Mike felt euphoric, it had been years since he did something like this but the satisfaction he felt when he dug his knife into him made the hair on his body stand.

He would have liked to put a bullet through his head but he couldn't do that unfortunately.

Kyle made sure he ran out of bullets and he didn't have another cartridge to reload his gun with.

Heck, he didn't even know he would need it in the first place but Kyle found a way to wriggle out of the situation but he was glad that he was dead now.

"Jane, I wonder how you are..." Mike said, staring at her name on his phone but he decided to give her a call nonetheless.

Her phone rang a couple of times but there was no answer until the automated voice took him to voice note but Mike wasn't interested in this.

He tried again and this time she picked up but she sounded distraught, Mike assumed that this was because of Kyle's disappearance as there was no way someone of his status disappearing for the entire day wouldn't go unnoticed.

"Are you okay?" Mike wore the mask of a friend but Jane's voice was cracked.

[[I'm not okay, Mike...]] Jane confessed, there was no point in lying about it.

"What's wrong? Do you have a cold or have you been crying?" Mike questioned.

He wanted to confirm that things were going according to plan, if she could talk then there was no way that Kyle's death had reached her or she would have shut down.

[[It is Kyle...]] Jane stopped herself from completing the sentence but before she could complete it, a sign of struggle could be heard there.

"Um... Jane? Are you okay?" Mike questioned. Find your next read on m_v l|e-novelhall.net

[[Mike, leave her alone. She's in no state to talk to you...]] Ella barked but she didn't hang up the phone because Jane took it back soon after.

"Ella really doesn't like me, does she?" Mike laughed it off.

The surgery had sewed together the torn flesh and the ruptured intensities within.

Jane and Ella spent the entire night there, it was understandable that Jane did this but Ella had no reason to.

She could easily support her friend from a distance so was she here because of Jane or Kyle?

Ella warned Jane to cut down on her communication with Mike because it might be deemed inappropriate to give him access to everything that was going on in her life, she knew that Jane might not see it as a big deal but this was mostly due to her inexperience but this was why she was here– to guide her.

She wasn't going to let Jane ruin what she had with Kyle with someone as inconsequential as Mike.

Ella was becoming stern in her stance and even though Jane didn't like it, she understood where Ella was coming from.

You can't be friends with someone that has shown an interest in you, the friendship ends there and then.

This was either Jane being hopeful or simply being nice but it wasn't helping her relationship with Kyle.

She needed to show Kyle what she was all about and hope that qualifies her to be his girlfriend.

The police officers were still lingering about and Nate came as early as he could to see how Kyle was doing.

"Good morning mate," Ella greeted but the way she pronounced it made it hard for him to pick out the connotation.

"Hi Ella, how're you?" Nate greeted her, she hadn't showered or freshed up yet she still looked so good.

Nate was surprised but before he could be drawn in fully, he looked over at Jane to greet her as well.

He could tell by a single look who was more affected by this, Jane had been crying and it was obvious due to her bloodshot eyes.

But a police officer finally approached them

after a brief conversation with the doctor.
