The smoke was gone but the smell of it was still in the room.

I sat on the edge of Maya's bed with my arm around her, her head resting against my shoulder.

She had stopped coughing but her breathing was still uneven, catching slightly every few seconds. I kept my arm firm around her and did not move.

"Nothing is going to happen to you," I told her. "I promise."

Maya did not say anything for a moment. Then she turned her face slightly toward me. "You are shaking, mom l."

I looked down at my han

    “Shit!” he cursed as I smashed his face on the wall.“Lock him up. I'll be with you in a minute,” I said to the leader of my team and he gave a brave nod, seizing the attacker as I left the room.They did a great job bringing him safely to this private location. This room was specifically built for cases like this. I couldn't be happier with the news of catching him red-handed.It felt like I was on top of the world. I widened my arms to the sky, believing someone up there gave courage to my men to get the work done smoothly and smartly.After some moments, I returned to the room. The members of the team were armed and ready to smash his skull on the ground if he tried to make any silly move, while the leader of the team stood in front of him, sitting on a chair.He stood up as soon as he saw me walk in, and I gave a soft smile at the way his face was filled with expressions of disappointment and failure. He believed he was the smartest person on the surface of the earth and thought E

    My phone beeped with a message notification. I picked it up and clicked on the message. It was from my team.“Yes. Ready.” The text read.I heaved a deep breath and found Elena's contact to inform her about the most recent update.“The plan is now ready,” I texted. “And you are the bait. Don't be so far from your phone. I'm gonna give you a ring in a short time.”As soon as the text message got delivered, I quickly rechecked the plan I already made with my team. I reviewed every detail of the plan to be sure there were no lapses that could result in the failure of the mission.Elena must be holding her phone dearly, probably leaning on the walls of the living room, or maybe in the room together with Maya, but if that was the case, she definitely would have locked the door to the room. I couldn't totally kick fear out of her mind last night, not even when Adrian thought it was the best time to interfere.After careful review of the plan and assurance from my team to go ahead and kickst

    It was around 10 pm when the attacker appeared out of the blue, standing a few kilometres away from Elena's apartment. A grim smirk spread across his lips as he observed every movement, waiting for the most vulnerable moment.He scoffed at the number of security guards deployed to keep Elena safe in the apartment. Even though they could obstruct his plans for the night, he knew they couldn't do that for long.Hiding in the shadows and watching from a distance, his focus returning to the security guards, he spotted Dominic walking out of the apartment. He stayed glued to the spot to ensure he didn't return to the room.Perhaps Dominic knew someone was watching him and was trying to play games with him. Even though the attacker believed Dominic wasn't so smart to do that, he wasn't ready to take chances that could hand him directly to his foes.His gaze followed every step Dominic took, and until he was out of sight, he didn't stop watching him. With a gentle nod, he walked back into th

    My eyes stayed closed but my mind was active. Even though there was no sign of danger in the environment I was in, anxiety still found a way to mess with my mind. I got out of the seat in the living room and walked outside to enjoy the beauty of the clouds, hoping it would somehow solve the anxiety.It did, but not in the way I expected.Elena was the one who came to my mind as soon as I was about to enter the living room. She must be the reason why my mind has been anxious for a while now. I sat at the arms of the chair, negotiating with my mind as the tick of the clock continued to move.I carefully stood up and walked outside, locking my door and heading towards Elena's apartment real quick. It felt like my mind had been waiting for me for a while to take the first move, because we both didn't believe Elena was safe and sound.Different scenarios popped into my mind as I journeyed towards her apartment, and I continued fighting each of them, discrediting them to keep my mind sane.

    As soon as I stepped into my study, I turned on the lights as every item in the room came into my view. I heaved a deep breath and walked further towards my seat, dropping on it with a relieving breath.I grabbed a book and flipped the pages to the current page I was reading before I left here, but before I could read one sentence, my phone gave a shrill ring. I quickly pulled it out of my pocket and my mind went blank when I saw the name of the caller.Elena.“Elena,” I said as I took the call. Immediately I heard how her voice shook with fear, I could tell something strange had started happening again.“I received a text message,” she said, trying to keep her voice composed. “It came from an unknown contact. I got threatened.”I got up from the chair as soon as she mentioned those words, glancing at my wristwatch to distract my mind from entering a state of panic. “What exactly did the person say?”“They asked me to stop digging, else I would find out,” she said, heaving a deep brea

    I crashed onto the sofa, exhaling a deep breath as my eyes closed gently. I needed so much rest after the long day at work today. Hovering at the doorstep of the room where Linda was being treated was one of the major tasks that demanded my energy for the day, and I couldn't afford to walk away.Even though my eyes stayed closed, the memories didn't stop coming. Every statement uttered from one doctor to another, and from one passerby to another, and most importantly, Dominic's thick voice, they all returned to my mind as though they wished I could be back to that exact moment.Dominic hasn't been able to arrive at a conclusion since we found out the truth. He strongly opposed the fact that Linda could be innocent, and now that he has found out, he must be battling with his mind.Maya's name quickly interrupted my thoughts as my eyes snapped open. I jerked to my feet and quickly went inside to check on her. I gently opened the door and then spotted her on the bed. She was fast asleep.

    I was at the hospital by seven thirty.Not because my shift started that early. It started at nine. But the apartment had felt too small that morning and Maya had still been asleep and I had not wanted to sit at the kitchen table with my thoughts for another hour and a half, so I had dressed quiet

    The drive back was quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet that sometimes settled between Elena and me after a long evening. This was the kind that had weight to it. She was sitting in the passenger seat with her face turned toward the window and her bag in her lap and her hands folded over it,

    The three of us were standing in a triangle and the space between us felt very small.The sponsor had already quietly removed himself, which I was grateful for, because the tension coming off both Adrian and Dominic was enough to manage without adding a third person to it. Around us the party cont

    The dinner was at the Meridian, which meant the usual crowd.Old money and new money in the same room, pretending they had always been comfortable with each other. Hospital directors and research heads sitting alongside the kind of businessmen who wrote cheques large enough to put their names on b
