On his third marijuana cigarette by the time he gets back to the main headquarters, Hank's eyes are red and everyone just clears out of his path, not wanting to be the victim of a transfer of aggression which will not be nice at all.When it comes to Hank being angry and aggressive, it is explosive and a ton of people can get injured whether physically or emotionally at the same time with the venomous words or acts that he'll perform.This time, although his fists are clenched, he clenches the cigarette to his mouth and just takes the elevator alone to the top floor where Arielle is locked up.As soon as he arrives, his subordinates salute him. "Sir!.“He waves at them. "At ease. Where is she?""She's with Officer Bank in Room 3."Hank simply nods and turns around. He walks to the room, with a steel door labeled outside as interrogation room 3. He puts his hand on the doorknob and stops. He takes it away and enters the mirror room to first see what's going on inside.The junior office
Few minutes later, as Hank had said, a female officer comes in and removes the handcuffs from her wrist. She signals Arielle to follow her to where she will receive her clothing and other effects since she's to be released.Now, for the death of Tiara Callaghan, there is no one being punished, all three people who know about it are free, all walking around like every other innocent person, the guilt not bothering them or anything.Arielle steps out of the station and takes a deep breath. Ever since her escape attempt, she has not been able to take a good breath of air, even when Hank had come to take her away from the Metro station, she had been gagged to keep from screaming so whatever breath she took was very invalid and meant solely for survival so as not to suffocate under the filthy smelling rag stuffed in her mouth.Arielle sniffs something bad and frowns. She stops inhaling and uses two fingers to cover her nose. "What's that bad smell?" She asks, sniffing but the smell is ever
Ashton stops over at Ivy's workplace to pick her up. "Hey love." He pecks her on the cheeks as he opens the door for her to enter.He walks around as well and goes into his own driver's seat. "So, how was work today?""Damn. It's a lot to cover. I met Hank today." She admits as she pulls the seatbelt over herself."Really? The police chief?""Yes. Turned out he was Mike's lackey. With the help of Rachel, Mike's former secretary, I was able to dig up some stuff on him and used it against him. He has released her according to what I have heard from him. We should be seeing Arielle soon now that she's out. She never sits still." Ivy says, letting the cool breeze ruffle her hair."I see. I also have some news. Mum called about an hour ago.""Judith? What did she say?" She looks at him but he's driving and putting all his focus on the road. "She asked us to come over for dinner this evening.""What time?""She said seven pm." He glances at her and then back to the road again."Are we goin
After dinner, everyone leaves Ashton and Judith alone and goes to the lounge to have some air and maybe some discussion over things, like Raine has been desperate to see her and share some news that's been bothering her."So hey, I told you I had a ton of things to tell you right?"Ivy nods, listening closely. Raine is just as grown a woman as she is so why would she be coming to her to ask questions? She's a professor on top of all of it so what could she..."How do I get a man off my back?" She suddenly asks.Ivy is momentarily speechless since that's completely not what she had been expecting to hear. "How do you get a man off your back you say?"Raine nods and sidles closer so Hanson who's busy on his phone call won't hear a word. "I know I am old enough to have a man, infact get married but I don't want this man and he's been bothering me."Ivy chuckles. "That's actually kind of cute. Who is he and what don't you like about him?"Raine leans back and sighs. "He just makes me unco
Richard hears a knock on his door the same night. He jumps, startled. He's basically in hiding, in exile so no one knows if he's at home or not or whatever but there, the knock sounds at the door once again.Being freshly released and for some reason, an increased fear of Grant washes into his mind makes him extra cautious about who he lets into his house, even now that he has finally gotten round to repairing his door knob, changing it into an automated one that cannot be broken into easily.He drops the wash cloth in his hand and picks up a knife before cautiously going to the door. "Who's there?"He hears a muffled voice and tries to peep outside but he still can't see who's at the door. He takes a deep breath and positions the knife so it can respond easily if he's suddenly attacked. He turns the lock and opens the door and he sees who's there. The door beeps loudly signifying the opening of the door.His hand drops to his side and he simply turns and walks inside, shaken. "You
Ivy rubs her back against Ashton's chest as he washes her front side, then vice versa.They switch places, their bodies touching all the while and this time, Ivy does the washing.After about ten minutes of intense kissing and washing and soaking in the tub, Ashton picks her up and they both head into the shower.The water is as perfectly warm as it can ever get and it only stimulates them further. Under the shower, Ashton and Ivy dance a couple's dance, their eyes closed in peace and the ecstacy of being together. After sharing a ton of intimate moments, both of them head to bed, exhausted and more in love than they have ever been.Ivy scoots into Ashton's warm hands and nestles there like a chick in her mother's feathers. She smiles contentedly, her eyes closed.Ashton catches the small smile. "What's making you smile so much?"She chuckles. "It's a lot. There's a lot to be grateful for actually. I mean, I've been attacked, kidnapped, being victim to a ton of things and yet, I have
The next morning, in the lobby of Ray Corporation, the back view of a woman is in sight as she pushes aside the glass rolling doors. She looks around and smiles to herself, though the purpose of the smile remains unknown.She walks to the reception. "Hi, I want to see Ivy Wright."The lady at the table looks up at her. "Good morning ma'am. You want to see the current CEO?""Yes. I want to. Is there a problem with that?" She asks, raising her palms and flattening them."No ma'am, not at all. Do you have an appointment with her? Or is she at least aware that you're coming to see her?"Arielle chuckles. "I don't need any introduction. I am her best friend. She might even fire you if she finds out that you're keeping me standing like this for no apparent reason." She leans in the counter and reduces her voice so only both women can hear. "I'm certain you don't want to lose your job, or do you?"The naive lady shakes her head negatively. "Alright ma'am. Give me a minute to place a call to
Even hours later, after Arielle's departure, Ivy still can't wrap her head around the fact that that Yale, the lady she had met about two times had been the one to kill Tiara.Now, she knows, but now does she go about proving it?She stands up from her chair and wanders to the long glass window which she stares out through while sipping on a glass of juice, smoothies or shakes. She's too lost in thoughts to have time to order for one so she just looks outside.Even though she's far from the lowest floor, she still is able to make out some shapes and happenings down there like cars coming to a halt or someone running.Bored, she raises her head and her line of sight goes right to a large billboard not very far away from the office, it has an advert on it with students walking around and reading and having fun.Seeing this, something that she is forgetting is tugging on her brain, urging her to remember. She focuses intently on the billboard and at a little point forward, they show lect
