Chapter 3: Night threats

The guards were forcing Kara to walk and she tried to free herself without any success.

"Let me go"

But they threw her on the ground behind Amanda who was looking on the ground taking a cup of tea.

"You don't seem to appreciate my generosity. Let us alone"

The guards went away and Kara stood up approaching Amanda. "You still treat me like a puppet after all I'm doing for you"

Amanda turned to look at her in the face. "And what are you doing for me Kara? Besides letting Connor to discover us?"

"And how could I ruin our plan?"

"Giving him the medical records"

"He's questioning another woman. He thinks she killed Brad Goylen"

"Because I falsified the medical records. I killed Brad Goylen"

"And how could I know it? How do you pretend I can be able to help you if you hyde me everything"

"I believed you was enough intelligent to understand"

"I surely can't read in your mind"

"Try to put Connor in the wrong steps. Convince him to accuse wrong people and I will warn you when we will accuse North"

"I believed my job was seducing him not accusing innocent people"

"This is a possibility to be closer to him. You're the right woman for him Kara, not North. I'm convincing her to trust me"

"Wait, did you speak with North?"

"She was so fascinated from the garden that I'm gaining her trust… little by little" Amanda made a treacherous smile"

…

Connor was sitted in front of the female doctor named Sasha Great who has been accused for having killed Brad Goylen.

"I swear I didn't kill him, I loved him"

"I can't help you if I don't know the facts"

"He was sick for a lung cancer. I believed I could cure him and I was succeeding until…" she was crying "Until I opened the door and I was him dead"

"Ok, stay calm" Connor looked everywhere "I want to help you, but this medical records are all against you"

"I know"

"I have to bring you to the cell…"

"No please"

"But I will find the best lawyer to help you"

"You're a liar, you're a MONSTER" Sasha tried to attack Connor but the police men stopped her.

"Took her in the cell"

…

Connor drove his car until he arrived at home. When he opened the door he smelled a perfume of lavender throughtout the house.

"Did you miss me Connor?" said North arriving with a sensual pink dress with a split that showed her leg. Her hair was loose and bright. She approached Connor seducing him

"If I knew I could wear something more elegant too"

"You don't need to be elegant to be charming" North kissed him "How did work go?"

"Well, I arrested an innocent woman for a murder she surely didn't commit but… I'm working on the case"

"The proves are against her?"

"Yes, and I want to try to convince everyone she didn't kill the person she loved most"

North became more serious.

"And you? You seem worried" Connor observed her

"No, I'm fine" she smiled

"What did you do today?"

"Well, over than preparing this romantic moment… nothing" North was trying to kiss hima gain but he kissed her neck

"I was saying when I was investigating for the case, not when I was questioning the woman"

"Why don't you continue what you are doing?"

"Well…" Connor undressed her and took her in the bedroom while he was undressing himself too. He pushed her on the bed and kissed her from above. He was smiling while he kissed her in every part of her body and gave her pleasure. After they had sex, they slept together and after a while North woke up and caressed Connor's face while he was sleeping. She smiled.

"North"

She looked away from Connor and tried to listen the voice. "Who's there?"

"North"

She stood up and walked away from the room. "Can I help for something?"

"I know what you did" said the voice emitting echo "You killed your boyfriend… You killed Markus, and I can tell everyone what you did and go in prison"

"Who are you?" North raised her voice

"The person who wants you out of this world for the eternity"

"You don't scare me"

"You should"

North started having headaches and falling down.

"Everyone will know you're an assassin North"

North woke up scared and Connor too after seeing her in that way.

"North, North, hey, it was just a dream"

North continued breathing heavily.

"Hey, do you understand me? It was just a dream, I'm here with you"

"No, it wasn't a dream"

"It's impossible"

"It seemed so real. Connor, hug me" North leaned on his chest continuing to think about that dream

…

North wore herself on the bathroom and looked at herself on the mirror. She was beautiful, but she felt a monster, that voice made her to feel a monster. She regretted everyday what she did. She didn't love Markus anymore after he insulted Sera and even because they hadn't enough chemistry, not the same chemistry she had with Connor, but that didn't mean she should kill him. That didn't mean she shouldn't keep the secret to the justice, in fact she wasn't intented to spend the rest of her life in prison but maybe she should tell everything to Connor. He was a policeman but she loved him and he would have never left her in prison. She went out of the bathroom and she saw Connor smiling to her.

"Connor, I have to tell you something"

"Connor" Kara entered in the house "We're late"

"Yes, I know" agreed him

"What is she doing here?" asked North

"Oh, sorry North, I didn't tell you anything. Kara works with me at the police station. We… go together to investigate cases"

"Oh" North looked at her suspicious "Don't worry my love. I'm happy for you Kara"

"Yes, it's a new opportunity to start a new life. I believed going out from Detroit was the best thing for me and Alice but… it wasn't" Kara smiled

"I see"

"Well my dear now I go at work" Connor kissed North and he went out with Kara.

…

Kara examinated the documents the chief gave her.

"This are the next murdering cases we must investigate"

"So am I hired?"

"You was already hired Kara. You did a mission with Connor without my permission but without you we would have never captured Sasha Great"

"Thank you, you won't regret it" Kara smiled and went out from the office.

She walked in the corridor when a hand took her and made her enter in the bathroom. She was almost falling down and went she turned she saw North.

"North. What are you doing here?"

"Surprised to see me Kara? Maybe you shouldn't after having seen me tonight"

"Tonight? What are you talking about?"

"First of all, stay away from my boyfriend"

"Connor? We're colleagues, we don't have any relationship"

"He doesn't want you, but you?… I don't think so"

"North, I'm here to work, not because I'm in love with Connor"

"Say it to someone else, you can't take joke of me. You want him, this is the reason you threatened me tonight saying that you will reveal what I did"

"What you did? North I didn't…"

"You can say whatever you want Kara, but you know… Connor wants me, not poor street people like you, so keep it in your mind: don't even try to reveal something"

Kara was almost crying. "I understod. Can I go now?"

"If you understod the concept of my speech… Yes"

Kara went away at a brisk pace.

…

Kara went to Amanda's house. "I want to kill her"

Amanda turned. "Kara, what a surprise"

"A poor street girl like me is ready to become the best seductress of Detroit. I'll take away Connor from her with a snap of finger"

"It's strange you wake up only now Kara. What did make you so active?"

"North pulled the rope too hard, it's better she reneges her arrogance in time. She wants to see me evil, well I'm becoming that person who gives her a headache every night".
