Weeks went by fast and there was no news on crazy Ruby.
It's almost like she dropped off the face of the planet and this terrified them more. They spoke to her parents and they hadn't seen her in months and they were equally worried.
Katie and James were practically living together, they either stayed at Katie's apartment or James' penthouse. Katie started working at Little and she was finally feeling like her self again.
James has been on a business trip for two days now because he didn't think anything could go wrong.
Katie was in Catherine's office going over the terms budget when Jeremy dashed in waving his phone around.
"Have you seen this?" Handing the phone over to Katie. There was a video playing on the phone...
On the screen was a lady surrounded by arms and drugs, the video changed this time around she was in a room field with teenage children cowering. Up till now her face hadn't been shown, the screen moved up till the lady's face was clearly shown.
"Shit!" Katie cursed. "I guess it's time to rue."
"Seems Ruby is back! Damn how did we not see it coming." Jeremy exclaimed.
"Katie, you need to get out of here. That's a video making it seem like you are cartel queen of some sorts, which means the police already have a warrant for your arrest." Catherine interjected.
"I can't run won't that make matters worse?"
"If you are arrested, you won't come out alive. Jade, you need to go!" They all turned towards Samuel who had suddenly appeared.
They hurriedly took the elevator to the roof where a helicopter was waiting for them.
"It will be okay, I promise. I will speak to mum and dad and explain it all. You'll be safe."
Hugging her friends and brother with tears in eyes, why couldn't she just be happy.
She had a great job, apartment, amazing friends and family. She had James, everything was supposed to be perfect but now she was back in the darkness.
Katie felt all hope leave her as she flew away from her life. She wasn't sure if she could pull through this time around, she felt herself slip further into this hopelessness.
In Italy,
James was coming out of a meeting when his assistant ran up to him with shaking hands showing him the video circulating.
Dropping everything he went straight to the airport but his her wasn't cleared for flight yet, he ran to buy a ticket but there was only economy seats left. Buying the tickets and boarding the plane, he wasn't sure how he was going to survive hours in this plane.
His girl needed him
She needed him.
At Little,
An hour after Katie left the police swarmed the building looking for her, turned her office upside down looking for evidence and thoroughly investigated Catherine who was here as Rose. Samuel and Jeremy had left before the police arrived.
Being the type of person she was, you couldn't easily investigate Rose.
"How well do you know you employee, Jade Zhou otherwise known as 'Ruthless Jade'?" The police officer questioned.
"Ruthless Jade? That's not even a clever name." Rose answered in her oh so lovely nonchalant manner.
"Ma'am I suggest you corporate."
"Ma'am? Are you insane? Do I look like a ma'am?" The room suddenly became cold, the detective didn't realize he was shaking at Rose's sudden change in aura.
"She was great, very punctual." Easily switching to her nonchalance Rose answered.
"Do you have anything you could tell us that could help with the investigation?"
"Oh I do, hmm... But I'm having a hard time remembering.... Let me think..." This continued for ten more minutes. "Oh my bad, I can't seem to recall anything useful."
Having completely wasted their time Catherine bid them farewell and also left Little.
She drove to Samuels brownstone where most of their friends were watching the live investigation, they were currently showing Katie's apartment which had clearly been tampered with.

They found huge stacks of cash all around the house, bags of drugs, giving them enough evidence to send out the countries largets search team to look for 'Ruthless Jade'.
"What do we do now?" Whispered Anna.
no one had any ideas except Catherine that is but she needed her brother and the Zhou family to corporate.
"She was finally happy, but they had to once again bring her down. What's Ruby's problem with Katie anyway? Why do through so much stress?" Cindy said.
"Ruby is just a pawn!" Catherine and Nathan said simultaneously.
Truly she was just a pawn, someone much bigger was behind thus. They just needed a stupid, naive and desperate girl, someone who didn't mind doing anything - like changing her face just for a boy or going to prison for life for real criminal acts and Ruby was perfect
