In The Spotlight

{ Chapter 26 }

Special Chapter

Tara's POV

Sighing I put my hands in my pockets, today was just...

Looking up I noticed I was where I needed to be. "Not needed, wanted. " I muttered to myself.

Reaching out to open the door, it opened before I reached it. Standing there was someone I had hoped I'd never have to see again. Crossing his arms with a glare stood Clark.

"Tara, what are you doing here?" He glowered. I rolled my eyes,  I don't have time for this.

"None of your business, just let me in Clark." I told him, he was always getting in my nerves when I came here. That's why I should have never came back.

"This place is toxic." I spoke underneath my breath. Clark having heard me speak asked my what I just said.

"Just move." I pushed him out of the way and walked in and immediately started coughing, the smell of weed was extremely strong, more so since I haven't been here in three weeks.

"Woah." I coughed out. Clarke bumped my shoulder purposely while walking bye me.  "Whimp." He sneered.

Rolling my eyes I followed him, knowing that he would take me where I needed to go. We walked down a hallway full with doors, some closed, others slightly open.  Nothing seemed out of ordinary, but I knew where to look. All the closed doors had more than on lock on the inside, I could tell because of the slight indentation that was above the door handle. It happens when you do it yourself. Looking up in between some doors where cameras, not noticeable ones, small barely undetectable ones; unless you're really observation or you've been here before you wouldn't notice it.

The place although outside seemed worn down and old, the inside was the opposite. It looked like it had been recently renovated. Reaching my arm up I coughed into my elbow, still not completely over the familiar but forgotten smell.

Suddenly we stopped. "He won't be happy to see you, you do know that right?" A question that most people would say with at least a little concern, Clarke said with a lot of annoyance.

"Tell me something I don't know." I simply responded, trying to keep my voice emotionless, he was beginning to get on my nerves. Someone once told be despite having the best porker face they've ever seen...

"Your voice always gives away your emotion, every single time. It's so strange, yet wonderful." He told me his back facing me.

Even though I couldn't see his face, I could tell his arms were crossed and he held something, shaped like a cigar, in his right hand.

Rasing a brow, I ignored his comment, going back to the point of original conversation. "OK, that's great but can you do it?"

His shoulders stiffened slightly, if I wasn't so observant I wouldn't have picked it up. He's nervous....because of me. Smiling slightly I sat down, still waiting for a reply.

"Okay, I'll help you out but on one condition." He turned to face me. "You have to-"

I shook my head, stopping those thoughts from running through my head. It's been a long time since then, I've matured and became less naive. Things have changed. I just wasn't sure if they were for better or worse.

"Tara." The voice that began the sound of my personal demise.

Frowning, I looked at him. "Jimmy, look I'm here for a little while and I just need o-" Before I could even finish the raven haired boy interrupted me.

"Look, Tara I know what you want." Jimmy sat up in his chair, leaning back slightly. "You want to come back to the dark side." He deepened his voice and gave me a glare.

I rolled my eyes when he burst into laughter. "I'm kidding lil Ma, what do you need? " He asked me secretly.

I sat down on his desk, moving aside some loose paper. "I need a detective." I told him.

He raised a brow, his bright blue eyes sparkled with mischief. "Detective? What for lil Ma?" He questioned, leaning forward. Seemingly interested.

"Yup, and I need them to spy on my sister and her boyfriend." I deadpanned.

He laughed, "Okay, on one condition."

I sighed already knowing this was a bad idea, "Drop it on me black bird. "

"Friday night, 7 o'clock, me and you doll." He gave me a sneaky grin.
