The Perfect She |Completed|

23. Your Friends Can Have Other Friends

Amber and I met Tasnime at a secluded table in a pretty cafe at 9 am.

As soon as she texted me the address in the morning, I prepared myself mentally and physically for the encounter. I didn't know what to expect exactly. But I knew she had left me and Amber in Toroyal, and went to Vancouver with her new bestie.

We had been replaced.

When I entered the café, I was shocked to see Amber going in at the same time as me from the other entrance. Wow. She was early too. Guess she wanted answers as fast as possible.

I motionnned with my head to the stairs, and she followed me. She said hi, and a few other things. But my head was already wit Tessie. I was btrying to brace myself for the hurtful words.

I knew they'd be.

A few pieces of information I was intent on getting though, was why she moved to Vancouver, where she worked and who Meredith was.

Not that hard, right ?

Well. It turned out that those were the questions that she couldn't answer. The reason was even shadier.

It went more messy than I expected.

When my phone pinged, and I pulled it out of my jean pocket, I was surprised to see it was from Tess. She was early too, at a table in the upper floor. Good. the faster, the better.

I had dyed my hair for the ocaasion. I couldn't let anyone recognize me. At all. My was orange in spaced buns. I also had green contacts on, and baggy boyish clothes.

Amber and Tess knew to do the same when going out with me without my bodyguards. They were also wearing "out of their style" clothes.

Since Tess sent me a pic of herself earlier, I knew who she was at the top. She was dressed as a Tom boy. Amber was an egirl. Amber's outfit was ironic to me, because she hated their dark clothes, and the way they styled the whole attire.

"Hey T." I said, sitting down at one sound of the round metal table. We were on the roof of the building.

"Hey Aria." It was my code name. It was also her voice.

"Hey little one." She greeted Amber. Amber waved back.

Tess looked at us for three seconds two long-

"God-ok" She said, putting her phone on the table with keys and a small notebook. "Let's get right into it."

I nodded.

"I moved to Vancouver because I joined an organization that fights for human rights. Their headquarters are there. They also have their own building where you room. And I also get to apply for jobs at some of the nicest restaurants of the world."

Amber nodded. She looked satisfied already. I was far from being so.

"What do you do there exactly?"

She looked at me, an eyebrow twitching. "We fight- crime."

"There's the cops for that. And the Enforcers of Peace."

She rubbed her forehead. It could have been because it was hot, and she was facing the sun. or because the questions were making her sweat. "No. We find deeper crime, crime that can't be solved with violence."

"What's the name of the organization?"

I had never heard of an organization like that. Maybe if I knew the name, I could understand it better?

Or maybe she was lying. And she wouldn't tell me the name.

"I... can't tell you."

"Why not?"
