Elijah turned to face the door; he was very much aware of Shelly's feelings towards Daniel, and that was why he was always against his boss partnering with her, especially since Cathy was alive.He always knew that it was a disaster waiting to happen and it leave his boss in another mess to clean up."What did you expect after all this was over?" He asked her.Shelly's mind was somewhere else, recalling all the hell she went through for Daniel. She even went so far as to have her finger chopped off while Daniel was obviously fucking Cathy in the same mansion she was sleeping.She was not delusional and Daniel always reminded her to control her feelings towards him and keep them professional but he would have respected her and told her about Cathy.Her tummy coiled up as she raised her eyes to meet Elijah's. The fool knew all this while and was probably always laughing at her.She turned and walked down to the basement, where she discovered a fully furnished apartment with Craig and Ra

The room became heavy for Cathy as she began moving backward. The man knew her name, and he looked very familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before."What are you doing here?" He asked again, analyzing her. She looked thin and disoriented as if she were locked up or something."Who…are you?" She finally found the words."I am Zain, Daniel's best friend...Don't you remember me?" He asked.Cathy stared at him, trying to think hard."Daniel's best friend is my brother Craig; you are lying," she replied, moving further back.Zain smiled, remembering the childish fights he and Craig would always have over who was the best friend or closest friend to Daniel.He put his bag down and took a seat. "The last time I saw you was at the party when Daniel just came back from Israel," he replied.Cathy remembered the party and finally remembered the face: "Oooh, you are Daniel's weird computer hacker friend." She remembered. "You look different; you got rid of those glasses,"

Rachel kept staring at him; she had spotted his quick grimace that turned into seriousness in seconds. He looked more than happy to discover that Daniel's phone records were deleted.She wondered if he knew about the thing inside Daniel. According to the useless partner, the artifact was capable of doing unimaginable things, which only meant Daniel was capable of deleting his records, or maybe it was the useless partner she kept debating within herself."Am I allowed to go?" Zain asked."Craig, go and get me a takeaway," Rachel ordered."Mom, we can drop by the joint on our way out." "No, I want you to go and get me the food; I do not feel like moving," she replied, assuring him that she was not going to kill Zain."Chinese for me, and do not worry, there is nothing that your mother can do to me that I can't handle," Zain winked at him."Dude gross!" "Just joking," he laughed out loud.Craig gave his mother a warning look before leaving.As soon as he was out of sight, she leaned fo

Daniel slowly opened his eyes; they did not feel heavy but instead were light, as if he had just gotten up from a long, good nap. His body felt light too, there was no pain or any heaviness in his chest like previously.He quickly got up from the small bed and looked around. He was still in the small lab."Rexa?" He called out."DANIEL, GET BACK TO SLEEP; YOU ARE STILL WEAK," she advised."How long have I been here?" He asked."ONE WEEK AND THREE DAYS." Daniel froze in horror."THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I MANAGED TO RETRIEVE ALL THE RADIATION," she announced."What's the bad news?" He asked."I HAVE NO ENERGY, SO SHOULD YOU GO OUT THERE, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU, she replied.Daniel was quiet; all the energy they were saving for his aunt was wasted on him. His enemies dragged him back to square one. He closed his eyes, his hands clenched into fists."AND THERE IS SURVEILLANCE AROUND THIS PLACE; SOMEONE FOUND YOUR CAR, SO I WOULD NOT ADVISE GOING OUTSIDE," she advised.Daniel was

"Sir, should I take a shot?" The sniper kept asking, but Gabriel's mind was at a loss as he took a seat."Sir, should I stand down?" The sniper asked.The earlier plan was to shoot Shelly point blank as soon as Gabriel walked away. But the sniper was confused to see a man talking to his boss and getting the briefcase.The photo he was given was of a woman with blond hair, not a man."Sir, the person you were talking to is getting away. Should I stand down?" The sniper asked, but Gabriel's mind was astray.Josh, who was still in the hospital and heard the entire conversation between Michael and his brother, was left numb in his bed. The part that hit him the most was the Cathy part. He laughed out loud and now understood why Rachel was all over the place looking for Daniel like some obedient pet.The duo was the most unexpected pair that he had not expected to work together, but he now understood why. Daniel faked Rachel's daughter's death, then concentrated on sending Mateo to prison
