17th. November. Wednesday.Emily slide a file towards Lion as they sat in the interrogation room. "After this, I'm hoping you'll reconsider."Lion gave her a look of distaste. "I already told you that there's nothing you can tell me to make me betray my boss."Emily nodded. "Yeah. Was that why you killed Owen?"Lion scoffed. "Don't talk about that traitor in front of me. His death would have been much worse than that."Emily shook her head. "All these for your boss. Your allegiance is really incredible. Can you die for him?"Lion blanked into thoughts. "Die? Not sure, cause he won't let me die. I'm a die-hard follower of him, and he trusts me to the core.""Was that why he abandoned you?"Lion blinked. "He...needed to save himself."Emily nodded. "Hmm. Selfish of him." She pointed at the file she placed on the desk I'm front of him. "In this file, it showed how your boss killed your old partner because of a single mistake he made, and all the partners that came before you."Lion scoff

18th November. Thursday.Leo couldn't help but worry all through the day upon receiving information about his dad cooking a bad plan. It made him uneasy. He couldn't relax.Alexa could sense it. He was too around, and although she liked it, she knew there was a different reason."Relax, Leo. Pacing around makes me feel uneasy." Alexa told him.He looked at her, nodded, and sat beside her.Alexa looked at his feet and frowned seeing as he was tapping them. It made her wonder exactly what was going on. The behavior is sudden.Meanwhile, Emily was busy in her office thinking about the information she received from Leo. She was also disturbed by it.What is it that Mr. Renard Hodge hasn't done? What kind of bad plan is he trying to execute?It was so frustrating having no clue, and just sitting still, and doing nothing about it.She sighed, and slide her hand on her desk causing her cup of coffee to fall and splash on the ground. It gave her a bad vibe as she stared at the floor.A delive

Two days later. (20th. Nov. Saturday.)Emily couldn't stop crying as it was still unbelievable to her. It overwhelmed her completely.Phoebe was her friend long before Alexa even came into the picture. They all did things together. Everything without nothing aside. She was always there, but now, seeing her pale dead body wrapped that disrespectfully, it couldn't stop dawning on her that Phoebe is gone. She was mercilessly murdered.Audrey walked up to her with a sigh as she couldn't stop crying. She was given the day off, and hands off the case due to the emotions springing forth out of her.Audrey sat on her couch. "Emily, I can tell how much it hurts to lose a dear friend, but you have to man up. You need to be okay, so we can focus on bringing her death to justice."Emily looked at her, her eyes all red, and teary. "Tell me, how did she die? What's the autopsy result?""Um, you saw it yourself, her throat was slit.""That's all. No other harm on her? No sign of struggle?"Audrey sh

"I think I'm ready to know how you guys met," Leo informed, as he got on the bed.Alexa looked at him with a sad face. "It was a very long time ago. I was four. We were four."Leo nodded. "Okay.""Me, my mom, and dad went out on a family day when we almost ran them both over. They were scared to death, and they were very small, dehydrated, and unhealthy. They were pitiful. My mom wondered where they came from, but they couldn't answer because they were shaken up. Out of pity, my mom decided to help. We took them to a hospital, treated them well, and after that my mom called social services. In the end, we discovered the foster parents taking care of them were neglecting them. I was already loving them, they were my age, and I wanted them close. Since then, we kept tabs on them, my parents took care of them, I always visited them, and just like that, we grew up together as best friends."Leo nodded in understanding. "It's a really long story.""I summarized it, Leo.""I'm sorry again,

One week later. (29th. Nov. Monday.)Seeing the trailer upfront, Alexa matched her brake to stop her car from going further. She was surprised to see it didn't budge. She kept stepping on it, but it didn't work.Her eyes were wide in terror at the trailer still there, as she kept stepping on the brake.She frowned, her heart jolting. "What the hell? What the hell is happening?"Everything was dawning on her, and her chest rising up, and down in rapid breaths.Panic seized her brain, as she couldn't stop her car from moving."Oh my God!"She looked around in fear as she kept stepping. "No. No. No." But then her brows furrowed as it caught something... She furrowed her brows deeply at the sight. "What...what is he standing there doing?"She instinctively looked back at the trailer and screamed her guts out...Alexa's eyes opened, her chest breathing heavily. She blinked not knowing how to interpret the dream. It was the accident, she was sure, but seeing Leonard standing there was surre

"So she remembered?"Leo nodded feeling uneasy. "She did, and now she hates me."Emily sighed as he sat down restless. "She's going to be fine, Leonard. And the both of you will talk things out."Leonard didn't know what to reply, the only thing he wished for at the moment is her safety, and that of his babies, because he'll be at fault if anything happens to either of them. He won't be able to take it.The doctor came out of Alexa's ward, and towards them making them both stand up. "How's she doctor?"The doctor shook her head. "Not in a good state, Mr. Hodge.""What's wrong with her?" Emily asked."She's diagnosed with preeclampsia. Somehow she developed gestational hypertension."Leo blinked knowing he was at fault."So what happens next?""We're gonna have to perform a c-section on her, and don't worry, since she's up to thirty weeks, the babies will be fine." The doctor assured.Emily looked at Leo wondering what he should say about it."What about her? Is she going to be fine?"

For over an hour if not more, Leo has been impatiently waiting for the doctor, and nurses to come out. He was wondering what was going on inside, and how much longer it'll take for them to finish.He just wants good news. He's seriously longing for them.He immediately looked as the door opened. He stood up, and saw the doctor in green scrubs, a face mask, and riding an incubator towards him.Leo walked closer, his eyes fixated on the incubator. He sighed in relief, with a smile on his face as he looked at his babies. "Are they..."The doctor nodded. "They are, although for now, they need to be kept in NICU so as to get perfectly healthy."Leo looked at her. "How long?""Two weeks approximately.""Aren't they also gonna need like breast milk to survive?"The doctor nodded. "Yeah, but since your wife is in a coma...""Coma?""Yeah. She had seizures, but we've been able to calm her, so don't worry."Leo sighed and looked back at his babies. His brows furrowed. "Is it okay for them to sl

Leo stared at his mom's dead body, his heart filled with pain, tears snaking down from his eyes as he looked at her face he hasn't seen in a long time.He's trying hard to hold himself not to burst into crying, but it really hurts. He wanted to save his mom, not find her dead and tossed around.He shook his head, closing his eyes shut, while Emily tried to console him by touching, and rubbing his shoulder."I'm sorry for your loss, Leonard. This was...unexpected." Emily made it known.Leonard looked at her. "It seems like my dad has given up."Emily nodded. "His giving up doesn't seem to be a good thing. It's obvious before he gets caught, he wants to ruin your life."Leo sighed and looked back at his mom. He was so angry that all he could think of was getting revenge. He's gonna show him exactly what he's capable of.He looked at Emily. "Excuse me.""Where are you going?" Emily asked as he was leaving, but she didn't get a reply.She came out of the door. "Leo!!" But no reply.She si
