When The Sky Falls - Book 2, N. Y. [100 books to read .txt] 📗

spoke after.

 

"Says here, a neighbor nearby heard screaming coming from the residence of Claire Woods. Suspect said moments later, Elle appeared coming out of the house and mostly packing up some thing. She left town and never came back for 2 years."

 

 

"Until she reappeared with her mother and a possible different man in Rosewood several months ago. Not Henry, who has died in Rosewood. They visited for a while, then went back to New York."

 

 

This case confused me alright, for a really long time.

 

Why would Elle keep coming and going? We know that people are prone to leave or have a flight response when something bad happens, but I didn't realize until it was put into words, how much and fled.

 

 

And her mom, geing with another guy. After seeing her husband dead, geez what a crazy family.

 

 

The boss countinued.

 

"We've been tracking her for the past year now, and our P.I. Sara, has gone undercover to secretly work and find out some information about Ellle. Working at FARELLE for the past year, we haven't really covered anything but the fact she's gonna be under arrest this coming April."

 

 

He flipped to another picture on the visi-screen.

 

"Back in Rosewood, our team had found some evidence of who was in the household during the time Elle's father died. And it was possible, that Elle was in the house when her father was killed. And that leads to Elle actually killing her own father, because nobody else was seen during those hours after. And hiding the evidence herself, she escaped or disappeard to Paris."

 

 

"Bingo." I said softly.

 

 

"So Sara, continue going undercover at FARELLE. We've talked with the board of the magazine company and you are not guilty of anything. So don't answer any questions, about why you're back in work. Now, back to work y'all." boss said.

 

 

We all went to our separate computers and searched through Elle's profile.

 

"Let's see what you got now Elle." I said under my breath.

 

I looked through the case.

"I'm gonna take you down Elle, and I plan on locking you up. No matter what."

 

--

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

A rushed tingy feeling, brushed through the back of my neck.

 

Someone was coming back. I sensed it.

 

 

Just then the glass doors opened. And there she was.

 

Sara.

 

How did she get out?

 

 

I busted her just yesterday, she was stalking me for the past year. How is she not locked up?

 

"Hello everyone, i'm back." she says.

 

Everyone stared in suprise, most didn't even look twice at her.

 

 

The ring in her voice irritated my ears.

 

Why was she back?

 

I couldn't stand to see her back in FARELLE again. She looked over to me and gave me puppy dog eyes.

 

"I'm so sorry for stalking you Elle. I guess I wasn't really getting my life together, and I wanted it to take it out on you."

 

She sighed, pulling me into an embrace.

 

I reluctantly get up from my chair in response.

 

My body couldn't stop me from moving.

 

 

"So sorry again, but feel free to put a restraining order on me if you want. Cause it's impossible, now that i'm out of jail and back to work."

 

 

I looked back at her stunned.

 

I wanted to burn her eyes from my vision.

 

I felt boiling mad and felt my breath hitch at the slight thought.

 

 

How could she come back FARELLE and act like nothing happened.

 

"Bye, i'll see you at lunch." she said.

 

Walking to her desk, I remebered, it's right next to mine.

 

 

Marybella and Rikki came up from their offices.

 

"Why the hell is Sara back in work, didn't you lock her up for stalking you?" Rikki said, giving attitude.

 

"I don't know. But I did. Idon't know who bailed her out, in one day." I replied.

 

Rikki sighed.

 

"All it takes in one wrong move, and the little woman can do anything to mess up your life." Marybella excliamed.

 

 

We all looked at Sara, who was working again.

 

Lauren came to my reception desk. In surprise.

 

"Oh, I guess your here already Sara, keep up the good work." Lauren said smiling.

 

I give Lauren a look.

 

Why is this happening.

 

 

She smiles and heads to Vanessa's office.

 

Rikki and Marybella were giving Sara looks, as we prepared to not hang her in the workplace.

 

"Guys just go back to work, I can handle this." I say.

 

I knew they would keep me safe and worry about me, but we have a lot of work to do before our big trip to Brazil for the hot magazine face off.

 

 

They sigh and slowly leave, eyeing Sara closely.

 

I walk up to Sara's desk after Rikki and Marybella went back to their separate spaces.

 

I stood in front of her desk silently.

 

"Sara can I talk with you, in the conference room."

 

 

She got up and followed me.

 

I shut the door behind her, I got a clear view of her across the room.

 

"Why are you back, why are you here? I told you to leave me alone. Stop stalking me. But I guess you haven't gotten that through your puny little brain." I said suddenly.

 

I'm needing the urge to call Alex and make Sara pay again.

 

"I told you Elle, I was bailed out and released. But I won't be stalking you anymore. I'm back at work and you have to deal with it."

 

She smiled afterwards.

 

"I don't know who the hell you are, but you need to get out of my life this instant. I've done everything I can to make you fit in and even help you out. And in return you stalk me." I say with a gross tone.

 

"Let's keep up the good work." Sara complied.

 

She put her hand out to touch mine, and I don't flinch.

 

 

Sara's P.O.V 

 

 

All the talking and yapping Elle's doing is getting my brain in a knot.

 

I can't blow my cover, I need to lie it off and make it seem believable.

 

I quietly cleared my throat pretending to act ashamed.

 

 

"I used to stalk people, all the time. It was a habit of mine when I was younger. I guess it was beause, after my mom left me in New York, I kinda liked spying on people's lives. It was the only thing that interested me. So i'm sorry, if I took my tactic skills on you too far. But I hope you can forgive me."

 

I looked innocent to make it seem real.

 

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

Sara wasn't good at lying, but I could tell she really meant it.

 

I don't know what she's up to, but I will find out sooner or later. But for now, I need to play nice in order to get the details.

 

"Okay. I forgive you, for now, but I still think there's something shady going on with you." I say to her.

 

Sara reached out her arms.

 

"Hug?" she said with innocent eyes.

 

I scoffed and walked past her.

 

 

As if!

 

After leaving Sara in the conference room, I made a quick call.

 

"Hey, Kyle. I need you to spy on Sara for me, right after work ends. I want you to find out where she's working or  who she's collaborating with. Something's up with her, but I have to find out. If you believe me and if you do this, then I know you care. Look,...we're not friends but we know one person who keeps us tied together." I said silently.

 

"I don't know Elle, I completely trust Sara on everything." Kyle said back.

 

"Listen Kyle!, if you love and trust Sara so much, you'll do this in order to protect her and me from whatever she's trying to do. You do want to be with Sara forever right?"

 

 

Persuading Kyle to think it was something fishy, had to get him in my aim to shoot fire on Sara.

 

If she's planning on doing something to me or on me, I need him.

 

He can keep a close eye on her.

 

"Okay, i'll follow her after work, but only because I love her."

 

Kyle hung up and I turned off my phone.

 

 

Laurnen came up behind me and softly spoke.

 

"Did he get the call?" she asked.

 

"Yes and plan B is on the way. But do you still got plenty of anger riding up to talk on Sara kindly?" I said back.

 

"Raging inferno." she said.

 

"Good Boss," I said.

 

 

We went back to work, finishing the convo.

 

Sara wasn't gonna make me speechless again, not this time.

 

 

After work, I carefully watched Sara go out of the building and walk up the street to Kyle's place.

 

"This is your time Kyle, make it shine." I said.

 

I drove up the street waiting for Kyle's signal.

 

 --

 

Kyle's P.O.V

 

 

"She's entering my building, going up the stairs and heading in." I said into my phone.

 

I can't believe it hurts to do this to Sara, but if it helps protect her and...Elle, then I might be worth it.

 

Sara walks in suddenly.

 

"Hey, how was your day back at work?" I asked, playing cool

 

 

Sara's P.O.V

 

 

"Oh hey Kyle, it was good i'm just gonna head down to the bank."

 

I tried to hide the folders of papers with some info on Elle's case, to put down at the station.

 

If i was really gonna trick Elle into thinking that I used to be a stalker, then I have to use a little homework from work to catch her off guard till the arrest time.

 

"Be back in 10." I said heading out the door.

 

Kyle smiled, watching me leave.

 

 

Kyle's P.O.V

 

"Oh wait! Sara, before you go. I just want to let you know that i'm hanging out with Elle now, so....she's outside waiting for me. I just wanted to make it clear, so i'm not acting suspicious to you."

 

I heard Elle slap her hand on something over the phone, but I turn it off.

 

"Oh, okay. Be sure that she doesn't get you into anything. I can't get you out of it if she's involved. Like running into a ditch or something like that."

 

She smiled and closed the door.

 

--

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

I slapped my hand on my forehead, overhearing Kyle talk to Sara on the phone.

 

I'm waiting in my car, for Sara and Kyle to exit the building.

 

I saw Sara come out first. I decided, I better make an embarassment out of myself to throw her off guard.

 

 

I rolled down my window and shouted.

 

"Hey Sara!! What's up? Hope you don't mind me and Kyle going out. He seems like such a perfect boyfriend."

 

I smiled the whole time as she nervously walked to her car parked out front.

 

 

Kyle came rolling afterwards, waving goodbye to Sara.

 

"Get in." I said to him angrily.

 

Kyle jumped in the passenger seat, as we slowly watch Sara drive off.

 

 

We took a different road, but as soon as she drove downtown. We were on her ass.

 

I followed her down to the other side of New York, when traffic cut us off as soon as Sara parked in front of some strange rundown old police station.

 

 

Soon as traffic ran by, Sara was already back in her car, off to the bank or wherever.

 

"Dang it." I say

 

 

 

I get out of my car following Kyle.

 

I walk up the big steps, into the old rundown building. It was dim and dark like, it had no power in the building.

 

It looked like an old scene from an film set.

 

 

Just then, I saw my name on a dashboard and ran to the desk where it was.

 

There was a file on where my name was.

 

I grabbed the folder and looked through it. Kyle flicked a flashlight, so we can both see.

 

 

This folder has nothing but my information on it and a few blank papers.

 

"I can't believe we chased her down for this." I said in regret.

 

"But why would Sara come down here, to an old police station then go to the bank?" Kyle asked.

 

"Because she's bad like that." I said.

 

 

I packed up the folder and walked towards the exit.

 

"Kyle, you coming?" I said.

 

He looked mysteriously at a visi-screen with no light on it.

 

 

The lighting in the building creeped me out.

 

"Kyle, let's get out of here." I said, running to the exit now.

 

"Okay." Kyle said, slowly walking back to me.

 

 

We got out of the old police station and drove back to Kyle's place.

 

 

"So
