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
Levi almost pulled off the driveway, when suddenly a car came to a sudden halt behind him. "What the hell?" He said, looking out his rear view mirror."What the hell is wrong with this person?" He said angrily as he tried to back out again. When he noticed that the individual was not giving any headway, he honked hoping that the man would get the message and drive off. But still, the man made no move to leave. "This man must be out of his senses," he finally concluded as he turned off his engine and stepped out the car. He walked to the drivers side and tapped on the window. It was immediately winded down."Can't you see that I am trying to back out here? Can you please drive away so that I can leave?" Levi asked politely. He did not want to stay longer than he had to and arguing would have made him stay so much longer. "Levi Strauss," he heard a voice call from the back seat. It was a voice he had heard before but he still couldn't tell who had it. "Who is that?" He asked to be
"Mr. Strauss, I apologize for this but I promise you that we will ensure he doesn't harrass you anymore," Jayden said after Mr. McCall left. "Jayden, I want you to be totally honest with me. Can you do that?" Levi started. He needed answers and answers were exactly what he was going to get. "Yes, I can. What seems to be the problem?" Jayden asked without even thinking twice about it."Well, let me understand something. You told me that the police force is scared of that man." Immediately Jayden knew where he was going and his countenance changed. "Sir, I never said that. I only said that we have been looking for a way to get a hold of him for months now and we haven't been able to find one because the man is so slick cautious and influential." "But the man is scared of the police force. I saw it today.""Almost everyone is scared of the police, especially when we gather like we just did. It doesn't mean that we can use that as evidence to put him away forever though. There are st
"Levi, what the hell are you doing?" Jake asked as he tried to scramble to the back of the bed."Move and I promise you I will put an end to your existence!" He seethed. "You were my best friend. My best fucking friend. Why would you do that to me? Go on! Give me one good reason why you would go ahead and hurt me like this?" "Okay, how about you just calm down and tell me what you are talking about. What are you trying to say to me?" "I know that you were the one that went behind my back to work with whoever it is you are working with and plot my downfall. Now, my question is pretty simple. Why the hell would you do that?" Levi couldn't contain his anger. He had tried his very best to maybe understand why he would do such a thing. They were friends for crying out loud. They were so close to the point that Levi thought of him as his brother. That's why he found it so difficult to wrap his head around the fact that he would lie to him and betray him in such a manner. "Levi, I can ex
"Wait," Levi started slowly. "Are you trying to tell me that..? Wait, which Susan are you referring to?" He asked. "Susan, your ex girlfriend. I don't know what she is doing now and where she is getting money from but I know that she has it and she is the one behind this." "That's a lie," Mark immediately responded. "You know exactly where she is getting the money from so why then are you lying about it?""I am not lying about anything. I have no idea.""Keep shut Jake. If all you are going to be doing is lying to me, then shut the hell up. Mark knows that you are lying and I also know that you are lying," Levi told him. "Susan is not the type to hide her true nature. She is not the type to pretend like she is broke. She likes to brag. So any source that is giving her this money is one that you know so well. Now you lying about it just goes to show that she did not threatened you. You probably wanted to do this and you are eager for it." Jake looked from Levi to Mark. He had forg
