ON THE RUN

Talia's POV.

I was having my usual coffee at my favourite cafe downtown when something caught my eye ;
This man is a retired mercenary who served for a private security company in Europe. It's also said that he was in our country illegally and is among the top five most wanted by the FBI. The latest reports confirm that he is working with the Russian mafia...

Sitting there watching the same thing just made me lose my appetite. I pushed aside the cup of coffee and grabbed my phone and was about to call Prem but suddenly stopped to watch the news displayed on the screen.

"I can assure you, we have everything under control. We have some new leads that hopefully will bring this man down." I wondered what Sean had down now.

For months now have been trying to avoid thinking of him but apparently, the media makes it so hard for me. I saw his photo on the screen and I just smiled remembering back when I was arrested. If only I had taken a selfie with him, at least will be both famous.

'But you would be s fugitive dummy' subconscious mind said.

"At least I would get to be with him daily" I comforted myself.

"Any comments regarding your partner's murder detective? "

That statement snapped me out of my thoughts and I was watching Jack standing at the police press conference answering all the media questions. He was in a police uniform judging by it could say he was promoted. His chestnut brown hair was shaved to a military fade and his scruffy beard was gone and on a different circumstance, I would have said he looked sharp.

I eyed him as he stared directly at the camera with his blue eyes then pointed a finger before dropping the bombshell. "Alex! Oliver! Whoever you are or what name you are using now, I promise, I will find you and trust you me You will rot in jail for the crimes you committed. Mark my words!"

To say I was least surprised that's an understatement.

"Detective? Does that mean the mysterious man is responsible for the murder of the late detective?"

Jack proudly nodded. "Yes. We have enough proof we need to lock him up for good. To the public, if anyone spots him please call the number that appears on the screen and you'll be rewarded heftily that's all for now! " He walked away.

I honestly didn't believe him and just shook my head at the thought. Maybe I was not thinking with my head but my heart which screamed all way through. 'Sean!' The more I heard about him, the more I fell hard. You can't blame the heart who it falls for even if it was a stranger you just met!

Stranger! What did you do to me?' I murmured as I stood up grabbing my purse.

Just as I was about to leave, Ryan walked in with a chic dressed in a green mini dress and unluckily, he spotted me. "Talia! Hey good to see you" He remarked.

"Hey, Ryan!" 'Not so good to see you, Idiot!' I wanted to scream that but I pretended to smile.

"So, how have you been?"

The chic next to him touched him as if marking her territory. If she only knew, she had nothing to worry about because that territory was not my kind of thing anymore.

"Better than ever actually"

The chic began. "Baby..would you introduce me to your friend?"

I mentally laughed. "No need, we aren't friends. He's my ex and by the looks of it your current. Well guys, nice chit chat! Bye!" I walked past them leaving the chic dumbfounded.
