Chapter 10 | Call From Jennifer

 

JT sat down on the couch in his loft, picked up a bottle of whiskey located on his coffee table, and poured himself a drink.  He leaned back and got comfortable he took a sip, “Ahhhhh. Burns a little, Just the way I like it. Just like getting kicked by a mule.”

JT called out, “Cella.” “Yes JT,” she replied. JT made a request, “Cella, we need to start tracking down the other BMIs. They're here for a reason. What do you have on the number 1600?” Cella checked online databases and stated, “JT I have over one hundred trillion records with 1600 in them. Can you narrow down your request?” JT didn’t have any ideas for narrowing the search, so he just told her, “Disregard. That's all I got.” Cella replied, “Anything else?”  JT replied, “No! I need to rest for a bit to recharge. Wake me in an hour.”

He closed his eyes and took a nap. About an hour later Cella announced an incoming call, “Incoming call.” JT asked, “Who is it?” Cella asked the caller to identify herself and she advised him, “She identified herself as Jennifer from Cybernotics.” JT responded, “Answer please.”

The call was connected and Jennifer said, “Detective.”  JT listened and paused for a second, “Yes.” Jennifer spoke quickly and asked, “Can I come see you? I need to talk.” JT agreed to see her, “Of course, Cella send her my location.” Cella transmitted JT’s loft address to Jennifer and she replied, “Thank you Detective, I'll be there in a bit. Bye.”

Cella had disconnected the call from Jennifer and told JT as he lay back down to sleep, “I'll wake you when she arrives.” The room went dark as JT shuts his eyes.
