Lurking Around Much Harvey?

I managed to stay awake after that point.
That didn't mean that I was feeling better, oh, to the contrary.
It was just that my curiosity was far more stubborn now that Hatch had shape shifted in front of me.
Who could sleep after that! Come on.
Not me. Definitely. This guy was pretending to be me. And I wanted to watch.
So inch by careful inch. I pushed myself up to a sitting position where I could look through the bird's cages into the store beyond.
Of course, I wasn't always able to look through the glass. I may have been half delusional when Hatch gave his advice about the birds alerting me, but I did remember it. I mean come on. He'd somehow managed to communicate with the birds through whistling! If he said they'd alert me, oh, I was going to pay attention to them. Which meant, that whenever they started chirping and flying around the cage like a hurricane, I'd slide back down out of sight. Waiting for them to calm down again. Needless to say, I got covered by a ton of little feathers. For the hurricane around a lot. Like, whenever Harvey walked by. Which was ALOT! I never realized how much he lurked around in my department. I'd always thought that he'd spent all his time holed up in the back office, unless some sort of problem popped up. But no. I must just have the knack of going to go find him when he was in the office.
And don't get me wrong. He wasn't lurking in only the live animal section part of the store. He was all over the place. (Hey, at least he knows what's happening in his store, even if he's horrible at keeping cages clean) It just seems like he passed by the birds a lot.
Luckily, Hatch was right. Harvey hardly seemed to realize the birds were there. He barely glanced at them whenever he looked by. I had to admit, seeing this, if Harvey had gone on the search for me, I do think that he'd look everywhere else three times before thinking to check the birds.

But less about Harvey, and more about my Prince Charming.
This guy...was amazing. If I didn't know that it was him somehow, as impossible as it can be, was me. I would totally have thought that I was watching a video of myself. How did he know me so well?! How long had he just been 'around?' Around here watching me? Or was he watching others too? Had he been impersonating other people here in the store? Oh man, I was just going to get paranoid if I continued down that track. I would definitely be getting a more specific answer then 'around' next time he had a moment to spare from being me.
