**AT NIGHT – SAME DAY**
LINDA’S RESIDENCE
Dave was in his room operating on his phone when he heard a soft knock on the door, he looked at the door and saw Linda walked in so he concentrated on his phone behaving as if he didn’t see her walking in. Linda walked close enough to his bed and sat beside him
”I’m sorry Dave” Linda said but Dave did look at her
”I know I have taken these things too far but I just can’t help it. The feelings become stronger and stronger by the day” Linda said and Dave sparkled in words
”Feelings?? Feelings of what?” Dave asked
”Love I guess” Dave answered himself
”No.. It’s not. It’s Innocency” Linda said
”Innocency? You mean a guy that kills anyone he sees, even killed the President is Innocent” Dave asked
”No, Dave, there is another person behind that mask, filled with the pain of his past” Linda said
but before Dave could say anything Linda continued
”Why didn’t he kill Us, Since he kills everyone he sees” Linda asked rhetorically
”Why did he save me without any side actions” She added. Linda said all she could to convince Dave but Dave just starred at her
”So you are trying to convince me again right” Dave said looking at her directly into the eyes
”No, I’m not Dave. Just forgive me first then accept the truth I told you” Linda said and Dave sat on the bed
”It’s alright then, just promise me you won’t let it affect your mind again” Dave said
”I Cross my heart” Linda Promised crossing her hands on her chest
”Alright then, it’s off” Dave said not looking at her
”Really??” Linda asked happily
”Yes of course” Dave said now smiling broadly and Linda jumped on his happily hugging him immediately
”It’s alright jhoor, leave me.. Criminal Lover” Dave jokingly said and they laughed
”You were a Criminal Lawyer but now I will be calling you Criminal Lover” Dave added and Linda joking hit him on his shoulders
”It’s sounds nice anyways” Linda said and they laughed louder….

SPARTACUS LAIR – SAME NIGHT
Spartacus stood at the topmost verander looking up into the sky gazing at four stars that are close to each other but of different sizes. His gun was in his hands also..
Natasha, who no longer felt like a hostage with a Kidnapper searched the house for him and found him there, as she walked closer Spartacus turned immediately and pointed a gun at her…
*************
**CHIEF WILLIAM’S RESIDENCE**
”Good Day Chief” Spartacus greeted walked slowly through the door. Chief Williams was talking with Prof. Michael before Spartacus walked in, so Chief Williams and Prof. Michael looked at Spartacus at the same time
”How did it go?” Chief Williams asked
”I Lost her Sir” Spartacus said folding his arms
”What do you mean you lost her?!!” Chief Williams barked at Spartacus standing up immediately walking towards him
”I walked Out to find her but I couldn’t Sir” Spartacus said
”You want to tell me that she disappeared into thin air?!!” Chief Williams barked further
”I guess she sensed trouble, but not to worry Sir, I’ll track her down Chief” Spartacus said slowly not moving from where he stood
”Better find her… That girl is my….” Chief Williams tried saying but paused and Spartacus starred into his eyes
”Make sure you find that girl..” Chief williams said and rushed to the couch immediately. Prof. Michael did nothing but starred at the both of them. Few seconds into Chief William’s ranting, Spartacus left not uttering a word
”He lost her… Can you imagine” Chief Williams said to Prof. Michael angrily sipping his glass of wine
”Calm down Chief. Spartacus is a deadly man and hates harsh words, you are Lucky he didn’t point his gun at your fore head of which I am surprised also” Prof. Michael said
”He said he will find her, then relax because he will surely find her” Prof. Michael said
”I don’t know why your blood is always hot Chief” Prof. Michael added not looking at him and Chief Williams starred at Prof. Michael hitting his walking stick on the ground.
”Now, Prof. Michael, you know I lost my boys that night those slumps attacked Us” Chief Williams changed the topic and Prof. Michael now looked at him
”Yes.. I know” Prof. Michael replied
”I need new ones, better than the previous” Chief Williams said
”Why?? Spartacus is always here to Protect just like he always do” Prof. Michael said
”Am I hiring them for you?? I said get me three good boys!” Chief Williams said with all seriousness and Prof. Michael mellowed down
”Alright then, I’m on it” Prof. Michael said
”Make it fast enough” Chief Williams said and Prof. Michael brought out his phone putting a call through…

LINDA’S RESIDENCE
”Ouch!! My head” Linda sobbed as she woke up from her unknowing slumber
”Take it easy Sis, just lie down and you will be fine” Dave said holding her down softly
”When did I come to the bed, what happened?” Linda asked shocked to see herself on her bed
”You walked in asking for a glass of juice which I offered to you and few minutes later you slept off with your shoes on hold ing your fore head” Dave said
”What??!!.. Me??” Linda said surprised at his explanations
”So, how did I come to the bed?” She asked further
”I had to carry you here” Dave said and Linda starred at him
”Why are you doing this to yourself Sis” Dave asked before Linda could appreciate him
”What?” Linda asked
”You have been killing yourself concerning this assassin’s case. Why not let go and face your work, your colleague was here earlier complaining about your attitude at work.. Why allt these Sis” Dave complained and asked at same time and Linda exhaled laying her head on the Pillow
”It’s nothing Bro, you won’t understand” Linda said
”What won’t I understand Sis!! If you get arrested on co-working with a high profile assassin, ir killed by the assassin, loose youe job or even loose your mind because of One Criminal that does not even care about you, then I will understand, isn’t it??!!” Dave said harshly but sobbingly
”I need to clear my head” Dave said and walked out
”Dave… Dave…” Linda called out but Dave didn’t answer her
”Hmmmmm” Linda exhaled and sat on the bed with her hands on her jaw.

”Hey Dad..” Cynthia said walking in through the door and rushed to hug her Dad
”Hey Sweetheart” Chief Wilson said pecking her
”Dad, you look happy today” Cynthia said
”Yes my dear, and it’s because of you dear” Chief Wilson said smiling as he sat down
”Me… How?” Cynthia asked smiling also
”I have given your advice a second thought, I and your mother will go back to the states by next week and Later, you go back to Spain to complete your studies, I think that way all this nonsense will end” Chief Wilson said and Cynthia hugged him again immediately
”Thank you Dad” Cynthia and jumped up from the couch
”Lemme get you something cold.. Your favourite..” Cynthia said
How to grow your business while you stay at home
”Please do” Chief Wilson appreciated and they laughed together…
As Cynthia left for the wine, Chief Wilson called Chief Williams on the phone but he was not picking up, so he decided to text him..
