ALEXA'S POV.Four days later. (September 1st. Wednesday.)What am I gonna do? I feel so stupid as I'm in the middle of things that I can't comprehend. Everybody around me seems to be suspicious.My godfather. My husband. Even my friends.Weirdly, we don't always talk like before, and I have a theory about why?It's because they're scared that they might let something slip.I already feel stupid, but I wonder if they actually think that I'm that stupid to not notice those kinda things.Wait... I need to put these things together from the time my doubts all started.I leaned back on my office chair as I circle around in thoughts searching for the time my suspicions started arousing.Oh yeah. I was in the hospital, and they made a statement about how my pregnancy shouldn't be in the way of my going back to work. It shouldn't be suspicious, except for the fact that they changed their thoughts, and that I should wait til I give birth.That was suspicious, right? Enough for me to suspect th

LEONARD'S POV.2nd September. Thursday.I entered my room and stared at my wife with a smile as she still slept soundly on the bed. It was a long night yesterday, so she's probably really tired to still be sleeping til now since it's already nine in the morning.I don't really have much to do until I find out the time when the truck containing the drugs will arrive, so I'm guessing I'll be home for a while.At least, my wife won't be alone for a few days, cause I know that after Tuesday the war has officially begun.We're already in a new month, and my wife has been pregnant since June. The days are counting, and in the next five months, bad things can happen if I don't play my games well.My dad is no longer hiding. He's showing himself which means he's ready to do something bad.I sighed and walked up to her. I lay on the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead."Hey, baby. Wake up."She was still unresponsive.I planted a kiss on her lips. "Wake up. It's morning."She let out a breat

EMILY'S POV.3rd September. Friday."My wife complained about you guys being up to something, but I never would have thought what it was. It's very risky for you guys to be involved." He told us.I shook my head at him. "We've gone too far to back out, Leonard. Your dad needs to answer to justice."He nodded. "I know.""You never knew your dad, but how did you know about his business?" Phoebe asked.He chuckled in disgust. "Marrying Alexa wasn't my wish. My dad used someone against me to bench me."I and Phoebe glanced at each other at the information."Who?" I asked."My mom." He dropped.My eyes widened. "Your mom?"He nodded. "My mom is in his hands, so I had no choice, but to comply with him. Although, I don't regret it now."I smiled. "That's good to know, so what's your plan?""Well, my plans involve you since you're a detective."I furrowed my brows in confusion. "What do you mean?""I've told you everything already, but my dad being a syndicate leader is what we are going to u

EMILY'S POV."Hey, Melendez," I called with a smile and walked to sit on my chair.He creased his forehead at me with a smile forming on his face as I sat down. "Wow. Is the AWOL girl back to work, or what?"I tilted my head at him. "Come on partner, I wasn't AWOL, just busy."He slowly nodded. "OK. So did you get anything?"I smiled at him and nodded. "Something big. It turns out we've been working on the same case all along."He furrowed his brows in confusion. "What do you mean?""My investigation about what happened to my best friend is connected to the syndicate group we've been after," I informed him, and it felt good knowing I'm now of help to him.His forehead was deeply furrowed as the news hit him. "You mean the syndicate was involved with her accident?"I nodded. "It turns out, and I have good news. We can stop them."He let out a shaky breath in relief. "Wow. That really is good news."I smiled. "I honestly wouldn't have thought.""You know who the leader is?" He asked.I

LEONARD POV.Two days later. (6th. September Monday.)"That's nothing to worry about. My dad doesn't know that I know about his illegal business. What he knows is that I know he's capable of bad things. He won't suspect I'm involved." I assured Emily on the phone."Alright, not to worry. We'll be ready when the shipment arrives."I nodded. "You know it really has to be under the radar. We don't want too much attention on it. We have to make sure someone is caught to determine our next plan.""What do you propose?"I narrowed my eyes in thought. "Well, I want you to know that there is no...yeah there's no innocent person there, so don't think because there's no evidence, you can't attack them. I know you guys have your rules, but this time you've got to play against them. You've got to close the book."I heard her sigh. "Then what should we do?""Immediately lessen their tires, so they'll have no choice, but to come down the truck. Don't talk too much to them, and cuff them immediately
