Chapter 2

I walked down the narrow way that led to the crime scene, the downtown police officers might have gotten there before me.

I don't really know how I got here all I knew was that I got a call from my Superior saying that I should rush to downtown to solve a murder case.

I was really hoping I could get some sleep but the opportunity have been taken away from me.

My head was pounding nastily I have already taken a pain relief medicine but the head ache refused to leave me alone.

I didn't bring my car because I thought I might have an accident on the way, but now I regretted it,

I could hear the sound of gunshots but I couldn't detect where it was coming from.

I reached my hands inside my gun holster but groaned angrily my gun was not there, maybe I left it at home?

"Don't move," a voice said from behind me. What does he think? that I am a criminal? I was wearing a police uniform for God's sake.

I reached for my badge and snatched it out raising it up for him to see.

" I am a police officer," I said.

" I know, but I am arresting you. you are under arrest miss Julianne, " what happened? What have I done? Why does he want to arrest me.

" Why what did I do?" I asked him wanting to turn around more than anything else.

" My boss asked me to kidnap you!" He said making me sigh in relief, at least he is not a police officer, I was not ready to go to jail.

I felt his footsteps coming towards me.

I reached inside my gun holster knowing fully well that there was no gun, left for a short dagger.

I waited for him to come close before I wiped it out and sung the dagger at him.

" Shit!!!" He groaned as the sharp edge of the dagger connect with his waistline.

I turned for a fight.

We had been fighting for like three minutes and the guy was not ready to give up, he was a very skilled criminal.

Not that I was a rookie, we fought dangerously stabbing ourselves with dagger, I know that was wrong for a police woman but I have got no choice than to fight dirty with a criminal, for my freedom of course.

His men came to his aid after some time and I was outnumbered and overpowered, they bundled me up into the back of their van and zoom off.

I sat at the back of the car, chains tightly clutching to my hands it was hurting me, a nurse was sitting in front of me attending to my injuries.

" Can you please help me and loosen this chain? it is hurting me?" I asked the nurse who was kneeling in front of me.

" No" said the nurse. I shouldn't have asked.

The pain in my body has taken over I wasn't feeling the headache anymore, I got a lot of injuries from that fight, the idiot I was fighting was very skilled in martial arts and I wasn't.

She finished nursing my wounds and went to the other side of the van to sit.

We drove in silence for what seemed like an hour before the van pulled to a stop.

I don't know what they want from me, neither do I know where they were taking me to.

Thrown in to a prison like room except for the fact that the prison was cozy and the interior decoration was magnificent.

I admired the way the gently breeze blew the window cotton,

" Boss she is here!" The guy that brought me here said bowing slightly for an imaginary person that only him can see.

" You can leave us now," a voice said out of nowhere

I panicked.

" Do you remember me ?" The voice said.

" I have not even seen your face how then can I know who you are..?"

" Are you sure you want to see my face?" The voice said igniting the fear in the pit of my stomach.

I didn't reply instead I twirled the chain that was clutching onto my wrist.

A wave of a harsh breeze washed over my body... something or someone screamed loudly sending me flying out of my bed and down on the floor.

I groaned angrily smashing my hands against the bedside alarm that woke me up.

I was dripping with sweat, my uniform was drenched from the sweat.

It was just a dream, it was not real. I sighed in relief looking out from the window, it was getting really dark I have to get going.

I pick myself up from the floor and head to the bathroom to wash the sweat off from my body

Stepping out from the bathroom I felt some presence in the room, could someone have entered inside the room?

Probably not maybe it was the dream that I had, I was very sure that I bolted the door before sleeping so there is no way in the hell can someone come inside the room...

My phone went off on the bed with multiple messages. I picked it up and start reading two messages from Nelson asking me if I was going to the party today.

Another message from an unknown number.

I hope you slept well honey?

I smiled it was probably my husband Morgan, the phone rang with the same unknown number showing on the screen, I answered the phone.

" Hello?" I said.

" You look very beautiful in that red thong that you are wearing," the voice from the other end said. This is definitely not Morgan he is not like this, not that he was not romantic or anything he just... Never mind.

" Who is this and how did you know I was wearing a thong?"

" I am your admirer!"

" What do you mean by that?!" I asked.

" Will you be surprised if I told you that I know everything there's to know about you?" He said matter of fact. he was answering my questions with question two can play at this game.

" Will you be surprised if I tell you that I could track you down and get you arrested if you don't tell me who you are and what you want right now." I raised my voice more than necessary and feared that Stanley might burst into the room at any moment.

" I doubt that, no one else except for me knows who I am." His voice was calm and soothing... Sorry I didn't just say that!

" What do you want?" He was silent for a while before saying.

" Do you really want to know?"

"I deserved to know."I said apparently.

"You," he said with the most sexiest voice I had ever heard. "I want you!"

"Really?" I was beginning to get comfortable in this conversation with a total stranger.

" Yes, you are all I have ever wanted Julie!" He said wow a nice nickname, but I didn't dwell on the thought.

" I am sorry but it seems like you came a little too late because I am happily married to the great Mr Stanley Morgan." I said playing with my curly hair.

" When you said 'happily married' you lied," the stranger said.

" How can you tell when I am lying," I said smiling this is getting more interesting every seconds that passed by.

" Because you played with your hair whenever you lie and your eyebrows scrunch up slightly," that was.. how did he know that? even my husband does not have any clue about that!so how come?

Maybe there is a camera in this room, it was a prank.

" You must be a very close friend of mine," that is what it should be right? I pretended like I didn't know there was a hidde camera " Let me guess, Nelson right your game is over cause I have discovered you." I laughed he was laughing with me too.

" Look out of the window," I obeyed there in front of me was Nelson chatting with my husband and laughing.

" So who are you then?"

" I will tell you on your birthday." They said.

" That's like a whole ten months later. " I just had my fake birthday two weeks ago.

" Your real birthday, I will come for on the 10th of this month your birthdate and I am going to claim you..." He hesitated before saying  " Mine,"

I can't describe how I felt at that single word, where would I start from? Is it the million butterfly that I felt in my stomach? Or the tingling sensation below my stomach?

" ...For now," he continued, " I will say goodbye to you, my love," the butterfly in my stomach seemed to have grown in number.

My breathe cut in my throat as the line went dead.
