His next words were incorrigible , I was only able to make out a sentence.

"i wasn't t..the only one f..following t..that day, t..there's also her, ...danger " The rest of his words trail off as he went still against me , I watched as the life drained out of his eyes .

I took a quick survey of our surroundings , It wasn't a question that whoever the killer is was long gone.The question was why him ?If the person had been after me then why didn't he come for me?

Unless.......

Someone had been here watching us the whole time, probably waiting for me to leave.

I stared at the now lifeless body in my arms .

We weren't friends but it still set my blood roaring that some fucker had used him as a warning to me.

What had been the important thing he had wanted to tell to Gracie?Could it be that it was something else and not trying to help her escape me?

I watched from a distance as the ambulance and cops set tapes across the scene.

I got inside my car prepared to drive off.He had said someone else apart from him had been following us and had referred to the person as a "She "

I started the ignition and the car vibrated to life, I was just about to press on the accelerator when my gaze caught on to something across the street .

It was a black BMW with a tinted glass.

I would recognize that car anywhere.

It belonged to Melissa.

What could she be doing here by this hour?

Chapter SEVENTY

HAYDEN

Just like me, Sebastian also didn't think that Melissa had murdered the detective .

What would he her motive of murdering , even so why would she leave her car so closed by , therefore leaving behind evidence that would lead to her?

I knew her well to be smarter than that, unless she wanted me to think exactly the way I was doing right now.

There were so many gaps that needed to be filled and there wasn't enough time, I so damn needed to get to the bottom of it.

I pushed the door open surprised to find the lights still on, she ought to have been asleep.

I found her bend over the bed, she appeared to be in search for something.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

She jerked at my words and whirled around sharply to face me .
