Lara walked into an old little building on her way back from Ryan's house that morning. The whole gang was present. "Where have you been boss?" "I've got him! I have him right here in my palms!" "Who? Who're you talking about L?" Gianna asked. "The detective!" She exclaimed excitedly and dropped into a chair. "Oh yeah yeah!" Oliver nodded. "I think he's in love with me!" "Already? I don't think so!" Mia shook her head in disagreement. "He couldn't take his eyes off of me, he's been complimenting me since we met and besides I've given him no choice but to like me!" She rolled her eyes with pride. “So that means you slept with him?” “Ooo yes, I had to!” She pursed her lips like a baby. “Everything about him was reeling me in, he looked yummy, I wanted him so badly! I couldn’t go without having a taste of him and it was worth it!” She but her lips with desirously. “You’re a bad bitch, you know that?” Gianna teased her.
Another beautiful day in New York, everyone in the city was so busy doing one thing or the other— you could see people rushing somewhere up and down on Broadway, the tall buildings and large screens are always a spectacular view. Ryan was driving amongst the drivers who were all in a hurry to get to their destinations. Ryan drove past the sky scrapers and the streets on Broadway in his navy blue sports Range Rover car— enjoying a playlist of juice wrld's songs. Though it was going to be another stressful day at work for the young man, he could at least enjoy his ride to work. "Mm mmm mm, I still see your shadows in my room!" He hummed and sang along.The music was moderately loud and the windows were all rolled up, the air conditioning released a continuous flow of cool sweet smelling air that filled the whole car with a sense of comfort for the detective. Finally, he drove into the car park of the precinct, he quickly parked in the last parking space he ha
Ryan had spent eleven hours at work today and he was exhausted, he was even more exhausted because he still hadn't gotten a lead on Lara's case. He knew what she looked like— kind of, he had only seen her face one time and at night too but he was sure he could recognize her anywhere. Secondly, he knew her name, she had four other persons who worked with her— people whom Ryan was dying to identify. If he could just discover their hideout, he'd never let them go free again! "Where could she be, where could she be?" He whispered again and again to himself in his office as he shook his leg underneath the table nervously. "Hey, Ryan!" Joe called Ryan out of his thoughts. "Aren't you going home tonight?" "Oh yeah yeah, of course! I'll just finish up here and leave!" "It's 8 already don't stay out late man!" Joe advised him pointing to the watch on his hand. "Thanks boss, I hear ya!" Ryan clicked his tongue and waved at his boss— who had closed for the day and wanted to go home so bal
Ryan had a dream last night, he saw Eleanor in his arms and they were happy together but soon she began to slip from his arms, she vanished without saying a word to him and her face had fear written all over it. Ryan knew he had to wake up, he awoke from his dream with a difficulty. He found himself on his bed back home but something felt strange within him and he just couldn't get his head around it. Suddenly, three masked men were standing in his room with huge baseball bats pointed at him, they began to move towards him with the aim of beating him up! "No no no!!!" Ryan yelled at them but they continued to come closer.Splash!!! He was brutally awakened with a painful splash of water on his body, his face especially, felt the harsh wipe of water.Aaaarrggghh!!! Ryan shook in great shock as the water brought him back to reality. He finally understood that he had only woken up inside his dream before. "What'd you do that for?!!!" He blinked many times to reduce the hotness of th
The next morning, Ryan woke up in his car clueless of how he got there. "Uhhhh!" He complained bitterly about the pains he felt all over his body. He felt a sharp pain on his lips and when touched it, a little stain of blood followed his finger tip. He gasped!He quickly bent the rear view mirror over to his side so he could have a better look at his face.Ryan was shocked to see bruises all over his face along with a swollen eye— one of his eye was so swollen that the skin underneath the eye and his eyelid became so close to each other, he could almost not see with that eye. Ryan sighed with sadness. He could recall what happened to him last night and they must've taken him to his car when he blacked out. He also remembered that the front tires of the car were flattened out. He threw a punch at the steering wheel in anger. He got down from the car with a struggle; as he ached all over. He felt a deathly pain in his arm and leg, he had to lean over on the car to aid his movement.
Thirteen years ago, Lara Daniels lost her parents to a deathly illness. They were so poor that they couldn’t afford the drugs prescribed by the doctor, she was twelve years old when it happened. She said goodbye to her parents on their death beds, she had cried her eyes out; seeing her parents lifeless on the bed and after that day, she never had a normal childhood again! Lara was taken by her aunt to an orphanage the next day, Aunt Delia didn’t have any intentions of harbouring a child, she could only care less about her niece and that’s why she gave her away to the orphanage. To her, she had done something good for the girl. “This will be your home now Lara, you’ll like it here!” Aunt Delia said to Lara while holding her hand. The only thing Lara took along with her was a silver bracelet with the words “love forever” engraved on it— it was given to her by her mum and she had come to love it a lot! She never took it off from her wrist and now that her parents died, she would ch
Back to the present, Ryan is on a bed with his bruises and injuries carefully cleaned and tended to by a nurse at the New York Allen hospital. He was put on a two days bed rest at the hospital out of his will and Ryan Steven was a very stubborn man, he wanted so badly to be out there looking for the people who hurt him, but the Doctors had been strictly informed to give him the best care. Mr Joe wanted his best detective to be in his best shape when he resumes his duties at the station; he was a good boss who actually cared for his staff. Ryan complained of being bored and tired of staying at the hospital but no one paid any attention to him. ****** Lara jumped down from a taxi in front of the hospital in a pair of black heeled zip-up strap booths. She was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans and a white turtle neck knitted sweater, she was ready to begin her acting job. So far she had been able to fool the detective and she was well pleased with that fact. Her hair was re
How well do we know our friends? How well do we know the people around us? Do we just look at the surface and believe they are what we think they are? We can never fully trust anyone and that’s for the best reason— we can’t read minds!Your best friend could be your worst enemy and your lover could hurt you someday, even family members turn on each other. It’s a crazy world, trust no one! They laugh with you and pretend to be happy with you but deep down their hearts are as black as night. There are some persons who come into our lives not to harm us or to lead us astray, they just come into our lives to use us. It takes extra focus and wisdom to see beyond their act. Trust no one!********* After two days and nights at the hospital, Ryan was discharged by the doctors. Lara stayed with him at the hospital, she also took him home after he was discharged. She was really getting better at her acting job. They got down from the taxi in front of Ryan’s house on a Thursday morning. Rya
