Shattered Bonds: Secrets and Lies

Chapter 43: Improvements

The next day, Troy came in early. He gives him the pictures he took of Daven.

" He looks familiar, doesn't he? " He asked paging to the next picture.

" Yes young master, he does. Remember the time you asked to look for people with the name Dave..."

" Oh yeah, now I remember. What's their relationship? "

" Currently, I don't know young master." He answered in a respectful manner.

" Who is he? What does he do? " Lloyd was eager to get his hand on this man. No one can take Brittney away from him.

" He works at this restaurant, he's a delivery guy."

" Perfect. " he smirked and drinks his coffee.

...

The delivery was going well for Daven. For the first time he actually enjoys it. Thinking of yesterday, it was really fun. Him and Brittney had a lot of fun together playing games. Even though he kept losing to

Brittney in almost all the games, he really enjoyed it.

' We must do this often. That way no one will get sad. ' He smiles when Brittney's laughter and smile appeared in his mind. Seeing how happy she was made Daven enjoy his life for the first time in a while. '

Oh this woman. What is she turning me into? '

Brittney was glowing than ever that everyone noticed it. Daven and her really made a great improvement yesterday. When she held his hand out of fear yesterday, she expected him to remove her hand but instead

he tightened the grip and smiled at her. Throughout the night he was being affectionate towards her.But one thing confusing her is why. ' Why did he act that way? Did he get his memory back? But how? '

Even though she is really happy, she didn't want to get excited and then find out it was not what she was thought it was. For now she has to be calm and see how it goes.

Lloyd and Timothy are not there to keep her company, she quietly buried herself in her work.

...

At lunch, Daven and Amir sat on their usual spot eating their lunch.

" Is that woman your wife, the one you introduced me to? '' Amir asked curiously.

Daven took a minute to answer. He can't deny or admits it, he doesn't know anything about it. " It's complicated to explain it."

Reading his face he could tell he was lying. So he changed the topic. " Is it me or something fishy is

going on here? "

Daven slightly burrowed his brows in confusion. " What do you mean? Is there anything you saw? "

Before responding, he looks around to make sure no one is near to hear them and said in a low voice. " Remember that time when we followed that guy..."

" Which one? "

" That guy who met up with a woman and gave her the small red bag."

Daven finally remembers and said, " Oh yeah, no I remember. What about it? "

" Well b..."

" There you are boys! " their boss shouted behind them. " I need you to help me with something at the back. The food supply truck just came in, please help me to carrying out the boxes and some other stuff."

" We'll talk later. " Amir mouthed to Daven secretly.

When the came out from work they drove to Amir's house. " What a day. Now let's make it quick, I need to get home early. " He didn't want to make Brittney wonder where he was and get all mad again.

" Okay, so yesterday when I came in for my fifth delivery, I accidentally heard our boss talking to that man about some goods that have arrived on Monday. "

Daven didn't find anything strange about it. " So? They were probably talking about edible goods. I don't

get it."

" No I don't think so. And they also talked about switching real jewelries with fake ones before the container ship sails off to the northern countries."

Daven thought for a moment and asked. " So what do you say? "

" I first doubted it but when I put one and one together I got the answer. " He paused creating an intense atmosphere. " I think our boss is a d**g dealer and a smuggler."

Daven looks at him puzzled and laughed. " Hahaha! So you are telling me that, that tiny man is capable of all this? Then I was once your father. " he said sarcastically.

Amir slaps his arm annoyed. " Listen dude..." He paused and continued, " Okay then why did we Leticia at that bar the other day you made us skip the bill? Was it a coincidence she was there? "

Daven couldn't figure out anything and he was tired. " Okay let's do this, when you have gathered enough evidence to convince me that he is capable of that, then you can tell me. For now gets some sleep, you could use one."

Amir shot a glance at him and snorted before saying. " My brother's trial is tomorrow, hopefully he'll be proven innocent. "

" Good luck. I wish I could come with you, but I might be busy tomorrow. " He said picking up his jacket.

" Don't worry about it. Thanks again, I will never forget you."

...

Brittney was really tired today and had a lot of cases to solve. One that was really getting her worked up was the case of jewelry going missing and the increase of d**g activity which she never got to the bottom

of where and how it was happening.

When she found out that Daven wasn't home, she went to her room and began working on her cases. She only came out after Daven came to wake her up and realized she snoozed out.
