That's the problem with girls. You trust them, they act all lovey-dovey this minute and the next minute they are doing what they know you hate most— Harlan was going to say this, but he kept his mouth shut for the moment. Chris wasn't asking that his problem should be explained to him. He needs a solution and probably some pieces of advice."So, what's your plan?" Harlan asked."I'm confused, you know, she is the only friend I have had since childhood. I didn't believe it when I heard it, but when I confronted her, she didn't say anything against what I accused her of. It was so heartbreaking.""Did she break up with you?""No. I flew in a week after I got to know about it. I couldn't concentrate on anything and we have an exam coming up. I needed to think. I didn't know it would be this difficult for me to come to a conclusion, but the more I think about it, the more confused I am.""You just need to take it easy

The couples glanced at each other in surprise, obviously, they didn't imagine that was going to be Harlan's question."If you are not going to tell me, forget about the deal. And, I am not ready to offer you any help for free. We all know you don't deserve my help," Harlan said when they both didn't say anything.Mr Allen sighed and shifted his weight to one of the legs."You really want to know?" He asked."Yes."Mr Allen glanced at his wife. She shrugged.Harlan prepared to hear the worst. Maybe his parents were even criminals or worse still; drug addicts who needed their 'thing' so badly that they thought Harlan was the right thing or probably the only property left to sell."What exactly do you want to hear about them?" Mr Allen asked quietly."Are they still alive?""Yes. They are very much alive and healthy," Mr Allen answered.That brough

Harlan was panting as he rushed inside the hospital. He saw a doctor talking to a nurse and rushed over to them."Where is Elizabeth?" He asked, trying to control his breath.The doctor frowned, "who are you?""You called me and told me Elizabeth got into an accident." Harlan said, still breathing heavily.The doctor shook his head slowly, "I don't understand what you are talking about.""You might not be the one, but someone from this hospital called me and told me that Elizabeth got into an accident!" Harlan said impatiently.The doctor and the nurse both stared at Harlan as if he were some alien."I am not sure you are in the right hospital. As a matter of fact, there has been no case of emergency in this hospital for the past three hours, so I am not sure I am following," the doctor stared at Harlan.Harlan tried to catch his breath and took out his phone from his pock

Harlan waited until the last person in the bar had gone some distance away from the bar before he opened the car and got down from it. He walked inside the bar and saw Jack and the two guys sitting across one another. Harlan went to them and sat down beside Jack. The two guys were smoking heavily. Harlan wasn't going to mind that if it would make him get something about the Alberts to help in Wallace Stone's revenge.Harlan cleared his throat and folded his hands on the table."What is your name?" He asked the guy whose tooth had gone off earlier.The guy shrugged, "I don't think that matters..." But when he glanced at Jack, he shrugged again, "Simon is the name."Harlan glanced at the other guy, "you?""Andrew.""So the two of you have been working for the Alberts for twenty years?" Harlan asked even though he knew it wasn't necessary. He was just trying to get the guys to talk. Their

"I need the list of names of people in this college, especially the names of the students in our department," Adrian told Elizabeth when they got to a quiet place and away from any prying eyes."Are you planning a surprise for us?""No. I need to get someone's name."Elizabeth frowned, "you can ask for anyone's name if you feel like it and they would tell you.""You don't get it... I want to see the name for myself and confirm it.""Why? You are pretty popular with your hair so I don't see any reason why someone would deny telling you their name if you asked," Elizabeth said."I just want to confirm a name. I need the list of names urgently.""If you can't tell me a convincing reason for what you need the name for, then forget about me giving you the list," Elizabeth said and started walking away.Adrian was going to tell Elizabeth that Harlan is claiming to be Harlan Smit
