Sera woke up and first she was confused about where she was before the whole episode of the previous night came pouring back into her head. She stretched and yawned before noticing she was all alone on the bed. "What have i done?" She asked herself as she tried to search for her under wears with the bed shits properly covering her up.
Sweet smell crept into her nostrils and her tummy rumbled foe a taste. "Could he be the one cooking? " she thought to herself as she tried to get off the bed.
Jason stepped into the room carrying a tray filled with lots of delicacies. Tea, cookies, friend plantain and Irish potatoes chips, grilled chicken and turkey egg sauce and toast bread. Her eyes kept moving from one corner of the tray to the other, taken in all the various mouth watering options.
"You made all this yourself?" Sera asked, forgetting to hold up the bed sheet over her properly.
Except someone crept into this house and made all these, its just you and i present in this entire house," Jason dropped the tray on the bed and bent down and kisses Sera deeply. "So if its not you who made it, as i am sure its not, then its i who must have gone out of my way to make this wonderful breakfast for the most beautiful lady in the universe." Jason answered all smiles.
Sera stood up on the bed and pulled the standing Jason to herself, her breast welcoming his head as she wrapped her hand across his head.
"You are amazing Jay, you make me blush." She kissed his forehead and sat back gently on the bed. She picked one piece of potatoes chip and threw into her mouth.
After they had eaten and she was helping out with the dishes, Jason made coffee and kept her company.
"I don't want to talk about work, but i can't help wondering about the unsolved case of Dora." Sera said as she put away the last plate she just dried.
"I am sure its right in front of us but we haven't nailed it yet." Jason replied as he fixed two mugs of coffee and they both walked together to the seating room.
Sera was very homely in Jason's shirt that hung on her, covering up to her hips. She sat in a couch and curled her legs under her weight.
"Am sure they are all tied up together but we need facts and not theories." Sera said.
"Two crimes at same location in a space of one day, its not a coincidence." Jason added.
"Its obvious Cash is involved but we need a verifiable evidence to nail it." Sera retorted.
Jason turned on the TV and there was a Milksi commercial rolling. He came and sat beside Sera wrapping Sera in his arms.
"She must have witnessed there activity and one of the thugs knocked her out." Sera said as she adjusted to be comfortable in Jason's arms.
"But what was she doing at the dockyard at that hour?" Jason asked and sipped his coffee.
The commercial was over now and a breaking news with Sandra Hopa filled the screen.
'A series of tragedy has happened in Tampa these few days and the people are beginning to question the integrity of the police to deliver justice to the deceased or affected people who have suffered this brutal treatments.' The reporter was saying. Jason's increased the volume of the TV with the remote and both him and Sera was glued to the screen.
From the death of the Billionaires daughter Dora Kane, who was murdered two nights ago at the T. W. Dockyard to the shootings at La Tampa Club, last night drugs, arms and humans trafficking was intercepted by a covert operation that took place at T. w. Dockyard yet again. Our sources tells us that the popular terror, Cash was seen at the dockyard and escaped during the shootout that left over 18 people dead.' Sandra Hopa said.
'It didn't come as a surprise that in the early hours of today, the Manager of T. W. Dockyard, Mr. Daniel Grey was found half dead in the ditch beside the Tampa highway as he was escaping the arms of the law. The report says Mr. Grey's car crashed over the cliff and tumbled multiple times before it stopped at the ditch and it was miracle for any one to have made it out alive.' Sandra Hopa's voice filled the whole room.
"What!" Both Sera and Jason screamed at once.
'Our correspondent Jim Hernandez, reported that the incident appeared to be an accident but after police investigation it was obvious Mr. Daniel Grey was a victim of attempted murder as traces of red paint was found on his yellow painted car. Other debris believed not to be part of Mr. Greys car of seen on the road a few meters before the crash point on the cliff.' Sandra Hopa said.
"Why wasn't i called?" Jason asked himself as he dashed to the room and grabbed his phone. He was back to the seating room like flash.
'As if that was not enough, a man was shot at a Pharmaceutical outlet Downtown, our reporters gather that they where accosted at gun point and forced to do an emergency surgery on a patient and after the surgery the armed men attempted to shot the Doctor and Nurse on duty when the nurse revolted and shot first killing the injured man on the spot. Very confidential informant informed Channel 47 that the notable terror in Tampa known as Cash was also behind this incident too.' Sandra Said and took a deep breath. 'What is our lovely city becoming? Indigenes and tourist are scared to the bones and we have tried to get words from the police chief but he says the police cant issue statements as investigations are ongoing and all attempt to reach Jason Den and Sera Michaels have proved abortive. Tampa needs a messiah.'
"I had lots of missed calls from last night." Jason said as he watched Sera go through her phone too.
"Me too, oh we have Report at the division and go over this with Ben." Sera said and got off the couch to get her stuff from the bed room.
"You are right, but i have to return Fin's call."
Jason dialled Fin's number and waited. Fin picked on the second ring.
"Hey Detective, i have been trying to reach you" Fin said. "There is a kid here, he said he wont talk to anyone but you." Fin added.
"What is it about and who is the kid?" Jason asked a little confused.
"He said his name is Abel and that you would like to here what he has to say." Fin's voice replied from the other end.
"Yeah i know him, i am on my way." Jason replied.
"Should i call Sera or would you call her in too?" Fin asked Jason.
Sera stepped into the seating room again but this time fully dressed and her hair properly strapped into a pony tail.
"I will give her a call now Fin, thank you and see you soon." Jason said and the line dropped.
"Who was that." Seta asked coming to seat beside Jason.
"It was Fin, i returned his call. He said Abel is at the division and wont talk to anyone except me." Jason said and planted a kiss on Sera's lips.
"Well then we have to cut our day off i have a feeling its going to be a long day again." Sera said pushing Jason away.
"Let me freshen up, be right back." Jason stood up and worked into the bed room.
Sera sat there amazed at how time had flown. A few day's back Jason was a stranger to her but today he would kiss her like they have known each other all their lives. Could this be love or another unprofitable venture? She asked herself. After a few minutes Jason came out of the bed room. Sera caught a breath for a few minutes. Jason worn a black jean on a blue jean jacket, his trainers was a blue Adidas and he was overall a charming sight.
"I am going to make a little stop-over at my place for a quick change over." Sera said as she sucked on Jason's lips with both hands over his head.

Cash saw the news too, he was back at the cabin and was more confused than ever. First, his consignment was impounded by the cops because of his cousin Bill's carelessness to follow strict procedure. Secondly, his replacement plan to compensate for Bill's mistake also went south and to make matters worse Bill was killed during the gun battle.
He stood under the tree beside the stream and looked into space. Someone has to pay for all this damages he thought. He knew Don would be after him now, there was no two ways about it.
Thomas Whale's the owner of T. W Dockyard is also an investor and even accepted to use his dockyard for retrieval of the consignments and as a result of the shootout and illegal activity on his property, his dockyard has been short down and it faces possible confiscation.
"Bolt, i saw Jason, that man is still on my case." Cash said puffing smoke into the air.
"I was sure i shot him, i saw him go down but i am surprised he is still alive." Bolt replied.
Hahahaha Cash laughed as he dragged smoke from his Cuban cigar.
"Who is his partner this time?" Cash asked Bolt.
"I will call the boys at the division for info." Bolt said.
"Get to it, let us stir the mud a little. We need to know where she bunks and prepare for a kidnapping assignment." Cash stopped talking to drag more smoke, he spilled it in the air and smiled, "Let's draw Jason out and make sure he stays dead this time."

Don sat on a couch opposite his wife, he has been of good spirits and it surprised Rita. She had thought that Don would be breathing coal and brimstone down her throat but to her surprise he was calmer than expected. Even too calm for someone who just lost his only child.
"I have to many things going through my mind right now Rita, and i want to get them off one after the other." Don said waving a hand to Sam. "Sam here tells me you are seeing Mr. Daniel, is that true." Don asked with a smile.
"We haven't exactly been husband and wife, have we?" Rita asked with a sad face.
"I will take that as a yes." Son said and stood up to leave her room.
"If you are going to kill me like you tried to do to Daniel, at least be a man and kill me yourself!" She screamed standing up to approach Don but Sam stepped between them and stopped her.
Don stopped after hearing what Rita just accused him. "Daniel is out of town and now that you didn't deny your involvement with him you can join him too." Don said and turned to leave.
"Out of town?" Rita Queried, "You sent your thugs after him and almost killed him, it is all over the news!" She held her head in anger. "I knew i married a thief and a liar but i never knew i married a coward too!" Rita said and finally got Don's attention.
Don turned to face her again, he walked back and sat into one of the couch.
"I almost thought you connived with that boy to kill Dora and inherit my estate, but listening to you, it wasn't you. I didn't try to kill Daniel and now i wonder why i didn't. For you, you can leave whenever you please, but... " Son paused and looked at Rahim who was looking at him with so much concern. "You will leave with what you already have, nothing more." Don concluded. "Rahim, nothing must happen to her even when am dead." Don said still looking at Rahim who nodded and looked away.
Don stood up under the amazement of Rita and walked towards the door.
"Rahim, make sure you withdraw her access to all our properties too."
