A Touch of Memory and Revenge 17. Another arson
Isabella walked into the office with as much confidence as she could muster to face the day. Not only was she praying for strength, she was also praying for tolerance to conquer her partner’s excessive attitude.When she got to her desk, or table rather, she was shocked. The entire office was empty. She checked the time and saw that it was just a few minutes past six in the morning. Someone must have come in to work right?, She was not the first and only person right?, She tried to give herself that encouragement.Setting her desk for the day took longer than expected because she had to sort through the file. By the time she was done exactly forty five minutes later, Hayden waltzed into the office. This was the last person she wanted to see first thing in the morning. Deciding to not even talk to him, she pulled out her iPad and got to work.The only thing was that she was noticing all of Hayden’s movements. Not because she was focusing on him or watching him but because he was intenti
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 18. " Your eyes are beautiful"
Johan drove like a mad man, he was sure that he was going to be getting a speeding ticket after the way he was driving. GPS had estimated the time to get to the crime scene as thirty five minutes, he got there in eighteen minutes.He spotted Lucas immediately he crossed the yellow tape, making the mistake of touching the tape with his bare hand. A flash of an officer’s memory where he saw the man eating gross food entered his mind and he kicked it off immediately.“ Hey… “, he called, jogging to meet Lucas.Lucas turned at the sound of his voice, “ nobody has gone in, you’re going in for a reading”, he said.Johan raised a brow at him, “ really? “, he asked looking stunned. “ with these people around? “ he asked looking at the persons who were around the scene.He saw Liam talking to the fire service man and then Isabella at the other end, talking to a kid. Hayden was not seen yet.“ Are you sure it’s okay… “, he whispered to Lucas.Lucas sighed, “ except you have a better option, then
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 19. Isabella drives Johan home
Isabella kept on throwing confusing glance at Johan as she drove the car, driving him home. He wanted to ask her how she would get back to the station but then remembered that she would take a cab to the police station or even use his car if she wanted.Isabella looked at Johan again for the umpteenth time since she started driving him that night. He looked like he was going to collapse or something.It didn’t take long for them to get to Johan’s house, or rather mansion. After seeing his home, she now had an idea of why the guy was wearing expensive things. The mansion looked so huge and she wondered how many people lived there. Maybe his father was a senator or someone high up the ladder. She sighed. Johan came down from the car and knocked on the gate. He kept on banging until some one answered, and then, the huge Gates opened. She wanted to ask what she would do to the car but then he turned as if remembering that she was there for the first time.“ You can drive the car back to
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 20. The case takes a new turn
Erik passed the paper over to the man and woman sitting on the other side of the table in the room. They picked it up and he could see the satisfaction in their eyes but then, their attorney took the paper from them, checked it and scoffed.“ I think you can do more than this Storm. You’re insulting us here…”, he said dropping the paper and pushing it back to him. Erik looked at Brandon, who was only sitting in just so he would have another legal counsel in the room.“ actually, that’s the most we can do, my hands are tied…”, he admitted.The lawyer defending the family snorted, “ you’re joking if you think this offer would get us to drop the lawsuit…”, he said.Erik smirked, already getting the reaction he wanted, “ no, I know it wouldn’t, I just wanted to see what you guys were after and it turns out that you were after money… ”, he concluded, turning to face the man and his wife.“ Did he tell you that he was going to help you get money if you filed a lawsuit, well he lied because a
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 21. Brothers and the case
Johan woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He groaned as he rolled over, trying to find the annoying device with his eyes closed. When he couldn’t find it, he groaned, grateful that it had stopped ringing. So he continued to sleep. His ringtone blared again, this time louder than before as if it knew that he was intentionally refusing to pick it up.“ Damn!, Who’s calling this early in the morning…”, he whined, turning around so he could properly find the phone with his eyes opened.He saw the phone on the floor beside his shoes and wondered when and how it got there.He knew that he had been so tired the previous day after his reading and had failed to keep track of his activities and mouth, by the way.Johan winced when he remembered what he had said to Isabella, ' your eyes are beautiful', he groaned, answering the call.“ hello…”, he answered. Whoever the person was, he hoped it was not that urgent.“ Hello Johan…”, Isabella’s voice sounded from the other end of the call. S
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 22. The case briefing (2)
Johan walked into the station with Erik trudging behind him. He had somehow convinced his brother to follow him to the station with the help of Lucas. Of course, Lucas was not going to let this opportunity of gathering more information about the case pass him by.“ I don’t like being here”, Erik grumbled as they crossed the front entrance.Johan rolled his eyes, ignoring his brother. He had been whining since Johan learnt of the matter. Johan had called Lucas immediately and told him of the recent development and Lucas had asked him to bring Erik to the police station and if possible, he should drag the guy to the station.Johan led the way to the crime investigation division with Erik trolling behind him. They were waiting for them for the meeting they were supposed to have that morning.“ this place is too crowded, how do you guys work here?, Everybody is doing one thing or the other“, Erik asked him as they entered the office.“ How do we work here?, You mind your business. That is
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 23. Under threat
Erik sighed, something he has been doing since that morning when he woke up. He had not expected for the case to turn out like this, it should have been something simple. As simple as convincing the families to sign the settlement agreement and give his client the promised result. Yet now, he was sitting down in the police station, trying to figure out if his client was responsible for their deaths or not.He sighed, “ I can’t believe this is happening!”, he spoke out.Honestly, if he could turn back the hands of time, he would take time back to the day he signed Mancap foods as a client. Representing them was starting to look like his worst mistake.“ You usually have better luck when it comes to the clients you take on. What happened here?”, Lucas asked him in a whisper.Erik turned to face him, the only person in the room with him. Yes, before he took a case, he would always do a background check but this time, his private investigator had been out of the country and he had simply
A Touch of Memory and Revenge 24. "Open up or I'm going to force the door open! "
Isabella parked her black Mercedes Benz along the road rather than driving into the parking space in front of the house. There was a reason she did that, it was so that their flight would be easy. She turned off the ignition and climbed out of the car. Johan followed her out too, shutting the door behind him and walking around to meet her on her side.“ This his house?”, Johan asked her.Isabella nodded, “ yes, that’s what the address says”, she replied looking at the paper in her hands. The house looked desolate and she doubt that someone was living there. She led the way to the front porch, kicking things out of the way.“ I don’t think someone is living here. They probably left or something”, Johan voiced.Ignoring him, she raised up her knuckles and knocked on the door. She was starting to regret letting him tag along with her. That is what you get when you investigate a case with a rookie, they question your every move. For all she knows, the owners of the house could have been p
