Anastasia:“You can’t seriously expect me to not call Blake after what you just told me” I said glaring at Elijah. Yaroslav left the room a while ago, leaving me alone with Elijah who got up from the couch. He walked over to me and cupped my cheeks, gently running his finger over my jawline “the man was killed yesterday; there has been another case and instead of investigating; he was working for publicity”“You need to learn how to be patient, malyshka. Plus, you don’t know what really happened; someone could have seen and reported the case. Your friend could have been forced to speak up” Elijah said gently. I sighed and removed his hands from my cheeks, knowing that he was simply acting the way he was after our night yesterday. I couldn’t have the two of us forget our target, who we were, and what we were together. Sharing a bed or keeping one another’s beds warm didn’t mean that anything changed between us. The man had his own perspectives and I had mine, and they both couldn’t mix

Anastasia:“The man is mad if he believes that he could keep doing it without getting caught. He’s already leaving clues behind that are literally leading to him” I said looking at Viktor who nodded as looked at the map we had in front of us and each of the crime scene pictures. We were at the Volkov Estate working on the case knowing that the station wouldn’t be our base. Blake didn’t like the fact that we were coming in and leaving to simply get information, but he had no say in our decisions anymore. The station was now based on ‘normal or easy cases’.The map seemed to be a trail, a literal trail that he was following, a route of some sort. But where it lead; neither one of us knew.“Yeah, but now we have a lead and I am starting to believe that he’s actually leaving it on purpose” Viktor said walking toward the map. He took out his phone and started inserting the names of each street each body was left at. The sight of the pictures made my heart shatter for them, most of them wer

Anastasia:I smiled at mum who entered the house by my side “welcome home, love”“It feels good to be home” she said tightening her grip on my hand making me smile.She was surprised when I called her to come and pick her up. Elijah’s words were still fresh in my mind for the next ten days as I debated on whether or not to bring her back home.She looked around the living room, smiling at the sight of her neat house. I had to get it cleaned as to ensure that no stains were left here or there after Elijah and I’s random selections of time or place, and though I do clean up; one could never be too sure.The nurses walked inside with their suitcases. I still needed their help to ensure that mum was okay, and judging by the fact that I knew that her health was deteriorating; I couldn’t risk anything happening to her while I wasn’t around or she was alone. The two nurses being by her side was good enough for me.“I’ll show you to your suite in a bit. It has your own bathroom and a televisi

Anastasia: “Hold on” I said getting out of bed. I was wearing Elijah’s t-shirt and pair of shorts as I slept at the Estate last night. The funny part was, mum didn’t even bother calling to check on whether or not I was alive after Elijah picked me up for work yesterday. I was actually surprised that he did to begin with. He usually never did, it was me who drove to the Estate. Anyhow, one thing lead to the other, and having gotten caught up with work, he wouldn’t let me go home at around midnight. “You can barely walk considering your cramps, and yet you’re coming to help me with my shirt?” Elijah teased as I buttoned his shirt. That was actually the main reason why he didn’t let me go home late last night. Having gotten my period earlier that morning, the cramps started getting worse at around noon, and having caught on to that; Elijah was determined on spoiling me to the maximum. “I can’t stay in bed all day, a painkiller would work. We still have work to do” I said as I focused

Anastasia: “You’re kidding, right?” I asked Blake who just called me to inform that another Z case appeared. Only difference is, this time it was in an aisle by the station, but that’s not what was concerning us; the man wasn’t caught on camera. “No, I am literally saying the man wasn’t caught on any cameras. The cop who was on duty was slaughtered and was left by his police car” Blake said sounding alarmed. I ran out of the Estate’s office, heading toward the door. Aunt Nikita wouldn’t let me go out unless I drank my coffee, and a while into that, Sebastian and Viktor came. Therefore, work at the station was delayed a bit. “I’m on my way over” I said heading to the front door. “What’s going on?” Aunt Nikita asked frowning. Her and Iris walked toward the door, Sebastian and Viktor were following close behind already picking up on the situation. “I need to head to the station, can you have Elijah and Yaroslav come if they’re not busy?” I asked and she nodded. I left the house with
