After using his drugs, Colin changed into his pijamas and turned off the lights in his room, ready to go bed when someone stormed in

We fight almost everyday and in the end we make up but I've never seen Colin this furious""Jenny told me it's just one of the symptoms of lung cancer""I don't care if it is a symptom of lung cancer, he should always try to control it!" Emerald blurted out as her eyes got teary again"See, you do care about him""I don't!""You are just like him, you both don't like to admit your feelings""Don't compare me to him, we are both different" Emerald sniffed again.She tilted up her h

Shawn asked"Jackson Dream. I think he works with them too" Eric replied "About that..." The detective meddled "Our boys are on our way to get him""Really?" Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad

    135"Where in the world are we going?" Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel? I don't think someone like that exist, he is so sly and pretentious so much that he deserves an Oscar. Why are we wasting our time searching for someone when we should....." Before Shawn would complete his sentence, Eric stopped the car in front of a bungalow"We are here" he mouthed as he made signal for Shawn to alight."What is this place?"
