second mission - success!

Lydia gave me a briefcase of my own today and made me wear some sunglasses that she said i would have to give back to her later. She said i was to go down to the local supermarket and go to the vegetable section, where i would meet up with a man in a suit who i would swap briefcases with. Then with my new briefcase in hand i would head over to an expensive hotel and ask for Mr Empty and then deliver him his goods.

I was told that at no point was i allowed to take the sunglasses off.

It didn't actually take too long, and it was actually quite easy. The man i met in the vegetable section was also wearing glasses, but his made him look quite smart and intelligent. He wore a blue suit that was ultra stylish and he had cool hair. He looked at me with my rockstar glasses and my briefcase and he said 'you are the one lydia talked about. I think you may have a... future with us should your work continue to be... satisfactory'

We swapped briefcases and then it was off to the hotel.

Apparently Mr Empty is a rockstar of sorts, but in an underground sort of way. He took my briefcase and said 'come on in man' so i did and then he sat me down on a chair and said 'now tell me who sent you,' and i said 'lydia did' and he said 'that's what they all say and so far they're all liars' and i said 'oh really? how many other people?' and he stopped for a minute and said 'Well jeez i don't actually know,' and i said 'because i would be interested to find out,' and he said 'hell yeah me too man! I'm gonna call up and find out!'

So actually it turns out there were another six people who came to his hotel room and pretended to be sent by lydia, and all of them were dealt with the only way Mr Empty's crew knows how, and apparently it is not the nicest way to be dealt with. Mr Empty ran a check on me and said i was cool and that he liked my glasses and we talked about music for a little while and had a few beers with his two bodyguards who also seem pretty cool.

Mr Empty said that if i ever needed help while he was in town i could call on him. 'Any time, any place my man, i'll be there,' he said and gave me his phone number.

Lydia was quite happy with the way things turned out and gave me the rest of the afternoon off, so i went and checked over the messageboards for any sketches i might have missed but i came up blank, which was a bit sad. I looked at the picture on the fridge again but i still can't seem to work it out. It feels like a puzzle and the missing piece is floating around somewhere in the empty space of my memories.

Tomorrow i think i am working again, but i'm not heaps sure.

Blake out.
