episode 3

THE PARK

 It is really lovely out here, the weather was not hot nor cold but balanced it showed that it will rain. It is a good weather to be outdoors. Girls and boys are running around playing and having fun. The birthday girl is dressed in a princess dress, having a lot of fun. Elizabeth arrived took of the helmet, placed it on top of the scooter seat and carried the boxes, placed the order on the table and went to the elder who was taking care of them ... they talked for a bit since she already paid for the order. Elizabeth looked at the kids running around which made her miss Anna, a lot ever since she left her in California they never got in touch.

The weather started to change, and it began to rain cats and dogs. Elizabeth was about to go but decided to help the lady by taking kids to safety which is the miller's building, luckily the security let them in because of the kids... Elizabeth and the lady managed to get kids to safety. Elizabeth was mesmerized by this amazing building, looking around...this place was give a wow is like she was in a movie or some sort of dream because is the first time seeing this building face to face … Her expression was like a little kid given a candy. She was really amazed by this place not aware that someone is watching her. She was going to tick this one in her basket list 'entering the miller's company '

It was Ethan watching from his office "I want you to get me information of this girl" William looked where Ethan was looking, he bowed and left the office. after 45 minutes he returned with a file

"Here is it boss" he handed him the file. Ethan took and faced William

"you should go and get ready for the mission I don't want any mistake I want a clean job okay... and don't forget you are in charge tonight" William nodded and left Ethan alone.

Ethan opened the file sitting down on this chair and smirked when he sees that it is the same Person from 5 years ago but different identity

"what do we have Here... ohh, so you are Elizabeth. I guess I have to introduce myself soon" he said in a dark dangerous voice he took out his cigar and started to smoke with a smirk on his face like he just found a missing puzzle.

 He stood up and looked at her again. Elizabeth was saying goodbye to the lady because the rain was not that heavy anymore, so she wanted to leave before the rain comes back, since she is living far from this place. She left the building and went to her scooter, she rode and left the place… Ethan also left the office following her. Making sure she doesn't notice.

 Elizabeth's POV

It was getting dark, and I was far from home. The rain came back while I was thinking nothing could go bad, the scooter just broke down in the middle of nowhere. I moved it away from the road and took my phone out of my pocket to call for help, but it was dead...what a bad day am I having.

 "great just what I needed "

I looked around for a shelter since the was no car passing around. I am really soaking wet I. started to look around to find a shelter just to escape the rain, and I saw one on the left side of the road a bit of distance from the road, so I began to run to it, when I got there, the building was really out of shape, and it was really dark making it hard to see.I started to wonder why is nothing going my way today.

The place smells dust…. Showing that is has been abandoned for many years. For a moment I felt this place was familiar, but why is it familiar ? It is clearly my first time here so why do I feel familiar, I brushed the thought away. I started to walk around, and I started to feel a chill down my spine... A feeling of fear, a feeling of another presence in here. I hoped no soul was hunting this place. I gathered all my courage and I reached out, shaking due to cold wet clothes and fear my finger brushed against something hard like a stone, or I assumed was stone. Not only that, but I no longer smelled the dust, but I started to smell a nice smell, actually a smell of expensive perfume mixed with smell of cigar. This smell felt a bit familiar but not sure where I smelled it. At this point I felt like my mind was playing silly tricks with me. At this point I don't want to lie am so scared that I could faint on the spot I took steps back. Wishing I could just disappear from this scary place.

 Ethan's pov

I smirked when I saw her face still looking innocent as ever after 5 years of searching for her, and the fear on her face makes me wanna torture her

 "we meet again Elizabeth or should I say" I leaned to her ear both hands in pockets, I bent a little to meet her height and whisper "Lina" I faced her as I saw her facial expression which I love to watch...she was surely scared ,and confused which made me feel happy to see her that terrified.

"Who...Who are You and what do You want?" She looked at me confused and scared on how I know her real name an...at this point she wanted to run before being abducted by a mysterious man.

"You don't get to ask questions here I do the asking, and your answers will be your ticket of survival" I sat down and face her with a serious look "Sit down Lina" She did what I said And she sat like an obedient dog and I liked that.

"Now Lina where is Matthew and tell me what u heard 5 years ago at Rizzoli club that night" I asked while lighting my cigar, she kept quite like she didn't hear me.

"Come on Lina don't waste my time speak" I blew the smoke and looked at her with my lazy blue eyes with no emotion on my face. She was quite for a minute, and she started to talk not meeting my gaze. I can tell she is really terrified.

"I don't know what your talking about and how do you even know my name? who are you anyway?" she said in a low voice and I started to get annoyed I stood up bang my fist on the wall next to me making it Crack which made her to flinch...I walked to where she was setting I raised her chin to look me in the eyes, our faces were inches away.

" am going to ask for the last time, where is Matthew, and why did you save him the other night ? if you don't know what am talking about. You better start talking if you don't want to end up like this wall" I let go of her chin and gave her space I inhaled the smoke and exhaled it to her face

This name Matthew sounded familiar to her ears as I saw she was looking down and thinking...after a minute she opened her mouth starting to relax

"ohh Matthew... you mean the Mafia guy. He was my top customer...and a loyal one you know he was generous... but you got the wrong idea cause all I did was to drive him to safety...no question asked. we never talked like having a friendly conversation, and I didn't work for him, I worked for myself... the last time I saw him was when he was offering me a job which I declined" Elizabeth replied in high voice now "and if u want me to work for you, you can ask someone because I no longer do that job any more" she continued in a calm tone.

"Stop with this game Lina where is..." I heard my phone ringing I answered it without looking who is calling "what" I answered in a sharp tone as I walked away from Lina.

"Boss the exchange was great but..." William went silent for a minute.

"You really like to waste time don't you" I said with anticipation"but what William "

"The truck of guns the once we got, got bombed on our way back we lost everything along with 4 men" William said in a low disappointed voice.

"I am on my way" I hung up and faced Lina "I will be back for you Missy" and after saying that I vanished like I was never there. Elizabeth was left stunned, shaking. She was not sure whether she was shaking cause of fear or the cold. Her clothes are dry at this time. She made sure to hit her identity very well so how did he find out and what happened 5 years ago that he assumed she knows. This whole thing felt like a long nightmare, and she just wants to wake up from it.
