Continue Coffee...

"They must be waiting for me to take a bite, so i do."

Cindy: you do realize how awkward it is to eat while people stare at you, think ?

Cindy: That's what people say to avoid offending somebody.

Cindy: Face it, Julie. Your best recipe is a peanut butter jully sandwich.

Julie: Hey!'

Katie: You're both great at cooking!

"Julie blushes."

Jimmy: Seriously you're an amazing cook.

Katie: Don't ruin this for her Cindy.

( . . . )

Julie leans in and looks at me expectantly, as I grab the dessert fork.

Cindy: yeah. Try it. we have medicine here in case you get a stomachache.

Jimmy: Amazing.

( it really was amazing)

Julie: Jimmy, I will definitely set some time to cook dinner for you.

( That sounds amazing, but i don't want her to feel obliged.)

Jimmy: That's existing.

Julie: Jimmy, how were your errands yesterday?

Jimmy: Everything's good. I updated the surveillance cameras and bought new locks.

"Julie and Katie stands up."

Julie: We have to get going. We're going to be late for school.

Julie: Alright.

Jimmy: Let me get the car keys.

Katie: You don't need to driver us today. we'll catch the school bus.

Jimmy: Are you sure?

"We start walking. The bus stop is just a few blacks away from the house."

Julie: I like that you're protective.

"Julie laugh."

Cindy: I'm not surprised. You're always unbelievable.

Jimmy: I understand she's your friend, but i hope you realize how dangerous it is and I hope you know where I'm coming from.

Cindy: Ready to go?

Jimmy: i- uh, if you say so.

Jimmy: I'm almost there.

Jimmy: you're probably the first person I've told this to but...

Cindy: But when you do learn to trust us, please know you can tell us anything.

Jimmy: I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

Cindy: I can't wait for the day you can trust us the way we trust you now.

Jimmy: I know. I just want to remind you how you should be trusted.

Jimmy: Some ladies tend to forget their value when they lose a father.

"Cindy is still blushing."

Cindy: I will. Thank you.

Jimmy: what time should I pick up the three of you?

Cindy: Same time as usual.

Jimmy: I want you to do what you want to do, but I'm worried.

Cindy: We'll be fine, I promise.

Jimmy: I'll walk you out.

"Later that afternoon...

( it's still 10 minutes before they usually come out.)

"As I sit in the car, i hear a girl's voice shouting somewhere nearby."

(Julie...!)

"I immediately start the car and pull out my phone. I leave a voice message to Cindy and Katie."

Julie's hands are tied behind a chair. I panic when I notice that she's sitting slumped on the chair, unconscious.

( what did he do to her?!)

"He pulls out the gun, but misses his shot."

"I shoot his leg, and he cripples to the floor, His gun falls from his hands and lands a few feet away"

( I need to reach it first before he does...!)

"I decide to follow the culprit quietly and attack him from behind. I grab his neck with my forearm, choking him."

"He grabs my arms that are around his neck, and drops his gun."

Jimmy: if anything happened to her, I swear I'm going to kill you and I'm going to enjoy it.

"Without saying a world, he forcefully strike his elbow directly at my stomach."

Jimmy: Ow!

"I run and slide to kick the gun away as far as possible."

"I stab his leg with my pocket knife, and he cripples to the floor in pain."

Jimmy: Wake up. please...

( She's not waking up...)

Jimmy: Tell me exactly who I'm messing with. Who hired you?

"The culprit smirks."

culprit: I've seen you quite a few times. You were the popular one.

culprit: You're the one my master was so fond of.

culprit: He used say that you're the most skilled assassin he has ever known.

culprit: You don't have any idea how proud he was of you.

( Could he possibly be referring to my master?)

Jimmy: who hired you to do this?

culprit: You see, we take orders from the person.

( Why is my Master so desperate to have these three sisters killed?)

( How far will he go to have them killed?)

( if master is behind all this, their lives really are in danger...)

culprit: it would be a shame to kill a colleague and betray your Master twice, wouldn't it?

Jimmy: That won't matter when I kill you.

culprit: This is not about me. I just obeyed an order.

culprit: I simply did my job.

(who is he taking orders from?)

( Sometimes life is not that easy. it's not black and white.)

Jimmy: Tell me who hired you to do this.

Jimmy: What do you mean?

culprit: What I mean was you're getting yourself in so much trouble.

( Should I let him go?)

( what should I do?)

"Julie notice I'm hesitating, so she slices the cake using a fork and brings it in front of my mouth."

Julie: Go on. Take a bite.

Jimmy: What made you say that?

Jimmy: What have you done to her?

culprit: Easy, lover boy. She's just asleep.

"When I wake up, i hear movement in the kitchen, so I decide to go in there and join them."

Jimmy: Good morning!

Julie: Did you rest well?

Jimmy: I did. How about you?

Julie: Slept better knowing someone is looking after us.

Jimmy: That's good to hear.

Cindy: Were you okay with the bed?

Jimmy: I'm getting used to it now.

Julie: What's wrong? is it uncomfortable? Do you want a different mattress?

Julie: That must have been tough.

Katie: We completely understand.
