36:26 A Chase Encounter

Chapter 2 "I am so sorry, we lost her" The Doctor announced after he came out from Adeline's ward. Jayda could feel her chest sinking and thankfully Donnie was there to catch her from falling flat on the floor. "Oh my God," She said under her breath "Donnie, they lost her, What am I going to say to Brian? How am I going to tell him his mother is dead?" She was intentionally trying to conceal her pain.Tears welled up her eyes as Donnie pulled her into a tight hug. "I'm so sorry J," He said, stroking the length of her hair as she sniffled in silence. TWO YEARS LATER It's Lucy's fifth birthday party and their place was as usual crowded with children from the neighbourhood. It's an outdoor event in the front yard with round tables and chairs coupled with balloons and other decorations. Jay

Chapter 4Jayda looked out the window lost in her thoughts. She unconsciously wiped the steam that fogged the window. She's thinking about Brian for the umpteenth time today. All she wants to know is if he's doing well or alive and the thought of not knowing anything kills her.  She's also aware that if Brian wanted to be found he would have come back to the house. He knows where to find her unlike she who doesn't know where he is. Her mind also wandered to Lucy who is leaving for New York in a matter of days. Jayda had contemplated moving to New York but the obvious truth is that she can't afford to live in the luxurious city. It's bad enough she's spending so much on Lucy's tuition thanks to her life savings for saving the day, the best she can do is to lodge in a cheap hotel when visiting her daughter. On another note, Lucy leaving meant she'll have time for herself and who knows, maybe she can finall

Chapter 6 "OMG Mom!" Lucy said over the phone as Jayda walked into her living from outside. She'd been talking to the sheriff over last night's encounter with the other neighbours and the police department have assured the residents that there will be two patrol vehicle stationed in the area for the time being. "It's been taken care of so I don't think they'll be coming back," Jayda said as she made for the couch. "But still, you need to move out of that house" Lucy suggested. "You know I can't" "Why? Because it's grandma's house?" "That and the fact that your schooling needs all the finance I can get" "Well mom you don't need to overthink your pretty head about that because Keira and I got a part-time job to model for some app and the pay is a mouthful" "No no mo" Jayda immediately opposed the idea. "

Chapter 8"Where's the new commercial clip?" Brian said while flipping through the pages of the folder in his hand. "We are yet to shortlist the candidates.." The fidgeting thirty-something years old creative director managed to say even amid stammer. People working under Brian always find talking to him intimidating and somewhat scary. It's hard to share the same space with his arrogant and rude attitude. "You're fired," He said without flinching. "Sir?" She questioned in disbelief. "Are you deaf? I said you're fired! I can't have incompetent people working in my company" he didn't look at the poor lady, not even as little as a wink. Just as soon as she walked out of his office, Khloé walks in majestically while strutting her curves in the perfect motion. "Hey baby" she greeted before taking her seat. 

Chapter 10Both girls screamed out of the ChaseApp building after being among the five models picked for the commercial that was later said would continue during the final casting. "Do you think if the President was seated, we would have been given the spot? I mean, considering what happened in the morning" "We didn't do anything wrong! What makes you think we did? We were just talking. He seriously can't be that bad" "Have you heard of this man!" They both walked down the walkway to catch the bus heading their way.********"There's something I need to tell you," Shawn said, as he arrived with Jayda under her porch. "Some time ago before I met you, I had plans of transferring to NYPD for the sake of my daughter so that I can be close to her instead of having her travel down here once a while" He paused a bit before con
