The chief asked us to check it out. Some fancy pants guy has gone missing.’
‘So he’s become a priority?’ he asked. ‘What about the women?’
‘We haven’t stopped that, we’re just trying to find out what’s happened.’
‘What’s his name again?’
‘Boy you’re not on the ball today.’
He laughed. Harmony was on his mind.
‘I am. I just don’t understand why other detectives couldn’t take this.’
‘Everyone deserves equal treatment whether they’re some fancy pants gallery owner or a homeless man.’
‘You’re right.’
‘He’s name is Marcus Rees.’
‘I see.’
They stepped out of the car.
‘Do we have a right to enter his home?’
‘The man is missing.’ She nodded at the officers who had come along to break down the door.
It clicked opened. The alarm went off.
‘You take the ground floor, I’ll go upstairs,’ said Derek.
‘Okay.’
Yasmina searched the living-room in search for any clues why Marcus had gone missing. Derek climbed the staircase, Harmony still on his mind. He couldn’t help himself. The night they’d had together was unforgettable. He tried one of the room doors. It was locked.
‘Break it down,’ he told the officer who had followed him.
It took a while, but finally the door opened.
‘Oh my god! Call an ambulance!’ He rushed over to Rose who lay weak with dry lips. ‘Hey,’ he shook her gently. ‘It’s okay. Everything will be okay.’
‘Derek!’ Yasmina ran into the room. ‘Oh god!’
‘I know.’
‘Is that?’
‘Rose, it looks like Rose,’ said Derek.
‘Oh god, we found her...do you think...’ she left the room and tried the others. ‘Open this door,’ she told an officer.
The door was broken down. She ran towards Zara, who was half asleep.
‘Can you tell me your name?’ asked Yasmina.
‘Zara.’
‘You’re safe now. An ambulance is on the way.’
The sirens were heard in the distance. Everything happened fast. The detectives couldn’t believe their luck.
‘To think a missing man would lead us to this.’
‘Yes. This house will be swept, it’s under investigation now,’ said Derek.
‘I can only imagine what we’ll find.’
‘Do I want to know? And what the hell happened to him?’
‘God only knows. We still need to find him.’
‘Yes we do. I’ll ride with the women. See if I can get any answers. Meet you back at the station,’ said Derek.
‘Sure thing.’
He hopped into the back of the ambulance.

The A&E was busy as usual. Harmony tried to resuscitate a patient.
‘Don’t die me now!’ She worked as did the other medical staff. ‘Come on, come on.’ The defibrillator was placed on his chest again. ‘Clear!’ she shouted and the staff members stepped back. The electric current shot through his body to start his heart.
Again they worked on him, and again she shouted, ‘Clear!’ so the medical staff could step away! But nothing helped. The man was gone!
‘God dam it!’ She threw the equipment. ‘Not today! I can’t, not today!’
Everyone was silent, it was just one of those things they had to deal with, but it never became easier.
‘Time of death, 1:10 p.m.,’ said Harmony.
Just as she walked away, two women were wheeled in.
‘What have we got?’ Harmony ran towards them.
‘Two women, suffering from dehydration and signs of slight starvation...’
She leaned forward, listened to Rose’s heartbeat, and shone a light into her eyes. Just as she was about to give instruction to an intern, she caught him in the corner of her eye.
‘Derek?’ The shock hit her!
‘Harmony? What...’
‘I can explain, please, just give me a moment.’ She had to attend to her patients.
Once they had been stabilised, she stepped out to where he was.
‘Derek,’ she said.
He lifted his hand a moment.
‘I’m...’
‘Don’t speak.’ He didn’t turn to look at her. ‘How are they?’ he asked.
‘Stable. They’ll both be fine...’ She stepped forward. ‘Derek, let me explain.’
He looked at her, the pain in his eyes evident. ‘There is nothing to explain. You lied to me, that’s all there is to it.’ He started to walk away.
‘Derek please! Give me a chance to explain.’
‘What possible explanation could there be?’ He was furious. ‘You lied. I can’t stand lies.’
‘I’m sorry. Please...’
‘Doctor Moore you’re needed in the O.R.!’
‘Derek?’
‘You’ve got a job to do, and so do I.’
‘Please at least look at me.’ She begged.
‘Doctor Moore!’
‘Derek!’
It was no use, he just couldn’t look at her in that moment. She turned and ran towards the operating room. Only then did he look her way, but just for a moment. Harmony wiped the tears from her eyes. If only he’d given her a chance to explain. She hadn’t realised that she would fall for him. It wasn’t even supposed to happen. All she’d wanted was capture Marcus, Derek wasn’t supposed to come along. But he had, and now she was stuck. Her heart had been taken and it made what she wanted to do, a lot harder!
