Chapter 57 – UNSTEADY (Ansel Conrad POV) pt.5
"You have to see this," Angela comes into my office, her ipad in her hand, eyes wide and full of panic. Listening to her my heart lurches when I hear the erratic beat of hers. "Taylor has a helper," she says just before coming to stand at my side behind the desk.
My eyes widen in surprise. "Wait!" I push away from my desk now fully attentive to Angela and the ipad she treated as a little child. "You found Taylor?"
Frowning Angela gives me an evil glare for two seconds. "Are you insinuating that I couldn't find the little heathen?" she asks hurt, or maybe it's mock hurt.
No time for games I keep my face blank and Angela drops the direction she was going.
"I... spotted Taylor, but she doesn't look like Taylor at all," she turns and puts the ipad on my desk. Eyes wide, I stare at the grainy shot of two people, neither looking like the girl I recalled.
With too much makeup, dark raccoon-like shadow around the eyes, and longer lashes, Angela points to the blonde, "that is Taylor." I look at the picture again in raw disbelief. Is Angela going blind?
"Angie..." she shakes her head.
"No, it's her Ansel. My computer program isn't looking for hair color and such. Those things are changeable but in the time frame Taylor can change her hair color and length, get colored contacts, add that fake beauty mark, and use makeup to elongate her features. But that's all. My program is looking at the actual corners of her nose, lips, eyes, everything that is under the caked icing she's plastered on her face."
Still dubious I glance at the picture again. "I went through a few old videos I had and also added the way she walked, her gait and facial expressions. She hasn't had enough time to change those things Ansel."
"That is Taylor, but it's the girl next to her I'm unsure about."
Angela had talent but again, I could not believe that the person she said was Taylor actually was Taylor.
"I'm not trying to say that you are wrong but..."
"I've been working on a program," Angela says avoiding my eyes and going to sit on the opposite side of my desk. She was hiding something. Before you say anything I want you to know that I know that what I created is dangerous and that outside of right now and you, no one – not even Courtney – knows I've been working on his.
