CHAPTER 33
A FAMILY MEETINGEthan started his day around 9 am.He went to Mr Winsor's place before heading towards the Cley Islands, reaching there at exactly noon.Ethan entered the house at the exact time to see Mr and Mrs Anderson descending the stairs, together with Keziah.Keziah was no longer with her walker and was walking unaided now, with a limp in her walk.Ethan smiled as he stood at the doorway.Keziah immediately hurried towards him.She was unable to run, but she tried walking faster.Mr and Mrs Anderson looked on as Keziah went to give Ethan a long hug, with a smile on their face.After they disengaged, Ethan walked towards her parents and basic premises with them.Jeziah was with him all the time, beaming with smiles.The dining table was arranged, and they all went ahead to have a seat.Mr and Mrs Anderson sat at one side of the table, while Keziah sat beside Ethan with a smile on her face.She looked very happy.“So Doctor Ethan…” Mr Anderson began.“I am glad you came, and I a

END OF THE ROADJake was pushed into the police van and immediately driven away.He sat in the back of the van with the handcuffs on his hands.Three policemen were in the van with him.There was a police car ahead of the van, clearing the way, while another followed them from behind.Jake sat quietly, gritting his teeth.Everything was not making sense to himMaybe he was just being unlucky.For the entire week he had gone into hiding, thinking he was going to be busted; he was never busted.Now that he had decided to come back to stay, just a day later, he was arrested.If he had stayed for much longer in his hiding, maybe all of these would not have happened.He had had the worst timing ever.He partially blamed himself for all of these.When he left Ava's house and took his money, maybe he should not have looked back in any way.It was his own fault for going back to look for Ava.Had he kept himself in his hiding place for a longer time and never come out, it would have meant no

NOT SWIFT ENOUGHJake was lying in his bed, scrolling through his social media.It was an early morning, and he had nothing to do that day except to check how his stocks were doing.This was the second day he had been in his house after he returned from hiding.Everything felt very peaceful once again, and life was going well for him.He had not heard from Ava or Ethan in a while, and now he was sure everyone had stopped searching for him.He was now free to live his life as he pleased; he just needed to make sure he had no brushes with the law He was not in town and did not have any information or any idea what was going on in town.A call came in on his phone.He answered the phone with a raised eyebrow.He knew who the caller was; he was just surprised that the call came in that early morning.“Hello,” Jake said as he answered the call.“Hello. Boss. You need to flee right away. Ava and two other guys have been arrested. I don’t know what is going on, but it is not looking good.”
CHAPTER 130
PART OF THE PARTY Ethan got home that evening feeling happy.He had been informed by Ike that they had also been able to arrest Ava that morning and she was still under interrogationEthan was happy because he knew the whole case was about to end.If Ava had truly been arrested, it meant they would have a great deal of information from her.Ava was very weak when it came to those things and was never going to cover up for her partners in crime.She was definitely going to sell them, and Ethan knew what that meant.It only meant Jake was going to be found easily.Ava was the only one who knew about Jake's whereabouts, and the moment they got Jake, it meant they had the two primary suspects together.That for sure means they will be going to court next week.Ethan lay on a sofa in his living room, watching a random series he had found online.He had gotten engrossed with it, enjoying the acting of the characters.He was watching “The Good Doctor” and was enjoying every bit of itAs he

TIME TO SPILL THE BEANS.Ava was seated in the back of the police van.Two policemen were with her in the back, and two people were in front, one of whom was a driver.Her hands were still cuffed together.She sat quietly, wondering what was going to happen to her.She knew very well that this time she was not going to come out innocent.Even if she had the best lawyer in town, she was still going to be guilty.Ava wondered if she was the only one going to be arrested or if all the people involved were going to be arrested.Ethan only knew that she had killed him and did not know what had really happened that resulted in the death of the man.Unfortunately, she had decided not to carry the cross alone, but instead, called out the names of the people she knew were involved.She sat in the van quietly as it moved at top speed, heading towards Dome.Ava grew curious and restless as the car moved on the road, heading closer and closer to Dome.She did not know what to expect.…..After a

PARTNER IN CRIMERuby finished her work in the office after about an hour and quickly paused to go look for Ava at the Redwood police station.When she got there, Ava was sitting behind the reception, still in handcuffs, her head bowed.“Good morning, Officer. I am here to see Ava,” Ruby said as she greeted the policewoman at the reception.Ava looked up after hearing the voice to see Ruby.A glimmer of hope flashed on her face as she looked up.“I am sorry, ma'am. But I cannot allow you to see her. I would advise you to come back later,” the policewoman said.Ruby looked surprised.Ruby realised she was not going to be allowed near Ava, so she employed another trick.“Can I just stand here and talk with her? She is right behind you,” Ruby said and pointed to her.The policeman looked back at Ava, who was looking at them eagerly to hear her answer.She then looked back at Ava.She simply nodded.“Ava, are you okay?. Is it true what they said?” Ruby asked.Ava shook her head in the neg
