Mateo had been in Timberville for two weeks but every queries was left unanswered, every move leads to dead end. Nobody or no one knows who Lorraine Adams is? Even her pictures didn't give a positive results."I think we are just wasting our time here boss, she must have been passing by or she is on the way to another place." His assistant said." You're probably right. Have every aircrafts left five days before and after that day she was spotted check its manifest.." He ordered." We already did that boss there's no Lorraine Adams registered on the manifest. It also hard to track her on another form if transformation.

Just as she

Peter Collins was quiet for a while stared at a distance with sad look in his eyes and an expression of guilt and regrets. "Your grandmother and I grew up together in a small town in the outskirt of Emerald City. This place is far from what it was before. Maggie and I, our relationship was very close like childhood sweethearts the folks back then thought that in time we will end up marrying each other. " "Their house were just across the street from ours. Ourr parents knew each other but then all of the folks back then knew each other. Some of our playmates and friends end up marrying each other. Except for those who went away looking for greener pastures that the place doesn't offer. Just like me but I left for another reason." "What I reason?" Raine asked curiously.The flashback; Peter excitedly hailed a taxi after he step out of the Arrivals area of the local airport. He gave the direction of his destination to the driver. As the taxi take him to his destination he was surpris
"Oh..." was all that Raine ever uttered. Her grandfather died early and she hardly remember him. All she knew was that her grandmother Maggie struggled so hard to raise her father alone, she never remarried only focus raising her only child. After her mother died she took it upon herself to raise her. She look at the old man across, and felt sad for him too. But at least he had a successful and happy life .

Peter Collins continued."You look for her?" She asked, anticipating the reply."No, we met accidentally, I had regrets on what happened to her, she married a gambler. But Maggie is a strong, independent resilient and compassionate woman. She never blame me or regretted her decision in marrying your grandfather." "Yes, that was grandma." There was pride in her voice."When we met she was as cheerful as before but I asked

"The your secret account the one I hacked from Amira Adams account, is compromised.""What do you mean?" "Someone is trying to break-in the fire wall I set and they manage to breach the first line of defense." Giah and Raine have hacked Amira and Zee's bank account to claim back the money they transferred to their individual account from the income of the Adams family business."What can I do to help?" She offered."While, I am reinforcing the defense, you try to break- In and find out where the attack just coming." Giah advised. Two years together Giah taught Raine her line of expertise. Together they work to take down some of Giah's opponents. Together they form a formidable duo."Do you want me to attack?" "No, just create a diversion. I'm think that they don't mean any harm to us just wanting to get
