Chapter Four

JT was in his limousine when the phone rung, it was an authoritative voice on the other hand, short precise and to the point.

"Sir, target taken, both cleaned, over and out," JT listened for a few seconds more, but the phone line soon died. He held the phone for a while, he put the other end of the receiver on his chin before putting the receiver in its place in the limousine. On the other side of the town, Juliet was very happy and had looked forward to starting work on Monday. She had had celebrated the job with Mary and other friends, it was great she felt good about everything, at last it was time to move on. She had grieved for Frank and this was a new chapter in her life.

Sunday night she decided to take a bath just before she slept, she put on her favorite CD by Carolinadeivid: Angels and Hot lips, she took a glass of wine and entered the tube. She had been through a lot and finally she was going to start a new life first with a new job. She sipped wine and listened to the music. She picked up the phone which she had placed next to her and dialed Brian's number but there was no reply. She lay in the tub for a few minutes before starting to dose. Another five more minutes she thought to herself this was it at last it was time to move on. She had sacrificed relationships all the university years and the last two years since Frank's death were unbearable. She stood up and left the bath tub. Suddenly she found it hard to breath, she dropped the wine glass on the floor shattering it into pieces. She felt temperature rising so fast that she felt like she was being cooked from inside out. She rushed to the bathroom basin cutting herself on the feet in the process from the broken glasses on the floor. She drank water quickly before she started feeling dizzy. She felt like someone was choking her. She couldn't explain what was going on if she had had the chance she wanted to phone Brian and ask him for help, but everything happened so fast that all her organs started shutting down. Slowly she still could hear Celine Dion's song fading away, and that was the last thing she heard. JT was still in his limousine when the phone rang again. He picked up the receiver and listened.

"Subject two out. Over," and there was silence and this time he put the phone down quickly and puffed his cigar. All the people who had left his bunker team, all died in mysterious ways. Anyone he didn't trust be it government ministers or not perished too. It was Monday morning, and it was like any other day, business as usual. Brian had looked forward to meeting Juliet that day. He was expecting to see her as soon as she had been inducted and shown her office and from his experience that will be roughly an hour after the start time.

He carried on with his work as normal until after one hour when he tried to call Juliet to find how well she was settling on. There was no answer, he thought that maybe she was still being inducted so to try again after another half an hour. After half an hour still there was no reply her phone kept ringing. It was not until coffee break at 10am when he decided to go and see if she was in her new office. He knocked the door, but her office was locked, and lights switched off. It seemed like no one was even there the whole morning to his surprise. He went to his managers' office to ask. The manger informed him that she had rung in stating that she was unable to take the job. On hearing this Brian was shocked, it contradicted everything he knew, he remembered talking to Juliet, she had expressed interest without doubt and the excitement of starting the job. He had never felt so confused in his life, something had happened. He had not reacted quickly when Frank, his friend disappeared. This time he was going to do something quickly about it. He phoned again to find out the whereabouts of Juliet. Still there was no answer. He ran to his car and drove to Juliet's place. He had let his friend down before; this time he was going to do his best. A lot of questions kept running through his head, was Juliet okay, why did she not turn up for work, if the manager is correct why she not told him. He checked his calls list, yes, she had tried to ring him but did not leave any message. Maybe she had gone to his place maybe he should tell his pregnant wife that he had left work, and he was going to Juliet's. He rang Melissa, but there was no answer. Where is she he thought to himself? It was only after 10am, maybe she was still in bed or downstairs. He tried the house phone but still there was no reply. He decided to leave the message. Melissa heard the phone ringing, but she was in the bathroom. Brian had left a message asking her to meet him at Juliet's house something bad might have happened.
