Detective Raina sat across from Amy Newton at the downtown police station They were using there instead of the usual place of their normal assigned station because detective Harris felt like someone from that station was a mole Amy’s hands trembled around a tissue wet with her tears “The last time I spoke with John was two weeks ago” Amy sniffed “I…I blocked his number, wouldn’t take calls or text messages from him. After our breakup, I just couldn’t talk to him anymore” “Before the breakup did you notice anything suspicious with John? Maybe calls he wouldn’t let you hear? Meetings he didn’t talk about. Anything unusual?” “I cheated on him” Amy voice came out low “My high school lover had just returned to Zyrai from abroad-John deserved better…” Tears trickled down Amy Newton eyes Raina adjusted in the seat, she wanted to hear something else Something that could connect to who John was working with “…When I heard the news, I felt so angry with myself for not being

65. A Liar
In a dark penthouse office, lit by a single lampSmoke curled in the air from the cigarettes hanging between the fingers of the DonHe leaned back in his leather chair, leg crossed “The detective had another interrogation out of the station, off record, my intel says they still have nothing” “As expected” Kendra smiled a little, satisfied “Amy knows nothing, John did not tell her a thing”“Good. Then I guess we have nothing to bother about-your friend?” the Don asked“She dies today” Kendra repliedThe Don nodded, approval “Well, I must say you covered this well- next time don’t mess with my shipment”“Understood. I won’t let you down again, boss” Kendra repliedAs Kendra walked out of the study, she felt fulfilledEverything was working out just fineSoon the detective would give in and stop the investigation, then she would know she fully won“Kendra” he called herShe paused“Win this.

Kendra’s laugh sounded through the room “Did you hear me?” she leaned low to Tara so she is face to face with her “I am going to kill you so you never stand between me and Zayn” Tara gritted her teeth as she jerked forward to attack Kendra Instincts urged her to fight, to headbutt, to claw but the ropes sucked her back into the chair, biting into her skin She was no where close enough to at least nod Kendra with her head Instead her wrist suffered for it “You can’t do anything, Tara” Kendra whispered, smiling “Happy death day” Kendra returned to the table to prepare the injection tube Kendra’s hands moved, like she had rehearsed a thousand times Tara’s pulse hammered in her ears Kendra was not playing “You think you’re clever, don’t you?” Kendra’s voice was low “You have no idea how much you ruined my life.
