“Yes, Your Majesty. Your husband explained everything. I understand my duties and I am prepared to carry them out.” Agent Barlena answered with a grand bow to his queen.
He would eat those words.
The news was playing at a low almost indiscriminate chatter level of volume. Owen was having a cup of coffee and browsing his favorite app, Twitter, on his phone. Something made him frown. Some word that floated to him from the TV screen. He looked up from his phone and reached for the remote to increase the volume.
He watched the morning news crew discuss the shenanigans of his daughter, the princess. The news crew were gathered together on a comfortable looking couch, gripping coffee mugs not unlike his own, and gossiping...about his daughter. She had apparently attended a concert with her friends from school and documented the nights festivities on Snapchat. On screen was a map graphic that tracked Celeste’s whereabouts throughout the evening accompanied by pictures snapped at those points.
Owen calmly watched the broadcast through to the end before he shut the television off. He pushed himself up from the couch and sought his wife in the kitchen. He put his mug down on the counter to announce himself but remained silent for a few moments as he thought about how he could manage to speak without yelling.
“You wouldn’t believe what I just saw on the news.” He said with more than enough aggression in his voice to demonstrate he wasn’t pleased. “Your daughter -” he paused. His phone was still in his hand so he unlocked he screen and searched in his contacts for Celeste’s name. He could have gone to her room to wake her up but somehow this seemed better. When it started ringing he continued.
“She had quite the night. Celeste was on the news Julianna. That obnoxious gossip couch segment they do. You know the one.” He set the phone down, having forgotten for a second that he dialed his daughter. H
“They had infographics on her! An interactive map of her whereabouts!” His hands flew up trying to paint a picture of the map he saw. He was just pointing at various spots in the air. “Pictures from Snapchat. All of her friends have been I.D.’d. All from Snapchat. Her location services were on and there were plenty of public posts of her, as well.”
He stopped and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Where the fuck was he?”
He took a deep breath in through his nose. "They had her full outfit broken down. I just -" He waved his hand. "How does this happen?"
He would eat those words.
