River sits in the train. In the Airport the police officer, Lucy, approaches Martha.
Los Angeles Airport
"I checked now where he is," officer Lucy says.
"And did you find him?" Martha asks.
"Yes, one of the policemen arrested him."
"why?" Martha asks anxiously.
"He found on him drugs."
"what?!" Martha finds it difficult to believe. "My son would never use those things."
"It doesn't have to be that he uses. He might just be selling them."
"It can't be, there must be some mistake," says Martha.
"Look, I don't know," says the officer. "You should check it out at the Department of the police."
"where is it?"
"On the second floor when you exit the elevator turn right. Keep going straight and you will get to the police department," says Lucy. "Your son is in room number eight."
"Well, thanks for your help," says Martha and walks toward the elevator.

David is accompanied by two agents from the Secret Service. He stops by a door and knocks on her. Mike opens the door and says, "Come in."
David enters the room and the secret agents stay at the door. Mike closes the door.
"We need to change my speech a bit," says David.
"In what way?" Asks Mike.
"Regarding the plan to strengthen the national security," says David. "We should more elaborate on that subject."

"Is that what Wayne told you?"
"Yes, and I also think so."
"But we've discussed it already," says Mike. "In your speech, you will talk for a long time about the issues of foreign policy and the situation in the world and about security in America. It's true that the situation in America today is bad and it's important to talk about security, but almost three-quarters of your speech is about the security issue and what is happening in the world because of President Wilson's failed policy. Which leaves you with only a little more than a quarter of the speech to talk about social and economic issues.
"True, but the state has reached a situation where its citizens are far more concerned with the security issue than the economic issue," says David. "That's why it's important to expand on our program."
"That's right," says Mike. "If you want to change the speech and you think it's the right thing to do, then that's fine with me."
"Good," says David.
Mike sits down at the table and opens his laptop.
In the hotel's locker rooms
The guy is wearing a blue bathing suit and finishes showering. The guy closes the water, takes his shampoo and gets out of the shower. He walks over to his bag. He puts down the shampoo next to his bag. The guy opens the bag and takes out his clothes and a white towel. Inside the bag you can see a small knife sticking out. The guy puts the shampoo in the bag so he hides the knife. He closes the bag and goes to change clothing.

Martha opens the door and goes into the police department. She continues straight until she reaches the number 8 door on her left. She opens the door and enters the room. She closes the door and sees a man dressed in police uniform. The man is sitting on a chair at the table.
"I'm Tom's mom and there was probably a mistake, my son never touched drugs," Martha says. "Where is my son?"
"You'll meet him soon," says the man in the police uniform.
Suddenly, behind her comes the janitor and puts a canvas on her mouth. On the canvas there is an anesthetic. Martha struggles. She can't get out of the janitor grip and after a few seconds she faints. Next to the janitor there is a huge cleaning trolley. The janitor opens the lid of the cart. The cart is empty. The man with the policeman's uniform gets up from the chair. He and the janitor lift Marta off the floor and place her in the cleaning trolley.
The janitor closes the lid of the cart and asks, "What about the policeman we killed?"
"He's too tall, you can't put him in the cart," says the man with the police uniform. "We'll have to leave him in the closet here in the room."
The man with the policeman's uniform walks out of the room and walks toward the department exit. After him the janitor leaves the room, dragging the cleaning trolley.

8 294Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

Grammarly already in used, but not the premium version one (it cost me a hundred pounds for a year subscription), I occasionally check my works and read the comments, so I hope more productive comment thanks.English is not my main language, I am merely a graduate that came out to work, live, married, and write. I hope the mistakes that were done in the chapters can be accepted if it could, amended if I can, and advised if I get. Thanks! Very! Much!
