Ms. Lee was throwing wary glances at Annette, Annette equally throwing hers. We sat there in silence enjoying the wonderful tea Ms. Lee prepared, it's fragrance, almost giving room for reality to fade away.
Annette cleared her throat, initiating the start o the conversation. "I would first like to say, I should have been more clear about my intentions, thus, I am sorry," she said.
I gave a nod, affirming that the matter needed no further consultation, then turned my head to face Ms. Lee. This time, I spoke first, "Where are we?"
Ms. Lee's wariness faded away for one second before quickly resurfacing once more. "We are at the church's underground headquarters," she responded.
"How did I get here... how did we get here?" I asked, trying not to leave Annette out of the conversation.
"I brought you here."
"I understand that, but how did you know when and where to find us?"
Before answering, her face contorted, clearly depicting restraint,"Uh..."
"She saw it," Annette blurted out, ultimately cutting Ms. Lee off.
Now, it was my turn for my face to portray emotion. It contorted into a look of confusion and wariness.
Annette began rambling, "That's what i wanted to show you! The're great things happening that you are unaware of. I wanted to share this wonderful gift..."
"Annette! Enough!," Ms. Lee said, fluidly cutting Annette off while turning to face me," but, indeed she is not wrong. I did see."
'What was Annette talking about, and what do they mean by she saw!' "Is that all your going to say," I decided to push more into it.
"Unless you join the church, that is all the information I can provide," Ms. Lee said assertively.
Not wanting to delve in the matters of the church, I moved on to the next thing on the agenda, "Why was I naked?"
Annette giggled softly, giving me mixed emotions.
"Hehe, well, again, I won't be able to fully explain on the matter until you join the church," Ms. Lee said.
"Don't churches focus on the principle of non-confidentiality so as to not receive criticism from radicalists," I openly pondered.
"Everyone keeps their fair share of secrets," she openly rebbattled.
"Either way, you didn't answer my question," I said, going back to my main objective.
"Okay, you were slightly injured and needed treatment," she responded clearly cutting out needed and important information.
'Only slightly injured, that can't be right, and Annette, she looks fine as well, and what's with it with the church.'
The conversation went on, delving much deeper than intended, but the only constant thing i got was that the churches withheld information. This fact was able to peek my interest, which allowed me an interview with one of the church's bishops.
Once my mind had finally relaxed, I was able to take in everything in a new light. Ms. Lee despite being older than me, held a high position on my beauty scale.
She has long silky black hair with a few red strands and a pink complexion. Her gaze originated 6'1 inches from the ground when standing and a few piercings populated her face.
Earlier when the conversation got heated, she removed her black robe which allowed me the grace of seeing her seasoned body. She had a tattoo of a giant gecko perched on her back , and surprisingly under the robe she dressed quite provocatively.
As time came for me to leave, Ms. Lee gave me some information to ponder on. "I once served you sweet tea, you absolutely detested it, so i served you bitter tea, which you loved."
