Olivia was sweating profusely. Her body system was still weak because she just survived a coma. She managed to run and find Liam before she passed out.
“Are you awake already?”
When did it happened? Doctor naresh could not give me a call?
Liam asked and his phone rang on the table where he sat.
Det stones went to take a look.
“It’s doctor naresh calling”
“I have no time to talk about that… I have few minutes left before I pass out.
I wanted to tell you Jerry is not the man who we think he is.
Jerry is the same person as….
She couldn’t complete her statement. She fell the ground immediately, with all her body system already weak.
Liam quickly wanted to grab her but wasn’t fast enough as Olivia got to the ground hitting her head in the process.
“Oh f*uck”
Liam muttered angrily and carried Olivia’s body from the ground.
“Call doctor naresh on the phone for me…
We are heading to the hospital”
He shouted at Det stones.
Det stones quickly pick the phone on the table.
πΆπΆπΆπΆ
Liam Payne walk around the pavement near a room ward worried. Det stones stares at him.
“Are you sure Jerry shouldn’t be investigated?
Det stones asked.
“Investigated for what?
Did he did something wrong? Olivia only said he is not the man we think he is”
“I dont like that bodyguard of yours since day one..
Jerry might be up to something”
“Don’t rush into concluding things, det stones
Let Olivia wake up and tell us what had happened”
Liam replied.
Doctor naresh walked out of the room where Olivia was admitted.
Liam and det stones walked to him.
“How is she feeling now?
“She is okay… Her body system was weak”
When is she going to wake up? We dont know”
She is fast asleep”
Doctor naresh replied.
Liam Payne sighs sadly.
“The two nurses that allows Olivia to leave the hospital before her discharge date have been sanctioned.
Their license has also been seized”
Doctor naresh added.
“Wait, so you mean Olivia was okay when she woke up?”
Liam asked.
“Yes…
She was fine until she left the hospital and ran over to your place”
“Alright…
Thank you, doctor”
Liam Payne said and rushed out. Det stones was surprised why he did that but he followed him.
“Thanks doc”
Det stones said before running after Liam Payne.
πΆπΆ
Liam rushed into the car as Det stones also stepped in. He drove out of the hospital immediately into the street road.
“What’s going on?”
Det stones asked.
Liam Payne breathe out as he drives on the road.
“Why do you think Olivia wanted to see me as soon she woke up from coma?”
“And that’s because of Jerry…
She knows a secret about Jerry, I guess”
Det stones replied.
“Yeah…
And that secret is what we are not sure of”
So maybe Jerry did something while I was in police’s custody”
“And what’s that?”
Det stones asked.
“The file asset transfer”
He said and increase the speed of the car.
“What file asset transfer?”
Det stones was confused.
“The file that has all asset of Robert suntherland… He created the file in case of emergency situation in the future and also a fake one which no one knows about except him.
When we hold Dylan’s custody, Dylan offered to give in the asset file transfer in exchange for his release but unknowingly, Dylan has his own plan…
He offered us the fake one which we find out later before giving us the real file.
He told me something I can’t tell you now.
I decided to play along after that”
Det stones was stunned.
“Wow…
This is a lot to take in
Dylan betrayed Robert suntherland even after his death”
“Yeah kind of…
Liam replied and drove into his company.
He stepped out of the car and rushed into the building.
Det stone also followed him.

Liam barge into his office and walk to a picture frame on the wall.
He removed it from the wall and placed it down gently.
“What’s in there?
Det stones asked staring at the safe box attached on the wall.
“This is where I keep important docvment and files”
He replied and breathe in trying to unlock the safe using his passcode.
In no minute, the safe came wide opened.. Liam quickly checked.
The safe was empty.
Liam was surprised.”it’s gone”
“What’s gone?
Det stones asked.
“The file asset transfer” The real one..
“Omg, it’s missing?”
“Yeah…
Jerry took it, I guess”
Liam said.
πΆ FlashbackπΆ
“Who are you?”
Robert asked.
“I am your doom”
I came to end you”
He replied and pointed the gun at Robert about to shoot him.
“No wait, wait..
I can’t die now”
Robert pleaded. The masked assassin wasted no time.
He shot him in the chest..
Robert drop down to the ground.
He kept his gun back in his pocket and took the asset transfer file from Robert’s hands as his body lie on the ground.

(Back at Liam’s office, present)
“Are you sure about this?”
Det stones asked.
“Yeah…
Liam said and close back the safe box. He put back the frame on the wall.
“Jerry might not who we think he is…
Det stones said.
*Now…
You are getting smarter”
Liam replied…
“Do you know who is he?”
“Yeah…
Liam said and suddenly someone barged into his office.
And there he is, the black masked assassin. He brought out his gun and pointed it at liam.
“Good to see you, again… Liam Payne”
He said in a distorted voice.
“What do you want this time around?”
Liam asked without any fear.
Det stones was already ready to bring out his gun.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t think of doing that..
Drop your gun to the ground now”
The assassin said facing det stones.
“It seems you all missed me”
He said and laughed weirdly. Det stones removed his gun from his pocket and dropped it from the ground.
“Do you have the file asset transfer?”
Liam asked suspecting the black masked assassin could be Jerry.
“Oh you mean this?”
He said and brought out the file from his back pocket.
Liam scoffs.
“I know who you are…
Det stones looked at Liam and back at the black masked assassin.
“Oh really?
You do? Who am I then?”
He asked and put the file back into his pocket.
“Jerry…
You can take off your mask now”
We all know you are Jerry Robinson”
Liam said.
The masked assassin burst into laughter.
“You are really dumb, Liam Payne… For you to think am Jerry Robinson”
“I just came to pay you a visit”
You seems relaxed ever since you were released from CPD.
“What do you really want?
Det stones said.
“Stay out of this, det stones”
He warned sternly and face Liam.
“You and Olivia needs to face death.. And now that Olivia escaped death at first, she is going to die again”
I won’t stop till you both dies”
Liam thought for a while.
“How did you know Olivia is out of coma?”
“I have my ways”
The assassin replied.
“Only doctor naresh and the two nurses were aware about this apart from det stones and I”
Liam said looking at the assassin suspiciously.
“Who are you?”
He began to move slowly to him..
“Don’t come an inch closer..
The assassin warned. Det stones cowardly move back to avoid being shot by him.
“And what if I do…?
Liam said bravely still moving closer to him. The assassin quickly shot him in the leg but Liam still managed to walk and pounce on him, throwing the masked assassin to the ground.
The gun fell off from the assassin’s hand and roll over some feets away from them.
Liam’s leg was already bleeding. He gathered strength in him and tried to remove his massk to see who he was.
The masked assassin brought out a pocket knife and slash Liam in the hand.
Liam screamed holding his bleeding hand. He get his hand off from him and the blacked assassin stood up, run after his pistol a feet away from him.
Det stones quickly grab his gun also but was too late, the assassin already ran out. Det stone shot at the office door and unfortunately he missed his target.
Liam hit his other uninjured arm angrily on the ground.
“F*ck”
“We had the chance to get him”
“Don’t worry, Liam… We will eventually catch him one day”
Det stones said.

~(Maryland’s hospital)~
“Am very sure, Andrew…
She saw the tattoos”
Robert said getting worried.
Andrew and Doctor naresh both looked at his serious face.
“Is that the reason she wanted to get discharged quickly and ran out of the hospital to inform liam about what she saw?”
Doctor naresh asked.
“Wait…
When did that happened?”
Robert asked.
“Some hours ago…
She passed out and was brought back to the hospital”
He replied.
“You mean Olivia came back alive and left the hospital immediately”
Andrew asked.
“Yes…
What if she already told Liam she saw Robert’s tattoos on Jerry?”
“Am not sure about that…
I don’t think she does, Olivia was brought here by Liam and det stones.
And it doesn’t look like he knows about it already”
Doctor naresh replied.
“FuΓ§k, another trouble…
Robert said sadly.
“Kate and Ben already warned you about those tattoos”
Doctor naresh said.
“You and I both know I can’t get it removed,it increase the risk of me getting a skin cancer”
Am still young and I don’t want to die untimely”
Robert replied childishly.
“So Olivia holds your secrets now?
Andrew said.
“Yeah…
Olivia must not wake up”
Robert replied and look at Doctor naresh and Andrew.
“No, no… I know that look”
We can’t do that”
Doctor naresh said.
“It’s against my profession”
“Please, doctor naresh…
She knows who I am”
“I can only delay her consciousness but I can’t have her killed”
Am a doctor, Robert”
“Maybe you should do that…
Andrew said.
“With that, we can have time to figure out something”
Doctor naresh nodded. Robert sighs.
TBC….
Det stones and Liam thought the masked assassin is Jerry ππ
But the assassin is a “She”
Should Olivia wake up?? π₯² And expose Robert?
