Stephanie's awakening. “What's happening to her? Why's she not responding to treatment? You gave me your words, Jayden. You assured me she was going to be just fine. What's the use of the antidote if it wasn't going to help revive her?” Chris slammed Jayden after the antidote he infused in Stephanie's system failed to revive her. Rather, it made her condition more complicated.“I really can't tell why it's not working. In equally confused as you are. I trust my antidote so well. This isn't the first time I'm using it. It has worked on other patients, and Stephanie isn't an exception. I think there's a problem somewhere I need to figure out,” Jayden said as he looked scared that Chris was going to hurt him.“Shut your gutter-infested mouth. You're not even making sense, right? I thought you were a professional doctor. Can you just listen to yourself speak? What are we going to do now? She's not even showing any sign of recovery. Are you sure she's going to survive this?” Emily questi
The investigation."I'm hurting. Please help me. I don't want to die. I don't know if I can hold on for too long." Scar rolled on the ground as he pleaded for help."What do you want me to do now? I'm neither a medical Doctor nor a surgeon.You brought it upon yourself and you should have yourself to blame. Only if you had listened to me and complied with us, you wouldn't have been shot." Job was proud of the decision to shoot Scar. He wasn't even bothered if Scar was going to survive the gunshot."You must be insane to believe I'm stepping an inch outside. The man on the ground is my friend and brother. We've been through a lot together and there's no way I am leaving here without him. He needs to get help. Can't you see that he's losing blood already? Are we just going to walk away and abandon him to die?" Chris confronted the officer while he was still handcuffed."Hmm!" Job sighed after gazing at Scar a thousand times. He may be a detective but he still has an atom of pity for Scar
Jayden's fall.Emily can't get over her father's presence. He was the last person she expected to see."Officer, my daughter is innocent. Can you please let her go? She needs to come home with me," Emily's father pleaded for her innocence. Emily might be stubborn but certainly not a murderer."Dad, please stop. Don't do this please," Emily shunned her father."Emily, what are you doing? I'm trying to defend you. You should be happy about that." "Happy? You killed that happiness the moment you walked in and told Chris about Stephanie's death. Your statement is the reason we are still on this case," she scolded him.After realizing his mistake, Emily's father apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't intend to hurt you. Is there a way we can work it out? I know you're innocent. There must be a mix somewhere,""Work it out? I doubt if that will ever be possible. Just pray I don't end up in jail."Where's Stephanie? I need to speak to her this minute. It's very urgent. Can someone please go cal
Traitor.The sky is continuously cloudless and dark, paving the way for darkness to take charge. The weather was becoming increasingly cold which signaled an apparent heavy downpour. It's 7 pm already and they're still sleeping on the case. "Can someone please take these handcuffs off my hands? It's messing with my skin and making me so uncomfortable," Christian requested. He has endured the pain for so long bad couldn't bear it anymore. The handcuffs were too harsh on Chris's skin which made him have a bit of bruises."Okay. Just hold on a second. I'm coming to do that now," one of the cops walked towards Christian intending to unlock the cuffs with the keys when Detective Job leaned forward to snatch the keys from him."If you move an inch from there, I'll ensure you join the suspects. Are you insane? How dare you go contrary to my order? On whose order are you operating?" Job scolded the cop."I was just trying to set him free, sir.I thought the case was sorted out already?""S
Brandy's venom."It's getting late already. They should have returned. Why are they wasting time in fetching the evidence or is that difficult? I thought Mark assured me that he had everything under control?" Christian said as he looked worried. He paced around tirelessly and placed his hands on his head to think. He has a negative feeling that Detective Job might have done something bad to destroy the evidence Mark was supposed to submit, which would of course set Christian free."Can you stop preaching negativity? We don't have much energy around here. All we need is optimism to desire a better result." Emily's father suggested"Optimism? I doubt if that's ever going to happen." Chris argued. He might be brave enough but he can't deny the fact that optimism is gradually departing from him."Sign of a weak man speaking. How can you even think of such a thing? How can you even harbor such negative thoughts in your head? The Detective can't do anything stupid to destroy the evidence.
Brandy's antics."Emily, is he telling the truth? I need you to be honest with me. You're the only one I could trust right now. Brandy is a jerk. No truth comes out of his mouth.I don't want to believe that Brandy erased all the data. What gave him the nerves to do that?" Chris focused his attention on Emily. She was the only person that wouldn't lie to him. He doesn't want to believe Mark's explanation even though it seems legit."I hate to admit this but it's nothing but the truth. Mark already said it all. If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have agreed to what he said. Everything happened right in front of me. You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore. It saddens my heart each time I remember what happened out there.My head's spinning right now and I don't want to fall sick.," Emily narrated her ordeal in a soft tone. She's gradually losing her voice each time she opens her mouth to speak. She vowed never to speak until they reached the conclusion."Over to you Brandy. E
The Escape route.“What's running through your mind now, Brandy? Doesn't it bother you that you might be spending the rest of your life in jail for committing a serious crime? You haven't spoken a word since we entered this vehicle. Are you planning on something I should know about?” Jayden whispered silently as the cops drove them to the station. He's noticed how unbothered Brandy has been lately.“Nothing special. I don't have Skeleton up my sleeves. I just have this peace of mind that can't be explained. I'm certain my Dad would come for me pretty soon. I've got absolutely nothing to worry about,” Brandy boasted. He isn't bothered by the arrest because he knows it's just a matter of time before his father comes through for him. When the cops got Brandy's declaration that Brandy would be arrested, he never argued or fought with them. Majestically, he smiled and walked his way into their vehicle, while Jayden kept arguing and pleading for a second chance at freedom again.Brandy's
Reconciliation Christian wasn't bothered about his potential arrest initially because he was quite confident of his innocence. He even made a declaration of becoming a Freeman who finally came to a manifestation.“I'll be going home at last. It's been a crazy adventure.” Chris smiled. He was so elated that he was going home. There's no greater joy than seeing Brandy and Jayden being arrested by the cops. If Chris was allowed to have his revenge on them, he doesn't mind shooting them in the head and watching them bleed to death. At least once in his life, he was able to do the right thing when it mattered.“Mark!” Chris halted Mark.“Where are you going? Please come back to me. There's something critical I need to discuss with you.We still have unfinished business.,” Christian called Mark when he noticed how scared Mark had become since he explained to everyone how Brandy destroyed everything. “Unfinished business? What are you talking about? Please make it make sense to me becau
