The next day: Sarah's POV

I knocked on Alex's door.

The Voice: I want her dead and in a ditch for what she is doing behind our back.

Sarah: I don't care that you think Max is your mate. I have already killed a person to save Alex. That's enough reason not to solve this issue with a gun. I might want her to be out of Max's life, but this is not the way."

The Voice: There is no relationship problem that can't be solved with a gun.

She opened the door and was surprised to see me.

"What are you doing here?"

"That's how you treat someone who has saved your life in the past." I smiled at her.

"Come in." She closed the door behind me and continued.

"Before you start with your bullshit, I have a story to tell."

"By all means, go on," I answered.

"I went to the store where Max was beaten up."

"You mean where Max saved a girl from three ass hats."

"No, I mean where he got bruised hands and ribs along with a wound on his head. I checked the security cams and tracked the three men; it turned out they were part of a gang. When I asked my friends at the NYPD about them, the supposed gang had run from New York because three of their members were found dead in a random alley tied to chairs. Two bullets were found in each victim's body fired at point-blank range, one in the chest and one in the head, that too with their own guns. It was like someone was trying to make a statement. Can you guess who those guys were?"

"Whoever they were if they were in a gang, they got what they deserved, I suppose." I let the last word linger on my tongue.

"Oh, the story continues; remember when I went to check the security cams, the guy at the reception told me another officer had also come there looking for the same footage. The receptionist said, and I quote, 'the friendly white woman told her name was Elizabeth Keen, with hazel eyes, light brown hair, maybe five ft. seven and a magnificent smile.' I asked for the footage when that other officer came to check; it was gone, deleted. I wonder who that might be."

The Voice: She is onto you; isn't that a good reason to get rid of her.

Sarah: Even if she knows that I killed them, she can't do anything about it because if she calls me in, that means she loses her CI, and I am far too valuable for that. She is just trying to one-up me to have power over me but I have one other card up my sleeve.

"You fucked Max." her eyes widened a little she was not expecting me to know. I pushed her to the wall forcefully kissed her neck hard enough to leave a mark. "You thought I wouldn't notice the hickeys you left on Max."

"Get off me." She pushed me hard and I stumbled back.

"What, you can fuck my boyfriend like I don't exist but I can't even kiss you."

The Voice: Kissing her that your definition of dealing with this problem.

Sarah: yes, now shush.

The Voice: I can't even... I'm leaving.

"Fuck you, why did you kiss me that day!" Alex shouted.

"And you kissed me back." I pointed out, and God, what a kiss it was. It has been a long time since I have been with a woman.
