Chapter 6 - The Invite

"Dr. David, how can I help you?" Freya asked Dr. David perplexed, she knew that he couldn't be there for friendly reasons. She didn't trust him. Who would, after seeing people caged in his basement?

"I wanted to invite you to a meeting with me and Clara Wilde. We have something very important and urgent to talk to you about, I didn't have your phone number, so I came over to ask you if you can join us."

"Why do you want to have a meeting with me? Does this have to do with why Ms Wilde came to visit Lydia at our law firm?"

"I can't tell you why now, we will explain everything at the meeting. And yes, the meeting has to do with Clara's visit to Lydia." Dr. David answered her coolly with a blank expression.

It was obvious that he didn't like her, it may have to do with breaking into his house. Freya thought maybe he found out that she was the one that broke break into his house and reported it, but then he couldn't have because that means exposing himself as a kidnapper and maybe serial killer.

"I will be there, where will we be meeting?"

"At Clara's house, where we have the Community For All parties."

"Are you really going to meet them? What if they are planning to murder you or worse, lock you up in a cellar and torture you?" Salma reasoned with Freya as she sat with her at Betty's diner for their lunch break. Salma was not settled after she told her that Dr. David has invited her to meet with him and Clara Wilde.

"Don't worry, they won't do that, not at Clara's house and neighborhood. She's our town's Chairwoman and her neighbors are nosy people that are always gossiping." Freya shook her head and touched Salma's hand on the table to assure her that everything will be alright.

"Alright, that's a relief. I wonder what they will talk to you about?"

"I think about that too and I think about whether Dr. David is Dr. Clown. I have seen the kidnapped people at his house, and it's obvious he tortures them, but is he the already known kidnapper and serial killer or is Dr. Clown another person that also does the same? It would be worse if Community town has two serial killers."

"Don't think too much about it, Freya. Now, tell me about the case you have been working on.

"Hello?" Freya answered her phone smiling as she came out of the bathroom and sat on her bed.

"Hey you, how are you doing?" It was Luke, he has called her once after they exchanged numbers, but he didn't call again. Freya thought maybe it was because Finn was making a rumor about she and him dating.

"I'm good, what have you been up to? I haven't heard from you for a while."

"Yeah, well, I thought you were dating Finn from what he told us and didn't want to intrude on your relationship with him, but then James told me today that you and Finn are just friends."

"What? How can you stop calling because of that? And I thought that you and I are also just friends, why would you keep your distance if I was in a relationship?"

"Freya, I see you as more than a friend. I have liked you since I first saw you, and now that I have got to know you, I like you even more and I want to be more than friends with you." Luke spoke softly in a deep enticing voice that drew Freya in.

"I- I don't know what to say, Luke, I just met you and I don't really know you, even though I like you, but I don't know if I like you enough to want to be more than friends." Freya replied carefully, she didn't want to hurt his feelings and she liked him, but not enough to start a relationship with him. She hardly knew anything about him.

"Then get to know me, I can take you out and spend the day with you to get to know each other. Just you and me." Luke insisted, not giving up on his chance to start a relationship with Freya.

He had only met her a month ago, but Luke has started falling for her. The confidence that oozes from her, her beautiful brown eyes that seem to glow, the way she looked at him with those eyes, her sincerity and everything about her has drawn him to her and he can't seem to pull away, even when Finn told him that they had started dating.

"Okay, I will get to know you."

"Is this Saturday okay with you?"

"Yes. Where are we going?"

"It will be a surprise, you will be so delighted that you will never want to leave." Freya laughed, and that made Luke laugh with her.

"Did you know that you have such a beautiful laugh? It just brightened up my day." Luke said in a sensual voice that made Freya's stomach squeeze in delight with butterflies.

"You are flattering me too much."

"No, I'm not. I'm being honest. Freya, I will treat you with so much love and do everything I can to please you."

"Do we have to go all the way to her house? It's downtown and really far." Gwen complained to Freya as she was driving her car to Cathy's house for an interview with her.

"You know that she agreed to do this only if we were to come to her. Let's just get this over with."

Freya sighed and stopped the car upon arriving at their destination. They both exited the car and went inside Cathy's apartment building. They rang the doorbell once they reached the apartment number she gave them.

"Hello, who are you?" A pale disheveled looking Cathy opened the door in pyjamas.

"Hi, I'm Freya and this is Gwen. We spoke on the phone." Freya was surprised to see Cathy like that, even Ms Thorn was more put together when she visited their firm about the case. It seemed that Cathy was really in love with Nathan Brady.

"Yes, come in." Cathy opened the door wider and led them into her home.
