“Shit!” Seth said, slamming his fist on the wall in anger. Carlos who was beside him was silent as he placed his hands in his pockets. They were at the warehouse now and before them was a sea of dead bodies. Carlos clenched his jaws in disappointment. His men hadn’t been able to hold off Rylan Daystar. He thought they stood a chance considering the numbers. But as usual, Rylan showed him what a formidable foe he was. This made him crack a smile. “I knew this would happen,” Seth continued. He had known his plans would be thwarted by Rylan. He always had a knack for ruining things. Especially things that belonged to him. Seth had known that he would go to find Lana immediately after he left the party. He had told Carlos about this and he looked very relaxed about it. That was the same expression he had on now. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” Seth asked Carlos who was busy looking around the warehouse calmly. He reminded him of Noah and how nonchalant he usually was. Carlos seem

Frederick and Karen McCullough walked into the room. She closed the door with a smile on her face as he made her way towards the free chair behind the desk. She pulled it out and held it for her father as he took a seat. Seth was staring at them in surprise. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. How did McCullough know Borges? He had seen them at the party, but he didn’t think that they would have something to do with Carlos. None of this made sense. “You’re working with Frederick McCullough?” Seth asked, barely hiding the surprise in his voice and he turned to Carlos. Carlos smiled at that. “I’m glad you all are acquainted with each other.”Seth raised an eyebrow at him. “Acquainted? His daughter had a secret share in the casino,” he revealed. Frederick turned to Karen in surprise. Karen, who was standing behind her father, gulped hard. She turned to Seth and glared at him. Of all the times he could reveal that he had to do it when her father was around. Frederick was stunned

Jain tried to put the pieces together. It made perfect sense. The killer had been on a mission to get something that was in the empty freight they had found wide open. Or someone. It had to be Lana. Rylan had been looking for Lana. And he had murdered all those men to get to her. That was cold-blooded. What scared her most was the endurance he had to take down all those men. The killings were all precise and had been done by one man. And that man was Rylan Daystar. Jain sighed and rubbed her forehead as she tried to digest this. She had been so eager to put the pieces together, but now she was feeling a bit of regret as she did so. She also felt that she would regret it when she found out about the killer. She was close. She could feel it. But she wasn’t there. Rylan watched Jain grow silent before him. Williams, who had been standing by the kitchen door, shook his head in disappointment and walked off. Rylan knew what he meant. He shouldn’t have told her that. She had every right

Rylan threw the glass of scotch and it smashed into pieces in the fireplace making it roar for a few moments. Lana who was sitting behind him on the couch startled right. Rylan was mad that Jain hadn’t listened to him. She had thought it would be a great idea to involve her. She was the only person in the force she could trust. The only one that would stand for Justice. This was why she had chosen her. But that turned out to be a bad plan. Rylan was furious that he hadn’t been able to convince her to help them. What was worse was the fact that he had confessed all the crimes he had committed to her. He had hoped it would help him gain her trust but he was wrong. Detective Jain Reynolds wouldn’t trust someone like him. To her, he was a criminal who deserved to be behind bars. And she had all the evidence she needed to put him there. The only thing he hoped for was that she wouldn’t go through with it. But he doubted that. Jain had worked so hard to get incriminating evidence on him, and

FIVE YEARS AGO…Jacob Whitely but his lips nervously as he watched Jain head towards the diner. He couldn’t let her do this to herself. She would be guilty after this all cleared. And that guilt was going to haunt her forever. He couldn’t let that happen. Jacob opened the car door and stepped out of it cursing under his breath. He reached for his holster by his hip and pulled out his gun, cocking it as he ran towards Jain. Jain could see a figure heading towards her direction in the darkness with lightning speed and she quickly turned around pointing the gun at the moving object. Jacob immediately halted his heels and raised his hands in the air. Jain looked at him flabbergasted. “What are you doing here?” She asked. “You think I’m going to let you do something like this alone?” He asked in return. Jain clenched her jaws as she glared at him. When she didn’t have a reply, she sighed and pulled the gun away from his face. Jacob whose heart was thumping hard against his chest sighed
