Chapter 23

Moira's POV

Life can't be better than that. I'm really happy for my sister. She's gonna be married in a month. I hope everything is okay between her and Tommy. Vince on the other hand is still single. I've tried to find him someone but it just doesn't work out. I hope he can get along with someone else. Mick is pretty calm lately. Maybe because the pricks who broke his back are in jail. Speaking of pricks, I have a new interesting case. Vivian Sanders was being missing since last week. The evidences show that she was last seen with her sister Jackie Sanders. I interrogated her and she said her sister had prepared herself for a date with someone else. When her sister had left she never came back. From Jackie's testimony it's known that Vivian had had a date in a restaurant. Now Vince is on interrogating act around the corner. If I find some more evidences and testimonies it's gonna be easier for me to understand what happened. And I think Vince is ready. He's here.

"Moira, you won't believe what's going on." Damn, it's like he's seen a ghost.
"What happened?"
"I went to Timothy's restaurant for some testimonies and guess who was there." Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it.
"Who?"
"Nikki Sixx and John Corabi." They kidnapped Vivian.
"Well, and? Were they talking about something suspicious?"
"I couldn't hear well, but the thing I heard was our missing's name." Did Nikki invited her on a date?
"We should keep an eye on them."
"That's what we're about to do. I heard that they're gonna be at the restaurant tomorrow again."
"I'm gonna put a disguise."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am."

Blonde hair and glasses really can make me a different person. But I have to work on my voice. I'm sitting alone and there's no other table free. When they come here they won't have another choice but ask me to sit down. Oh God, they're here. Nikki? Did you cut your hair? And where's that blonde lock? Nevermind, they're coming my way. They look around and realize they have to ask me. Now!
"Excuse me, madam. May we sit here?" Don't freak out.
"Oh, of course."
"Thank you." John has always had that irritating voice.
"Where are my manners, my name is Nate Jacobs. This is my friend, Rick Ashton." ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?
"I'm Miriam Kate. Nice to meet you." Really interesting. We all seem to lie about ourselves, don't we?
We talked lies for several minutes and then I talked with Vince on the phone under the pretext I was talking with my brother. I heard Vivian's name twice. Then John said he was gonna kill her in his second house near Nikki's mansion tonight. Nikki said he didn't want to get involved in John's murders and then he left. I texted Vince to send patrol. Then I left as well. If I don't stop Nikki in time there's gonna be a problem. Fun fact: Nikki took my car keys along with his by mistake.

"Hey Nate."
"Oh, yes?"
"Will you help me please? I can't find my car keys."
"Maybe they're in the restaurant."
"No, I looked for them there. Even Rick tried to help me but they just disappeared. I wonder if you've seen them."

"Hmm.. let me check something." He's coming my way. He checked his pockets. Yup, they're in his hand.
"What were they doing there?"
"Probably I've taken them by mistake."
"Well, thank you. Also I was wondering if you're busy at the moment."
"Actually, I'm free." Bingo.
"Let's go to the cinema."
"That sounds great."

We got out of the cinema. The movie wasn't that interesting so I decided to text Vince. Nikki on the other hand was engulfed in this movie. Vince found a guy who has been torturing Vivian. Now he's in the arrest and Vivian waits in the station. I guess I have to say goodbye to Nikki.
"Hey Miriam, may I share with you something?" What lie are you gonna say this time?
"Sure."
"Have you ever been in love with someone you know you can't have but still want to?" WHAT?
"Um, to be honest no." Now I'm the liar. Fuck
"Well, are you taken?" Um, I don't think I understood.
"No."
"Don't make the mistake that I have made. Find yourself someone you can have. Also, be sure he loves you the way you love him." Is he serious?
"Wow, is there a lady who has hurt you?" I had to ask him, okay?
"Well, to be honest, it's nobody's fault. The circumstances didn't allow us to be together. She's... um..."
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about her."
"Sometimes, I miss her. I know where she is but... I'm afraid to talk with her. We had argued and... things got worse."
"Maybe she had no choice."
"Yeah, maybe. Well, I have to go. I hope we'll meet again."
"I don't think it's possible. I'm going to the airport."
"Oh, have a nice flight then. Thanks for the movie. I needed to go out." Nikki, forget about me. Live your life. I'm okay. Even if it still hurts. Just go away, you're free.
"You're welcome. Also, I'm sorry for asking but what's her name?"
"Moira Adams." Why don't you just forget about me?
"Maybe Moira also wants to see you again." Well, to be honest, she does, but detective Adams doesn't think so.
"I hope so. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
