She walks close to Harry and smiles.
“Harry, I thank you for service here, but you are no longer needed.” She says and I see her wipe a falling tear from her eye.
“What?” He asks.
“You’re fired, Harry. You’re fired.” She says as she begins to walk towards a staircase.
...........
“What do you mean I’m fried? What did I do wrong?” He follows her, as do the rest of us.
She climbs the spiral staircase to the next floor in style. Her body moves like a work of art and her demeanor is distant.
“Wait, Iris.” Jimmy tries to help his friend, Harry.
When we a
“They found it.” He says simply, but I’m just left confused.What did they find? And who?“You’re not making any sense.” I say to him, and the line goes silent.It takes a few seconds before he speaks. “They found the body, Quincy. They found Kate’s body.” ...............“No, that’s not possible.” I say to him. “We threw her in the water.”My hands are shaking, and I may drop the phone if I don’t relax.“Quincy, get over here.” Daniel says between his teeth. “They have witnesses.”
I finally see him, but he’s being taken away by the officers.The crowd clears and makes a path for them to pass.As soon as Daniel’s eyes lands on me, he says loudly, “There he is, officer! That’s the kid!” ............“That’s him?” One of them asks him.“Yes, I told you I wasn’t lying.” He says as they walk up to me.“Excuse me, are you Quincy Daniels?” A huge dark skin officer asks me.He looks very intimidating, and he’s staring right into my eyes.“Is there a problem here, officer?” My father makes himself known.
“So back to the question.” She reminds me.“Do you happen to know anyone that goes by the name of Kate?” She stares right into my eyes as the words leaves her mouth.“Yes.” I answer truthfully.Since I came in here, I have not told a lie. I have only withheld information.But I think the time has come for the lies..............“Do you know where she is now?” The lady asks me as she studies my reaction.“I heard she’s dead.” I say plainly.“And where did you get that information from?” She asks in a high
“Yeah.” I say loosely.“I was there, I was at the bridge the night of yesterday.” My words surprises her and she looks towards the rectangular glass.I hear the door of the room open, and I smile sadly, knowing that I’m going to jail for a hell of a long time.............Fully expecting officers to come into the room, a pale white man enters instead.“Beck, may I speak with you?” He asks her politely. He looks at me and smiles. I don’t know him, nor have I seen him before; but he’s looking at me like he knows me or something.“And who are you?” She asks as she stands from the chair.
“He goes down.” She adds.And that’s the thing. They don’t know Daniel Sims.If he goes down, it’s inevitable; then he would make it his life’s mission to take me down with him.............A few hours later, I’m in my office dressed in a formal business suit that makes me look regal.I didn’t have a lot of them, so I ordered for about a dozen using a credit card Iris assigned to me. “Why do you look so brooding?” Iris asks me as she sits across from me. Jimmy isn’t here, considering the fact that he’s always with Iris.“Nothing.” I mumble
Her eyes are dancing with desire, and so are mine.My heart is beating so fast, it feels like I’m running a marathon.Her hands snakes around my neck and pulls me closer to her, causing our mouths to meet slowly. ...........The softness of her lips are beyond ordinary description. Her quick breathing is mixed with mine, causing my emotions to go wild.Her hand that was around my neck now shifts to my hair and she pulls on it, causing a moan to escape my lips.Suddenly my phone rings and it stops the rhythm. We both break away from our embrace and her face looks as flushed as ever. Her lips are red and a bit swollen.Both of our chests are heaving up and down, due to our accelerated
The other one is on the other side of the car, watching Iris keenly.“There is, sadly.” He says as he lifts something from the back of his pants.And that’s when I see that it is a gun............“Wait, hold up!” I say loudly as I raise my hands in surrender.The guy points the gun at me and Iris reaches for her own weapon. She takes it out from the compartment and points it towards the other guy.“Mmhmm, put it down lady...or your CEO won’t make it back to the company.” The guy pointing the gun at me says.“What do you want?” I ask the guy and he chuckles.“
“When you think about it, it is all fake. Just like her little marriage is.” Iris holds her mouth with her hand as if she’s trying to shove the words back in.It’s very evident that she regrets saying the words the moment they left her lips.But they are already said, and my gaping mouth shows my response vividly..............“I knew it.” I say to myself. Davina wouldn’t just discard all that we were feeling and just go on and marry another person.This has to be the only explanation that makes sense.“Quincy...” Iris warns me. “Forget I said that, Davina will kill me if she found out that I told you.” She says, but I’m not really list
