Eleanor's POV

I glance over at James from my desk, he's leaning back in his office chair and scrolling through his emails, I stand up and walk out of my office, Allison is talking to someone on her office phone, I knock on his door, 'come in' James calls out. 

I walk in and close the door behind me, he smiles at me as I walk over to his desk, 'I want to ask you something' I say, fiddling with my fingers, he nods, 'Can I meet your mother and sister again?' 

His smile drops and an eyebrow raises, 'why?' 

'Well, its just been a while since I last saw them, and I'm beginning to miss my own parents but they live so far away so I thought that maybe if I met your mother and sister it would help me feel less homesick' I explain, surprising myself at how easily the lie came out of my mouth, well I guess there's a bit of truth to me feeling homesick, but I wasn't going to tell him that Zoe called me.

'Is that the only reason? This seems a bit random, it also wasn't long ago that you were at my house and saw Zoe' he stares at me intensely. 

'I know, but that was so brief, please?' I pout and try to look cute, mentally smirking when I see his face soften. 

'Fine, I will call them and plan a lunch or dinner' he sighs, I grin and clap my hands slightly, 'Now come here' he says.

I move closer to him as he grabs my wrist and pulls me down onto his lap, burying his face into my neck, 'I've missed you' he mumbles, kissing at the skin.

'Stop, Allison could walk in' I giggle at the tickling feeling. He grunts dismissively, still nipping at the skin on my neck before his mouth attaches and starts suckling, a let out a moan of surprise and feel him smirk. 

Suddenly his office phone rang, making us both jump, my hand goes up to touch my neck and from the tender feeling I can already tell there's now a hickey on my neck, 'hello?' his voice sounds low and husky as he picks up the phone and holds it to his ear. 

I stay on his lap, leaning my head back on his shoulder as he twirls strands of my hair around his fingers, occasionally I can hear the voice of a man on the phone with him, talking away as he responds curtly, I strain my ears a little as the muffled voice on the phone begins to sound familiar, who is he talking to? Why does it sound familiar? I don't know many people in this town as I'm always either working or with Allison or Oliver and the only men I have spoken to have been James, Oliver, Logan and Matthew from the hospital. 

So, why does the voice sound familiar to me? Does it mean it's one of them? No, it can't be, James and Oliver hate each other so there's no way Oliver would call him on his office phone, right? From what I know, James isn't part of Logan's gang, so it wouldn't be him? Maybe Matthew has called him from the hospital, James did say his father lives there? 

Or, perhaps it's nothing, maybe the voice just sounds rather generic and therefore familiar. I decide to ignore it and soon after he hangs up the phone. A knock on his door sounds, and I quickly hurry off his lap making him frown before he tells the person to come in, Allison walks in, glancing between the two of us. 

'I should go' I say, squeezing past Allison and hurrying out of the room. After a few minutes Allison came into my office, I smiled at her as she sat down. 

'I have something to tell you' she says, frantically tapping away at her phone screen.

'What is it?' I asked curiously.

'I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I've just seen a news report that has just been published and now I have to tell someone, you're the only person I can trust' she says before coming over to my side of the desk. 

'What is it? You're worrying me' I frown, before she hands me her phone. On it, is a picture of a room with rows of shelves and jars full of something that I couldn't quite make out, I swipe across the screen and the next picture is of a couple of the jars on the shelf with what looked like organs inside, 'what is this?' I ask, looking up at Allison. 

She looks scared, her eyebrows knitted and her teeth tugging at the skin of her bottom lip, 'last time that I went to Logan's house I found a secret room with those jars of organs inside, there was so many of them and I didn't know what to do I was scared, so I just pretended like I didn't see anything but now a news report has come out that a few towns away the police have infiltrated a warehouse in the middle of a trade between two gangs who were selling human organs and I just can't help but feel that Logan was involved' 

'What? How did you not call the police? Where is he getting so many organs from?' I ask her, shocked. 

'I don't know where he's getting them from but I can't just go to the police Eleanor, he's literally the leader of the gang, he's going to know it was me straight away and kill me' She panics, I hand her phone back to her. 

'Listen Allison, I'm not going to force you to go to the police but what are you going to do? I am sure that Logan knows you really like him so if you distance yourself from him now then he might suspect something but at the same time, you could be in danger' I worry, she nods slowly with a sigh, 'don't worry we will think of something' I assure her, taking her hand in mine.
