Sunday, the 8th of May

01:15pm.

The office was not so bad, it was spacious and had an excellent view of the moving city below from the third floor. Chester stood at the centre of the room, taking in the sight and the careful arrangement of everything down to the paper weight on the very polished oak desk. The large sofa chair behind the desk backed the ceiling to floor windows and the amount of light that flooded in through the windows was enough to brighten up the place and it over shadowed the lights from the chandelier. He liked the place, he had to admit that it had been arranged to his taste and liking.

He walked around the large desk, there was enough space between the chair and the windows to place another of this desk/ he knew what grand father wanted to do, he wanted to get him used to this kind of life style again so that he would come back but Chester was not ready to become some body’s puppet, working and slaving away to impress his grand fathe

    Sunday, the 8th of May.01:47pmChester felt stressed, even though he had not done any work yet he still felt stressed, the environment was not friendly and it suffocated him as well. The suit was too uncomfortable, his hair itched, the shoes were too loud, tapping on the floors as he walked, his tie was too tight; he loosened that. The place smelled of work and pride, smelled of power and money and every thing else which his grand father loved and he did not so much.As he walked past the offices, he felt like the people who worked in here were some kind of trained robots, not supposed to speak because they kept their voices low and spoke in hushed tones, maintaining total silence when he walked by them, only to continue after he was out of sight but he could still hear some of them speak, they talked about him and only about him after he passed them.He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, the elevator was just too damn far even though it wa

    Sunday, the 8th of May.04:10pm“No!” Trisha thundered in the interrogation room, slamming her palm on the table and standing up abruptly. “You will tell me why I had to be dragged all the way here from the park when I had explicitly made it clear to you people that I had a date to go to and still you stopped me!”“Trisha I will need you to calm down right now!” Tia also shouted, still seated and looking Trisha in the eye, anger and impatience evident in her eyes. “There was a reason why we had to bring you here and if you calm down…”“Then tell me, what is your excuse?”Tia sucked in a deep breath and continued. “And if you will just calm down, then I will explain every thing to you.”Trisha hesitated for a while, looking around the room and rolling her eyes before she sat down and crossed her legs, also folding her hands across her chest. She looked at Tia

    10:16 pm“So what have you been busy with lately?” Chester asked her, trying to get a conversation going. He placed the two plates of food down on the counter and pulled out a seat for Tia.“Thank you.” She smiled and sat, then sighed before answering his question. “I have been busy with work lately, that is what I have been doing.”“Hmm…” He sat opposite her and grabbed a bottle of wine from underneath the counter, giving Tia a coy smile with one eye brow raised. She chuckled. “I usually keep this in handy, you never know when a beautiful lady might pop in and you have to make dinner for her.” He winked.“Ohh… so you have done this before.” She smirked at him.“What..? oh no, no. You can see that the bottle is new, unopened and still full.” He defended, she had twisted the meaning in his words.She leaned in closer and whispered, locking her ey

    Monday, the 9th of May.08:12amThe continuous buzzing sound from her phone disrupted her sleep and her eyes shot open, she rolled over unto her stomach and closer to the dresser, then stretched her hand to reach her phone. She grabbed it, and without checking the caller ID, she slides on the receiver icon.“Hello,” Her voice was hoarse and her throat felt dry. She cleared her air ways and tried again. “Hello?”“Hey Tia,” The voice on the other end of the line was familiar, very familiar and she had recently spoken to this person, even just yesterday. Her eye brows furrowed.“Chester?”“You recognized my voice,” He chuckled on the other end, she could hear some bustling sound coming from his end and could guess that he must be at the coffee shop.She propped up on her elbows. “How did you get my number? I do not remember giving it to you.”He laughed. &ldqu

    Monday, the 9th of May.10:33pmThe club was packed today as it had always been, the people loved coming in here, one for their esteemed reputation and for the fact that it was a popular place but it was not local, they had their rules and they had their guide lines. It was mad expensive but still managed to be fully packed every other night with most of their spenders being the older men who would come in here in their numbers, looking to have some fun and Skyline made sure that they always provided them with the most fun which would always keep them coming back the following evening.Skyline club employed several girls to offer services to the men who spent extravagantly and no, sex was not enforced on the girls to offer to the men, that option was totally self voluntary but only a few men requested that of the girls, they wanted to spend, they wanted to be seen spending, they wanted to be envied and they wanted attention on them, Skyline gave them all of that

    Monday, the 9th of May.11:52pmSkyline club was still buzzing, with people trooping in and out, the men had dressed well and some even came wearing complete three piece suits, bodyguards and escorts flocking around them. They had dressed well and had come to spend well too. The ladies dressed to kill and her knew for a fact that most of them had nothing else on under the skimpy dresses they wore and yet they were still comfortable.He sat in a car parked only a few feet away from the club’s entrance, where he could watch whatever happened. He had come here for one reason and he would be getting it tonight, it was time to have some fun, both for himself and for the cops as well because it seemed that the detective was having a lot of time on her hands lately. He needed to keep her busy. Busy and driven.He watched the girls as they went in and came out, he had to find one that would be suitable because this tine he wanted to send a final messa

    Tuesday, the 10th of May.06:21amThe club was void of people as it usually was by this time of the day, well maybe except for those who had partied a little bit too hard and had ended up being too drunk to go home, probably forgotten by their friends and company and left in here to sleep off the drunk feeling and wake up the next day. It was standard for Skyline clubs to allow that and also to provide the customers with a drink to help with the hang over whenever they would eventually wake up, it was such care that built trust for Skyline in the customer and it was one of the simple things that kept them coming back here every night.A few of them sat at the bar, trying to recover themselves as they took the drink while most of the workers tidied up, most of them did not want to be here till seven o’clock so they hurriedly went on with their work, the customers would have to leave first before they do so they woke everyone of them up and offered the

    Tuesday, the 10th of May. 07:06am The silence in the car was normal as was usual whenever grand father was in the car, no body spoke unless spoken to, and even breathing had to be silent as well but today, now, the silence pained him, it made him unstable and uncomfortable and his chest constricted. He felt suffocated even though the air condition was on full blast. “Roll down the back windows.” He ordered and the driver did so without hesitation or question. Daniel looked at him through the review mirror, surprised that he would ask for the windows to be rolled down even with the air condition on. Grand father looked out the window, the cool Manhattan breeze whipped his face as the car went on sixty kilometers per hour on the free way. Still, he was not comfortable , he was restless and he knew why he was restless. “Stop the car here.” The driver slowly applied the brakes and eased off the road to the side, bringing the car to a

    Monday, the 16th of May.01:12 pmThe pain was minimal but he felt it, it was the first thing he felt when his eyes opened because it throbbed, and so did his head. It was a little too bright in here so he could only open his eyes slowly until they could adjust to the brightness. He took in a deep breath, enjoying the flow of air through his lungs but what he did not like was the smell that flowed with it, it smelled of drugs and medicine. He moved his arm and only then did he realize that somebody’s head was resting on it, he turned his head and the person lifted hers, he was surprised seeing her there beside him but he was also happy. He smiled.“Chester,” She said, standing up close beside him and holding on to his hand. “Are you alright? Feeling much better?”“Tia, you’re here?” He wanted to sit up but she held him down to the bed, he winced.“You’re hurt, stay, don’t move.&rdquo

    Saturday 14th of May02:02 pm.Chester did not look surprised at all by what Aiden had just revealed, although he had not known it before hand but he had made a guess, there were only two boys in the Hunt family; himself and Michael, so it was not that difficult to figure it out, but he story behind that, behind how Michael had come to live with them was a surprise no doubt, and he wondered if Michael already knew about it.Aiden got up and walked towards Daniel. “Well now that you all know the story and the reason I had to do this,” He turned directly to Tia who stood rooted to the ground in utter disbelief. He smiled. “You cannot leave this house alive, I’m afraid none of you will.”“Aiden,” Tia called him with a shaky voice. “My… my daughter Aiden… she’s only a child…”He waved a hand in the air to stop her. “I had no intentions to hurt her and I was not the o

    Saturday 14th of May12:52 pm.The tension in the room weighed down on all of them, most of all Chester, who was on the ground with his grand father in his arms, he was pained and he was angry, the surprise of seeing the detective Aiden come into the room in support of Daniel who had shot his grand father, had vanished from his eyes, in its place was anger. Raw, mad anger and he was struggling to contain it. His eyes never left the detective as both of them glared at each other. More than anything, Chester wanted to storm over to him and rip his heart out and then he would deal with Daniel later.“You both look surprised.” Aiden said with a chuckle, glancing over at Tia who stared at him like she wanted to put a bullet in the middle of his head. “I know it is a lot to take in.”“Why are you doing this Aiden? You are a police detective.” Tia said.“This is the only reason I had become a detective Tia,

    Saturday 14th of May12:12 pmThe ward was empty, the crumpled sheets suggested that she might have not been gone for so long but the fact was that she was not here and even the nurses did they know where she had gone to, and neither did they know when she had left the hospital. All her items were gone; the gun, her badge and her phone, Aiden was furious, how could a patient have left the hospital without anyone taking notice of it? But he did not bother to remain in the hospital after that, what was the use? She was not here.As he drove back to the station, he reasoned to dial her number, he needed to know where she must have gone to and what would have made her leave the hospital, she was still hurt and needed care and rest and it worried him. Maybe she had gone back to the station to talk with Chester to ask for her daughter’s whereabouts, she was a mother after all and if that was the reason she had left then it would make total sense, he understood t

    Saturday, the 14th of May.10:34 am.The whole thing had gone south and totally not as how they had envisioned it to turn out, they had gone there just to make an inquiry and an arrest and had ended up not making any inquiry, arresting Chester Hunt and a police woman down. In the whole frenzy that had ensured earlier with Tia ripping out the face mask, one of grand father’s body guards had fired a shot in defense of Chester and that had hit Tia in the shoulder, bringing her down.Aiden sighed and paced the hospital room Tia was in, the nurse had said that she was unconscious and might be for a while, this was not how it was meant to go, he brought out his phone and placed a call to the one person whom he would blame for all this.“Where are you?” He asked in annoyance as soon as the person picked up the call, he was pretty upset as to how every thing had gone down.“In the house, with grand father.”Aiden seethe

    Saturday, 14th of May 07:46 am. It was much too early for a face off and maybe a little bit too early to be angry but Chester could not care less, he was angry, he was upset, he was boiling, he was fuming and he could not keep calm. Not any more. Yesterday, Tia had been attacked and hurt when her daughter had gone missing and then it had been topped off by her partner who had called her to tell her that her daughter’s DNA sample had been found in the crime scene of the recent victim. Although he did not know what that meant, he knew it was pretty serious. He might not know who the killer was, but he had a suspect on who would have dared to kidnap Zara. The hotel had a twenty four seven hour service so he was sure that he would meet his grand father there whenever he went to his office in the hotel and right now, that was where he was headed to. He walked swiftly, his half hidden face contorted in a deep frown and every one was wise to stay clear off his path,

    Friday, the 13th of May 07:43am. He knew what time they would be leaving the house, he had studied them, taking his time to map out their schedules and time. He also knew what time the bus left the station there to get here and he had been right on time. He saw the bus pull up from the comfort of the car he was sitting in, and he watched it come to a stop with a low whistle, he watched the children get down and he waited until the bus started again, easing off the side and joining the traffic. He saw her, the little detective girl, skipping happily to school and accompanied by her friends, her mother did not come drop her off today, which meant that the girl would also be going home on her own as well. He smiled devilishly, every thing was just going way too smoothly for him and he could not be any happier. This would be all too easy for him to do and he knew that there was no way he would ever be caught. He looked on as the girl disappeared into the sc

    Friday, the 13th of May 04:06am. The CCTV footage had come to them even earlier than they had thought that it would and Tia could not be any happier, it was the CCTV footage from Wagner park, the particular footage showing the entrance of the park where they had seen the tire marks and the police men had said that they had seen Trisha come in from that direction. Tia’s heart was in her throat as she watched the footage, she was so jittery that she could not sit, so she stood behind Aiden, her eyes wide open and her eye brows furrowed in a slight frown, focusing intently on what played on the screen. A black car had pulled up by the entrance to the park and entered only to stop still close to the entrance, a man got down from the driver’s side of the car, his face shielded by the mask he wore. Tia frowned even deeper but kept on watching. He went around the car to the other side and opened the passengers’ side door and got in, they were unable to see or

    Friday, the 13thof May.12:22amNight time was always fun because it was as mysterious as it was thrilling, you just never could tell what night pop out of the corner but tonight, he knew what would be popping out of the corner; he was, bringing with him yet another victim, another body for the police to find, only that this time, she was still alive so he could not yet refer to her as a body. He chuckled as he drove quietly and slowly crawling the car along the road. He needed to do this as quietly as he possibly could, he had enough time on his hands to do this and he knew.The girl was tied up in the back seat and she did not struggle, he glanced at her through the rear view mirror and he could smell the fear in her eyes; he loved that, he looked ahead and continued driving. He had chosen Wagner park this time, it was closer to Skyline clubs than all the other parks were and so he had a good feeling about this one. He tried to imagine how the scen
