2024-10-29 19:42:56She woke to a throbbing headache. She was on a very strange bed and was wearing a strange outfit. She ripped off the needle in her wrist and staggered downstairs.
This was a mansion, she thought.
She heard cluttering coming from a part of the house and walked towards the sound.It was from the kitchen. She moved closer and saw a lady wearing an apron, cooking."Hello?" She called out weakly and the lady turned around. Tess placed her hand on the counter to support her weight.
"You're up," she walked to her and felt her temperature. "Thank goodness, you were burning up and we were getting quite worried.""We?"
"Jason and I. I'm Jason's grandmother, the one your mother's been sending gifts to all these years."
"Nice to finally meet you. I'm sorry for intruding on you like this but can I stay for a little while?" She pleaded.
"You're worried about Barb, aren't you?"
She nodded.

Our Story: Harvey's Life Space
It was still dark. Tess opened her eyes briefly and saw that it wasn't morning yet. Wait, it was morning. The large curtains just weren't open yet. She was tangled together with Jason. Her legs were wrapped around his and she noticed her hands were hugging him tightly. Before he woke up, she took time to admire his features. Jet black hair, a perfect nose and a nice jawline. Watching him sleep made him look like a sleeping prince.Her eyes were focused on his lips. Did she feel a sense of closeness? In thirteen years, she hadn't had a relationship. No love, no sex and no feeling of being loved. He really made her wanna try it again, without the involvement of Mr. Harvey. She wanted a real relationship but was he the one? Should she give it a go? He breathed in deeply and his eyeballs moved under his eyelids. He was waking up. She shut her eyes quickly and relaxed her body. Jason w

Jason was in deep thought as the warm water splattered on him. He was in the shower getting ready for his date with Tess. When she brought up the idea, he didn't believe her. He thought she was joking. She would never ask him on a date, he thought, but here he was, getting ready for what's gonna be the best day of his life. "Are you done yet?" She called from outside the bathroom."Almost!" He answered, turned off the water and fetched a towel. He wrapped the towel round his waist and stepped out the shower. She was sprawled on the bed, holding a toothbrush."You can go in now," he pulled her up."I like the view," she winked at him and went in. Pink crept up his cheeks and he felt shy almost immediately. He proceeded to dry his hair and body before she was done. By the time she came out, he was almost dressed. He had his pants on but his shirt wasn't. "I couldn't find a robe," Tess complained as she m

"So she's Hailey's step sister?" Tess asked as Jason drove them."Yeah, Hailey's father married her mother a year ago.""My first thought was that you guys dated once," she teased."How dare you think of me that way?" He scoffed."Where are we headed?""We're going shopping!" He squealed like a teenage girl."Calm down girl!" Tess joked with a weird accented high-pitched voice."I'm so hyped for the party!" He said in that exact same voice, pronouncing 'party' as 'partey'."OMG! I love your eyebrows girlfriend!""Like, I don't know what to wear. Gideon asked me to be his girlfriend and I don't know to say!""Just date him yah!" "Really?" Jason said in his real voice as they laughed."We look cute, seriously. Don't you agree?" Tess asked the attendant at the store who was trying really hard to contain her smile. Tess and Jason were dressed in jean jumpsuits. They looked like cowboys

"So, we know for a fact that Mr. Harvey is linked to the murders and the rape, right? But there's no evidence!" Caleb banged his fist on the table, giving everyone a startle. "Sorry." "Should we start investing?" Diana asked Tess."Of course, but I won't be joining you.""What? Why?" "I'm moving back to Texas," she announced."That's not possible," Mitch stood up to her level."It is. I've requested for a new team leader for you guys. If the request is granted, he should be here in two weeks. Until then, I'm all yours." "But, why?" David asked."I'm sorry?""Why can't you do it?" Eva crossed her arms over her chest."Because I don't want to. I don't want to face him all over again. The only reason I became so attached to this case was because of Lucas's picture. We've been searching for weeks and we can't find out whether he's alive or not and I'm beginning to doubt myself." "You s

"Are you done already? It's a meeting, not a date!" Jason yelled as he picked up his keys and proceeded to walk up the stairs. She appeared, wearing black ripped jeans, a black shirt and a holster, keeping her guns in. She wore a large jacket over herself."Are you wearing a nose ring?" He looked closely at her."Yeah, this is how I dressed back in highschool," she smiled. "Seeing Lucas really brought back a lot of memories.""Or does he bring back your feelings?" Jason wiggled his eyebrows at her."Don't make me take back my kiss," she teased and they walked out together."About that," he asked slowly as he opened the door. "Does that mean we're a thing now?""A thing?" She walked to the car as he opened the door."I mean,what are we now?"He entered."We're friends," she buckled up."Just friends?""What do you mean by 'just friends'?" She drew imaginary quotes around the phrase.He had already started dri

"So,he just disappeared?" Mitch asked. "Yes," Tess nodded. "And I have no clue where he is.""Are you sure it's not a prank? Jason can be a little childish sometimes," Eva said."Yeah, judging by the note too," Diana agreed. "No, this prank is too big for him to pull off," Tess shrugged. She had only one suspect in mind."C'mon Luke." Tess had no option but to go to Mr. Harvey's house. She felt that he had something to do with Jason's disappearance. This house is a city, she thought as she walked in.There he was. Standing there, looking as if he hadn't aged at all. He was coming down the stairs slowly and Tess could feel her heart pounding already. She turned around and slipped a pill into her mouth. She chewed vigorously and walked to the living room. "Detective Harvey, NYPD," she held up her badge.

"Why did you kiss me?" Tess asked Jason.They had moved away from the team."Is that the first thing you're gonna say to me? I've been here missing you like crazy." "Why didn't you scream when you were being taken away?" She hit him on the chest, hard."Ouch." "I was so worried! I kept assuring everyone that you were gonna show up and I almost became crazy! Luke was frustrating me so much and I was already having a hard time. We didn't have a clue about where you were or who took you! Then, you show up and asked if I missed you! Are you crazy? I couldn't even tell your grandma!" She was crying. "Tess, are you crying because of me?" He pulled her closer."Who's crying?" She wiped her tears. "Do you think you're that important?""I'm sorry," he pulled her into a hug. "I should have screamed and asked you to save me." She was still sobbing."I thought you had left me too," she pul

"Cheers!" They all clinked their glasses."I asked you guys to pick an expensive place and this is it?" Tess expressed her disdain."What? What's wrong with my restaurant? You're in the second angle! Celebrities come here." Johnson gently slapped Tess's head."I had no idea you were there," Tess chuckled. "You look fancy, any occasion?""I'm going on a date," he winked and the group simpered. "Let me guess, Alessia?" Tess took a wild guess."How did you know?" He was turning pink."I'm happy for you old folks too," she sipped her wine. "I'm gonna stay single forever." "Why would you? You have Jason!" Johnson said as he walked off when the waiters brought their food."We're not in a relationship!" She yelled at him and whispered a low 'sorry' to her fellow diners. "Then what do you call what you guys have?" Caleb prompted."A situationship," she forked her steak."What's that?"

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

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?"

"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.

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.

"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.

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?"

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."~~~
