The Last Embrace

"I want to focus first on his only child, his daughter. He never married anyone, yet he had lots of affairs with women. I"m sure he had been getting in touch with his daughter through the years. It got me thinking, what was their means of communication?" Jessy wondered.

"For a start, they could be using mobile phones, messaging app, or seeing each other in a secluded place. The possibility is endless..." Oliver guessed.

"You"re right. Since we already had the daughter"s address, I want to see her and find out where she lives so that I can visit her house and execute a mind-reading session while she was sleeping in bed," she revealed her plan.

"No problem. The daughter"s name is Amanda, she had a four years old son and has recently divorced from her previous husband, just last year. She"s working as a teacher in a local kindergarten school thirty minutes drive from her apartment," Oliver elaborated. "Shall we go now to see her?" he asked her.

Jessy nodded her head. "Yeah, let"s go there now!"

Oliver went to his room and put his stuff in his sling bag, then he exited the room. "I"m ready! Let"s go!"

They went out of the apartment, boarded Oliver"s car in the parking lot of the building, and began their journey heading to their destination.

Forty-five minutes later.

They arrived at Little Kids Kindergarten School.

Oliver found a place to park his car.

They exited the vehicle and strolled towards the cafe that was located in front of the school to pa.s.s their idle time while waiting for the end of the cla.s.s.

They had chosen the table having the front view of the school.

"What"s your order?" asked Oliver.

"Just one piece of Apple Pie and Iced Mocha," Jessy replied.

"I"ll have Salted Caramel Mocha," said Oliver. He went to the cashier and made an order.

Two hours later, Jessy was getting restless on her seat. The waiting is killing her. "How many minutes left before the school ends?" she asked impatiently.

Oliver watched at the first bath of the children accompanied by their guardian getting out of the gate of the school. "Look...the school is starting to release the kids to go home. We"ll be seeing Amanda getting out of the school soon," he said.

Jessy gazed at the gate of the school and was relieved. "Finally..." she muttered to herself.

One hour later, all the kids have left for home.

The teachers and staffs were the last to leave the school premises.

"Look over there, that blond woman wearing an eyegla.s.s, she is our girl, Amanda!" Oliver motioned his head to the woman who was now boarding a taxicab.

Jessy watched the woman before she disappeared inside the taxi.

Oliver rose to his feet. "Let"s get back in my car and follow her to her home so that you will know where she was residing and you can spy on her any time of the day, on your own accord."

"Alright," Jessy agreed.

They left the cafe and went back to Oliver"s car.

Thirty minutes later.

Oliver parked his car in a convenience store. "Let"s walk from here and I will bring you to her apartment on the next block."

They strolled in the pathway leading to the next block.

They arrived near to Amanda"s apartment.

"You see that door # 3, that is where Amanda lives together with her 4 years old son."

"Who takes care of her son when she goes to work every day?"

"According to our informant, she got a teenage girl who is a stay out nanny. That nanny only takes care of the son from Monday to Friday and goes home after Amanda arrived at the apartment from work. That was their arrangement," Oliver supplied the info.

Jessy nods her head. "Okay, let"s go back to your car. I will transform myself into my invisible form and enter her house," she said.

They retraced their steps and walked back to the convenience store where they parked the car, they get inside the vehicle and from there, Jessy, transformed herself into her invisible self.

Oliver exited the car and get inside the convenience store to buy a soda.

Meanwhile, Jessy entered Amanda"s apartment.

She saw Amanda handing some money to the teenage nanny.

The nanny bid goodbye to Amanda and exited the apartment going home.

Amanda picked up her son from the floor and prepared solid food for him in the kitchen.

Jessy roamed around the house in silence.

She was trying to find traces of Jason Garcia in his daughter"s home.

One hour and thirty minutes later, she gives up, she can"t find anything that would give her a clue of the whereabouts of Amanda"s father.

She watched as Amanda and her son plays Lego toys on the carpeted floor of the living room while a nursery song was being played in the background.

Maybe, she will just come back in the evening and freeze Amanda during her sleep and read her mind. That would be a better alternative for her and the best plan that she can think of as of this moment.

Since there"s nothing worth investigating inside the house, she teleported back to Oliver"s car that was parked in front of the convenience store.

A minute later, Oliver came outside the store holding bottle soda in his hand, he entered the car and looked at Jessy. "Any good news?"

Jessy shook her head. "Nothing so far. I will come back tonight at 10:00 to spy again and read her mind," she answered.

"Do you still need my a.s.sistance tonight?" he asked.

"Not necessary. I will come to your apartment or call you on the phone if I discover something worth digging from Amanda"s memory tonight," she replied. "You may go back now to your apartment and wait for my call," she suggested.

Oliver smiled. "Copy, partner! I"m going to the mall to buy some grocery and personal stuff," he said. "And how about you?"

"I will go back to the Facility and come back tonight," Jessy responded. "I will leave now..."

A few minutes later, Jessy disappeared from the car.

Oliver started the engine and drove away from the area, going to the nearest mall.

...

Jessy landed in her room in the mansion. She had lots of time to kill before going back to Amanda"s place, which would be later at 10:00 in the evening.

She looked over the window and saw Grandpa Waldo watering his vegetable garden.

She went to her bed and lie down to rest for a moment.

Fifteen minutes later...

Ah, she will pay Adam a quick visit later!

She will sleep for 2 to 3 hours then visit Adam in the prison room.

She closed her eyes to sleep.

Two hours later.

Jessy woke up to a dark room. She witched on the light and think of where to eat dinner?

She will go to the city and buy a takeout meal and bring it to Adam in the prison room.

After combing her hair, she tied her hair in a ponytail style.

Done, she picked up her sling bag and switch off the light, plunging back the room in darkness.

She teleported herself into the city and landed in a dark alley, her favorite landing area of the city.

She strolled casually into the busy street, enter a seafood restaurant, and made a large order of seafood platter which is a mixture of Lobsters, Crab, Clams, Oysters, Prawns, and also includes the dressing, sauce, lemons, and rice with one liter of chilled soda.

She waited for fifteen minutes until the takeout order was delivered by the smiling waiter in her table.

She rose to her feet, grabbed the plastic bag containing her takeout, and went to the toilet to teleport from there.

A few minutes later.

Jessy landed inside the prison room, she smiled brightly when she saw Adam doing push up in the floor. "Adammm...I"m here for a visit!"

"Jessy...!" Adam rose from the floor and smiled happily at his girlfriend. "What are you bringing with you?"

Jessy placed the plastic bag in the chair and arranged the contents into the table. "I bought a Seafood Platter for our dinner. I hope you"ll like it," she looked at the foods and salivated.

"Wow! Seafood, my favorites! Wait, I will take a quick shower first because I"m sweaty," he said and entered the bathroom quickly.

Ten minutes later.

Adam exited the bathroom, took some clothes from the closet, and donned the garments on his body.

He energetically went to the table and sat on the chair beside Jessy. "Let"s start our dinner!"

"Oh yeah...!" Jessy responded.

They began eating the mouthwatering seafood platter with gusto.

One hour later, they were done eating and put the clutter away.

The couple settled in the bed and engaged in a cuddle.

"How"s the world outside?" Adam inquired.

"Still the same," she answered.

He planted a kiss on her forehead. "How about the blood transfusion?"

"The blood transfusion continuous daily," she lied while playing with the tiny hair on his chest.

They gazed at each other"s eyes for a moment, then Adam"s mouth claimed her lips for a pa.s.sionate kiss.

In the next few minutes, they kissed and luxuriated in each other embrace and murmured sweet words to each other.

Until... It"s now time for Jessy to leave the room.
