"Levi, did you hear that?" Brittany woke with a startle, her eyes full of fear. "Huh?" Levi asked with sleepy eyes. He couldn't remember the last time he slept so peacefully. He did not hear any sound or feel anything. "Wake up, I hear a sound coming from outside.""Babe, I am sure it's just the wind. Come back to bed," he urged. "No, I am sure I heard something. Go check it out." "Brittany, trust me..." Before he could finish his words, a loud bang resounded from outside. Levi stood up immediately, finally alert. "Oh so now you hear it! Go and check it out, let's know what is happening." "You stay in bed," Levi advised as he stepped out of bed and slide into a pair of grey Nike slippers. "Heavens no, I am coming with you," Brittany said as she also got out of bed and followed him. "Okay, we both can't be out like this." "Instead of arguing with me, lead the way and let's find out what's going on here." They tiptoed out of their room and moved slowly to the front door. Th
"What do you mean by he is nowhere to be found?" Jayden asked. He couldn't lose him. He was so close to finally closing this case and getting the promotion he needed and now the prime suspect was no where to be found? He couldn't let that happen. "We can't find him anywhere in the house sir." "Did you check the basement? Where I told you the suspect is being held?" Jayden inquired. "Yes, I checked everywhere. Used the password you gave me to gain access to the room and finally got it open but I still can't find him. He cleared out the basement." "And what about the suspect? Where is he?" "There is no one in the basement. If there was a suspect there before, he isn't there anymore." "What?!" Levi asked. "I saw him yesterday evening. How could he be gone?" He didn't understand what was going on. Couldn't wrap his head around everything he was hearing.Brittany stood with open mouth, wondering if truly the policeman was right and Mark was actually the person behind it all. But ho
"I can't believe you guys will actually do this to me.""It's for the safety of everyone here. Now, go on. Go, Levi," Brittany urged him on. Levi stood outside the safe house, watching as Jayden made calls to find anyone that could track down Mark for him. He saw pure hatred for the man in his eyes. No one could tell him that the he did not partly do this for revenge. "What are you waiting for, Levi?" Brittany asked. "You know for a girl that defended Mark few minutes ago, you sure have a wonderful way of changing sides," Levi taunted. "I defended him when I thought he was not a serial killer after your life. What you are doing now is just plain stupidity. You can see that this man is clearly after you and get somehow you are still defending him. What exactly does that say about you?" "I am not defending him. I am just trying to weigh our options here. What if we get into my problems by trusting the police?" "The police is the one people we should have trusted all along and if
"Well, what did he say?" Brittany asked once she saw Levi walk into the room. "He said that we can't just arrest her like that. We need solid prove because of the kind of parents she has," Levi said and took a seat on the brown sofa that beautified the sitting room. "Wait, I am still confused. Who exactly is this girl?" Jake asked. He didn't like the fact that he was slowly getting lost with everything that was going on. So much information was running by him without him noticing. Levi hesitated and took a look at Jake's face and knew he couldn't lie to his best friend. Hesitantly, he said "It's Davina." "What?!" Jake exclaimed. "Davina McCall? The girl you told me about from the auction? The same Davina that wants you?" "Yes. She fits perfectly well into all those description. She is the one after me. I figured it out few hours ago actually. Somehow, she is always around where we get attacked and she always have one flimsy excuse or the other. I mean, she was there at the hospit
Levi heard a knock on his door and when he finally opened up, it was Jayden with the tux he had requested for. "Thank you," he said and took the load off his hand. "We have already added all the listening devices that is needed into the clothe," Jayden said and stepped into the room. "We will be just across the street from any restaurant she chose and we will be able to hear everything she says. We will use the recordings as evidence against her and then her father will not be able to bail her out.""I wanted to ask something," Levi said. "Go on," Jayden said. "Davina. Has she ever been arrested or an attempt has been made to arrest her before?" It's just something that bothers me." "Well, personally I haven't arrested her before and to the best of my knowledge, no attempt has been made. Why do you ask?" "I just wanted to know if she is a sociopath." "I wouldn't use the term sociopath. I would say she is more of a psychopath. She comes from a rich home and I know she believes s
Brittany looked dumfounded. If she was shocked, she did a very good job at hiding it but then again, Levi wasn't looking for facial expressions. After all, Jayden did not attach anything like a camera to his body. All he wanted was for the woman to use her words and say something that may implicate her. "What do you mean by that?" And maybe she knew because she was taking forever to say anything he could use against her. "My bodyguard. He just up and left when I needed him the most. I feel like he is part of the people working against me." "Now, why would he be working against you?" "Maybe he is being paid more money by my enemies than I am. Or maybe his loyalty is just with another person. Do you get what I mean?" Brittany took a sip of her champagne that the waiter just finished pouring and nodded her head. "Well the solution is quite simple. Just get a new bodyguard then." "It's not that easy to replace someone. You should know that." "So why was it so easy for you to repl
Levi opened the door slowly and saw Jayden with Brittany and Jake standing outside.Immediately, Brittany ran inside and threw her arms around him, engulfing him in a tight hug."I was so scared for you. Are you okay? Did that witch hurt you?" She asked while checking for marks on his body."She did not hurt me. She did not even suspect a thing and Jayden, I said you should not allow anyone else to come with you." "I'm sorry sir but they insisted on being here and seeing you. I couldn't say no.""Why? Because no has become a very difficult word to say?" He asked and walked back to the sofa in the palour."Why does it sound like you don't want us to be here with you?" Brittany asked getting upset. "Because I don't, okay. Look, it is very risky for you to stay here and I know that no matter how much I talk or kick against it, you wouldn't listen. But just imagine, what would actually happen if Davina showed up here? What would happen if she found you? I did not go back to the safe hou
"Jayden told me that it was okay to come in." Brittany said as she poked her head into the room. "Yeah,it is actually." Levi stood up as Brittany walked into the room."I'm sorry for talking to you the way I did. You did not deserve such negative treatment. I should have been easy on you. It wasn't your fault that what happened, happened." "You need to understand that I was just worried about you. I just wanted to help and staying alone in that house wasn't going to help you. Or so I thought.""Well, it doesn't really matter right now. I am happy that you are here," he said and pulled her in for a hug. Brittany rested on his chest, listening to his heart beat. She had missed how soothing it normally was to her ears. She couldn't believe how she survived for so long without it."I missed you," she finally said the words she held on for so long. "I missed you too," Levi said with a soft smile, gladdening Brittany's heart. She couldn't believe he was actually saying those words to he
