Dusk Till Dawn (A Liam and Ally Story)

Chapter 86

I head down the stairs, tired and exhausted. I don't know why, but I keep getting these sickness in the mornings. It's not the best thing to wake up to.

I sit down in the dining room in front of Kris, who looks a lot better now than last night. Nicola greets me with a smile. "Hey,"

"Good morning," I reply back with a smile. I turn to Kris and ask, "How are you feeling?"

"Much better," he replies. "I have no idea why I was growing a fever. Maybe I've been out too much."

"Possibly," I reply.

"Oh my gosh!" Nicola shouts, looking at her phone. She looks up at Kris and explains, "Someone came in last night at P-Jewels and stole some money. They took over five hundred thousand dollar."

I sat still, shook. I look at Nicola and Kris, and they look utterly upset.

Last night was a doozy. I enter the building and came into the vault, but as I approach it, I saw a body lying on the floor. It didn't take me long before I realized someone got knocked out. I looked at the person standing on the floor and saw Betty. I wondered why she was there but continue my task. With Kris' card, I manage to steal some, and I guess that turned out to be five hundred thousand.

"Harry is sending me the security footages," Nicola states. "You can download them on the flash drive."

"Will do," he nods his head before taking a spoonful of cereal into his mouth.

During the entire breakfast, I stayed put and ate slowly. My stomach wasn't starving that much. Instead, my stomach fell queasy, killing my need for food.

Ring! Ring!

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I excuse myself and walk into a private corner. I get out my phone and see a phone number I can still recognize still today. I pick up the phone and greet him, "Hi, Troy," I said coldly.

"Hi, Ally. What's the matter? You seem a little down," he replies.

I shake my head. "What do you want? And how did you get my new number?"

"Like I said, I have friends who knows how to deliver. Now, listen very closely, I will be waiting near P-Jewels for you at noon in the parking lot underground. Bring me my money there."

"And then after this, you will leave me and my love ones alone?"

"Yes, you can have my word on that,"

I hang up the phone and shake my head. It's almost over, Ally. It's almost over. After this, everything will be restore to how it used to be.

I turn back into the dining room and watch Kris smiling. How he has the same crinkles by his eyes. I walk over to the room and sit down on my previous spot.

"Ally," Kris begins. I shift my eyes on him and gently smile. "Would you mind going over the footage with me?"

"No, not at all," I answer with confidence, hiding my nervousness away.

Many hours pass by. Kris and I gather in his work study room. He places the laptop on the table and plugs in the flash drive. He pulls up the link to the footage. I stand beside him, anxious, but I pace myself.

He selects all of the videos and pulls them into the flash drive as the footage loads. Kris takes a step back. "Ally, I need you to stay here and watch. I will be back."

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"I am expecting a call very soon," he answers.

I nod my head and turn to the screen as he exits the room. I sit on the empty chair and observe the screen. The footage was loading slowly.
