Evil Desire - Episode 3

Lyla relaxed back in the lounge chair. She knew this meeting was risky, even if it was public but her curiosity had gotten the best of her. Maybe she should take some extra precautions with this meeting. She reached for the phone.

“Hello, Sally?” Sally had been her best friend since 5th grade.

“Hey, Lyla. What’s goin on? Aahhh. Sorry, didn’t mean to yawn in your ear. I’m just getting up.” Sally never had a problem with insomnia.

“I need your help on something. I need you to meet me at the airport at six this evening. Can you do it?”

“Yeah, I guess so. What’s this about? Where do we meet?” Sally said.

“We will not meet exactly. I want you to go to the Starbucks in Terminal 2, Arrival Level and have some coffee or a latte, whatever you like…”

“Hold up, let me write this down.” Sally was a stickler for accuracy and took notes for most things.

“So, I just sit there and drink coffee?”

“No. I’ll be there sitting at another table talking to someone. At some point, I want you to take pictures of the person that I’ll be conversing with, if you can do it with out being noticed. And remember as much as you can about the person for notes later.”

“Sounds sneaky,” Sally commented.

“I can’t explain now because I don’t have all the information but when the meeting is over and we’re both back at our homes, we’ll talk about it.”

“Guess I can wait for that. This is bizarre assignment. Feels like I’ve got a role in a James Bond move.” Sally laughed.

“Just remember, there are no re-takes. So don’t for get your digital camera. And don’t stare obviously. We will not communicate at all at the airport.”

“Got it. Oh, how are things with you and Walter? He’s so hot! Are you really going to dump Keith for Walter?”

“I don’t know what to do. I never believed that it was possible to be in love with two men at the same time but here I am.” Keith had been her boyfriend for eighteen months but in the last six months she had starting dating Walter Pierce, the actor, unknown to Keith.

“Well think it through thoroughly, all the pluses and minuses. But you need to do something before Keith finds out. This ain’t right, as a friend I have to say it.”

“I know. I’m just so caught up. There’s so much passion…” Lyla sighed.

“You need to get a grip girl.”

“Look I’ve got to go. Walter’s at the door.”
