FALLEN

Chapter Five.

John.

Why the hell did I say everything was normal when it wasn't at all, how was she even expecting everything to be the same, couldn't she feel and see the change between us.

For Godsake, is she so daft or is she torturing me purposely? This were the thoughts and many others that went through my head as I drove to the office, as I remembered the letter I promised myself I will catch the person who was behind all this drama.

"Hey, Danny about that letter I gave you, anything that could lead me to who wrote it?" I asked Danny the lab technician when I entered the office.

"No sir, it looks as if she was wearing gloves," Danny replied coming to my direction.

"She?" I asked surprised.

"I'm sorry, but it's just my gut, I don't have proof it's a female I just have this instinct that it's a woman, especially how the letter was written, it's only a woman I can picture writing it," Danny said looking at me.

I didn't know what to say because I was confused, seeing the look on my face, he just smiled and said "well, it's just a got feeling, nothing else," he said shrugging and going back to his lab.

"Hey Vaughn," I said sitting in my office which was beside detective Vaughn Rodrick's own.

"Any luck on the case?" Vaughn asked obviously tired.

"Which one, Liza or the other one?" I asked up opening my laptop.

"Liza, huh! Not more miss Owen. Now I understand," he said chuckling.

"Come on! Don't start thinking rubbish in that old head of yours, nothing is going on between us," I said snickering.

"Well, not yet but it's on the air, I can feel it and you can too, so don't pretend," he said laughing as his screaming silver blue eyes shone with mischief.

"Your crazy," I said laughing.

"Oh! Before I forget I told officer Henry to step down, your going to continue your checkup routine at miss Owen's house. I know you don't think she's safe with anyone else except you," he said laughing out loud.

"You're joking, right? I can't continue Vaughn," I said shocked.

"Of course, you can and you will,"   he said chuckling. "Can't you tell me thank you?" He asked smiling.

"Your crazy,bro," I said smiling as I walked out of the office.

Roaring with laughter, Vaughn replied"whatever."

****

Liza.

When I woke up, my head was throbbing profusely and I felt seriously dizzy. I tried bringing my left foot down from the bed and succeeded then I tried with my right foot but it was adamant, it wasn't listening to my command and immediately, my left foot went back to the bed.

I suddenly realized I had gotten the flu today was going round and I felt dismayed because I had planned to finish chapter twenty two and enter twenty three but with this flu I couldn't achieve the goal.

I reached to my bedside table, picked up my phone and tried calling Isabel (it had been long I saw her and I missed her) and it was answered by a male's voice.

"Hello, who is this?" There voice asked.

"Hi, I'm Liza, please can I speak with Isabel?"I asked guessing the voice belonged to Fred's.

"Emm..... Right now Bel is down with the flu. You can speak with her but you mightn't get much from her except sneeze and cough. Let me give her the phone. Bel, Liza wants to speak with you, be a good girl and try not to sneeze and cough much," Fred said handing the phone to Isabel.

"Hi, Liza, guessed you've met Fred?" Isabel asked while sneezing continuously.

"Yep! But whats with the Bel stuff?" I asked.

Laughing,"it's his pet name for me, nice right?" she asked.

"Yes, it is. I heard you've gotten the flu, well welcome to the club," I said smiling.

"You also have it? Gosh! It's terrible, I can't even move and I have a terrible fever,"she said coughing.

"Yes, I have it. That was the reason I called, I thought you could come over and nurse me but I see your the one who needs nursing and who's getting it," I said sneezing into my pillow.

"And the girls aren't around to come over and nurse you. I thought detective John Travis comes for checkup...?" She asked leaving the question hanging.

"Not anymore, it's now a new officer who comes," I replied sadly.

"Why?.... Here take some tea... thanks dear...ehh Liza, why doesn't he come again, did you get into a fight or someone?" She asked sipping the tea Fred brought for her.

"Nothing, of that sort. He just decided not to come again maybe he got tired of me, you know we don't really agree on the same things."

"Oh, that's bad. Later, Fred thinks I have talked too much already and he says I need to reserve my strength for later."

"No problem, I will also take his above. Bye Bel," I said laughing.

"Bye,"she replied laughing and hanging up.

Immediately, I heard the door bell ring.
