"Mr. Leviathan?" Derek asked over the phone after putting a call through to the man he was hesitant to call at first."Yes, who is this?" was the response he got."It's Derek McKay," Derek said."Oh, Mr. McKay. So nice to hear from you. How are you doing?""Very well," A pause then he added, "Actually I'm calling to make a little inquiry from you. I hope you're free to talk at the moment?""Yes, yes. What is it?"Derek was surprised to hear how open the man was to communicating with him. It made him wonder why he had been suspecting the man in the first place.Realizing he was starting to let his guard down, he drowned every thought pertaining to that and said into the phone, "What do you know about encrypted lines?"The man seemed to hum first before saying, "Encrypted lines? The only thing I can say I know about that is they are very tricky. Why are you asking?""I need to know if such lines can be decoded. If there's any possibility at all.""Actually there is," the man said. "The

This was probably the first time Derek was face to face with the Compton branch of Jackson and Sons. And like the HQ in the heart of town, the structure was similar.The notable difference between the Compton branch and the HQ was how smaller in size the Compton branch was compared to the size of the HQ. Asides from that, they looked just the same.Once he got down from his car, he went straight to the entrance and got in after he pushed the door open slightly.From there, he went straight to the receptionist counter, already seeing someone seated behind the counter."Good day, sir," the receptionist regarded him with a smile as she stood up from where she was sitting."Good day," he said as he took a glimpse at his wristwatch. "I'm here to see Eugene Leviathan.""Do you have an appointment with him?""Yes, I do. He told me to meet him here by twelve. This is a few minutes past that already.""And you are…?""Derek. Derek McKay.""I'll just call in and check with him for you, sir. Giv

"I guess this is a tracking number for something. Let me see if I can run another check on it," Eugene Leviathan said and then did his thing again.Derek kept watching intently to know if the man would be able to get something substantial from the search but when he kept looking at the man's face, he noticed that didn't seem to be the case."This looks like a dead end," the man finally said, frustration eluding from his tone. "I think we might need something more than just these numbers before we can get anything from it." He then looked up. "Does this mean much to you at all?" he asked Derek."It does," Derek said. "I found it in two places that didn't seem to match which is why I want to be sure I'm not making a mistake." He picked the paper from the table. "I'll just think it to be a mistake of some sort and hope it stays that way."The man's expression after Derek had finished saying that was close to scrutiny. He looked like he was trying to understand Derek more but Derek didn't

Derek was excited to see Jasmine and he let that show with the way he hugged her when she showed up at his doorstep."How have you been, Jasmine? I didn't know you'll be back this early," he said after letting her go."I didn't know either. But we had a sudden break which would last for a whole week so I thought of spending it in the place I'm very well familiar with that's why I'm back home," Jasmine explained."And I'm glad you took that decision. Come on in."As he ushered her to a seat, he was already preparing to get her something to drink.The reason he was this excited to see her was that it has been a while since he has gotten free from all of the things that have been troubling him. Seeing someone that he could say he grew up with was enough to take his mind off such problems for now."Here," he said when he got back and handed her a glass of wine which he had poured himself in the kitchen.Jasmine collected the glass and before she took a sip, she said, "I hope this has alco

"You don't look too good," Derek told Catherine right after he stepped out of the conference room which hosted the meeting that just ended. He intentionally rushed out to catch up with her cause it seemed she was leaving.Catherine looked up to notice it was him before saying, "I'm fine. Just a bit nauseated.""Let me help you with that," Derek said as he collected her bag from her. "You need to rest.""I will. Once I get home.""That's tonight, isn't it?""Of course."To put her to a halt, he suddenly grabbed her by the arm. He used that to turn her around so she could directly face him."I think it's time we talk about your work rate. Don't you think it's too much for your condition? By now you should be doing less but instead it looks like you're trying to do even more and I'm scared it's going to affect the baby."He watched as her expression remained bland despite his attempt to sound sweet. It didn't make him feel good because that wasn't the reaction he was expecting."I think

Tonight almost felt like a deja vu for Catherine. She expected to see her husband with some girl whom he keeps claiming to be his childhood friend. But what she found was her husband seated in the dining area, patiently.The scene looked random but at the same time was strange to her. She wasn't entirely sure what to say as she watched him just sit there with his phone in his hands as they were placed on the table.He looked to be lost in thoughts and she had to say something just to get him out of his reverie."Derek?""Oh you're home," he said as he adjusted himself properly to look at her. "I've been waiting for you. Here, sit.""Uhm, why?" she asked as she made her way to the chair he was pushing open for her."I made you dinner," he declared."But I'm not hungry.""Oh.""Is something troubling you? You don't seem like yourself tonight…" she had to point it out. Seeing him act that way wasn't a scene she was enjoying and had to say something."I'm completely normal, trust me," he

Derek knew that call was coming in soon which was why he wasn't all surprised when he saw his phone ringing to signify a call from Edna Langston.It was the weekend away from work and it meant he had time to himself so he decided to spend it at home with his wife.When the call came in, he was alone in the room and that gave him the opportunity to pick the call without having any problems of suspicion from his wife."Hello, Edna," he said into the phone right after picking up the call."Derek," the woman called his name from the other end. "I can't tell you how glad I am to hear your voice."His expression was a bit vague as he sat up from the bed. He wasn't all comfortable with lying down to communicate."It hasn't been too long since we last spoke," he reminded the woman who made it seem like it has been ages since their last communication."Doesn't seem like that to me," the woman said."Well, what's up? Are you out of town yet?""Seems you really want me out of here soon.""It's n

"You do realize it's my weekend you're consuming," Derek pointed out to Jasmine who was dragging him."I know," she said. "But there's no one else I could call."She came to his place that afternoon and told him that she had an event to attend but didn't have anyone to go with which was why she decided to come to his place.He had declined the offer at first but she kept insisting and even resorted to pulling him out of the house. If Catherine had been home, the sight wouldn't have been pretty.At one point, when they were about to get to his car, he pulled his arm out of her reach."I can't follow you," he told the lady who turned around to face him."But why?" she asked with a pout."I've got to go to work tomorrow, Jasmine. I can't afford a day out at this time when I should be resting.""And I'll be out of the city by tomorrow too. Let me have this, please."Her emphasis on the 'please' was a bit infuriating due to the way she made mention of it. It was as if she wanted to do anyt
