"Sir, should I come with you?" Jack asked as he parked the car."Jack, why are you being like this? I already told you that nothing can happen tonight. Of the six other people in the party, there are only two people that we don't get along well with. Cecilia is not someone who can do anything to me, I mean, she doesn't hate me to the extent of killing me. And Jason, if he tries to do anything, the rest of them will stop him."Jack looked at Harlan for a long time through the mirror."You shouldn't trust everyone."Harlan chuckled, "I won't trust everyone, but you can't tell me not to trust Kelvin.""I am going to wait here for you. What time will the party be over?""I don't know. It might be throughout the night.""Call me if anything seems wrong," Jack said.Harlan gave Jack an unruffled smile. He wondered why Jack had been making a fuss about the party since yesterday.

Elizabeth closed her eyes. Damn it!Kelvin walked closer to Elizabeth. He was going to check what was bringing the light from her when the light went off. He shrugged. If she wasn't drunk, she would have raised her head with what he said.Jason came in, he was breathing heavily."What took you so long?""That girl is insane. She almost killed me while I tried to get her in the car.""Jason, we don't have a lot of time. Ten minutes are gone already.""I will get Elizabeth inside the car.""By the way, check her phone when you get her in the car. She seems to have had a call."Elizabeth was almost stiff.Jason hissed, "we don't have the time for that."Elizabeth let out a breath in relief. She quickly tucked the phone in back pocket.  Jason got to her and carried her up from the chair.She thought about springing a surprise on them a

"What? What do you mean Harlan is dead?" Elizabeth asked, shocked."Whatever it means to you. I'm sorry, Miss," Jack said and hung up.Elizabeth couldn't help herself, her jaw dropped to the floor and her eyes widened as she stared at the phone."We are home —" her driver started to say but was interrupted by Elizabeth's scream."I'm not going home!" The driver gripped the steering wheel and forced the car to a stop to prevent knocking into the wall of the Healy compound."Drive me to heaven. I want to go meet Harlan in heaven. Drive me there, now!"****Jack and Jason drove back to the hotel. They hurried to meet Roger and Adrian inside. Adrian muttered some nonsense words when they got inside."What's the next thing?" Jason asked in a whisper."We have to pretend as if we have been asleep all these while," Kelvin said and got beside Adrian on the floor.Jason sat on the chair and lay his head on the table. For some moment, there was silence before Kelvin broke it."I feel restless,

Jack stopped walking."I want to go with you everywhere you go," she added.Jack turned to look at her, "what?""I want to know who killed Harlan and make the person die in the worst ways he did kill Harlan."Maybe knowing who really killed Harlan would make her feel less bad. But really, she hoped that it wouldn't be Kelvin and Jason. She hoped they had just done some other things that day, nothing to do with Harlan. She felt a stab in her heart as she imagined Kelvin having a hand in Harlan's death. She silently prayed it wouldn't be so.****Harlan opened his eyes. He closed them quickly as he almost got blinded with the light. He had stayed long in the darkness that he found the light blinding. Some minutes later, he opened one of his eyes and allowed himself to adjust to the light. Some moments later, he was able to open his second eyes too. He felt a splitting headache as he tried to fathom where he was. He looked at his hand and saw that it was plastered. He looked up and saw

Elizabeth pressed the doorbell to the house Jack said Kelvin lives in. She took a deep breath as she waited for the gate to be opened. Some moment later, she saw a woman who looked like she was in her late forties open the gate. She smiled at Elizabeth."Good morning," the woman greeted first."Good ma'am. I am here to see Kelvin Marsha."The woman looked at Elizabeth suspiciously, "did he do something wrong?""What?" Is she aware that her son is up to something? Or has he been a notorious guy all the while?"I'm his mother. What did he do?" The woman asked."Nothing really. I am Elizabeth," she said with a fake smile. Since Jack informed her of Harlan's death, she had found nothing funny to smile about. She has no idea of what her life would look like when all these are over and they have found out who killed Harlan."Come in, Elizabeth," she opened the gate wider for Elizabeth to get
