Amelia's POV It had not been so long since I slept before I started hearing voices in my sleep. Seriously, who was disturbing my sleep? I almost cussed out. I tried to block out the voices but they didn't seem to be going away. Like that wasn't enough, I started hearing footsteps as well and I opened my eyes in anger. I looked around and realized where I was. I looked around in the direction of the footsteps and saw the back of a person. A male to be precise. And I know this much. That would be William, so I tried to call out to him. "Wi- William?", I stammered. I haven't gotten used to calling his name out loud, moreover to him. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me with a frown. "I see you are awake", he said, still frowning. I went silent for a while before I talked as calmly as I could. "I have to talk to you," I said and I could see that he was quite taken aback. He stared at me for a while before walking towards me. Now, I am surprised. I composed mys
William's POV I frowned at her and she frowned right back. Well, that's the least of my problems right now. "We need to talk", I said to her and she chuckled which earned a frown on my face again. "I believe we just did", she replied and I got confused. "Or did we not?", she asked, placing her hand beneath her chin and I placed my hands inside my pocket. "Oh, we did. Not long ago, in that living room", she almost shouted as she kept her hands down and her frown deepened. "Anyways, we need to talk", I said again. It's not like I care about all her fuming and all. I just want to talk about something, that's all. "Why would I want to talk to you?", she asked with a frown, placing her arms on her stomach and I sighed. "We are both going to gain from this, stop acting like a child", I replied and she scoffed. I could see the hurt in her eyes. Was I that harsh to her? "Oh, I am the one acting like a child now?", she asked again and I sighed again. "No, but I did not act like a ch
Amelia's POV When he told me he wanted me to get Bob for him, I felt so down. How would I expose a person from the trio squad? We are there to protect ourselves from the people outside not to rat each other out. What if somebody finds out that I was the one who had made Bob's location to be known? It would be really hard and uncomfortable for me to live in a trio squad. I had tried to reject the idea, I mean why would I tell him where Bob is? Well, not until he had asked about me being at the organization. I was dumbfounded. My parents and brother. That's why I was there. He even offered to help me with finding them. I thought about what Joanna said about asking him for help. This is not even asking him for help, he is offering to. Well, he is asking for something in return as well; Bob's location. I thought about it for a while before raising my head to look at him. I have to find the person who murdered my parents. I have to. It's the reason why I have been alive all these yea
Willaim's POV I saw Ame- Amelia come out of the kitchen. She was about to talk when I had a high-pitched voice calling my name behind me. Oh, I know that voice and I have not heard it for a long time now. Mia. I turned to look at her in surprise and no doubt, I was surprised Leo came with her as well. I turned back to look at Amelia and I saw her taking her purse. I was about to talk when I heard Mia's footsteps behind me. Oh God! "William! I have been calling you for a while", she whined and I just rolled my eyes. Mia took her seat on one of the dining chairs; the one on my right to be precise and Leo walked over as well. I turned my head back to look for her. She might have gone to the sitting room to give us someplace but I did not see her anywhere in the sitting room. She was gone. The door confirmed my thoughts as it closed steadily. My lips slanted a bit and I turned to face Mia and Leo back. "Yo man!", Leo greeted, stretching his knuckles towards me and I met him wi
Amelia's POV I walked the remaining path to the trio squad from where the cab had dropped me quickly. Now that I think about it, why did I leave that place quickly? I saw William trying to say something but does it even matter? I sighed as I kept on walking and my mind played all that had happened this afternoon. I got to my tent and I met Joanna already waiting for me. "Hey-", she had not even let me finish before she pulled me and rushed me into my tent. "Tell me how it went!", she shouted anxiously with wide sparkly eyes immediately after we sat down. I placed my purse down and sighed. I picked up my black rubber band and used it to pack my hair into a ponytail. I looked back at Joanna and she was frowning, I laughed and she hit me playfully on the arm. "Just tell me already! Please?", she said with puppy eyes and I snorted at her words. She frowned again and I quickly raised my arms. "Okay, okay, give me a second", I said and she sighed. "I did not go to see him-"
William's POV "We are here boss", I heard Scott say and my eyes flew open. I stared out of the window and truly we were at the trio squad or let me say the trio squad was in front of us. I looked at the various colors of the tent that was still a little bit far away from where we were and I frowned. I knew Scott was looking at me through the mirror and I glared right at it. I caught his eyes on me and he quickly took his gaze off the mirror. "You do not like your job, Scott", I said with a frown. I haven't said his name out loud in a long time. He did not reply but I did felt the car moving again. In a minute, we had arrived there and Scott parked the car on side of the full of potholes road. I looked around for a bit and I could see the weird look people were giving the car. Some did not even care as they sat on benches and smoked cigarettes, and some were drinking as well. I sighed before getting down of the car and Scott followed after me quickly. I walked down the ro
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... Amelia's POV I went out of my tent and sighed as I got out. I need to get a job. I am dressed in a tank top and black jean trousers with my black Snickers. I need some air first though. I walked down the road, away from the trio squad. I sat down on a bench and watched the kids playing in the park just beside the road to the main city. I used to do this as well when I was young, together with my parents and brother on Sunday afternoons. I do not want to think about all these right now. I stood up with my hands in my pocket and went into the small grocery store just beside the road to the trio squad. I got out with a small bottle of coke in my hand and I sipped as I walked. A black Mazda car stopped in front of me and I stopped moving abruptly. A man got out of the driver's side and I became confused. Where have I seen this man before? "Thank goodness you are out here, I can't go in there", he said with a groan as he pointed in a direction. I traced h
Amelia's POV I can feel my tongue tied in my mouth. Is he going to fire Mary? I mean, she has been working here for seven years, would he just fire her like that? "You are back", I heard Mary's joyous voice from beside me and I looked at her in surprise. What is she doing? "Mmm", William hummed as a reply and I looked at him as well... in shock. Okay, what's going on? I am very confused right now. Is he angry or not? Cause I am sure he just hummed as a reply. "Would you please excuse us, Mary? I have to talk to Amelia about something", he said while staring at me and Mary nodded. "Okay, I will go and cook dinner then", she replied, standing up and soon 'escaped' into the kitchen. I looked up at William who had just watched Mary leave and I asked. "You are not angry? At all?", I asked and he turned to face me abruptly. "About what?", he asked back, like he was oblivious to what has just happened. "Mary telling me about you?", I asked back. Like was that not the obvious thin
