with it?&nbsp; What would be the out come?&nbsp; Would they be able to track her down, and if so what would they reveal about her life now that he was no longer apart of it?&nbsp; A Pridefull man, Chris hated the fact he was about to resport to sneaky, spying type tactics to uncover Lilly's whereabouts, but it ate him up more inside, not to know.&nbsp; He put the pictures back in the briefcase, exited his car, and walked up the steps to the door of the Building.&nbsp; Entering the Lobby, he scanned the plaque with tenates names and what floor they were on.&nbsp; "3rd floor" .&nbsp; Pressing the elevator up button, he waited nervously.

				Mia looked at Victor as he hung up the phone. "No, nothing for tonight, Miss Williams called off her surveillance for tonight, something about having Bridge night. So it this guy on the up and up? Does he&nbsp; really want to go through with it and find her?" There were often times that clients would call, want to find a lost love then get cold feet and bail. She hoped this wouldn't be like those times.<br><br>"Hmm, well, I have some research for the Muller case, but that's all computer work, and we have these," Mia handed him a stack of bill for the agency and giggled. "It's all yours partner. Seems like we'll be in the black this month, so don't cringe." She sat down behind her desk and began her research, still chuckling to herself.

				Lillian Nottingham also known as ‘Lilly’ by some close friends and relatives about a year ago was involved in a relationship with David. She really thought he was the one when he popped the question to her. They had a good relationship going on for many years and gotten used to spending time together. Being the rich man, he provided what Lilly needed but she never felt as if she was doing all this because of his money.<br><br>She was a ‘one guy type’ of a gal and even though she was very flirtatious prior to meeting him but once they actually started dating, she was very dedicated to her man; unlike David who still flirted with few of his friends. She never doubted him; speaking of which, she never even doubted when he confronted to her about his relation with another girl while they were dating. Being a kind girl and in love with David, she forgave him and put that past behind them.<br><br>It was recently, few months back, when she replied yes to David proposal and got engaged soon after. She was a type of girl who everyone wanted to marry and few of his friends even made jokes about if he wasn’t planning to propose her, they would. She was happy and then something happened, a fight broke off; while all other things she had kept inside of her these many years finally erupted into a big emotional drawback as she wondered what she was doing was the right thing. There were times when David even accused her of being with him for his money, and blamed her for him flirting with other girls as if she doesn’t meet up to his expectations in bed as if she was holding something back.<br><br>Something clicked in her mind and she left him without even a notice or a hint that would warn him about her plan of leaving him behind breaking off their engagement. She even bought her wedding dress which she tore it apart and threw it away. Today, she still remembers that day crystal clear which changed her life afterwards and she became the person she is today maybe for good or for bad. She went about living her life with her college friend who was two states far from her previous location with a beginning. She went about looking for a decent job but to no avail, she failed as she rent and bills were overdue.<br><br>Her friend worked at this elite rich neighborhood strip club as she was making a good living off of it. It was her friend who suggested that she live in her apartment as she was buying a new expensive condo few miles out of town. She also suggested that she should look into working there at the club as a part time until a good job comes her way so at least she can start making payment on her bills and rent.<br><br>She avoided taking up her suggestion, continued looking for a job and few months passed by, yet she was still in the same place. Finally, she agreed to work there part time about two months back seeing it as an only way out and she made good living out of it. Recently, she was hired by a good prestigious accounting firm as a part-timer. This was working fine as both her jobs didn’t interfere with on another; one job was few days a week and other was few nights and weekends. Even though she made more money at the strip club, she didn’t mind being at the firm working her way up to become a full timer.<br><br>That morning, she was suppose to be working at a firm as she got dressed up in her black pencil skirt and a white top with matching heels. She went to work living double life; she enjoyed working with people as normal person would. Going up to her cubicle, she went about doing her work. As of today, she never looked back and thought about David or the life she had with him.

				"I don't know, Mia.&nbsp; He did seem a bit rabbity on the phone.&nbsp; But that's why we have these interviews, right?&nbsp; Assess the client and then determine if we want to take the case."&nbsp; Victor walked over and took the stack of bills from Mia.&nbsp; "We'll collect some information and make a final decision if we want to take Chris and his case on.&nbsp; Although it does sound fun, when was the last time we had an unfaithful wife case?"&nbsp; He laughed as he gave a quick look through of the bills.&nbsp; "Ah the collectors, what would we do our money if we didn't feed it to them..."<br><br>Victor returned to his desk and pulled out the books and started tallying the bills to what he had written down.&nbsp; He liked having things written down in duplicate so he just double-checked and marked a few new entries within the ledger.&nbsp; Once that was done the checkbook came out and Victor dashed out checks and stuffed the envelopes before having them sent out.&nbsp; When he came back, Victor brought some hot lunch to share and did some writing on the Williams issue.<br><br>Before they knew it, the clock had ticked towards their appointment and Victor had the photos he was studying locked away.&nbsp; Pocketing his keys he looked at Mia.&nbsp; "Looks like he's almost here.&nbsp; Get your game face on and let's see what Chris has in store for us."&nbsp; He then walked to the door and double-checked that it was unlocked before he got back to his seat to wait for Chris to either knock on the door or just head inside.

				*reaching for the doorhandle, Chris tried it, it was unlocked and he opened it slowly, peeking inside, before entering, his briefcase in hand.&nbsp; "Hi, I'm Chris....I' called earlier" he said somewhat shyly as he made his way into the office toward where&nbsp; Victor was seated.&nbsp; It was a small office, as Chris looked around in the few seconds it took for him to approach Victor, he noticed the company to be a small one, with two desks.&nbsp; He saw a young lady who seemed hard at work at her desk, stacks of papers and files littered on both desks.<br><br>He was finally going through with it.&nbsp; No more wondering, no more making up stories about where his ex was, who she was with.&nbsp; He felt a little dirty inside, like maybe this was against the rules, but his brain wouldn't be content anyother way.&nbsp; He had to know.&nbsp; &nbsp;He took a seat opposite of Victor's desk and waited for him to finish up with whatever he was working on at the moment.

				Victor looked up from his desk and smiled broadly at Chris.&nbsp; He got up and offered his hand to him.&nbsp; "Welcome to the agency, Chris.&nbsp; My name is Victor and my partner here is Mia."&nbsp; Victor sized Chris up.&nbsp; Dressed to the nines, he certainly had money to his name and Chris looked the part of someone who would be willing to pay a bit for peace of mind.&nbsp; Victor was certainly grateful that he was.&nbsp; These sorts of clients were the rare fishes in the pond that could be counted on making their bank accounts very very happy.<br><br>"So why don't you tell us more about your situation, Chris?&nbsp; We hold everything spoken here in the strictest confidence."&nbsp; Victor tried to reassure Chris that he was doing the right thing in coming to their office.&nbsp; "Gives us more information to work from so we can start evaluating your options."

				Mia had to chuckle to herself. It was typical that the male clients felt more comfortable talking to Victor. They never thought that maybe, just maybe she too was just as good, or even better than a male detective. Most guys thought she might only be the secretary, which always burned her.&nbsp; <br><br>She let the men chatter on until Victor introduced her and she smiled from her desk. She sized Chris up from her desk, well dressed, this was going to be a well paying client for sure. For now, she would just observe, let the men have their little talk while she took mental notes of the conversation.

				Chris meet Victor's hand with a firm, friendly handshake, then politely waved over in Mia's direction before taking a seat opposite Victor.&nbsp; He lowered his gaze a bit nervously, chewing on his bottom lip as he stumbled in his mind as to where to start with divulging the information.&nbsp; "Ahh, Well umm, lets see...." He cleared his throat, "I've been broken up with my ex for 8 months now, and having a hard time moving on.&nbsp; It's one of those things where I can't get her out of my mind, and if it were up to me, We would have never broken up.&nbsp; But she's the one who called it quits, kind of abruptly left one weekend after we had a fight.&nbsp; I never saw it coming....."his voice trailed off.<br><br>"I guess what I'm hoping for is maybe to find a way to get in touch with her.&nbsp; I still feel like we have unfinished business and I want to try my hardest to get her back.&nbsp; But she changed her phone number and hasn't responded to any of my emails in the last 6 months.&nbsp; So I guess that's why I'm here...."

				Victor saw the look in Mia's eye when she nodded in acknowledgment.&nbsp; He had known her long enough to get a feel when Mia wasn't happy but was too polite to act out on it.&nbsp; She probably was grousing over the fact that Chris had came over to talk to him over her first.&nbsp; The male clients did tend to gravitate towards talking to him over talking to Mia first even though they were equal partners in this.&nbsp; He lifted his hand up to caution Chris. "Before we continue any further, I want you to be honest with me.&nbsp; Has she brought any legal actions against you?"<br><br>Victor wanted to cover his bases and more importantly he didn't want the cops at his old precinct getting the wrong idea of his business.&nbsp; Victor and Mia were in the business of handling issues on the down low, not facilitating scumbags who wanted someone to legally stalk their victims.&nbsp; He gave a look at Mia to see what she was thinking about Chris and if she was thinking the same thing he was.

				Mia raised an eyebrow as Chris told his story. <em>Maybe she doesn't want to be found, maybe she's just done with you,</em> she thought to herself. Men somehow never knew how to let go if a woman left them first. They could leave a woman weeping on the floor without a care, but god forbid a woman leave them first. Most men thought they were God's gift to women, and could not believe a woman would actually walk out on them. <br><br>She hoped to God he wasn't some stalker type, and knew that was what Victor was trying to surmise through his questions. Stalkers came in all shapes and sizes, and you could never tell just by looking at them. She continued to stay quiet, letting Victor do is work, hoping Chris would spill the beans on the whole deal with this fiancée that decided to haul ass and run off.&nbsp; <br>

				Chris was slightly taken back by Victor's Question..."Legal Action, why of course not!!&nbsp; &nbsp;No I certainly haven't given her any reason to.&nbsp; I mean at first I thought maybe trying to call her 10-12 times a day was a bit excessive and she would resort to maybe filing some sort of restraining order, but as it turns out she changed her number.&nbsp; None of my emails have been replied to which leads me to believe she's blocked my email address or changed hers.&nbsp; But in any event, I'm not the stalker type, all though the thought has crossed my mind" he chuckled, but not seeing the amusement in Victor or Mia's face, ..."but that's when I decided to leave the snooping around to the professionals."&nbsp; If anyone could track her down and figure out what she's up to, it definitely would have to be the professionals Chris thought.

				Victor was indeed less than amused by Chris' comment about being the stalker type.&nbsp; When it involved business, Victor did not like the possibility of getting into trouble with the law.&nbsp; He had spent enough time on the force to not appreciate unprincipled investigators and he would turn into one himself.&nbsp; "First of all, Chris.&nbsp; I want you to understand that we do not guarantee an one hundred percent success rate.&nbsp; If we can find her, we will."&nbsp; Victor leaned back in his seat.&nbsp; "Second, we charge a retainer fee and if additional expenses do accrue you will be charged accordingly."<br><br>Victor leaned forward again in his seat placing his hands on his desk, he drew out a pen and began to take down&nbsp; few notes.&nbsp; "If this is acceptable, then we can proceed.&nbsp; Why don't you tell me more about your ex.&nbsp; Contact information and anything else you can think of.&nbsp; This way it'll make our job easier in tracking her down."

				Chris Nodded his head as Victor explained the charges and that there was no guarantees, but that they would do everything they could.&nbsp; He knew there it wasn't certain they would find her, but he knew they sure had a hell of a lot better chance using their skills and resources than he did.&nbsp; "Err how much does a job like this typically run?"&nbsp; Chris asked, wondering just how much he would have to pay to even get the process started.<br><br>"Lets see, I know her mom lives in Banister, that's a Town about 30 minutes north of here.&nbsp; So she may have moved in with her.&nbsp; &nbsp;and one of her close friends lives just outside of town, possible she might have moved in with her, but her place was small so I'm not sure..&nbsp; &nbsp;Or she could have got her own apartment, like I said I'm not really sure" he paused, scratching his head.<br>"Her old cell phone number was 202-730, 8879 but that number was disconnected.&nbsp; &nbsp;and her email address, well I'm not sure if its connected or not, but she definitely doesn't respond to any of my emails."&nbsp; He took a moment to jot down where she worked and her email address.&nbsp; "I really think that's it, " he said not really able to come up with anymore useful information to help the investigators.

				"It depends on what resources your ex-fiancee can muster to keep prying eyes away from her.&nbsp; If she has more, then it will take longer and our expenses will run higher to track her down and the converse is true."&nbsp; Victor started writing down a generalized estimate for the initial bill.&nbsp; "Our retainer fee is $4,000 and typically expenses may run to about $200 a day conservatively speaking."&nbsp; He put down his pen and tore off the rates which he had written down from the pad and gave it to Chris.&nbsp; "Of course, expenses can run higher...gathering information is not an cheap proposition, Chris.&nbsp; But we accept, cash, credit, or check."<br><br>As Chris talked about his fiancee, Victor jotted down a few more notes.&nbsp; "I'm also going to need a name and also any particular habits she has.&nbsp; What kind of food does she prefer, what sort of movies, clothes...anything you can think of your fiancee would be appreciated.&nbsp; Also do you have anything where you live that belongs to your fiancee?"&nbsp;

				Chris nodded as Victor started to explain the price break down and how it really all depended how the investigation went.&nbsp; "I understand"&nbsp; He had never thought about Lilly spending money to hide her self from him any futher than she already had, but it was possible.&nbsp; "I can mail you a check first thing tomorrow if you like, Victor?"<br><br>Chris scratched his head.&nbsp; Lilly had pretty much taken everything that was hers the weekend she moved out abruptly.&nbsp; There were a few shared household items which they agreed who would get what.&nbsp; But not anything major stood out to Chris. "There were a few of her half empty perfume bottles, and cosmetics she left behind.&nbsp; I threw most of it out with the exception of her favorite perfume, because well, it reminded me of her.&nbsp; Let's see her favorite Mall to shop at or go to the Movies would be the one down town. Oakview Mall....favorite store would be forever 21 or Sephora....Favorite food would probably be Chinese Carryout.&nbsp; She' loves to cook at home though and is always trying new recipes.&nbsp; She has a gym membership and she'll work out for a few months and take a few months off, she's never really consistant with that.&nbsp; &nbsp;I'm not exactly sure which gym she works out at but its a block or two from her Job....that's really all I know...."

				Mia had sat quietly behind her desk taking notes as the two boys conversed. Victor was handling the interview perfectly, telling Chris about the rates and taking all the information about the girl that got away. There were a couple points that Victor had missed and that was the point when Mia leaned forward to chime in.<br><br>"Before she left you, did she make any new friends, buy anything new? Was she being secretive, going out at odd hours and making excuses? Did you ever think that maybe she had planned on leaving and this fight was a way out?" She sat there with this look on her face that she figured the lady in question may not have been happy for a while and this was all a way to get away from Chris and never see him again.

				"Mia I often would ponder the same questions, wondering if I missed signs of her wanting a way out.&nbsp; If the signs were there, then I was oblivious to them" Chris shook his head.&nbsp; &nbsp;"She never really stayed out real late except on the occasional weekend night, dinner and drinks with her girlfriends, or to hit a club to celebrate So-n-So's birthday, but nothing out of the ordinary".&nbsp; &nbsp;Chris did some deep reflection.&nbsp; &nbsp;If there were signs that she was unhappy, then he certainly didnt see them.&nbsp; If he had he would have done everything in his power to have fixed them before she was gone out of his life.

				She cocked her eyebrow as Chris gave his answer, perhaps those weekends out were more than what he thought they were. She had already jotted down the cell number and was running a trace on the numbers. Even after it was disconnected, there were still phone records that could be linked to the number. It looked like a couple weeks before she bailed, there was one number that was repeated often. She wouldn't mention it now, but Mia would play her cards after Chris left and let Victor in on what she found. It looked like Lily had wanted out for a while, and and now she was free as a bird in Mia's book.

				As Mia continued to talk with Chris, Victor took a look at his notes and listened to what Chris was saying to her.&nbsp; A check would be fine, most clients paid in checks despite the fact that for the sake of modernity, the office also had a credit card reader.&nbsp; He began to jot down a few notes on the first places they were going to stake out to see if Chris' fiancee...Jane Doe still frequented them.&nbsp; Victor had a suspicion that she would.&nbsp; Most people were creatures of habit and even if she was cutting ties with Chris she would still frequent the same brand stores.&nbsp; Victor drew out an empty folder and wrote down Chris' name on it and slipped in a few of the notes in it.<br><br>Victor got up and walked over to the cabinet and slipped his file into the drawer before drawing out their business card.&nbsp; "Well, it's running a bit late and I think you probably want to go have some dinner so why don't I see you out, Chris.&nbsp; We'll get to work right away on your case."&nbsp; &nbsp;Victor smiled reassuringly and patted Chris on his back before he gave him their business card, "Don't worry, we'll do everything in our power to find her.&nbsp; You can make out the check to the agency and if you have any questions you can call the number."

				Chris stood up and eagerly shook Victor's hand.&nbsp; The hard part was over.&nbsp; He had gone through with the decision to finally reach out and find her and hopefully contact her.&nbsp; Now instead of fear of never hearing from her, his heart was full of hope and butterfiles.&nbsp; He felt confident that Victor and Mia were skilled investigators and knew it probably only be&nbsp; a matter of time before they tracked her down.<br><br>"Thanks Again, Victor..and Mia" as he waved to her, grabbing his suitcase and heading to the front door.&nbsp; "I'll mail the check tomorrow morning" as he looked at the Business card Victor handed him to ensure the address was on there.&nbsp; He turned and headed outside, to his car.&nbsp; The sun had set moments before and the sky was turning dark as he climbed inside his ride, turned the radio on and drove home.&nbsp; He was excited and anxious for once.

				Mia waved back at Chris as he left. There was something about him she didn't trust. Why the hell was he so hell bent on finding a woman that obviously didn't want to be found? Still it was not her place to question, once they had his check in hand, it was all business. <br><br>After he left the building, she turned to Victor, "I dunno, something about him just doesn't sit right with me. I mean she changed everything just to avoid him? Guess it will be interesting to find out why at least. Ya think we'll really get that check, or will he bail on it? He kinda winced when you told him the amount for the retainer." Mia chuckled softly, that was usually the time most clients changed their mind. Sure their price was steep, but they were the best at what they did.

				Mia always kept her business partners at bay. There was nothing worse than mixing business with pleasure, it always ended bad and ended up super awkward. She had some idea that Victor liked her, he had asked her out once or twice, but she never knew how deep his feelings ran. She was all work and no play when she was on the clock. There was nothing that could sway her from getting her job done. <br><br>She sat at her desk listening to Victor on the phone, she enjoyed it when he got down to working a case. He could be as determined as she was. They had built a pretty good business together, and she could not imagine being partners with anyone else.

				Lillian went about doing her work and since she was assigned to be a part of a project for the first time, she had to make sure she gives 100% in it. She was finally achieving her goals of a proper career for the first time in her life and there was no way she can screw it up. If she were to screw it up, she was afraid that she would have to go back to working at “The Bliss!” strip club, full time to meet her financial needs.<br><br>Her double job was working out good for now but she wished that she’d be offered a full time position from her current part time and then she can quit this old job of her as a dancer. She started working at the club when she had no other option available to her and seeing her friend lead a nice life, she finally stepped out of her shoes and took up that job. She was in constant touch with her friend Michelle who was her college roommate and best buddies, even now. She called her many times and had long conversations few days before she disappeared from Chris’s life. She even used to talk to her almost twice a week and given her usual free time, it was at night since she worked as a dancer at the Bliss. Her friend was the one who helped her get away from her old life with Chris and the same person who made Lily realize that she call off the wedding. <br><br>Finally taking up her suggestion, she got away from him and Michelle even helped her gather her new life in a different state and let Lily work under her name so no one can track her down. She made sure to go far away from Chris and start a new life; Lily couldn’t have done it without Michelle’s help. Soon, she moved there in Michelle’s apartment and started looking for a job. To no avail, she took up her suggestion and started working at the Bliss temporarily under Michelle’s name, lived in her apartment while Lily paid the rent as Michelle moved out into a bigger condo, and even her credit cards. She did use her real name at the accounting firm and that’s all. She was sure she couldn’t be tracked down by Chris even if he tried so hard and loved her new life.<br><br>She only had to wait for a full time position if offered and she will be set for good. She took a new project file and slid it in her purse thinking she will study this at home so she can be ready for it. Shutting off her computer, getting up from the chair, she made her way to an elevator to the parking lot to her car. She drove home, made a quick dinner for herself, and call it a night.<br>
