When Thomas's eyes snapped open, everything was blurred at first. Stirring in bed, the phone ringing continued.Stilldrowsy with sleep, Thomas stretched his hand to the bedside table and took his phone.."Hello", he voiced in a husky tone."I really thought you died", the reply came from the other end."Huh?""I called you countlessly forgetting how much of a deep sleeper you are", he scoffed.Thomas drew the phone away from his ear to stare at the caller, he recognized the voice but his brain felt still a little foggy."Liam", he mouthed and the sleep vanished.He sat upright, "Liam!" A spread across his face.."Hey! Don't scream in my ears"."You're in town now?" Thomas asked with a chuckle."I'm pretty sure I informed you yesterday", Thomas imagined him roll his eyes."I have someone to show you man, our usual spot"."Liam come on..." Thomas tried objecting."No, you come on! Tom it's been long enough, how long more are you gonna keep mourning? You don't do nothing these days""I'

"God! I really could use an actual sleep on a real bed", he yawned."We signed up for this anyway", his partner yawned as well.Two juniors had been assigned to stake out at the particular location Carlton had given as a place Conrad would likely visit.They didn't have up to 24hours anymore to save Denzel but they weren't going to just give up. They've come this far and lost a lot. Justice for lives lost and the traumatized parents and friends left behind. More bodies were dug up in the backyards though some were not found yet.Crimson heights were in tears and fear. They would catch him by all means..Winston sat in his office, watching time, hoping for some goodnews. They had 3 hours left. He was literally praying.His phone buzzed with a message."I know what happened to Tania Williams".Winston stared at the phone in his hand. His heart beating fast. Was this a prank?He tried to call the caller but another message came in."21st street..."Winston stared at it. He knew that p

A week left to Denzel's death and Deborah had been buried, Conrad's pictures were all over town. The entire Crimson heights were looking out for him.More bodies were dug up in compounds, turns out Conrad had made it a hobby to kill and bury them for unknown reasons.Why in the first place would a man thirst for blood?He wasn't related to any of the girls.. their families had never done him wrong, so why then did the victims become his target or he was just a psychopath.Diana had taken a leave from the office. She had become a shadow of herself. The fear of Conrad still roaming the city taunted her. Three were dead already, not to mention the lots he has wasted already. At most times, she'd imagine him breaking into her house and taking her life.The more she thought about him, the more she felt guilty over the soul she was about sending to hell.How possible was it that Conrad's photo would be all over town and yet no sight of him. The cops now patrolled the city. Civilians were

The man tried consoling his wife. They had taken the corpse in for autopsy. The result was out and this must be the toughest for a cop.Reporting death to the deceased family.Winston walked into the room where they were waiting. The woman nearly pouncing on him, grabbed his shirt as her being shook, "that's not my angel right?" Her eyes were bloodshot.Winston bit his lips."I'm sorry", was all he could mutter.Her wailings filled the entire room, but Winston had one more question to ask. He couldn't definitely ask the mourning wife so he drew her husband aside, presenting a picture of Conrad before his eyes and asking, "do you know him?""No", the man shook his head."Please think well...", Winston urged him. He shouldn't be doing this in this situation but he needed answers. Winston had this hunch that conrad had something to do with the disappearance cases.The man took the phone from his hand, peering deeper into the picture before a 'yes' escaped his lips."I'm barely at home,

Diana couldn't stop her legs from shaking continuously. She'd never been that anxious in a long time. Not even the toughest case at court got her shaking like this and she was only here to see a man.They bundled him out and he didn't resist. Cuffing his legs and hands and Diana wondered what all of that was for.Turned out Denzel had finally lost his mind in his cell. The warder relayed to her, how he keeps claiming he's not from this word.She returned her gaze to a lost man that was staring at her but she was sure he didn't even recognize her presence. He was seeing nothing.A tear threatened to escape her eyes.She blinked them back and thanked the warder who left, giving them privacy.She put him in this situation. She couldn't even imagine await your deathday but that's what she did to this man simply because she wanted a better case that would bring money and fame."Mr. Williams", she didn't expect her voice to go out in a whisper.Denzel didn't reply. He just kept on staring a

Winston stared at her completely wowed at her narration. Her story does explain his unanswered question. They've tried searching Conrad Johnson up but the name nor face does not exist."So he's neither Matteo nor Jonathan nor Conrad and he didn't come from Neverdale either", Winston chuckled.."The face doesn't match. Isn't registered""Plastic surgery", they both said simultaneously and Winston nodded.How on earth were they supposed to track a guy with no roots, and Diana's narration didn't help so much. Winston needed a bait. Something to drag Conrad in with but it wasn't working. It might have been Deborah, but he can't reach her. Something also doubted his thought. A man like can't Conrad wouldn't care twice if Deborah died."I'm gonna head over to Ms. Harmsworth. See if she can get into his home and get Mrs. Johnson ", Winston said and Diana nodded.He stood ready to leave when he turned to her, "get well soon", he said to her."Thank you", she smiled lightly and he headed for

She blinked and looked away, walking in and leaving them standing."Hey", Felix voiced first and Addison simply smiled."You made it", she found her way to him and they went in together. She sat beside him and Felix stared at her. She simply smiled, "should I leave then?""Uh. No.. no. Sorry", Felix chuckled embarrassed. His gaze met with Katia's and she looked away almost immediately."You know her?" Addison asked."Met her once. She's friendly", he answered curtly and looked away. Since he drove in whilst in the cab, the sight was a wonder. Bulian university was huge and obviously for the wealthy. He saw why. The students were stunningly dressed, the cars they drove.... He looked around, even the air was welcoming. "He's coming!!" A girl squealed and ran in. He could see the smiles on the faces of almost all girls. He wondered who was coming. His eyes remained glued to the door.Soon, a guy stepped in.His head hung low and his palm tightly gripping his back pack. "Is he the one?"

Felix remained standing, staring at her in fear and shock like she was about to extract his soul or something. Katia didn't know what to say. Nobody told her he couldn't remember nothing, and he looked like one hell of a curious cat. If she could wipe his memory off right now, she would. All she could do, was spill the next trash that left her mouth, "aha! You fell for it", she clapped and walked back to sit with a chuckle. "Fell for what?" Felix didn't bother going any closer. "Never heard of the naughty daughter of the Atwoods? I guess I'm not so famous as I thought I was", she smiled, running her tongue over her lips. She wasn't one to apply lip gloss else she'd lick em all. "It was a prank. So sad I didn't get your reaction on camera" "You... Moving a chair with no contact was a prank? Really?", Felix finally found the courage to move closer. He took not more than four strides closer, "by all means..explain". Katia rolled her eyes visibly, "it's an invisible drone thing we wo

"Do i have to do this?" Felix sighed as he stared at his parents from inside the limo."You'd be leaving for college in two days. It's just a meet up", Luca explained to his son."You don't have to like her. Just think of it as a connection," Andrea smiled."A connection?" Felix chuckled, "you made me buy her a necklace that cost a million dollars", he arched a brow."The Atwoods are powerful and I suppose she has more expensive ones in her collections but it's called courtesy Felix", Andrea smiled."Let's get this over with", Luca smiled.Felix heaved a sigh as he arranged his suit.He did look a whole lot better, with his hair done and he in a suit. He really did portray a rich son maybe spoilt. He was gorgeous for his age.The door was opened for them and Luca stepped out first, he helped his wife out and Felix stepped out next.The flash of cameras was not expected. Felix covered his face in his suit immediately. He didn't want to be recognized just yet, what's with all these nosy

Victor stared confusedly, "brother, what are you doing?" He asked wide-eyed.Connor rose up, "fucking untie him already!" He yelled and the boys around rushed to untie Felix."I'm so dead", Connor cried.He turned sharply to Victor, his eyes bloodshot."How dare you drag me down with you!" He yelled and marched forward towards Victor who kept backing away."Brother, what are you talking about?" Victor asked still confused, not understanding a thing."Is he your brother?" Felix's voice finally rang out."What? No, young master!""Connor!" Victor yelled out, his eyes bulging by the second, threatening to fall out it's socket."He's not your brother, but you walked in here like you were ready to kill for his sake", Felix asked with a raised brow."No. Please Young master Stark", Connor fell to the floor.Victor heard an explosion inside his head.STARK!!!!"You... You're... You are .. you're a st... A Stark?" His eyes were surprisingly still in position."Ahh. I'm finished", Connor crie

"what?" Felix asked wide-eyed."Chairman Stark is your father. If everyone would be blind I refuse to be", she smiled and scooped a portion into her mouth."What makes you think that?""The fact you choked. If he wasn't, you wouldn't bulge. Besides, the resemblance is topnotch. I don't know if they're paid to act like zombies who can't think", Addison scoffed."Don't get ahead yourself Addison", Felix chuckled and Addison turned to stare at him with a smile. That would be the first she's heard him call her name in years and it felt good to hear that."Why are you smiling?" He snapped his fingers across her face."None of your business. But I am certain he is your dad. That's why you changed your last name. You didn't want any one to know, right?""I mean what else better explains the fact that the chairman got so involved with an intern. He was literally everywhere because of you", Addison scoffed.Felix kept thinking of the best way to sway her from her thoughts. That didn't need to

"you're all bigger now", Laurel exclaimed."Don't be overly dramatic", Felix rolled his eyes."Not bad", he smiled. They had gotten laurel a new home and she had taken over the hotel as Felix wished."I might give you a feast like your parents, but I prepared something", laurel smiled."I've missed your cooking", he smiled as she showed him his room. He freshened up from his journey and was changed into simpler clothes before joining his aunt at the table."How did you internship go?" She asked.Felix nodded, his mouth stuffed with food."It's really nice what mom and dad had built together", he answered, "how's the hotel?" He asked."I'm doing my best", she smiled.They both ate in silence until they were done."Thanks aunt". "Anytime", she smiled and stood to clear the plates, Felix joined her. "Aunt Laurel", he called her attention, "you'd never hide anything from me right?" He asked."Sure. What's this about?" "It's about my childhood. What was it like?"Laurel paused to stare

JUDGE:: Based on considerations, I hereby sentence the defendant to ten years imprisonment. This sentence reflects the gravity of offense committed and harm caused to victims and their families. ***The court session was over and Sawyer was led out. The rest of her accomplices were caught and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment including Randy but Laurel was sentenced to life improvement without the possibility of parole.The reporters were scattered outside as they led Sawyer to the van in cuffs. A tear slipped from Karina's eye as she watched her mom being taken away on TV. She hadn't gone for the court session, she stayed at the hospital with her dad. Kyle didn't attend either, but Kylan did. Karina jerked when she heard struggles, she turned to her father to see him struggling for his life, she dashed out to get the doctor but it was late, the old man had given up the ghost after seeing his wife on TV.Her tears could fill an ocean if they let her, the

The police had surrounded their residence the following morning and Sawyer was ready. She felt bitter at how things had turned out but not regretful, if she was given a chance to go back in time, she would have done exactly the same thing.Kylan had left earlier for work, he knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate but he couldn't stay and watch his mom being carried away. Karina on the other hand wouldn't stop crying, she hated the woman in front of her right now, but she still remains her mom, and she loves her mom dearly. Kyle had turned laurel in earlier that morning, along with the documents his mom showed him. He remained at Spencer's house, he can't watch his own mom being cuffed and taken out, then there's Cheryl."I would just stay here till my end comes" he had said to Spencer the night before.Mr Newton couldn't understand a thing that was being said, he didn't even hear it, all his focus was on Sawyer who couldn't look him in the eye."Honey" he would mutter every three sec

"shit!!"..."Spencer?!!" Cheryl called "Spence!""Uhh, Cheryl, yeah, can I get back to you, I'll find him" Spencer chuckled"Where is he?!" She yelled and he swallowed nothing."Where are you?" She asked."Somewhere?" His throat went dry."Address?""The bar by the bridge?""You guys drinking?!" She yelled"Don't move I'm coming!!" She yelled and ended the call."I'm dead" he cussed as he held the steering wheel tightly.In a few minutes, she showed up.."Where's he?" She asked."Get in, I'd explain on the way" he said and she got in, in confusion though."Okay, so he called me to meet up and before I could get here, I met him with...you" he dropped the bomb but her brain couldn't seem to process what he just said."And I'm surprised you just called me that you're not with him when you just drove off with...""You left him with laurel!!!!" She suddenly grabbed his hair."Ahhhh!!! Cheryl!!" He cried and she released him"I'm driving and I'm sorry, I didn't look well, we'll find him" h

Cheryl knew better than to be out at night, as it stands, her face was known to all citizens of Los Angeles. Laurel needed to go, Cheryl needed her freedom."Riley?" Cheryl called"Hmm""Should I leave?" She asked"Sorry what?""Maybe I should leave and come back when all of this is over" Cheryl muttered and Riley stared t her. It wasn't a bad idea now she thinks of it. Cheryl needed that break, not just Cheryl, all of them. She had just lost her twin and has been to prison already for some psycho who has her face, she needed that break, the whole family did."Now I think of it, it's not so bad" Riley smiled.She hasn't left their house since Cheryl returned, they've practically turned sisters."Y'all should go" she said."We all?""Yeah.. y'all...you, mom, dad.. all of you" Riley shrugged"All this would be over, I trust Kyle""I don't think dad would want to leave" Cheryl muttered."Well tell him you want to, if he won't, you should leave either ways" Riley stated."We can talk to K

Two days later...."Are you nervous?" Karina asked squeezing her palm"Not really" Cheryl breathed"More like curious... To know what's on the inside" she smiled, "you have a beautiful home" she complimented"Liar" Karina muttered and they laughed before stepping in."Welcome ma'am" the maids kept greeting"As expected" Cheryl smiled taking the beauty in as she stared around"More like searching for my brother's room" Karina teased"Fuck you" Cheryl chuckled and they laughed."To my room then" Karina giggled as she dragged her upstairs."Wow" cheryl gasped as they stepped in. It's in all white and pretty twice her own bedroom."You like?""Love... It's beautiful" she said walking to her closet"Mind if I do?" She asked and Karina nodded before she tore the door open"I could literally live in your closet" she gasped as they entered."I see you love collecting bags" she said and Karina laughed"Not my fault" Karina smiled"It's really nice""I know" Karina rolled her eyes"Fool" Cheryl

"Randy" Riley smiled as he approached her with a smirk playing on his lips"Little Miss Runner" he teased and she smiled trying to hide her fear."What brings you here?" She asked"Followed you" he shrugged"Followed me?""Yeah""How exactly do you know I'm here?""That's my problem, not yours" he smiled and took a step closer."Is something wrong?" She chuckled"You can sense it too?" He asked and she gulped trying to maintain her balance as her legs shook"I guess the full name's Riley" he smiled and that only worsened her situation"I see you did a background check" she smiled"You really don't have a family so that ain't completely background" he laughed and she felt the rage growing inside"You sure are interesting, I love your moves" he smiled still taking a step closer until their lips were inches away from each other and then God smiled at her as her phone rang.She blinked as he moved back abit and she picked her call"Just know you're buying me lunch" Kyle said and she smil
