Alex opened her eyes and stayed quiet, adjusting to the hospital room surroundings. She heard the voice of her aunt and sister right by outside the room, probably at the doorway, and then to her surprise, the familiar voice of Zach. He was assuring her sister that he’s going to get to the bottom of what had transpired a while ago.“Malcolm called you as told by Damon,” Zach explained to Ashley gently. “I think in a way he knows that you will get hysterical if it will be the hospital calling. That’s the reason I see why he asked.”“Because Alex knows and I guess, so does Damon that Malcolm will fabricate the story a little bit so me and Aunt Vicky wouldn’t worry too much,” Ashley answered bitingly. She let out a frustrating sigh. “She never wants us to fret about her. She’d rather be the one worrying over us.”Alex closed her eyes and admitted that her sister is definitely right. She had alwa

Alex made another run through the report she just typed inside her room, Monday the following week, reading carefully. Over the weekend, Alex kept herself in her room, doing two reports over the incident that she was involved in. One for the CIA, where all the details had been mentioned clearly and the one for the FBI, where some information were omitted, like the appearance of Saood. She only mentioned the description of the man involved as well as the two guards and the stadium guard that she was able to shoot before her gun was taken from her.She frowned when she realized upon reviewing that the two are a bit way off from each other. After carefully back reading the details, she finally decided to revise the entire report that she will be submitting to Montgomery.She slowly leaned back on her chair where she had propped a pillow to prevent any pain on her back and touched her lips gently. The mere thought of the man suddenly made her skin tingle and the hair behin

Zach pressed the enter button on his laptop hardly that afternoon and waited for the results to appear on his screen. Ever since he arrived at his office, the only time that he got out of the room is when he needed to use the toilet. He even had his lunch delivered.After his agents had submitted their report on the findings of what had happen to Alex, he had a suspicion that some of things had not add up especially when she also emailed her report.“Was there no footage?” He had asked tightly.“When we went to the room to retrieve the files, sir, it was already deleted and so are all the other cameras,” Gavin informed grimly. “But I’m going to the contractor of the software to check if they have a main server that has backups. Elise from IT mentioned that some providers do that.”“I need it immediately,” Zach barked.Zach looked at his screen after the search result has been displayed and he cu

Zach looked up from the file that he is reading that afternoon when Gavin knocked on his office door and entered with a perplexed look on his face.“Stefan Malkus is here and demands to see you, sir,” Gavin said calmly.“Where is he?”“I had him in one of the small meeting rooms,” Gavin answered as he stepped aside to let Zach went out of the office first and following behind him. “He asked specifically for you. I asked him how he knew your name, but he won’t tell me until you go and meet him.”Heading towards the meeting room that Gavin had put the man inside, he stopped just before going inside and look through the glass. He saw a man around his sixties, sporting a silver side-part haircut and van dyke mustache with wire-rimmed glasses. He still looks physically fit from where he is standing but the small tremor that Zach managed to catch tells something else.“Mr. Malkus, my name is Zac

Zach looked up when he heard knocking on his office door the following day. He saw Elise outside, and he nodded, gesturing for her to come in. He stood up and was about to pull the blinds closed when she shook her head at him subtly.“Mr. Montgomery, I know it’s too bold of me, but do you want to have some coffee at that shop at the other side of the block?” She stuttered slowly. She was clutching her Ipad tightly. “There’s this cousin of mine waiting and wants to ask you some questions for her thesis research.”He looked at her intently and finally saw that she had the screen of her Ipad faced towards him and he read the message silently.“Not safe to discuss here,” the message said.When he nodded, Elise immediately erased what she wrote and walked back to the door and opened it. “I made her promise that she won’t take too much of your time, sir,” she said casually as she stepped out. &ld
