'The detective in charge of the Jessie Marin case has been arrested for fraud and malpractice. There is evidence he took bribe from the actress to close the case and stage her death.' The news anchor read. 'The arrest happen earlier today in his hometown where he had been while he was on suspension.'
"Jamie Anderson! Why did you take bribes from the actress Jessie Marin?"
"Did you really take bribes? It that part of the work you were given as a cop?"
"Did you also assist in killing the innocent Diana?"
Lenora watched the news in horror. Jamie didn't say a word instead kept his gaze down as he was lead away by the police. She began to shake, her entire body shook with anger. So he was Jamie? The detective was her Jamie?!
**************************************************
"What makes you think the public will easily accept this?" She asked Patricia.
"The public believes everything they see on the news is the truth." Patricia stated matter of factly.
Lenore shook her head. "At first, but there are always those who would question the news, then bring out their arguments. And if this arguments are convincing enough then they direct the public into confusion and distrust." She explained.
"I mean even I, with the information you just gave me I already blame the police."
Patricia eye brow rose. "The police?"
"Why did they carry out the wrong investigation? People would begin criticising them and wondering why they pay taxes if they can make a mistake this big." Lenora informed her.
"Well that's why I already prepared a fall guy."
"A fall guy?"
Patricia shrugged like it was nothing serious. "Just a detective that has been getting on my nerves so much, I'll use this opportunity to get rid of him."

"So you'll frame him." Lenora stated.
"What?" Patricia smirked, "why are you looking at me like that? Ugh.. don't tell me your starting to feel righteous."
Lenora felt so dirty and annoyed. Was it so easy to ruin someone's life? But she shoved this feelings away and shook her head. "It's none of my business anyway."
***************************************************
But it was her business! It was- oh gosh! Jamie! Lenora grabbed her phone and quickly dialed. Biting her lip anxiously as she waited for the call to go through.
"Lenora?"
"Where are you?" She asked.
"Why? What do you want?"
"Where the hell are you Patricia, we need to meet right now." She repeated more aggressively this time.
"I'm on set right now, why do you seem so agitated." She asked again.
"Because I am, I'll come to you. We need to talk." She said hanging up, quickly picking up her bag and coat she basically ran out of her apartment.
She showed her reporter's ID and informed them she was there to visit Patricia and they let her drive into set. An assistant lead her to where Patricia was but she had to wait for the shoot to end.
During the break Patricia sighted her, waving to get her attention Patricia gestured to her trailer so they walked over to it.
When they were inside it, Lenora was so mad she forget to completely shut the door.
"What is this about? You even came to my set." Patricia asked as she sat, she gestured to the seat but Lenora shook her head.
"I'm fine here."
"Alright, suit yourself."
Lenora pulled out her phone and played the video of Jamie being arrested and showed it to her. "This is your doing right? This is the detective you staged to take the fall isn't it?" She asked.

Patricia looked up at her and scowled. "What the heck? I thought you said you weren't going to be all righteous about this."
"Yeah well I don't know what got into me, is this how your going to ruin somebody's life? He's innocent!" She yelled and Patricia's brow rose.
She laughed a little before speaking. "Did you just raise your voice at me?"
"You didn't seem to hear me when I didn't." Lenora replied.
Patricia laughed some more and stared at her with a warning look. "Look here Lenora don't dare overstep you boundaries. I'll let this go since I'm so fond of you, but don't dare think we're on the same level, because we're not."
Lenora rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Yeah, yeah you're family is all powerful but I'm not a weak woman either. That detective, that man is-"
"Let me guess you're brother? Is that what you're going to say?" She rolled her eyes as well.
"Even worse, he's the man I love. So whatever it is you want to pin on him find some other detective." She said in a commanding tone.
"Is that an order?"
"It's not, it's a request a desperate request." Lenora replied.
"And if I say no? Will stop being so catty and just get over it?"
"Are you stupid?" Patricia's eyes widened. "Or just deaf?" Lenora ignored the glare Patricia was sending her.
"Do you have any idea who you're talking to like that?" Patricia huffed in disbelief.
"I think I'm starting to get an idea of just how twisted you really are. You are the master mind behind the entire Jessie Marin incident aren't you?"
"And yet you still have the guts to speak to me with such a disrespectful tone, do you have a death wish?"
"That's right, anyone that opposes you either ends up dead or in Jessie and Jamie's situation." Lenora spat.
"And your point is?"
"Nothing I was just confirming the extent of your madness. So you're really not going to let Jamie go?" Lenora asked for the finally time.
Patricia scoffed. "You should be begging for yourself right now, you know what I'm capable of. And all the people that dared speak to me the way you just did didn't end up well."
"All the people? So Jessie Marin isn't the first?"
Patricia smiled at her and Lenora shook her head. "You are such a witch!"
"No, I am a Lee. Now get the hell out of my trailer." She said.
Lenora glared at her one final time before exiting the trailer. So it begins, she couldn't do anything to help Jamie but she knew Patricia's Achilles hell as well, and she would abuse it so much that Patricia would writhe in pain.
Preview 173: Boyfriend.
Paul frowned "she doesn't have a boyfriend."
Adonis shook his finger "no, no she does. I'm sure she does, infact she told me that they were keeping it on the down low... you must not have known as well, well that's understandable."
Paul shook his head "no, no she doesn't. Katherine doesn't have a boyfriend, if she did I would have known." He insisted.
"Well why would she kiss Dr. Geum so passionately in front of me? She even said she came here just to visit him." He explained.
"Huh."

Figuring out what the course is about is a big part of the story. Mostly the story will be focused on dialogue and thoughts. One of my goals is for there to not be any potentially interesting conversations that are skipped past, many times I've been reading some story and hated it when some really interesting conversation is just summed up without going into enough detail.
