"Sounds more like a hooker to me. If he had a girlfriend she would have come in several times" Zen stated with confidence.

"Maybe he does. I didn't keep the CCTV camera out the door. Now did I scoff?

" But shadow. Who names their Kid Shadow? LOL" Ellora said

" don't worry. It's a nickname" I said calmly.

" How did you know?" Ian asked still half asleep

" I just know." I answer.

We video chatted for 30 minutes as I have to say what I saw yesterday in front of Shadows house.. I of course didn't mention anything about what happened today as I don't wanna die.

After I returned from the beach I called 911 non emergency section and informed them about the encounter. I gave them the place where they could find CCTV of both the guys and ended the call.

After that I spoke with my parents who lives in Victoria, Prince Edward Island and gave update them about my life. Of course not today's incident. My dad is an architect and mom is a Registered nurse. I am a privileged only child and for them I could study for this long without worrying about cash capitals. But it is high time for me to save my own for further studies. Though they will be more than glad to pay.

" You know you could have done LLM instead of working" Mom offered with a hoping eyes.

" I studied for the last 20 years. Let me have a break" I roll my eyes with a smirk.

" Okay! But focus more on the Bar exam," She exclaimed sternly.

"yes, I am already doing that" Lie after lie. I forgot for a month that I have a Bar exam in April. It's November and I have 4 months. Bar exam! With the pressure of work I forgot about them. Nice. I have to buy some books and head towards the library to study. It's 12 PM so I have a lot of time. I made chicken Pasta and watched a series and fell asleep. Got up at 5 pm.

I Packed my laptop, iPad, books and notes and headed towards the library. I wore a white T shirt, ripped jeans and a denim jacket with Air force.

On the way I stopped in a coffee shop, ordered an iced white chocolate mocha and grabbed a turkey sandwich. I went to the library and started preparing to study. It wasn't pretty. I had to list out all the subjects I need to study , books I need to buy, All the laws which were amended recently. printing all the papers from the law record and case files that my little study area looks so messy. It was when I heard a growl inside my stomach. I looked at the time and It was 11:53 pm.

I as always panicked. I shoved everything inside my bag and borrowed 2 books from the library and left out. It's a fifteen minutes walk and the reason I didn't bought car. But it was so deserted already and after today's incident my leg was shaking. Should I just stay in the Library for night I thought. But I have work tomorrow so we all know the answer. I walked slowly and whenever I heard a sound I flinched. Constantly I had to look back to make sure I wasn't followed. I grabbed my keys and held them in my knuckles.

I made it to my home without dying, raped or kidnapped. I was waiting for an elevator when a black hooded guy stood next to me. I mean there are more than 100 people who live in this apartment and I know only one of them. So I got busy scrolling through my Instagram catching up for the last 6 hour. The elevator came down and we both entered . I went back and realized I didn't press my floor. But I also realized he didn't do it either. When the door was going to close someone put their hand in between the doors and entered. I looked up and saw a shadow. He stood between me and the hooded guy.
