~21.00 pm, night, Alastair's place~

Kasity :

"The information Ms. Damassiel" he asks...

"Sorry, but I don't have it, I guess Mr. Kingstone does not fully trust me anymore" I answer...

"He must be in his office at this time of the night though...And he keeps everything there." I continue...

"The number" he says...

I approach him, slowly, until I was just in front of him.

He looks at me, but I don't answer yet.

My hand moves to his tie as I pull him closer.

"You have it." I answer.

"The office number." he says emphasising each word...

I let go of his tie, turn around and walk towards the table I had left my bag at.

I take out a piece of paper, along with a gun, trying to hide it from him. It was dark anyway, he couldn't notice.

I hear his footsteps approaching me...

When I thought he was close enough I turn around and point the gun to his head.

"Oh, woman, what the hell" he answered, a little scared of course...

A gun to your head, head, to your head•

I smile as I lift my other hand up and show him the piece of paper with Areson's office number on.

I give it to him but the gun is still pointed towards him.

"I just wanted to tell you, sweetheart, that I won't let you harm Areson by any means. You meet at the dock and finish your businesses, no killing." I say...

"You already know my intentions...Of course I will harm Areson, what did you think?" He says, obviously annoyed...

"No you won't, because I want to do it myself" I finish my sentence as I put the gun down, turn around and get ready to leave.

"Impressive...I like you, in fact." He says while looking at the number I gave him.

I laugh.

"Keep dreaming." I say and then leave...

Areson :

I'm at my office, finished the last details. I had some other papers to finish, which I gave them to Elaine since she was still here.

I hear a knock on the door and she came in slowly.

"Mr.Kingstone, I've got them ready." She says, slowly approaching my desk.

"Thank you" I say.

"You can leave now, if you want." I add...

"Yes well... Mr. Kingstone you don't seem fine..." She says...

"When did I seem fine Elaine?" I ask her as I get up, totally nervous about tomorrow, about Alastair...

"Is there something you want to share?" She says as she approaches me...

"I don't reveal things." I answer...

She continues to approach me slowly...

"I just wanted to tell you, that all this time, I have observed your actions, the way you behave...And you don't seem fine." She says...

When she was close enough, she put her hands on my shoulders drawing me closer...

"This is my fine." I answer as I lower my voice...
