Arnez stood in the impressive penthouse suite, gazing out
the 34t' floor view of Times Square. He extracted a Zino
Platinum Crown Series Rocket from the sleek metal tube,
and then trimmed the end before firing it up with a palmsized blowtorch lighter covered in silver reptile skin. He
exhaled a cloud of smoke as a smile crept across his face.

"It is so lovely to see you again Genevieve," Arnez
smirked, admiring the massive billboard she graced in the
heart of Times Square. "We have so much catching up to
do, since the last time I saw you."

Arnez walked over to the plush white couch in the
center of the exotic wood floor and sat down before lifting
up his glass of Sassicaia, the great Italian wine off the
coffee table and taking a sip. He let out a deep sigh placing
his wine glass down and then picked up the manila folder
off the table. He opened it up and stared at the pictures
of Genevieve that the private investigator he hired had
given him earlier in the week. For the first time in months Arnez had a tangible lead on his prized target and he had
no intentions of letting her slip through his fingers.

"Yes, Genevieve, I believe our reunion is long
overdue," Arnez said, before depositing his ashes across
her face.

"Genesis, if we don't leave shortly we're going to miss
our flight."

"I understand that, but I have to wait here for this
delivery. Maybe it's best you go ahead without me. I can
take a flight out tonight or tomorrow morning."

"I don't want to take the flight without you. We'll
wait together." Coco turned away from Genesis as she
huffed, not wanting him to see her disdain.

"Finally!" Genesis said when he heard the doorbell.
He anxiously made his way to the front door. The FedEx
carrier greeted him with a smile and a pen as Genesis
signed for the priority overnight envelope. He had
practically ripped open the package before the door had
completely closed.

"What is that?" CoCo was beyond curious to know
what had Genesis' attention so occupied. And for that very
reason he either ignored CoCo's question or just didn't hear
it because whatever papers he was looking over had his
interest on lock.

"This is it! I was expecting so much more... fuck!"
Genesis roared, tossing the papers to the floor.

"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" CoCo
asked, trying to quickly pick up the papers just in case Genesis decided he immediately wanted them back.

"This private investigator I hired to find my sister
and mother said he came across some great information
for me. I'm thinking he was close to finding their
whereabouts but all this information is from over ten
years ago, when they were living in Charlotte, North
Carolina. This ain't no recent shit!"
