The smell of disinfect could make one throw up in the hospital but to those who are used to it, it was normal to them. Julie ran to where her mother was and hugged her. “Hello there” miss Lucy called with a smile. “You left me alone!” Julie wailed, and her mother scoffed at her. Julie just needed to know when her mother was hospitalized. “Shouldn't you be happy I'm alive… ungrateful…” “Wench” Julie completed, holding on to the bed as they both laughed. Seemed like these two females had forgotten Brian was sitting behind Julie and just couldn't wait to leave here. “Thank you” Julie muttered while he nodded. Usually, it was Julie who says thank you to anyone who helped out, but now, it was miss Lucy. Julie waved at Brian with a charming smile,, and he smiled back. He had gotten a break fast for the both of them and had assigned a nurse to take care of miss Lucy while he goes for an important meeting. He had told Julie, who was sad that he was leaving, that he would return in the evening. “Mom, when did this happen?” Julie asked a little while when Brian left. “Well I was feeling a little dizzy this morning, so I decided to leave for a check-up” she lied and Julie scoffed at her. “Early in the morning I guess” she affirmed as Julie sat beside the stretcher. She couldn't see the bandage on her mother, since miss Lucy was wearing a hospital gown. “Why is your boss here, then?” Julie mused and miss Lucy glared at her. “Enough of your questions, it's so annoying” miss Lucy concluded, rubbing her daughter's hair. “Did you get something to eat?” “Yes, while on our way” Julie responded as miss Lucy heaved a sigh. “Get well soon” Julie furthered while miss Lucy smiled at her. Brian unbuttons his shirt and flipped on his couch, the memories of last night wouldn't go easy, especially when he saw miss Lucy with a gun, she was so good in it which was making the case he worked on intriguing. He sat on the couch and rubbed his forehead in annoyance, questions kept popping out of his head like; how did she get there? What was her relationship with Rodger? How long have they known each other? How did manage to shoot him because Rodger seemed to be a tough person? Brian paced to his study room and brought out a file from his drawer. It had death cases relating to one particular being, but it was hard to suspect because she's a celebrity. “The child… isn't she way younger to have her?” He beckoned, estimating the age difference. “Just who are you, Lucy?” He panicked trying to analysis the scene of last night and the flash drive Alisha gave to him on the day keva was murdered. Alisha had said some goons were after her, could it be that miss Lucy wasn't working alone? Burring!!! His phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. It was an unknown number and felt reluctant to answer the call. It rang again and this time around he picked it up. “Hello?” The voice echoed and Brian Scoffed at the caller. “What now? You want me to come back or what?” “Don't try playing smart Brian… it's not helping” the caller cautioned with a husky voice “I wasn't playing smart, besides I'm here to finish what you started” Brian replied and cut the call immediately, not waiting to hear what the caller intended to say. He also blocked the line and continued what he was doing. Just then, his doorbell rang, and he walked towards the door, opened it and found no one but a mini box on its step. Brian picked it up and was curious to know who delivered it since he didn't place any order for the day and what was in it. He quickly ripped it open and found a gun wrapped with a letter which read; “You're next!”. Brian picked the empty pistol and observed it, it was similar to the one miss Lucy held last night at the casino and his guess was Rodger since he didn't die. “You're next” Brian repeated with an evil smile. “Let's see who dies first” he chanted, walking towards his study room. Now it was getting complicated, what if it wasn't Rodger that sent this but the caller earlier who was warning him to back down? “Oliver!” Brian thought, he needed to speak to him since he was in Los Angeles and was close to the major, he must have known cases relating to miss Lucy too. Oliver was having a nice time with his family at the beach when Brian call came in “Oh this man remembered me when I am having a good time” he mused answering the call. “Oliver, I need your help” Brian beckoned. “You said what, I can't hear you!” Oliver yelled back because where he was standing was noisy. “Could you just leave there please and stay somewhere quiet!” Brian advised and Oliver heeded to it. “About miss Lucy, can you send me numbers of witness that back down?” He furthered. “I'm sorry but most of them relocated, some died, and their numbers aren't connecting either” Oliver replied rubbing his legs which was tanned from sun burn. “How about Rodger? You should have heard of him.” Brian pressed. “Yes, who wouldn't have heard of that man who uses girls as sex slave but it's so surprising that he was never arrested because he owns the city… that's the name he was given though” Oliver rapped and Brian tried to get the lines he uttered correctly. “That's because someone is backing up from the police force” Brian proclaimed. “But I could link you up with someone who might have answers to a few of your questions…will you be able to travel that far?” “Whose that?” “Well, the lady who was more like a mother to miss Lucy and an ex-maid,” Oliver replied.
