Amelia's POV I walked the remaining path to the trio squad from where the cab had dropped me quickly. Now that I think about it, why did I leave that place quickly? I saw William trying to say something but does it even matter? I sighed as I kept on walking and my mind played all that had happened this afternoon. I got to my tent and I met Joanna already waiting for me. "Hey-", she had not even let me finish before she pulled me and rushed me into my tent. "Tell me how it went!", she shouted anxiously with wide sparkly eyes immediately after we sat down. I placed my purse down and sighed. I picked up my black rubber band and used it to pack my hair into a ponytail. I looked back at Joanna and she was frowning, I laughed and she hit me playfully on the arm. "Just tell me already! Please?", she said with puppy eyes and I snorted at her words. She frowned again and I quickly raised my arms. "Okay, okay, give me a second", I said and she sighed. "I did not go to see him-"
William's POV "We are here boss", I heard Scott say and my eyes flew open. I stared out of the window and truly we were at the trio squad or let me say the trio squad was in front of us. I looked at the various colors of the tent that was still a little bit far away from where we were and I frowned. I knew Scott was looking at me through the mirror and I glared right at it. I caught his eyes on me and he quickly took his gaze off the mirror. "You do not like your job, Scott", I said with a frown. I haven't said his name out loud in a long time. He did not reply but I did felt the car moving again. In a minute, we had arrived there and Scott parked the car on side of the full of potholes road. I looked around for a bit and I could see the weird look people were giving the car. Some did not even care as they sat on benches and smoked cigarettes, and some were drinking as well. I sighed before getting down of the car and Scott followed after me quickly. I walked down the ro
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... Amelia's POV I went out of my tent and sighed as I got out. I need to get a job. I am dressed in a tank top and black jean trousers with my black Snickers. I need some air first though. I walked down the road, away from the trio squad. I sat down on a bench and watched the kids playing in the park just beside the road to the main city. I used to do this as well when I was young, together with my parents and brother on Sunday afternoons. I do not want to think about all these right now. I stood up with my hands in my pocket and went into the small grocery store just beside the road to the trio squad. I got out with a small bottle of coke in my hand and I sipped as I walked. A black Mazda car stopped in front of me and I stopped moving abruptly. A man got out of the driver's side and I became confused. Where have I seen this man before? "Thank goodness you are out here, I can't go in there", he said with a groan as he pointed in a direction. I traced h
Amelia's POV I can feel my tongue tied in my mouth. Is he going to fire Mary? I mean, she has been working here for seven years, would he just fire her like that? "You are back", I heard Mary's joyous voice from beside me and I looked at her in surprise. What is she doing? "Mmm", William hummed as a reply and I looked at him as well... in shock. Okay, what's going on? I am very confused right now. Is he angry or not? Cause I am sure he just hummed as a reply. "Would you please excuse us, Mary? I have to talk to Amelia about something", he said while staring at me and Mary nodded. "Okay, I will go and cook dinner then", she replied, standing up and soon 'escaped' into the kitchen. I looked up at William who had just watched Mary leave and I asked. "You are not angry? At all?", I asked and he turned to face me abruptly. "About what?", he asked back, like he was oblivious to what has just happened. "Mary telling me about you?", I asked back. Like was that not the obvious thin
Amelia's POV I sat down there, on the floor, and thought about it. What harm could come out of me living with him? Nothing, right? I stood up and decided. I have to tell Joanna at least. I mean if I have to live here, someone has to know, right? And when I am done and I have found my family's murderer and put him behind bars, I can just leave this place and continue with my life. I walked towards the door slowly. Even though I am still confused and slightly annoyed about what William had done this evening, I still have to talk to him. I walked quickly and without any reason, pushed the door open. I was faced with a well-toned chest and my mouth went wide. I looked up and I saw his wet hair dripping, he was staring at me with a towel in his hand, which he, I assume used to dry the right side of his head before I barged in stupidly. I looked back down unwillingly. His body was bare up to that 'v' part. Looking down further would be... I looked up quickly and said. "I- I have
THURSDAY MORNING... Amelia's POV I woke up when the alarm rang. 6; 00 am. I woke up this early because I would have to follow William and I don't want anything to stop me from seeing Joanna and telling her about all this. It's not like I have another person to talk about this with anyways. I had a quick bath in the bathtub and got dressed in my tank top and trouser. This isn't the first time I would be wearing the same clothes for two days, straight. So, I just shrugged and made my way downstairs. Mary was just arriving when I got downstairs and I greeted her with a smile and she smiled back. I am going to be seeing a lot of her these days then. "Do you want to have breakfast?", she asked and I was taken aback. What does she mean by do I want to have breakfast? Do they not have breakfasts in this house? "Yes, sure", I replied anyways, still confused. "William does not usually eat breakfasts all the time, that's why", she explained. I guess she noticed the confused look on
Amelia's POV The car finally stopped and I looked outside. We must have arrived. I got down from the car and that's when I noticed that this Scott guy had stopped the car exactly where he came to pick me up yesterday. Seriously? He can't go a little bit further inside? This place can still be considered far from the trio squad! I squint my eyes at him as he drove the car away. I sighed, looking down at my sneakers before making my way up the path to the trio squad. Within ten minutes or so, I arrived at my tent and I saw George staring at me. Creepy old man. I thought and shivered slightly. I was about to go into my tent when I heard someone call me. "Amelia?" Oh, I know that voice. I turned around to meet Joanna's searching gaze on me. "Where have you been?", she asked when she was sure I was the one standing in front of her. "Uhm...", I started before looking around us again. "I would explain to you, let's go inside first", I replied and she stared at me for quite s
Amelia's POV I got into the car and Scott started the ignition. I stared at him and fumed. "It wouldn't have hurt you to pick me up a bit later, you know", I said and I saw Scott smile through the rear mirror. Whatever... Scott continued driving and I just looked outside, at the malls, the small shops, the park and the tall buildings around the city. "You must be really close to William sir", I heard Scott say and I turned to look at him. "What do you mean? Why do you say that?", I asked curiously. "He does not usually ask me to pick people up for him. Not this frequently", Scott replied and I sighed deeply. "Don't worry, if it's about the stress, you won't be in any stress any longer. I... I am going to live with him now, so you can just-", I had not finished talking when Scott cut me off rudely, shutting me out of my slow talking fantasy. "What?!", he shouted before looking back at me. "Hey! You can just use the rearview mirror to look at me and talk. Face the front back
