"How did you know he didn't kill them?" Diana asked.

"The girl said the person talking to him seemed like his boss. Moreover, the DNA found under one of the girls fingernails doesn't belong to him." She explained as she drove them back to their quarters. "It's yet to be identified but it isn't his. The only thing we can pin on him is kidnapping."

    "So he has a boss?" Caleb said, stroking his chin.

    "I just said that."

"Why did you rile him up like that?" Diana asked out of curiosity.

"Criminals like him have a motive when they kidnap. Didn't you notice him looking at us? He also grabbed my... y'know. He's sexually frustrated." She pulled in their parking lot. "I figured, since he didn't kill them, someone else must have also slept with them.

   "Wow, we're so lucky to have you here. I bet they liked you in Texas too," Caleb said.

    "Can I get discharged now?" She asked one of the nurses."No, you must at least spend the night here," she smiled sweetly."Thanks," she walked gently back into her room. "Of course, trust me Barb. I'm gonna stick to her like gum," Johnson said on the phone as he winked at her. "Just have a goodnight, I'm with her. Yes, bye." He disconnected the call. Luke and Jason were on the couch."Was that my mom?" She asked as she took a seat."Yeah, I had to tell her," he sighed."Now, everyone leave." She gestured to the door."Do you think I was joking when I said I was staying here with you?" Jason removed his coat mad rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. Luke removed his tie and opened the briefcase. They sat on the floor and brought out their papers. Johnson crossed his legs and sat on the couch. Tess brought out her phone and tried to FaceTime Caleb.

    "I want you to be my date to the jewelry exhibition," Jason said to her and handed over a bag."No thanks, I'm busy." She returned it."Just this once!" He pulled her arm."I'm busy," she removed her wrist from his grip. "Get the model to go with you, I'm sure she would be glad to.""Are you usually this hard to please?" He placed the bag in her car. He unbuttoned his suit and entered his car. Tess arrived at the shoe store and went in through the back."We found something!" Diana said as she entered. "What is it?" She removed her jacket and placed it on her chair."James Sullivan is attending an exhibition tonight.""An exhibition? How can a jobless man be invited to an exhibition?" She asked.

    "He's your boyfriend?" James asked and smiled at Jason. "He seems protective.""He's not my boyfriend, he just came back from a visit to the psychiatrist," she smiled nervously."Can I have your number?" He extended his phone. "Of course," she took it and typed in her number."I'll see you around," he walked away. She looked at him with a death glare and walked out with him hot on her heels. "Tess, wait!" He grabbed her hand at the entrance and pulled her to a stop in front of the security guard. She dealt a loud slap."Ouch," the security guard mocked."Yeah, I deserve that. You have every right to be mad.." She dealt him another one. His face was turning red now. She removed the belt from her waist and handed it over to him. Along with th

    She tossed and turned around in bed until she was finally awake. She opened her eyes and stretched. She looked to her left and Jason was no longer there. She stood up and saw a note pasted on her mirror. •good morning. Thanks for helping me last night. Does this mean I'm forgiven?• She squeezed the note and threw it in the bin. While she was brushing her teeth, a text came in from Diana. *James is currently at Doc's Gym* She freshened up quickly and wore her sport bra, her joggers and a pair of black Nike. She grabbed a hoodie and ran downstairs."Should I bring your breakfast to the gym?" Barb asked her daughter."No, thank you! I'm going somewhere else today." She ran out to her car. She pulled out of the driveway and headed to Doc's. "Good morning. Is this your first time here?" A guy asked at the reception."Yeah."

    She moved around on her bed and finally opened her eyes. This time, angry faces surrounded her. She tried to sit up when Jason's venomous voice stopped her. "Don't you dare!" He raised a finger at her."What happened?" She managed to ask."You fainted, again," Luke sat beside her and wiped a little sweat from her forehead."I'm fine," she tried to sit. David moved quickly and cuffed her hands to the bed."What is going on? Uncuff me!" She tried to break free."You heard the man, don't you dare,"Luke repeated. "Theresa!" Barb burst through the room door."Mom?""My baby," she started crying. "We've both been so busy we didn't have time to take care of each other," she sniffled."I'm fine, really," she repeated."You're fine?" Luke also said. "Is t

    They found Alessia and Johnson. She was badly beaten up. There were purple bruises all over her body. She called Johnson when she started coughing up blood. "You're still not gonna tell us how this happened?" Luke asked for the fourteenth time. She avoided his eyes and looked away. "That's it, I give up," he stood up. "You're still gonna stay with him? Even after all this?" Tess asked Alessia directly.Luke and Johnson looked at each other confused."Stay with who?" Luke asked."I love him," she croaked out."Love who?" Johnson pressed further."Her fiancé." Tess replied nonchalantly."Hold up a second, I'm getting confused," Luke stood up and Johnson sat down."You mean your fiancé did this to you?"

    "Mom,I can't come home tonight." She said into the phone. "I think I should just stay for the night. Don't worry, I'm fine. Goodnight," She disconnected the call. "Lying? Seriously?" Caleb sat beside her."We have to work and I can't afford to go home right now." "I checked the number you asked for. The call was made from a burner phone. The burner phone was meant to call James only. We can't track it." Diana accounted. "This is getting more complicated,"David said and Mitch snored away."Get up!" Diana kicked Mitch in the butt."Ow!" He says from his sleep. "Let me rest, I don't wanna end up like somebody." Tess narrowed her eyes at him and moved closer. She picked up a pillow and smacked him."Ow!" He woke up."Say it again.""No thank you," he said quickly. "I'm gonna head over to the hospital. I need to talk to the girls again." Tess announced.

    "Hello?" Luke called Johnson."I told you not to call me, dick." "I think Tess is in trouble!" He said hurriedly."What?!" "Jason installed a tracking device on her phone and asked her to contact him whenever she's in trouble. She contacted him thrice. We tried locating her but we're outside town still looking for her. Do you have anyone's number from her team?" "Yes! I have Caleb's number. I'll call him!" "What?!" Caleb shouted. "Diana! Track Ms. Harvey now!""On it!" She tapped on her keyboard for a few seconds. "What?""What is it?""She's outside town. In a junkyard.""A junkyard?"Mitch asked and she nodded."She's in a junkyard outside town. Two miles to be precise," Caleb communicated over the phone.

    The doctor pointed a little light into her eyes as she blinked."I'm really happy for you," he said to Jason who was full of smiles. Grandma, Barb, Alessia, Johnson and Lucas were all there."Can you walk?" He asked her.She tried to stand up as Jason helped her up. Her legs were a bit wobbly but she could stand."You'll need therapy," he advised. "I'll sign you up for our therapy class. It's just one week. It'll realign your muscles."After the doctor left, everyone expressed their happiness. How glad they were that she woke up. They filled her in on what she had missed. She was most especially glad to see Lucas. After hanging out for a while, they all left, leaving Tess and Jason alone."You know, you really scared me," Jason said as he stroked her hair. They were lying beside each other on the hospital bed. "Why didn't you wear a vest?""Because I never thought he would shoot me," she said weakly."He's a psycho, I'm glad he's

    "Search them," one of the guards said to the other one who searched Tess and Tae-ho. They took away all their weapons."Follow me," he said and they did. They walked into a toilet and Tess saw that bird sculpture that was at his house. The man touched it and a wall opened."Why am I not surprised?" Tess said sarcastically and it earned her a glare from the guard. They went down through an elevator and the doors opened. Mr. Harvey was sitting on a chair with Jack and James beside him. Lucas and a woman were on their knees too.That must be Fei, Tess's subconsciousness filled in for her."Fei!" Tae-ho whisper-yelled.

    Tess was scooping down the soup her mother made before she left that morning. Everyone else was sprawled out on the living room floor. The couples were all cuddling except for Luke and Jack. Jason let out a yawn as he walked down the stairs."Good morning," Tess greeted and waved her hand. He scoffed. "I'm surprised to see you like this," he pecked her. "No hangover?""Nah, just a little headache," she smiled."Your recovery ability is great." Jack stood up hurriedly and ran outside."You better not puke in my compound!" She yelled after him."He's gonna be in a very bad shape," Jason chuckled. "What are you eating?""Chicken soup.""I want some," he bent down and she fed him."It's too early for all this," Luke walked into the kitchen, straight to the fridge."Good morning," Jason greeted and he nodded as he drank his water."I can't believe you're s

She exclaimed."You're on your way to becoming a celebrity," Eva snickered."Seriously guys, " Caleb called them together. "How are we gonna get the cure for Jason? The warrant's taking too long to be approved." "How about a sting operation?" Tess suggested."What's that?" Diana asked."A deceptive operation. We deceive him into revealing his crimes.""Sounds good." "No,it does not," Jack objected."You're still here?" David sighed."According to the report you gave me, he recognizes all of you. How will you carry out a sting operation? And by the way,I'm the boss here," he folded his arms across his chest. "Yeah and it annoys us so much!"

    "I don't like him," Eva groaned."Me neither," Caleb stood up."Can't we just do something about it? Like can't we write to the headquarters and demand a new leader?" David inquired."Even if that's gonna happen, he has to spend two weeks training us before he leaves," Caleb told them."Well, that sucks," Mitch muttered. "It seemed like he has history with Boss.""I felt the tension too," David agreed. Tess drove in and walked into the house."Jason?" She called out as she entered."I'm right here!" He said from the couch."How are you feeling?" She sat beside him. "Any changes?""No," he sighed."Whatever you need, I'm here." He turned to her with a smile."There is something I want.""What?"

They all stood outside the station, waiting for the new team leader."What's taking him so long?" Mitch complained."He should be here by now," Caleb said, wiping his sweat."I think he's here," Tess motioned to the car that drove in. They watched as he parked his car and got off."His back looks familiar," she muttered. He grabbed a bag from the backseat and walked towards them. As he approached, Tess swallowed hard. "Tess," he said out.There was something about the way he called her name."You're the new team leader?" She questioned."I guess I am," he chuckled. "I offered to fill in for you.""Why would you do that?" She asked."Because we have unfinished business."~~~
