"You knew he was going to betray us?" Mitch asked as he pulled a blanket over Diana.
"Yes, Max came by earlier."'''
"Let's talk," he called her over."I'm sorry about what my team did when they were with you. I never knew they were under orders."
"Whose orders?""Cap.""That old fart," she muttered."I know you tapped his office. He knows.""That's why we haven't been hearing anything lately," she wondered."He has someone on your team.""What? No, he doesn't have anyone on my team.""I'm sure of it. They were talking to each other this morning. I don't know what you're planning but someone is working for Cap.""Jack," Tess murmured.
"He is acquainted with your father too. I've seen him frequent him office recently.""You still recognise my dad?""Of course,I can't forget his face when Aunt Monica walked in on the wedding day.""Why are you helping me?" Tess aske
"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. "Well look who finally showed up," He cackled."Hey Dad," Tess greeted."Theresa," he called gently. "Why do you keep interfering with my business?""You interfered with my business first,old man," she hissed. "You took Lucas, injected Jason and still have the audac
One month later..."You're here," Barb greeted Jason and his grandma as they walked in.It was Tess's hospital room. She laid on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her nose."Sorry I'm late,I had some issues to settle," he hugged her."Let's go," Jason's grandma called Barb."See you later," she took her bag and left with her.Jason took a seat beside her and brought out his papers.One month ago...The night of the incident..."Here's the cure," Lucas ran to Jason's hospital room."Who are you?" The doctor asked."Lucas Henderson, Tess sent me here," he gave the vial to him but the doctor looked at him weirdly with all the blood on him."It's safe, I made it," he persuaded him and he injected Jason."Doctor," Luke walked in but stopped when he saw Lucas."Luke," Lucas called slowly.Luke was confused for a while. He was trying to recognize him."It's me, Lucas." He hugged him fiercel
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
"Tess,wake up. We're gonna be late for school," my best friend, Ivy Martinez shook me."Nu-uh. Just a little more of it," I murmured with my eyes still closed.We had a sleepover the previous night and we slept at about 2.am even though we knew that we had school the following morning which was now."Come on Tessy," she nudged me.I squirmed in my bed like a worm and muttered some swear words away from the hearing of Ivy. That girl really hated swear words. "I'm set already," I heard her say."What!"
It was him. That devil that just returned from hell. I didn't even know that son of a gun.I rolled my eyes at him and started walking to class. I was already late because of that stunt Alessia pulled.He walked by my side and tried to wrap his arms around me but I shook it off."You're pretty,"he smirked at me."Thanks,it means a lot." I snickered at him as I walked to my locker to pick my note.I kept walking as he also kept tugging at my hoodie."Can you move?" He was standing in front of me."You're different," he smiled and I think I melted."Again, thanks," I brushed past him but he pulled me back by my wrist.He pulled me close to him that our noses were touching. He smelled like roses and his breath, like milk.My hand was poking his abs and I looked down."Checking me out?"He grinned widely at me.
"Hey baby." Luke said into my ears. "What do you want,ass?""Theresa Octavia Harvey, didn't I ask you not to swear?" Ivy smacked me."Sorry Mom," I smiled at her."Your real name is Theresa?" Luke said to me."Shut up." I glared at him."You guys look cute together," Scott said, making goo- goo eyes at me."I know, right?" Luke agreed."Theresa, Luke, your ship name could be Thuke." Ivy opined."Sounds like puke," I grimaced."Or Leresa?" She said dreamily."In your dreams.""You're in my dreams," Luke said and I groaned."What do you want?" I faced him. He was really getting on my nerves by being around me."Great question,Theresa," he said, looking straight at me."Could you please not call me that?""Be my date to Lucas's pool party this saturday," he dropped.I sat s
I woke up with the sunlight resting on my face. A pair of large arms was wrapped around my waist.It was very comforting and secure. I couldn't even remember when I fell asleep last night.Luke continued his riddles and I.... Wait, Luke? I tried to stand up but I was held back by his arms.I turned,still in his embrace, to look at him.He was sleeping peacefully and his brown hair covered his forehead.His lips suddenly curved into a smile."Enjoy it while it lasts." His brown eyes peeled into mine. "I know I'm hard to resist but you've been staring at me for a while." I scoffed at him as I pulled up."I'm gonna go take a shower." I told him."Lock the door when you leave.""I'm not leaving, we're going to school together."He walked into the kitchen and I walked after him."Aren't you gonna change your clothes?" "It's
That freaking day finally arrived.The day where I got to stand in front of Luke in a bikini.Actually, it's not a big deal because I've been in front of a lot of guys, half naked.But, it's not just any guy we're talking about here.It was Luke, asshole, playboy and dick of the century.I sighed for the hundredth time as I stood in front of my closet, scattered.I couldn't find a perfect bikini. They were either too flashy or too dull, too tight or too loose."Just choose one, woman!"Ivy yelled at me. She was already in a blue bikini.It has lines and made it look like it was tied to her body. She wore a shirt and shorts as cover up."The boys are ready." She announced.We were all getting dressed in my house. It was Luke's idea since my house was obviously the biggest. Then after dressing up, we would leave fo

"Don't worry mom," Tess said on the phone. "I'll be back in two days. Alright, I won't skip my meals." They were all getting ready for the infiltration. "Where's the smoke bomb?" Caleb asked Tess. "Uh, it's right next to the darts," she answered as she typed a message. °im going somewhere, I'll see you when I arrive. Be healthy for me 🙂° She sent it to Jason and her phone was placed on vibration."All phones on vibration please," she said to everyone and they obeyed. "Alright," she called their attention. "You all know we may die right?" They nodded."And our bodies may never be found?" They nodded again."If you wanna opt out, this is the time to do so. I won't hold any hard feelings against you, I promise." "We're not leav
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
"You're a legend!" Mitch exclaimed."What do you mean?" Tess said. "Jason Gerard's mystery woman is the real deal. The clothes she wore on his latest Instagram update has been sold out," he read out."Really?" 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?" She asked."A date," he replied. She kept looking at him."A date?" She repeated."Yeah, I mean, I might die anytime soon and I want to do what I've always w
"So,your request has been processed?" Diana said."Seems like it," Tess sighed."What are we going to do?" "First,we have to know who's coming," Tess said. "Let's go." 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."~~~
