The chase

@20@

Jay's p.o.v

After full day of sleep my phone vibrated in its silent mode. It was Swati.

I immediately picked it up.

"Sarge, Robin's on run again." She said hurriedly.

"Robin? How? He was just with me yesterday."

"Whatever just come to the precinct. Quick! We found lead on him."

I quickly threw on my clothes and practically ran to the subway as I smashed in my phone into my bag.

I felt energetic. Another mystery to solve.

Mystery....Robin...what am I forgetting...?

"I never loved you," Knox's voice dawned over in my head.

I suddenly started to feel dreary.
Why am I still doing this? Why am I still trying?

"Last night. Two robberies." She put out files in front of me.

"We need to solve this before FBI steps in," Swati insisted.

I leaned back in tiredness.

"Look. I've been thinking. Or meaning to take a break. For....like say 6 months." I announced.

"6 months? That's half year. What about your salary and stuff?" Fred intervened.

I stood up. Trying to be calm and not hysterical.
"Listen I....can't...I'm sick of this job."

Everyone in the room stayed quiet.

"I already submitted my papers to the captain. I'll be seeing you guys later." I said and took off without seeing their faces.

I opened up my phone and ringed Jiwan.

"Yo. Sup?"

"I'm decided." I announced to him.

"You're giving them?"

"Yeah, only if allow that offer to stay at your VIP suite till delivery was true....and a new phone...and a lawyer." I conditioned and I cut off the phone.

I felt miserable. Everything crumbled right in front of me. My husband, my job, my life.

It was one fight you would say. But it brought back years of painful memories altogether.

Everything hurts.

The day Knox left without telling me goodbye, I shut myself in my room. And my mom as usual started picking fights with me just for shutting my door.

After that endless fights occurred that year which mentally drained me.

I was called a pig, I was called selfish, I was called liar, I was compared to my father whom I hated, I was told that I ruined her life just because I was born.

Usually fights with my parents never really hurt me. Except this last one told. It hurt me bad because I loved my mom. And I was wrong for loving her.

I didn't want to ruin another life by loving them one sidedly.

So my last phone call went to Knox. It went to a voicemail.

"Hey Knox......I think we need stop whatever we're doing. I'll talk with my lawyer and send the divorce papers to your house directly. Have a good life." I cut the voice mail and threw my phone into the ground with all my strength.

It broke apart. Just like my life.

Jiwan and I were sitting at the round table again with a paper and pen between us.

His sleek eyes kept glinting as I slowly took the paper and read its details.

"Party B will not be allowed to contact party A in any way after handing over the babies.
Party B will not contact the babies themselves even when they grow up to legal age.

Party B will not be able to make any legal decisions for the babies.

No more money will be given to party B by party A after the delivery." The last sentences read.

I finally signed it.

What's the worse that could happen?

"Excellent." Jiwan whispered excited.

"You're happy with this?" I asked.

"Yep."

"Good, don't disturb me till delivery date." I added and shut myself in my VIP suite.
