After a week of nursing, bathing, playing and caring for her two cats, Zara was simply exhausted. Feeling washed up and tired she needed a sort of release.
Zara couldn't sleep...she had nightmares every night about being attacked or being locked in a dirty cage.
she would often wake up crying or on the verge of a panic attack.She felt lonely with two cats and a spacious apartment. So she purchased cat stroller and went on her apartments rooftop to watch the sun come up...
{who was that man, who saved me}
{I have to keep myself safe}
{I'm tired}
{I'm honestly scared for myself}
she went into a spiral of thoughts...And as she watched the sunrise while also glancing back at her cats to ensure their safety...The man apeared.
The same man that saved her was now here, on the rooftop.Scanning her..making sure the coast was clear.
He seemed observant and pensive.
Conscious and reserved.
Strong yet fragile.. with a black mask covering his eyes, he was all there.Zara being cautious she asked "why are you here"
Man: I have a question for you..
Zara: well, yes?
Man: Did your father ever hurt you?Zara: yes (she let out with a sigh)
Man: Gunther V. Rumphrey was a federal agent in the FBI until he injured his knee and had a quick retirement..correct?
Zara: What no he was a truck driver.
Man: yes that is true but besides my point.
Zara: who are you, Police,FBI, detective.
Man: No, I'm black justice..Zara: black justice...what are you on about?
Man: before you were born he was in the FBI and he has connections, he will find you. You have to go in witness protection.
Zara: witness protec..NO
Man: You don't have a choice, you'll get hurt.
Zara: No I won't run anymore, I've made a life here..I'm not backing away from it because of my dad. I'm not doing anything for him anymore.
Man: It's a must for you to go, you can take your cats if that's your worry.
Zara: I'm not the little girl he once knew, I can defend myself.
Man: your dad is Falcone. he has people currently watching your every move.
Zara double takes and backs away from the man.
Zara: This sounds classified how do you know?
(she adds in a weary voice)Man: I'm his archnemisis
A woman with a hood on walks out from behind a corner.
Veron: Zara you have to listen to him.
Zara falls to her knees in disbelief "momma?" with tears in her eyes she runs to the woman and wraps her into a warm hug.
The woman starts to sob and sniffle..
Veron: please come with me into witness protection..It's the best option for us.Zara: I can't momma, I have to live my life.
She says now as a tear rolls down her face.
Veron: I have to go..please make this choice, it's a safe one.Zara: momma what do I do?
Veron: just come with me..it will be safe. Just incase you have to flee this nice man has a suit for you.
She extended her hand that had a suit made of bullet proof leather and fireproof material.
Zara: thankyou
Zara reached out wiping her tears with the other hand.and just like that the woman and man exited the roof leaving Zara in her tears of reality.
{time skip}
After taking a warm shower and eating her meal alongside her cats Zara was watching TV while researching for her job.
*bing*bing*her phone buzzes with a text sliding down on her screen. A text from an unknown number.
++Zara Rumphrey this is your witsec officer, you have the choice between moving to Spain,Michigan,Alaska and Florida.
Zara didn't reply..something in her wanted to, but she couldnt.
Making a call to the officer she waited patiently for an answer..
Person:Hello
Zara: Yes, this is Zara Rumphrey..I'm calling about the witsec options.
Person: okay, what seems to be the dilemma maam.
Zara: well I don't want to move, I actually want to stay where I am.
Person: well in that case you would be in just as much danger than before.
Zara: can security move in, I have a spare room.
Person: it sounds risky, yet the person you are trying to avoid has huge connections and can trace you to just about anywhere.
Zara: so does it sound like a plan?
Person: yes, I'm still unsure that this plan will be successful as we strongly recommend a change in location, but it's whatever you want to do.
Zara: thankyou
Person: yup, we will be sending two officers one female and one male. They will come with the passcode (*galapagos*). If they don't say that word...DO NOT LET THEM IN.
Zara: will do. Bye
