Chapter 08: Dirty Deeds


Alexa sat on the clothed examination table waiting for the doctor to return with her test results. The room was small, and growing more so by the minute. Her breasts were sore but that could be for any number of reasons. Her period was starting soon and she always felt tender around that time. Of course. That’s all it was. She glanced around at all of the posters of female reproductive organs and pictures of smiling women holding infants and sighed. Maybe in another life.

Chapter 07: Hitting the Fan


Hands raised and a throbbing ache between her ears from the blow her captor delivered, Alexa stood on the verge of passing out as the door to the exit stairwell opened.

“Bravo.” Frank Delacroix said, slowly clapping his hands as he circled around the gunman nearest the door. “You really planned this out but, tell me, you didn’t honestly expect me to walk into a trap, did you? Although, it appears, that’s exactly what you’ve done.” Frank smirked, tugging at the cuff of his shirt as he stepped away from the edge. “After I heard what happened at Richard’s place, I took a few…precautions. I hope I didn’t disappoint.”

Chapter 06: Bulletproof


“You get everything?” she asked, grabbing the USB before positioning herself behind Richard.

We’re good, A. Get out of there.

“Easier said than done.” Covering her face, Alexa pulled Richard in front of her as the door to his office burst open. “Drop your weapons,” she instructed the three men standing opposite her. “Now! Or your boss here won’t live to sign your next paycheck.”

It didn’t escape Alexa that guard #4 was nowhere in sight. She’d hoped he was still at his post near the gate as she would need that bit of luck to make it out of the house with her hostage in tow. She waited on the others to comply, jabbing Richard in the neck with the barrel of her Glock to emphasize she meant business. Three firearms were placed on the floor at the men’s feet. “Kick them over. Backups too.”

Chapter 05: On the Prowl


“Who are the people in this picture?” Gavin asked, shaking the image emphatically in front of Mary’s face.

“Lyric’s family.”

“No, I know that. I mean…what are their names?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t…”

“Where are they? How can I get in contact with them? Are they still in town? Where do they live? Was Hannah abandoned by…?”

Chapter 04: Cleaning House


Alexa motioned for Kasper to remain put and she silently snuck over to the porch doors. Peeking out through the curtain, she saw a couple of kids playing in a field behind the house and sighed. “It’s just some kids,” she announced, watching as they chased after a stray dog, moving farther and farther away from the house. “They’re gone.”

“Maybe we should be gone too.”

Chapter 03: Last Call


 “You keep throwing them back like that you’ll be drunk before he even notices you,” Kasper scoffed in Alexa’s ear.

“Mmm, wrong! I don’t know if you knew this about me, K, but I’m pretty good at holding my liquor. Besides,” she said, downing her third shot and slamming the glass to the counter. “This bitch is watering down these things until you can barely taste the alcohol.” The bartender glanced at Alexa from the corner of her eye causing her to smirk. “Oops. Guess she heard me.”

Well now you’ll get an extra little something in your drink.”

Chapter 02: After the Fall


“I thought you said you had this under control!” Alexa yelled over the ringing of the fire alarm.

“I did! How could I have known they placed a server redundancy that encrypts and moves the data offline?” he asked as he pulled a hard drive from one of the cabinets.

“Damn it, K!”

“Well the good news is I was able to secure a portion of the data before the alarm sounded. The bad news: it may not be enough for what we’re after.”

“We’ll worry about that later. Our only concern now is getting out of this building alive!”

Chapter 01: Here We Go Again


Detective Monroe’s trip to St. Claire had been the motivation Alexa needed to get her head back in the game. After returning home to Brooklyn Heights he’d reported on Gavin’s state of mind and while it wasn’t ideal, it was a necessary evil. She needed to know Gavin would not be tormented with the ‘what ifs’ of her disappearance so he could move on with his life. At least this way, he had something to mourn.

Season 3 Recap



The kill squad has arrived and Alexa must work quickly to ensure the Starks make it out alive.



Believing Alexa is the reason behind their unexpected visitors, Joan confronts Gavin who kindly explains she has it all wrong about the woman he loves.



For the first time, Gavin comes face-to-face with what Alexa really is and finds it a little hard to believe. Although nothing is said outright, he begins to suspect Alexa may be a government plant sent to protect his family.



Capturing one of the thugs alive, Alexa questions him to learn the name behind the hit: WET, an organization she has never heard of and one she must investigate.



Kasper once again finds himself in trouble, taken by armed thugs. Now Alexa must go after him, leaving a worried Gavin to fend for himself.



The police question the Starks about the shootout at their home but they are unable to point them in any helpful direction. Meanwhile, Gavin confronts his Dad about his affairs believing this to be the cause behind the attack.



During Alexa and Kaspers daring escape, they are accidentally caught on video by a passerby at the very moment Alexa executes one of their pursuers.



A breaking news report gets Gavin’s attention when he finds that Alexa’s car was one of the vehicles spotted in a high-speed chase with police downtown. And goes on a mission to find her and bring her home. Later, Gavin learns that Alexa’s car had been torched and he is unable to reach her by phone.


Alexa and Kasper feel as though they are one step behind. And when their likenesses show up on a news report and wanted posters around town, they realize desperate measures are in order.


With their plan all set, Alexa breaks into the police station to destroy any evidence they may have gathered thus far from both the crime scene as well as the footage taken by a civilian eyewitness.



But this does little to dissuade their pursuers and they find themselves on the run and looking for a place to lay low. Alexa, having thought ahead, has a cabin in the woods. She and Kasper only have to make it there first.



The matter of running for their lives and the fear of dying at any moment sends Kasper into Alexa’s arms only this time, she doesn’t turn him away. The two become closer than they’ve ever been when Alexa takes Kasper’s virginity.


Once things calm down a little for them, Alexa and Kasper begin their hunt for the client and the men after them. Their first lead: WET, the company name given to them during Alexa’s encounter with a hitman at the Stark mansion.



Alexa takes a trip inside the belly of the beast to aid Kasper’s attempt to gain Intel. While inside, she has a sit down meeting with two of the company’s commanding officers but neither are certain they had anything to do with the hit.



Outside, Alexa finds herself in a dangerous situation as she’s once again made to run but, this time, they turn to the welcoming arms of an old friend.



And while they wait on help from another of Alexa’s old contacts, she and Mary recall the last night Alexa called St. Peter’s Catholic Church home.



With Detective Monroe’s help, Alexa fakes her death in order to give Gavin a little closure as well as lose the heat she and Kasper created in St. Claire.



However, Gavin’s not fooled by the body double and turns to his friend in the department for help. Now with strong suspicion his fiancĂ©e is alive, Gavin has made it his mission to find her and bring her home.

And now, on to Season 4---->

Chapter 10: Pound of Flesh


“Hey! Hey what the hell do you think you’re doing?” Gavin yelled as he rushed across the hallway towards Alexa’s apartment.

“Sir, could you…”

“Put that down! Where are you going with Hannah’s things?”

“Sir, calm down. I’m Detective Curt Monroe with the Brooklyn Heights Police department.”

“Brooklyn Heights?” Gavin asked, taking a look at the man’s credentials as he flipped open his badge wallet. “What are you doing in St. Claire?”
