Another Dam Day.

A 9am Carlson came out of his security office to see Matthew watching Gary’s monitors and sipping on a bottle of Jim Beam. He sat down next to him and said any news. Matthew responded with, not even a whisper. This woke up Gary. He sat up and said hi to Carlson. He asked how long he had been out because he was feeling really good. Matthew looked at the time and said around 6 hours. Gary said wow I was really out of it. Gary went to the bathroom and came back. Carlson was gone and Gary told Matthew he was really to get to work. So Matthew gave him his chair and told him he was going to the gym if he needed him.

Not long after he got to the gym a guy came in from the kitchen with a smoothie. He saw Matthew walking with a weave and a bottle of Jim Beam in one hand and mumbling curse words. Matthew looked up at him with a squint. He looked at Matthew and did a 180 out the door. Matthew wondered why. A few minutes latter Amy came in and Matthew was sitting on the floor leaning up against one of the machines. She walked up to Matthew with the smoothie in her and said what are you doing? Matthew said I am going to exercise. Amy said You are scaring people. Mathew said you mean that guy who came in? Amy said yes and you look terrible. Matthew said could you go tell the guy I am sorry? I can’t find Angel. I am number one in this business and I couldn’t stop them from taking my wife and now I don’t have a clue where she is? Amy said I perfectly understand but you need to clean yourself up and be nice to the people who love you. Everyone here loves you and are devastated by loosing Angel. Matthew said your right. Amy handed him the protein smoothie and said come by as soon as you can and tell your Mom you love her she needs it. And Hunter wants to know where her dad is. Matthew took the drink and said ok. Amy left and Matthew would take one sip of the drink in his left hand and then one sip of his Jim Beam in the right hand. After a few minutes he notice his smoothie was gone. He said I wonder if the chef makes Jim Beam smoothies? He slid across the machines bench to the floor and passed out.

He woke up and in front of him were two protein smoothies. They looked like they had been there awhile. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to see if anyone had called. No calls but it said 10:30. He must have only fallen asleep for a few minutes because he thought that was around the time he came in the gym. He picked up the smoothie that looked the best. He started drinking it and decided it had been there awhile. Why would they bring me old drinks. He picked up his phone again it said 10:40pm. PM that meant he had been asleep for about 12 hours. The drink was good because he felt dehydrated. Sitting up he downed the first drink and then the other one even though they were not fresh. After a few minutes he picked up his Jim Beam bottle and when to the showers and took a long hot shower. Afterwards he put his clothes back on and decided it was too late to go see Mom so he went to security to see Gary.

Gary was on his phone. He hung up and said I am glad you are here. That was my friend and he said ICE has agreed to a phone call but we don’t know when yet. We have to wait until my friend calls again with a time. It could be a few minutes or days. There is no way to tell. Matthew said thank god maybe he will give me some idea where Angel is. Gary said I have to pee you want to search the ocean some for me. Matthew said yes. Gary got out of his chair and Matthew slipped into it. Matthew started searching the ocean. It was around India. After awhile Gary came back and sat in a chair next to Matthew. He told Matthew that they could only use that satellite a few more minutes. After a few minutes Gary pointed to something on the computer and said see that. We have to get off this sat and try another. He signed off and looked for another. He kept yawning. He found one and told Matthew we can use this one until I get that signal and we have to get off. Matthew said you want to take a nap? You keep yawning. Gary replied Ok, be sure when you get that signal to get off. Matthew assured him he would do that. Gary laid on the couch but after a few minutes he said he couldn’t sleep. Matthew saw a really nice set of large eared noise canceling head phones and handed them to Gary. Here try these. Gary put them on and soon he was out. It was around 3am before he got the signal to log off. He hadn’t found anything but was getting better on searching. He was now able to recognize large war ships and what country they were from. He spent the rest of the night watching the monitors hopping Gary’s friend would notify him. He put his feet up on the desk and just set quite watching so Gary could get some sleep. He tried to figure out what he could do that he wasn’t. He decided he needed to know everything there was to know about this guy ICE. He started emailing people he knew on the web and many on the dark web letting them know he would pay for the smallest detail of this guys life. He wanted to know every contract ICE had taken and what he ate for breakfast. He wanted to know him better than himself.
