Erin swerved her car into the parking lot of the apartment building. She rushed out and took the elevator to the fifth floor. The building was a bit run down and she had used it as a cloak to who she really was. No one in the police force knew she was from a wealthy and powerful family who helped her mask her identity. She got to her apartment to see the door had been broken down, she got in to see the manager kneeling on the floor, his hands up in the hair. There was no one beside him. “What happened here? Are you okay?” She rushed to him, trying to help him up. Taking out her phone, she wanted to call 911 but then, a knife was hurled at her. “Fuck!” She cussed as the knife cut through her hand and fell to the floor, she whirled around to see Jonathan with two men coming from the door. None of the men were police officers. “You are here…” Jonathan said with a wicked smirk on his face. “What do you want?” Erin wasn't surprised to see him there. “I will go straight to the point.

Ethan went silent, his eyes moved, recognizing Jonathan who was at the forefront of the men and then he glanced at Eva who was shaking on the couch. Her head was buried in between her folded legs and a gun was pointed at her head.The odds were against them. The men were armed and they were so close to Eva. His priority was to save her but any wrong move he made now, a bullet would definitely go through her head.“It’s nice to meet you again, Ethan Blackwood.” Jonathan stepped into the house, majestically like he owned the place. There was a permanent sneer on his face, belittling Ethan.“Do I know you?” Ethan asked with a confused gaze, adding a smile to the mix. His hands were folded behind him and his stance showed that he wasn’t afraid at all. He knew never to show his fear to the enemy.“Ohh…” Jonathan looked taken aback by that question as anger flashed in his eyes. How dare a flimsy human, like Ethan not know him? He wanted to lash out but then he kept calm, knowing he came fo

“You don't want to speak, right?” Ethan was livid by his absurd proposal. He stumped toward the police officer and smashed his feet on his back. Ahhh!!Jonathan’s scream echoed through the room and the breaking sound of his hand could also be heard. His eyes had turned bloodshot and he breathed heavily. “Kill me! Kill me and you will never find her!” Jonathan threatened and then hissed. “If I am going to die, she is going to die with me!” He continued. Ethan waved his hand through his head, in worry. He was about to raise Jonathan, so he could deal with him but the ambulance arrived. He turned around to quickly carry Eva out of the there and soon the paramedics were set to leave with her.Thankfully, her life wasn't in danger and they only had to remove the bullet in her leg and also give her blood. “I will go with her,” Ethan said to Ray. With the mysteries surrounding Eva, they couldn't leave her by herself. However, Ray wasn't even listening because he just received informatio

“I can't seem to take out the thought that I caused their deaths. If I wasn't so persistent about the case, Jonathan wouldn't have targeted them.” Erin cried while she held Ethan’s hand for support. However, he pulled her in to embrace her, giving her comfort. He was a bit shocked by the news of those deaths, he wasn't surprised that Jonathan could pull off such a thing. “It's okay. It's going to be okay.” He whispered, patting her back.“How is it going to be okay? That bastard is probably out there and looking for his next victim.” She pulled away from the embrace and fisted her hands angrily. “If I get my hands on him! I am going to–”“What are you going to do?” Ethan chuckled while smiling. “This is not a laughing matter! I want to kill that bastard! I'm going to lose my job anyway and I do not mind taking him down with me.” She hissed angrily but she noticed the smile on Ethan’s face only grew wider. She glared at him, “What?” “What if you can get your hands on him now?” Et

Ethan stared at Jonathan coldly, not even feeling an ounce of remorse. He figured that the other prisoners too would be just like Jonathan and they deserved whatever was being done to them. If he didn't subdue Jonathan, Ethan would have been dead instead. It was dog eat dog world and only the strongest could survive. “Let’s go in.” Ray pointed out. There was another double metal door before them. Ethan guessed they would finally be out of the prison area. Ray opened the door and held it for Ethsn to cross through. He did and he entered into the next area which was painted all white. It was a meeting room and it wasn't empty.“Welcome.” Four men stood up to their feet immediately when they sighted Ethan. However, Ethan stood frozen, wondering what was happening. Where did the men come from? “Ethan Blackwood.” One of the men called out to him and then pointed at the head of the table. “You may have your seat.” Ethan looked at Ray who looked back at him with a reassuring look. He t
