"Don’t be nervous. You will be fine."
"I dont feel that way. Right now, my heart is beating fast."
She takes Angela's hand, placing it on her chest. "can you feel that?"
Angela nods, "you will be fine try not to overthink it."
Jessica is sitting on the opposite chair, is becoming impatient, then stands up and walks over to the reception. A young lady with red curly hair wearing red lipstick and a formal black skirt looks up.

The receptionist flickers her eyebrows, looking down at her file, then looks ups, "The doctor will let me know when I can let you in."
"Is that not the whole reason we call in for an appointment?"
"Yes, b

"Sorry, Angela, for bringing it up. It's better to let it out than to keep it bottled up, being uncertain."Nicole looked ahead and sunk in her seat, “it's him, "it's him, the guy who raped me."She pointed at a fifty-year-old white guy with a thirteen-year-old girl standing next to him. "Stop this car immediately,” Jessica demanded.Angela pulled over to the car, and Jessica walked up behind the older man, pulled out her gun, and shot him in the back of his head in broad daylight. Angela ducked down in the car, "what did you just do?""You saw what I did. That asshole deserved it.""He did, but come on, in broad daylight, we can't go doing shit like that in broad daylight.”Nicole sat in silence, watching the two girls talk. Jessica dared to kill the man in broad daylight for her sake. No one would do what Jessica did; she showed no emotion or remorse for what she had just done. “What if they saw the license plate An

“Why is everyone afraid of him?” Nicole asked."Well, sooner or later, you will know more about him. Rogan is not the type of guy you see here; he is a well-known international person, and people he deals with are in the underworld.”“The underworld?” Nicole said."Yes, where the money laundering, drugs gangs, and druglords are. He spent billions on creating that market. Have you heard of the site salt that comes from the dark web? Well, Rogan has the real thing running.”"Does that not create alot of enemies? Make people dislike you?""Of course. Why do you think I kept my identity a secret?"My brother never exposes himself, which is why I am surprised we came here.

Nicole had been crying; Angela sat beside Nicole, squeezed her hand, then let out a gentle smile, "want to tell me what happened?"Nicole looked up at Angela, “it's Jack. He likes Jessica.”Angela was waiting for Nicole to say something."You know we love and care about you and will always be here for you, but you and my brother split up before the accident.”Jessica stood outside the door, hearing the conversation. She couldn't help but feel relieved that Angela had talked with Nicole. She looked across the passage and saw Jack's room light was on. Jessica tip-toed over to his room and looked inside.

Retrograde Chapter 1
(Truth or Dare) Pale and trembling in shock. Angela slams down the receiver, not waiting for the unknown blackmailer to finish. Her knuckles were white from gripping the phone. OH God! She whispers. Please let this not be real. Let me wake up and find it was just an awful dream. It can not be happening. Not now, after finally burying the dark past. Who was this caller? How did he know her name? How does he know so much about her and her past? Even her phone number? Dazed and trance, Angela walks to her kitchen with unsteady legs. She takes a glass to fill it with water; her throat feels dehydrated. Blindly she looks out her kitchen window, her mind returning to the caller's words; I know what you did with Cassie. I know you hide the body. How does he know so much? Does she ask herself? How does he know Cassie? Angela took a cup of cold water; Angela's eyes took in the beauty of the sunset. The pool where she had a lovely relaxing swim seems to reflect a golden color; the evening

The sun was beaming through her blinds, causing the woman to stir. Usually, waking up was a simple task for Angela; she was a morning person; she groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit her face. Angela picked up her nightstand alarm clock and looked at the time. "Ugh, why is it so early?" She placed her clock back on the surface and slowly began to sit up. She put her hand to her head which was throbbing. "Nothing, a little Excedrin, can't handle." Crawling out of her warm bed, she walked to her bathroom, took two pills, and poured tap water into her rinse cup. Once she had taken her medicine, she jumped into a warm shower, washing away any residue. When she was done, she headed downstairs; her mother had set the table for breakfast.Angela somehow had a feeling of confidence and an urge to get out of the house. Not only had her mother lied to her about her biological dad, but she had made her live with this monster all her life. Angela felt sick in her stomach looking at this

"So, son, what have you been up to? Have you decided where you will study?" "Yes, dad, I was considering Harvard." "Good son, you always knew where you were heading in life." Angela's dad glanced at her as she rolled her eyes, "So young lady, it is day one. Have you decided where you will be going?" Angela nods; that's good said her dad; where have you decided to go? She wanted to say away from your sad face, bite her tongue, and give off a fake smile. "I have decided to go to campus." "The intelligent choice, young lady," said her dad. There was silence for a moment when there was a knock on the door, "who could that be here so early." said her dad; go get the door, son. Jack walked over to the door, "Hello, officer." "Good day, young lad. Is your name Jack?" "Yes," said Jack frowning, wondering how the cop knew his name, "would you mind if I ask you a few questions relating to the disappearance of Nicole?" Mr. Fox overheard the officer and stood up, "Jack does not answer

Jack was shaken by this visit and realized that Nicole's disappearance was severe. He went to their favorite hang-out spot, and they spent a lot of time by the train; one particular hang-out spot was on the roof of the train; although Nicole was no longer his priority, deep down, he still cared about her well-being. Angela heard the door downstairs opening and shutting close, she looked through the bedroom window where she saw Jack wearing a hoody with a neon dragon on the back, and she noticed the Cadillac had started to follow her brother. Angela then climbed into her old mom's old sedan and followed the Cadillac; the guy in the passenger seat was taking pictures; why were they suspecting her brother, 'well, whatever is happening, Angela needs to warn her brother. Angela took her cell phone and called her brother, he was in her eyesight, and she saw Jack taking the phone from his pocket, looking at it, and putting it back. "Dammit, Jack." Angela wanted to accelerate and overtak
