"Tessa?" Ryder called out. 

    Tess was staring at the screen of the phone placed in front of her. 

   "I told you," Luke said and turned the phone to himself. "She's not talking."

    "I don't blame her," Stella joined in the conversation. "It's a miracle she was saved, she must be in shock."

   "That's the most likely cause," Luke said. "Her mom is freaking out. I sent her home to get some sleep."

        It's been two weeks since she developed aphasia. Well, at least she eats two meals a day. The case she was currently working on had been transferred to Max's team. Her team was lounging around town like it was a vacation and Tess was still on her sick bed. 

    "I'm back Tess!" Jason entered with a smile. "Hey," he greeted Luke.

  "Good, you're here. I have to make a quick stop at the office," he walked towards the door.

"Later," he waved af

    "Of course you know him. You kissed me in front of him," Tess smacked him and everyone began clearing their throats, making weird faces. "What? He was caught in the moment." "No. I've seen him before that exhibition. I just can't remember," he slammed his fist on the table."It's cool dude, give yourself some time." She advised. "One of the girls gave me new information. She said the voice she heard was an elderly man's voice. I think she saw him though. I had the recording on my phone but it's gone now." "Forensics just contacted me," Diana stood up and turned on the computers in the room."Why?" Tess asked."The families of the victims requested for a second autopsy so I just got the results.""It said they were strangled before their body parts were cut off. I saw pressure marks on their necks." Tess described. "Oh my God!" Diana said and brought her palm to her mouth.

    She threw him a bottle of water and walked to the living room. He followed her and they sat on the floor. Nobody said a word for about two minutes until Jason broke the silence. "You're having trouble sleeping?""Yeah, you?" She asked."The company's having some problems, you almost died, but I guess that's enough for me to worry about." "I remember the face you made," she laughed. "You were crying!""Hey," he pointed a finger at her with a smile. "Don't blame me, I thought you were gonna die." "You looked so emotional," she laughed out loud. "Like you were about to lose your love." "It was like that," he replied. "It felt like my whole world was crumbling down." "You shouldn't get hung up on a person like me." She took a gulp. "You deserve someone better." "You are someone better. You're the best!" He faced h

    "You said you didn't like her anymore," Jason said."I don't remember saying that. I've liked her for thirteen years, it's not easy letting her go.""So, you're not gonna let her go?" He asked."Of course," he looked prepared."Even if she never likes you?""She's gonna like me." He said confidently."Why are you so sure?" Jason pressed further."I don't think you have any right to ask that. I'm your employee, you don't need to know everything about me." Black straight gown that reached a little bit above her knee with net covering her cleavage. It was an armless gown which was covered by a black jacket. A belt wrapped around her small waist held her jacket with her dress. She was wearing black heels paired with a black handbag. She was coming down the stairs, the guys saw her and kept quiet. She brought out a fascinator from behind her, and donned it. T

    "Two minutes people!" The director yelled as he passed by Jason. He walked up to Tess who was sitting on a chair, a magazine in her hand. "We're almost done, why did you come?" Jason asked."So, you thought I was gonna miss the chance of a lifetime to see half naked men walking around for free?" She rolled her eyes."I thought you were here to see me," he pouted."Please," she scoffed. "Where's the kid?""He was through with his part, it's all me now." Two weeks after the cemetery visit.After their little moment in the car, Tess gave Jason the lecture of a lifetime. Luke and Tess weren't talking much but they still greeted each other. The team was still lounging around looking for clues. They all took this opportunity as a breather. James was nowhere to be seen. Jason still can't remember where he had seen James before.

    "Repeat that," Tess said to Caleb on the phone."Iron Man was released, the case is closed," he sighed."Whose orders?""Cap." "Who the fuck is Cap?!" She screamed as she almost kicked Jason's car.They were standing in front of a Starbucks."The captain!" He screamed back. "Look,I'm frustrated right now. Lemme call you back.""Don't you dare hang up on me!""Okay, fine! What do you want?" He asked her gently."Everyone should assemble at the station right now! I'm on my way," she disconnected the call and turned around to talk to Jason but he was nowhere to be seen. A loud honk startled her."Get in!" He shouted from the driver's seat and unlocked the door for her."Where to?" He asked as she fastened her seat belt."NYPD." "Detective Harvey," the captain stood up and faced her. "Why ar

    "Wow, you've gone through a lot," Tony sat opposite Tess in the diner. "I've been so busy with school work that I had to quit my job here and I didn't even get your number." "You could have asked my mom," she sipped her coffee."Your mom? I've never seen her before, does she come here frequently?" "There she is," Tess pointed at Barb who was walking to the back of the diner."That's the boss, how is she your mom?" He scoffed."My name is Theresa Harvey," She took a gulp."I know.""What's your boss's name?" "Barbara Harvey," he said slowly."What's the name of this place?""Theresa's...Diner," he said, reality dawned on him. "Oh my gosh! I had no idea!" He placed his hands on his face. "This feels embarrassing." "It is."He groaned. "So,how's your girl?""Vanessa? She has a new boyfriend." "You still haven't told her how you feel?" Tess shook her head.

    "Don't worry, you'll do great. It's just a launch," Jason squeezed her hands."Just because I agreed to come here doesn't mean I want you close," she removed her hand from his."But I do," he moved closer and kissed her. She moved away swiftly and rolled her eyes at him. She pinched him through his pink trousers and moved closer, "Try that one more time and you're gone." He smirked and pulled her face towards his. He French kissed her as he entangled her tongue with his. After he pulled back, she was still."I'm still here." She delivered a sharp head butt into his chest and he groaned in pain."I was aiming for your head but you have a launch to attend to," she winked."This is one of the reasons why I'm attracted to you," he pecked her cheek. She was wearing a long white dress with silver lining. It had a slight opening revealing the space betw

    After the launch,a lot of people wanted to meet Jason so Tess left without telling him.Meanwhile,back at the police station,the team was facing difficulties trying to get into the Captain's office. "I'm going in," Mitch announced and rose up."Be careful," Diana pulled him and gave him the bug. "I will, wish me luck," he fist bumped David. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.No answer. He opened the door a bit and peeped through the little space. It was empty.He slipped in silently and looked around for a place to stick the bug. The table? Nah,it was too obvious. He looked closer at the flower vase on the table and an idea came to mind. He emptied the vase and threw the bug in and then rearranged the flowers back into the vase. "What are you doing?" Captain's voice startled him and he almost knocked the vase over.

    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.

"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.

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

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."~~~
