Sarah knew she had to wipe off that distressed look from her face before she got to work. She felt bad about yelling at Derrick but how else should she react? wherever she turned, she was faced with loopholes and confusion, she needed someone to let out her steam, and Derrick was the unfortunate one.
She did another profiling of the strange woman, though she couldn't come up with a name, she could tell what type of woman she was. The woman appeared rich, not only that she seemed egotistic and conceited. Sarah was sitting parked in the garage as she tried to gather her thoughts. This was the second time she was threatened to face the Leah situation, was she missing something? It had to be Stephanie who told the woman about her or else how did she know of her existence? one thing's for sure, she had to find out who that woman is, that was the only way to know her connection to Leah.
" Leah, what did you do? huh? who did you upset? " Sarah whispered to herself when she heard a knock on her window that made her jump. " s**t! "
" Already whispering to yourself on your first day? " Tyler asked with a smile.
Sarah exhaled in relief, " You scared the crap outta me, sir, " She proceeded to step out of her car.
" Please call me Tyler, " Tyler brushed, " I insist. "
" You scared me... Tyler. " Sarah obeyed, how could she not, he was looking so fine that morning in his khakis and vintage shirt. He let loose the first three buttons exposing his fragile yet charming chest.
" You okay though? " Tyler asked pulling her out from her delusions.
" Someone threatened me today."
Tyler paused, standing in front of her, his eyes firmly locked in hers, " Who? " His voice was suddenly stoic and protective.
Sarah was mesmerized, his voice turning her on.
" Sarah who was it? Tyler asked again, this time his hands on her shoulders gently pulling her to get a response.
" A woman, I... I don't know who is or how she found me it was__
" Sarah listen to me, " Tyler plodded closer to her, " I won't let anything bad happen to you okay, I promise. "
Sarah nodded swallowing back her urge to hug him.
" So tell me everything, this woman how did she look like? " Tyler asked.
" She was old, let's say the late sixties or early... I don't know, she looked rich, really influential and well... mean. "
Tyler's look became more honed and intense, " what exactly did she say to you? "
" Don't find out what happened to Leah unless you'll end up worse than her. "
Tyler nodded, his eyes went still and his expression, thick. " you got her plate number or anything I can use to track her? "
" I didn't... I'm sorry. "
Tyler gently massaged her shoulders, " It's okay, it's okay... "
" How did she know about me? or that I'm looking into Leah's death? "
" Leah stepped on a few toes, we'll just have to figure out which. "

Sarah laced Tyler a condensed look, " What do you know? about Leah's death and anyone who may have wanted her gone.
Tyler bent, " My twin sister. "
Sarah was surprised, she knew Tyler had a sister when he initially introduced her to the team, but she never imagined it would be a twin.
"You have a twin? "
" Olivia " he replied.
" So Stephanie answers to Olivia, my other boss, and Stephanie hates me... that means... " Sarah paused as she tried to conclude her fate, " Please tell me Olivia doesn't hate Leah too. "
Tyler stalled, and Sarah got the message. " I'm screwed. "
Tyler laughed grabbing her hands, " Relax, you got me, I won't let anything bad happen to you, I said that before. "
" Well, you're also my boss and she's your twin sister. "
" I stand by what I said. "
Tyler edged closer to her, maybe a little too close. One of his hands was still on her, softly fondling it. The other made its way to her cheek caressing it. Sarah's heart skipped a beat, she was feeling his soft touch all over her but she wanted more. She filled the gap in between them, staring up at him. Tyler was breathing down at her as he lowered his head to hers, he wanted to kiss her.
The car hone interrupted them, pulling Sarah away and back to her senses. They both turned back to see Anna and Felicity staring back at them.
