case.”
I took a deep breath in and looked at Felicity she came out wearing the new outfit I favored, she was tying up her hair into a ponytail. I held her by the shoulder and said. “I need you to stay here. I’ll come back once they arrest Vivian.”
Felicity hit back and came right up to me. “No! I want to go with you.”
“You have to stay here, I can handle it. Listen. Vivian took the life of my friend Alex because I was too stupid to listen to the warnings he gave me. I need to know why.”
Sione said, “It’s important that Felicity goes. If Vivian planned all this, having her there will unsettle her. It will make her think her plans have been thwarted.”
My eyes darted around while I was thinking about what he said. I turned to Sione exhaling. “Okay…”
Felicity squeezed my hand and I kissed her on the forehead. I wanted answers. I couldn’t wait to confront the bitch.

It was eight a.m. and we made our way to work. Sione followed us in his unmarked police car and I took a turn-off to enter the carpark. Vivian’s car was not there yet. I parked the car and took a spare a moment for the loss of my friend Alex. I massaged my temples to ease the pain. All I could feel for Vivian was hatred.
I grunted, “Let’s do this…”
“Hold on, wait…” Felicity said. She leaned over and kissed me deeply; the pressing of her lips felt wholesome, good and most of all loving. She whispered, “I love you. We’ll get through this together.”
My eyes were stinging when she said it but she brought me comfort. My mind went back to the night, and to the words I’d said when I made love to her.
I got out and headed for my office. It was 8:30 a.m when I looked out the window for Vivian’s car. The morning sunrise let the streaks of light enter. I turned to her.
Felicity stood beside me, stirring her coffee.
“You look nice you know…”
She smiled, adjusting the purple outfit that was shimmering with the light. She looked like she was wearing something made of out of amethyst. I walked over to my desk and I opened my top drawer and took out the velvet box to take out the diamond earrings. I sat on my desk to admire her from behind.
“Come here.”
Felicity edged closer, standing in front of me, both of us at the same height. “What?”
I opened the velvet box to take out the earrings I took one and put it in her ear and then the other. I cupped the sides of her face, then held her shoulders.
Felicity wept when I said, “One dearest…”
She nodded, lifting her chin up. “Let’s do this.”
I picked up my phone as I saw Vivian’s car pull into the car park. She got out carrying her handbag. She was wearing an orange tunic with black heels.
I called her.
“What!”
“Come up to my office, there’s some unfortunate news about Alex.”
“Oh yeah, I heard. I’ll be up in two.”
I sat at my desk and Felicity sat at hers by the door. When Vivian came bursting in, she didn’t notice Felicity at her desk.
Vivian had her hands cupped by her cheeks. “Oh my god. I heard. It's terrible news.” She took a cigarette from her bag.
I was just appalled at the show she was trying to put on. My eyes were burning with anger, but I had to get the info Sione wanted. This would all be in vain if I fucked up.
I watched how Vivian held her cigarette, taking in deep puffs. She even had the shakes in her fingers with those crocodile tears.
She said, “The cops said they were looking for Felicity. I tried to get hold of you yesterday to tell you. Sione Suarvea is an undercover detective! I told him everything I knew about his investigation. They’re probably arresting that murderous whore right now.”
I shook my head and stood up to walk in front of my desk. I crossed my arms and looked at Felicity behind her, who and got up and walked in front of Vivian, whose eyes widened when the Felicity sat down with me, she crossed her arms with a fierce look.
