The restaurant name is “Fingers”, which is a pretty weird name but you know, people like weird things.
As I walk towards it, I do a quick google search and I find out that the restaurant is actually a five star restaurant. The reviews are all singing praises and it is known as one of the best places to dine in the whole state.When I lift my head from my phone, I mistakenly hit someone by the shoulder and the man turns towards me angrily.“Watch where you going.” He says and doesn’t even wait for me to apologize, he just simply continues his strides.I place my phone in my pocket as I approach the famous restaurant. It looks elegant but yet also casual at the same time.I take in a deep breath and I let it out when I reach the glass door at the entrance. I am a hundred percent sure that Patrick Sans is in there.His location pings here.Someone exits the place and holds open the door for me to walk in.“Thank yoThe sheer amount of force from his body as he hits me throws me backwards and we both fall.My entire back hits the floor of the bathroom and I yell as pain grabs it. We both struggle and he successfully sits on top of me and straddles me.He tries to hit me in the jaw but I dodge him successfully, making him more angrier.He swings again and this time, his fist lands on my jaw, causing me to gasp sharply.“You took him away from me!” He punches me in the jaw again, but this time, on the other side.“All he wanted you to do was your freaking job!” He yells in my face. Small bits of his saliva lands on my face but right now, the pain distracts me from that.I try and struggle to gain the upper ground and to push him off me, but he is just too heavy.“You picked the wrong guy, Jen Davis. Now I will do what that stupid sniper couldn’t do.” He says as he continues his physical assault.He lands strings of punches on
“I think she’s waking up.” I hear someone say and it’s like their voice echoes through an empty room.“Jen..Jen?” I hear another voice and my eyes open slowly. At first everything seems blurred, and then steadily, my vision clears.The first person I see is Robert and he has a look of concern on his face.I feel a hand caressing my hair and I soon realize that it is his hand.“I thought I lost you...” He says and I try to move. My body aches when I attempt this.“Don’t.” I hear the voice that I heard at first.The voice is incredibly familiar.“Don’t try to do any harsh or fast movements.” The voice advices.“Chad?” I ask in a tired and raspy tone.“In the flesh.” He responds as he walks towards me and into my view.“But—but you were hospitalized.” I say in confusion. Am I hallucinating, or am I still asleep?“Shhh..” He says.“You need to rest, stop talking so much.” He adds.
What the helll? Why are there gunshots!?“Stay here...” Chad tells me as he goes to check it out. I roll my eyes at his advice, for I can’t even get out of here even if I wanted.He exits the room and my curiosity is higher than a kite right now.Are those Patrick San’s people trying to avenge him? I have so many questions.Or it could be a family or close friend of many of the people I have killed.A few more shots go off and then silence fills the air.Soon, the door open and Robert walks in. He looks like he was sleeping.“What’s going on out there?” I ask him and he chuckles tiredly.“It’s a lady by the name of Naomi. She is apparently celebrating that Chad is out of the hospital.” He says as he walks towards me and sits on the bed.With gunshots? She is crazy indeed.He takes my hand and holds it in his own as he gently caresses it. I love to feel his skin on mine.“From
They say death is just a form of sleep that one does not wake up from. Am I dead? I seem to be conscious, but yet I can not move my body.I try to open my eyes but it takes more effort than usual. When it finally opens, all I see is light.The light is so bright that it’s blinding. I also hear birds chirping and a light rush of wind in my ears.Am I in heaven? If so, then how in the world? “Oh, great, you’re finally awake.” Someone says and I try to look towards the voice, but my neck is stiff as a rock.The person walks up to me towards the bed and into my view. It is Robert. He looks refreshed and happy.“How are you feeling this morning?” He asks me as he waits for my reply with a smile.How is this possible? I can clearly remember Naomi trying to kill me with a syringe full with drug.“I....Was Naomi here?” I ask him and his forehead creases in confusion.“Yo
Not being able to move any part of my body feels surreal. It makes me feel kind of bad for what I did to Robert when I first met him.I had drugged him also, and he was so shocked. This is a very terrifying experience and I don’t wish to do this to anyone ever again. I rather just kill the person instead of letting them suffer in prolonged pain. That’s just plain evil.The door of the room opens and I am expecting Robert to walk in, but it’s not him.“How are you, dear?” A beautiful middle age lady walks in. She has on a white lab coat and her hair is white as snow. She is very beautiful and her accent makes me think that she is from Australia.“I’m not very well, I can’t seem to move.” I tell her as she walks towards me. She has a briefcase in her right hand.There is a sitting chair and a coffee table not far from the bed. She makes use of the coffee table by placing the briefcase on it. She then
“What?!” I respond to him in panic.“I said that the Lieutenant is..” He begins and I interrupt him.“No, James! I heard you the first time!” I say to him and he closes his mouth, making a small sound.This is not good. This is definitely not good!“What is he doing here?” I ask James.This couldn’t be a much worse time. I can’t even move if I wanted to. Which means that the Lieutenant could literally just walk up in here and handcuff me.“I believe he came to talk to Robert.” James replies.“Is he alone?” I inquire. I desire to know as much as possible.“He is not. Another guy is with him.” He says and I gulp. My breathing has quickened again and I am trying my best to calm down.“Where is Robert?” I ask and James scratches behind his neck.“He’s uh..he’s not here.” He says and I swear if I could move my body, I would have broken a vase on the floor out of frustration.“Wher
“Okay, let’s go buddy.” I say to him as he drags his body from the car and stands to his feet once he is out.“Whoopsie..” He says when he almost tilts over and falls. I grab him by his shoulder and I place his arm over me.“I love you so much, James..you help me a lot.” He slurs his words and I sigh.“Be careful with where you step.” I say to him with a smile as I lead him to the back door.Now I can could sneak him into the house from the back here, but I would still have to pass by the Lieutenant in some way for me to be able to take Robert up the stairs and into the guest room.“We are going in now, buddy. Remember..shhh.” I tell him and he chuckles like a two year old.When we reach the back door, I meet Carlos and he helps us by opening the door for us to walk in.“Are they still there?” I inquire from him and he nods. I am referring to the Lieutenant and his companion. I lead Robert in and the stench of
“Shhhh.” I try to keep her calm but she drops the phone on the floor the instance her eyes see the bloody state it is in.She finally stops yelling and she begins hyperventilating.“That’s..that’s blood.” She says as she try not to look at the bloody phone on the floor.“Come with me.” I tell her and I lead her into Robert’s room.She sees Jen laying on the bed, but she focuses back on me.“I can explain.” I say to her as I glance at Jen for a minute.“Explain what? That you had a phone covered with dried human blood?!” She says loudly as she runs her hand through her hair.“Where is Robert? Is he okay?” She asks, worry replacing her panic.I fight the urge to roll my eyes. I have worked for these people for years, is she really trying to say that I could killed Robert?“Robert is fine, he is in the guest room.”I inform her and she begins to take deep breaths to calm herself.***Jen’s POV*
My eyes widen and I immediately try to open the door of the moving car so I can jump out but all the doors are locked. Adrenaline floods every part of my body, it is like it is all happening so fast and I have no control.“What are you doing? Stop that! Do you want to get yourself killed?” Russell shouts as Usman increases the speed of the car so jumping out would seem more painful to me if I decide to do so.“Stay the hell away from me!” I reply to him aggressively when he tries to reach out to me and he raises his hands in surrender.“Okay, okay,” He says and then he settles back into his seat.“What the hell is going on?” I ask after a full minute of silence. I am much calmer right now, I was acting out of instinct when I realized that the person that was sitting next to the driver was Russell.How is that even possible? Was he not in an induced coma a few days ago? “Are you finished with trying to jump out of a speeding car just to avoid me?” Russell replies to me and I hear Usma
“Natalie is smart, I will give her that. She had all the video evidence cleared before we could get our hands on it,” Taylor explains and I at everything else in the room but her.“May I ask, who are you professionally?” I ask her, and she smiles lopsidedly.“I work with the police department in Russia, I am the police chief,” She informs me and I nod slowly. “As I was saying, Natalie made the investigation a lot more difficult for us. Her skills in covering evidence are impressive, but I believe that she got some inside help,” Taylor continues what she was explaining.“And?” I beckon her to explain more. If Natalie covered up our tracks so well, how does she know that Natalie did it? That she was the one that pulled the trigger and not me.“I know you want to know how I know that she was the one who pulled the trigger, and I am going to explain just that to you,” Taylor tells me.“Okay,” I drag the word as I wait for her to tell me what she knows.“I am Russell’s third wife and it h
What in the world is happening? Why am I even being arrested? Even if this is about Russell Marshall’s investigation, the person they should be arresting is Natalie, I was not the one that shot the man in the head.“This has to be a joke, right?” Chad laughs but when he sees that the military guys are not even smiling, he realizes that this is serious.I gave the piece of document that they handed to me, I read it quickly and it authorizes them to arrest me, but what I don’t see is the charge.“Your hands, please,” One of the military guards says a bit softly and I do as he says. I place my hands behind my head and I hear Chad scoff.“Do you want us to do something?” The guards that we have at the entrance ask me but I disagree by wagging my head. It would only make things worse, from experience, going peacefully with the authorities is always the best thing to do.“I am calling Robert, and then the lawyer. We would get this settled in no time,” Chad tries to comfort me as he makes a
Yes, we certainly need to talk. I put Jake down from my arms and he protests that he wants to tell me secretly. James, Natalie, and Cara watch my exchange with him with smiles on their faces.“Okay, what is it?” I ask him as he gets close to my ear.“I love you,” He whispers in my ear and I can not help but smile. Some people say having kids is a nightmare, and the truth is that it is at times, but most of the time, it is the greatest joy anyone could have.“Mommy heats you right back,” I reply to him in a whisper, and he giggles before he runs onto James.I stand upright and I bid James and Jake goodbye as I join Natalie and Cara in the living room.“We have a serious hiccup in our plans,” Cara begins when we have all sat down on the couch.“I know,” I reply to her, and Natalie chuckles but I can hear the worry in her voice.“Of course you do, it is all over the news,” She tells me and I stay quiet, not knowing exactly what to say.“So what are doing?” Cara asks no one in particular
“What do you mean that he’s alive?” I ask Robert as he stands to his feet, he looks worried but that is in no way compared to how I feel right now. Gosh, does Natalie know this? I need more information.“Which news channel did you learn that from?” I fire another question at Robert, not giving him the chance to answer the first. “Here, take a look, it is all over social media, and all the big news broadcasters are airing it,” Robert says as he hands his phone to me. The last time I held it was when I found out that he was partially cheating on me.I can not say that he was actually cheating because he did not sleep with Amanda, but he did receive nudes from her and whatnot. In my book, that is cheating, but I am just going to call it partially cheating in light of what Robert and Amanda explained to me.But that is not the issue at hand right now, we have a huge freaking problem. I need to get dressed and let Natalie and Cara know what has happened.I take the phone from Robert and I
Some might say that we are moving a bit too fast, but I have known Robert for close to a year now. Still, it seems like such a limited amount of time to decide to spend your entire life with someone, but why wait any longer?Robert and I have had our fair share of storms and problems, but we have weathered everyone one of them, plus we have a great support system. Chad, James, Carlos, and Jake are sure to be there for us if we happen to begin to feel the storms of life raging again, and of course, we will.The amount of crazy that I have been through individually is insane, my entire life has been far from normal and I am starting to stop wanting normal. Besides, normal is a bit overrated. Marrying someone you have known for only almost a year is not very expected, or should I say, normal? But that is the thing, I am not normal and do not even want to be anymore.“Well?” Robert asks me as I drag my body off the unmade bed. He suggested that we should get married next week after I ment
I can not believe that this just happened, Robert proposed to me! This is amazing and I feel so good, but I also feel like this is too good and I don’t deserve it. But I am just going to sum that up as insecurity trying to present itself in the form of me not being worth it enough to get proposed to.After I said yes, I think Jake was more excited than everyone else. Chad and the others came out soon after and I have a strong feeling that they somehow knew that Robert was going to propose. Robert placed a very expensive ring on my finger and he rose from his kneeling, I placed Jake in the chair where I was sitting and Robert and I embraced. We then shared a kiss and everyone joined Jake as he clapped. As soon as the applause died, the rain ceased gradually and the sun began to shine through the dark clouds. It seemed too perfect that I literally had to pinch myself two times to make sure that I was not dreaming. Good thing I was not, because I would have been so mad at myself.We e
It is usually sunny here, but today is different, and besides, it is a Saturday. I think the weather chose the best time to be like this, I don’t have to drive Jake to school and I get to spend the entire day with him.Yesterday was so eventful, I had to explain all that happened to me in Russia to Robert, James, Carlos, and Chad about three times before they finally could grasp it all. I also had the responsibility of explaining why I have suddenly decided to trust and forgive someone that caused me so much trauma, Cara was quiet when I took my time to make them all understand that I have finally decided to bury the hatchet concerning what she did.I am not going to pretend like I don’t feel a stab of emotional pain when I look at her, but I am going to try my best to move on. I am currently sitting on the porch alone while listening to the beating of the rain on the ground and roof, it is very soothing and I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Everybody else is in the house and
I open the door of the house and I walk in as Cara follows behind me slowly and tentatively. We are out of Russia and in Cyprus, though only Cara came along. Natalie took a later flight because she wanted to come with Susan, her grandmother.It took us a couple of hours to fly from Russia to Cyprus, especially because I did not have my passport on me. Cara had to pull some strings and call in some favors at airport security, and to my pleasant surprise, it all worked out smoothly.“Are you sure that they would want to see me?” I hear Cara’s voice as we walk further into the house. Everything looks pretty much the same, but I don’t see anyone here. “Where is everyone?” I say to myself in a low tone as I continue to explore the house.Suddenly I hear heavy footsteps and I look toward the source, someone is walking down the stairs. As soon as the person's eyes meet mine, they stop in their tracks.“Whoa, am I tripping, or am I seeing Jen Davis?” Chad asks me and he continues his descent
