AUTHOR POV ????????
The prison Warder c@m£ to a cell filled with six male inmates.
“Who is Dane Kelly?” He asked
The man named Dane Kelly looked at the warder but he didn’t respond. It being long since someone called him by that name.
“Dane Kelly” was his biological name before he changed it after joining MML gang.
“Hey man..aren’t you Dane Kelly?”
An inmate pointed at him
“Okay..Who Is speedy?” The warder asked again then he c@m£ down from his bunk and went to the steel cell gate.
“What is it?” He asked the Warder
“Someone is here to see you”
Speedy laughed
“You’re joking right?”
An inmate said to the warder
The warder nodded
“He’s got no family”
An inmate commented
“Yes cause I’m a prodigal son but I never returned home”
Speedy said and they all laughed.
The warder unlocked the cell
“Hey speedy maybe the old man is re-ady to get you out of here”
Another inmate said to him
The warder placed am handcuff on his wrist
“It better be him cause I’ve waited for too long. And I’m running out of patience”
He said to them
“And you can as well tell him to drop some cash before leaving”
The same inmate said to him before the warder took speedy away.
He saw Frederick Robert when he got to the waiting section, he c@m£ with a b©dyguard.
Speedy settled in the chair facing him directly.
“You’ve finally come to take me out yif this hell”
Speedy said with a bright smile
“Look speedy I’m still working on it” Frederick replied
And speedy smile disappeared almost immediately.
He placed his locked hands in the table and leaned forward.
“Six years Robert and you’re still working on getting me out of this place” he gritted
“It not easy Speedy” He said
Then speedy realized Frederick hasn’t been working on getting him out of the prison.
He should have believed what his mind had been telling him..for six years now.
The moment the judge s£ntenced him to Life Imprisonment and also when they rejected his appeal in court. He should have accepted his fate that day. But instead he had threatened to expo-se Fredrick’s de-ep secrets.
Frederick had as-sured speedy that he would get him out of prison even if it meant for him to frame his death and fly him out of his country..but none of that happened. It was easier said than done.
Six years in prison and Frederick was still yet to frame his death and fly him out of the country. The old fool didn’t even come to check him since four years now. He has only been s£nding money anytime speedy calls from prison.
Frederick should have gotten rid of him a long time ago cause he was the only one alive among the MML gang who knew Fredrick’s secret but he didn’t want to get his hands stained again. He gave up killing people after he killed his step brother and his family.
And he was still thankful that he had spared Speedy life because he was the one that can tell him the truth about Ria.
“You’ve been s£ntenced” Frederick blurted
He saw no reason to lie to speedy.
Speedy nodded slowly. He tried to control his fury as he wished he could kill Frederick that moment and just end everything.
“So why are you here?”
He asked
Frederick leaned in closely
“I want you to tell me the truth about what happened six year ago” he whispered
“From what I remember – you ordered us to kill your brother and his family”
Speedy said loudly
“Keep your voice down”
Frederick muttered and showed Speedy the bundle of dollars in his suit pocket.
He knew that was the only language speedy un-derstands.
And Frederick was re-ady to give him note as long as speedy was re-ady to tell the truth.
“I will give you this money if you answer my questions truthfully”
“And you want me to believe you?” Speedy flashed him a wicked grin.
Frederick re-moved the money and pas-sed it un-der the table. Speedy looked around before feeling the notes.
“If you want the truth then slid the money into my boot”
Frederick gestured to his b©dyguard to fix the money in his boot And he did it.
Speedy stamps his feet on the floor.
“Good.. now what truth do you want Robert?”
He didn’t ask about his brother or the wife…he knew they were long dead because he was the that arranged for their burials.
“That blind child -”
“What child?”
“My step brother’s child?”
Speedy c0cked his brows
“You mean Ria?”
“Yes..tell me did Lucas get rid of the girl that night?”
Speedy shifted uncomfortably in his chair and remained silent.
He swore to Lucas he’d never tell Frederick that he didn’t kill Ria that night.
And he wasn’t going to betray Lucas even If he was dead.
“Yes Frederick. Though he didn’t kill her at their home cause we heard the sirens. We took her with us and Lucas had fun with her in the car. She died in his
hands cause Lucas went too de-ep with her..then he threw her b©dy off a cliff”
He repeated the same words Lucas told Frederick.
And he knew Speedy wasn’t telling him truth.
“Why are you asking about Ria?”
Speedy asked and hoped Frederick would buy his false story.
“Ria Robert in Chicago” he responded
Then Frederick collected a Brown envelope from his b©dyguard and pas-sed it to speedy.
“That’s impossible. Ria Robert is dead” he insisted
He knew Ria won’t survive after Lucas died. It either she had committed suicide after she heard the news of Lucas death or she had died in the fire when the police burnt down Lucas’s den.
No it can’t be that..cause they found no one in the den.
He took out the content in the envelope.
They were pictures of Ria.
It took him extra effort to keep his jaw from dropping.
Ria was alive!
The little blind girl was now a grown up.
A beautiful woman!
And the most surprising aspect was that she could see!
But Speedy wasn’t re-ady to admit to Frederick that the Lady could be the same blind girl he Knew six years ago.
“Did she resurrect from the dead?”
He asked Frederick
His question was beginning to annoy Frederick.
“This is not Ria Robert. The one I know was blind and she dead six years ago”
Frederick balled his fist un-der the table.
He thought of paying some officials in prison to torture Speedy until he tells the truth..but he decided against it. Doing that will expo-se his secret.
“She is the same Ria Robert”
He was 100% sure.
“Can she sew?” Speedy asked
“This Lady is now the latest Clothe designer in Chicago”
Speedy could ha-rd ly believe it!
He was aware that Ria liked sewing! And she had even amended some of the workers clothes In The den.
Lucas didn’t allow her at first because he was afraid that she’d try to kill herself with a nee-dle but Ria promised him that she won’t try to do it. Then he allowed her after the promise only when Andrea was around to watch her.
“The lady said it on Tv that she used to be blind before she had her eyes surgery done. And there’s no doubt that she is Ria Robert. So tell me did Lucas kill Ria 6years ago?”
He was silent
And his silence was killing Frederick.
But he was willing to be patient with Speedy.
“It could be the same Ria”
It was pointless telling Robert that Ria was dead. And he figured Robert won’t leave until he tells him the truth.
He said after a long pause.
“The truth is that.. Lucas didn’t kill Ria that year”
And Fredrick’s heart skipped beats.
“He liked her almost immediately and he wanted to take her right there until we heard the sirens. Lucas didn’t allow anymore to pu-ll the trigger at her. So we took her with us. Ria was in our den when you c@m£ that night”
“Why didn’t he kill her?”
“I just told you the reason Ria liked her. Lucas liked her”
“So what did he do to her In The Den”
Then Speedy explained everything to Frederick.
“Look at this -”
He showed Frederick his missing right index f!nger
“Lucas chopped it off when he found out I tried to f0rç£ myself on Ria. He was in love with her but he couldn’t confess it to her because of the type of man he was..stone hearted and stubborn. And Ria never gave herself to him willing..he f0rç£d himself on her every time..and tried to teach her how to bend to his will. Practically Ria was Lucas S-x machine or pet cause he went to her anytime he wanted to plea-sure himself”
He drew in a de-ep breathe
“I’m still amused that she survived and she’s doing fine now. To be honest Robert, she really suffered in Lucas’s hands”
“How Long did she stay in the den?”
“About 8 months – Along the line Lucas bec@m£ desperate to have a child with her. He never used protec-tion cause he felt safe since he was the one who took her vir-ginity”
“So did she get pregnant during those times?”
“Yes but she had a miscarriage..that was before I tried to f0rç£ myself on her ..about a month before”
“Did she know?”
Frederick asked
“Ria wasn’t aware that she was pregnant..no one knew about it until the day Lucas c@m£ to her to plea-sure himself..Ria refused him again and then He beat her up like he used to and punched the baby out. He didn’t realized it until her maid told him that Ria was bleeding. It was a bloody scene. It was the doctor that told him that she had a miscarriage. Lucas felt remorseful that day but that didn’t st©p him from going back to her. We went for an operation and someone blew our cover, And the cops killed Lucas and two others… that’s all I know,I don’t know how she made it out of Den”
Speedy completed
And they l@psed into silence for seconds.
He sat there staring at Ria’s pictures. And as he admired her! Feelings of guilt washed over him!
He recalled that day he tried to f0rç£ himself on Ria and what she went throu-gh the day he lied to Lucas that She tried to s£dûç£him so he could get her out of the den. He did that to defend himself. He never knew a trusted worker heard everything he did in Lucas’s room.
The worker was disturbe-d whenever she was asked to give food to Ria and Andrea. She confessed to Lucas when she couldn’t bear it alone.
“Can I keep one of these pictures?” He asked Frederick
“Why?”
He snatched the pictures from Speedy and gave it back to his b©dyguard.
“I think I nee-d to ask for her forgiveness. And I’d be glad to meet her if I wasn’t in jail”
“Don’t even think about it..with what you did to her. You think Ria will ever want to see you?”
“I know she won’t want to see me but.. what about you?. Robert think of what Ria would do to you if she finds you. Ria was aware that you s£nt us. So Robert prepare yourself, you’ll be joining me in here… soon. Because I know Ria won’t sit back and watch you. She will get revenge on You for killing her parents”
“That won’t happen speedy”
He replied confidently
He was sure of himself.
Everything Speedy told him was enough to bring Ria down even before she thinks of getting back at him.
Being a S-x machine to an ardent criminal is enough to bring her down. He will act on It and reveal her secret to the world.
She would feel humiliated and too weak to get back at him and she would end up giving up the fight.
But before that Frederick decide that he has to destroy her relationsh!pwith the Bryant.
If they find out what he did they would help her bring him down now matter what.
They have the strong connections to dig up the truth which he had buried.
He did a good job at covering up his crimes.
“Ask for her forgiveness and turn yourself In To the police. And don’t try to destroy or get rid of her again cause She went throu-gh hell six years ago. She deserve everything she has now”
He said to Frederick finally
“Thanks for the advice”
Frederick said with a croaked smile
He stood up
It high time to silence speedy.
The warder took him away.
“Get rid of him”
He said to his b©dyguard when they got to his car.
“Okay Sir”
Frederick knew speedy would be that thankful to him for helping him end his life quic-kly instead of serving life imprisonment.
Speedy would be out of the picture soon. Then He would have only Ria to deal with.
BACK IN THE CELL
The warder unlocked the handcuff and speedy walked Into the cell.
“Hey man was it that old man?”
An inmate asked
“Yes and that old fool has been lying to me all this time”
“Rich people are bastards!”
An inmate snorted
“He’s coming to join us very soon”
Speedy said
“de-ep secrets right?”
An inmate asked
“Yes”
“I’ve always known that the rich are the real criminals”
The inmate replied
“Not all. And I’m sure this one – nemesis will catch up with him soon”
Speedy chuckled as he re-moved the dollars from his boot.
“Did he give you all of that?”
“Yes in change for truth”
“What truth?”
“You will find out in the news soon… soon Inmates”
He shared the money and gave it out to them
 
 
EPISODE •• FORTY ••TWO
THEME:COVERED UP AND CLEANED ????
RIA POV ????‍
Ethan led me to his car and he opened the car door for me to go in. Then I saw an old picture on the seat.
A picture of a boy and a girl.
I sat in the car still staring at the picture.
“When did we take this picture?” I asked Ethan
The girl in the picture was me. And I could recognize myself because right after i c@m£ back from China I saw the pictures Andrea and I saved up when she was alive.
The boy in the picture looked like Ethan.
We looked happy
“On your 15th birthday”
I sat in front of a cake with a birthday cap on. Ethan stood behind the chair with a bright smile on his face.
I remember vividly, that year Ethan brou-ght a cake very early that morning. My parents couldn’t afford to buy me cake cause there was not enough money. They only managed to give me gifts. Mom made a dress for me which I wore on that day while my dad bought me a new sandals.
Ethan didn’t mention it the day before that he was going to buy me a cake. He just showed up with one that morning.
I couldn’t see it because I was blind but I tasted it. Ethan was 19 years old then and he worked as a Janitor in a Bank and at night in g@s Station.
“You still remember?”
He asked and I nodded
“Ethan perhaps.. Do you still have my parents pictures with you? I don’t have any..and I haven’t gotten the chance to see their faces and how they looked since I had my surgery done”
I’d appreciate just one! A picture of us together.
“I do..actually I have a lot of them. And that was why I said we have a lot to talk about”
Happiness surged throu-gh me at Ethan words
Finally, I can see now..how my parents looked before they both died.
I smiled at him
Ethan started the car and it moved Into motion.
“Remember I was out of town when -”
“That incident happened”
I completed his statement
Ethan left town that year..just two days before the incident. He had always wanted to be a Model..that was why he worked on his b©dy at the local gym center in Idaho. He had ti-ght muscles, strong arms and well sculpted che-st..just like how he is now..but he wasn’t this big back then. I could tell cause I knew what he looked like with my active s-en-se of t©uçh. The way I used to recognized my parents.
Ethan didn’t get the chance to further his education in college. He was raised by his Grandma. His parents died in a car crash when he was 8,only him survived the crash.
His plans was to work and save up for his Tuition fees.
He didn’t have any idea how to become a model until Ethan c@m£ to our house one night and said that his dreams was going to come true soon. He explained that a man c@m£ to the g@s Station and and asked if he was a model? He told him no but that was his dream. The man liked the fact that Ethan was fit and well built-in. Then he gave Ethan his card and it happened that the man runs a modeling agency.
He couldn’t express how happy he was when he c@m£ to our home that night. And we were all happy that everything was working out for Ethan!
He met with the man and in the end Ethan had to leave town to pursue his dreams of becoming a model.
“My Grandma called and told me that your parents were sh0t and you were missing. I spoke with my boss and begged him to allow me come back to town. And Grandma couldn’t explain what happened until I watched the news. A witness who called the cops told the police that she saw the truck outside your home and she also heard gunsh0ts too. No one could tell what really happened but every in town suspected that it could be the notorious gang.. MML. I went to the station and spoke with the detective in charge of the case but he couldn’t say much too. But The man was determined to find you and the whoever killed your parents. I worked with him secretly to find evidences in your home and it was there I took out some pictures”
“So what did you find?”
Ethan was silent
“Nothing”
She said seconds later
“No evidence but I told Derrick what was on my mind”
“What?”
“The Inheritance. I explained to him and told him your dad’s plans to take over the inheritance his father left him. And the call he had received from the lawyer that he has the permission to posses the money. I suspected Mr Frederick..cause I remember your dad wasn’t able to get a job because of his connection with the companies in Idaho. Derrick reasoned with me and said Frederick knew about the death of your parents. He promised to tell his boss about his findings so they could summon Frederick as a suspect”
“So they summoned him?”
“No” he replied after a long momentary pause
“Derrick got fired at work. I begged him to work un-dercover that I would pay him but he said he didn’t want any more problems. And not only that..he said there was a strong f0rç£ behind the case..someone who was re-ady to do anything to cover up the case but he didn’t disclose the person to me. And I never saw Derrick after that day until two years ago when I travelled down to Idaho”
“Is that all?”
“No Ria. To my greatest surprise, Mr Frederick arranged your parents funeral. They were buried in The Robert cemetery. Then I knew Mr Frederick was somehow involved in the case. I had no doubt about it”
Ethan looked at me before focusing his attention on the road ahead.
“I searched Ria..I looked for you but didn’t find you. And few days after the funeral,the news had it that the cops found the b©dy of a sixteen years old girl in the woods. It wasn’t your b©dy but they confirmed it to be you. I have no idea how they managed to find another girl’s b©dy. An almost decaying b©dy…they staged it cause no one could recognize it..but I did. I never believed them cause I wondered how you made it to the woods alone and I was very familiar with your b©dy -”
He paused
And continued
“It was lame. Everything they said wasn’t true”
I wiped the tears that dropped down my left cheek
“What happened after that?”
“A week after that day – they apprehended two men who confessed that they killed your parents”
“No reasons?”
“The leader said your dad refused to pay back the money he borrowed from him”
I shook my head slowly
“That wasn’t true”
“Yes I know cause the Mr Nathan I know never borrowed any money. He was contented with the little he had”
“And the cops believed them?”
“Yes”
“But what about the witness that testified that she saw the truck,heard the gunsh0ts and called the police”
“Exactly Ria.. The woman said she saw five people in black outfits but later she confirmed it that it was those two men she saw that day. She claimed that she wasn’t really sure of the number…She Changed the story to prove that those two people killed your parents. And the leader confessed that he took you away when he heard the siren and they killed you in the woods and left your b©dy in the woods. They closed the case after the confession and no one knew what they did to those men”
Ethan st©pped
I sniffed
Frederick covered up his crimes neatly
“Do you know the witness?”
“Yes..she was your neighbor”
“Mrs Glory?”
“Yes”
She lived next to our house. She was a single mother of two kids. I wonder what Frederick had given her to make her change her words.
Probably he offered to pay her kids fees and provide their nee-ds.
“How did you find me?”
“I saw you on TV. I ha-rd ly believe it. I thought it was mere coincidence..like she was your look alike..but I bec@m£ convinced when you mentioned that you used to be a blind girl with a dream of becoming clothe designer. The Ria Robert I knew was blind and she had the same dream too. And also the new Ria looked like my Ria. The dimple,the smile and hair..those things was enough to prove that she’s the old Ria but in the grown up version. The lady I saw on TV looked exactly like Mrs Madison. It couldn’t be coincidence..so I decided to find out. So I went to your sto-re today and followed you to the institution and waited for you”
“Why didn’t you come to me?”
“Ria you were blind..you never saw my face and I wasn’t sure if you would believe me if I walked up to you and told you I was Ethan. And I was feeling guilty that I gave up on you easily.. I shouldn’t have given up on my search”
Ethan would never find me even if he didn’t give up on his search.
“Don’t feel guilty Ethan..you did your Best. And you couldn’t find me because I was locked up”
I was locked up by Lucas cause I never stepped out of that room until the day Andrea saved me out of that den
“Where?”
“I don’t know the location but I was in a den”
“Tell me what happened Ria”
I shook my head slowly
“You don’t want to know Ethan”
I blink back tears
He st©pped the car. And I looked around, we were In a street with few pas-sersby. It was getting dark.
I checked my watch – 6:45pm.
Ian will be worried about me
“I want to know what happened Six years ago. Ria what I’ve wanted was ex-posing Fredrick’s secrets because I know he was involved in your parents death. Tell me the truth Ria. If it was Frederick.. We can still make him pay.
” how? It been six years now”
“I will tell you how..after you tell me your side of the story”
I nodded
“Yes Ethan.. Frederick killed my parents” I said
“I knew it” his hands ti-ght£ñed around the steering
“And he s£nt the MML gang to us”
He looked at me
“The money make life gang”
“Yes..and the witness was right. I was awakened by my dad’s loud cry that midnight.. I made my way to sitting room and I s-en-sed five pres£nce. They didn’t come for money -” I paused
“Then what?”
“They asked my dad to sign some paper works which contained the transfer of inheritance to someone. Mom was sh0t at Dad’s refusal to sign those papers -” my voice trailed
Tears rolled down my cheeks
“The leader of the gang was Lucas..he told my dad to sign the papers to save me and along the line I figured Frederick s£nt them. I begged him to sign it and forget about the inheritance..though I had thought signing it would make them leave but I was wrong. Lucas sh0t my dad after he signed those papers. And I almost got sh0t too but Lucas didn’t pu-ll the trigger at me. We all heard the sirens and while they debated among themselves what they would do to me”
I st©pped
That was the last thing i heard before i felt a sharp pain on my head and I blacked out.
“I woke up in strange place..i didn’t feel at home and I couldn’t accept that my parents were dead. Ethan it was ha-rd and I wished Lucas just killed me”
“Where was that place?”
I sniffed and wiped my tears with my f!nger ti-ps
“MML Den..Lucas took me with him” I paused
I wasn’t sure if I should tell Ethan what Lucas did to me
“Lucas kept you in his den?”
“Yes…”
“That means he saved you and took care of you”
And I wished that was how it was…that Lucas saved and took proper care of me without tou-ching me.
Out gaze met but I looked away quic-kly.
I ru-bbe-d my palms together and tried to control my tears but it won’t st©p..it flowed again.
“Ria -”
Ethan placed his hand on mine
I withdrew from his t©uçh and wiped my face
“Tell me what happened in that den”
“Lucas saved me and took care of me” my answer was immediate, concluding that Ethan doesn’t have to know what Lucas did to me.
“that’s all” I said In a low tone
“No” he muttered
“Ria you’re hiding some -”
“I think I should head home now”
Ethan gr@bb£d my arm when I was about to open the car door
“Open up to me”
His voice was clear and his jaw ti-ght£ñed
My heartbeat ra-pidly
“There’s nothing to open Up about -”
I said shakily
“Nothing? And you want to leave…Ria look at me and tell me nothing happened in that den”
I shook my Head.
I couldn’t look at him.
“Perhaps did Lucas -”
I swallowed ha-rd and cut him off
“Lucas saved me and took care of me”
And this time I looked at Ethan.
His hand dropped from my arm
“Okay…Ria I guess the six years of separation made us like this”
“No Ethan I don’t want to talk about it”
“I want to know” he said sternly
Then I heard the sound! Ethan locked the doors!
“And you’re not leaving until you tell me about it”
Ethan was stubborn! And he hasn’t change!
Totally different from Ian!
Ian Won’t pressure me to tell him stuffs I don’t wanna share with him.
“Ethan open the Car now”
“No”
“I want to go home!”
I was becoming aggressive.. And I feared what I would do if Ethan he doesn’t open the car.
So I controlled my myself and calmed.
Ethan won’t hurt me. He is not Lucas.
I chanted in my head
“Ria -”
Ethan called in a soft voice
“plea-se let me go” I whispered
“I know you want to tell me about it but something is holding you back – free yourself and open up to me”
And there was no arguing with him. Ethan won’t let me go if I didn’t tell him about it. He hvgged me
“Lucas..Lucas c@m£ -”
I sobbe-d
“You can do it Ria..tell me”
“To me..and -”
I paused.. More tears dropping now.
Ethan held me ti-ghtly.
My b©dy trembled as I worked the courage to tell Ethan.
“He f0rç£ himself on me” I muttered
Ethan tensed up but he still held me ti-ghtly.
“Just that day?”
He asked and I sobbe-d
“No Ethan..I was with him for months and I bec@m£ Lucas S-x slave… He c@m£ to me every time he wanted to -”
“No..no Ria don’t call yourself a S-x slave”
He re-leased me and cu-mpped my face in his large hands
“Then what would call someone who was used by a bunch of criminals. A S-x machine or a S-x toy cause it wasn’t…. just Lucas”
And I can’t possibly change that fact about myself. Lucas used me to plea-sure himself..many times that i lost count. That even Lucas once called me his S-x machine and speedy said I was Lucas S-x pet the day he tried to f0rç£ himself on me too.
I want to tell Ian about my past too but i just can’t each time I remember being a S-x slave to Lucas..it tears my heart. And I feel that Ian will hate me.
That was why I said he deserved a better woman.
“You were not A S-x slave”
“Then what?”
Ethan was silent
“Lucas girlfriend?”
“I’m sorry”he said
Even a pr©st!tût£was better off than me! Because you don’t have to f0rç£ on a prostitute..they come willingly as long as you’re re-ady to pay for their services.
“I’m so sorry”
He hvgged him again
“I should be blamed..I shouldn’t have left town”
“No it wasn’t your fault Ethan..it would have happened even though you were in town”
“But -”
“It was Frederick not you”
I saw the tears ony his face when I c@m£ out of his embr@ce.
“Even though once when I was in Lucas’s den I prayed for you to find me. And I never got mad at you because you didn’t find me. You were good to me Ethan”
“I’m sorry”
“It okay”
I wiped his tears with my f!ngerti-ps and he did the same to mine.
I drew in a de-ep breathe after we calmed.
“Frederick must pay for his crimes”
“Yes Ethan but how? It being six years now”
“Justice not revenge”
“How?”
“Reinvestigation”
“Is that possible?”
“100%” he replied
“We just have to hire a pri-vate investigator here in Chicago to reinvestigate the case cause I don’t trust the cops on Idaho”
“But..the case has been filed and closed in Idaho”
“Yes..but we can still do it”
I nodded
“I met Frederick’s son weeks ago..Drake Robert”
“I know him..I didn’t st©p checking on Frederick’s profile”
“And isn’t there another way to get back at him?”
“What are you thinking?”
I sighed
“Oh Ethan.. I wanted to kill him..myself”
“What?! That will cause problem for you..taking law into your own hands. If you kill Frederick you will end up in jail”
Well i never thought of the consequences.
But if I end up in jail what will happen to my kids,RRC and Ian?
I may never get to see them again.
What was I thinking?
Probably because the thought of revenge was foremost in my mind and it didn’t allow me think straight.
“You’re successful Ria..and you can’t just let His death bring you down”
“Yeah you’re right”
“Don’t worry the reinvestigation will work out”
“But..Frederick is powerful in Idaho..and I don’t see myself winning against him”
“I will check if we can request for transfer of case from Idaho to Chicago. Ria I promise you…Frederick won’t get away this time”
I nodded
He grazed his knuckles on my cheek
“And I’m happy to see you again”
He smiled now
“I’m happy too Ethan”
I smiled back at him..a half smile though.
“You still have to tell me the rest of the story”
“It a long story Ethan”
“I want to hear it”
“It late”
“Or someone is waiting at home?”
Ian is waiting for me!
I nodded
“Yes..but at the sto-re”
“Who?”
“Ian Bryant”
He look away and nodded.
Ethan started the car and it glided Into motion.
“You can still tell me the story..make it brief. We’ll discuss the rest of it another day”
He said
Ethan hit the highway and I told him the rest of my story!
