Cody I was so devastated when I heard that Snow was shot at the mall when she went to see my mother. I really shouldn't have let her go through with it. And now she's in a coma and I don't know when she'll wake up. I feel like this is all my fault. When Andre called me, he was talking so fast that I couldn't hear a word that he was saying. There were blaring siren noises in the background, I wondered what was going on. When I asked him to slow down and speak, I wasn't expecting to hear those dreadful words from his mouth. "You should come fast. Snow was meeting with your mother when all of a sudden there was a gunshot. The police haven't found the shooter yet. Come to the hospital quickly." I left my office as soon as I heard Andre. I didn't wait for anything. I headed straight to the hospital to see Snow, Sam came with me. We met Andre at the entrance and he told us that she was currently being operated on. I paced around for about four hours until the operation was done. One doct
Cody I was asleep when I heard the monitors beeping so fast. I wake up to check it, the short beeping sounds stop. The sound replacing the short beeps is a long beep sound. I check the monitors and I see that Snow's heartbeat has stopped. Then I rushed out and called the doctors and nurses that I found outside the hospital room. Lee jumps up in his seat and looks around frantically when he hears the bustling sound in the room as doctors and nurses rush into the room to check on Snow. He stayed with me last night and kept me company in Snow's hospital room. My heart started beating fast and it is still beating rapidly. I passed my hand through my hair, feeling all sorts of emotions that were overwhelming me. Tears threatening to spill at the thought of Snow being dead. I don't know what I'd do if I lose her. I can't lose Snow. The nurses let us go out so that they could have their space to check on Snow. I pace in the hallway. "Calm down Cody. Don't jump into conclusions just yet."
Snow I don't know how, but I woke up with my memories. I remembered everything. My past was no more a mystery to me. Everything just came to me. I was very happy about that. It sped up everything for the police as well. I remembered that I discovered five more warehouses during my investigations, including the main one, but I asked them to randomly raid two and leave the three warehouses. Their boss might get the hint and flee from the country. Parker and his officers raided them all and were able to catch the human traffickers. Kidnapped women and children were sent back home to their family safely. The forensic scientists assured them that they would soon recover the memories they lost since ZIP was being tested on them. Sadly some of them were being used as lab rats. But thankfully, they're all safe now. Cody was very happy for me. I was finally able to locate my parents' grave. I visited them almost everyday. I would have asked Aunt Nicolette or Uncle Jacque, but I wanted to find
Snow "Thank you for agreeing to babysit me. I don't like it when I go to granny's place." Miranda says. "Don't mention it. I want to spend the day with you because I miss you very much. And if you don't like going to your granny's place, we can always hang out." I smile at Miranda and she giggles in response. "What do you want to do today?" "I want to bake cookies." She replies. "You can bake cookies?" Miranda nods in response. "Wow. Maybe you can teach me." "Don't worry, I'll be a good teacher to you." She says and I smile. "Let me go to the kitchen and check if we have what we need, I'm not really good at cooking or baking, and I don't know what ingredients you'll use, so you'll have to help me here." Miranda nods and follows me into the kitchen. I open up every cabinet and help her check it. Then I also open the fridge for her to check what she'll need for her cookies. "We'll need more flour and sugar. And milk. Everything else will be enough." She says politely. "Okay. Let
Snow "I'm home!" "Andre's here!" Miranda screams, leaves her plate of cookies and runs to the living room. I roll my eyes, groaning, then I follow her to the living room. "How are you doing Miranda? I came to see you." He says to her. "I'm doing well Andre. Snow and I made cookies. Come have some." "You made the cookies or Snow did? I'm not eating anything she makes." "Hey! I'm right here." I yell at him but he ignores me. "We made it together. It's delicious, trust me." Miranda says, pulling him to the kitchen. I follow them back into the kitchen and find Andre eating my cookies. I glare at him before getting more cookies for myself and pouring myself a new glass of milk. "How did you even get in?" I ask Andre. "You gave me the passcode, remember?" I narrow my eyes at him. "Did I?" He winks at me in response. "Let's not argue like kids in front of Miranda." He opens up his bag and pulls out a pack of jelly beans. "For you Miranda." "Thanks Andre." She says politely. "I'l
Snow. Cody pulls back and rests his head against my forehead. "Are you trying to hide something from me Snow?" I hold my breath. "I'm not trying to hide anything from you Cody." "Then what are you not telling me? Please talk." He gazes at me. "You worry too much anytime I talk to you about what I'm going to do at work. About any plan Andre, Parker or I come up with." "I'm only looking out for you." He says to me. "You're already doing that. There are a lot of policemen hovering around me everywhere I go, and at home too. Honestly, I don't feel like we have privacy." "You think I'd let them do that?" "No." "I won't stop you from doing what you're going to do tomorrow or on any other day that you'll go out to work." I look up at him. "You're not just saying, are you?" "I'm not just saying it." He gives me an assuring smile. I pull him to the couch, sit him down and tell him our plan. "Kesha told Andre that the Boss usually goes to Matt's Coffee House every afternoon. He also
Snow "It's a beautiful Sunday, isn't it?" I say with a bright smile when Cody wakes up and gazes at me. "Mmm. It is when the first thing I see is your face." I giggle. “I was thinking that we've involved ourselves in our work so much that we don't have enough time to spend with each other. Don't you think so too?" "I agree, Snow. I've been thinking about taking you out on another date." He replies. "How about we go out and have fun today? I'll be taking you out." I tell him. "You'll be taking me out?" "Yes." I answer. "Sounds interesting. where are we going then?" "It's a surprise. Just put on your casual clothes and do your job looking handsome like you always do. I'll take care of the rest." "When did you come up with all this?" "It came to me when I woke up thirty minutes ago and stared at your charming face." "That's what you've been doing for thirty minutes?" "You'd do the same thing if you woke up early." I tease. "I won't lie. I like to stare at you while you're as
Cody I fall asleep during the ride and by the time I wake up, we have stopped. I find Snow sitting on the hood of her car, staring at the house in front of us. Biscuit was also playing with a dog from the neighbourhood. I take in the surroundings. We must be far from the city. There aren't a lot of houses around. A lot of trees are out here but most of the leaves have fallen and covered the ground. And there is a big lake behind the houses. The air that hits my face is cool and relaxing. I get out of the car and walk up to Snow. "Hey." "Hi. You’re up." Her face lights up when she sees me. She flashes me a soft smile. "How long has it been since we arrived?" I ask her. "About twenty minutes." "Why didn't you wake me up?" "You were sleeping peacefully. I didn't want to disturb you." "Right." I say and turn to face the building. "Who's lake house is this?" Snow jumps off the hood of the car and dusts her butt. "It's my parent's house. We used to live here." She answers. I observ
