After having a quick shower, Scott put on his newly bought outfit which was a white oversized top with nice lion design, and a black baggy trouser, which a white and black shoe that completemented his looks.He turned to the small bathroom mirror and began to comb his curly jet black hair after adding cream to it. After making sure all is set, he pushed the door open and walked out of the bathroom."I'll be going now. Remember, do not go outside. If you need anything, just ca.." Scott paused in his words after remembering Marie had no phone. "Just don't go anywhere. There's enough food and water." Saying those words, Scott exited the room and walked out of the compound. 'It is time.' Marie mused, rising up from where she sat and put on Scott's black hoodie to cover her head before dashing out of the house.The day was already dark, so it was easy for her to hide in the shadows. She hid behind a wall and took a peek at Scott who was meters away walking through the streets with his hand
'If she is innocent, why then is she running? That's because guilty people run.' Officer Jordan pondered, pulling out his shiny silver pistol that glintered in the darkness, pointing it towards Marie who kept on running tirelessly.He aimed towards her, with his finger on the trigger."Stop or i'll shoot!" Offocer Jordan voiced out, but Marie didn't stop, thinking it was a bluff.Seeing she wasn't going to stop, Officer Jordan pulled the trigger.BANG*A loud banging sound reverberated turoughout the once silent street as Jordan pulled the trigger. The bullet went right through Marie's shoulder and made her fall down to the floor with gun gushing out."Damn, you need to work on your aiming, Jordan. You coulf have just shot her in the leg." Perez remarked, bending down infront of Marie who appeared to be unconcious. Hearing the sound of the gunshot, a smirk appeared on Scott's face in where he hid. He knew one thing for sure...'It went exactly as planned.'He couldn't take a peek, af
Scott boarded an uber that took him straight to the Baratai restaurant since he was already running late. It took nothing less than 10 minutes before he arrived and rushed in instantly.Upon entering into the restaurant's compound, he could hear voices of people from meters away, and among the voices he recognized one very well.Scott hastened his footsteps towards the direction of the noise, until he found some guys mocking jis collegue, Tory."What's going on here?" Scott questioned, placing his arm around Tory's shoulder and holding her closely."Scott." Tory intoned, a relieved expression appeared on her face."And who are you suppose to be?" One of the guys known as, Marcus, questioned while glaring at Scott with disgust."I am her friend, and we came here to have dinner. Now if you would excuse us, we are starving." Scott responded and attempted to move in, but his path was blocked by Marcus."Don't you realize the restaurant you find yourself in?" Marcus questioned, glaring at
*DING*(CREDIT ALERT: $600,000)Making the transaction, Marcus almost collapsed to the floor, but managed to keep balance. His whole suit was now drenched in sweat, an his palms were sweaty.The money he just transfered wasn't his. It belonged to his father, one of the biggest Gang lord in the country. His father was the type of man who hates giving or loosing money, even to his own son. He was the clear definition of the word stingy.If he should find out such an amount wenr missing from the money he asked his son, Marcus, to collect from a drug customer, he would surely end him.'Atleast i'll die knowing i didn't get humiliated by this trash.' Marcus mused from where he stood sweating like a criminal.'He anticipated Scott to leave instantly since there was no way he could have such an amount that would cover up the amount he just payed. But for some reason Scott was still standing there, and a smile was visible on his face."I can do this all day." Scott muttered, typing away on h
Hearing Tory's words, Scott began to glance around the place to see if the man was coming. He really wanted to meet this person that has been claiming to be the one that has been paying his bill. He really wanted to meet this person and find out if it was someone he knew back home."What's wrong?" Tory asked, noticing Scott's eyes kept moving around the restaurant like he was searching for someone."Oh, nothing is wrong, just lokoking for the waiter." Scott lied with a nervous smile."But the waiter is right beside you." Tory responded with a confused expression. Hearing Tory's words, Scott shifted his gaze sideways, and there the waiter was, standing beside him."Oh..i didn't realize." Scott laughed nervously before placing his order and the waiter left."Scott, i still think you shouldn't have done that. I'm sure you must have needed the money to do something else instead of just showing off." Tory remarked with a concerned look for her friend."It's all good, Tory. Let's just enjoy
"Yes, Scott, we are getting married." Tory informed, joy evident in her voice as she stretched her hand towards Scott, making him catch a glimpse of an expensive diamond ring on her finger.Scott became speechless. The whole thing was too sudden for him.He still doesn't know who this Theo dude was or if he could be trusted, so he felt troubled realizing his bestfriend was getting married to a liar.'This man definitely knows who i am.' Scott pondered, glaring at Theo who was busy talking and laughing with Theo.Each time Scott wanted to make a transfer to the hospital to pay Tory's mother's bills, he calls Sandro to inform the accountant to send a certain amount.'It's either Sandro or someone from the company informed Theo, and now he's here on an agenda that i have no clue what it is.' Scott pondered.Only few people in the company knows about the transfers, and that was his right hand man, Sandro Walker, and the accounting department. Scott has never saw Scott in his whole life,

The hospital's reception fell silent after hearing Jordan's explanation, until Perez broke the silence with a question."What do you mean set her up? If thet are working together, why would he want to set her up?" Perez questioned, standing infront of the duo with his two arms folded."Okay, here's my theory. Everyone knows that girl, Marie, lives in the small corner of Sunshade sreeet. No one has ever made a complain about her about her being violent or disappearing for some days." Jordan spoke in an aubible tone."But recently, a thug was killed in the corner she lived in and she went missing thesame day the blood was found. What i'm saying is, what if she isn't the one who actually killed the thug, but just happened to be there at that time?""The main killer must have panicked that if he should leave without her, she would definitely go to the cop to report since she witnessed everything and also saw his face. So he had no choice than to take her along.""And later on, when the ma
