    After the successful launch of his new book She Reminds Me of You, Sebastianreturns home to his cosy second oor at. Hes a mild mannered, twenty-eight

    year old creative, living the good life in vibrant Shoreditch; juggling his social

    activities with his burgeoning writing career. In the last few years, Sebastian had

    written two well-received books and been featured in prominent urban and na-

    tional magazines and websites.

    Seb as his friends and peers called him, is riding the wave of his growing rep-utation, and tonight was yet another prominent milestone - though he was not

    one for all the glitz and glamour. Exhausted from all the handshakes and the four

    hour smile on his face, he heads straight to the kitchen and opens the fridge.

    Damn! I wish I didnt eat that turkey sandwich yesterdayhmm what to eat,

    what to eat Sebastian mutters to himself while searching his fridge for a snack.

    With the kitchen light off and his focus solely on his semi-empty American styledfridge, Sebastian fails to notice a shadowy female gure lurking in the corner.

    Hello Seb, Ive been waiting for you whispers the female.

    In the opposite end of the kitchen, a mysterious long-legged female stands facing

    Sebastian. Shes positioned as if she is an extra in a Stephen King horror lm. Thestranger, who like Bane, seems to be moulded by the dark, wears a long trench

    coat with high kneels.

    What the fuck! Who are you? screams Sebastian as he turns in amazement.

    Shaken by the sight of the mysterious woman, Sebastian steps back and bumps

    his fridge and knocks over the milk in the door compartment; spilling it all over

    the oor.

    Im your number one fan Ive been waiting for this moment for a long time

    the stranger reveals.

    This moment? What moment? replies Sebastian as he walks over to turn on the

    light.

    Visibly perplexed and a little scared, Sebastian has to see whom he is dealingwith. As a man of medium height and slim build, he is clearly unprepared for

    a situation like this. Once the lights are on, Sebastian scans the woman up and

    down. His full body analysis establishes that the attractive thirty-something look-

    ing woman appears somewhat strong with a distinct height advantage over him.

    Moving toward the counter that separates them, the shady female reaches be-

    hind her back and pulls out a folded piece of paper, a pen and a camera andcarefully places them all on the marble counter.

    You broke into my at for an autograph and a picturewhat the hell is wrong

    with you, are you crazy?

    Incensed by Sebastians comment, the woman suddenly jumps on top of the

    counter and screams Dont call me that! My doctor said that I was just overly

    friendly, otherwise why would he release me?

    Release you! You were locked up?

    Shit had ofcially hit the fan in Sebastians kitchen.

    Yeah, it was only 6 months I think of it as my little holiday.

    Realising the situation had reached epic proportions; Sebastian slowly reaches

    into his pocket and tries to pull out his iPhone. If only he had changed the locks

    like he was supposed to last week. Something about Sebastian always brought

    break-ins.

    Exactly 8 months ago, while Sebastian was away for the weekend, the same

    at was broken into. The culprit entered through Sebastians balcony and stole

    some pictures, as well as his beloved awards; all two of them. When Sebastian

    returned and found his belonging missing he called the police. However, after

    weeks of questioning and an investigation, they couldnt catch the perpetrator.

    The case remains unsolved to this day.

    What do you think you are doing?

    Caught right in the act, Sebastian removes his hand from his pocket and tries tochange the subject as he attempts to think of a new plan.

    Nothing! he says So who are you, need to put a name to the craziness?

    What! yells the female stranger.

    I need to put a name to the lovely face Sebastian replies.

    Oblivious to Sebastians strategy, the shady female smiles and icks her long

    wavy red hair.

    My name is Mayanda Anne Daniels but my friends call me May.

    She has friends Sebastian wonders before replying What a pretty name?

    Thank you; it was my grandmas name.

    Aw, how sweet Sebastian replies a subtle sarcastic tone.

    Despite the banter he had never heard such a strange name.

    So what are you doing here, you could have got my autograph at the launch

    party.

    Im not here for an autograph reveals the woman.

    Scratching his head, Sebastian is more confused than ever.

    Im here to marry you, I have two rings in my pocket and the paper on lying on

    your lovely marble counter is a legal document that you will sign conrming me

    as your wife.

    What the fuck! No, no, no you must be joking Sebastian shrieks before stating

    this must be a prankwho put you up to this? Was it Malcolm?

    Chocolate bear this is not a joke, Im in love with you the woman replies with

    an eerie grin.

    Chocolate bear? responds Sebastian in utter shock.

    If he had a plan this would have been the perfect moment to implement it.

    Dont you need a priest for that? More importantly, dont you need my con-

    sent?

    Thats water under the bridge baby I have a Skype call set up in what will

    soon be our living room with a priest on the other end of the call.

    Digging as far down into his pocket as he could, Sebastian grabs his phone and

    pulls it out with his left hand shaking uncontrollably. He is backed up against

    his open fridge with little option but to call the police. What was meant to be a

    glorious night of celebration, and a little hunger, is quickly turning into an insane

    plot the EastEnders script writers can only dream of. However, this was not a

    BBC drama, this was Sebastian stuck in between a rock and a lunatic.

    Im Im dialling the police and theyre going to come to arrest you and I

    will wake up tomorrow like this night never happened he quivers before shout-

    ing never ever happened!

    No you dont.

    Jumping off the table, May kicks out her right leg and unleashes a ying kick

    Chun Li would have been proud of. Just as he is about to speak to the operator,

    Sebastians phone is knocked out of his hand and slides across the kitchen oor.

    Landing on both feet like a cat, May props herself up and begins to walk over

    slowly and seductively. Her ass so fat Sebastian could see it from the front.

    I studied Judo and theres more where that came from she says as she locks

    eyes with Sebastian.

    Standing almost tree-like, in his expensive navy blue Hugo Boss suit, Sebastian is

    rooted to the same spot he has been for the last 15 minutes.

    Dont worry Chocolate bear, being my husband will be the best thing thats

    happened to you this week.

    She clearly didnt know about Sebastians book launch or about his 12 win in

    the lotto on Wednesday. For a woman who was supposed be in love with him,

    it was apparent that she wasnt one of his 4,456 @RealKingOfZamunda Twitter

    followers.

    Help.... help! Sebastian yells before letting out a slightly feminine screech

    Ahhh!

    As May reaches Sebastian, hips swinging left to right and back again, she sud-

    denly loses her footing and slips on the milk that he spilt earlier. Trying to react

    quickly, Sebastian attempts to run around May but comically crashes into her.

    Much to her delight, he ends up right on top of her.

    Isnt this cosy? May expresses while smiling from ear to ear.

    Chapter 2

    After a moment of awkward silence, Sebastian tries to get up; however,May stops him by wrapping her long legs around his body and hugging

    him close. As Sebastian lays trapped in between her thunder thighs, he

    secretly wishes he went to the gym more often, or at the least, ordered

    the Insanity DVDs from Argos. Had he done those exercises, he wouldnt

    have been caught off guard by Mays freakishly strong arms and legs.

    Pushing Sebastian towards her, the two become sandwiched together. Afrightened layer wrapped around a bun of lust and wild determination.

    Kiss me... Im yours.

    Closing her eyes and pouting her lips, May inches closer to her twen-

    ty-eight year old prey. Like a deer caught in the headlights, Sebastian hes-

    itates momentarily before deciding to act.

    Get away from me! Sebastian barks as he pushes her face away from

    his.

    Daddy what are you doing?

    Unknown to the two characters playing cat and mouse, Sebastians curly-

    haired ve and a half year old daughter Summer stands at the kitchen

    entrance; confusion etched all over her adorable face. She is wearing a

    pink jacket, black leggings and pink and brown UGG boots with a Dora

    the Explorer bag on her right shoulder. With Mays face concealed behind

    Sebastians shoulder, all she can see is the body of a woman laying on

    top of her father.

    Why are you laying on the oor with a stranger with milk on your

    bum? she asks.

    Turning his head, Sebastian answers Sweetheart... umm... what are you

    doing here?

    This is the second weekend of the month, so mummy dropped me off.

    Oh... is mummy here with you? Sebastian quickly replies

    No shes gone. She dropped me to the front of your door, waited until I

    opened it, blew me a kiss and then left. Summer replies.

    Sebastian was married to Rose, Summers mother, for two years and withher for seven. They met while attending Roehampton University and got

    together in their second year of study. He was an English Literature stu-

    dent who would write love poems about her, whereas she was an Art ma-

    jor who drew sketches of them together. They were madly in love. After

    they both graduated they conceived Summer and got married a couple

    years later.

    However, things got tough when Sebastians debut book So Close To

    The M.A.D Encounter

    12

    Home got nationally acclaimed and he started going on books tours.

    With his career on the rise, Sebastians commitments took him all over

    the country; while Rose was left to juggle managing her art gallery and

    raising their daughter.

    As the months went by, the constant separation created distance and

    friction. Rose felt as if her best friend and partner was never there, while

    Sebastian was determined to work as hard as he could to help provide

    for his family. In the end things got too difcult to x, despite attending

    marriage counselling. Therefore, for the sake of their beautiful daughter,

    Sebastian and Rose decided to split and share custody of Summer. This

    way, both parents could love their daughter equally without the extra bur-

    den of trying to mend a broken marriage. Summer now lives with Rose

    permanently, visiting Sebastian every other weekend.

    Daddy?

    Yes sweetheart.

    You havent explained why youre lying on the oor with a girl.

    Visibly embarrassed, Sebastian quickly crafts a story. He is paid to im-

    agine narratives after all.

    Umm, well... this is the interior decorator and Im showing her a prob-lem with the kitchen tiles.

    Unsure of what her dad is saying, Summer proceeds to ask another ques-

    tion.

    Interior decorator, whats that?

    Well... an interior decorator is someone who helps you choose things

    for your house like umm kitchen tiles.

    Sebastian smiles nervously pointing to the oor. He knows young chil-

    dren have impressionable minds, especially those who walk in to see

    their father being held hostage on the oor by a deranged stalker in a

    trench coat.

    Okay... Im going to go lay down in my bed now.

    Summer is well aware that grownups do strange things, but this is new to

    her. Walking off to her room, Summer leaves Sebastian and May to carry

    on their milk room tango.

    Aw... was that your daughter? whispers May Google never indicated

    you had a kid... Im going to have to update my blog when were done.

    Blog? Sebastian mumbles before reafrming himself.

    Listen up May! I want you to let go of me, get any things that you have

    secretly planted and get out. My daughter is here now; I dont want her

    traumatised like her dad.

    Traumatised? Chocolate bear, I just want to take care of you.

    Well youve done more harm than good now please... untie your Judo

    legs.

    Reacting to Sebastians plea, May unwraps her legs, unhooks her armsand waits for Sebastian to move. Not wasting any time, Sebastian climbs

    off May and briey imagines himself running and screaming for his life.

    While visualising himself sprinting past his favourite bakery blaring

    theres a crazy woman stalking me, someone please dial 999 Sebastian

    is brought back to reality by the sound of May crying. Hiding her face

    she stands up and leaves the kitchen.

    This always happens to me... Why cant I trap a man?

    Walking into Sebastians lavish sitting room, May parks herself on the

    black sofa next to the kitchen entrance. Drying her eyes, she appreciates

    the nice mix of cream walls, black furniture and brown tables and chairs.

    Each wall has a different picture; two portraits of baby Summer, one with

    Rose holding Summer when she was two years old and one of Sebastian

    with his stolen awards. There is also a large wall mounted Samsung Smart

    TV and in front of the large sofa where May is sitting is a brand new all

    in one Sony PC to her right. For a divorced man, Sebastians at is pretty

    well kept. Sebastian must have indeed hired an interior decorator; the

    person just wasnt called Mayanda Anne Daniels. To the left of room was

    a balcony with the door slightly ajar.

    I didnt leave that open Sebastian says as he walks in and notices the

    door open. Im sure I closed it.

    Still drying her eyes and wiping her nose with her coat sleeve May re-

    plies I had to use my hair clip to open it. Baby, how am I meant to seeyou without a key?

    A key? shrieks Sebastian.

    Youre an unwanted guest, an intruder, a trespasser.

    Hurt by Sebastians words, May suddenly bursts into tears again. For a

    deranged prowler, she is quite sensitive at times. Watching May sob like a

    baby, Sebastian is at rst unmoved. Yet, as May keeps crying a river with

    tears steadily owing down her face, he realises that he has to do some-

    thing. Her bawling will soon wake up Summer.

    Grabbing a Kleenex from the nearby table, Sebastian hands it to May and

    unwisely utters I hate seeing women cry, what can I do to make youstop?

    Sensing victory, May promptly stands up and immediately halts her tears.

    Her nights spent acting at the Sylvia Young Theatre Schoolin Marble

    Arch clearly paid off. After drying her eyes, May begins to swiftly unbut-

    ton her long trench coat. Clearly time waited for no man or in this case

    no fanatical stalker. Once the last button is unhooked, May drops the

    jacket to reveal a short gure hugging wedding dress. Bending down, she

    reaches into her coat pocket, pulls out a veil and fastens it on top of her

    red hair.

    Turn around... it is bad luck for the bride to see the groom before thewedding.

    W... Sebastian is lost for words. His night has taken more wrong turns

    than a tourist lost in the West End. Damn this womans crazy but she

    looks good in that dress though. Despite being at a loss for words, Se-

    bastian cant help but think how sexy she looked.

    Disregarding Sebastians obvious confusion, May slowly walks over to his

    PC. Having already hacked in and set it up whilst waiting for Sebastian

    to arrive, May moves the mouse to stop the screen saver. Taking a deep

    breath, she begins to adjust the webcam, positioning it to face the centre

    of the living room. Once its in position, she clicks onto YouTube, types

    in Here Comes the Bride turns up the speakers and plays the rst link to

    set the mood. A wedding, no matter how strange or bizarre, is not com-

    plete without the appropriate wedding music.

    Were about to turn up! screams May in excitement.

    Chapter 3

    May rst saw Sebastian at a book reading session in Waterstones, onesunny Saturday afternoon, eight months ago. She was a lover of books,

    but it had been a long time since she had stepped foot inside a book-

    store. As she reached the entrance of the Bond Street branch, she de-

    cided to quickly pop in and have a look around. Scanning through the

    shelves, she went through each genre one by one, picking up the various

    titles on offer. She was a Kindle addict so it had been a while since shehad felt the texture of a book cover. Nevertheless, despite picking up a

    few interesting novels, none of the titles really appealed to her, so she set

    them down on the nearest table and headed downstairs to ick through

    latest comic books. She had developed quite an interest in them after

    watching all of the recent DC and Marvel lms.

    As she headed down the stairs, she heard a mans voice resonate throughthe air. His soft masculine tone voyaged through her ear canal and ca-

    ressed her delicate eardrum. By all accounts, it was love at rst sound.

    Reaching the bottom of the staircase, she quickly forgot about the comic

    books and waltzed past the section as she eagerly tried to nd the source

    to her acoustic bliss. Within a few metres, her quest was over. Standing in

    front of a small group of enthusiastic women near the back of the store,

    Sebastian stood condent and measured; reading various sections from

    his novel. He was clearly a well-polished writer and public speaker.

    However, much to Mays displeasure, the joy of witnessing Sebastian

    would be short lived. While watching her knight in shining Armani dissecthis latest book, her phone rang quietly. It was her doctor calling. Prior

    to walking into Waterstones, she was on her way to an appointment on

    Harley Street. Checking the missed call, and looking at her black and

    gold Baby-G watch, May knew shed be late if she didnt leave immedi-

    ately. Like an African opening the pot to nd that all of the stew has been

    nished on Christmas day, she turned away despondently and walked off

    cursing her luck. Reaching the stairs, she looked back one last time; mak-

    ing a vow to one day meet Sebastian again.

    After approximately ve minutes of wedding music on repeat, Summer

    is awaken up from her deep sleep. Removing her light pink covers, she

    climbs down from her wooden framed bed and walks out of her bed-

    room. She hears the music and walks toward the living room to see whatis going on. Sebastian never plays music loud at this time of the night,

    so she wonders why the sudden change now. After all, Sebastian did just

    purchase a brand new pair of expensive Bose headphones a few weeks

    ago to watch movies and listen to music on the sofa. As Summer enters

    the room, she nds Sebastian standing still and the interior decorator

    wearing a wedding dress. Unaware of the ensuing lunacy, she stops and

    rubs her eyes to see if she is still dreaming.

    19

    Daddy, whats going on?

    Walking over to kneel and hug his sleepy daughter, Sebastian struggles to

    respond.

    Honey, sweetheart erm you know how there are some things daddy

    cant explain like err why the sky is blue or why dunking Oreos in

    milk always makes them taste better, well... this is one of them.

    With a teary expression slowly engulng his face, as if he had been re-

    cently cutting a sack full of red onions, Sebastian shrugs and exhalesa long sigh of despair. Lost in the midst of all the madness and chaos,

    all out of ideas, he cuts a disconsolate gure with his equally confused

    daughter in his arms. He had heard about groupies and crazy fans before

    but nothing came close to this. No groupie or fan came close to Mayan-

    da Anne Daniels.

    Out of clear options, Sebastian briey considers grabbing his daughter

    and running out of his at like an African cheetah with the thoughts of a

    Japanese ninja, but the way things have turned out, he wouldnt be sur-

    prised if May turned out to be Usain Bolts long lost cousin. For the time

    being, Sebastian is stuck; his mind empty like his vacant award display.

    Oh great your princess is here... she can hold the cubic zirconia rings I

    bought.

    Taking the rings out her pocket, May presses pause on the music and

    strolls away from the PC to walk over to Sebastian and Summer. Turning

    Sebastians head to the side, May lifts up her veil to receive her rst sur-

    prise of the evening.

    Summer? utters May, jerking her head backwards in shock.

    Miss Daniels? shrieks Summer, rubbing her eyes vigorously as if she

    had seen a malnourished Santa Clause.

    You know this crazy woman? Sebastian asks with his head still turnedto the side.

    What the hell is going on?

    Daddy, Miss Daniels is my English teacher replies Summer, She joined

    the school last September.

    You mean they let psychos teach? shouts Sebastian and they wonder

    why children dont learn anything these days.

    Sensing a shift in power, Sebastian stands and picks Summer up. He re-

    adjusts his face to put on his meanest screw face. The time had come for

    the writer to take control of the narrative.

    Right... Im putting an end to this shenanigan right now! he yells.

    Marching toward May, Sebastian begins a tirade of commands as she re-

    treats backwards in astonishment.

    Out! I want your crazy behind out of my house this instance! Collect

    your things and leave! I never want to see your face again or else Ill call

    the police!

    Yeah Summer shouts with an innocent voice, clearly more Hannah

    Montana than Miley Cyrus My daddy wants your ass gone

    Watch your language Summer.

    Sorry daddy.

    Forced back against the cream wall, May is now the one who is power-

    less. In her mind, she pictured the evening going somewhat differently.

    The plan was simply; break-in, marry the man of her peculiar dreams

    and snap lots of pictures for her IStalkSebastain.Wordpress.com blog and

    Instagram account. Little did she know that her unknowing anc would

    reject her marriage advances and his daughter would turn out to be one

    of her star pupils.

    Its funny how things dont always go as theyre plannedshe pounders

    to herself.

    What are you waiting for? barks Sebastian.

    Falling to her knees, May begins to snivel while quickly shufing toward

    Sebastians feet.

    Baby, cant we work things out Im sure we can nd a reasonable

    solution to all of this. I really want to be Mrs Sebastian Ellis.

    You can stop the nonsense and the acting May, Im not going to fall for

    your tricks this time.

    Just as May is about to answer back, Sebastians front door slams open

    and storming into the living room comes a slim, baby-faced police of-

    cer.

    My name is Ofcer Blake. My partner Ofcer Gerard is outside pa-

    trolling the perimeter. Were responding to an emergency call. Someone

    from this address called 999 and the operator heard a woman screaming

    and crying out for help.

    Taking no time to wait for a response, Ofcer Blake quickly rushes over

    to the wall and positions himself in between all of the suspects. At 5 foot9 inches, hes shorter than May but just about taller than Sebastian. He

  • 8/12/2019 The M.A.D. Encounter

    22/31

    The M.A.D Encounter

    22

    stands in the middle scanning May and Sebastian up and down like bar-

    code reader; briey looking into their eyes to try and gauge the situation

    at hand. With Summer in Sebastians arms, Ofcer Blake doesnt want to

    scare the little girl, so he lowers his police baton with his right hand and

    places his left hand on his handcuffs. He may not want to scare Summer,

    but he equally doesnt want to misread the scene and have to faff around

    to apprehend either culprit.

    Having no clue whats going on, he turns to May and asks Maam are

    you okay? Can you tell me whats going on?

    Chapter 4

    Ofcer Blake, I believe its me you want to talk to states Sebastian,clearly relieved to see an ofcer of the law arrive to save him from Mays

    devious games and conniving tricks.

    Ofcer, I was the one screaming.

    Despite being slightly embarrassed by the policemans assertion of a

    damsel in distress, Sebastian lets out a smile from ear to ear. For the rsttime in the evening, his horror show looks like its about to reach an

    end. A rather dramatic but peaceful end. Feeling at ease, Sebastian holds

    What? responds Ofcer Blake in bemusement what do you mean you

    were the one screaming?

    What I mean to say is, I was the one who dialled 999 and screamed...

    This woman broke into my house, held me hostage on the oor and

    before you burst in, she was in the process of trying to force me to marry

    her.

    Ofcer Blake looks at Sebastian perplexed. In his short police career, he

    had never heard such a strange sentence before.

    What? What do you mean this woman broke in, held you hostage is

    now trying to force you to marry her?

    Determined to state his case, Sebastian clears his throats and begins toexplain the evenings bizarre and unparalleled events.

    Ofcer, you may or may not know me, but my name is Sebastian Ellis

    and Im an author. I came home this evening after the launch of my latest

    book and found this psycho stalker woman standing in the dark in my

    kitchen. After talking to her and trying to get her out, she removed the

    trench coat she had been wearing to reveal a wedding dress. She thenproclaimed that she broke into my at with the intention of marrying

    me. She might look spicier than hot pepper soup in that dress but shes

    utterly and clearly crazy! I mean who breaks into someones property that

    theyve never met before and tries to marry them?

    And who is the young lady in your arms? the policeman asks.

    She is my daughter, her name is Summer. Summer Ellis replies

    Sebastian.

    Removing his police baton from sight, Ofcer Blake carefully places it

    back in its holster. Clued up on the nights strange events, Ofcer Blake

    steps forward to take a closer look at May. Being the fair and just man

    that he is, Ofcer Blake intends to hear Mays side of the story, eventhough he can clearly see that shes wearing a wedding dress and a veil.

    Standing face to face with May, he analyses her demeanour while waiting

    for her to make eye contact with him. As May lifts her head up and draws

    a breath to speak, Ofcer Blake looks into her eyes and suddenly has the

    feeling of dj vu.

    Have we meet before? he asks while searching the halls of his mind to

    try and retrieve a faint recollection of her face.

    No ofcer replies May.

    Despite her denial, Ofcer Blake is convinced that somehow,somewhere, he has already met or seen May. He just cant remember

    where or when.

    What is your name miss? Ofcer Blake enquires; determined to nd

    out who she is. However, before May can identify herself, Sebastian

    interrupts.

    Her name is Mayanda Anne Daniels ofcer, a name and a character

    thats very hard to forget

    Mayanda Anne Daniels screeches Ofcer Blake.

    Like a light bulb switching on above his head, Ofcer Blake raises his

    eyebrows in shock as recalls how he knows May. An artists impressionof her face is plastered all over the Brick Lane Police Station. As it turns

    out, Miss Daniels is wanted in connection with a series of break-ins and

    robberies in East and Central London; crimes across an 18 month period.

    Nicknamed the Shoreditch Award Burglar, Mays exploits were

    legendary around the capital. A rumour among police ofcers was that

    she was as agile as a wild coyote and as mysterious as the x in a longquadratic equation. No evidence, DNA or ngers prints had ever been

    discovered at the scene of her crimes except for a fuzzy image of her face

    captured by a CCTV camera last December; a rare slipup in her usual

    faultless approach.

    May had a habit of falling into infatuation with London based creative

    celebrities. She would stalk their properties and break-in to steal their

    awards and artistic memorabilia. The incredible thing was, she didnt

    steal to sell them on. She stole the artists prized possessions to feel more

    connected to them; gain a sense of who they really were. She had built

    shrines for each crush so she could look on lustfully from afar. She alwayswanted to be a celebrity wife instead of a starving entertainers side chick.

    Unfortunately, most of the artists she usually stalked were married, so

    she knew she didnt stand a chance. As crazy as she was, May never

    wanted to be home wrecker or the other woman. She had come from

    a broken home. Her mother cheated on her father when she was nine

    and abandoned them soon after to elope with her rich toy-boy tnessinstructor. The scars of her childhood were so deep that she never wanted

    to be that woman or ever be identied as the catalyst a divorce.

    Sebastian was different though. Unlike the wedded writers, painters and

    musicians who had caught her eccentric eye in the past, he was a free

    man. After dealing with married victims for so long, she had nally made

    a break through and found a guy who was attainable. A guy she could

    trail, entrap and start a new glorious life with. Consequently, she had to

    step up her stalking game and approach this new situationship with a

    different tactical approach.

    What are the odds of Ofcer Blake and Ofcer Gerard being called out

    to a domestic call to nd one of the most wanted criminals in the city?

    Her arrest could lead to a huge promotion for the both of them. And to

    think, he almost called in sick suffering from man u after washing his

    cousins money green Range Rover in torrential rain after losing a football

    bet.

    Ofcer...

    Just as May was about to explain her side of the story, Ofcer Blake

    interjects.

    Mayanda Anne Daniels.

    Yes.

    You are under arrest for breaking and entering and robbery in the East

    and Central London area

    Ofcer Blake pulls out his handcuffs, turns May around and cuffs her.

    Unsurprised by Ofcer Blakes decision to swiftly arrest May, Sebastian

    puts Summer down and begins to collect Mays things to speed up

    the process. The sooner she is out of his at, the sooner he can begin

    to forget this catastrophic ordeal. While picking up her trench coat,

    Sebastian feels two hard objects in the right pocket weighing the jacket

    down. Reaching in, he grabs the objects and pulls them out.

    My awards My sweet awards!

    As Sebastian tenderly holds his awards, May turns and looks at him. She

    feels a sense of sadness that her love affair with Sebastian appears to be

    over. All her effort, preparation and detailed scheming results in nothing

    but a wasted wedding dress and her arrest.

    Chocolate bear, shall I schedule some conjugal visits for you to come

    and see me she says in a hopeful tone of voice as Ofcer Blake takes

    her trench coast from Sebastian and drapes it over her.

    Heffer you must have lost your damn mind! Offer Blake please get her

    out of here

    As Ofcer Blake leads May out of his at in tight handcuffs, OfcerGerard joins him outside the at. Sebastian follows and slams the front

    door shut. Stepping backwards with relief, Sebastian trips over a pair

    of white and red Air Jordan 4 Retros as the elation of his triumph takes

    over and gets the better of him. Acknowledging the comedic tumble,

    Sebastians breaks out into joyous laughter. As he lays stationary on the

    wood oor, Summer looks on somewhat bafed.

    Must be another one of those strange things grownups doshe thinks as

    she walks off back to bed.
