$LÅZENGER

"who's this girl and where did she eat so much money to pay for Shawn's Tesla?", Hart asked his p. a James,

"arcording to my research, she's Tom Williams daughter"

"what, Tom has a daughter, I thought he never had a child and how come I'm just hearing of her"

"maybe he's trying to protect her from Andrew, you know he lost his wife, maybe she's all he has"

"that makes sense, (sighs) he even went into hiding, but what if Andrew gets her cuss she's no more secret"

" I don't know about that but I'm sure Tom won't just let his daughter walk about without security"

" yh, he can't just leave her like that, (sighs) Tom used to be a very good friend of mine until he lost his wife, he withdrew himself and I haven't heard from him since then, I can't wait for all this to be over. About Shawn, I think I was a bit too harsh on him, I should have investigated the event at Mr Steve's wedding before punishing him, he probably hates me now"

" don't blame yourself Mr Hart, you did what you thought was right, you're only looking out for him and I'm sure he understands that"

" I know he does, he's brilliant and I'm proud of Amber for that"

Hart begins to tear up and James comforts him,

" I wonder where she could be and if she's okay or not, it's been five good years without her. How could she just disappear, I still remember it like it was yesterday"

*****

Five years ago, Hart and his wife Amber are in the garden.

" Amber dear"

" yes honey"

" I'm kinda hungry"

" (chuckles) you're always hungry Hart, always, (sighs) let's go make you something to eat",

They both walked into the house then the kitchen.

" so what would you like to eat? "

Hart seats on the table and grabs an apple.

" pasta"

" okay then"

Amber took out some veggies from the cupboard and began to them, Hart got down from the table and grabbed Ambers hands from behind and kissed her neck.

" I'll chop these, why don't you get the sauce ready"

" okay sweetie, but to do that you have to let go off me"

Hart gives her a love bite and pulls her closer to himself.

" it's done"

" what is? "

" I marked you again "

" (sighs) my neck cries out every day, do you know how hard it takes me to hide this ( points to her neck)"

"it's love honey, go get the beef while I chop these"

Amber turned to the refrigerator to get the beef while Hart chopped the veggies.

"did Shawn tell you about the talent show at his school tomorrow?" Hart asked but got no reply.

"hun?" Hart called out, this time turning to face the refrigerator and found no one but himself in the kitchen.

"Amber?" he called out to her and searched the entire house for her but she was no where to be found ,

"come on Amber, you know I don't like this type of games, come out now"

There still was no answer, he decided to go back to the kitchen to retrace his steps. Right in front of the refrigerator was a small piece of paper which he picked off the ground, a picture of an angle Mal which looked like a leopard was on the paper and below it read $LÅZENGER. Ever since he found the paper, he has tried to find information about it but found nothing. Hart never mentioned what happened to Shawn, all he told him was that his mother went on a business trip which never seemed to end.

*****

Jimmy walks into the office with a cash bag in his hands.

" the money's real sir"

" I know, she's Tom's daughter "

" oh, now I see, I can't wait for all this to be over"

" neither can I" Hart replied

" lest I forget, I found Shawn with $LÅZENGER"

" What! how did he get it! "

" I don't know, I tried asking him about it but he didn't say a word all through the ride"

Hart rubbed his bald head nervously and made a call

" how's Shawn"

" he's okay sir, right now he's having class"

" (sighs) keep an eye on his every move and make sure he's safe"

" yes sir"

Hart hung up the call and instructed Jimmy to pick Shawn from school on time.
