plans

"Took you long enough"

"well what can I say? busy guy like myself tend to get a lot tired.... and so I sleep late, and wake up late.."

"So wait, you woke up now like...right now?"

"Not now, I woke up about..... (checking his watch) 10 minutes ago.. "

" Do you usually wake up at this time Rider? "

" Well.... I don't usually wake up 1:30pm, I usually wake up at 1:00pm.... "

"God Rider do you have to make everything complicated? "

" I haven't made anything complicated I just made things more clear.. "

he slipped his coffee as he smirked through the call..

"God Rider...." Lorena chuckled as Rider enjoyed her chuckle... Lorena's heart was in so much peace now as she finally heard his voice, and as for Rider, seeing her calls everyday seems to be bringing her closer to him, And this made him happy as his plan is going through smoothly.

"Anyway, you coming to pick up your clothes?"

"Hmmm... wanna keep them?"

" And why would I wanna keep your clothes in my room? it's not like they fit me that I could wear them frequently, and beside, my dad would freak out seeing a man's clothes in my room, and he'd know right away that these are yours since technically, you're the only man he knows that I made friends with since we moved here.... "

" Right... " upon hearing the word dad from Lorena, Rider changed and his mood changed completely, hearing the word dad reminded him of Alex walker and the murder case... now he wanted to return to his goal on the real reason why he approached her on 5he first place, he thought of a way to bring the topic of the murder up but he didn't know how... so he wondered and then, it came..

" But ammm... I think it's better if he sees them there?"

"What? and why? do you know how he'd freak out? he'd probably think that I spent the night in my room with you without him knowing and this would bring a hell of wild imaginations in his mind.. "

" An example"

"..... Rider don't even think about bringing those topics now? "

" Hm? what sort of topics Lorena? "

" Oh good lord...."

" Alright then let's start talking about something else.... let's talk about the news that are all over new York city"

" You mean the murder case?"

" Exactly, you know no matter which channel I check,the same damn news and it's already been four days since the murder took place and the murder is still out there..this is really making the police seems quite useless don't you think?"

" No I don't, the police are trying their level best to find the murder, they spend day and night to figure this case out and finally capture the murder, but it's just that the murder is quite a clever guy.."

Rider nodded agreeing to the statement that his clever as he sipped his coffee..

"..everything they do and everything they plan just don't work and they all get back to square one....do you k ow what I think, I think that this murder is not just any other murder Rider, this murder is smart ..."

Rider nodded

" Clever.."

he nodded again

" And knows what he's doing with every step that he takes..."

" Precisely..." he said in his mind as he smirked drinking his coffee...

" and I also think that...he might be in cahoots with some powerful people that successfully help him to hide every evidence regarding his murder case"

" how about in cahoots with the entire new York city?"

he smirked and silently chuckled to himself as he listened to her...

" That's why..til this date no evidence has been found....so don't say that they are useless as they spend a lot of their time cracking this murder case"

" Alright alright miss police woman, forgive me for insulting the NYPD as I do not know what am even saying right now... don't mind me, I just woke up 12 minutes ago and so I talk nonsense... "

Lorena rolled her eyes at him over the phone and told him

" just come and pick em up okay"

"Hmmm... I'll come later, right now my head is aching like crazy..."

"Aching. why did you drink last night?"

"A little bit..."

"At the bar?"

Rider smirked to himself and cleared his throat.

"I think my girlfriend doesn't like me going to the bar..I wonder why?"

" probably because the bar is filled with woman, and once you drink and they approach you, it'll be impossible for you to reject them and end up having sex with them"

" Hmmm.. that clearly must be the reason"

" Why... did she tell you that she hated you going to the bar.. "

Rider smirked and answered

" She did....well since I know that she doesn't like me going there and I still went there last night am sure right now she must be mad at be, isn't it.....Lorena?"

" Well how am I to know? am not her"

Reine smirked even wider and bit his lower lip... he let it go softly and asked her

"well let's put you in her shoes.."

"Would you be mad at me if you were her?"

"Well.. of course, you probably touched some women there while. getting drink and.... even had ... sex with them... so yeah, I'd be pretty mad at you"

"But I didn't know that you hated me going to the bar...forgive me just this once ...hmmm?"

Lorena felt this was weird, why was he talking to her like this, she wasn't his girlfriend was she? she only answered being in her shoes but she wasn't so sure if she was truly mad at him or not, I mean... what if the girlfriend is a bad girl... I mean the nightclub kind of a girl .. she'd probably thinks that it's normal for him to go to bars and spend the night there as well... but.. now this..

"Hey why are you saying sorry to me.... I'm not her, say sorry to her and not me"

"Saying sorry to you is the same as saying sorry to her my Lorena.. "

" Your..... "

Lorena chuckled in an amused way and told him

" Hey you, am not yours okay? so you... mind that tongue"

" ohhhh.... sorry... my..... I mean mi lorena"

" mi.... hey don't try to fool me know what that means..."

Lorena heard him chuckle from the other side of the phone and this made her heart pound as she imagined how handsome he looked right now as he chuckled like that.. then, Rider finished chuckling and he said

"Bye Lorena.... I'll see you later.."

Rider hang up, he lay his head on the sofa he sat on and said to himself

"They haven't found out anything yet ... hmm I like this rat chase"

he smirked evilishly and sipped his coffee as he shut his eyes
