"She will be here anytime soon." Oscar told Casey. "Are you sure you want to do this here?" Ben asked Casey."Yes? This has to be done right now because there has to be a stop to this." She said. Ben had known Casey for a short while now and through out that time he had never seen her get so angry and worked up before.There was a knock on the door. "I guess that must be her." Oacar said. He went to open the door. "I hope you have a good reason for asking me to come here." Mellisa said to Oscar as she entered the house.She was surprised to see Casey there. "What the hell is happening here?" She asked the question in a derogatory manner as those her presence there was more important than everybody present."Casey! I thought you said you were on your way to the airport?" She asked Casey. "Yea! That was the plan but I could not leave without sorting something out." She was casual when talking to Mellisa as if she was a stranger to her.Mellisa noticed it. "Why are you talking to me like
The death of James was a tragic one. The family of James did not know how to take the news. Shelly knew that there was only one erson that could carry out such an act but she was still going to do her investigationand not act out of assumption or intuition.The family of James believed that the accident that James was involved in, in the first place was caused by a mechanical fault.They had no idea that it was someone who tried to kill James. She would tell them after the burial and not now. Right now she had to allow them grieve the loss of James."I am sorry that you lost James." Jackson was comforting Shelly. Jackson had become so close to Shelly that he was ready to be with her all the wsy. "it's all my fault." She said."Do not say that. You did not try to kill him." He said. She looked at him with regret in her eyes."If I had not told him about the fact that he had a child he wouldn't have been driven to do the things he did." She said as she dabbed her eyes because of the t
"How was your journey dear? I hope it was eventful" Gerard said as he went to hug his daughter.Rose was watching him closely to see how genuine he was towards Casey. When he disengaged himself from her, he focused his attention on Ben."Who is the young man with you?" He asked. "Dad! Mom! This is Ben." Casey said. Gerard looked at him and shook his hands warmly."Welcome Ben. I am Gerard Chamberlain. It's nice to meet you Ben." Gerard said. "It's a pleasure ro have me in your house sir." Ben said rather timidly.Meliisa had told her about her dad but she did not tell him that he was this accommodating.He also saw and felt the aura that the man possessed and exuded. He was not intimidating but he had an authority about him."I have something to attend to. Make yourself at home." Gerard said. As Gerard moved away, Ben was drawn to Gerard. There was something about him that made him feel relaxd and at ease but he was feeling very uncomfortable because of the way Rose was staring at hi
"James was like a brother to me even we just met each other less that three months ago." Shelly continued to talk about James and everyone listened attentively.Rose was annoyed looking at Shelly talking right there. She wanted to go there and strangle Shelly to death because she was the one who caused all what happened to James."He will be leaving people who loved him and most of all he will be leaving behind someone who did not know that he existed as a father to. her" Shelly said and Rose was jumpy.She knew what Rose was referring to and Gerard.looked at Rose. Some people did not comprehend what she was saying because they had no idea about the live of James.Even his family members aside from Shelly had no idea about James having a daughter.Jackson knew what Shelly was doing and Shelly paused, Jackson kept nodding at her discretely not to do what she was about to do.Jackson knew that this was not the best time and place to do this because the family and those who loved him we
"What did you try doing today at the burial rites?" Jackson asked Shelly. "What do you think I wanted to do." She asked him. "Why are you always doing that?" Jackson asked her. "What is it that I am doing because I do notunderstand what you mean." Shelly said. Jackson just put his hands on his forehead Showing his frustration. "Girl! You can be very difficult sometimes." Jackson said."I seriously do not know what you mean." She said. "Shelly you know exactly what I mean." Jackson was getting so worked up already. Shelly saw this and she was sort of having a lot of fun out of it. She had never seen Jackson get angry before. Shelly stood, smiling suddenly at him. "Why are smiling at me?" He asked.Shelly did not stop. She kept the smile very broad. Jackson was getting infuriated by it. "You are already worked up?" "It is because you are the one getting me all worked up girl." Jackson said. "I know I am and I was doing it on purpose." Shelly said. Jackson arched his eyebrow wonde
Gerard could not explain why he was drawn towards Ben. He was wondering why he was so free and accommodating towards him. He was a very critical and demanding person. He was a good judge of character. If you were not someone he could relate with, it did not take him a minute to know the kind of person he was dealing with. As he thought about Ben, his mind went to the pendant that hung around his neck. He went to his drawer in his study and brought out the one he had that looked like the one that he saw with Ben."I will inspect it later when I see him. As he held the necklace his mind went to the day he gave it to Sophia.............................................................................................................................Flashback begins"I love the way you look at me." Sofia said. "How do I look at you?" Gerard asked her. "You look at me as if I am the only woman you have been with." Sofia said. "What else do you want me to say my love?" He said to her and kis
The man was a man of average height. He had a long beard like those arabs. He wore a track suit along with sneakers. He was also bald which gave him a kind of scary and menacing look. The man walked into a cafe. Jackson and Shelly followed him into the cafe. The man was sitting at a far away booth. The cafe was a large one. From the man's house to the place was about some twenty minutes walk. Why the man decided to walk and not take a bus was strange to Shelly who was tired of walking all the way down to their destination."Why did he not take a bus?" Shelly asked Jackson as they took a seat not too close nor too far from where the man sat to avoid suspicion. "I guess he likes to walk. He looks like someone who is exercising." Jackson said. Shelly was not satisfied with the answer that hw gave but she let that one go. "He is here to meet someone." Jackson said. "How do you know?" Shelly asked. "Look at the number of times he has looked at his wrist watch in the last two minutes." J
"I am here to see my cousin." Oscar said as he spoke with the receptionist who had so much make-up on her face that she looked like a Barbie doll. The receptionist looked at him puzzled. "My cousin is Mr. Murdoch. The woman who looked like someone in her mid thirties checked the system for his name. "On the first turn, you will see the third room on the left." She said and continued with what she was doing. "Thanks." Oscar said and was on his way to see his cousin.It did not take him long to locate the room where his cousin was. As he entered he saw his girlfriend, Miranda."Hi Miranda!" He said. "Hi Oscar." the pretty girl with short brown hair replied. He came close to both of them and punched his injured cousin on the shoulder. "You know I do not have big arms like you do." Murdoch said."How are you bro?" Oscar asked him. "I am good man. I am recovering well." He said. "That is good to know." Oscar said. "The good thing is that I have to be grateful for the miracle, that the st
