Chapter 66: Help needed
Veronica
I hadn't been able to sleep after I woke up in the middle of the night to pee. I just couldn't get my head to shut down as thoughts of what Hunter told me, mingle with what my father told me about Kelly danced around in my head. I didn't understand why I was thinking of kelly, or maybe I did understand, but I didn't want to analyze it. Analyzing it would mean that I was envious of her place in my family's life and her strength.
Stop!
I was already analyzing it.
Hunter's words to me made me flinch as I recalled what he said to me, 'You don't have all the time in the world.'
He was right, I didn't have all the time in the world to resolve my issue. If what had happened to mother had been worse, I would have been forced to go back home and see them, stepping my foot in the town I swore never to return to. But, I could get strong, resolve my mind and go back to town because I wanted to, not because I didn't have any choice.

She stepped into the corridor, looking around when saw a nurse approaching her."I am a relative of the man in the room," she announced to the nurse. "Where is he?""He had to have an emergency surgery so we could save him." She answered."How is he doing now?" Diana's voice shook as she asked the question, dreading the answer but needing to have one.The nurse shook her head slightly, her face solemn as she answered, "It's not looking good, but we are doing our best."Diana exhaled, before whispering a prayer to the heavens that all should go well."So, he had a heart attack even though he was in a coma?"

Writer's povDuncan stood outside Adam's office, taking a deep breathe as he steeled his nerves for whatever Adam had to say to him. His head was still banging from all the fun he had at the casino the other night. If he had a choice, he would have told Adam to go to hell when he received the call at the crack of dawn, but he bridled his tongue and told him he would be there. Now he was there, ten minutes earlier than he should have. He raised his hand to knock after he had taken enough deep breaths only to pause when he heard Adam laughing. He definitely wouldn't have paused if hearing Adam laugh had been something he had witnessed or heard before. He wondered who was in the room with him that could make in laugh in that manner.Or what good news-which was definitely bad news for someone else-could make him happy enough.He looked back to check if the entrance to the corridor he came through was empty. He was alone.He then moved closer to the door and p

He sipped on his coffee, his disguise still on his face. He needed to find a way out of his debt before Chronos would decide that he wanted to collect his debt. Time was running out. The funny thing about his situation was that, it was Duncan that brought out the idea of him borrowing from Chronos. He squeezed his fist as he cursed himself for being so stupid. He tried to think of happy thoughts to dispel the thoughts of strangling his so called friend when an image of Dulce floated into his mind. In his mind's eye, he was staring at her ag

"I keep telling you he looks like alejandro in passionate heart."Janet watched Jared as his muscles flexed as he pushed the heavy machine against the grass."I won't say a hundred percent..." She trailed off as she watched him."I didn't say hundred percent, you fool. I just said he reminds me of him with those blazing guns of his....and those packs...."

Writer's povChadwick stood by the side watching his partner knock repeatedly on the door. He knew just from looking at the house that the owner was not available, but he didn't tell Aaron anything before he thought of him as a freak.Not that he wasn't already considered a freak at the precinct. He sighed."I don't think he's home." Aaron said as he turned to face Chadwick. Chadwick had to hold himself from responding with sarcasm. He had been told by many, not one, that people didn't like him because of the way he responded to people. He tried for a while at his old station to change that character flaw, but he just couldn't bridle his tongue. He sighed inwardly as he thought of how shallow his life was. He looked at Aaron who had gone to the other side of the house to look for whatever he was looking for.He knew without a doubt that girls loved Aaron. They all, even the men, saw him as a nice and cool guy. Everyone wanted to be seen with him and

Writer's povMark drove Diana, Dulce and Philip home. His head was filled with thoughts. The silence in the car was not helping him one bit, as he kept running what the doctor said through his mind. Was it possible? Would Adam do go that far? Even if he did, what was his goal? What was he trying to achieve? Was it even Adam? Did Simon have other enemies?He replayed the conversation he had with the doctor in his office."There's something I want to tell you, a suspicion I have that I want to share with you, not because of anything but because I am confused. Though it's clear that he died of a heart attack, I feel it was not a natural cause. I looked in on him before he went to sleep last night and he was totally fine. He wasn't breathing funny, he didn't tell me anything was up. I even asked if he had pains anywhere and he said he was so fine, if not for his jelly legs, he would have followed you all home. I have seen people on the brink of having a heart
When we met again Chapter 73: Promise
Writer's povMark had finished brushing his teeth, when Diana came Into the room. He couldn't see her from his position in front of the wash hand basin but he knew, just like he knew he back of his hands that she was taking off her clothes. He wiped his face on the towel and went of the toilet with nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips. He stood still, waiting for her to notice him but she didn't look up as she mechanically removed her clothes. He studied her, his eyes finally seeing her that day, and he realized that she must have been in a such a hurry to rush down to the hospital because she had dressed in sweatpants and a long grey blouse.He had been so into it that he hadn't seen that his wife wasn't looking like his wife till that time. He felt shame heat his face."Cherry is asleep, told her that you would check in on her before you slept, and I gave Dulce and Philip everything they might need to feel comfortable. Dulce is smaller than

Veronica"What the hell was that for?" Hunter yelled while pressing me harder against his front. He had one arm around my neck and the other around my waist. I knew he was scared or had been scared, but I couldn't even explain if I wanted to. That moment when I saw that car, it was like I had a million eyes watching me. I felt fear and dread roll all over my body and it was all coming from that car. Hunter wouldn't understand me, because I never told him that I sometimes felt like I was being followed and watched. It was something I should have shared but I didn't. I feared he would say I was being paranoid and if he said that to me, I wouldn't be able to confide in him again."Why would you charge at the car like that?" He asked, his breath hot against the skin of my ear."I don't know what happened, something just came over me." I explained and he released me. I stared at the dust the speeding car had managed to unsettle."
