conversatio n with
the private investigator, hopeful that he's made the right decision. With his
elbow on his desk, Colin props up his head with his left hand and sways it,
back and forth. He sits up straight again, and pictures Renee's face. He sees
her brown face fr amed by a shiny dark curly mane. Her hazel brown eyes stands out, and lights up when she smiles.
She's curvy, yet well toned, and fit. Colin licks his lips. He closes his eyes.
He imagines, and can feel Renee's lips on his own. "She is perfect."
He conclud es.
    "Where are you Renee?. . .Where are you?" Colin says out
loud. He leans back, and reclines completely into his chair again.

 
    CHAPTER 4
     
    "Seriously Melaine, who is this girl? Colin is NOT
himself in the least." Travis tells Melaine in
the emptied conference room following a meeting. Melaine clears her throat.
    "Travis, um...I...please don't keep asking me. It is
such a sensitive issue." Melaine forewarns him. "Just ride it out,
okay...I mean, he's Colin!" Melaine feels hopeless. She doesn't want to betray Renee, but she, Travis and Colin
have known each other for such a long time, and know everything about one
another. Melaine was married once, for two years. She married her college
sweetheart, during their senior year. Travis is mar ried,
but has cheated on his wife twice. They are trying to work things out. Now
Colin is seemingly going through a life change, and Melaine can't
tell Travis everything. She wants to protect Renee...she needs to protect
Renee.
    Colin isn't being forthcomi ng
either. Whenever Travis asks him what has stolen his thunder, he just says
things like, "My eyes have been opened", or "I didn't realize
what had truly become of me."
    "Melaine, what is with all the secrecy? It's like you
two don't trust me anymore. I th ought we three were
as thick as thieves!" Travis is determined to get to the bottom of the
situation.
    "Travis, I would love to fill you in but it is not my
story to tell. Plus there is an innocent party involved Travis. Please...please
don't press the iss ue any longer. Colin will snap out
of it. I promise!" Travis shakes his head.
    "I don't believe this...Ok, whatever Mel. I wouldn't
press the issue any further." Travis pushes his chair back, and stands.
"I hope you all know what you're doing." Travis marc hes out of the conference room.
    "I hope that we know what we're doing too Travis. I
hope that we do too." Melaine says aloud, into the empty conference room.
    ***
    Colin is very nervous. He sits in a rented black sedan across the street
from Renee's parent s home. Maurice had done a
phenomenal job, and located the address at her possible location in two days.
Colin sat on the information for about 12 hours. However, he grew very anxious,
and wanted to see for himself whether Renee was with her parents. It is the end of the week. Colin recognizes the silver sedan in
the drive way. It is the car that Renee got into when she tried to get away
from him that night he kissed her in the elevator. Colin remembers it, like it
was yesterday. He shakes his head, hoping to shake
the memory out of it. "I am sorry Renee." Colin murmurs. He looks at
the house again. "How will she react to me being here?" Colin
questions himself.
    "This is a bad idea Colin." Colin starts the car,
and drives off. "At least I know she's safe... That's
enough...right?" Colin verbalizes, trying to convince himself. Colin
drives through Renee's hometown. He takes in all the sights. He observes the
quaint ice cream shop, the general store, and boutique dress shops, among other
local stores. This visu al helps Colin to get to know
Renee better. He smiles. So this it the unique environment that
shaped her. Colin imagines.     
    He drives by an Inn, and the thought pops into his head to
get a room. Hmmm...I'm not sure how wise that would be . Colin rationa lizes. 
    He drives around some more, and back through the main
street of Oaktown. Colin finds himself back on Renee's street, and drives up
