Midday inside his small studio apartment, Valley wakes up from his deep slumber, he had stayed up the previous night, he had some work that needed his attendance, he sat upright on his sofa holding his hands, "ah **, this head is killing me" he said groaning, he got up from the sofa and walked to his tiny kitchen, he picked up a cup from the sink rinsed it before pouring water on it, he took some painkillers for his head and gulped it down with a glass of water. Valley walked back to his small living area, he stared at the bloody kitchen knife on his coffee table for a while before picking it up, the previous night events playing in his head on a loop, that was his job, it was what he was doing for a living, if anyone needed someone to be murdered he was the man to call, two days ago he received a call requesting for the murder of Pete Vegas, son to the city mayor, once given a task he did ask questions or anything, he just did as asked receive his payment and call it, he did not to get involved in their issues.

Dressed in a black jacket and head covered with a black hat, Valley Left his small studio apartment, he walked down to a small shop around the corner where he usually picks up his payment, "here you go, seems you did a good job last night" the old man who owned the small shop said handing him a white filled envelope containing his payment, Valley took his money and left, he was never a man of many words, not even fewer words, he was a man of no words.

Out of groceries, Valley decided to stop by the store to buy some food essentials needed, he picked a shopping carrier and started walking around the store picking up what he wanted. Valley was standing in line for the cashier waiting for his turned when someone bumped on him, "oh sorry, Im sorry, sorry" Said the woman bumped on him, Valleys eyes shot wide open and he immediately looked down, he was afraid the woman who just bumped into him could recognized him, the previous night, he had left her sleeping in bed after dealing with Pete and wasn sure if he saw him or not.

While Valley was familiar with her, Anne was not, he was a total stranger to her, although she was in the scene when he murdered Pete, but she was deep in her sleep that could not even hear the poor mans cries, "Im sorry" one more time, Anne said and left carrying on with her business.

Valley stared at the woman for a while studying her that he forgot he was in line, "hey will you move" the old woman behind pushed him nagging, "we don have time to waste here", Valley bent his head gesturing an apology and moved forward, it was his turned to get served by the cashier.

Outside the store, Valley stood by the glass window watching the woman shopping with a friend, While picking up something from a shelve that was facing the opposite direction of the window, Regina noticed the man black watching them, he had a creepy psychopath look that scared Regina to her spine "Anne, the guy you bumped into earlier on is watching us, I don think we should leave the store by ourselves" a paranoid Regina said poking her friend,

"what?" Anne turned and looked at the window, but he was long gone, "what man?" she asked, Regina was left dumbfounded.

Anne and Regina walked to their car after they were done with their shopping, Regina was looking around as she walked to the car, she was really insecure and was afraid the man on the window could attack them at any moment, "will stop worrying, even if he indeed has some grudge with us, Im pretty sure he won attack us in broad daylight" Anne said calming her friend down Regina nodding in agreement but still kept looking around just in case.

In a dark narrow alley next to the store, Stood Valley watching the car with the two women drive off, sure his identity was not exposed, he exhaled in relief and made his way back to his studio apartment.

Late in the night, Anne shut down her computer, she was done with her work for the day, she got up stretching herself, she was tired, she had been through a lot since morning, all she could think of was her warm bed back at home, she was on her way when her phone inside her coat pocket started ringing, "Detective Harry" answered Anne with her low tone, "Ms. Witherspoon, I know its late but I just wanted to check if you are doing fine", Anna placed her palm on her forehead gently rubbing it shaking her head, "Im fine, thank you for your concern detective Harry"

"Im outside your office I was wondering if I could take you home", again Anne placed her palm over her forehead looking down, she was not in the mood for anything or anyone, "its ok Detective Harry, no need to take me home, Im fine, I know you are busy and I don want to take your time that could have really been useful in solving the Murder case just so you could take me home, nevertheless thank you Detective" Lengthy, Anne said and ended the call.

On her way out of her office building, right outside Anne ran into Detective Harry, "Detective Harry, I told you, you don have to drop me off, I have my car"

"I know, I just wanted to make sure you are safe, we haven still caught the culprit and who knows if he will be coming after you"

"thank you for your concern and everything but Im good" Anne said and walked to her car immediately driving off.

Anne arrived back home and went straight up to her bedroom, she was much tired, she had a long exhausting day every part of her aching body dreading a good sleep. That sweet heavy sleep was slowly getting to her, she fixed her deeper in her warm duvet waiting to fall into deep slumber when the door to her bedroom opened her nephew walking in holding a tray with her dinner on it, "wake up aunty, you do not expect me to let you sleep without having anything food" Micheal said placing the food tray on her bedside table, Anne uncovered herself groaning, "seriously mike, Im so tired I don think I can even eat, just let me sleep, uh, ok, I won die if I miss just one dinner, k", Anne said and covered herself again, Michael grabbed the end of the duvet pulling it uncovering his Aunt, "no way aunty, eat something first then you can sleep, or else I will just call Mom and tell her how someone left his precious son soaking in the rain", Anne glared at Michael every curse words going through her head. Threatened, Anne got out of bed to have her dinner.
