1 It's just Business.

It all started on a dark stormy night, haha I'm kidding...

"Damn alarm isn't loud enough, now I'm late..." around 9:00 am Erin, tall with her grey -green eyes and shoulder length jet black hair was running late, again. Quickly grabbing her coat, locking the door she rushes to her 67' Chevrolet Impala and drives to work.

"Good morning Ma'am, there's a meeting about to start Mr. Jorah requested it, we should hurry" Sebastian, Erin's assistant immediately started talking when Erin walked into the building.

"Mmm no no, Sebastian I need coffee first I cannot deal with Jonathan and the board without coffee" Erin yawned and sat down in her comfortable office chair.

The coffee she demanded was already set on the desk she thanked him and sipped the bitter brew. "Any news Sebastian?"

Her gaze reached Sebastian after no reply, he was shifting his weight staring at a pen on the desk as if it was the most fascinating thing. "I... I found a lead... ma'am... on your.."

"Mm.. has she moved from the last location?" Erin's face was expressionless as soon as Sebastian mentioned HER, showing emotion when it came to that would ruin the image Erin spent years rebuilding.

"Nevermind we'll discuss this later, I have a meeting to attend don't I?" She stood up and left for the boardroom before Sebastian could say anything.

Throughout the meeting Erin was zoning out. Memories of HER always find a to creep back into her mind and distract her from the present.

"Miss Shaw, would you like to join us in the meeting or would you like to stare out the window?" Mr. Jorah called her out. He then gestured to the board members who were looking at her seated at the head of the table.

"Hmm? no I think I'm good just continue with your babble Joe, and next time you talk to me like that you're fired" She gestured for him to continue.

"Yes ma'am... it's Jorah not Joe ma'am..." he mumbled as she stood from her seat to leave.

Sebastian who saw the exchange from the door was giggling. If his boss was in a bad mood this early in the morning there was bound to be some lunchtime gossip if it continued. "*ahem* Ma'am are you going to scout the location now... I already prepared your car."

Erin's hand stopped on the door knob of her corner office. She was hesitant to say yes. It has already been 4 years since SHE disappeared after the incident... Should she stop searching and move on, or find HER and get answers. "Yes, we are going" Erin finally said with her voice full of determination.

--------

Sebastian handed her the keys to her car and waved her goodbye. When she was far away enough a sinister grin appeared on his face, his blue eyes burnt with an evil flame.

[Goodbye boss, hope to never see you again. if my plan works she'll be in the morgue by tomorrow...it was great doing business with you..]

He turned on his heel and walked back into the building smiling as if he's the luckiest man alive.

---------

<"why...*cough* why are you... doing this.." Erin's voice was weak as she spoke through the pain of having a knife lodged in her side.

"You idiot you really think I loved you? *ha!* I merely used you to capture my target successfully." SHE looked down at Erin as if she was lower than a human being.

"This... isn't you *cough* what happened... to you... please don't go" Erin couldn't her stop tears from falling. "What did 'K' even see in you? You're a worthless fool. Bye Bye Rin" The woman blew a kiss to the bleeding Erin and walked away.>

[ I will find you, I don't care how long it takes. I will find you.] Erin gripped the steering wheel and sped up.
