Emily frowned at the statement. "I don't...I don't really get you, Leo."Leo sighed and sat down in front of her. "There's something happening, Emily. Something wrong.""Tell me what you've noticed, then.""Before my dad died, he called me and gave me a warning. Just a warning, and then that same day I am sure someone wanted to scare us off. A car almost ran Alexa over if I hadn't gotten her off the road, and also I got your call saying my dad died?"Emily looked away trying to think of anything wrong. "So you're saying there's probably a new enemy?"Leo nodded. "Yeah. For starters, my dad was poisoned, who poisoned him?"Emily looked at him in thought. "We're actually thinking it's an enemy. One of his enemies."Leo nodded again. "OK, if it's one of his enemies, then I'm thinking that enemy could have a score to settle with his family which is me.""You're really thinking someone is after you guys?"Leo shook his head. "It's a gut, Emily. I mean, just yesterday, I got a call saying D

(21st. May. Saturday.)"Daddy," Aria called him again for the umpteenth time making him sigh as he couldn't focus on what he was reading.He looked down at her as she sat beside him with her head on his shoulder. "What is it this time?""How did you meet mom?"Leo's brows furrowed. "I thought I'd told you this before.""I like hearing it. I didn't know there was anything like contract marriage."Leo nodded. "Hmm.""Although I browsed it, and I saw that contracts are meant to expire. Is marriage contracts any different?"Leo blinked in thought. "Um, I think my and mommy's cases are different."Aria nodded. "OK, but what if it has an expiry date, does it mean you, and mom is not married?"Leo frowned, absorbed in thought at the statement. He has never thought about that. Never.He rubbed his hand on her back. "Stop thinking too much, princess. That's not something you should be thinking about."Aria looked at her dad. "Daddy?"Leo looked at her. "What is it?" He's got to say. She distur

(23rd. May. Monday.)"Everything is on set right?" Marco asked his fellow men, and they nodded."Although this isn't our type of job. We don't frame people, we just kill." One of them said, not liking what they were about to do.Mason looked at Marco. "He's right. Why are we going to great lengths? We don't normally waste time. We are always swift with our jobs, but this new one...""Seems there's a personal vendetta against the target." Marco completed.Mason nodded. "Yes. Do you know exactly what this is about? Since we killed that old man by poison, that was when I know we were going south. Who was that old man?"Marco shook his head. "Don't know. Boss won't give me direct information. All I know is there's something like paying and owing, trade by barter, something went on between the boss and the old man.""This place isn't our territory, so we really need to be careful. This guy we are after, we were already warned he's a force to be reckoned with via the voice record by our cli

Driving home, Leo was confused that there were police checkpoints. He wondered why, or what happened that caused it.He drove his car forward as he wait in line for his turn to be searched making him sigh as it was now a delay.His phone began ringing, it was his wife. He connected it to his earpiece and picked up the call. "Hello.""Hey, hon. Where are you?""I'm on my way. The kids are back, right?"Alexa nodded. "Yeah, they are. You told me you were busy.""I know. An impromptu meeting came up."Alexa smiled. "I understand, but you're meant to be back yet. It's been a while since you told me you're already heading home."Leo nodded and nosed his car forward again. "Yeah. I'm delayed by a police checkpoint.""Oh." Alexa gaped. "Okay. I'll be expecting you home sooner then. The kids are hungry and waiting for daddy."Leo chuckled. "Yeah. I love you.""I love you too."Leo smiled and hung up with a sigh. He gave his head a massage out of exasperation. He was now feeling relieved that

(24th. May. Tuesday.)Henry sat beside Damon in class and looked around to see if anyone was watching, or if the teacher was looking."Go to your seat, Henry."Henry shushed the guy who talk. "Chill, Don. Go to my seat, please."Don sighed and nodded. "Okay."Damon looked at his teacher writing on the board, and back at Henry. "What is it?" He whispered."If I talk, don't look at Joseph since he doesn't suspect anything. They're planning something big against you.""Something like what? Go straight to the point.""It's Sophia, D. They wanna use her against you.""Against me? How?""Who are those murmuring?" The teacher asked looking at the class, but they straightened up to avoid being suspected.Their teacher looked around, but couldn't find anyone disturbing the class, then she went back to writing on the board."Talk," Damon whispered."It turns out Sophia is gonna wanna talk to you, trap you somewhere, and scream telling people that you tried doing something to her."Damon raised

Two days later. (26th. May. Friday.)"Emily, any update?" Leo asked over the phone, leaning against his office chair."Not good update, actually, but we stand to believe someone was really behind it.""Talk to me.""The CCTV cameras didn't show anything strange, and thanks to a liable officer, we were able to detect an error in the time frame.""Error?"Emily nodded. "Time skipped in it. Like 10-20 minutes were missing.""Someone broke into the surveillance room in the company then." Leo figured."Not just that, Leo. Since the missing time was noticed, we decided to go back to what happened to your father, and it turns out there was time missing too.""Are there CCTVs in prison?""That's the thing, Leo. Someone broke into the penitentiary, poisoned your dad, and messed with the CCTV outside the penitentiary to avoid being caught in their getaway.""Wow.""You were right. This is serious."Leo nodded. "Yeah. You should, um, yeah, interrogate the securities in charge of watching the sur

Two days later. (29th. May. Monday.)Damien, Damon, and Aria ran down the stairs looking really happy, and excited. It made Alexa smile at their cheerfulness. "Wow. You guys look really happy to go to school today."Aria nodded. "There's something going on in school, and we need an update.""Something?" Alexa asked in curiosity."Yeah, mom. It involves..."Damon hit the back of her head causing her to shut up, and looked at him. "What's your deal?"Damon gave her an eye, she equally gave him an eye. Alexa just watched in confusion as she dished their breakfast.It reminded her of when Phoebe and Emily were talking behind her, or rather keeping a secret. It generally reminded her of Phoebe."Oh." Aria mouthed, and nodded.Alexa also nodded. "I'm guessing you now understand why I shouldn't be told."They all looked at their mom, their mouth gaping. "Um, mom. It's really nothing to bother yourself about." Damien told her and walked to sit at his side in the dining.Alexa sighed and just

30th. May. Tuesday.Damon, Damien, and Aria got to school the next day, and they couldn't help but sense there was something like a vibe in school. Students were talking to each other in the hallway. In fact, everyone."What's happening?" Damien wondered looking around at everyone's brooding faces."Something really did happen," Aria confirmed also looking at everyone gossiping with their sad faces on.She walked toward a girl, and the boys followed. "Hi, Charity. Did something happen?"Charity looked at Aria and nodded. "Yeah. We heard something big happened. Something very sad.""What's the sad thing?" Damon asked."It's Sam from our class. We heard he's dead.""Samuel Fitz?" Damien asked for clarification.Charity and her friend nodded. "The news came in early this morning from the teachers. He died of food poisoning." Charity's friend made known."Soon they're going to call us all out for an assembly once information has reached the principal." Charity made known.The siblings nod

"Dad, mom..." Damien looked at his mom, and dad as they sat on the dining chair."What is it?" Alexa asked him."There's something you guys should know." Damien continued and looked at his siblings. They nodded giving the go-ahead."It seems it's something bad." Leo noticed.They all nodded. "Someone died in school.""What?" Alexa asked with a frown, while Leo was taken aback by it.""A kid named Sam Fitzgerald. He died."Leo nodded. "Okay. What killed him? Accident?""Drug overdose." Damon blunted out.Leo and Alexa looked at him. "He took too much paracetamol or what?" Leo asked.Damon shook his head. "The illegal kind."Leo and Alexa looked at each other surprised by it."Methamphetamine?" Leo asked.They all shrugged."Who gave him that?" Alexa asked with a frown on her face."The cops are beginning their investigation tomorrow," Aria answered."Although he was caught using drugs before he died. It was found in his bags and he admitted it. We just don't know or get how he overdose

"This is just wrong, Philip. Watching a little kid as a suspect. Not fun."Philip looked at the frown on his partner's face. "Still this stakeout is necessary, Rita. We have to find the older kid behind the little kid. He might come to visit."Rita nodded. "Yeah, I guess. I still find the domino effect hard to believe. Kids taking meth? How are we even sure that Joseph kid didn't take it? Kids do lie.""That's why I'm thinking of doing a test on them. It's essential." Philip imparted.Rita looked at the door of the house of Alan Murray. "It's a good thing the parents weren't informed yet. We have to be sure if that kid was right, or wasn't just throwing his friend under the bus.""You don't believe him?" Philip asked.Rita looked at him. "Believe that a kid like Alan is capable of introducing and forcing his friends to take meth? That's absurd." She looked back at the door. "At least for now.""Who do you really suspect, then?"Rita looked back at him. "Left to me, it'll be the older
