Save Him 126|Timeline-Part 1
When Levi came to pick Natalie up from Crush after his meeting with the security team wrapped up earlier than he'd anticipated, her plan to piece together Colleen's timeline before she vanished was still that—a very vague plan.She didn't want him to panic or raise his hopes until she had solid proof or a promising clue, at the very least. So when he asked about her afternoon, Natalie was evasive."How did your meeting go?" she asked as she followed him out of the club to the waiting car at the entrance."Not as well as I'd hoped. We don't have any new leads, but at least we know now Colleen's not locked up overseas." Levi opened the door for her and gently pushed her inside.They were on the move as soon as he slipped in beside her. Zachary and Carlos made small talk with her for the ten-minute ride to Green Point.Levi invited the two men in for a nightcap, but they declined. They were eager to get home and get some shut-eye."Are they married? Do they have kids?" Natalie asked as t

Still not sure what she was looking for this time, a disappointed Natalie scanned through Colleen's Instagram again. She and Emily had spent most of their afternoon scouring the socialite's page for clues, but nothing in the missing woman's posts before her disappearance had given them any hints as to her fate.After a few minutes of mindless browsing, she scrolled through her phone and sent Seth a text, asking for a copy of the file he and Mark had shown her earlier.Natalie couldn't believe her eyes when her email chimed with the attachment. She'd expected the PI to give her a hard time or at least refer her to Levi."Okay, let's see this," she murmured as she accessed the file and opened up a PowerPoint presentation to plot out Colleen's timeline.For two hours, Natalie lost herself in Seth's detailed notes on the case and the report from the doctor in Smiths Town. By the time she pushed her laptop away, she was still no closer to the truth, but she had a starting point.October 28

After his fight with Natalie, Levi wasn't in the mood to keep working. In fact, he wanted to storm back into her room and demand they talk things through. But, duty called. The server wouldn't bring itself back online.So he drifted back to the kitchen, grabbed a few slices of pizza and an ice-cold beer from the fridge and logged back in.He spent the next two hours barking instructions at the dev team to get the server up and running again. The longer they were offline, the more money he lost. And if there was anything he hated more than fighting with Natalie or not knowing where his twin was, it was losing money.He was still on the phone, lost in the abyss of troubleshooting and patch deployment when a vacant-eyed Natalie strolled past him in the living room in that same eerie way she'd done the night before.Tonight, though, Levi was prepared for her. He cut the video call, sprung to his feet and dashed after her, stopping her before she could slip out of the front door.Careful n

When they arrived at Rock Union's racetrack just after 9:00 AM, the marketing team and filming crew were already hard at work, setting up the place for the shoot.Angela led them to one of the VIP rooms they'd booked for the Andersons."There he is!" Liam exploded with excitement as soon as he saw them, pulling Levi in a bear hug."Damn, did you miss me that much?" He chuckled as they shook hands and hugged again. Turning to Liam's wife, he smiled. "It's always good to see you again, Eden!""Likewise, Levi," she returned his smile and hugged Natalie as she introduced herself. "I'm Eden, Liam's wife and mom to those two rascals over there."She pointed to the far end of the room, where Liam's mini-me was having the time of his life taking care of his little sister still strapped in her car seat.Shaking her head at her son's antics, Eden carried on, "that's Aiden, he's turning three in a couple of months, and that's baby Riley; she's almost six months old.""You have a beautiful family

Natalie snuck out of bed really early on Monday morning, and by the time the sun peaked on the horizon and Green Point stirred to life, she was already in an Uber, halfway across town and on her way to work.Levi called just as she swiped her access card and entered the building."Where are you?" he asked as soon as she answered his call, his confusion dripping through his voice."At Chassis.""How did you get there? And when?""I took an Uber, and I've just arrived," she replied."Why didn't you wait for me? You knew I'm coming in today."Yes, she knew he was returning to work today; he'd told her last night when he came to bed. But she had too many reasons for sneaking out on him, and it would take her the whole day to go through them all, so she settled for the easy one. "I have a tight deadline. Finance is expecting their month-end report by midday.""I see," Levi said. But his tone told her he didn't see at all. "We'll talk about this when I see you."Before Natalie could tell hi

"I'm glad you're on the case," Mark said as he led her back downstairs."Why?""Fresh set of eyes. You'll bring new thinking and a different perspective. Levi and I have been doing this for so long we're kind of in a rut now. You might pick up something we've missed.""You might want to follow up on a party Colleen attended last August," Natalie said and filled him in on her discovery. "I think you guys have been trying to find out what happened to her after October 28th. But maybe you should retrace her movements before that day. Something happened before October 28th, and I'm guessing her disappearance is linked to that party in Glen Eagles.""Did you tell Levi about this?"Natalie nodded. "He wasn't too happy with me. Sometimes I don't think he wants me to help.""He's worried for your safety," Mark said as he grabbed her purse and ushered her out of the door. "It might seem like he's paranoid and unreasonable at times, but Levi has his reasons for not wanting to involve too many p

While Natalie waited for Emily to bring the car around after their 5:00 PM shift, she checked her emails and was super relieved to see that Amber had finally sent the quote for the transplant.Like she'd expected, the estimate had way too many zeros she would never have been able to afford on her own, and she felt awful for saddling Levi with such a hefty bill. Yes, he wanted her client list, but she still felt it wasn't a fair trade, considering all the money he had to shell out just to meet her terms of the contract.Sighing, she forwarded him the cost estimate, and within seconds her phone pinged with a text back from him.'Should I transfer it to Jamie's fund or your bank account?'Natalie read and reread the text a couple of times, trying to make sense of his question.R400K was a ton of money.Was he just going to pay it all right now?In one go?She bit her bottom lip and tried to decide which would be easier to manage, her own account or the fund?Her decision would have to wa

Natalie was about to text Levi to let him know she'd arrived safely at The Castle when the double doors yawned open, and Samuel came out. He beckoned her inside, and she reluctantly left her seat, dread crawling up her tummy all the way to her throat.As soon as she walked into the spacious office, the head of security left them alone, closing the door behind them.The man, in all his imposing presence, sat behind a mahogany desk. When he looked up, it was like being transported thirty or forty years into the future and seeing an older Levi.He had the same smoky eyes, thick eyebrows, wavy black hair smattered with hints of grey and chiselled features that God had certainly taken his time to carve because his face was a perfect example of the golden ratio.Unlike his son, though, there was a coldness in his eyes and meanness in the way his lips curved into a sneer as he threw her an icy glance, his gaze slowly gliding up and down her dark department store pantsuit."Ms Taylor."
