“You still won't talk to me?... Electra, it's been three days… Stop punishing me. Your silence is killing me… please.” Nikas begs, following Electra everywhere. Electra ignores him, sidestepping him as she moves things around the shop. Her face, set in annoyance and defiance. He stops her, gently grasping her elbow. “You're really killing me. Say something. Please… I've only got you.” “You should have thought of that before you decided to lie to me.” Electra shots at him, anger blazing in her tone. Nikas heaves. “Move.” She orders him as he stands in her path. “Oh, c'mon Electra. I'll die if you keep at this.” “You're not dead yet.” She lashes at him and tries to walk around him, but he jumps in her path. “You want me dead first?” Nikas asks. “If that'll get you to talk to me, then I'll die. By the ropes. Hang myself from the fan this very minute.” His remorseful eyes pleads. “So many sacrifices. I did all of it just to get you out. I thought -” she stops. “I'm sorry, Electr

“We’ve got him! He was rattled. Only a matter of time before he slips and we bring this one home.” Orion beams, his lips spread into a grin and his eyes sparkle with excitement. The day's session had turned out to be in their favour. Nikas could barely respond confidently to any of Anders' questions as he cross-examined him. Nikas' fumbling didn't help his case as he seemed to be contradicting himself responding to the questions asked. So far, they are winning. Not much, but a turn toward that direction. And that is enough to excite his partner, Orion. Anders however, doesn't share Orion’s sentiment. He is supposed to feel the thrill, but he doesn't. His mind is elsewhere, fixed on the woman his gaze kept drifting to all while as the session progressed. He remembers the fear in her eyes; how she tensed when he seemed to box her brother with his questioning. He felt every angst her pores emitted, the apprehension that her brother is likely to be locked up forever. But why isn't he

Absent-mindedly, Electra looks down at her feet as she places one foot before the other. Her hands are buried deep in the pockets of her baggy jeans, her hair; lose and framing her face, her mind is out of earth. She's lost in thoughts, deep thoughts, reflecting on the events of the day and wondering if Nikas ever stands a chance. They had plummeted down the path of failure in the session today and it saddens her. Nikas is innocent. Foolish but innocent and proving this is turning out to be more difficult than anticipated. She doesn't want Nikas to see how hopeless she has become, so she didn't return home with them. Her foot, without intention, kicks a pebble. She finds it distracting and she lets her other foot propel the stone further as she thinks. “Jeez!... Earth to Electra!” Someone calls beside Electra, panting and heaving deeply. Electra doesn't hear. She only looks at her side as her peripheral vision catches a moving figure. “Karl?” She calls in surprise. She looks be

“That bàstard! That bàstard! I'll kill him! I swear! I'll kill him!” Nikas charges, heaving, ready to run off after Hector. Slender, strong hands pull him back. “Where do you think you're going? What exactly do you want to do?” Electra questions, her tone is hard as though she's speaking to her child. “I'll kill him for touching you!” “And then what? You go back to jail? This time for the rest of your life? You want to give him a reason to walk away from his crimes? Are you even thinking, Nikas!” Nikas’ breathing slows. He takes a moment to consider Electra's argument. “Heck! This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you. Where's your sense of rational reasoning, man?” She asks. Nikas grows calmer. A sheet of shame clothes him and he looks away. She's right. She's stressed. And his lack of sensibility is adding to her anxiety. He knows she did not like the outcome of the event in the courthouse today. He had flopped in more ways than she could have ever expected. That's

“Get in the car, Electra.” Anders orders. His eyes scan the area around them looking to spot something. Electra cocks her brow at him. It’s takes Anders a moment before his gaze falls on her and he sees the expression on her face. “You’re in danger. Get in the car.” Anders tells her. He can’t seem to write off the thought that the hooded man he had seen is Hector, and he’s going after Electra for his punctured ego. Electra stands stunned, watching him act like a detective, bossing her around. Anders is behaving strangely. “So all of a sudden you’re worried for me? Where did all your hatred for me go?” “Jesus! Electra, now's not the time!” Anders fights to keep his tone low but fails. Electra frowns. Anders takes a deep breath. “I think Hector is planning a second attack.” Electra lifts her brow in question. “Is he? How do you know? Did he tell you?” Anders looks away, trying to think of a logical explanation. It’s complicated explaining all of this is just his gut feeling.
