Lincoln arrives at Jamie’s apartment to discuss about their deal. She has an investor lined up for him who can buy his shares and has already acquired five percent from his father. He knocks on the door.“Come in,” her voice comes from inside. He unlocks the door and enters only to find Damien and another familiar face: Governor Hampton. He’s instantly enraged and turns to Jamie.“What the hell is he doing here?” He snarls, pointing at Damien. “He’s not invited to this meeting, is he?”“Relax,” Jamie assures him. “Damien is an old friend.”“I told you that he won’t be pleased,” Damien smirks. Jamie rolls her eyes and sits on the couch. She motions Lincoln to join her.“He let that brat and Nathan go!” Lincoln exclaims. “Why should I trust him?”“I let him go because I owed a favor to Nathan Michell’s girlfriend,” Damien grins. “I’m not indebted to her anymore. Besides, I never said I’ll end the enmity.”Lincoln doesn’t trust him at all. Seeing his distrust, Hampton barges in.“He want
Lincoln steps out of the bathroom, refreshed. He has been assisting in numerous surgeries and is very tired. His phone begins to ring. It’s Jamie.“What’s the news?” He asks her.“The deal is done,” she replies. “Once the board meeting takes place, Salvez will support you. Daniel will be kicked out. But I’m still curious. How is this gonna help you get Halsey?”Lincoln smirks and says, “Once I take over the hospital, I’ll gain influence over Daniel’s properties. There’s a property of his up south where no one goes. It’s been abandoned for a long time but that’s where I’ll take Halsey. After the board meeting, Salvez will whisk her away from that wretched hotel. He’s got spies there. They can manage it. After she’s been taken, Salvez will remove her entire existence. No documents, ID nor any kind of paperwork will remain. He’s got friends in the government.”From the other end of the call, Jamie is listening intently. She looks up at Nathan and Halsey who are also listening. Nathan had
Daniel is in his office, going over a few files. He’s reading them with interest. Someone is interested in a donor’s heart but the heart is scheduled to go to a kid who’s under Daniel’s care. The interested party is willing to pay him with a fifty million dollar property up in New York. It’s an opportunity he can’t miss.There’s a knock on the door but he doesn’t look up. It’s probably a nurse who’s supposed to leave a file on his desk.“Put the file on the desk,” he offhandedly says.But he hears the chair creak and someone sits across to him. He looks up and is stunned.“Hello dad,” Nathan says with a grin. “Long time, huh?”Daniel’s lips purse in anger. “What the hell are you doing here?” He snarls. “Haven’t you done enough damage?”“Shouldn’t you be happy to see your son?” Nathan coolly asks. “After all, I was in jail the last time you saw me. You should be proud that I managed to climb my way up despite being labeled as a criminal.”“You’re nothing but a filthy mafia!” Daniel sna
Halsey is in deep thought. She’s completely zoned out, her mind only replaying Daniel’s threat. Ever since that encounter, she can’t help feeling that something is gonna go wrong.Jo pouts at her mother. For the past hour, Jo has been trying to tell Halsey about her new doll but her mother isn’t paying attention.“Mommy!” Jo exclaims. “My new doll’s hair needs to be braided!”“Huh?” Halsey blinks in confusion before realizing that she has been ignoring Jo. “I’m sorry, Jo. I was just…”She takes a deep breath and pulls Joanna to her lap. “You’ve got my full attention,” she swears. “I’ll braid your dollie’s hair.”“Okay!” Jo squeals. Halsey tries to concentrate on playing with Jo. Someone knocks on the door and she looks up to find Nathan there, smiling.“Daddy, look!” Jo gleefully says as she holds up the doll. “Her hair is braided!”“That’s very nice, Jo,” Nathan compliments her. “Why don’t you go downstairs and play with Trent? He brought you the basketball set you’ve been asking for
Jamie can see an ambulance and a police car up ahead. She stops her car and gets out of it. Lincoln is sitting on a large rock while the paramedics apply first aid on him and a few police officers are getting his testimony. She received a call from Lincoln an hour ago that he’s been in an accident.“What happened?” She demands. “How did you get into an accident?”“Long story,” Lincoln mutters. “No one was hurt,” an officer says. “And the paramedics have applied first aid. The car is being towed away. You’re lucky, Doctor Jacobs.”Lincoln merely nods and throws a meaningful glance at Jamie. A paramedic approaches them and announces that they need to take Lincoln to the hospital. Lincoln is still shaken by the hallucination he saw earlier and had fainted. He was found later by a passerby who called the ambulance and the cops. Thankfully, he isn’t hurt but his mind can’t forget what he saw.The paramedics help him to get on a stretcher and carry him into the ambulance. Jamie climbs in w

Anticipation has been rising over the next few days. Halsey notices that Nathan is staying out late a lot. He leaves really early in the morning and returns late which is worrying her. What’s he up to? She wonders. Nathan is tight lipped about his plans. The drug deal is going to take place the next night and he’s been in constant communication with Damien about it. Jamie has also been giving him tabs on Lincoln. Nathan wanted to tell Halsey about the accident but ultimately decided against it. Lincoln was discharged the day after the accident, setting Nathan’s plan in motion.“He’s seeing the psychiatrist I’ve recommended,” Jamie says one morning. She’s in his office at the hotel, reporting Lincoln’s activities to Nathan. “There’s been some interesting development.”“What is it?” Nathan frowns. Jamie takes out a file and puts it in front of him. “He’s suffering from an advanced stage of encephalitis,” Jamie says.“What the hell is that?”“It’s an inflammation of the brain. When th
Lincoln is in Doctor Pierce’s office, fidgeting. Doctor Pierce is a middle aged psychiatrist with smooth dark hair and lazy eyes. He observes his patient with interest, waiting for him to talk. “I saw them again,” Lincoln starts. “Last night…” “Them?” Doctor Pierce questions. “You saw more than one person this time?” Lincoln runs his fingers through his hair. Unbeknownst to him, Doctor Pierce glances at a small vase on the desk. There’s a tiny camera and a mic hidden in it. Nathan is hiding in the toilet, listening to the conversation through headphones. “My mom was there,” Lincoln admits. “She was whispering something. I don’t know what it was! Her lips were moving. Next to her was my old coach, Nelson. He died of a heart attack a few years ago!” “I see,” Pierce says and notes on a paper. “You keep seeing them. Why? What’s the reason?” “I-I was close to them,” Lincoln stammers. “How did your mother die? You mentioned that she passed away five years ago.” “She…she was killed by
