"Sure , take care , love you" he replied and ended the call . Jasper stared at his phone with a small smile on his face , he actually can't wait for the time Emma would find someone who would love and adore her , she totally deserved it, she's such a sweet soul. A short knock on the door interrupted his thought as he groaned tiredly knowing who it is! He stood up and limped slowly to the door , he opened the door and belle smiley face greeted him. "H-umm, good afternoon" she greeted stuttering , she had already come up to the door before she realized , maybe she shouldn't have come up here, but it was already too late to turn around and walk away . "Yes " he replied and she snapped out of her thoughts. "I made lunch and I just wanted you to come down, you've been up for quite sometime since you came back , I also got you medications that can lessen your pain faster than aspirin" she said and he nodded. "M-kay" he replied, she still stood there not even knowing what to do , or wh

8:00 pm ....Jasper walked into his study and pulled out his murder board, he opened his drawer and took out a sticky note and marker.On the board an unknown picture with question mark on it was placed in the middle with inscription assassin under , then pictures of her victims were placed all around it with threads connecting them.He wasn't really concerned with victims that had been killed before he came here , but his investigations was going to be centered around the two incident that happened when he got here."#victim2 - Fredrick Ford , newscaster " he wrote on the sticky note and placed it beside Mr and Mrs harper's case .He had talked to the harper's first daughter and she didn't seem to have anything to offer him.He needed strong leads like someone her father involved with or any enemy, but it seemed like Mr Harper had been very secretive about his businesses.He had not given up though, but he witnessed Mr Ford's assassination he had to look into that.He slowly walked b
"What is it?!" He asked immediately he saw her reaction."I'm probably the only one that knows about his real name and that he's Mr Ford online competitor""If he truly did that to Mr Ford can you guarantee that I'm safe ?!" She asked."Ofcourse you are , I'll make absolute sure of that " he replied."Okay" she whispered and slowly sat back in the chair and crossed her legs."Charles Anderson " she said."Charles Anderson " he repeated as he took the name down."So what about his huhh .. baby mama , can I get her name?!" He asked as he watched her clear her throat and adjusted herself in her seat."Like I told you before ,I don't know anything about her !""One more thing , do you have any idea any article he might have been working on before his demise , it might have had something to do with why he was killed" he asked."Nope" she replied sharply even before he finished his statement and he slowly raised his brows at her bending his head a little bit."I'm sorry , I definitely did n
Later in the Afternoon 3:00am.....Still at the headquarters ...."Hello Anderson residence here , how may I help you ?!" "Good afternoon, This is detective Jasper and I would like to speak to your boss " "Oh, my boss isn't in town at the moment ""Really?!, And when is he going to be available ""He should left today , he should be gone for about two weeks or less" "Alright thank you for your time " he replied and ended the call."Anything?!" Nathan asked immediately he dropped the call."He isn't in town ""Till when?!" Nathan asked."Two weeks time , she isn't even sure when, " he replied."Ohh" "I guess we'll just have to wait" Nathan replied."But while you're still here , you can review the other files we gave on her " he suggested."Yes I should " he replied and switched on his MacBook.He brought out his jotter and a pencil also as he began to review previous cases and make some jottings."Hey guys look I found something" Lucy said as she carried her laptop over to Nathan'
"The assassin" "The next blog post he wanted to release was everything there is to know about the assassin!""What?!" Jasper whispered and she nodded and murmured a yes ."How was he able to gather that much evidence, so much that he was considered a threat and killed ?!" He asked."I don't really have the full gist of how it happened, he told me the less I knew the better !""But I recall him saying he has a reliable source working closely with the assassin's group" she said."And this his reliable source is he still alive?!""I have no idea , I wasn't fully involved " she replied."He knew his life was one the line , he made me promise if anything happened to him because of that article , I would do away with all of it and never speak to anyone else about it, our daughter needs atleast one parent" "That's why I lied " she said as tears slid down her face and she slowly raised her hands to wipe it."I warned him about that article , I really did , but he did not listen to me" she s
The loud blaring of Jasper's phone brought him back to full consciousness of his surroundings and he quickly picked up his phone, it was from a video call from Emma."Hey beautiful" he greeted as soon as he answered the call and her face came into full view."Now you're suddenly calling me beautiful?! What's going on I don't trust this guy" she replied and he bursted out laughing."And since when did calling my obviously very gorgeous best friend beautiful become something to be suspicious about?!" He replied and she smiled , actually very short of words."Very well then, thank you boo" she replied and they both bursted out laughing."So how is it going?!How well are you socializing with your new companions" she asked, while he just exhaled and shrugged."So far so good , the security guy had been cooperative" he replied."And Belle?!"I don't know what to say about her , she has been very loud , obviously trying to get homey with me and all" he replied."And?!" She asked raising her
Next Morning ...Saturday Morning 8:00 am ...."Hey Nathan good morning" Jasper greeted as he picked up his call and placed his airpods in his ear."What's up, I've been trying to call Stella, her number isn't connecting but I'm on my way to her house though!" He added immediately as he walked towards the door."You obviously haven't seen the news" Nathan stated calmly."What news , what are you talking about ?!" Jasper asked immediately."Stella was murdered today in her house"Nathan said and Jasper stopped in his tracks immediately."That's a lie " Jasper immediately."She's dead , bro ""I'm very sure the assassin killed her " he said."Quick meet me at Fred's house immediately with Lucy , we have to search the place immediately " he said as he rushed out of the house."Got it " Nathan said before ending the call.At Fred's house ...."She mentioned a secret compartment" Jasper said."Let's split out immediately , so we can cover everywhere, before anyone thinks of coming here !" J
Later that day...4:00 pm...Jasper's hands carefully gripped the steering wheel as he moved his head slowly to the rhythm of the music he was listening to as he drove home.It was the highlife music Belle was listening to this morning, it had just coincidentally come up immediately after he put on the radio in his car.The movement of his head slowed steadily as he realized he was going home and Belle was going to be there.He had outrightly told her he doesn't regret kissing her and there wasn't any going back, he had covered up his shame by saying their first kiss was a mistake, but obviously, she has his moegoe button without her even knowing.As Jasper drove on, he tried to backtrack on how he got here with Belle, they met in a not-so-pleasant situation and their other situations after that weren't pleasant also until his heart started to feel funny.She had won him over with her kind heart and words, her tolerance for him and everything that she was.Jasper was lost in his thoug
"This is her doing I'm sure!" Jasper ranted as he began to walk around the office."I'm sure I kept them there!" Lucy said."You saw it before we left on Saturday right?!" She asked turning to Nathan."I did" he replied as he slowly caressed his beard leaning in on the table."She did this!" Jasper repeated."There isn't any sign of a break-in, so how exactly did she come in??" Nathan said."After Stella died, she told me that the more people I interrogate, the more people she kills," He said."I think her eyes are on my every move" Jasper added."And she would stop at nothing to frustrate my efforts," he said."She should just have taken it away on the night she shredded those papers""But she left it there for me to see, and then the videos she posted again, I'm sure she's on to something huge" he added and Nathan nodded slowly."Lucy," he called and she looked up at them as she slowly took her seat."I don't even have any idea what to say " she replied."Just the last time we came
At the office..."Why weren't you taking your calls yesterday," Nathan asked immediately after Jasper walked into the office."I'm sorry" he replied immediately,"I was with Officer Mike and I needed to address the public" he added as he walked to the table and placed his bag on it."A new member will be added to the team," he said"What?!" Lucy asked coming forward immediately."She's coming from Toronto " Jasper replied."I think they ran into a delay but by tomorrow, she should be introduced to us" "I don't want a new team member, she's not even from here" Lucy bemoaned."This isn't about what you want or not Lucy""It's about what's good for our team," Nathan said."But Jasper is already doing a great job" she protested."The more we are the more difficult it is" she added."What do you mean more difficult," Nathan asked turning to look at her with narrowed brows."Whatever " she replied rolling her eyes."Look Lucy I appreciate that you think I'm doing a great job, but I think w
Next day .....Monday Morning...7:00 am ..."Arggghh" Jasper groaned in pain as he sat up on his bed.His head was banging out of its place and he could barely even see clearly, he raised his hands to his forehead as he rubbed it slowly trying to massage it."God!" He murmured, he had been so caught up in his emotions yesterday that he drank more than he could control, it took. the grace of God that he didn't run into an accident on his way back yesterday.He tried to stand up and walk to the bathroom, at least to wash his face if that would even help, but he was in so much pain he couldn't even move."Good Morning" Belle chirped as she walked into his room with a tray in her hands.He looked up at her as she walked in and towards his bed."Hey, how are you feeling?!" She asked and he just stared at her not saying anything."I made you soup," she said as she placed the tray on his bed."Bella ..""Shush" she interrupted placing her hands on her lips."Just eat," she said and pushed t
Noon..."Tell me all that happened, no lies or secrets please," Officer Mike said calmly immediately after Jasper walked into his office."On Wednesday two weeks ago, I got a location the assassin supposedly wanted to attack" Jasper started."It wasn't confirmed information so I decided to check it out first before informing the rest of the team " he continued."On getting there, I realized it was the assassin herself that tipped me off" "I was so caught up there I couldn't contact anyone but I contacted Nathan though""Yes, she killed Fred right in front of me and I got shot in the leg, only after then did Nathan arrive" he concluded."The one that happened two days ago, I had no idea she was in my house also, I was caught unawares" he concluded.Officer Mike slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards the window, he pulled the curtain and stared down at the small crowd of journalists and pressmen that had gathered downstairs.They had been there since the issue started trendin
"What!!" Belle yelled bewildered as she stood up abruptly from her seat.Jasper suddenly dropped his fork on the table as he turned fully to face the mirror."Although, the FBI hasn't confirmed this information yet or even addressed it""Anonymous pictures have been released in a place confirmed to be detective Jasper's house""The pictures captured detective Jasper and the assassin to be in what could be considered as a conversation " she continued and just then the images of the screen changed to the pictures."Christ !" Belle murmured as slowly wrapped her hands around herself, totally engulfed in fear."We also have rumors that detective Jasper happened to have witnessed Mr. Fred's death, the latest assassin's victim" she continued and Jasper slowly stood up from the chair."How can you .... " Belle murmured trying to talk, her throat suddenly went dry as her hands flung to her chest and she grabbed it tightly.She slowly moved backward as she opened her mouth wide trying to contr
"How dare he tell me the kiss was a mistake " Belle murmured as she walked into her room and slammed the door shut.She sat in front of the mirror seething angrily, she can't believe he just used her, her mind wandered to her first-ever boyfriend."You are too desperate, I can't deal with it" he had said to her that fateful day."I don't think I would want to be with something lacking something as important as love in her family," he said."What?!" "After two years of being with you, you suddenly realize I'm clingy and desperate?!" "Yes, you're too needy I can't deal with it!" He replied."You used me, Jake, how can you do this to me""You put yourself up to be used" he replied and walked away.That was the last word he ever said to her again, after then she promised herself never to be involved with men or have any sort of feelings for any man.Considering the circumstances surrounding her growing up, truthfully she was quite clingy and desperate for Love, but she had sincerely hop
Later in the Evening ...."Your mission is starting to become scary " Emma bemoaned ."What exactly are you saying " Jasper replied immediately."You know that's the nature of our job , I can't afford to pull out now !""Do you know how incompetent that would make me look to Officer Abani?!!" Jasper replied."What exactly is it with proving your competency to officer Abani ?!!" Emma said."It's everything , I just hope this is not you trying to tell me to call whatever I'm doing quit " he added immediately."I'm not asking you to stop , I'm just saying please be careful ""Okay good , that's better ""I'll be careful , thank you " he replied and she nodded slowly."So are you close to being done ?!" She asked."Close to ?!" He repeated with a small scoff."Every lead I've gotten , she has managed to destroy it " "I'm still looking out for possible ways to get evidences " he said and she nodded."I hope you find whoever it is soon " she said."We will , ""Plus I have the best team "
She immediately reached for the door ,dropped the bags in her hands and rushed at him, she quickly grabbed his hand tightly and pulled him to face her ."Why didn't you just take a knife and then cut my head off , instead of slamming the door that hard when you knew I was at the door!!" She yelled.And for a moment there he saw fury in her eyes , he saw great strength and anger.To be honest he felt intimidated by her voice at that moment."I'm sorry " Darell said and they slowly turned to look at him as he walked out of the house before turning back to face each other Jasper slowly looked down at her hand wrapped tightly across his wrist and she removed her hands immediately."I've kept quiet for you enough , you almost disfigured my face today!" She said a little bit more calmly."If you don't appreciate me , a lot of other people do!" She said."And the funniest part is that you benefit from this association just as much as I do , yet you make me feel like trash!""I'm not your ma
