"The investigation is not going anywhere" George sighed as he entered the code for his apartment.

As the door unlocked, George paved way for Lara to enter his apartment first, before entering and locking the door.

"George, are you back?" A voice echoed through the apartment. It came from the kitchen.

Lara's body went cold. She just acts like his wife.

"I'm making salad George, why don't you just go take a shower to feel relaxed, then come taste"

"That sounds great.....Lara you can take a seat, I'll be right back" George took short stridesto his room.

Lara sighed and looked at the direction of the kitchen with sad eyes. On an impulse, she stood up and she walked slowly to the kitchen. She stood still when Sam came to view.

She was wearing a singlet and a very short jean shorts. She looked amazing with her hair tied up in a bun.
She's just trying too hard isn't she.

Sam suddenly turned around.
"Oh you're here....What are you doing here?"

Lara shot a straight look.
"I'm here for work"

"For work? That's some silly excuse to want to get in bed with him" Sam smiled as she neared Lara and she touched her cheek lightly "Don't you think"

"I know what you're trying to do Sam, using your husband death as an excuse to become his wife here"

"Become his wife? Ohh please, not to only become his wife, I'm having him all to myself" Sam smiled brightly.

"What's going on there" George voice echoed from the door of the kitchen.

"Oh nothing, just women talk" Sam smiled brightly. "Why don't you two sit down, I will bring the food soon"

"Nah, I'll pass...I was just about leaving" Lara

"You sure about that?" George raised an eyebrow.

"Ehm I'm very tired so I need to like....ehm rest a little" Lara stuttered.

"I agree with her on that, I mean just look at her tired pretty face.... " She faced Lara "just go home Lara and sleep your tiredness off"

"Oh...before I forget, Lara check every camera on route to the Mayor's office, every last one of them" George grabbed Lara's hand and led her out of the kitchen to the dining room.

"Ok sir, will do that" Lara answered formally.

George led her to the sitting room. "Ok Lara, see you tomorrow then" George opened the door for her.

"Ok sir" George slammed the door shut as Lara left.

Sam picked up her ringing phone on the bedside table and she sat up from her initial sleeping position then she slid the green call icon on the screen.

"Hello"

"Anything new?"

"No, they are kinda busy with the Mayor's case now, I heard when the detective told his subordinate to check some cameras"

"Not a thing about the......eh......diamonds?"

"No not a.......shhh" Sam stopped talking suddenly looking at the door. "I think i heard something"

Sam reached under the bed where she kept her gun determined that if that sound was even George, she was going to shoot.

She held the gun with her right hand pointing directly to the door while tiptoeing quietly, she gently used her left hand to turn the door handle and she pushed it down gently. After she opened she pointed the gun to both sides of the lobby.
