" I don't think you are doing your job right Eddy. Jim has been able to get to us three times on your watch already! You are so damn incompetent. "

" I really don't know how he managed to get past me ."

" That's what you said last time, what if he'd hurt her?" I said trying to compose myself.

I was putting all the blame on him because I didn't want to admit to myself that it was all my fault. I promised to protect her but i failed badly! I was in the same house with him torturing her, but i couldn't help her.

" Don't worry young man we are going to assign another officer to work with Eddy. Now that jims hurt, I think he is going to lay low for some days. We actually have people watching his house and any other place that he'd think of hiding, " one of the officer said. I think he was their boss or something.

" Okay, but I think someone close to us is helping him out, and that's why he keeps getting away from us."

"I think so to and believe me we are working on that. " he said.

Most of the people from the neighborhood were outside worried about the safety. The police officer walked over to them assuring them them that everything was under control and if they knew something they should report it.

I didn't want to go inside yet. The only thing  that was on my mind was how i was going to face sky after i let her down. I decided to drive around the neighborhood just to see if i could get lucky and maybe spot that bastard but luck wasn't on my side.

" So, how is sky, " I asked Ethan as soon as i got back to her house.

" She's asleep now and celyn is keeping her company. "

" That's good, she needs all the rest she can get."

" She was asking for you won't you go and see her. "

" I will but not now. I feel guilty for not being able to protect her from that scumbag! "

" Don't beat yourself up for things you don't have control over. None of us saw that coming and neither of us is to be blamed. "

" I know , but i just can't help it," I said as Mr Banks,  sky's father was walking in the house.

" Hi guys, how is she?" Mr Bank asked.

" She's fine," Ethan said.

" Someone is coming over tomorrow to install security cameras outside and inside the house. I'll be able to keep an eye on sky even when am working and Jim will surely be caught the second he steps in our compound again. "

" That's a great idea! How come we never thought of that before, anyway have you informed the police? " I asked.

He came and sat next to me. " No why?"

" I don't trust those guys. I think this should stay between us not even sky should know. That would make it easy to catch the mole within us," I said.

" That's a great idea, anyway I came to check on sky but since she's resting I won't bother her. Am going over to the police station to see Jake, maybe he can give me some information about Jim's whereabouts, " Mr Bank said getting up , ready to go.

" Do you think he'll sell out his own son? " I asked.

" I don't know but am willing to try. If he has really changed and is repenting as he says, then he'll show it by helping me, don't you think?"

" I doubt that.... Once a thief always a thief. I think he has a hidden agenda, and aren't visiting hours over yet? "
Ethan asked.

" Don't worry I know a guy, I wont be long, "Mr Bank said taking his car keys and walking out.
