Simon looked at the screen for a few seconds and still didn’t see what it was that Steve was staring at.

“What are you seeing?” Simon asked.

Hillary shook her head and said, “We’ve been looking at that video for the past fifteen minutes, and we didn’t’ find anything.”

“There is an inscription at the base of that video; can you get someone to check that out?” Steve asked Hillary, pointing at the screen.

Hillary looked in the direction he pointed, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion just before her eyes widened in shock.

She snapped her finger and addressed the room, “I want everyone to check out the video on the fifth minute; it’s at the tail end of the video.”

While the team got to work, Simon turned to Steve, his right eye squinted at him.

“What?” Steve asked.

“How did you find that?” Simon asked.

“You’ve got my eagle eye to thank; in forensics, you’ve got to have an eye to catch things people don’t see,” Steve winked at him.

“Oh, please,” Simon murmured, waving his hand at him in dis

    “Anna, what are you talking about?” Clayton asked, smiling nervously as he looked from Michael to her.“Hello, Mr.?” Anna said, trailing off as she extended her hand to the client.Michael coughed slightly and introduced, “Mr. Harry, this is Anna Howard, known as Vectra within the industry. Anna, this is Mr. Harry Connor, CEO, Connor Media.”Anna smiled, keeping her hand stretched as she said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Connor.”Connor smiled in response and took her hand as he replied, “Hello Vectra, it’s an honor to meet you. I had no idea you were the one working on the issue. I guess you’re also the one behind the resolution.”“Well, you could call it a teamwork,” Anna responded, glancing at Nancy.“I don’t know what deal you want to make with me, but I already scheduled a meeting with the Parker group,” Connor responded.“Oh, I’m sure if you take ten minutes of your time to meet with me, you won’t regret it,” Anna responded.The room was quiet for a few seconds as Connor thought

    Simon pulled Anna into the hall, bolting the door behind them.They were standing alone in the long hallway, staring at each other. Everything seems to fall away as they become only conscious of each other.“What the h*ll do you think you are doing?” Anna snapped at him.“You tell me; looks like you really are back to make me miserable,” Simon stated.“I am going to make you miserable, Simon,” Anna shouted.Simon paced, flipping a hand through his hair as he turned back to her and asked, “Why Michael?”“That is none of your f*cking business, Parker!” Anna snapped, folding her hand on her chest.“Yes, it is, if you insist on staying back in town. If you keep this up, the media is going to get interested, and soon it will be everywhere that you were once married to me!” Simon exclaimed.“And why should I give a damn about that?” Anna asked, her left brow raised in“For f*ck sake, Anna, don’t play dumb with me. We both know why you are back in town. Are you trying to use Michael to taunt

    “William what are you looking at I asked if you know anything about what Steve just said?” Simon called out again.William looked up from his phone and replied, “Hmm, sorry, I was not following. What is wrong?”“Sophia said there is a flyer going around with little Mia’s picture on it. Who authorized the dissemination of the program flyer without my knowledge?” Simon asked.“Hmm, we didn’t make use of little Mia’s picture, and I was going to show you a sample of the design once we got back to the office. I’m not sure how there is a flyer going out already,” William explained.Simon turned to Steve and said, “Tell Sophia not to worry; I’ll sort things out.”Steve spoke with Sophia for another two minutes before finally ending the call.“She is not really concerned that you used little Mia’s picture; she just wanted to know if you were the one who authorized it since she knows how careful you are bringing family into work,” Steve explained.“William, ask the marketing team; I want to kn

    “F*ck!! Why does everything have to fall apart simply because she is in town?” Simon said in frustration.“Which is why the fact that Anna is working with the Gary group puts us at a great disadvantage,” Noah stated.Simon’s eyes hardened as he replied, “I know, but how can the Crawford Foundation do this to us? We have been partners for the last ten years, and now they are willing to open our spot simply because Anna is in town?”“As head of operations, I can tell you it’s going to impact our operations significantly if we do not get the Crawford grant this year. I’m sure we can survive without it, but it’s going to be on a very tight rope,” Noah stated, sitting down on one of the couches.“We can survive without them, but having their name as one of our clients is also an advantage beyond the money they invest,” Simon muttered, rubbing his temple.He could feel the onset of a headache as he thought about it. Then his mind drifted to his encounter with Anna a few hours ago.I am going

    William looked from Simon to the book in front of him, his brows furrowed.“Were you not talking about the location?” William asked.Simon raised his left brow at him in question as he responded, “What location are you talking about?”“The one you asked me to find out about. I thought that was what you were talking about.” William asked.“No, I was talking about…” Simon replied, then trailed off before adding, “What about the location?”“Humm, I got a report on that, but I’m not absolutely sure it is correct,” William muttered.“Where exactly is it?” Simon asked.“It’s in your estate, which is strange, because I have not heard any report of anyone moving in there newly,” William said.“You mean my estate, where my house is?” Simon asked.“Yes,” William muttered.“Okay, figure out the number of the house and get back to me, but for now, there is something more serious we need to focus on,” Simon stated, brushing a hand through his hair.He started to pace again, his father’s words goin

    Nancy had her back to Anna so she could not see the reaction on her face.“I’m going to get to the bottom of this, and I am not going to spare whoever stands in my way.” Anna said, staring at Nancy’s back.Without another word, Nancy opened the door and walked away, leaving Anna in thought.There was more at play than she had imagined, and it seems she would have to take further steps to find out.The rest of the day moved by so fast that it was time to head back to the house.“Anna, I need to go somewhere; you and Nat head home, and tell Mom I’ll be home later,” Clayton said as they walked towards the door down in the lobby.“Okay, see you around,” Anna replied.In no time they were at the house, and the sun was setting when Anna walked through the door.“Mom!” Jasmine shouted in excitement.“How are you, my love?” Anna grinned as she picked her up and turned her around in the air.Jasmine grinned, throwing her head back and laughing out loud as Anna turned her in the air.“You’re go

    “Can we not do this?” Sophia said to Mia, who was busy scattering a set of tissues in the car.“Mia, listen to your mom,” Steve said, looking at her through the rearview mirror.It was a family dinner night, and it was at the Parker family house. Sophia smiled at him as she finally took the tissue from Mia.“Grandma!” Little Mia shouted as they walked through the door a few seconds later.“That’s my little girl,” Mia grinned as little Mia ran into her arms.“I didn’t think you guys were going to make it down,” Noah said, smiling.“Of course we will; I won’t hear the end of it if we don’t,” Steve said as he shook Noah’s hand.“I can hear that from here,” Sophia called behind them.“Reminds me of someone I know,” Noah replied with a wink, looking from Steve to his wife, Mia.“The Parker women do have something in common,” Steve responded.“Hmm, hmm, which is why you fell in love with us,” Mia called out.They all laughed as they made their way to the garden at the back of the house.“I

    The next day, Anna rolled out of bed, feeling like she had run a marathon throughout the night.She remembered Loveth giving a vague answer to her question about knowing Clayton's whereabouts.“Anna? Don’t tell me you are still in bed,” Nat called out as she opened Anna’s door and walked in.“What time is it?” Anna askedNat walked over to the window and pulled open the blinds, casting the room in the glow of the morning sun.Anna squinted against the ray and asked, “What time is it?”“It’s nine in the morning; at first I thought you were going to get a little more sleep past your usual time,” Nat replied.“What?” Anna asked, trying to stand up.“Yes, my love, are you sure you didn’t take more than the wine you had last night?” Nat asked, folding her hand on her chest.“No, hmm, did Clayton return last night?” Anna asked.“I don’t know; I didn’t stay up waiting for him either,” Nat replied.Anna stood up and felt her body pulled back down as she sat back on the bed.“Are you alright?”

    When the driver pulled up in front of the Parker Learning Center that morning, the triplets had a determined look on their faces.Around them, other children were eagerly walking into the building with the wide-open door. Their backpacks slung over their shoulders, they chatted excitedly with friends. The triplets quickly hopped out of the car, hurrying towards the door."Wait a minute." Loveth called out, stopping them in their tracks."Grandma, you already said goodbye in the car." James reminded her."I know, but I have not done this," Loveth stated as she kissed their head."Can we go now?" Jayden asked."Yes, and you have a nice day," Loveth called out to them as they walked away."We will," Jasmine responded over her shoulder."What's in that bag?" Loveth shouted, noticing Jayden's bag was a little bigger than the rest."It's my book and toy for the class," Jayden shouted in response, his lips lifting into a grin.Before Loveth could ask more, they were already at the door, so s

    Anna had a satisfied smile on her face as she stared at the documents in front of her.“What is it about?” Nat asked, her eyes twinkling with interest at Anna’s expression.“Looks like I just got my hand on a very confidential bid,” Anna replied.“I knew it was going to be something like that.” Clayton stated.“Why do you think it’s confidential?” Nat asked.“Well, because the recipient has been the beneficiary for a couple of years now, but now it’s up for a bid,” Anna explained as she glanced at the name on the file again.“And who is this recipient that is suddenly losing this bid?” Nat asked, her eyes narrowed in suspicion.“I think I know who it is.” Clayton murmured, looking at Anna in suspicion too.“Who?” Nat asked.“That should be the Parker group.” Clayton stated.Nat’s eyes turned to Anna quickly as she asked, “Are you serious?”“Yes, he is,” Anna responded.“Why would they be letting go of the Parker and putting it up for a bid?” Nat asked in shock.It didn’t take much to

    Simon stared at the flash drive, his eyes narrowed in question as he asked, “What answer?”“I finally have the pinpoint location of the attacker.” Steve replied.“Really? That was so fast,” Simon said.“I think the location would be more surprising; you should have a look,” Steve answered, handing the drive over to him.As they spoke, William’s phone vibrated in his pocket, and he stepped to the side of the office to check what the content of the text he got was about.“Where is the location?” Simon asked Steve.“You should see it yourself, because I’m still surprised also,” Steve replied.He walked over to Simon’s desk, stepping around it to stand behind his seat as Simon inserted the drive into his laptop and opened the file on it. There were a lot of things to sort through, but Steve navigated to the map and opened it.“Is that it?” Simon asked, his hand pointing to the red dot on the screen.“Yes,” Steve nodded.Simon stared at the name on the map for a few seconds before his eyes

    At the Howard house, Nancy walked into the house in the early hours of the morning, her eyes bloodshot.“Nancy? Where were you all night?” Cordelia asked, trying to keep her voice low.“I was out, where else? I’m heading up to my room,” Nancy responded, trading up the stairs.“Do you want your father to get pissed with you? Does he have to worry about you doing something stupid?” Cordelia asked in concern, following her up.Nancy chuckled, shaking her head as she replied over her shoulder, “You don’t need to worry about me.”“But your actions say otherwise, Nancy? Did something else happen at work?” Cordelia asked.Nancy got to her door, pulled it open, and walked in, dropping her bag on the floor as she fell into bed.“Something did happen.” Cordelia stared at Nancy’s silence.“Can we talk about this later, Mom? I’m fr*aking tired and need some sleep.” Nancy responded, her voice muffled by the bed.“Won’t you go to work?” Cordelia asked.“I took the day off,” Nancy replied.“What hap

    By the time Anna got to the office, there was a kind of ease about her that even Nat noticed. Clayton was not on the seat as Anna passed by his table.“Anna?” Nat called as she walked into the office.“Yes? Did anything unusual happen while I was away?” Anna asked.“No, nothing. I’m just glad to see you looking calmer than you did yesterday and this morning.” Nat responded.“Yeah, I guess so,” Anna mumbled.Anna dropped her bag on her table, pulled out her chair, and sat down. She felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders.“Anna? Where did you go?” Clayton asked, coming into the room.“Should I not be asking you that same question?” Anna asked.“But I…” Clayton started to say.“Why don’t we get back to work?” Anna asked, smiling at them warmly.“I know there is something hidden behind that smile.” Clayton defended.“Did you find out anything about the envelope you gave to me?” Anna asked, changing the topic.“No, I told you he didn’t say anything to me.

Alex asked, noticing the hesitation on her face.Anna looked at Shelly, patting her hand as she said, "If I am going to do this, you need to follow my lead.""You don't want to help us?" Adam asked, his eyes clouded with confusion."Ms. Howard, I know you must have reservations, but this is a murder case, and we need to take extra caution." Alex responded.Anna sighed, placed her elbow on the desk as she explained, "No, that's not what I mean. I know that you need my testimony to make sense of what happened that night.

    Anna wriggled her hand, uncomfortable, but she knew there was no turning back from this. She had made a promise to herself to face this head-on, no matter how difficult it may be.

    “Did something else happen?” Noah asked, watching Simon.His eye that had been close to calm was now storming with fury as he cursed under his breath.“Gideon is flying back to the country! For f*ck's sake, did he learn nothing about business diplomacy? He is leaving all that sh*t there and flying back?” Simon stated, his voice hardened in anger.“What do you mean he learned nothing? There is probably nothing else he could do about the situation.” Paul defended.“You know that’s not true; we all bloody know that is not f*king true!” Simon snapped.“Don’t you dare curse at me, Simon!” Paul shouted at him.“For the life of me, how dense can Gideon be?
