CHAPTER 51: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS."Hey, man. Do you want us to ask you before you start talking?" Alex asked Justin, while they were still at the bar and were just done attending to Detective Savannah. "But Alex. Don't you think you shouldn't have given my card to that lady?" Justin asked. "You know am not really familiar with this city and this kind new life, so am just taking things easy.""Don't worry, she's not gonna bother," Alex said. "I think what Alex did wasn't a bad idea. I mean, you need someone in your life," Duke said. "You're just letting the experience you had with Samantha make you lose interest in women.""I told you, am not ready to be with anyone and that's final," Justin said resolutely. "Yes, boss. Whatever you want to do with your love life, it's all up to you," Alex said, as he had given up hope in Justin when it came to relationship matters. "We are waiting to hear man," Alex called Justin's attention. "This is what we are talking about. Here, take a loo
CHAPTER 52: THE BREAK UP.Samantha returned back to her house and did nothing at home. She picked up her phone and went through her social media platforms. She checked out posts on Justin's inauguration, and was going through the comments. 'If I had known I wouldn't have left him for Joey,' Samantha thought regretfully."But I need to know if he's already with someone, to know if I still have the chance to get back with him," she said to herself. "I know how much Justin loves me, so he will still take me back if I just apologized. But then. I have to end things with Joey before I can make that move."She dialed Joey's number again to see if he would pick up. Joey didn't respond to the call yet again.Then she decided to send him a text message. The text was to trigger Joey's anger so he could respond if he was really okay. Shortly after the text, Samantha's phone buzzed. She looked at the phone and saw that it was Joey. She quickly picked up the call. "What was that text all ab
CHAPTER 53:THE LETTER.Detective Savannah had reported to the station and was seated with Riley on their desk, as they just rounded up with some research about a particular case.Riley looked at her and smiled, moving his right leg under the desk touching Detective Savannah's legs, as they had seated facing each other."You haven't told me how your weekend with Kyle went, or don't I deserve to know?" Riley jokingly asked."There was nothing good about the weekend with Kyle and I," Detective Savannah responded, frowning her face."Hey, do not give me that response. You think I don't know that you don't wanna tell me?" Riley asked, leaning his back into his chair."I mean our date night didn't go well, as planned," Detective Savannah said."Huh? What was the issue?" Riley asked, looking at Savannah."I don't wanna talk about it," Detective Savannah replied. "But I never regreted following him out though." Detective Savannah picked her pen on the table and brought out some papers and st
CHAPTER 54: HURTS OF THE PAST."You're not gonna tell me where you heading to?" Riley asked Detective Savannah, as she just stood up and walked out of the office heading to her car."No. Am coming with you," Riley said, as he quickly grabbed his gun and ran after Detective Savannah."You take care of things at the station. I will see you soon," Detective Savannah said, and opened the car door, she got in and drove off.Riley stood at the entrance of the station looking at Detective Savannah as she drove off."Where's she headed to this time without letting me to follow her?" Riley asked himself, wondering."But I must hand it to her. She's got guts. That's most likely one of the reasons she became a Detective at such a young age," Riley voiced out his thought."I like her determination.""Jeez! You startled me," Riley jerked. Detective Cole was right behind Riley."Once she has determined to do a thing, there's nothing anyone can say or do to stop her," Detective Cole said."How long
CHAPTER 55: THE ATTACK.Detective Savannah was trying to see if she could still manage to move the car before Riley arrived. She did all she could but found it difficult to drive with a bad tyre.The attacker almost caught up with her. So she decided to pull over and try to defend herself before Riley comes, since she was minutes away from reaching the city.She hopped out of the car with her gun already pulled out from her strap as she ducked under the front of her car, looking through the front glass to see who exactly was actually attacking her.The car drove and parked right behind her car. Someone in black came out of the car holding a gun. She had already turned off the safefty of the gun ready to shot as soon as possible."You've got two minutes to bring yourself or I shoot you," the attacker said, walking forward and was about getting to where she was.With her gun ready to open fire, she observed the attacker as she crept round the car. The attacker was standing right beside

They drove to a bar that was their usual hangout spot while they were in school.And it had been a long time they visited that bar since they all returned to their locations after school. Though still within Texas. Except for Justin who decided to move out of Texas to New York to pursue his dreams."Man, Justin is sure gonna give his Foster family their due," Alex said."He needs to.

CHAPTER 57: A FULFILLED DAY.Samantha and Bella were still seated at the table where Duke and Alex left them. She couldn't believe what just happened to her.Emma stood up from her seat and walked up to them. She looked at them and shook her head as she couldn't figure out what exactly to say to them."Are you just gonna stand there without saying anything?" Bella asked Emma, expecting Emma to console them with her words."I don't know what to say to you two," Emma said, and she sat down on one of the chairs."How would you just expect those two to become nice to us just like that? After how we supported Sam to reject Justin, giving him the embarrassment of a lifetime.""But we didn't know that was how they were gonna treat us," Bella said."I think you should expect more from them," Emma said."Can you two stop all that talk?!" Samantha yelled at them, as she was already frustrated."Let just finished the beer," Bella said."Who's gonna handle the bill?" Samantha asked."You of cours
CHAPTER 58:GOOD RIDDANCE.Detective Savannah was at the office with her partner Riley. They had tried all they could to make the person who they apprehended mention who sent him to attack her the previous day.He attacker was still unwilling to speak. She was frustrated by how the attacker refused to be cooperative. She decided to leave him in the cell till whenever he would be ready to speak. "I will make sure he speaks," Riley assured. "They might have probably threatened him not to reveal anything to anyone no matter what. He knows we are no gonna hurt him, so he's taking advantage of that. "That's exactly the point. He knows we are not gonna kill him so he'd rather stay in prison," Savannah observed."The lives of his family might probably be at stake if he dare say anything," Savannah added, agreeing to what Riley had said.They asked an officer to take the attacker back into his cell as they both walked back to their desk."Am sure they will be wondering why he hadn't returned
