~(At the press conference)~
“Another question, detective stones
Another journalist said using the microphone.
Det stones sighs.
“Gosh…
This is getting unbearable”
He muttered silently.
“Go on..
He managed to put a smile on his face.
“Is it true that the blacked masked assassin escaped from your department after she was arrested and no cop was able to stop her?”
The journalist asked leaving Det stones speechless. He doesn’t know what to say”
Det stones sighs and look at everyone.. the anticipating journalist.
“Yes it’s true…
Det stones said.
Everyone gasped and murmurs began to filled the whole room.
“🔶What insolent…
Who is she?”
Det stones look down… He couldn’t look up at everyone.
“And what’s the California police going to do about that? ”
Another journalist asked.
“We are going to get her arrested at all cost
I promise you all that”
Det stones said and left the stage. Cameras flashes on his eyes.
He walked out of the conference room.
🔶🔶🔶
He got out and a cop walked to him.
“Detective, Liam Payne and Olivia’s funeral is in few hours
Are we attending the funeral? ”
“Yeah…
He contribute well to the city’s wealth. The Mayor of California will also make an attendance.
So we have to be there”
Det stones replied.
“Alright.. Detective”
He walks away.
Det stones sighs and put a call to Maddie. He quickly walked to a restroom.
“Hey, Maddie…
He said.
“Detective”
Maddie replied over the phone.
“Why do you call?
“I think we have a problem”
Det stones said.
“And what’s that?”
“Everyone wants you arrested at all cost. And they also want to know who you are”
“And what’s should I do about that?
That’s your Job, what’s my business with that?”
“Maddie please stop the joke…
I know who you are”
Maddie chuckles.
“So are you saying you are handing me over to the law?”
You are going to get me arrested”?
“Yeah….
I guess the deal we have is not going to work out between you and I and maybe you should just spare Robert suntherland life”
“How dare you tell me what to do?
Maddie shouted at him over the phone.
“Am sorry Maddie…
But I think this is the end for you.. am preparing your arrest soon”
He replied.
“If you do, am leaking out all your atrocities to the world also…
If I go down, we go down together”
Maddie said.
“I don’t care…
All I care now is the affairs of fhe people and I might be remembered for being the detective who captured the black masked assassin”
Detective stones replied and ended the call.
“Hey. Don’t you dare ….
He ended the call interrupting her.
Detective stones sighs and look around the restroom thinking of Olivia and Liam.
“I guess it’s finally over”
He muttered.
A knock came on the door.
“Detective…
A cop said.
“The car is waiting”
“Oh…
Alright, I will be out soon”
He replied and breathe out before walking out of the restroom.

(Maddie’s resident)
“An going to be arrested soon”
Maddie broke the sad news to dylan.
“What?
How? Who told you that?
“Detective stones”
She replied.
Dylan wondered.
“I had thought you had him on your palm.. I thought you knew his weakness and we can use him for our revenge plan”
“Yeah…
But he seems ready to face the consequences of his actions if I leak out his atrocities”
I had already planned to use him when am having my revenge on Robert”
“You still want Robert dead?
I thought we already talked about this .. let him live”
“I can’t…
He is part of the whole revenge plan afterall, I can’t just let him be ”
Dylan sighs and folded his arms.
“Which one is more important?
The cops will be here soon to get you arrested and we can escape before they comes…
Or you still want your revenge on Robert”
“Both…
Maddie replied.
“Look, Robert is changed now
Infact, he doesn’t even know it was your sister. He has pleaded with you, cried and begged for your forgiveness just to show how sorry he was
What more of else do you want?”
Dylan said and sat Maddie down on the couch.
“I don’t know.. I just felt he is going to come back to who he is soon.
The notorious gangleader of California”
And he is only pretending he is changed, I know that”
Beside, seeing him around will bring back memories of my sister which I will like to forget and move on”
“He is not pretending… I know he is changed.
What about Andrew Williams? Ever since he met Rose, he also changed.
And about seeing him around…. We can leave Los Angeles and go to Boston or Beverly hills”
We can start a new life”
Maddie felt sad and sorry.
“It’s okay…
You’ve done enough for me already”
“Yeah…
Dylan hugged her.
“That’s why am coming with you”
“What?
Maddie wondered.
“Yeah…
We are both getting arrested. Remember, we are both in this together right?”
Maddie looked at his face.
“No, no…
We can’t do that, you are staying behind.
Who will I wait for at the entrance of the prison gate after am being released?.
You are the only new family I have now”
“But Maddie…
Do you know what we’ve done? All this can land us in Life imprisonment at minimum”
“Then we can’t both be arrested…
That will be a loss for us, Stay behind please, California only wants the arrest of the masked assassin and know who is behind the mask”
And that’s me”
Dylan did a long sigh..

They all walked to the two graves 🪦 that was digged at a corner of the cemetery.
“May the lord bless their soul in the name of the father, son and the holy spirit.
