"Shit! Adriana!" Clinton shouted.
"What is it. Oh, she's awake."
"Adriana... I think Stella has lost her memory."
"What!" Adriana's eyes widened as she walked closer to Stella.
"Stella!" Adriana called.
"Who's Stella?" She asked.
"Excuse us." Clinton grabbed Adriana's hand and dragged her to a corner. "Adriana, this is a good turnout. Since she has lost her memory, we can use it to our advantage. She doesn't remember Reagan so if she sees him, she won't want to go with him. We can tell her I'm her husband and Reagan is your husband. That way, we both get what we want. You'll have Reagan to yourself and I'll have Stella back." Clinton suggested but Adriana wasn't buying that.
"You think even though she has lost her memory, Reagan won't still take her away? And there's no way you are going to have Stella back because don't forget she has a child and Reagan won't let you go freely. It's better we kill her tonight."
"No Adriana, I won't let you do that. I've been waiting for Stella for more than 3 years, there's no way I'll let you kill her now that I have a chance with her." Clinton refused.
Adriana's eyes turned cold. "Have you forgotten about the deal we made? We already had an agreement, you are going against it just because of a woman who doesn't even remember you. Clinton, if you don't want to do this then you can go. I'll handle it myself." Adriana said then walked out.

Reagan's eyes scanned the empty road as he drove through it. Blake held a small tab on his hand. He was watching the routes they were taking and also getting information from the other search team.
"Boss, the hackers gave us another clue." Blake spoke up.
"What's the clue?" Reagan asked, his voice slightly hoarse. He hadn't seen Stella for more than 30 minutes, he was about to go crazy.
"A van was seen going Eastward some minutes ago. The top of the van looks exactly like the one they saw around Brighton's cooperation building at the time of the event."
"We'll go Eastward then. Contact the search team and tell them to check the other places." Reagan ordered. His grip on the steering was strong, too strong.
Blake noticed the veins on his hands and his forehead. He could only wish that nothing bad happens to Stella, if not, the city might be on fire the next day.
The black car drove Eastward. Blending in with the pitch black color of the sky. The night was quite and the atmosphere was cool. It was calm and relaxing, but not for Reagan.
He hated this feeling of emptiness he felt in his heart. He couldn't wait any longer! He couldn't wait to hold her in his arms and kiss the life out of her.
As they drove Eastward, Reagan noticed the place was mostly covered in bushes, trees and uncompleted buildings. How was he going to find her in such a place? It was like finding a needle in a stack of hay.
They drove pass some uncompleted buildings. Most of them had been abandoned and plants had started growing around them. What a good place to hide people.
Reagan parked the car beside the road. "Ask the hackers if they have found another clue. If they have not, contact the commander and have him deploy some units to search these buildings. She might be in any of them." He turned his gaze to the window. His eyes stared at the twinkling stars in the sky.
Blake nodded and got to work as fast as possible. There was no slacking off in a case like this. He contacted the hackers but didn't get the news he wanted to hear.
