Electra rises from the floor as she hears the door push over the bell. Her very archaic alert system, but it works fine.

She stands and dusts herself, wiping her greasy hands on a napkin.

Her lips spread into a friendly smile as she sees Irene walk in.

“Hey.” She says in greeting.

Irene smiles back at her shyly.

“Here for Nikas? I hear they moved the court date forward.” Electra says.

“Yes, they did.”

“You think that's a good thing?” Electra asks, trying to strike a conversation with I

    “Catch me!” She yells, giggling as she makes a run for it. Her feet dig into the wet beach sand, leaving prints behind her.She looks back. He's close, gaining on her, his arm stretched out for her. She laughs harder and pushes harder Mirth fills the air as she tries to avoid being caught. She runs for a while, then stops to look behind again. He's not following. She furrows her brows. Why is he not chasing her?She begins to run back towards him, leaving the laughter behind. Standing at a distance yet close to him, she asks,“What? Why did you stop running?” She's smiling at him.He shakes his head, panting heavily. “I'm tired. I can't anymore.”She thinks he's making a joke. An attempt to cheat through the game. She doesn't want to believe him. She waits, keeping her distance. But the smile stretched across her lips begins to fade, closing in gap as the moment passes.There's no levity in him. His expression is serious and tired. He continues to shake his head, his breathing comi

    Electra’s mind is a muffled space as she journeys back home. Standing in front of the door it's as though she walked through a trance to reach it. She pulls on the knob, forgetting that she has to use the keys first. Electra dips a hand inside her bag to retrieve the keys when the door is pulled open.Irene stands in front of her, a look Electra is too distraught to notice drapes her face.“Um, did you forget your keys?” her voice is unnatural.Electra flashes her brows resignedly. Exhaustion and the weight of the event of today makes her shoulders drop.“Thank you.” That's all Electra manages to say.Irene's brows dip. “Are you alright? Was your first day that bad?”Electra sighs. “It was quite eventful.” She thinks back to the incident of meeting Andy and Jerry's reference to him as his brother. “Do you remember I told you about some goons I met the other day and my boss rescued me?” Electra begins, eyes narrowing as she relives that night in her head.“Don’t you want to come insi

    Jerry's gaze doesn't shift. His eyes watch Orion like a hawk waiting for the right time to pounce on its prey.“I owe uncle… your uncle, not you.” Jerry says calmly after a long stretch of silence.He continues. “And if that's the card you want to play, then I'm afraid I can't help you, Orion.” His words carry a finality to it, leaving no room for persuasion or arguments.Orion sits there for a moment, swallowing and trying to form words. But Jerry already has his head turned, hand reaching into his drawer for something.Orion’s eyes widens. The fear that assaults him is exactly what Jerry wants him to feel. But Jerry doesn't bring out what Orion thinks he's getting out. Instead, he pulls out a receipt book and idly begins to flip through it. He doesn't say anything more. He doesn't need to for Orion to know that the conversation is over.Orion stands. A deep exhale leaves him. He parts his lips to say something, but he decides against it. He'd try again some other time, with a diff

    Whoever is coming is closer now. The footsteps are nearer than before that Electra begins to count it.Andy's gaze narrows. “Tell him Andy was here,” he says and turns to leave. Electra breaths, letting air flood her starved lungs. Orion appears, the look of curiosity on his face as Andy walks past him changes to one of displeasure.He doesn't seem happy to see Electra, but she's never been more happy to see him. She would have crashed into him and given him a hug of appreciation if it wouldn't come off as weird. Orion eyes her, not hiding his annoyance. “Where is Jerry?”She ignores his disgruntlement, grateful that he arrived when he did. “He's out for lunch… but he says he won't be long. Do you want to wait?” Her last question is for her selfish reason. Orion hesitates a moment, considering the option to wait.“Did he say where he was going?”“Just the coffee shop down the road. He'll be back any moment from now. You can wait in his office if you want.” Electra shrugs.Orion c

    Electra reaches the garage. This time, she's early and Jerry takes her straight to his office to sign the required papers.“That'll be all for now. If anything comes up, I'll let you know.” Jerry gathers the papers on the table together. Holding them vertically, he taps the end to align the edges as he lifts his gaze to Electra's face.Leaning out of the seat, she nods her understanding. He says nothing more and the silence begins to stretch.He's staring at her, gaze intent with scrutiny. His lips are drawn into a serious line, his mustache unmoving. It makes her remember the first time she met him. It's this look that made her judge him to be stern and maybe wicked.“You're a very beautiful woman, Electra.” His words surprises her. It's not what she’s expecting him to say, but she says nothing, silently waiting for what's next to come. “And you know men come in often. Some may…”Understanding dawns on her. She knows what she's talking about as she has first hand experience from be

    That night, neither of them slept. Plagued by the monsters haunting them, each laid on their beds, eyes wide open and counting unseen stars in the ceiling.Electra can't stop thinking about her brother and her father. Still unable to understand why her father was doing what he's doing, she can't help but wonder how her brother would react to the news. Irene on the other hand is caught between her past and present, the father and son. Her mind travels back to two nights ago. The night she met Kleon. His proposal to her. She shakes her head. She does not want to think about it. She doesn't want to remember what happened that night. The night seems to last on for an eternity before it begins to grey around its edges, breaking dawn. Irene removes the covers from herself and jumps out of bed as though the mattress burns her back. She steps out of her room and meets Electra just as she too comes out of her room. Their gaze meets, each noticing the dark lines surrounding their puffy ey

    Anders barely sleeps that night. Worry keeps him company the whole night. He tries to erase the image of Electra sprawled unconscious on the cold hard floor of the pavement. He stays awake praying this isn't like last time. As early as the first light of dawn, Anders gets himself ready to head to t

    Melaina's worried gaze keeps flitting towards the back door as she follows behind Anders. Anders is too disturbed to notice her jittery. “Nikas.” He calls, joining Nikas and Irene. “We'll need to go to the station.” Nikas frowns. “Why aren't they coming here? Don't they need to look around, s

    Melaina stops typing as Orion's dismissive text pops on her phone. She was just about to ask him what Hector has got to do with Electra. After seeing Orion's message, she knows she won't get any response until after his court session is over. She swipes her screen, exits the messaging app and find

    Electra does not respond. She doesn't know how to respond. She just stays silent, staring at Melaina.Melaina’s face falls. She peels her gaze on the duo still sitting in the car.“I just wish his father would show him even a little kindness. It would mean the world to me. To Damian.”Electra looks
