Alarick barged into the guest room where Charlotte was being held. He held a VCR in his hands and dropped it on the side table. Charlotte stood in shock at his abrupt entry. He walked closer to her causing her to scuffle backwards."What are you doing?""Are you ready to talk?" Alarick asked.Charlotte folded her arms and sat down on the bed."I have nothing to say to you.""Maybe you will when you see what I have."Alarick turned on the television and plopped in the tape. The screen turned on and Charlotte's face popped up. The video showed when Dylan walked over to her table and joined her. Alarick watched Charlotte as she looked dumbfounded. She started to wave her hands."No. Alarick, this isn't what it looks like."Alarick pointed at her accusingly. "I knew you were full of shit. You were seeing Dylan, at the Cafe near your firm. There is literally evidence to prove it." "I swear, that isn't what happened. I did see him, yes but I didn't contact him to come."Alarick scoffed.

Alarick pulled up to his mansion and drove his car into the garage. He entered his home and went straight to his room. He passed the guest room where Charlotte was being held making a mental check to go back the next morning and speak to her again to try and get her to confess. Once Alarick got into his room, he plopped down onto his bed and sighed. He had expected Scarlet to come onto him but he didn't expect her to kiss him like that and he also didn't expect to like it. It's not like he wanted to have an affair with her but when you haven't been intimate in a long time, it takes a toll on you sometimes .Alarick sat up and removed his jacket and shoes. Apart from Scarlet kissing him, he had a good time especially with the food. He stood up and took off his clothes until he was in only his briefs. Alarick's eyes landed on his laptop across the room. He hadn't spoken to his father in some time. He would have to call first thing tomorrow but right now he had to rest. He took a show

Alarick and the rest of the men in the station had geared up. Each man wore a kevlar vest complete with a gun, baton and holster. The equipment the station had wouldn't have been enough but Alarick had made a call for that also. The hired men came with their own legal equipment.Maurice turned to all the men in the station."You all have your various locations and you all know the drill. Let's head out."Maurice led the way as all the men went outside and occupied their various vehicles. One by one, each car left the lot of the police station heading on their own assigned destination for Dylan and his accomplices.Alarick turned to Maurice as they sat in their own police vehicle and spoke before they moved."Are you sure this is the right call?""We have to be as inconspicuous as possible.""And you think that driving around in a cop car is inconspicuous. We might as well turn on the sirens and scream out that we're looking for Dylan and his men."The two men at the back of the car th

It all happened in slow motion. There were two gunshots but only one bullet ended up lodged in Alarick's body. Alarick was pushed back by the force of the close range shot. His back hit the top cap of the booth before he fell back down on the table in front of him. Blood splattered and pooled on the table he just fell off. Maurice and the other officers acted quickly and rushed to the table. Maurice checked up on Alarick who was hunched over on the ground gasping for air while the other officers held Eddie down and restrained him. Maurice slapped Alarick's cheek in fear. "Alarick!" Alarick couldn't respond. He was winded from the shots but he could hear what was going on around him. "Fuck! Let go of me!" Eddie groaned. "Stay down bastard!" An officer replied. "Why the hell would you shoot me? Who the hell shoots the person they want to arrest?" He whined. "We shoot when the person puts other people in danger, now stay down." Blood dripped from the bullet wound in Eddie's shou

It didn’t take long as a contract was drawn up in the police station by Allison with Alarick’s help. Alarick stepped back into the interrogation room with the paper in his hands. He placed it in front of Eddie who took it quickly to read. Alarick waited until Eddie looked satisfied with the contract he held. Alarick took out a pen from his suit jacket and slid it over to Eddie. “Is there anything you would want to change?”Eddie shook his head.“No. Everything you said you’d do is in here.”“So, you’re ready to sign?”Eddie looked at Alarick for a bit more to make sure that he was making the right decision. He had tried to think about it while the contract was being made but he couldn’t come up with a straight answer. His mind was uneasy but this was the only way he saw out of the shit show he had made on his own. Eddie took the pen on the table, let out a breath and signed the paper. He passed it back to Alarick who made sure that the paper was signed. Alarick slid the paper away an
