Chapter Two

“Then why did you ask for us specifically?”, I said as I frowned at his arrogance.“Oh, I didn’t ask for you guys -I asked for you. Umm by the way, can you please tell your friend that he needs to get lost and it goes the same for the other guys behind the screen hiding like little high school gossipers. ”

I signaled my partner with a single light nod that only he could see-or that’s what I thought.

“Good, now how about you help me and I will help you?”

“And how are you planning to help me?”

“I got a lead detective. And I think that you would be the one that will help me. What do you think?”

The last thing I could do -is to lose this case especially after what happened six years ago-I will never forgive myself as long as that psycho is alive and breathing. I took the offer even if I have to get my hands dirty.

“Fine, let’s do this.”

“I will tell you the time and place detective, but I can do it here. Just follow my instructions,” he said as he started getting closer to her.

He suddenly bent his head down and kissed her on the cheek.

All I could feel was my cheeks burning up, he used those rich soft lips to kiss a mediocre lady’s cheek like that, I didn’t know what to think when he did this all of a sudden, but then my chest felt tight as I thought about how many other women he kissed-especially if he did more than a kiss on a cheek, but then I could feel him putting a piece of paper in the back of my shirt.

That moment in time, I felt like my whole life was exposed, as I could feel like studying me and reading me like an open book. I felt bare and I also trusted him. I don’t think I have ever put my life open like that.

I soon went to the ladies as I started to open up my shirt, I could feel a sticky note peeling slowly from my exposed back. I started to sigh as I put my work shirt back on with one hand and picked up the note with the other to see an address. I walked out, past the door that always had a creaking noise whenever you open or close it.

My body jerked back in shock and a split second, I put the note under my bra strap and acted like I was adjusting it when I saw Moriarty, just … standing. Like as if he was waiting for an explanation of what happened but all I could do was mouth out the words until I felt my breath catching back to me.

“What’s wrong Moriarty?”I asked as I started to walk to my desk

“Not much, I just wanted to ask what he told you back there?”

All I could do was force the words out of my mouth and lie to him,” The idiot just tried to blackmail me using my private life”, I said as I tried to sound as normal as possible.

All I could do is question myself, why do I suddenly feel that everyone is after Kier?
