Henry was excited with the news. It seemed like things were going in their favour. Lucas was no longer the mayor, this meant there was a new government, but he didn't seem to know what was next. He didn't know what was coming for him.

His facial expression showed how serious he was, and how he was ready to make a contract with Drake, but little did he know that there was something bigger for him.

Frustration forced on his face when he didn't get to drake via call. It wasn't that he wasn't dialling. The issue was that the call wasn't being picked up which was a huge problem. He was trying to handle it like the adult he was, but it didn't seem it was going well.

“Maybe he's busy…” Henry concluded, but at that moment, there was something else. He noticed there was no way Drake was so busy that he wouldn't take his call.

“Was it the position? Maybe I should go see him in his office…” he expressed, and immediately grabbed his keys. He was prepared to make things make sense.

    Drake is doing everything right to please the bishop because he knew his position was at risk. Besides, everything was going well for him. The power, the respect, and the fame. It was all he ever wanted, and now he was getting everything he ever wanted.Drake's cell rang, and upon staring at the screen, he saw it was Jackson. His face instantly filled with creased lines, but instead of being mad, there was concern on his face. He has been doing everything right.He hummed and then immediately proceeded to take the call. “Hello?” His voice showed how skeptical he was, and how he was trying to know what the issue was.“We need to see immediately there's something we need to discuss. Is that alright?” Not having any choice, Drake hummed in agreement, but before he could ask what the matter was, he noticed that the call had already ended. Since he knew where they were already getting at, all he needed to do was to make sure he got to the meeting place on time. “Jackson? What's this all

    “She must be stopped! I thought you said you were going to handle it!” He screamed, and there was a lot going on. He needed time to understand what was actually going on.“Yes. We did, but she's a renowned detective and most times her guys are afraid to arrest her. She's just too–” the bishop shot him a glare which made him feel weak. He swallowed, and tried to control himself, but it seemed like things were going out of control.He didn't even know how else to handle it. He bit his lips, and immediately lowered his head.“I’m sorry. I didn't mean for all this to happen this time, but it's really going to be hard to do something like this. You need to understand that things are really hard at this point.”“Hard? Do you mean hard?” he asked with raised brows, and there was no response. The bishop was making his life a living hell. At this point, he didn't wish he should sign up for something like this. He was extremely worried that he was going to face this kind of judgement from him.

    “Please.. please…” There were distant chatters when the man was brought before the bishop who had his head lowered the whole while, but was still somehow able to see the man who was begging for his life.“Please, don't kill me. I'll tell you all you need to know. I promise…” there were so many things involved at this moment, but whatever the man said finally got the bishop interested.“Hmm, anything right? I heard you worked closely with Norman. Didn't you?” The man who was on his knees, shaking and sweating like there was no tomorrow was unable to answer. He had so many reasons not to. First, he was scared, and secondly, he knew answering didn't guarantee his freedom.“Are you going to speak, or you're like those strong heads who prefer to be tormented because that's my favourite game.”“T-tormented?” He stammered, breathing hard. Confusion reigned in his heart, and he felt as though a lot of things were wrong.“No, no I don't like to be tormented. Please just let me go. I am the

Norman must be set free okay?” “When does you being ever affect you this much? You're pale, and your eyes are baggy. In scared for you, and I don't even know how to say it. Please understand what I mean. Can you do that for me?” She asked with raised brows, and Bethany smiled.“Yeah… I do, but we're getting late. Just get the car ready. You'll be driving me. How about that?” She asked, and her female counterpart smiled. “Of course, but after this we're going to take you to a hospital. Do you understand?” Bethany wanted to be stubborn, but she knew that she wasn't going to go anywhere with the attitude. She had to just play along because if she didn't, she was never

There was already a lot on the ground. She was trying her best to ensure that things went well. “One of the lessons you learn as a detective is never to trust anyone. I know you have been seeing a lot lately, but I need you to understand that things would be good enough.”Silence reigned. But she was still convinced that he was taking these things too far. He was trying to calm them down, but unfortunately, it seemed they were unable to be calmed. She was worried about the way things were. Her heart drummed, but she tried to make him understand.“Listen… maybe we should–” she was still trying to convince Andrew when all of a sudden the door to the emergency ward was opened and the doctor immediately came into the house.

Her throat danced around, and she felt a sharp ain in her chest. If only there was a way to actually make things work out, it would have been easier, but at this point, nothing was easy.

    Bethany was adding finishing touches to her makeup when she heard the doorbell. Her heart skipped a beat, and the brush she held fell in the ground. However, as she bent down to pick it up, she banged her head which caused her to actually feel pain.“Aw!” She grunted, rubbing her hair gently. She seemed to have hurt herself, and wasn't able to pick up the brush before she heard the doorbell again. This time, she moved to go answer the door.Upon pulling the door open, she was met with a surprise that caused her to gasp.A bouquet of flowers being held almost like a tower.“Norman?” She called, but only heard his voice. “I'll let the keep these inside… why don't we wait in the car?’ It seemed he was behind his guard who held the flower.

She was trying so hard to interrogate, but he didn't seem interested. His eyes darkened, and he tried to make her fear him, but Bethany was someone with a double skin. “Are you going to speak, or should I torment you until you have something to say?” She asked, and there was silence. No one knew what was being said the only thing that mattered at this point was the fact that a lot was going on. “Do you think I fear you?” Bethany scoffed, and that was when she brought out the big guns. She knew there was a way to make him speak even when it was going to take time.Well, her diagnosis was true. She was so good

    Bethany was still trying to get things in place, but she didn't know how else to do it.“Your mother will be under our protective care, and that's a promise. We are going to ensure that she's fine. You just have to play along with us. Is that okay?” “You're being too calm with her. Why do you expect her to speak up? Torment her. She doesn't even deserve to be given a time to speak. She's a monster. Do you understand?” Bethany flashed her a glare, and she immediately kept quiet. Linda had always thought she was actually being this way because she was the boss, but the truth remained that the girl didn't even mind her dying.“I didn't mean to do it I swear. I just–” “Give us the info we need to know, and maybe we'll just give you a suspension and nothing more. Maybe you'll even be allowed back into the service, and this won't go outside the office. How about that?” All that seemed like a really good offer. The girl was still really skeptical. The worse part of all this was the fact

    “Who?” Bethany asked. She seemed to be really into whatever was going on. She was worried that she had another betrayer in her midst which wasn't good.“I believe we'll bust him and have him arrested when you get better, but for now, why don't you focus on getting better first. Soon enough, we're going to actually make sense of everything else.” She didn't have any other choice. At one point, she was seeing everything in a confused manner. She knew that things were horrible. Bethany was determined to recover. She took the dose norman made for her everyday, and made sure she was resting well. Andrew, and the rest of her squad handled things in the state while she took time to recover.After a while, she was finally able to get herself.
