Challenge #156 - The Game is Afoot
It was the rumble of an engine that drew your attention from the folio of house designs you were perusing while enjoying the beautiful fall weather on the porch. Pulling up to your curb with the grace of a large cat, is a fire engine red GTO with black racing stripes. Sunlight gleamed off the muscle car like it had just come off of a showroom floor.
As you admire the curves and lines of the car, another sight to admire steps out. A deep red long coat snaps in the playful fall wind as he walks towards the steps. With the wind tugging at his dark hair, this mysterious stranger looks as if he stepped out of the pages of a graphic novel.
Up close, you note an interesting blend of Spanish and Chinese heritage in a handsome face. Surprisingly intense amber colored eyes study you, making it seem as if all your secrets are available for him to read. Noting the folio in your hand, he smiles, a roguishly charming smile. “Are you the architect?”
“Um, yes.” You give yourself a shake and stand up to shake his hand. “Yes, I am. You have a beautiful car.”
“Thank you. My adopted father and I restored it together. My name is Jesus Wu.”
“It's nice to meet you Mr Wu, Did we have an appointment?”
“No. I was hoping to make one or just talk to you in person. I need a house.”
You smile, “Everyone needs a house Mr Wu.”
“you could put that on a T-shirt.”
Now you grin, “I should do that. Do you want to sit out here and talk about your house? Or do you want to go inside?”
“Out here is fine. It's beautiful out.” He sits down. After fetching a pen and paper, he starts in. “I would like a house on a nice lot, with a great view and a little isolated. The furthest lot out on Redwood Parkway in Sunset Valley is a great example of what I want. Obviously I need a good garage for my GTO. I’d like a master bedroom with en suite bathroom. A hot tub. I work from home so I’d like an office.”
“What kind of work do you do Mr Wu?” you inquire, taking rapid notes.
“I’m a private detective. I travel a lot, so I will need a good security system. My friend Mike and Reggie like to visit, so I need a guest bedroom. I also need a full bath. I’d like open concept. I have enemies and I want to have clear line of sight in case someone follows me home. I fence, as well as dance and do martial arts. I need some place to work out and train.”
“All of those are very doable. Any preferences in style or design features?”
“Not really. I have kind of an eclectic style. Comfortable.”
“Sounds good. When do you need your new home?”
“When can you have it? I’m staying at a hotel right now.”
“2 weeks?”
He looks impressed. “2 weeks it is. Thanks.” He stands up to go.
“Oh! Mr Wu!
“Yes?”
“What is your budget?”
“75k.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
“Later.” He says, casually tossing a wave over his shoulder as he heads back to his car. You watch him climb in and start the car. As he pulls away from the curb, you note a dark car with tinted windows pull away and follow…

Mr. Jesus Wu is of Spanish and Chinese descent. He is very handsome and could possibly have even been a male model if he had chosen to be. He is a Leo who is both brave and athletic. He loves spying on people and the drama that comes with some of his private eye cases. Even though he is unique in looks, he is able to blend into the background on stake-outs by talking with females in the area. (He never has trouble getting dates.) He loves Latin music for the beat and the color red. His father's famous Dim Sum is his favorite dish. He is perceptive, charismatic, and has a star quality about him. His goal in life is to be an international spy!
