Lily was struck.Vivian smiled. "Gi ahead, call him, put it on loud speaker and I will talk to him myself. You can call him after that and let's see who he will save first""Why will I want to do that?""You should. I know you have your doubts about me. You don't have to hide your curiosity, I'm dead curious as well. Go on, my phone doesn't have a password" she convinced, passing her phone to her.Lily stared at the phone for a long while."Go on, hurry" she whispered cheerfully, playing drumrolls on the table.Lily stretched her hand and picked up the phone."He's in my recent call log" Lily went to her call log and saw his number saved as, 'My vow'. Hesitantly, she dialed the number, placed it on loud speaker and returned the phone to the table."Vivian?""Hmm" she responded, laying her head on the table."What do you want?""I'm wasted and currently at a restaurant. I do not own a car so I can't go home" she explained softly."Why did you call me?"She chuckled softly. "The fuck!
"Oh, fuck! So what do we do? What's the plan now?""We can go with the first option""But I don't have the passcode.... How long does it take you to get to the garage?""5 minutes""Can it not be stolen?""Nah.... That will be too complicating and very risky. Jason already believes you are with the duplicated file, it's very easy to duplicate it now""Give me 4 hours. I will get back to you in 4 hours with my final decision. In the meantime, keep thinking about other ways we can get our hands on it""I feel like coming to where you are right now""Why?""Dunno. Just felt like it will be easy to think in your presence over a plate of food""Are you hungry? Have you eaten?""Gosh, he guessed right" he whispered."Hold on a bit, I will ask Nathan to wire you some money, I'm very busy now""Sure, I understand"He hung up and called Nathan. "Hey, meet me at the ho
l"What does that mean?" Jason asked, his voice tinged with concern, removing his hands from his pockets."I don't know but this has never happened before according to her neighbor. He said he tried calling her, but her number is not connecting""The cafe.... She was in the cafe yesterday, after I walked in, she left and you said you didn't bump into her, yeah?""Nope, I didn't""Let's go. We have to check the street's footage""Can we do that? We're running late""Hurry, drive!" He ordered. Arriving at the cafe, it was difficult to get the footage nor the street's footage because of a policy they all adhered to. Jason was quite upset that the Cafe's manager kept requesting for a consent from the police or a detective before releasing the footage. After arguing and explaining, Nathan quickly reached out to a Detective who hurried down and got the footages from them."We're running out of time. We need to
"Come on, Tee. I trust you" Nathan whispered nervously, tapping his feet."45 seconds left"Nathan proceeded to chewing his fingernails. "You got this, you've got this" he kept muttering.The elevator's door swung opened and they all walked out. Martin's men ran towards them, searching Tee and the men behind him."It's intact sir" one of his men announced to Martins."Let's go" Martins ordered.Tee looked up to the camera and gave a nod.Nathan relieved a sigh and sank on Jason's chair. "Thank goodness!"Jason busied with tapping his fingers on the table."What? Are you still nervous?""Nope. I'm wondering.... Who must have kidnapped Lily?""Ah! You're worried about that. Is it not Kristine? Thought you stepped out to pay them a visit?""I can't say""You must really be worried""Not worried, just concerned and that's because no one will want to hurt her, exc
"What? Got who? Jeez! Why does he hang up so easily? He's so full of himself, always..." She sighed and threw the phone on the table next to her chair."Untie her, I'm bored" she commanded.The man removed the rope from Lily's mouth as well as the blindfold, covering her eyes."You still haven't gotten the guts, huh?""I'm not a nice person either. Just so you know...." She warned in a low tone. "For boredom sake, I think I can spare having a conversation with you""I will start, you like Jason do you not?"May scoffed and took the glass of wine, she sipped a little and returned the glass to the table. "You mistake me for Vivian""No! I may not know who you are but I know when a woman li....""You think falling in love with Jason gives you the right to stereotype on how women react towards people the love? Why will I kidnap you if I'm in love with Jason?""Who knows? You tell me"She sighed and dragged the blunt in between her fingers. She dragged it so hard that she absorbed it's con
He turned his wrist to check the time and smiled. "I don't know if Vivian can hear me or if she has had any conversation with you but I will say something quick, you have 100 minutes to release Lily. It will be disastrous if I find her myself"May laughed at his ego. "Ouuuu, Look at that! But I don't get it, why does everyone mistake me to be Vivian? I'm not someone you can threaten with such silly claims. You and I know that we both have something to lose here but if you want us to attach timelines to this, I really don't mind. I'm not a great fan of games but I think I will love to mess with you" she smiled and sat opposite Lily. She played with the smoke from her mouth and shaped it into a circle, she blew a little air and Lily was covered in smoke, coughing loudly."If you touch just a strand of her hair, I promise you, you will be bald for the rest of your life""I think we should start with a fistful of her hair" she whispered, pulling out Lily's hai
She followed him into his car and they drove away. "You are different from the Jason I knew" "How long will it take to get there?" "Have you gone nuts because Lily is involved?" "Give me the location, I will go there myself." "Jason, I'm talking to you" "I hate to repeat myself, give me the location, I will go there myself!" "Stop the car, I need to grab a cup of coffee, I'm thirsty and no! I'm not letting you go there yourself. I promised to join you and I will keep my words" He stopped the car and watched her open the door and walk into the cafe before following her. "Jason!" Martins called out cheerfully, wearing a smile as he walked up to Jason. Jason shut the car's door, wrinkling his brows thoughtfully. "How are you doing?" "Are you drunk?" "You must be feeling excited with the thoughts that you got me" Jason shook his head and leaned on his car. "Nah, I got no time for that" "Detective, here is Jason Yates" "Mr
Martins looked at his phone and then to Jason. "What are you doing?!""Nothing. My hands and legs are being tied together, there's nothing possible I can do now"He took few steps away from Jason and took the call. "Yes, Minister"Jason watched him from a distance while he conversed with whoever the caller was."I understand. I apologize for that. I'll meet you tonight. Thank you" he hung and turned to Jason."What are you doing with the RTK file""Nothing serious, just proving reasons why I should not be here""And what makes you think I will obey you?""Uhm.... Because you don't have a choice?"Martins grabbed the knife on the table and stormed towards him."What do you think you are doing?" Jason asked calmly, looking straight into Martin's eyes.Martins ignored him and slit his chin.Jason chuckled. "I guess it takes a lot to convince you to be shaken""Get Nathan" Martins ordered, glaring at him."Sir.....""I said get Nathan!" Martins yelled."You have to see this, sir" His assi
