Their Perspectives

Chapter 6 - I Failed You

Alex Knight's POV

"I will call you back after speaking with the director. Is it okay?" Daniella asked.

"Sure." I replied as I ended the call.

I had discussed about the case with Mr. Jayden Alford. He had agreed with my idea and had told me that I should accompany Daniella in this case which will help me gain experience in solving murder cases.

His secretary had provided me with the contact number of Daniella Williams. He had also informed me that Daniella was currently on a vacation after completing a mission in Spain but vacation can come later.

Before I had called Daniella, there was another death in our city.

A woman of 23 years old, Stacey Williams had been found dead.

"Williams. As in Daniella Williams? But there are many with the surname Williams." I had thought.

I was yet to investigate that murder. I was waiting for Daniella to arrive. I decided to take a short nap before she comes because I was working on Tyler's case till late night.

I sat on the couch of my living room and slowly adjusted myself in a comfortable position. Soon sleep took over me as I welcomed darkness.

A ringing of my phone woke me up. I took my phone and saw that it was currently 2:45 in the afternoon.

"Daniella must have arrived already." I thought to myself.

I quickly went to the restroom and dressed in a white tee with blue ripped denim jeans. I put my gun on the waistband and wore my black shoes.

I quickly drove to the agency.

As I went towards the conference room to discuss the case with Daniella, there were people talking in hushed tones.

"Did you hear that she is here?"

"In Amber City? Oh my god!"

"But she is so rude. She just barely acknowledged my presence. Even Alex is better than that. He is so good looking but he at least knows who we are."

"Yeah. This Daniella has got a lot of ego in her. When I went to greet her, she just asked who I was. Seriously? I worked on a case with her."

"She is not here to socialize with us. She has reached the top not by chatting. As an agent we should know better than judging a book by it's cover. Now stop your gossips before someone hears you people."

People never failed to gossip. Now I can't help but think if the Daniella girl was really like that.

I went into the conference room and saw a figure already there.
Great. I was late.

As if sensing my appearance, the woman turned to greet me.

She was indeed beautiful.

She was tall, about 5 feet 8 inches contrary to my 6 feet. She had caramel hair which were tied in a bun. She was dressed in a white t-shirt, black jeans and a black denim jacket. She had those light grey eyes.

"If I am correct, you must be Mr. Alex Knight." I was broken out of my thoughts as I heard Daniella say.

"Alex can do since we are going to be partners."

"I would prefer formality Mr. Knight. I recommend not to waste time on what to call you and what not. I have to speak to Mr. Alford after seeing the details of the case so let's make it quick Mr. Knight."

This shows why no one wants to talk nicely about her.

"Sure. Wait for a moment as I bring the files on the case. And you may call me Mr. Knight but I find it better to address you informally." I told her as I walked towards my cabin.
