Avar
What is she doing here? I thought Matt has arrested her. I look at Max only to see that he's dead scared. She doesn't say anything; just sits on a chair near the bed, and smirk.
What? I look at her. Waiting for her to say something, but it seems like she's waiting for me to talk also. That woman shoot me in my place! I still wonder how is she here instead of jail!
Max gets up from his chair causing it to fall on the floor to attempt on leaving the room. The sound of the chair hitting the floor pull me back into reality.
"Outside of here you have no protection; however, even here you don't have any," she informed Max.
As much as I hate it she is right. I can't protect Max at the moment. Right now all I had to do is to recover. "Also it's such a pity for you attempt to put your mother in the jail," she said to me. I turn my head to look at Max. He is in fear. God knows I am in fear! The difference? I am just good at hiding my emotions.
My mentor told me that cops need to stop their emotions more than anyone else because they can never trust anyone fully. With no trust, there would be no emotion. He was right.
"Aren't you going to say anything Avar?" She speaks again. I just look at her. "Why did you shoot me?" She said in a girlish way. "Oh come on say something, ask something. tell him what you are!" She said seriously.
So she doesn't know that Max knows about me being a cop. Wait, how does she knows that I am a cop!
I close my eyes because right now I really can't look at her. Not when I know her as a criminal who attempts on killing me, and not as my mother.
"Max knows everything, the question is how do you know?" I finally said while my eyes are still close.
"Google my dear, Google, and a lot of researching. You know getting out there. I knew you were cop when you born. You came in this life to put some gang people behind bars. I gave you up, so you won't grow up in a messed up world. I didn't know better. I couldn't let you have a life in darkness. I also couldn't run away. They were just too strong and had too many connections. They would get you in a heartbeat if I didn't let you be, and come to you earlier. Five years after I let you go I got pregnant again. It was Max, I wanted to give him up to but they took him before I could..." I cut her off from speaking more, "stop lying," I said opening my eyes.
"You have a good imagination, but don't you think for once I believe any word you tell me," I said coldly.
"I'm not lying they gave Max to a family, but I just left you outside of a church. I'm sorry," she said looking at me in the eyes. "I shot you because someone ordered me to, but I shouldn't have to do what I did. I will go to the police myself. Right now, I just wanted to tell you this," she added before she leaves the room. I don't say anything.

Jess POV
"Hey girl, I'm going to miss you, but this is the only way that I can protect you," I told my baby whom just born. She was such a cute little girl. I didn't know better. I didn't know what to do. All I did was to kiss her on the forehead before putting her tiny body in the small basket.
"You are my daughter, which is why I'm going to give you up. This is the hardest thing that I am ever doing," I said before I put a small note in the basket beside her. "You are going to hate me, you might not even know anything. Until I tell you," I said before I leave the basket on the ground beside the church.
