I continued running, not bothering to glance back. I couldn’t afford to lose a single second. I heard Jude in the distance, but I was at an advantage.I turned left that would take me to my house but knowing Jude, he probably already knew where we lived. Right after taking the left, I took the first alley and a shortcut to get to the street parallel to this one.Once I was there, I kept running, looking for a cab. I flagged a driver and jumped in.“Please take me to the docks. Fast.” The man saw my urgency and nodded, rushing his car through the streets. My phone beeped, and I glanced at it. It was a message from Mae, and all she said was: “Made it”Relief washed over me, giving me extra hope.I kept glancing over the familiar streets for Jude’s unwelcome figure or the car. And I didn’t see him. I hoped never saw him again.Ten minutes later we were at the docks, and I gave the driver a huge sum for the urgency, then jumped out of the cab and ran forward. My eyes scouted for the th

I sensed Jude’s eyes on me, but I worked hard to ignore him.Even when he wasn’t looking at us, I knew he kept watch. He said he needed to negotiate something with me. I wondered what it was.One thing I knew for sure. I was sick and tired of being in his world. By pulling Mae, Allison, Alex and I, back into his world, he put our lives in danger. I mean, I had literally failed to do the job his wife hired me for. If he didn’t kill me, Brittany surely would. “Do you think it was the photo that Linda’s parents posted that gave us away?” Mae asked under her breath.I wondered how he found us too, and that was my most likely guess. We had been so careful and that was our only slip up.No wonder I’d felt a premonition throughout the day. Didn’t I feel like someone was watching me while I and the kids got cotton candy? I should have packed us up and made us move that day. Instead, I ignored my instinct.I hope we get out of this alive.Finally, I shrugged my shoulders. I didn’t want Ma

Of all the things I expected him to say, that wasn’t one of them.“What?”A dark smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to revel in my shock. “Brittany’s family has been a nuisance to me and my circle for quite a while.”I’m able to regain my bearings. “Okay. But what does that have to do with me? If you and your powerful group of friends find it hard to take them down, what can I possibly do?”He was silent, looking at me with an intensity that made me uncomfortable, before he said. He was silent for a few seconds, looking at me with an intensity that made me uncomfortable, before he said. "First of all the inner circle are not my friends."“Right.”He went on. “And you’re a witness to take Brittany to court.”If not from the seriousness on his face, I would have laughed thinking he was joking.“Really? People like you go to court?”He rolled his eyes. “I got married in court.”“Mhhm. So that you’re reason for uprooting my life and bringing me here?”He clenched his jaw, starin

Jude sat at the head of the table, looking at the heads of the inner circle.“So Rick brought pack your little obsession?” Ernest asked after they finished discussing how to distribute their weapons that just landed.“What?” Jude narrowed his eyes at the man, before turning to Rick.Rick put his hands up defensively. “I didn’t call her that. Your wide did.”“What?” Jude didn’t understand, but was ready to pounce on someone. “You’ve been in contact with my wife?”“Of course not.” Jack grumbled “But your wife sure has been in contact with the media.”Jude didn’t understand, and was about to ring up Roman, when Samson silently pulled out a tablet, and slid it over to Jude.On the screen was Brittany, his ex-wife. She seemed to be on some interview, and dabbed gently at her eyes. She was spilling crocodile tears and sprouting lies.“He refused treatment. He refused help and continued to be obsessed with the woman.”Jude wanted to put his fist through the tablet.Instead, he calmly slid it

Jude sped up his car. Roman communicated with him through his in-ears. They were scouring the city all morning, and afternoon.Jude drove around himself, following the trail of where cameras had last picked up Cecilia.The traffic light showed red, and he stopped. While waiting, he realised there was training station nearby. He had asked Roman to get access to all camera footage of the city in the penthouse’ perimeter. From the traffic videos, there was no trace of them.His intuition told him to go to the station. They hadn’t tracked there. So Jude parked his car, and called Roman.“Bring my men to the central train station. I’m heading downtown.”He ended the call, ans thought, if a woman wanted to run away, she would definitely take the furthest stop away from the city.And so, that was where he went. ***Jude stepped off the train and immediately knew something was wrong.The station platform was crowded, but nobody was acting normally. People were rushing in one direction. S
