Confrontation and clues

Selina Johnson | Apartment | 12:30

-So the doc left?

-Looks that way.

-...Still finding this hard to believe..(sighs)

-...-I was always being inconsiderate with Jerry, this wasn't a new thing. His selfless acts of chivalry have been my very own calling card for help for sometime.

-Hey, uhh; thanks for setting up the doctor...actually, you have been really a great help...I, I don't want to know what would have happened if Shen hadn't chosen your club to hide that day.

-Probably I would just be pouring drinks as usual, boring. He has my appreciation for stopping too. There's never a dull moment with you.

-Really? Guess this kid really helped us in one way or other?- I tried to avoid the real statement.

-...,- He was trying to keep it tranquil. The thing that Jerry was here about the very person whom I tried to hide from him once particularly didn't help with making conversation.

-Sorry for not being open about everything.

-...

-Keeping Shen here without proper planning and engaging Layla...

-All I care about is Layla. Don't take this in a wrong way but..(sighs)you don't need to feel sorry for stuffs which isn't worth the effort; and I thought we're through this.

-...I see; if you don't want to have anything to do with me from now on..then...

-...

-It's okay. I understand.

-Will you be alright if that was to happen?

-...no.

-...

-...,- Words were becoming frustrating.

-Hey?!- I hugged him and hoped that it would be good enough to convey my feelings.

-I could never put Layla and Jane in danger. Please Jerry; you guys are all I have. Stop this act!!

-...

-Please, I don't want...to be alone again.

-Let's get inside. You wanna tell me the whole thing?

-He's still sleeping. You should move him to city as soon as possible.

-I still cannot believe, he had an actual pacemaker attached. God..

-Little did you know about anything that random. Just don't make a random decision; not without giving it a proper thought. Okay?

-I won't.

-Anyway, the papers are on the drawer. I have arranged the medications too and left notes.

-...

-I'll call later.

-Back to work?

-Yes, do you need something else?

-Sort of.

-Let me guess, you are onto something.

-Yes but not much. Like for starters his words suggest that there's another faction, group or cult working from behind the scene.

-And Shen, your dear friend knows them.

-It seems. Now, inside the envelope that he stole it appears to be some papers regarding the payment of some shipments...I need help with this investigation.

-The old guy who had these papers, died unfortunately. If I have heard right, his death..was rather interesting.

-Hmm. Which means it was relatively an easy job for him. Everything checks out.

-No, not everything. Recall that name? Ice queen?

-...I do.

Thanks for reading.

**Anyone who’s interested, I think I should mention about the hard time I’m having with Webnovel. My drafts are losing words without any good reasons. As a result I need to rewrite every chapter from the beginning. Sorry.
