PHASE O1: LOVE AND WAR
"Tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us when we live"
-Norman Cousins-
Chapter 01
She woke up not wanting to be awake, she looked around to notice that she wasn’t in her room. Her eyes darted to the side to see a sleeping naked man. She concluded that she had a one-night stand. She searched for her clothes which were thrown everywhere. She splashed some water in her face and she called her driver.
After a couple of rings, he answered the phone,
“Hello, Alexis.”
“Hi, Carl.” She replied.
“Where should I pick you up?” he asked fully knowing that she was calling him to pick her up from someplace waiting to be taken home.
She looked around to find out that she was in, “Fenton Street.”
“To be exact?” he asked wanting to pinpoint her location.
She saw a Starbucks and she replied, “I am near a Starbucks.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up in 30 minutes with your requirements.”
“Thank you, Carl. You are a lifesaver.”
“I’m just doing my job.” He replied.
She hung up the phone and walked into the Starbucks because it took him some time to pick her up. She ordered a cookie cream frappe with a breakfast burrito. She finished her meal and remained inside because the light intensity outside was so bad, that she was squinting her eyes when she was outside.
He gave her a call to let her know that he was outside.
“Hello, Alexis I am right outside.”
“I’ll be there in a second” she replied standing up from her seat.
She walked outside and the moment the light hit her eyes, she squinted them and she barely made it to the car.
The moment she was inside the car, Carl handed her a hangover cure. She gobbled it up quickly because it wasn’t tasty at all. She already felt like she was getting better.
There was an outfit in the seat next to her with a couple of necessities, deodorant, mouthwash, and dry shampoo.
She sprayed some dry shampoo on her hair. She started to strip down to her underwear. Carl wasn’t a perv so he wasn’t peeping.
She applied some deodorant to her armpits and she got dressed into her outfit.
The moment she was ready, they had already arrived at Green Industries
She got out of the car and started to walk into the building. The moment that she was in the line of vision of the front desk, she was greeted by them,
“Good morning, Alexis.”
“Good morning, Judy.” She replied to her while passing her to the front desk.
She arrived at her office and the assistant Becky immediately went through the schedule, “You have a meeting with Marcus Pearson at 1.00 pm and you have to sit in a couple of interviews for the senior executive position.”
She sighed, she always hated when she had to conduct interviews. So annoying, so she suggested to her,
“Let Anita sit in the interviews for me.”
“Sure thing.” Replied the assistant.
She went into her office and she brushed her teeth in the special bathroom she had made for her room.
She came out of the bathroom and went on browsing her documents but then she got a message.
“The Police department is looking into you.”
She instantly stopped what she was doing, she quickly logged into the Police Department Server. (She had bribed the police department so that she could snoop in their system whenever she pleased)
She caught her snooper; it was Alyssa Carson. She immediately pulled up her file to see something that made her certain that she would never stop looking into it and might as well have some fun; because life's short and uncertain, so we must make use of every moment if we could.
She dialed a number from memory,
“Hey, Sebastian.” She said once the recipient answered.
“Hey, Dom.” He replied.
“Initiate project discovery.” She stated while looking through the system.
“Who’s the target?” he asked waiting for her reply.
“Alyssa Carson.” She replied
“Sure.”
“Also tail Alyssa Carson.” She commanded.
She sent him her file and she said, “Tell me where she goes tonight.”
“Sure thing.” Replied Sebastian and he hung up the phone.
She returned to herself and she was on with her day. She was sent updates throughout the day. She checked her phone whenever she could.
She met up with Marcus Pearson about something related to business. Marcus is known to be a charmer; he plays his charm with her. She just rolled her eyes because she honestly couldn't care any less.
She ended the meeting abruptly because she got another ping from her system. Alyssa was still investigating something in which she was the mastermind. This became annoying, she thought what her punishment for snooping is? Should she get her fired or a more permanent solution, you know what I mean?
She wanted to be done with it, so when she knew that she was in the Blue Ocean, she jumped at the opportunity to meet her. She needed to know why she was so driven to do what she was doing.
She arrived at the club after changing in her office, Carl dropped her off at the entrance of the club. The bouncer immediately let her through since she was the owner of the place. She entered the club, the atmosphere was filled with loud music and a pungent smell of alcohol.
"Do you recall, not long ago
We would walk on the sidewalk
Innocent, remember?
All we did was care for each other
But the night was warm
We were bold and young
All around the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We all need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on"
"Lean on" by Major Lazer
She made her way through the crowd and she said next to her. She said to the bartender,
“Two shots of tequila.”
The bartender nodded and he placed two shot glasses on the table and he poured tequila onto them. She took one shot and she finished the shot in a second.
Just then she heard a female say, “Rough day?”
She turned to Alyssa who had just spoken to her and clinked her shot glass with her beer and she finished the next shot.
“So, what brings you here?” asked Alexis.
“I just need to drink.” She replied.
“Rough day?”
“Yes.” She replied taking a sip from her beer.
She knew that she had an in, so she introduced herself, "I am Alexis Green."
Lie #1, "I am Alexis Green"
"I know who you are." replied the woman taking a sip from her beer.
"So, do you want to tell me your name?" she asked wanting to get in with her.
"Alyssa Carson" she replied.
"Do you want to tell me about your crappy day?" asked Alexis wanting to know more.
She started to say…
Flashback
She woke up from the little sleep she got, it was the death anniversary of her father. She pulled herself off the bed and dragged her body unwillingly to the bathroom.
Her father was a decorated cop, she always looked up to him. She always wanted to make him happy since he was the only parent she had. Her mother passed away from cancer when she was young. Their family only consisted of Jake Carson, her father, and her. They were happy. But one night, the family she had remaining was ripped from her grasp. Ever she then she made it her goal to punish the people who were responsible for her death.
She left early because she was taking a detour to the cemetery so that she could talk to his headstone.
She entered the cemetery with a flower in her hand. She placed the flower on the spot where he was buried.
She started to say, “I am trying to find out who killed you.”
“Today, I got access to the system. I am happy about that, now I can do the real work to find out your murderer.”
She arrived at the precinct; she avoided all the stares she got. She walked to her workstation she searched for her father’s murder. She got the file and she scanned through the entire case, there were no suspects and no prints on the scene. What caught her eye was that he was investigating the Guerra crime family.
The Guerra crime family was a notorious cartel, they are known to be the number one in drug trafficking. They are also known for their ammunition. They have direct contact with the military, that’s what her father speculated.
She decided to start an investigation into the Guerra crime family.
She searched for information, she looked through and she saw that the entire crime family died in a house fire but the youngest son survived. That was the only thing that they had on them.
She tried to search for more but suddenly, an error message popped up.
“Restricted access.”
She looked around confused, that wasn’t supposed to happen. But then she heard her captain shouting her name, “Alyssa Carson.”
She entered his office and she said with respect, “Yes chief.”
“Why are you looking into the Guerra crime family?” he asked bluntly.
She replied, “I think that they were involved in my father’s murder.”
He sighed audibly, “Your father’s death was ruled as an accident.”
“There isn’t evidence to rule it as a car crash.” She shot back.
There were no skid marks on the road, no nothing.” She continued.
“Dammit, listen to me. Stop poking around with the Guerras.” He said firmly.
“Chief… but….” She tried to reason with him to allow her to all further into them.
“No buts, Carson. You will listen to your chief.” He shut down her protests.
“Yes, Chief.” She replied knowing that she would not listen to him.
She went back to her station and she looked at the active cases she had; the pile had increased for the time that she had spent with the captain. She knew that the others were slacking off their work to her.
She had the highest rate of cases solved compared to every detective in the precinct.
She went through the cases and there were a couple of robberies. She interviewed the suspects, she put a couple behind bars.
She sat back into her workstation, she quickly gathered information from the system before it displayed the error message and she hit the road.
She knew that she needed to drink because she was tired of the sexism and the homophobic attitudes. She came out as a lesbian to one of her closest friends, who happened to be a detective in the precinct. The moment she came out, he started to avoid her.
It was clear to her that he was hanging out with her because he wanted to f**k her. Her being a lesbian was not something he was prepared for.
The news spread like wildfire, before the week ended everybody in the precinct knew her true sexuality. Previously friendly people avoided her and her captain started to automatically dislike her.
She knew that she wanted to dance and drink so she chose the best club in town, Blue Ocean.
Back to the present.....
“I’m pretty sure that my colleagues hate me because I am gay.” She said taking a sip from her beer.
“You’re gay?” she asked surprised with her answer.
She didn’t see that one coming.
“Oh, did I freak you out?” she asked in a split second.
“No, it’s fine and I am bi.” She said confidently.
“Bi?” she asked wanting to confirm her answer.
“Yes.”
“Don’t mind me if I do this.” She said and then crashed her lips onto her. Just when she realized that she was kissing her, she realized that she was kissing her back.
She nibbled on her lower lip asking for access, she parted letting her slide her tongue into her. Alyssa’s hand started to roam on Alexis’s body.
Alyssa broke away from the kiss and asked her, “My place?”
“Sure.” She replied with uneven breathing.
They went outside. Alyssa hailed a cab for them. They got into the cab and they continued to make out.
When they arrived at the location, Alexis handed the cab driver a 100 and said to him,
“Keep the change.”
The driver smiled happily because his tip was higher than the fare.
He left and then they quickly made it into her apartment. The moment they were in her apartment, she raised Alyssa off the ground and wrapped her legs around her abdomen.
She removed her top and a smirk fell on her face when she saw that Alexis’s eyes were focused on her breasts.
She removed her bra letting the girls on loose. One hand was on her lower back keeping her in position and she played with her hardened n*****s with her hand. She gently caressed her breasts.
She knew that she wanted her. She guided them to her bedroom and she removed the remaining clothes.
Alexis was on top of her. She was making out roughly with her. She left a trail of kisses from her lips to her neck. She licked the sweet spot and she gently bit into her skin and she sucked onto it making a hickey in her neck.
She gripped her thighs going down. She teased her clit with her tongue. She inserted her tongue in which made her yell.
“Yes, right there.”
She continued it for a while since she was enjoying seeing that she was the best she had ever had. She inserted one finger into her. Then suddenly she entered three fingers into her taking completely by surprise. She continued to do so; a smirk fell on her face when her body was trembling right after orgasm ripped through her body.
She lay next to her panting, she was tired from carrying her and giving pleasure to her. She laid on the bed and then Alyssa snuggled into her. She thought that she would be done with her, but no. She snuggled into her while being asleep. This made her smile because it was the first time someone had snuggled into her right after s*x.
She tried her best to leave without waking her up. She couldn’t do anything. She lay on the bed waiting for her to move so she could leave. She eventually fell asleep. She suddenly woke up to her phone going off. She was able to wake up quickly right before waking Alyssa up she answered the phone,
“Hey.”
“Where should I pick you up?” asked Carl.
She told him the address and she quickly got dressed. She went to the lobby and waited until Carl announced that he had arrived.
The moment she got the call, she went outside and got into the vehicle. She took her fresh clothes with her to her office. She took a quick shower and then she got dressed in the fresh clothes she had brought with her.
She continued with the rest of the day.
Her day took a turn when Sebastian called her,
“Hey Sebastian, what’s up?” she asked curiously.
“People are starting to get suspicious.” He said slowly.
“How do you know?” she asked him wanting to get to the bottom of it.
“They are demanding an audience with the real mastermind.” He replied.
“Meet me in the abandoned warehouse on Fenton Street.” She ordered.
“With them?”
“Yes.”
She got into her car and she started to drive to the abandoned warehouse. She took her pistol from the glove compartment, she put the silencer on so that it wouldn’t alert people.
She tucked her gun behind her and she walked into the warehouse, where she was expecting to meet the people who were requesting an audience with her.
She walked to see Sebastian standing opposite a group of 5 people.
Their eyes fell on her the moment she entered the warehouse.
A man said to her, “You came to the wrong place, girly.”
He tried to make an advance on her, she quickly took the gun which was behind her and she put a bullet to his head. He dropped dead in an instant.
The tensions were running high,
“Alexis Green, is the person running the mafia?” asked a man in dismay.
She replied casually, “You may know me by a different name. Does Dominique Guerra ring a bell?
“Impossible, she died in the house fire.” Replied another man.
“Well, I didn’t die technically. I just staged my death.” She said clarifying their doubts.
“It’s getting boring now.” She said faking a yawn.
She swiftly put a bullet into Sebastian’s head, but it wasn’t Sebastian. It was a lackey she had hired to be Sebastian; she runs out of Sebastians pretty much all the time because they aren’t smart enough to evade suspicion.
The four men were afraid now, they were standing face to face with a Guerra the only reason people fear Guerras are their unpredictability and ruthlessness. She dropped all of them dead but she spared one.
He was on the ground taking cover from the bullets. She walked towards him and she said firmly, “Get up.”
He listened to her and got to his feet in an instant.
She appointed him as the new Sebastian, “You are the new Sebastian Guerra.”
“What?”
“Do you want to be rich? then you are Sebastian now.” She stated it as if it were a command.
“Okay.” He replied while shaking in his boots.
She commanded him, “Clean this up and meet up with Frank.”
“Who's Frank?” He asked not knowing what the procedure was.
“A plastic surgeon” was her short reply.
He cleaned the s**t she had created and he eventually met up with Frank, who made him look exactly like Sebastian.
I’m pretty sure that you are confused about what’s going on. But for now, all you need to know is that Alexis Green is not who she says, she is a completely different person.
Alexis Green was the perfect cover for her, the reason why she is using an alias to live is something that she knows, and that will be something that you will learn in the future.
My advice would be to be as far away from her as possible, where there is a Guerra, there is c*****e. It is an inevitable cycle of violence.
The mafia was running smoothly, there were no hiccups in her plan. She started to be entertained by the fact that she had a rookie cop looking into the Guerra crime family, she just wondered if she knew who she was, how would she react.
She thought to keep up the ruse, so she ordered a bouquet of roses and a hamper containing exquisite chocolate and coffee to be delivered to her workplace.
She went out to investigate a lead and when she arrived back at the precinct, she saw a huge bouquet of roses on her table. She was confused as to what was happening. She walked to the desk and picked up the card which was inside the hamper,
“From your Secret admirer.
-A- “
She smiled in an instant because she knew that it was Alexis’s work.
