Just in time for breakfast “. My mom turns her head around the doorway “morning sweety. Let me make some breakfast for you quickly “”. “Hey ...mom Hey dad “ pause “hey Penny”. My sister just rolls her eyes and goes back to eating.Which is normal for her. She is dressed in her typical gothic style clothing while I am completely naked. Which I only dress like this at home. Started like 3 years ago and my parents thought it was just a phase and Penny thought I was just trying to get more attention. ..But he couldn't get her out of his mind. It was those eyes, so large andpleading, and so--familiar. Like he knew her somehow, but he had never seenher before--had he?God, this is creeping me out, he thought. Maybe if he did a little windowshopping, it might distract him for a while. On his disability check, he washardly able to do much else.He came upon a store he hadn't seen before--"Spells R Us," the sign said.Strange. Gerry thought he knew every inch of that mall--coming there hadalmost. Toh aunty ne mujhe kaha, itne dino baad aaye ho, aaj ruk jao, kal chale jaana. aur main bhi maan gaya.Kuch samay aunty se baat karte2 raat ke 8 baj chuke the. Tabhi rashmi ne awad ki vijay bhaiya khana ban gaya hai. Khana kha lo.Khana khane ke bad aur kuch der aunty se gup-shup ke bad, mujhe neend aane lagi. Aunty ko mehsus hua, mujhe neend aa rahi hai. Tab aunty ne awaz di, rashmi beta, vijay babu ke liye chhat par bistra lagado. Unke gao bijli nahi thi, ishliye mujhe chhat par sone ko. . all of that and more is changing the landscape. A good thing? Too early for me to guess.I knew, personally and professionally, that what had once been my private domain -- digital detection to coin an oversimplified term -- was now becoming more and more corporate.Not necessarily a bad thing for my line of work. Because certain dark side talents ... physical surveillance, underground contacts, underbelly familiarity, law enforcement friends, quasi-legal shortcuts, are difficult for outsiders.
