A terrible headache told Rufi she still lived, for the first time in light years she moved her hands, her environment seem different. Where is she?
How did she get here?
She tried saying something but ended up talking gibberish. Someone said something that was blurred out by the noise in her head.
That voice is familiar, she thought.
The conversation around her was difficult to follow something ….. Someone ….. Somewhere….???
Someone was saying something about a large dose of something being put in someone’s system by somebody who was somewhere doing something. Crazy!
She fell back asleep.

It never crossed Callie’s mind that she could cry at the news of her mother’s death but she did.
Not that she’ll miss her but she did not expect her to die.
It’s been three days and her body was still out there somewhere in the waters. Rufi had also being in the ICU for three days still unconscious.
Husband and wife side by side suffering from injury inflicted by the same people.
The doctor said it would take a week for the toxin to be totally flushed out after which they would know if it damaged any of her organs. Callie prayed not.
She wanted her family together safe and healthy. Christen would arrive in twenty hours and would be with her for two weeks. Something to look forward to. She wouldn’t be able to thank God enough for giving her a jewel for a husband, he understood how she felt, when Ivan was shot and told her to stay behind while he returned, she couldn’t wish for a better husband Christen Anchor is the best.
Diana had been throwing tantrums in the cell since she woke up, she’d demanded to be taken away from mad house she’d been thrown in. she also demanded for bail and since Teresa had gone MIA and her father AWOL she was alone against the world.
To add salt to her wound her inmate had ripped off almost half of her hair trying to unravel the reason behind the color. They wouldn’t mind getting her blind too since her eyes were
Callie took pity on her and asked for her to be moved into another cell where she would be alone.
Since Mr. Lopez had disappeared Callie got Diana an attorney only to be told she had one.
She tried! Callie crashed into the couch as the news reported the latest development on Jackson Grey.

“get down! Noah yelled seconds before a bullet smashed the louvers behind one of his men.
Another shot shattered the ones behind him.
He left the front door open so he sneaked out.
The cool evening air soothed his skin in contrast to the hot smoke filled air of the apartment. He leaned against the wall making himself as invisible as possible at the same time searching the woods.
He took aim, shot and stood cover just in time as two bullets missed him.
He moved to a better view point that provided shield and shot two others.
One of his men had fallen he saw peripherally.
Please be alive.
There were already more than a dozen bodies on the ground. His men and Grey’s
The last man went down.
Noah let out a sigh as he counted. 27 in all among which were four of his men.
Convoy of ambulance arrived and paramedics set to work.
So far only one man had died. 26 still breathing. After the place was cleared the men continued their search. Four men stood guard while the remaining three (Noah included) went in to search.
The place was filled with garbage. Nothing important, not even the acclaimed photo album.
“Did you find anything” he asked after the second search
“Nothing sir”
Noah cursed. This was strange. The album had to be somewhere. All they had were ruminant drugs and empty vodka bottles.
Noah stamped his foot in frustration. It vibrated
What?
He moved back a fraction and saw he was standing on a passage, “here guys” he called triumphantly.
The passage opened to reveal what looked like an attic one of his men stood behind while he went down with another.
Down the stairs Noah saw an array of torn panties Grey had no doubt collected from his victims. He also saw the most sorted after album on the floor.
He picked it up and opened randomly to see the face he last thought of seeing.
Rufina Rose Brown
“I’ll be damned” he muttered in shock
He flipped backward and almost fainted.
“Sir? Are you ok?”
Yvonne.
Grey had raped his sister.
