100. Stay away from my son
Raina parked her car in the driveway, her hands still gripping the steering wheel. The engine ticked quietly as it cooled The sound matched the pulse pounding in her ears Her mind was still racing back to the man on the call earlier From the blackmailer His voice, the way he talked like he knew her too well To everything falling apart too fast She swallowed hard In all of this there was only one thing that mattered, her son Raina stepped out of the car slowly The evening air was cool She needed to check on her son, her chest tightened She had been so busy with work the past few days that she hadn’t called She slammed the car door harder than she meant to “Get it together, Raina” she muttered the phrase that always kept her away from making irrational decision Her heels clicked against the concrete as entered into her apartment The living room was a mess from last night, stale coffee smell filled the room On the floor was the pieces of the glass cup she had crash

102. Tara, don’t die now
Raina stretched out her hands to take the small flash drive from Leon’s hand It was small and light However, it felt heavy in her palm This could be the answer she needed, an evidence that will prove that she wasn’t insane Something that will shut Kendra up forever Something that will make the money that Kendra had useless Rain looked at the flash drive “Why should I trust you?” “It’s okay if you don’t want to trust me” Leon scoffed “You should atleast play it, if it’s a bomb-we both die here” Leon laughed calmly To Raina there was nothing funny in what he had just said Raina hesitated looking at Leon then she pressed play Kendra’s voice sounded “…I made more money than you’ll ever make in a lifetime. Demand increased. Supply had to match. So we needed a clean way to move shipments across the city…” Raina’s jaw tightened Then another weak and afraid voice spoke “My… my company trucks…” It was Tara’s voice Raina froze, just right there she had gott
103. Another hospital
Leon didn’t wait for a second He gripped Tara’s hand tighter“Her oxygen is dropping fast!” a noice voice cut through the room “Keep talking to her!” The doctor raised his voice Leon didn’t respond, he was feed up It was the hospital negligence in the first place that had made Tega to slip into Tara’s room and alter her medication Leon was already scanning the monitors, reading her vitals like a code Her breathing was shallow and her pupils rolled every second counted A nurse hovered, panic in her eyes. “We need to intubate, now!” “No!” Leon barked. “She’s too weak. Not yet” Tara’s fingers twitched, her hand weakly trying to pull back Leon held it. “Tara… stay with me. Look at me. Focus.” Another convulsion, machines screamed The flatline beeped “Kendra… this is on you!” Leon hissed under his breath After some minutes, Tara was stable but her breathing was heavy He grabbed the patient chart. IV line, medication logs, serum batch numbers He took out his phone and te
104. Who is the Don?
Raina’s hands gripped the steering wheel as her car hummed through the quiet streets The flash drive Leon had given her weighed in her mind How had she been so stupid to think just handing over the audio record could solve the crime? That would be here turning a blind eye to the fact that it might never resurface again and Kendra would be free Raina knew had to solve it herself She didn’t know who she could trust Not Garry, Not Vince. Neither could she trust captain Moore and Chief Sandra Raina could feel the weight of the audio record not in grams, but in consequences Leon had just given her a key to close the door of the investigation but now she was concerned Concerned for her son’s safety Her blackmailer could harm him, if she made the wrong moves She finally pulled into her driveway The neighborhood was quite save for barking dogs Raina turned off engine of the car she stepped out into the cold night breeze Entering into her apartment, the front
105. Transfer order
Across town, in the police station The holding cell smelled like cold metal and old sweat Kendra sat on the narrow bench, legs crossed, back straight Like she was waiting for a meeting, not freedom A guard walked past, the keys in his hands jingles . Then the metal doors clanged somewhere far down the corridor Kendra didn’t look up Footsteps stopped outside right in front of her cell. “Your lawyer is here to visit you” the guard said Kendra finally lifted her eyes “About time, isn’t it?” “What do you mean?” The guard asked Kendra shot a smile at him, as she straightened up “I said wrong timing, I was about to sleep” Kendra lied The guard nodded his head, believe what she had just said The cell door buzzed open She stepped out, hands cuffed in front of her The walk to the visitation room was quiet Kendra noticed it immediately, there were less guards and less noise She smiled slightly, just a little bit *** The lawyer was already seated when she entered. Mr.
106. Walk into fire
At Doctor Banks hospital when Leon got the call from Raina “It’s Raina, I have gotten something!” “I am listening” Leon replied as he stepped out of Tara’s room so he could talk in private without Doctor banks and the nurse listening “Something just clicks now” Raina continued. “About the drugs shipment” Leon’s jaw tightened “Kendra?” he asked “We already know Kendra wasn’t the source” Raina said. “She was the distributor” Leon leaned against the wall “And who is the source? Have you figured that out?”he asked A pause “The Don she mentioned” Raina said “But I have no name, no ID yet” Leon closed his eyes briefly I traced the shipment routes again” Raina continued “It turns out this isn’t the first time there is a shipment like this, this is just the first it’s being spotted” “Okay?” Leon asked “What do you have?” “There was an authorized shipment from another food company to Garfield Publishing House, four months ago” she said “Same place. Same shell accounts” Leon rem
107. Memory Lane
At Doctor Banks Hospital The room smelled like antiseptic, the room was quiet save for the machine beeping Tara’s eye gently flickered, then it went open slowly, she stared at the ceiling, counting the tiny cracks One…two…three It was another room, when was she moved? Her head didn’t hurt this time That alone felt strange, she felt much better this time The door opened softly as Leon walked in He still wore the black shirt she had known him for and his shoes, every so the same Leon, her pauper husband He also had his controlled face “You are awake” he said “Is that how you greet?” Tara replied instead Leon was as much as she knows him, arrogant and poor “I see you are getting back your memory” Leon chuckled, that was the real Tara The mean and sassy one “Did you expect my memory to be gone forever? So you would take over my inheritance as my husband?” “I already divorced you, it’s left for you to sign the papers” Leon spat in a low tone, all her memories
108. Mummy is coming
Raina stared at the phone in her hands Her thumb was still bleeding from the screen glass that had pierced it The screen was cracked She almost regret the habits of throwing things, it never did end well She pressed the power button again Only the white lights again It didn’t come up “Fuck…” she whispered She was frustrated, if her phone was down that means she couldn’t receive nor make calls Her chest rose and fell too fast, she forced herself to breathe She breathed in and breathed out She had to think, that was not the moment for panicking Not now Leon’s number was stored in the phone Everything was in the phone She ran her fingers through her hair and looked around the room “Put yourself together Raina” she muttered to herself “Think…think” Her eyes landed on the old telephone fixed to the wall The landline She rushed to it and lifted the receiver Her fingers shook as she dialed St. Mary Children’s Home Busy She hung up and dialed a
109. I want him dead
Sir Chio stood behind the podium, He was dressed in an expensive suit On his left hand was a gold wrist watch The wrist watch that was very visible as he elaborated with hand gestures Cameras flashed endlessly Microphones crowded his face Behind him was a large banner with bold letters CHIONADI GROUP — BUILDING A STRONGER FUTURE Sir Chio adjusted his cufflinks slowly He smiled, it was not a warm smile, not even kind It was smile of a man who knew he had already won He had the influence, he had the money too “Our vision” Sir Chio said calmly “Is to create industries that do not just generate profit, but shape the future of this country” Applause followed Cheered too, loud enough that made him smile, genuinely this time He had faithful fans and obedient followers He raised a hand, silencing them “I am a man that believe in structure.
