Twin Flames

Chapter 3

I walk back to the front and see Ace cleaning up the glass and everyone else staring at me, "What?" I ask

"Oh nothing" They say

"Yeah, you seem totally fine" George says sarcastically

"How about we get back to the fact that we are murder suspects" I say

"And the real person behind it is Ryan Hudson" Nancy says walking back in

"No" George says

"I can't believe he's behind it" Bess says

"Why? Cause he's rich?" Nick asks, "I'm with Nancy look at the husband first"

"We need more evidence of his motive" Nancy says

"Which we find where?" George asks

She starts listing off things, "Is there a post-nup? Are they even sharing a bed?..."

I watch her, she seems so natural at this but then something happens, "I mean that's where I would start if I was to start something. But I am sure the police have it handled" She says and walks away

A customer walks in and she starts helping them and I wonder what happened, "Think she'll change her mind?" I ask

"Not sure she's been different since her mom died" George says

I sigh, realizing that's why she's still here. I decide not to push and continue working. The rest of the shift she avoids talking to us, I try to talk to her before she leaves but she's gone before I can. I go back to my apartment and think back to what she was saying, "I would look in their house, husband and wife intimate relationship"

"She wouldn't" I whisper to myself

Oh shit, I quickly get down to my car and drive to the Hudson's house. When I arrive, I park but don't see her. I decide to wait in my car then a few minutes later, security cars pull up, "Shit" I whisper

I carefully get out of my car and sneak into the house and find Nancy. I grab her arm, "Skylar what the hell?" She whispers

"Shhh, security company" I whisper

"Yeah I know" She whispers back

We see flashlights and she flips us over against the wall, our faces are inches apart. My eyes go down to her lips and hers do the same. The guards walk away and she starts to go but I grab her, "This way" I say

We go out the back door and run through the back yard, "Down here" I say

We make it back to my car, "I didn't take you for such a badass" I say

I glance at her, "You think that guy killed his wife and you break into his house?" I ask

"Yeah to try and help our case. What were you doing there, following me?" She asks

"One I did not follow you. Two I thought back to what you said earlier and thought you might do something dangerous, which for the record, I was right" I glance at her, "So you know what you're welcome" I say

She stays silent, "I put myself at risk going in there" I say looking forward

"Why?" She asks

I look at her, "Because it was worth it" I say

We stare into each others eyes for a few minutes before I start the car and drive her back to her house. I put the car in park and we sit there in silence, "Look I'm sorry for what I said" She says

"It's fine I'm just glad I was there" I say

"Are you going to tell me the real reason the glass broke earlier?" She asks
