Chapter 16: Still Day 7 – It’s Done

[JUSTIN]

Just one more step, and I’m done. A date this afternoon will end it all.

I pile up the billing notes and payment checks that I’ve recalculated, then sign some papers.

"It's 1 pm," I mutter, looking at the clock. "What takes Alexa so long?" I take my cell phone and call her.

Two missed calls. Strange.

Then suddenly I remember something, and my heart aches. Kimmy is about to throw Alexa down a well! Lisa's words a few days ago makes my heart seem to stop for a few seconds. I jump out of my seat and run straight to the garden.

Oh my God, Alexa.. I'm very sorry that I don't remember the threat that Lisa said, even though I was a little suspicious yesterday.

Alexa's bag is lying on a park bench.

"Alexa?" I shout while looking for her.

"Justin!" Alexa's voice answers me from afar.

I rush to the well and see her there. "You okay?"

"I'm okay.. I guess?"

"Wait, I'll get you the stairs from the office!" The I run straight back to DSA’s office as fast as I can.
