"oh it's been stressful as you know" Ellie giggled."You were quite little back then" Gerald smiled."Hey, it's been five years" Ellie countered"Definitely not five days" Gerald kept his smiling face."Gerald!!" Aunt Kathy called"She's back" Ellie laughed as they both stepped out."Ellie?" Aunt Kathy gasped"Hi aunt" Ellie smiled."What are you doing here?" She asked as Gerald took her bag"Came to say hi""Thought you didn't need my help with your sister""I said I just came to say hi, I didn't realize it's been so long we last visited" Ellie walked up to her and took her hand."What's going on?" Kathy asked shocked"Nothing, I'd be gone in a few minutes, been around for two hours now, let me lead you up" Ellie offered and Kathy just stared at her not withdrawing her hand."Thanks" aunt Kathy smiled as they got to her room."But seriously Ellie..."Aunty, I ain't here to poison you" Ellie chuckled."How's Clara faring?" The woman asked"She's doing fine, not great, she's needs to b

The kids had gone to school and she kept pacing by the door. Her aunt would never stop her from strolling or visiting a friend but she felt nervous on how to obtain permission. She could just disappear and appear before her aunt returns from the mart, but she decided to tell her and seek her permission before leaving the house."Winter?" The woman stepped out in a flowing gown, she wasn't dressed to leave, maybe she won't be going to the Mart today, Winter thought."Winter!" She called again"Aunt Mary" Winter smiled"Goodmorning" she greeted."Why are you here?" Aunt Mary asked after nodding to her greeting"Uhh, aunt.. don't get pissed" she smiled holding the woman's hand, "I'd like to go out today" she said but her aunt had an indifferent expression on."Aunt?" She called when the woman said nothing."Were you rehearsing on how to tell me this?" Aunt Mary asked amused and Winter blinked cutely."A friend?" She asked"Nahh.. the bakery you met me at the other day, I love their cupca

Rushing out in her black jeans and a pink tank top, she flags down a cab taking her straight to the bakery she's dreamt of all night. Winter felt excited and nervous at the same time like one going for an interview. Maybe the thoughts about her reuniting with her sister made the drive shorter, she was surprised how fast they had gotten there. She paid and stepped out checking the time on her phone"11:58, I'm on time" she smiled to herself and walked in slowly as though she was counting her steps. Her eyes didn't wander but went straight to the counter, it wasn't who she was looking for.."11:59, a minute more" she sighed rubbing her hands together as she took a seat by the window again. She didn't order nothing but had her eyes glued to the door, she was growing impatient."Does she work on shifts? Ain't she coming today?" Winter's shoulders dropped as she looked down at her phone, contemplating on whether to walk up to the girl behind the counter and probably ask for Nina's contact.

Nina smiled"Didn't say so, I just asked miss McCarthy" Winter laughed holding her hands as they went up."You live alone?" Winter asked"Yeah" Nina nodded as they rode the elevator.Soon, they had gotten to her floor as doors whooshed open and they stepped out."You've got neighbors.. any hot guy?" Winter winked"You're little to worry about guys""Geez for the 100th time, I'm nineteen" Winter scoffed"Then get married" Nina smiled as she inputs her password and opens the door."This is it!!" Winter rushed in first"Yeah, she's still an artist" she smiled as she stared at her sister's painting"I'm living here" she turned to Nina"Living where?" Nina arched a brow."Here""No, after tonight you going back home to aunt Mary, you can call me whenever, and I'd come visiting okay?""We've been separated for years and you want us to continue like that?"

"Any news on Thomas and Carly yet" the reporters flocked around him, they'd been coming to station regularly"We're on it" Wheeler smiled "How exactly did you find out who they were?" Another asked and wheeler smiled"That's all I can say, if they're anywhere around the borders of Boston, we definitely comb the whole place till we find them" he nodded to himself and disappeared into the building."Sir?" Potter rushed to him"I think I'm gonna have a blissful day ahead" Wheeler smiled to himself as he walked straight to his table to sit."What now potter?""They got a lawyer""How's that my problem""Cicely Holmes" potter said, "Did u kill the man Potter?" He asked"Certainly not" Potter shook his head"Then let me be, we have our killer, goodluck to her on proving her innocence" Wheeler scoffed as the telephone on his table rang"What?"

"you got this right?" He asked staring out the window"As always, you should know" she smiled sipping from her drink."It might be a hard one. It actually seems like a hard one you know" she sighed but he didn't talk"You got this, right?" He clenched his fist this time"I wouldn't say....""CICELY!!" his voiced echoed and she flinched"Jeez, Tyler, I got this" she scoffed, "finally, you're interested in someone, her sister's coming out okay?" Cicely chuckled and Tyler smiled from the corner of his lips"That's what I love to hear" he said and finally turned to look at her"Oh no" she gasped, "I beheld your gaze" she faked a gag."You're a fool" he chuckled"A fool who's getting you the girl" she winked"When's the hearing?" He asked"I just applied for a notice of appearance and all, chill okay? Maybe a week or two" she rolled her eyes"I trust you to be ready" he said again and she got tired"If you were this serious with our friendship, we'd be parents by now" she teased with a smi

"A handwritten statement, seriously?" Cicely scoffed."At least there is a statement" jack joked"We can start from here right?" She asked not taking her eyes off the papers."You're the lawyer not me" jack shrugged as he placed a glass of orange juice in front of her."I thought you were gon' serve me beer or a full course meal" she teased him"Someone misses my culinary skills then" he winked and she laughed."You wish""Well, this is better than beer" he said and she nodded."I can say he made this statement up, I'm pretty sure the station has recording devices and he didn't use none, plus the girl in the elevator with Clara. We'd start off with that and I need to visit the apartment, this can't be all of it" she clicked her tongue."I'll come too" Jack smiled"Like I was going to go alone? Tsk" she rolled her eyes."Drink up" he smiled"Did you drug this?" She raised a brow funnily."Drug what?" He arched his brow too and they both laughed."How's Cindy?" She asked"In school as s

"Ellie, it's best if you stay back, we'd be right out" Cicely said to her as she tried fighting her way in."It sure is messed up" Jack sighed as they walked into Mr James Cavendish's apartment. They had two officers assigned by wheeler follow them."It doesn't seem like there's was struggle" jack muttered."He couldn't have been sleeping either" Cicely added."They gon' go with the fact whoever came in with him was an accomplice for Clara, all she had to do was open the door for Clara to make the kill" cicely sighed."Unless..." Jack grinned"Unless?""Unless we find her first " he smiled."They couldn't find her Jack" Cicely smiled, "but not you" she licked her lip, "you've got three days" she smiled and turned"You're joking right?" Jack scoffed"Two days?" Cicely asked"Fine, three days" jack rolled his eyes, " we should visit the security room" he said and left her standing as she chuckled and followed."You guys are done?" Ellie asked."Come with me" Cicely said to her."Thanks

"so what's new on that part" Winter asked"Well, they couldn't get a clearer picture of her face, I don't know how far jack has gone either" Ellie replied."Well, did they try the store across?" Winter asked."The store?""Well, if the CCTV couldn't get a clearer footage of her face...."The store would have" they completed simultaneously as Ellie."I know I'm smart ""Of course you are" Ellie smiled happy as she took out her phone and dialled Cicely's line immediately but there was no response. She tried again and it was the same."A little adventure?" Winter asked."I don't want to get into trouble with Nina, winter" "She doesn't have to know" winter groaned."It's boring staying at home" "You should have gotten a job" Ellie laughed."So the adventure it is" winter winked as Ellie grabbed her jacket. They rushed out immediately probably without thinking their plan through."There's surely a CCTV" Ellie smiled happily as she looked around."Wait! How are we supposed to get it. We'r

Standing before the mirror, she smiled at her reflection. She wasn't sure of the outcome but confusion or nervousness has never been her forte. It was the day of Clara's trial; the very first hearing. Giving one last smile to the beauty in the mirror, she picked her bag and the file for the case ready for the big day."Jack pick up" she groaned for the umpteenth time. She's been trying to reach him all morning."Wow jack nice going" she sighed shoving her phone into her bag. Stepping out of her apartment in her fine grey suit, she walks to her car and sits in."Let's go make daddy proud" she smiled with her eyes closed. It had been her routine whenever she had cases, she would sit in her car and remind herself, her dad would be watching from heaven probably. Taking one long breathe, she brought the engines to life and zoomed off towards the courthouse.Meanwhile, Ellie couldn't sleep a wink. She badly wants to believe in Cicely but she's so out of place with her optimistic spirit. She
