She glanced back at the screen to see Cameron yelling at the door. With his shirt unbuttoned to the end and his pants sagging at the waist, he looked a total mess.“I cannot just leave him out there" she said to herself.Cassie ran a hand through her hair and punched in her passcode to unlock the door.Standing face to face with her, he stopped yelling and took a few steps towards her.The air was suddenly enveloped with the stench of alcohol which sent her reeling backwards.“My goodness, Cameron! How much did you actually have to drink?” Pulling him by the hand, she dragged him into the apartment.He staggered inside and crashed to the floor on her walkway, mumbling a load of rubbish while she stood staring at him.After a quick search, she couldn't find anything on him. No phones, no wallet, no car keys, nothing.“Did you walk here or something? What is wrong with you!?” Her voice grew louder with irritation.Cameron raised his head from the floor, a lopsided grin on his face.“W

(PRESENT DAY)“What do you mean by an extended vacation, girl? We have offers, contracts and possible collaborations lined up for the next 2 years at least!” Cassie winced at the irritation oozing from her manager's voice. Bringing up this conversation in the van, while on their way to a public event swimming with paparazzi was definitely not a good idea.“Are you going to at least give me a good reason why you want to do this right now? I mean, you can take an extended break by the end of next year if we plan properly” Jim continued.She sighed. By the end of next year, she should have gone through nine months of a very public pregnancy and her baby will have to be explained to the public and to her management!“I am sorry for bringing this up without warning you ahead, but something came up” she said, turning away to stare out of the tinted windows.The flashes of cameras were already visible in the distance. This conversation had to end if she wanted to get out of the car with a p

Zander took a sip of his warm coffee to calm his nerves.If this news wasn't coming directly from Stone himself, he would have really considered it an expensive joke.Stone leaned back in his seat and scratched his beard.“I know this isn't what you were expecting….”“Damn right, it isn't.” Zander cut in. His mind was going at several miles per second. “What am I supposed to tell Cassie? This was a done deal!” Stone winced and swiftly took off his face cap. He was obviously uncomfortable with the situation and Zander was convinced that he must have tried his best to prevent things from going wrong.“Frank Jobs is a dangerous man, Stone” he began but Stone’s deep voice interrupted him sharply.“And you think I don't know that? It was my responsibility to keep that psycho off the streets and I failed. This is why I hate working with the government” Zander sighed. Stone had joined the police force based on his advice and now it had come back to bite him in the ass.He leaned forward o

Cassie stood like a statue in her living room, barely listening to the bustling of officers moving from one point to another.Detective Stone stood like a general in command gesturing in different directions as they set up all kinds of equipment in her house.A gentle tap on her shoulder forced her out of her thoughts and she jumped in surprise.“Heyy" Zander whispered.“It's just me. How are you holding up?" he asked, his kind eyes peering into her face.She barely had it together. All it would take to crush her right now was a any bad news about her sister. But she plastered a weak smile on her face and turned to him.“I am good"His brows twisted for a second and the doubt crossed his eyes but he pursed his lips. She glanced around at her living room. Stone and his men had converted it into a control room of some sorts with monitors and strange devices she couldn't recognize.Zander moved away from her and drew closer to the detective but she followed closely behind him, her ears

“He called again?” Zander asked, the disappointment clearly written all over his face.Cassie nodded, lowering her eyes. He ran a hand through his hair, barely concealing his frustration.“I am not surprised. I expected another call and that is why I left some of my men behind to keep an eyes on things….” Stone murmured.As he said the last part, he turned slowly to glare at the officers who quickly lowered their heads in shame.“Why did I leave you behind if you had to miss such an important update?” He scolded them.Cassie sighed. “It isn't their fault. They didn't know that I had a phone with me in the room and no one could have known when I woke up and took the call….”They had only found out that she was awake a few minutes ago, when the detective and Zander had returned. She caught an officer trying to stifle a yawn.They must have been awake all night.“What did he want? Did he make any demands?” Zander asked, breaking the awkward silence.Cassie’s head snapped up and her conv
