365 Days To Love-Chapter 201 - TWO HUNDRED AND ONE:The Fear Of Trusting Him.
He was off duty.
He had initially wanted to go home after a busy day at home, with fruitless results of solving what exactly was going on with the Knights family.
It didn’t come as a surprise to him that Hazel’s wedding was called off,it wasn’t a surprise.Not when they had a lot going on in that family.
After giving out the autopsy results information to the head of the house,it didn’t make any sense to him or to old man Williams that someone ate up some parts of the body of the dead guard.
It was not in his line of work not to leave anything uncovered, everyone was a suspect regardless of how innocent they all look.
But that’s only Nathan,and Sophia Knights who weren’t comfortable with the idea of having a talk with him.
That had given him more reason to buckle up in his research about what is going on in that family,and had kept a close eye on everyone.
But it wasn’t that easy to track any of them , not when they knew how critical the time was for them and how smart they were at making sure their security knew their work.
Not only did he have the assumption that whosoever that killed the guards, wasn’t an enemy of the family but one of them living there.
Reporter West’s death was another major reason why he had a strong assumption, that there was more to the story than the eyes could see.
His wife had been charged for what happened,and was nowhere to be found.she just disappeared into thin air with his son.
Although there’s no news yet about them being dead or anything, there’s no way she can show her face to the public after what she did.
It was all over the national tv,and all radio stations about what she did,and everyone was throwing hateful comments her way for what she did to her husband.
Until last night,he really confirmed that he wasn’t in any way poisoned as people thought, it was no surprise to him that whosoever killed West had some strong connection in the police force.
Strangely,West’s case was supposed to be handed over to him because he was involved with the Knights problem,rather it was handed to another person.
West was the one who released that picture online,which made him a suspect,but he was too slow in getting West’s statement before all this happened.
It came to his notice recently that five days before he was killed,he was reported missing after which he cleared it off with reasons of his own.
Talking further about a
rat who was working as a spy in his department, and ratting off everything to the person behind West’s death.
Detective John had kept this new information to himself, about conducting a private Autopsy test without anyone’s notice.
Detective had kept that only to himself for reasons best known to himself,even from his assistant,he had to be careful.
Who knows who was sending information out?
And who knows who exactly is paying the informant?
In his ten years of working in the police force,this was nothing new to him and he knew quite well that eventually justice would get served in the end.
But as for now, that justice won’t be served if he sits,fold his arms and wait for signals,Nah!
He had to take things by force,and that’s what he’s planning on doing without letting anyone know.
He decided to walk home tonight,which had been his mind being uncomfortable with the thought of hailing a cab back home.
He’s never been used to that,not after his motorcycle was and has always helped in that area, but kelvin had taken it home today after going on an errand with it.
Leaving him with no choice to walk home, but doing that seems to be a good choice because the scene in front of him made him ask if today was not his lucky day.
Standing infront of him,few meters away outside the central hospital of Nestar City was Nathan, who had his arms locked around some girls throat with a murderous intent on his face.
He should have known that Nathan was more than the eyes could tell,and not only was he too pompous and rude to him on the day of investigation.
He had no respect for women, regardless of who he is and the family he came from, and how sensitive the sayings are for the Knights.
He was openly battering a woman right in front of him,he might be an elite and can buy his way through anything that stands as an opposition to him.
But right now, there’s a cctv that was capturing everything he’s doing,a bonus to him because just as he attempted to approach him for what he was doing,and for going against the law for doing that to a female.
The lady in question that was facing Nathan did something he didn’t expect,by kicking the mother fucker at where the sun never shines before taking off.
Detective John went after her through another shortcut,she was the only source he had at getting to Nathan.
If what his mind was telling him about all this was correct, then,he’s going to get questions out of the lady who Nathan nearly choked to death.
She has to have something against Nathan for him to be that way towards her,even if it was little he has to know all about it.
Staring at the lady’s back as she hid against the wall,while staring in front thinking that Nathan or his guard might have taken off after her.
He didn’t know which way to approach her without raising any alarm,the alley where she is was really unhealthy for a lady like her.
But who knows what she had gone through at the hands of Nathan to hide away from him?
What sort of a detective would he be if he doesn’t help her?
Taking slow steps towards her,there’s no way she wouldn’t freak out and react once she knows there was someone else here with her.
Detective John places his hands on her shoulder,and just as he predicted.she screamed!
Her hands went into actions that had it being he didn’t have fast reflexes,she would have designed his face with her long nails.
God!
Something was definitely wrong with her.
"Hey hey, stop!" Detective John said to her,but she wasn’t willing to back down without a fight.
"Leave me alone!"She yelled.
It was very obvious to him that she had gone through alot,which made him more eager to know who exactly she is,and what sort of relationship she has with Nathan Knights.
"It’s okay Miss,I meant no harm"He said,and that seemed to calm her down for a bit after noticing that it wasn’t Nathan that was standing in front of her.
"Who are....you?"She asked,with her hair hung low,she didn’t want to reveal her face yet to another crazy human being who would like to know if she’s Hazel or not.
Detective John didn’t force her to reveal her face yet to him,he had to take things slowly with her and try to gain her trust if he wanted to get anything out of her.
Taking his identity out to show her who he is,she would relax once she knows she’s in the right hands.
"I’m Detective John miss,you are safe" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
That worked as he expected, because she slowly raised her head up to him, revealing herself to him which made him too shocked at this moment.
Hazel Blackwood?
What’s she doing with Nathan?
How exactly did she manage to get outside the house, that’s crowded with thousands of reporters that want to know what exactly is going on?
Does Zaiden know about this?
Why is she running away from Nathan?
There were a whole lot of questions that he wanted to ask right at this point,but what she said next made him wonder how exactly that was possible.
"I’m not Hazel"She said immediately,when she noticed the same look he had on his face like the others.
Lucy considered cutting her hair,or dyeing its colour, whatever means she had to take to stop all the attention she was getting, for having the same look as the Knights princess.
She didn’t want to tell the officer her name yet,no!
Not when she knows what Nathan is capable of doing,what if this was all a trap to get her back to him while disguising himself as an officer?
That’s what she thought,but he looked too innocent unlike Eric,who’s look alone would tell you what a dangerous man he is.
Does that mean she had to trust him to tell him who she is?
"Then who are you?"
There was a brief silence between the both of them,which made it known that she was scared of revealing her identity to him.
"Can i trust you?’’Lucy asked, rubbing her arm against the cold.
"You can trust me,I’m not here to harm you but you have to be verbal with me if you need my help"
She nodded her head,before Looking into his desperate eyes that needed her to open up to him.
But the fear of the unknown was the beginning of wisdom, for Lucy Wells.
She can’t trust him yet.
It’s too dangerous.
