Rose looked at her watch; it was three in the morning. They needed to get going, and the bar was almost closing.“One more drink,” her mother, who had her head on the table, whispered.“Mum, no, it's late, we have to leave,” Rose got up and tried moving her but she was too heavy.“No, no, Rex and I are still having fun,” Patricia replied and asked her to leave instead. “Why are you so uptight? Live a little before your new husband gets tired of you and begins fucking around.Rose stared at Rex, giving him a warning look.He looked at his watch; they had enough fun, and Peter was obviously asleep due to old age, he joked to himself.“Rose is right, we need to leave,” he replied and got up.Rose stared at him, he looked too fit for someone who had consumed a lot of alcohol.He slowly helped Patricia up. “You are now becoming boring,” she said to him. “Are you scared of my daughter? Or playing nice?”“We can still make another late date,” Rex replied.Patricia lifted her head. “Are you s

Rex got up from the bed, it appeared the old man did not take a bad fall.He joined Rose at the door and wrapped his arms around her.“Calm down, sweetheart,” he whispered in her ear, his eyes fixed on Peter Banks.“No, no, I will not calm down!” she moved away. “I am only trying to sleep, is it a crime to get some sleep!” she yelled.“Not when you have given my enemy access to this house!” her father yelled.Rose breathed in and out, she had enough of him pointing fingers at her husband when he had not done anything wrong.“What exactly did I do?” Rex cut in.“How dare you ask me such a stupid question!” Peter roared at him.“It looks like you are not ready to reason!” Rex replied, pulled Rose into the room, and shut the door on Peter’s face.“What the heck! You swine!” Peter began banging on the door.Inside, Rex grabbed the pillows and pulled Rose into the bathroom. The banging on the door was less noisy in the bathroom.“I guess we have to sleep in the bathtub today,” he said.Ro

Rex remained seated in the kitchen, eating and getting updates from his watchers as if he had no idea there was a family meeting going on upstairs about him.“The transparent untraceable cameras can still work as long as we avoid certain rooms,” one of the watchers advised.“No, it's too risky. The second he finds the cameras, I will be exposed,” Rex texted back.“But sir, we can't work blindly. We are called watchers for a reason and without our eyes, you have no advantage over your enemy,” they texted back.Rex stared at his phone. They were right, but it was too risky. Putting cameras in rooms that already had cameras was like putting a bomb in one's own room.“Find a way to hack into the existing cameras. I know this is NSA property, but if you can hack the facial recognition system, then you can outsmart their surveillance,” he added and offered them more money.He heard footsteps coming down the stairs forcing him to quickly switch to social media and began scrolling through the

Rex quickly sensed that she was angry and stopped what he was doing.“Rex, escorting you to your ex’s court session is one thing, but you inviting my mother without my permission smells of a motive,” she replied. “My mother is the NSA Director’s wife. What do you think people are going to say when they see her seated in the audience?” she asked.Rex rubbed his temple“Rose, your mother is now my mother-in-law and will be there to render her support,” he replied.“Support you in what?” she asked. “You want to provoke Dad, right? You want to drive him to the edge?” she laughed.“Rose, you are starting to sound like your father. Anyway, if it's offensive for your mother to tag along, then I will ask her to remain behind,” he replied and quickly walked out of the room before she could reply.Rose chuckled in disbelief, taking a seat. She needed to cool down first.In minutes, the door opened and her mother burst in, fuming.“What's wrong with me getting a first-class seat to the sentenci

“What the heck is going on!” Rex yelled at them and ordered them to put their house in order.“Sir, we all knew it was going to be tough taking down the director of the NSA,” one of the watchers replied. “So please do not expect things to go your way as if we are dealing with Chelsea.”Rex looked back at Rose, the sex tape did not look good on him. He was going to be the first suspect.“I know we are blind but we are supposed to predict our enemy’s every move,” he countered and asked if they had an idea who would leak the sex tape.“We are looking into it, sir,” they replied and promised to get back to him.“Hurry, we do not have time,” he ordered, putting his phone back. He casually walked back to his wife.“Rose, we need to go,” he said and grabbed her arm.Rose turned pissed, surprised he was still around.“Didn't you say, you wanted fresh air?” she asked.“Yes, but something came up, and I want you to know that I did not do it,” he replied Rose analysed him, trying to study him.
