Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

Maybe there is more. Maybe Julia does really like Charles. He is tall and well-built straight hair, a light complexion, and brown eyes. She secretively might have liked him but kept it to herself since she and Robert had a daughter.

Kathy looked through the window of her dad's office and saw her Dad yelling at Uncle Charles. She could see her dad was Angry.

Kathy could not hear what he was shouting since the office was soundproof. "Robert turn his head and the corner of if his catch a glimpse of his daughter staring at him through the window."

Robert smiles at her then closes the blinds.

"Mommy? Why is daddy mad at Uncle Charles?"

"No, honey, he is not mad." Kathy now goes to the table and eats her mom's vegetables. After an hour, Charles comes out of the office as Julia notices Robert's mood has changed.

"Is everything ok, love?" she asks him, "No, he says, Charles just made the company lose fifty thousand dollars?"

"How did he manage to do that?"

He said the client had legit documents to make a withdrawal, and when lending the money out, they found out after the money was handed to the client that the client was not who he said he was. All documents were falsified.

"Something is not right about what happened. He has been working for you for so long,"

How is it possible that the exact amount was taken to the outstanding value of his mortgage that is behind in payment?

You are right, but Charlie can never pull off such a stunt. We will review the footage and figure out what happened.

"Kathy saw you upset and asked me about it."

"I am sorry about that. I just forgot to close the blinds."

"It is fine, love."

So have you found any vacancy on that vacation house we are going to? I miss walking the beach short bare feet.

Yes, about that, they have an opening for Friday throughout the weekend, so we got two days to prepare "Julia grins."

Robert now puts on his coat and goes outside into the garden to get the newspaper. Ms. Bartley is out as she waves to Robert.

"Hi Robert"

Hi, there says Robert. How is the family? They are well. Thank you for asking Ms. Bartley.

MS. Bartley is an international model, and she is always traveling around the world; however, after that, the Corona Virus came out, she could not travel.

This was the worst virus humanity had ever faced since 1918, when the Spanish flu killed thousands of people.

The coronavirus originated in china and spread worldwide in December 2019.

Robert also stopped traveling due to the pandemic since no one knew much about the virus.

Ms. Bartley was watering her garden as she walked over to the fence.

"So, when will you come over for some tea or Coffee? she says"

"We will keep you informed anyway it has been good seeing you."

Turning around going back into the house. Julia now closes the curtain.

"I see you getting comfortable with your neighbor she says."

"Glad to see you were getting comfortable with your model, Julia grins."

"Do I sense Jealousy says Robert grinning"

"I am Joking says, Julia. You gave me no reason to distrust you."

Robert now walks up to his beautiful wife and hugs her."

You are the only one I will ever love, Julia. We have been married for many years, and you still have that spark of jealousy.

"Julia rolls her eyes."

"I am not the only one." Kathy now hugs her Dad's leg. She is so adorable, says her mom. Pick her up, honey.

Robert picks her up, jokingly saying she is so heavy they all laugh. Julia looks up at her family, which is everything she ever wanted. The two of them complete her.

Julia enjoyed being outdoors and loved going for long walks on the beach. Her ideal evening would be lying on a car roof listening to music, staring up at the stars.

She served as a Central Intelligence Agent taught her always to be prepared for the worst.

Julia has witnessed the worst torture.

Robert, can I borrow your car says Julia? Sure you can. As he turns, he glances at the clock. It is only seven o clock. Where are you going so early? Kathy is up, and she needs to go for her vaccination, "we have discussed this yesterday, honey," says Julia.

Robert now sits up. I am going with you. No, go back to sleep. I can manage.

"Are you sure? "

Yes, says Julia as she walks to the bathroom to freshen up.

Does she need the injection?

"Yes, it will minimize her chances of getting infected."

Ok, I will get a little more sleep, and I will see you when you get back.

Julia now kisses his cheek and whispers goodbye. Kathy Honey, are you ready? Kathy runs up to her. She is wearing a yellow hoody with pink boots.

Julia cannot help but smile at Kathy's bright colors. Walking out the door, the air is cold as they rush to the car to switch on the heater.

"Is Dad not coming with us, Mom?"

"No, your Dad wants to come with us, but I said I want to have you all to myself."

"Kathy grins at hearing her Mom only wants her company."

Reversing out of the yard, the neighborhood is quiet. It is like a ghost town. Julia has her firearm in the holster as they take the route to the hospital.

The weather is misty, and she can barely see anything as she turns on the headlights. The roads are quiet. Taking a left turn is a road with a house on opposite sides.

She now pulls over and takes a bag out of the back seat.

"I will be right back, honey."

Kathy watches her mom walk inside the yard as a sketchy guy with a tattoo looks around, taking the bag.

Julia now looks back to the car as she goes inside the house. She leaves the car door locked.

Kathy notices two guys with hoodies and jeans hanging to the ground walking down the street.

They look towards the car and notices Kathy inside the vehicle,

The dark-tanned guy has a black shot beard dirty five foot three, tries to open the door as it would not open. Kathy screams. The guy knocks on the car window, telling her to roll down the window. The other guy, who looks older, now takes a screwdriver and opens the car.
