8. It’s What Friends Do, Help Each Other

Natalie was restless after receiving a call from an anonymous person. She sighs. She hears the car pulling up on the drive way. "He's home."

She head downstairs and greet him. "Welcome home, dear." "..Mm." She helps to take off his suit. He loosen his tie. "Pack my suitcase." "Overseas again?" "They have some troubles over there." "I see. I will immediately pack your suitcase. When are you leaving?" "Tonight?" "So soon."

He looks at her. "What is it?" "I just miss Kelly." "No need to worry about her. I already send someone to check it out." Natalie's face brightens. "Thanks dear."

Natalie heads upstairs and pack Michael's clothes. (That person did say Michael will be gone to overseas. Just who is this person? Why is this person against Michael? Once he's gone, I'll go down there to finish the job, that way Kelly will come home.)

Once she's done preparing the suitcase, she bring it downstairs. She sees Michael sitting on the sofa, on the phone. "Anything yet?" He sighs. "Got it. No need to worry. I will come and check it out."

He hangs up the phone. "What's wrong?" He sighs. "Someone set one of the container on fire." "Here's your suitcase." She hand it to him and he took it from her. "I'll be gone for a few days. Watch over the house." She nods.

Michael left and head to the car. Natalie went to see him out as usual. She waves at him but he never look at her. She sighs. As soon as she couldn't see the car, she went back inside.

She grabs her phone and quietly head to the basement. She looks behind her to check if anyone had followed her. Once there's no one, she quickly walks down the stairs to the basement. She holds her breath due to the nasty odor.

She takes a few pictures of the cement floor that has blood stains. She quietly heads to the left side of the basement and takes a few pictures of what's inside and the outside of the freezers.

She can felt a cold sweat coming from her back after witness something horrible. She then heads to the right side and walk very slowly to see if there's anyone over there. The room was dead silent, so she heads right in.

Her eyes widened as soon as she sees a dead body on the table. She covers her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from screaming. Her hand were trembling as she took a photos. She then turn her heels and immediately head to her bedroom without getting caught.

She locks the door and slides against the door. (W-What was that? A d-d-dead body? I'd married to a monster...?!) She quickly lifts her phone and immediately send all of the photos to the anonymous caller.

Natalie writes; "I had done everything you told me to do. I have another condition."

A few minutes later, her anonymous person replies back, "And what is that?"

N: "I want a new identity for myself and my daughter."

A: "If only you and your daughter behaves. Deal?"

Natalie didn't hesitate a bit and send a message, "Deal!"

A: How soon you want your new identity?

N: As soon as possible.

A: Got it.

Natalie permanent deletes all the messages from her phone and save the number as AP into her phone so Michael won't be suspicious of who she's texting to.

Jenny comes back from undercover. She immediately sits down on the sofa due to exhaustion. (Sighhh. Next time I won't do that ever again. So tiring.)

Annie comes into the room with glass of water. "Here." Jenny takes it from Annie and drinks a sip. "How is it going?" "No need to worry. I have it under control. She send me the photos. It will go against Michael; however..." "What is it?" "She wants a new identity for her and her daughter. What's your opinion on that?"

Annie gets up from her seat and walk towards the window, looking out. "All of them deserves the death penalty after what they did to her." Jenny gets up and stand next to Annie. "I'll pull some strings that will leads them into a trap." Annie looks at Jenny. "Janie. Thank you." She shrugs. "It's what friends do. Help each other." Annie hugs Janie's Janie just pats Annie's back.
