?Allison’s POV?
.
I dashed out of the company, heading to the car when I bumped into someone in my hastiness. A purse fell and I hastily picked it up.
“Are you b-
“I’m sorry!” I cut off her harsh words, throwing her purse into her palm and only catching a quick glimpse of her face; I rushed to the car, I could see her still staring at me but I pushed it aside and started the car, driving out of the building.
Confirmed that I was miles away from the company, I released a heavy breath.
Reminiscing back at the company’s event, I hoped that security guy had woken up before anyone would seen him unconscious. Anthony had said, he’d be conscious the moment I give the antidote and will barely remember recent events; I hope it goes that way.
I stared at the big brown envelope on the passengers side of the car and a smile tug at the corner of my lip. Thinking about it now, I realized the risk I had taken, the dangerous extra measure I had embarked on to get that file. Truly, anger sure makes one lose their minds, I would never have gone that far if I was in my right state of mind.
I got to Anthony’s location and parked the car before picking up the envelope, looking around for suspicious movement and finding none; I made me way to the bushy path and to the doorstep. I put the pin and entered.
As I entered into the room, Anthony gave me a relieved look and I waved the envelope at his face, he smiled deeply and stood up.
“I knew you’d do it!” He squealed, taking the envelope from me. “Sorry about the troubles you had to go through”
I took off the mask
“I had to. I’m glad I did it too” I said, smiling. He opened the envelope and began perusing through it. I dart my gaze around the room.
“Where’s Jonas?” I asked and he looked up from the envelope, at me.
“He left” he replied.
“Left?” I repeated and he nodded. “He must’ve been too worried about me,” I sighed “I have to go now, Anthony” I said.
“Allison?” He called before I could take off the cloth.
“Yes?” I answered.
“Jonas; be careful of him. I know you trust him cos he saved and helped you but, you shouldn’t get too close to him” he said.
“What’re you talking about?” I asked, my brows curved in a confused position.
“I’m just saying you should be more careful. In this, we can’t trust anyone more than ourselves” he said.
“Ah, I get it.. You’re scared Jonas might be a traitor?” I asked. “Trust me, Anthony. He isn’t. I’ve lived long enough with him and I know him more than you do, he want Gavin brought to Justice as much as we do” I assured, waving off his words as I took the dress off ; revealing another beneath. I began loosening ny hair.
“Allison, I just want you to be careful. It’s wrong to trust a stranger completely, you barely know this Jonas guy”
“Okay okay, I get it. I’ll be careful, don’t worry” I said. “And that reminds me, yesterday, I heard your doctor brother talk about a surgery you were supposed to be preparing for, what is that about?” I asked.
“Oh..I was preparing for surgery before I got your call and when I found out it was you; I knew I had to handle this issue first before anything else. I’ll just go on with it when this is over and the right people are in jail” he said, sounding so confident.
“Oh.. I see. So is there anything else I have to do?” I asked.
“None that I can think of now. Well, except preparing to speak as a witness and victim in court, of course. There’s enough evidence to bring him to court” he said, relaxing into the chair.
I sighed in relief “that’s great. Don’t forget to call me if anything else comes up” I said and he nodded. He took out a smaller envelope from a drawer.
“Here, use this for your transport” he said, stretching the envelope to me. I took it.
“Thank you,” I said.
“I should be the one thanking you, you did a lot” he said. “Thank you” he said.
“I’m only doing everything for my parent, so it’s fine” I said and he nodded.
“Alright, I’m leaving now” I said.
“Okay. Be safe, okay?” He said and I nodded.
I walked out of the room and began my journey home, taking a bus heading straight to the town where Jonas house was located.

?Jonas POV?
.
With shaky hand, I stretch my palm towards the bottle of vodka, took a hold of it and took a greedy gulp at it, ignoring the itch at my throat, I grabbed my phone; my sight starting to get blurry.
I turned it on and checked the time, it was almost past noon and Allison isn’t home yet. Did Anthony tell her the truth already and she decided to keep off?
Is she probably on her way to the station to get the cops on me or could Gavin had caught her instead?
I took another sip from the vodka; will she hate me now?
I took the vodka and placed my head on the table; as it was starting to get too heavy for my neck to carry, my sight was almost completely blur and I blinked, my thought moved back to Anthony’s words.
***FLASHBACK***
Anthony pointed the gun towards my head and stood up, taking a step towards me.
“How long do you plan to keep it away from her?” He asked.
“Do you plan on killing me?” I asked.
“Killing you?” He repeated. “No”
“Then are you going to tell her?”
I studied the gun, I could grasp it from him if I wanted to.
“I won’t burst your bubble just yet, Jonas and that’s because I know you can’t hurt Allison just yet. The way you defend and protect her, your eagerness to enter the danger zone for her, even the fact that you saved her life and housed her; I know you feel something more complex than care for her,” he said. “I’ve been studying you right from the moment you stepped into this place,” he added, lowering the gun. “But we’re human, and our feelings seem to change anytime, yours and mine inclusive. I might decide to burst your bubble anytime and you might hurt her too, anytime but you’ll still be the one losing anyways. You know Gavin won’t let you live once he finds out that you kept her alive,” he said and let out a slight chuckle. “It’s complicated for you now” he scoffed and my palm curled to tight fists at my side. I gave him a hard look and walked out of the building, anger racing down my body.
**End of flashback**
“Jonas?” My head snapped up from the table and I almost fell but Allison was quick to hold me. “Are you drunk?” She asked and I held her close and checked her face, expecting to see the anger flashing from her eyes but it was calm.
Is my sight deceiving me or is it the alcohol.
“A-Allison?” I called, my voice coming out cold.
“It’s me, Jonas. Why are you drunk?” She asked, touching my face.
“I was…waiting for..you” I slurred.
“I know, I’m sorry but I’m here now and I’m fine” she said.
“Allison..I have to tell you something?” I said, trying to steady my voice. “I used to work for Gavin” I said, before checking her face for her expression.
“What?,” she said. “Jonas, you’re drunk” she stated.
“No, I’m serious,” I said. “I work for Gavin too!”
Her brows narrowed deeply as her face bore a sour expression.
