What!Lisa and Rachel looked at each other and wondered if the two officers knew what they were talking about! Rest!When the city is on fire?Is Martinez really serious about what she is saying? How will they possibly rest well when they are not sure of what is going on here? "Did you just say we should rest just like that?" Racheal asked and Martinez nodded."We have some clues, that's okay, we are to be a little calm. Investigation sometimes can be tricky. We might have been thinking in the wrong direction and if we do that, we will be doomed before we even start, so look at me and calm down. It's all okay, I want you both to have something in mind, everything will be just fine."Martinez said and the ladies sighed and they all started packing up their mess. "I thought we would be working all night! Non-stop searching and talking!" Racheal said and Tom chuckled."I don't believe in stressing the brain too much, the few hours we spent together is okay, it's better that way. Resti
The tones were different as the words of Tom were of disbelief and that of Lisa was surprised and someone blush. Racheal was shocked to see the two were still acting like teenagers around each other.Racheal looked at Martinez and also saw the struggle of the young woman to match the two together.It wasn't an easy one but it would be easy if the two were really serious with each other.One is a single father with a daughter who has an attitude while the other party is a single lady who is a nurse and hardly has time for herself. "So will you two pick a time and meet up at the beach, trust me, the beach is better enjoyed in two than with a single eye! You will find it more interesting if you have company while you walk around the beach." Racheal said and the two laughed."ohh, hold on, why do I feel Racheal is talking out of experience! She must have quite a whole lot of experience to give us this sort of information, so tell me!What a juicy gist! Spill it" Lisa said and Racheal wa
"what!!! " Martinez said with a very shocked expression.Lisa was pissed up as she was so emotional about all she was hearing. It was like she was the one who had gone through all the stuff."Girl, that was crazy!" Lisa said angrily. "That wasn't even crazy enough, I screamed and told them to leave my house and guess what the lady said to me. She called me stupid. She said why do I think I was the owner of a public property.Stephen was meant for the streets and cant be mine alone, she said she was not even going to return my favorite cloth.They left that very day and I cried, my eyes were red and I was depressed again. I wondered why everything was happening to me around that time.I was hoping to start something totally new before I got the news that I was given a transfer. When I saw it, I goggled about this place and when I found out it was local.I knew it was a punishment but I needed the fresh air, I needed to move away from where I was. I needed the transfer more than anythi
"Girls, it doesn't mean, he is your boss and he is human!" Martinez said and Racheal smiled and shook her head. "I doubt if he is a human being. He is oddly too handsome and he is so cold.Apart from the day at the bus, since then he has been so cold toward me, he doesn't want anything to do with me, he is naturally cold to everyone but I do take it personal sometimes and all the ladies love him.Most of them are more beautiful than I am! " Racheal said and without thinking twice, Lisa flinched her head not too hard and Racheal was shocked."What did I do wrong? Or what did I say wrong? Why did you flinch my head like that!" Racheal asked and Lisa smiled. "You are beautiful and also unique, so don't compare yourself with anyone out there.If he sees you, it's because you are unique, so quit the talk! Anyways, what is his name?" Lisa asked and Racheal chuckled."Well,his name is Philip!' Racheal said and Lisa was confused."Do you by chance know his last name?" Lisa asked and Racheal w
He was shocked to see the three of them shout the sleeping bag at once and they looked at each other and laughed. It was so hilarious.Just like they knew each other's mind. "sleepovers are meant to be done together, so we will sleep here together!" Martinez said and Racheal checked the time. " Well, we have less than four hours left, so, let's sleep now or never!" Racheal said and Lisa looked at her body."I think I might have to see my little friends, I can't sleep in this outfit, I might just see if Emily had something I could fit myself in!" Lisa said and the ladies nodded.Tom brought out the sleeping bags and handed them over. "I will go and sleep now as well! Sleep tight ladies!" Tom said and was about to work away with Lisa pulled him" Sheriff, I don't know Emily's room, can you point it out to me?" Lisa asked and Tom nodded. " Definately, it's just near my room, follow me!" Tom said and they walked away.Martinez and Racheal chuckled and the two left. " you don't talk about
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Emily's room, the two stood there talking. " Did you intentionally pick this room for her?* Lisa asked and Tom smiled, "Is it that I choose the room for her?" Tom asked and Lisa nodded."Of course, can't you see the outdoors, the side if the house is not good for a lady like her. She wants her space away from you, she want a point that she will play midnight music and you won't hear a thing but no, you decide to put her so close to you!She probably wished she was far away from your room!"Lisa said and Tom sighed."You know, since we relocated here, Emily and I haven't have a very good conversation, she does want to stay for a conversation, she is unnecessarily angry.She believes she is old enough and she wants to break off her father and I am scared for her.You know very well that the city is danger but she wants to keep in touch with this set of annoying friend that all they do is go to clubs and get drunk and unfortunately waiting for her to pay the
"I sincerely believe there is more you can do and everything will be just fine! Ladies can be stubborn but at the end of all those hard looks and behavior is a very soft heart!She loves and misses you, the earlier the better!Family bonds are very hard to break and kind. So it's better if it doesn't break at all. Emily is a very sweet lady and you have to start to see the reality in her. You have to see her as a lady." Lisa said and Tom headed her hand.Lisa was shocked by the sudden act but she was quick to hide how she felt from the touch. Tom looked straight in the eyes and smiled."No one has ever said what you said to me and my team. I am so grateful, Lisa and I assure you, I will not lose anything with her. I will work on our relationship and in no time , everything will be sorted out, I promise you.I will work on all your ideas and core tion and the very next time you visit, you will be so proud of me! " Tom said and Lisa nodded and Tom lifted her face and they stared at eac
Emily noticed that Lisa was still in the bathroom, so she picked out a night wear for her. Free and light but not bad for the weather.She sat In Front of her drawing pad and started drawing while she waited for Lisa to be out.she was drawing with her eyes closed as she tried to get it. She was so fast and under minutes, she was done and she opened her eyes and looked down at the drawing. It looked like Lisa, she was smiling while looking back at something. Emily looked at the painting for a while but still couldn't get the meaning of what she drew, sure, she had not seen Lisa in such a position before.She left the painting on the table while Lisa walked out of the bathroom almost at the same time. "Emily, thanks for the help! I really appreciate you allowing me to use your room!" Lisa said immediately she opened the door and walked out."you are welcome, I don't know what they told you about me that made you feel I won't allow you to have my things, it's a lie, I am a cheerful giv
Tom paced nervously in his living room, his mind racing with thoughts of the impending danger that lurked in their quiet town. He had invited his closest friends over for a discussion, hoping to devise a plan to protect their community from the bloodthirsty werewolves that ravaged the town every full moon. As the murmur of conversation filled the room, Tom took a deep breath and addressed his friends."Thank you all for gathering here today," Tom began, his voice laden with a mix of urgency and determination. "I have been doing some research, and it seems that using mountain ash on the doorsteps of every building in town could potentially stop the werewolves from causing harm during the full moon."Martinez, one of Tom's trusted advisor, leaned forward, her gaze focused intently on Tom. "Mountain ash, huh? That's an intriguing idea. Considering its folklore, it just might work. I would say it's a long shot, but it's worth it. You know we've only heard that mountain ash stops werewolve
The full moon hung high in the night sky as the members of Marcus's pack gathered in their secret meeting spot deep within the woods. The air crackled with anticipation as they awaited the arrival of their alpha, Marcus. He was a tall, broad-shouldered werewolf with a commanding presence, and the respect of his pack was evident in their eager expressions.Marcus finally came out of the shadows, out from one of his rooms, he scanned through the whole room, staring deep into eyes of his pack members. There was tension in the air and it was very obvious, everyone was concerned by what Marcus was about to say. They had thought by now Marcus would have addressed the Emily's behavioural issue at the last meeting and maybe today was the day."You all wonder why I called this meeting, right? We have a serious case on our hands. People who we thought of as less threats have been making moves. And it's not something we can overlook." Marcus said, his voice almost like he was afraid of somethin
The sun had gone down, no trace of it left in the sky and now, they stars had began to come out, twinkling in the dark sky. After the long day at work, other officers had left, but Martinez had waited behind for Tom as they had another one of their home investigation meetings. When Tom was done closing up, he and Martinez both shut down the office and left for Tom's house. Together, they took in the stroll of the town as they walked home. Their movements, side by side and slowly, almost like they were staggering.They were getting close to Tom's place and just a few houses away. Tom took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Lisa's number while he blushed, unintentionally.Martinez tries looking at Tom's phone to see who he was trying to call, but Tom wouldn't let her. "You know I don't need to look at your phone to know who you're calling, right?" Martinez said."And who might that be?" Tom asked."I know it's Lisa you're calling, silly." Martinez said."You really think you know a
Tom had shared a radical plan to use mountain ash, a powder known for its supernatural properties, to create a barrier powerful enough to keep the werewolves contained. The mere thought of such a plan filled Hank with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Finally, he could make a difference, protect his interest, and prove to Marcus, the alpha of the pack, that he was more than just a liability.Taking long strides, Hank reached Marcus's place, the overwhelming mansion nestled among tall pines. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists, anticipation mixing with frustration. He wanted to confront Marcus, demand answers to why his pack had become so reckless, and maybe even convince him to put an end to the bloodshed.As he swung the cabin door open, Hank's eyes met Marcus's smirking face. "You!" he spat, anger bubbling beneath his words. "How could you let this happen, Marcus? People know now. They know that werewolves are responsible for the attacks."Marcus's laughter cut thr
The day had began to run down, the sun setting and everywhere getting darker by the minute, Tom finally left his office and headed to the hall of the station where meetings and discussions were held. He knew he had to tell everyone about his new plan since, they can help him to enforce it and make it work. On his way to the hall, he decided to meet Martinez at her office first.Tom’s footsteps echoed through the hallway as he approached Martinez's desk. With a sense of urgency, he called out, ""What's up, Martinez? Gather everyone at the station. I need to address them immediately. We have a meeting and I have a little piece of information I need to pass in this meeting." Tom asked, as they exchanged pleasantries.Martinez glanced up, her eyes wide with curiosity. ""Very well, Sheriff. Why are you headed to the hall? Tom, what's wrong, huh?" Martinez asked, trying to satisfy her curiousity. Tom got closer to her on her seat then, he reduced the tone of his voice. "We are slowly near
Tom, on his way to work had met some werewolves, but he didn't recognize them to be werewolves until one of them glowed his eyes during their conversation.Tom’s heart raced as he made his way to work, his mind unable to shake off the encounter with the mysterious group of werewolves. Their warning about his daughter, Emily, being in danger had shaken him to the core. He had always known that his daughter being part of Marcus’s pack came with its risks, but he had never imagined that his own flesh and blood would be used as a pawn.Unable to focus on anything else, Tom decided to stop by some shops along the way to work, hoping to clear his mind. Before Tom got to the shop*Tom had taken a turn from the bustling road of the town to a corner not too far from the station.It was then that destiny played its hand, leading him to a group of individuals huddled together in an alleyway. The moment he glanced at them, their eyes met and he saw the glow on their eyes, and Tom instinctively k
After sharing cups of coffee to both Martinez and Rachel, Tom barely took a sip out of his own cup. The room then fell silent and Martinez couldn't give up the chance of teasing Tom about Lisa like she did all the time. A wide spread grin fell across her mouth and face as she rested her back on the couch, staring at Tom like she was looking to intimidate him."Tom?" Martinez called him, her eyes still focus on him."What is it?" Tom asked as he turned around to look at Martinez. "So, have you and Lisa...?" Martinez asked, eating some of her words and replace it with a sound of clearing her throat."Me and Lisa what?" Tom asked, curiosity all over his face."Have you Lisa... You know," Martinez said, raising her eyebrows up and down. Just then did Tom get what she was heading at.Rachel who had understood what was going on, kept laughing silently as she saw both of them going back and forth with each other.As Tom finally understood, he tried to sip from his coffee to overlook what Ma
After a long day of work, working on petty thieving cases, interrogations and overseeing various paper works, the day finally came to a close, Martinez felt the need to ease herself from the tiredness she was feeling. When Martinez got to the front door of the station, she raised her wrist and looked down to it then, she noticed she was already late for her meeting with Tom, after picking 7pm, herself. Martinez was very hyped to hear what Tom had to say, after he invited her over and she had to deal with the anxiety throughout the day.At the other end of the town, Rachel who was a friend of Martinez and also a friend of Tom, who was invited too, had just finished work for the day, rounding up her last interview and ready to go and hear what Tom had to say. As Rachel stepped outside she was a bit relieved of the stress of the whole day, with a deep sigh she set out to go to Tom's place. She saw it as a chance to finally pick up on things with Tom since it had been a while since they
Lisa's footsteps were heard through the corridor of the hospital as she matched on her heels with confidence and joy. Her heart was pumping with relief and gladness as the events of last night didn't bring any form of sadness or regret at the end of the whole show. From the moment Lisa stepped foot into the hospital, all her colleagues that were around turned their eyes to her and most of them were left in shock to see the big smile on her face.Sarah, a close friend and colleague, approached Lisa cautiously. Concern was etched across her face as she gently placed a hand on Lisa's arm. "Lisa, are you okay? We were worried about you after the way you left work yesterday. Did you find Emily? Is she safe?" Sarah asked, her voice showing a sign of worry.Lisa kept smiling as she spoke with Sarah. "Yes, of course. We found Emily and she was safe and still is. I kinda had a good morning with she and her father this morning."Sarah was relieved to hear it, as she sighed deeply. "That's grea
