“Owh my god Ciara, you shouldn’t be doing this to yourself. Who ever is behind this is not worth your tears, OK? Stop crying now.”

That was Maggie who was almost done with cooking and came to check up on Ciara only to hear sobs coming from the bathroom, so she walked to see what was happening.

Now she was crouching next to Ciara trying to comfort her, only then did Ciara come back to earth. Maggie helped her up, and led her to the basin where she washed her face, she then helped her out of the bathroom to the living room where everyone was.

The aroma alone of the food being cooked lightened Ciara up. She sat quietly on the couch till Azlea came in. As the bubbly one in the family she understood her assignment and was determined to fulfill it, she sat next to Ciara and started a light conversation, as light as it was, it forced Ciara to respond. With time the stories started getting funny, Alzlea made sure to tell her about the embarrassing moments she had at school and did not forget to tell her about the time when she threatened her bullied with her powerful ruthless brother.

With all of these stories Ciara laughed hard, she even forgot that she just had an emotional breakdown not so long ago. Maggie also laughed as she watched from the kitchen, this was the Ciara she knew, one who is always light spirited not the broken woman she saw in the bathroom.

Finnick and Matthew finally arrived, but as always Matthew was the one making noise, he went on and on with how he had to leave the party at home to be here. But when he saw the room they’ll be meeting in he instantly knew it was serious, so gathered himself and he too became serious. They opened the door and walked in. When they got inside they noticed that Liam was very serious too with what ever it was that he was doing as he had only glanced at them and continued typing on his laptop.

” shouldn’t you be with with your wife comforting her with everything that’s going on.”

Matthew couldn’t take it anymore and had to voice out his mind or thoughts. He didn’t understand why Liam was busy with work on a holiday and especially when everyone in the country is dissing his wife like that. ‘shouldn’t he be putting a stop to all those rumors out there?’

When Liam heard Matthew question he paused for a second then continued typing but still responded.

“That’s why I need your help, I need to track the person behind this. But since it had been viral for a while it’s quite difficult to trace the source, worst they are using a ghost account. I need extra hands.”

“Finnick I need someone so keep an eye on Laura the actress as well as the mayor.”

He then looked back at Matthew again and said

” I’ll need your people to replace the men behind the internet army and draw up letters to sue them or close their operations.”

He then continued typing his codes, but just couldn’t get a break through. Wilson’s number didn’t match with any of the numbers on the internet. He thought it was either Wilson was good at covering his tracks or that he wasn’t involved at all. All off his hacking had taken him 15 minutes or less, but this time it was different. It has been an hour since he started but it was as if he just started, he just couldn’t get the information he was looking for.

“bang!!!”

He hit the table in frustration, never in his life had he thought he would be this frustrated. Just then he received a call from his Mom Maggie and he immediately connected. He was sure that the call was about his wife, as he wanted to be sure that she was alright he answered as fast as he could, with worry written all over his face.

“Mom”

” Where are you?, we are almost done with the preparation.”

” I’ll head over, how is she though?”

“not so good but she’ll live, come over.”

“OK”

He then cut off the call and stood up to pack his things, and the two of his friends sitting directly opposite his seat on the table were shocked at his movement. Even the quiet Finnick wanted to know what was going on.

“Bro What just happened, is your wife OK?”

Liam patted his shoulders as he passed him, while he responded.

“she’ll be fine”.

But Matthew spoke again,

“If that is the case then why did you call us here and the leave us after only 2 minutes of us being here, couldn’t you just call us? “

“Matt!!!”

It wasn’t necessary for Matthew to speak like that as his friend was going through something but since they have been friends for a while now, they understood each other, so Liam wasn’t angry at Matthew’s words. He replied to him calmly.

“Not my fault that you were not here on time, now I’m leaving. Don’t forget to make those internet bustards pay.”

After that he did not look at any one in the room but left in long strides. He wanted to get to his wife as soon as he could, he wanted to serve as her shoulder to cry on, he wanted to be there for her, and with that mind, he quickly got in to the car and stepped on the accelerater heading towards his home, where his wife was.
