James
I would have loved to go out of my way and look for her, but it was her choice to leave. Her father told me she remembered something, and she needed time on her own to figure things out. He wouldn’t tell me a lot which was not going to help me. She was gone and I didn’t know what to do.
I wanted to give up and give her space, but I couldn’t. I had a feeling she needed me. I could help if she asked. It hurt that she didn’t trust me enough. I just found out I’m in love with her and I can’t lose her after only finding her. I was going to make everything about her my business too. The only thing I can do now is to find her case file and start my investigations. Hopefully, I will find something useful, so I started the engine and made my way to the station.
There was no point in me looking sharp anymore as I pulled the tie from my co
Razor It was a close call, but I managed to get the painting from Nick’s grasp. If one of his men had managed to get the painting the boss was not going to be happy. I have seen the length of his wrath far too many times to risk double-crossing him. I used to work for Frank, but he found out I covered for my brother Jay after he hit a school kid and drove off. I had lied and became his alibi, but he found out and made me betray my old boss. He never deserved my betrayal after everything he had done for me, but I had no choice. He tied my hands. With both Jay and I in prison, there would be no one to take care of my family. I was expecting a child at the time and I couldn’t leave them. I know what I did and have accepted an
James The night is going to be very long. I was back at home trying to arrange everything for my board. I had retrieved my old sketchbook from the basement and printed her case file. I still couldn’t believe that it was her and I didn’t see it sooner. I tried to look for her, but she had disappeared and all this time she had been in the same city as me. I should have done a better job of looking and now I was not going to let her disappear on me again. She has been the reason I couldn’t commit to a girl because I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I guess it's true people do fall in love at first sight. I looked on the bed where the bracelet was and observed it again. The flashback of that night came back in my head again. She bumped into me and she had been running for a long time by the way she was breathing. She looked back be
James “What is up with you today?” “Nothing,” I responded. I was tapping my feet while staring at my phone. I was waiting for a call from Ivy from forensics. I had asked her to check the bracelet, maybe something will come out of the search. I checked the time again. What was taking Ivy so long? “Pega?” “I’m fine Nigel,” I responded with a sigh. “What was the last thing I said then?” he spoke. “You asked me how I was?” I responded. “No. That’s not what I asked. Now, what is up with you?” he inquired. “Nothing,” I answered looking at my phone.
Adam Everything I have been doing would have been better if I wasn’t doing it all in hiding. I feel I have been doing all of this all wrong from the beginning. I can’t fight alone, it was time I reached out to my sister. I broke into her foster’s house looking for the bracelet but couldn’t find it. Razor and Jay even tried to trap me into thinking I had found Sebastian. I’m not a fool and my father taught me better. I will not be blindsided by their schemes anymore. These years in hiding taught me better. I took the risky move and made my way to Kioni’s apartment making sure to keep my eyes peeled. My heart was beating out of my chest harder than I expected. I was beginning to wonder why I didn’t do this sooner because it felt right. “Hi there,” I said looking behind me. Everything seemed good so far. “I’m wondering if you can help me
Kioni “Wow, when did Rosalyn have time to make this?” I asked as I sat down. “I did ask her to make something special.” Nick smiled. “She is a miracle worker. This smells divine,” I let the aroma in. I’m surprised Rosalyn had time to make a casserole considering the amount of time I bumped into her when I was exploring the house. Nick must have asked her to make sure I got anything I needed because she kept me well fed and hydrated all afternoon. I’m not sure I have space to have dinner, but it smelled and looked devine. “How was your day,” Nick asked, plating his food. “It was good. I’m surprised I slept throughout the morning.” I responded as I added the salad to my plate.
Kioni I felt strange when my eyes opened. I couldn’t remember how I got here. The room was different and It wasn’t my bed. I looked around and noticed I was alone and I had my nightgown on and when I got out of bed I noticed my suitcase. I must be in a hotel room, I thought but how did I get here? I took a step back as I felt my head spin a little. I moved back and sat on the bed massaging my head trying to think. I looked around and saw my pills and a glass of water and moved to take one or two. They always made the pain go away and I needed to find my bearings and calm down before I figured out where I was. I was about to take some before I heard a knock on the door. “Just a second,” I responded. I moved to my suitcase looking for my gown. I quickly went through my clothes and pulled th
Harper One month later, I have never seen my brother this miserable and closed off. Even when our parents died he at least made an effort but ever since she disappeared he has been running like a motor and his fuel was about to run out soon. He looked rough, sad, and grumpy most of the time. He even had a gruff beard that made him look older than his age. It kind of made him look like dad if only he took the time to maintain the look. He looked like a defeated soul and I missed the old James. “James?” I knocked on his room. Silence. I waited before I knocked again this time a little harder. Silence. “James. I’m coming in with my eyes closed,” I spoke but there was no response. I didn’t hear him come in last night and he had left early for work that Conrad had to fetch me in the morning. I came back early today and left for my date and when I texted him about my plans he responded with just an ‘okay’. I was getting a little worried because usually when I go out, he demands I come ba
James I have been having the worst days. I go to work and ever since we closed the emoji girl case every other case has been a blur from there. It’s frustrating because work has been going smoothly but my personal dilemma has been futile. It’s been a month and nothing I have been doing has been working. Everything has been reaching a dead-end which made everything clear. It was too clean. It made it easier for me to focus more so that I managed to notice that I was being followed. I will never forget that face. He was the man with the suit, and he was the one with a phone on his ear. I don’t know how long he has been following me, but I noticed him last week. I must give him credit because I caught a glimpse of him last week but thought nothing of it before I saw him again yesterday when I was looking for a car for Harper. From then I became alert and I decided to lay a trap of my own. I still have less information and in need of proof, but I have managed to find my motive. Frank Tu
