Mess With Me

Dawn met them with uncertainties.

Reyona woke up as she felt someone covering them up.

It was Jane.

“Good morning, ma” the nanny greeted her just as Maxwell stirred too.

“I can't believe I actually dozed off.” He said tersely.

Reyona patted his arm as she said “You needed it.”

They started the day with a call to the police station again.

Nothing yet.

Andrew and Celia arrived that morning with three other men whom the couple called experts in cases like that.

While the men discussed in Maxwell's office, Celia urged Reyona to walk with her.

“You don't look too well,” she said after they walked in silence for a while, “Have you slept a wink since it happened?”

“Actually, I slept for a while,” Reyona said. “Didn't think I would, but then…” she shrugged.
