"What did you just say?" Levi asked through seething teeth. It had to be a mistake. He obviously did not hear him well. Maybe he was just lying or trying to be funny but his silence was not doing anything to make it better. He needed the young man to speak. He needed to know what stupid thing he had done and how he was going to punish him for using the move of his life as a Scape goat to arrest Davina McCall. "Open your mouth and speak, young man!" He commanded over the phone and Jayden felt the vibrations of his anger all over his bones. "Now you need to understand that I did not have a choice here. It was the most reasonable excuse to use at the time and I know that she already has a bone to pick sign her." "And so you thought to yourself, why not tell her the bone she has been chasing for months had finally made itself available to her. Of course she would be so excited to want to devour it," Levi taunted, trying to keep his anger at bay. He knew that he was failing woefully at
"Mark?!" Levi asked shocked. He couldn't believe that the man had suddenly come out of nowhere. What made him come back? He probably heard that his boss was arrested and decided to come out of the shadows. Now his life was in serious danger with Mark around. The man would go to great lengths to ruin him, especially after they went after his boss. Levi feared more for Brittany. He could just tell that the man had come for revenge. He wasn't going to allow him get any of it. Immediately, he slammed the door at his face but forgot that the door did not lock on its own and even if it did, a experienced man like Mark would be able to get it open before he could even say a word. "Brittany, get out of here!" He screamed at her wanting her to be safe and sound. Mark forced the door opened and walked in like nothing ever happened. But the few minutes that Mark used to contemplate on what to do gave him enough time to pick up a weapon and arm himself with it. "Don't move," he said, point
"You must think that we are stupid and we don't know what you are trying to do here," Brittany said. "I am not lying ma. If you doubt me, how about we go to the house and I will show you where I left the letter. It's probably still there till now." "Oh of course. You want us to go back to the same house that you claim the culprit knows about. Yeah right," Brittany scoffed. Every bone in her body hated Mark. Because of him, they had gotten into such troubles that threatened to break them all. "I am telling you the truth, sir," Mark turned to Levi. "I believe you," Levi said after a while. Immediately Brittany flung her head to look at him. She did not understand the man. Could he totally be that blinded that he could not see that his precious bodyguard was lying? Or was he that scared and needed protection at all cost? "What the hell is wrong with you? How can you sa that you believe him when you know that he is lying through his nose?" Brittany asked. "Because he isn't lying. I
"Do you believe us now, or you still need more proof?" Levi asked sarcastically. He was angry, disappointed that Brittany had no faith or trust in him. How could she question him like that in front of Mark?"I believe you," Brittany said with her head hanging low. A huge part of her wanted Mark to be the culprit. Wanted Levi to be wrong. It would have been so easy than trying to explain why she did not believe them in the first place. "You know, I truly hope that you are happy with yourself right now because I don't even understand what you want me to say or do at the moment." "Sir, I think you need to calm down. Ms. Brittany here was only showing her concern and I believe trying to protect you. Anyone that truly cares about you will always ensure that you make the right decision," Mark tried to calm him down. "By putting herself in harm's way?! Is that the best way to go about this? What sort of protection is she trying to offer me if she herself, she does not allow me to protect
Levi reached the station in less than an hour. He sat in his car, waiting for Jayden to come meet him. They had agreed that he would wait outside till the young man had a conversation with him. Everything had to go smoothly and.somehow Levi knew that if he as to go in without getting to know all that the was to know about the case, he might end up runing everything that they had planned. "Good morning sir," Jayden said as he got into the front seat of Levi's car. Levi made no move to even look at him. He was still brooding over the fact that he had gotten Brittany involved in this mess. "What is the situation in there?" He asked immediately, without waiting for any new sentence from him. "Well sir. She has called her father but I don't think the man will be coming anytime soon. Maybe that's why she reached out to you but in general, I feel like she is actually slipping. She has been talking to herself and losing her cool.""How long has she been here and now do you know that it's n
"Sir, I hope you understand that this girl can actually kill you in that room if you are left alone with her, right?" Jayden asked. "With the camera in that room, nothing bad can happen. Listen this may be the only shot we have, we have to take full advantage of it." Jayden looked sternly at Levi. He could tell that the man was serious about what he wanted. Nothing was going to deter him from what he wanted. But he also knew that if he did anything and hurt came to Levi Strauss, he would not get to hear the end of it. "Sir, if I am to allow this happen, I will have to put a guard in the room with you." "No, I will not allow that. Look, Davina wont talk if she see policemen and cameras in the room. You will need to hide a listening device in that room and if possible, the camera you said you needed. But no body apart from me and her have to be in that room." "Sir..." Jayden tried to oppose."Jayden, get me what I asked for because I tell your boss about this," he threatened. "Hmm
"What do you mean by that?" Levi folded his hands, standing erect and staring at him. "Were you not there when I saw her for the first time? At the hospital? Look, Levi the only thing that I did was running into her that day." "You know that's a lie, Davina. You have met her before then. We go to the same school and you met her when I went to dinner with her. Remember when you stalked me to my car at the restaurant outskirts. You have met her before, so why then are you lying?" "Let me see. Maybe it's because know that you already know all that. I mean, if you had the answers to them, why did you still bother me with the ridiculous questions?" "I am trying...""I know what you are trying to do pretty boy. You are trying to defend your ex. Tell me, why are you even with me if you want to be defending her at times like this? I bet you are probably happy that she put me here. Don't you just love seeing me in chains? Don't you?!" She screamed. "Dee, you need to calm down," Levi said,
"Levi," her tone changed. "You won't do this to me. You told me that you have broken up with her." Levi walked to the door and banged on it. "I never said such a thing to you. You only assumed it." A tear fell down her eyes. She couldn't believe that she was played so smoothly. Her father had raised her to be very smart but because of her feelings for him, she could not bring herself to be her true devious self. As she thought about it, she quickly realized that the young man had never told her that he had broken up with her. Neither did he ever tell her that they were together. But she so badly wanted to believe a lie that she made up and she kept saying it over and over again, hoping that it would soon become her reality. But reality was far from her. She couldn't differentiate what she truly wanted anymore.Was she doing this for her father or was she doing it for her own sanity. What would she tell her father when he starts asking questions? "So do you mean you guys are still
