“I think someone in my family knows something about all this.” He said and Ruby gasped. What in the world was he talking about? And she asked him that much. This was really not funny if that was what he was trying for, but she knew it was not. There was no humor on his face or in his eyes. He was damn serious about this. Why would he think that? And he had talked about how his name was the name she had seen on the package those years ago. How would that be his name, when she knew his…Oh wait, she knew he was called Cameron Ezekiel MacMillan, so maybe the first name and surname were turned into the initials, and then the Hebrew name was… Damn it, she wasn’t sure what that meant. All she had done was look up how to pronounce it, and not what it meant. When Cameron saw the confusion in her eyes, he decided to explain the name part and why he thought someone he knew was behind the payment of her school fees. But the reason was still so very unknown to him. “What do you think all of
Ruby sat in Cameron’s office at the house and waited for the detective to start whatever it was he was trying to say. He had arrived about ten minutes ago, and Cameron had requested her to be there because she had something to do with what they had discussed. “First of all, Mr. MacMillan. Are you sure you want her to be here for this?” he asked, glancing at her, and then he said. "I mean, I could explain it to you, and then you can talk to her about it later.” Ruby wondered what he was trying to hide from her and she was glad that Cameron had called her in as well. Whatever it was, they would hear it together. After that night, which was a whole week ago, she had been getting nervous about what the findings could be, or how long it might take, but now that it was here, then she would get the closure she had always wanted, the one she desperately needed. “Don’t worry, detective. This is about her more than it is about me.” He said to him as he settled against the couch she also sat
"Can you make this all make a little more sense?” Cameron asked. All these still looked like he was having a dream in another dream, because this all couldn't be real, not at all. He would disagree about a hundred times if he had to. This was definitely not true. “How did you find this security camera that captured this if he had scrubbed everything as you said?” he said. The detective shrugged. "As I said, it wasn't easy, but I asked for help from my buddy in the feds. He was the one that got this footage for me. The security camera was installed to look like a fake, but it wasn’t. No one knew I didn't know that, and some people on the police force certainly didn't know that as well. The feds had had it installed for one of their operations and never had it removed even after the operation officially ended.” He sure looked pleased, like what he had found out was the best thing since pizza. But, to the people that this concerned, they definitely weren't pleased, not by a long shot
Besides Cameron, he could hear the voice of the detective calling Ruby as he held her in his arms, and shook her. Even though his voice was so loud, it del like he was calling her from a distance, and his eyes were fixated on the woman that was in his arms. His hands started to tremble, non-stop, and even though he tried, he was unable to stop the shivering. It took everything in him just to breathe, even though he was scared to death the woman he loved was unmoving in his arms. It was almost as if his lungs might have stopped working along with hers that looked the same, as he could hear a single breath from her. His heart was hammering against his chest as well, and he didn't know what to do at that moment. At first, when Ruby fainted, he knew he should call an ambulance, but he didn't want to accept that she might not be able to wake up on her own. The shock of the news she heard might have caused something to happen, or an underlying ailment to activate, like a ticking time bo
It's been a solid hour since Cameron sat outside the hospital in the garden with his hand in his pocket and a lot going through his head. He had left the room and come out here when Ruby told him to leave because she didn't want to see him yet, whatever that meant. She was probably blaming him, but that was fine. He was blaming himself as well. It didn't help matters that his family was here; his mother and father, Davey must have called them. He said there in silence, when though his phone buzzed in his pocket for a while now. Someone had been calling him about fifteen minutes after he came out but he had refused to get his phone out of his pocket or pick it up. It was of no use right now, not when the woman he was madly in love with was in this state, and not when she had walked him out.Soon, he heard the rustling of a person’s footsteps behind him, but this was a public place, so it could be anyone, but when the person stopped at his back, he knew they were there for him. “Cam
When the phone rang, Ruby was sitting in the living room back at home with Olivia sitting on the couch in front of her. She was telling her about how many times Cameron had called her just to speak with her. She picked up her phone and frowned down at it, not sure she wanted to pick up a call from a strange number. For all she knew, it could be Cameron, but then again, this wasn't his number. She would have recognized it if it was, as she had it memorized. Besides, she knew he wouldn't call her again after he had done it several times but she hadn't picked it up. “Who’s that?” Olivia asked and Ruby lifted her shoulder in a shrug. “I don't know who it is.” She said. She wasn't a psychic so she couldn't possibly know who was calling her. Olivia was convinced it might be Cameron though, because of the look in her eyes. She was even more angry than she was, on her behalf, she would say every time they talked about it. “Then you won't if you don't pick it up. You can drop your phone a
“Dad, ask your wife why she did all that. Please do, because I'm on a very thin line with withholding my anger here.” Cameron said as he looked from his mother to his father. He was really angry. He had waited until Gomez gave him all the proofs to take to her before coming over to confront her. Although he hadn't done anything wrong, he had to shoulder the responsibility for what her actions had caused, and the hate directed towards him by Ruby, a woman he was madly in love with. "What are you doing here, Cam?” Sarah asked behind him. They had talked about this, and she had begged him not to cause a scene, but he just couldn't. It wasn't something he could do. "You should go home and leave Mom. You look really exhausted." She said, observing him.Cameron wanted to roll his eyes because he knew she was only saying that to make him leave and stop yelling at their mother like that. Well, he didn't mean to be disrespectful, but he just couldn't stay quiet any longer. “Stay out of this,
She waited there, waiting for Davey to come to get the door as she pressed the doorbell, but when the door ripped open, it was someone unexpected that opened it. Cameron!But, it wasn't entirely strange that he was the one that answered the door, after all, it was his house. She started up at him for a long moment, actually, she wasn't sure how long she had stood there staring at him, but when he cleared his throat, she snapped herself out of the daze she had been in. The truth was not that she didn’t know what to say as she watched him, but the fact that she realized at that moment how much she had missed him and how much she had wanted to see him. She had not even realized it sooner until that moment. His beauty, just as he looked on at her, his elegance, as he stood there, his stance, and the way the light behind him in the hallway, made him look even better than he was. Not that he wasn't handsome or anything though. There was something about seeing a man one was in love with
