Flashes of the past
Sheriff Morgan’s POV
I have been a detective for over twenty years, but I have never imagined Smith to be that kind of person.
“Smith Connor?” I asked to be sure of what I just discovered. Not just me everyone were stunned by this piece of information.
Vin’s POV
So Smith is the boss we have been looking for, this is quite unbelievable. “We don’t even have evidence,” I said anxiously.
“Sure, we do” said agent Tom. “Albert have prepared all the things needed.” “Why did he not convict him?” I asked
Kate’s POV
This is insane, Smith is more like a father to me. To the best of my knowledge he is one of the most important people in Albert’s life.
I cried for a long time, for some reasons I have always felt an eerie atmosphere back in the day at Smith’s bar. “Albert died for this, trying to protect you, what of me?” I kept asking

KATE The culprit
Kayla’s POV “Maybe Melissa have heard the news and decided to clear her head before coming back. We have to give her some time,” I said as a matter of fact. For me I have not gotten over the horror of the shoot out and the pool of blood I was immersed in. For what it’s worth we all need to rest tonight. Chris’ POV I woke up to find myself handcuffed to the bed. I saw the silhouette of two officers guarding the door to my room. “Chris, look what you have done to yourself. From a petty thief to a full blown criminal.” I thought to myself. Then I started reminiscing about the shoot out. I then discovered that Smith used me as a cover. The same thing he did with Max. “Psycho!” I cursed under my breath. At least the television was on. The news I heard shocked me. “Around 6:40pm this evening, the police identified the culprit for the murder of Albert Connor-Mckinney and Mary Adele White. The culprit is a middl
KATE Zainab?
Emma’s POV I didn’t know my parents had history with Smith. They were best of friends. “Was he always shady?” I asked. “No” was the response. My dad explained that they met in Winster High School and became friends. “What about Collete?” I asked. I could see the feeling of pain and helplessness weigh down on my dad. “She died years ago, 19 years ago to be precise.” “But I don’t understand why Smith will do that to Melissa’s son.” “There have always been disparity between them my dad explained. Melissa always feel like she was better than Smith. That became worst after Smith dropped out of college.” “Do you know why he dropped out of college?” I asked. My dad shrugged. Mrs Stewart’s POV “She used to be Albert’s girlfriend?” I asked about Kate. Emma nodded. “I know that Connor dropping out of school has something to do with Collete” I answered Emma’s question. Emma’s POV This is getting int
KATE Reunion
Mrs Stewart’s POV This Kate bears a striking resemblance to Kennedy. Well maybe my mind is playing games on me, I concluded with a sigh of resignation. Emma’s POV I was about to ask another question, then I saw Kate coming to the parlour. I kept my mouth shut. We quickly changed to another topic. “Hope you like the room?” I asked her. “It is great,” she answered. Kate’s POV “I like that painting hanging by the door way,” I complimented. “Thank you dear,” Mrs Stewart said coyly. I quickly swallowed my next question about the painting. I knew she doesn’t want to discuss about it. For a moment, I think I remembered Mr Stewart’s name: Charles. I felt a prompting to do that. I was battling in my mind whether to call him or not to call. What if I am wrong? I would look like a complete idiot. Finally I summoned the courage… “Uncle Charles?” I called doubting myself. Everybody in the dinning room turned towards
KATE Former friends
Kate’s POV Now I realized that these flashes in my memory were not déjà vu moments but my past. “Uncle, you don’t have to be. I was lost myself for years. I clearly forgot everything about my childhood, my parents or their friends. The only thing I remembered from my childhood is my name and that of my parents. Probably because the social worker kept emphasizing on their names: Kennedy Ahmed Omar and Collete Omar.” I came to the realization that since I met Stanley and Emma I have always let my guards down around them maybe this was the reason. Emma’s POV I know Stanley will be as shocked as we are when he hears that Kate is our childhood playmate Zainab. “What else do you remember?” I asked. “Nothing else,” she answered. “ I have always been having these flashes of memory in my dreams, but I have never considered it part of my memory. This is the only moment I have been dreaming about for some time,” she explained. Mr
KATE Abducted
Emma’s POV Smith is really a scary guy, I thought. He knew what he was doing, all of us were just pawns in his chessboard. He knew about Kate and all, yet he made use of her situation. Kate’s POV “Smith is beyond evil.” Now that I think of it, he met me when I was still a teenager. Having been through various foster homes, I was returned back to an orphanage when I was 14 years. Later, I finished high school and decided to leave the orphanage. Tanner was the first person I met that took pity on me. He took me in from there we started dating. He abused me several times, raped me countless times. Once, I wanted to commit suicide. He came back on time that day. He took me to the hospital. After my recovery he found work for me in Smith’s bar and lounge. Tanner introduced him as his friend. “How did you know Smith?” Emma asked. Emma’s POV My detective instincts were very much awakened. I wanted to kn
