Cody "I told you I could handle it." Snow says in a weak voice, smiling at me. "You passed out. How was that handled?" I ask her. "I was feeling nauseous and dizzy while I was in there. I guess I'm claustrophobic." She chuckles. "It's alright. You're tired right now. Get some rest. I have to get back to work." "You're leaving me here?" "No. I'm not. This is my personal work space. No one will come here, except Lee, Sam and I." "But you're still leaving me here." She whines. "I have to so that you can rest. The drugs you took earlier will let you sleep like a baby so i have to leave you." "Fine." She pouts. "I'll see you when I wake up." "Sure." I wave at her leave my personal space, making sure to lock the room. It's a room I designed inside my office to look like a mini apartment just with a bedroom, bathroom and living room. I usually stay over when I have a lot of work to complete before the next day. So when I sleep in the office, I actually sleep in a comfortable space.
Snow "Did you see Kesha while you were entering the building?" Detective Parker asked. Cody leans closer to us. "Yes. I was entering with her. Then when we got to the elevator and she saw me, she muttered to herself, loud enough for me to hear, that she isn't riding the same elevator that I will be riding. Then she smirked and walked away." "Did she mention anything else to you?" "No. I didn't want her to bother me and ruin my day. I was coming to see Cody about something." I feel my cheeks heat up as I mention this. I feel ridiculous and slightly embarrassed that I'm blushing in front of the Detective and Cody. Cody winks at me and smirks. "That was not important. What I found weird was that no one was in there with me. When I got to the elevators, and the employees saw me, they just let me ride alone." I turn to Cody. "Did you ask them to do that?" "I didn't ask them to do that. But maybe they were showing you respect or something as my girlfriend." "Maybe, Mr. Wells, maybe."
Snow "Hey Lily. Do not show this message to anyone or let them know about it. I want you to meet me at the bar we last met. I have something to show you." Then I remember the flashdrive he gave me. Now I really want to see him and confront him about it. Thinking about it makes me annoyed. But can I trust James? He fooled me the last time, I don't want to be fooled again. Maybe I should go and listen to what he has to say. Maybe he wants to apologise and will actually show me something that will help me with this tough ongoing case. But what if this is a trap? No. I should stop thinking too much. I doubt this is a trap. Why would James want to trap me? I can go to him with the police as my backup, but my problem is Cody. He'll be so pissed to the extent that he might grow cold towards me. I don't want to risk ruining our relationship. I should go back to bed. I'm sure I'll have a clear mind by the time I wake up. And maybe if I can think of a way to tell Cody and make it seem like a
Snow "Good day Miss Jenkins." Detective Parker greets. "I hope you're feeling better today." "I am. Thanks for asking." I look around for Andre. Like always, he's late again. "Where is Andre?" I ask the Detective. "Andre is with the other batch. He found an old burnt up warehouse where the traffickers used to hide the kidnapped women and children." "He did?" I ask, astonished. "He did. They also found some chemicals in an old stinky lab like you described the other time. My boys in the forensic department had them analysed and we discovered that those are prototypes of the ZIP that was used on you." "That's amazing." I beam. "It is. You were the one who busted them." The Detective continues. I gasp in response. "Andre is indeed the mystery solver. He was able to find clues that proved you were there. We checked our records to see if anything happened on that day and we found something. You anonymously tipped us while you were being chased by two traffickers. We came in but we di
Snow I enter the shop that Mrs Wells was in and is now coming out of and I intentionally bump into her making her drop her items. "What in the world is–" She starts but stops when she realises it was me that bumped into her. I flash her an innocent smile. "Oops. Sorry." I giggle. "Let me help you." The plan here is to annoy her so much that she might tell me what she's going to do to me. Or what she planned on doing to me in order to hurt me. "You." She snarls. "Aren’t you supposed to be in a hospital? You're supposed to be dead." Point one marked down. "Yeah, well, I'm not. I'm a tough woman. You should know that." She looks at me with disgust. I maintain my smile. I kneel down and pick her stuff for her. She snatches them from me, still scowling. "I don't have time for you." She says. "Let me pass." "Oh I actually wanted to talk to you about something which is very important. It's about your son." She stops and turns to look at me, glaring swords and daggers at me. This woman
Cody I was so devastated when I heard that Snow was shot at the mall when she went to see my mother. I really shouldn't have let her go through with it. And now she's in a coma and I don't know when she'll wake up. I feel like this is all my fault. When Andre called me, he was talking so fast that I couldn't hear a word that he was saying. There were blaring siren noises in the background, I wondered what was going on. When I asked him to slow down and speak, I wasn't expecting to hear those dreadful words from his mouth. "You should come fast. Snow was meeting with your mother when all of a sudden there was a gunshot. The police haven't found the shooter yet. Come to the hospital quickly." I left my office as soon as I heard Andre. I didn't wait for anything. I headed straight to the hospital to see Snow, Sam came with me. We met Andre at the entrance and he told us that she was currently being operated on. I paced around for about four hours until the operation was done. One doct
Cody I was asleep when I heard the monitors beeping so fast. I wake up to check it, the short beeping sounds stop. The sound replacing the short beeps is a long beep sound. I check the monitors and I see that Snow's heartbeat has stopped. Then I rushed out and called the doctors and nurses that I found outside the hospital room. Lee jumps up in his seat and looks around frantically when he hears the bustling sound in the room as doctors and nurses rush into the room to check on Snow. He stayed with me last night and kept me company in Snow's hospital room. My heart started beating fast and it is still beating rapidly. I passed my hand through my hair, feeling all sorts of emotions that were overwhelming me. Tears threatening to spill at the thought of Snow being dead. I don't know what I'd do if I lose her. I can't lose Snow. The nurses let us go out so that they could have their space to check on Snow. I pace in the hallway. "Calm down Cody. Don't jump into conclusions just yet."
Snow I don't know how, but I woke up with my memories. I remembered everything. My past was no more a mystery to me. Everything just came to me. I was very happy about that. It sped up everything for the police as well. I remembered that I discovered five more warehouses during my investigations, including the main one, but I asked them to randomly raid two and leave the three warehouses. Their boss might get the hint and flee from the country. Parker and his officers raided them all and were able to catch the human traffickers. Kidnapped women and children were sent back home to their family safely. The forensic scientists assured them that they would soon recover the memories they lost since ZIP was being tested on them. Sadly some of them were being used as lab rats. But thankfully, they're all safe now. Cody was very happy for me. I was finally able to locate my parents' grave. I visited them almost everyday. I would have asked Aunt Nicolette or Uncle Jacque, but I wanted to find
