Chapter 3 - The Richman - Dealing with Danger II

Oliver had just prepared for his trial, three minutes before he walked into the courtroom and one of his staff pointed out an online news story in which Shiena and the woman she defended revealed astonishing facts in the media about their daughter's disappearance and said that reports to the authorities had been made many times. Jovanca even told the media that they had already paid the private detective which only made her suffer even more from incurring costs without success, as well as the lawyers who had previously dealt with it.

Sheina emphatically said that for a justice she did not demand payment, she just wanted the case to be handled and the daughter of the poor woman to be found immediately, either alive or dead.

Oliver sighed deeply, the next minute after Shiena finished with this press conference, her life would not be easy and calm anymore. Oliver contacted Sheina and one sentence he said "You disobey me, disrespect me, what else?" He asked in a deep, restrained voice.

"Sorry." One word spoken by Sheina. "I'll bear the consequences, it on me"

Oliver didn't answer, he turned off his call and walked into the courtroom. At least right now he needs to focus on the trial he has to win. Meanwhile Sheina had just escorted Jovanca home.

"Thank you." The woman thanked her for how many hundred times it had been.

Sheina looked at the woman, "This is the only road you have to pass, I just accompany you." Sheina said.

"You took a big risk to do it with me." Jovanca squeezed Sheina's hand and the young girl said goodbye. She walked home towards her apartment in her car that night, for some reason she wanted to apologize to Oliver for what she did today, but not for tonight. Oliver must have been very angry and didn't even want to see him.

***

Sheina intended to walk into her apartment and she saw that the door of her apartment was broken. The girl tentatively pushed open the door of her apartment and opened, she turned on the light on the side of the wall and saw that her apartment unit was falling apart. All the things that were there were messed up even the photos of her mother were broken. Not only outside, but even the bedroom is also messy.

Sheina immediately got out of her apartment unit and drove in her car to seek help. She contacted Ben, her father many times and somehow Ben didn't receive her call.

"Dad, please call me back soon." Sheina left a voicemail. She switched to contacting Oliver but the man's cell phone was off. Olvier pelase, please . . . Sheina repeatedly tried to contact the man but remained unconnected.

"Oliver, I went to my apartment and everything was destroyed. Please contact me immediately." Sheina looked at the rearview mirror in front of her and the glare of the car behind her seemed to follow her car closely. "I feel that the car behind me is following me." Sheina immediately threw her phone on her side bench and she held the stir of her car tightly, while her foot stepped on the accelerator deeper and deeper.

She tried to leave the car behind her but it seemed quite difficult. The car behind her followed her closely and just as the car was able to keep up with the speed of Shiena's car suddenly there was a gunshot. With a big shocked Sheina slammed her steering wheel until her car slipped out of the lane and was hit from the opposite direction until it was dragged a few meters away.

A few minutes into the traffic jam, everyone who was in the vicinity of the incident tried to help the victim who was trapped in the vehicle including Sheina. Bleeding on the head, and it may be broken in various parts of her body. When it was successfully ejected from the car, someone had already called 911 and the ambulance came. Sheina and another woman who was the victim of the accident were rushed to the hospital.

Oliver had just walked out of the office and realized his phone was off some time. Today he was so busy despite the problems Sheina made as well as his client's problems that Oliver forgot his time and it was quite late.

He got in the car and put his phone in the charging position. A few minutes later he started driving and turned on his cell phone, several missed calls and voicemails from Sheina.

"Oliver, I went home to my apartment and everything was destroyed. Please contact me immediately." Sheina's voice sounded trembling with panic. "I feel that the car behind me is following me."

Oliver immediately contacted Sheina and tried to wait for an answer but it was nil, many times he tried and didn't get a answer. Oliver became panicked, he even rolled back his vehicle towards Sheina's apartment.

But it was only halfway through that a call came in from a foreign number. Apparently it was from the hospital who told her that Oliver was the last person Sheina contacted before she had an accident and Oliver was asked to come to the hospital on the spot.

The hospital was in the opposite direction to Sheina's apartment and that required Oliver to turn his vehicle again and increase the speed of his vehicle towards the hospital. Upon arrival, Sheina was being treated through surgery because a cerebral hemorrhage was also broken in the left hand. At least that's what the nurse he met in the emergency room said. And now Oliver was waiting for news from the operating room while he sat in the waiting room. He gave the bad news to Ben and the man on his way to the hospital.

***

"How is Sehina doing?" Ben asked frantically as soon as he met Oliver.

Oliver sighed deeply." She is in the operating room, we can only hope that she can get through.

"The last few weeks she hasn't contacted me." Ben said. "But, A few hours ago she called me and I wasn't near my cell phone until I missed the call. If I had known she was going to be in trouble, I certainly wouldn't have left my phone on the table. I feel bad for what happend to her. Ben seemed to squeeze his face full of regret. "We haven't spoken lately, that makes me feel even worse."

"And you didn't try to contact her either?" Oliver's eyebrows intertwined looking at Ben.

Ben let out a regretful shrug, "Last time we had a disagreement and I thought maybe I was too protective and controlled her all along. She asked for freedom and I tried to give it to her," Ben glazed in, he remeassed his face.

"You also don't know if a week ago she saw her biological mother in Atlanta?" Oliver asked.

"No." Ben dribbled, "She didn't tell me." The man seemed to begin to shed tears. Ben regretted, he bowed with both hands supporting his head and started crying.

Oliver could only pat Ben on the shoulder. He made room for Ben to spill his sense of remorse and guilt. Not only was Ben sorry and felt guilty, But Oliver also felt the same way. He shouldn't be so weak as to let Sheina do what she want. Ben should have even more firmly rejected Shiena from committing her stupidity this afternoon and resulting in endangering her own life.

Three hours passed and Sheina was still in the operating room, meanwhile the police arrived and asked Oliver some things as the boss of Sheina. Police said that before Sheina's car rolled over, from cctv monitoring on the highway the speed of the vehicle that Sheina was driving exceeded the maximum permissible speed and a few seconds before the accident a car appeared to be parallel to Sheina's car and someone's hand came out of the car glass and then fired into the exact side where Sheina's vehicle was.

The following second the vehicle Sheina was driving was thrown out of the lane and into the opposite lane just as a vehicle from the opposite side drove towards her and slammed her until it rolled over and dragged several meters away. Hearing all the facts as well as the fact that Sheina's apartment had been destroyed before, Oliver realized that this was the aftermath of Sheina's actions this afternoon, following up the case of Susan Bill, Jovanca Bill's daughter who was lost in a kidnapping.
