George's pov
"You know what........he's in the investigation room right..... I'll go" She said as she left my office. She looked angry.
As she exited through the door I banged my table very hard. Why was I angry! I asked myself.
"What's wrong with not answering one's cell phone that I lost it" I held my head with both hands.
Just then my phone rang, I checked the screen. Uncle
I sighed, I've not spoken with him since I came to Texas.
"Hey Uncle, what's up""I'm just calling a nephew because he refused to call me since three weeks he came to Texas"
"Tim I'm sorry I couldn't call you, I was very busy here, how is Helen......" I said apologetically.
"Hmmm I'm very busy now, I have to be in the interrogation room right now" I finally said.
"Okay then but make sure you call when you get home and Helen is fine" He severed the phone.
Uncle Tim had immediately took me in after my family was murdered brutally. He made sure I went to school even though I told him I didn't want to then.
Then suddenly the question came to my mind again. Who killed my family and why?
Not able to provide an answer to my own question, I sighed as I picked up my phone and I headed to the interrogation room.
Both Lara and Chris were already seated when I got there.
The recording started.
"Since you just pressed the recording device....I'm starting"
"This guy is smart.....I give it to him" I said to Detective Dray and Detective Zack.
They just nodded. It seemed they were afraid of me. Well they should.
Lara started asking the questions. Since she was recording we could hear everything they were saying.
He killed his brother because of a safe in his house, since he couldn't get the location of the safe and with Mr Fleetwood dead, tgey would likely break into his house and.......OH NO MRS FLEETWOOD....I need to know if she knows about the safe or not.
My head snapped up at a Chris statement.
"They will be coming.....""Who" Lara asked him.
He just smiled and he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. I saw the tatoo and I lost it immediately.
It was the tatoo that had tormented me for the last ten years.
I immediately rushed and I opened the door with so much force that I couldn't believe I could muster.
I rushed at Chris, I punched his face and he fell on the floor.
I didn't stop there as I sat on him and started raiding him, punch after punch
"I'm gonna kill you.....you son of a b*tch""Sir, sir please it's against the rules" Detective Dray tried to drag me away from him.
I freed myself and I gave Chris another punch. His mouth was full of blood now.
Detective Zack joined Dray in dragging me off Chris. They succeeded because I couldn't overpower them now.
"Hey George get a grip, you can't hit someone in here" Lara shouted to my face.
The Detectives left me after struggling with them for a while. I held my head with both hands. I felt like crying but I had to hold it in.
"Hey Detective, you wouldn't just hit me without any reason, would you" He blurted out.
I didn't respond as I thought, I can't take chances of them knowing my identity, that I still exist. Since he said he was going to be broken out by his gang, then I'll let him escape.
"He goes to Iron heights this afternoon" I finally announce. I turned to leave the room.
I'll use this opportunity to know the spies present in this station.
I remembered something. I turned to Zack and Dray "Hey you two,get Mrs Fleetwood here before we transfer this guy" I said pointing to Chris.

Lara's pov
"So do you know the location of the safe" George asked Mrs Fleetwood *since I don't know her name yet.
"No my husband didn't tell me about any safe" She replied sobbing.
"You are in danger Sam" George said in a whisper.
So her name is Sam? I stole a glance at her. Well she's gorgeous, I'll admit that. Suddenly I became afraid. She looked like someone I should be wary of
"How?" Her soft voice sounded.
"Well since the gang can't get the location of the safe and your husband is dead, they will likely come for someone very close to him and that's you" George said slowly and carefully.
Sam looked at her shoes. She looked afraid
"So what will I do""You'll stay at my apartment until we find the safe ourselves, you will help.us in searching for the safe since it's your house"
"Noooooooo" I blurted out unknowingly. Everybody present in George's office were looking at me, it's obvious they were waiting for an explanation.
I searched my head for words hoping I won't embarrass myself.
"Em...since she's a lady, she can stay with me, my apartment is big and accomodating you know"
"No I'll stay with him. He said we need to work together to find the safe and his place would be much more safe" She answered me.
"She's right Lara" George said nodding his head in affirmative to what Sam said.
I glance over to see Sam staring at me smirking, then she winked at me. Ahhh I guessed right, I need to be wary of her now.
"Look she only wants to get closer to you and I can't let that" was what I wanted to say,
"Okay then" I ended up saying.
"Then I'll go pack my stuffs at home then" Sam said standing up from her seat and walking away from the meeting.
"Be quick, okay" George said facing her.
"Okay" Sam replied without looking back.
I let out a deep sigh as I stood from my seat. I may lose him to this b*tch...... But I don't want to. I walked out of George's office
