Anything on her?" He shook his head. "Sir, I really think there's no need to keep digging.""Don't tell me what to do." He snapped. "I know there's something."

Peter asked ignoring Elliot's question."No I don't but you haven't answered me dad." He said."I received these pictures in the mail today." He said taking off his glasses "Someone has been watching her." Elliot rubbed his face in frustration and sat down. What was Wanda up to?"How can you not know your fiancee has been meeting a man secretly?" Peter yelled. The older man was upset, not just because something was going on with Wanda but because it meant someone was stalking her and probably his son too."I'll talk to Wanda." Elliot said.

"Cherry I have something to tell you," Wanda said to her best friend. She had come to Cherry's place to avoid being around Elliot. What happened between them yesterday created a dent in their already ailing relationship. Running into an ex wasn't a big deal, she didn't need to feel hurt or upset but Elliot's reactions and the way he had been behaving made her feel in a way she couldn't explain.
