The family was devastated, Michelle couldn't cope,
She knew Renée didn't do anything, for the best she hoped.
Mike set out to have a word with the detective, about an alternative for his wife,
For he involved himself with this woman, who now destroyed his life.

"Mr. Anderson, are you here to make a complaint?"
Detective Robinson asked

"What? No!!"
Mike replied

"Are you here to file a report?"
He asked

"No!!!"
He stated

"Are you taking out a restraining order, in need of help or anything that requires the assistance of the police?"
He asked

"No."
Mike replied

"Well since we can't be of your assistance, I'm gonna ask you to leave the precinct."
Detective Robinson replied

"Cut the crap Jordan!!
I know I'm on leave but you don't have to treat me like a civilian!!
I want you hear me out, please!!!"
Mike uttered

"30 seconds."
He replied

"I'm asking for an alternative regarding my wife. Instead of being in holdup until the duration of this investigation, can she be placed under house arrest instead?-
Mike asked

"You want be to put a murderer under house arrest?
Are you nuts!!"
He exclaimed

"She's not a murderer!!
I don't know what happened, but Renée didn't kill Catherine!!
I think she was framed."
Mike replied

"Lemme guess, she was framed by Catherine?
The very person that's now dead!!
So what are you saying now, the deceased killed herself and left behind evidence to impersonate that your wife did it?!
Oh please, I expect hearing this from a rookie, not the Chief of Police!!"
Detective Robinson stated

"That's exactly what I'm telling you!!!
I know it doesn't makes sense but it does if you look back.
She wanted payback for me dumping her, so she gets out of prison, heads after my wife's love interest by stealing his sethoscope, which she used to strangle me, pointing all attention to him, while she focuses on getting her revenge behind the scenes.

For God sake, she took my cuffs after I blacked out!!!! Now there on her dead body, is that a coincidence?"
Mike asked

"You really think she did all this, just to see you suffer?"
He asked

"Yesss!!!"
Mike replied

"You're delusional.
need help!!!"
Detective Robinson stated

"For God's sake Jordan!!!!
I'm telling you, this woman is crazy!!!"
Mike exclaimed

"I'm sorry Michael, there's nothing I can do."
Jordan replied

"I'm offering an Evaluative Stand down."
Mike uttered

"What?"
Jordan questioned

"You heard me!!
I'm stepping down as Chief of Police while my wife is being evaluated under the conditions of house arrest."
Mike added

"You gotta be kidding me."
Jordan replied

"I suggest you get the paperwork."
Mike stated

"You're willing to give up your career just to ensure you wife is placed under house arrest?"
Jordan asked

"After all that I put my wife through these past couple years, giving up my job is nothing compared to what she deserves!!
So quite stallimyand get the paperwork work done."
Mike replied

Jordan drafted the paperwork, gave Mike a pen,
"You should really reconsider this, you're career doesn't have to end"
Mike looked upon him as he affixed his name,
And when straight down to holding, his wife he claimed.

Tears rolled down her face, she jumped into his arms as Mike repeatedly kisses her face,
He reassures her he will never let her stay in that place.

Upon seeing her face, the kids burst through the door,
If she was sad, well she wasn't anymore.
She held them close, kissing and hugging Joey and Joel,
Not to mention the level of emotion evoked when she saw Michelle.

The Family was back together, even if it meant Renée had to stay within the confines of her house,
With all the necessary cheese around, she was glad to be a mouse.

"I'm just so glad you're outta that place, I can't believe it's been a week already"
Michelle stated

+I know right, it's just crazy. I can't believe Mike gave up his job"
Renée sighed

"He's really fighting.
I still can't believe that bitch killed herself just to see you suffer, well, she can't see but that's messed up!!
Michelle replied

"Well I'm left in the aftermath.
But I know it will all work out as it should, Thomas and Charlotte has been praying for us and Mike has hired the best lawyer on the case."
She replied

"I know and I'm hoping for the best as well but do you think the jury will deem you innocent when all evidence point in your direction?
I know I'm supposed to be hopeful but I'm having a hard time knowing how high the stakes are."
Michelle sighed

"Come here, it will all work out, I know it will.
Despite all the odds, you gotta be faithful."
Renée replied as she hugs Michelle.

~Incoming call~

"Renée!!!
How dare you!!! How could you!!!"
Dimitri yelled

"Dimitri what happened?!
What's wrong?"
Renée asked

"The audacity to act like you did nothing!!
You know, I actually thought you were exceptional, my Grandma even likes you; but no, you're just like all the others!!!
Greedy, selfish and above all which I never thought I'd address you as; a thief!!!"
Dimitri uttered

"Dimitri, there must be some misunderstanding -"
Renée reassured

"76 million dollars is missing from the company's outsourcing account and deposited into your account!!!!
And you're going to sit there and tell me that there must be some misunderstanding!!!!

Come on Renée, I knew you better than this, turns out I was wrong!!
I'm giving you 24 hours to return the company's assets or I'll be forced to issue a lawsuit!!"
Dimitri replied

"What!!
What are you talking about?!
Dimitri I assure you, I did no such thing!!!
You have to believe me, I-"
Renée cried

"Just stop okay!!
Just stop!!
We'll be in touch.
Oh and Renée, in case you haven't realized - YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Dimitri yelled

"Dimitri!! Dimitri!!"
Renée yelled

~Call ends~

"

Renée? Who was that?"
Michelle asked

"Dimitri, he's accusing me off theft!!"
She cried

"What?"
Michelle exclaimed

"I can't take this anymore?
What did I do? How am I supposed to find 76 million dollars!!!"
Renée cried as she broke down in tears

"Sis it's okay, we'll get to the bottom of this, this is complete BS !!
I'm gonna call Mike and see if he can look into this, this doesn't make any sense!!"
Michelle replied

"Mike is cannot start an investigation, he's no longer a cop remember.
I need to go see Dimitri, explain this whole situation.
Renée reminded

"Damn, I'll call Thomas he'll know what to do.
I can go talk to Dimitri, get some insights, you're on house arrest Ren, you can't leave!!
I'll be back okay "
Michelle replied

Renée broke into tears

"Ren,

We'll get through this okay, but we can't if we stay here crying, you gotta be strong. Brandon is already outside so I gotta go, there must be a mistake, I'll find it."
Michelle stated

After careful consideration, and to prevent a data leak,
Dimitri pushed to period of payment up to one week.
Thomas gave Mike Intel that the deposit was made,
2 weeks after Catherine was laid.

Suspicions arose, that since this was after Catherine had died,
She couldn't be held accountable, Renée might have lied.

~The following day~

After consulting with the lawyer, Mike checked to hear what Thomas had to say,
76 million was withdrawn over the course of yesterday.
After being accused of theft, did she move the money to an offshore account to stay,
Was this more than a scam or was it really Renée?

"I know how this looks, but the evidence is clear, Renée did in fact move 76 million from the company's outsourcing account and added it to her own, where she later withdrew it all over the course of yesterday.
I yacht was purchased using the exact amount from that very account."
Thomas outlined

"That's absurd!!
She literally under house arrest, how could she possibly have done that.
Come on we're talking about Renée here. She hates yachts especially since my drive for a yacht is what drove us apart."
Mike replied

"I know and that's what makes this even more complicated!!
We found camera footage of Renée leaving the hospital room all angered after you went in ."
Thomas replied

"So?
That's natural, I'd be angry if she came in and saw her husband, Harry and her sister in the same hospital at the very same time.
I don't get your motive."
Michael stated

"Catherine was never seen alive since then."
Thomas replied

"No.
You can possibly -"

"I'm just showing you the motive.
And as soon as Jordan identifies this before the court date, I don't think we have a chance defending Renée."
Thomas interjects

"I gotta go.
I need a drink!!"
Mike replied

Mike left the diner, and stopped at a bar,
Across the street was a unfamiliar car.
Tinted black, lights were on,
As he completed his 5th round, the car was gone.
He picked up the kids from their day at school,
The wanted Ice cream or it was the pool.
He pulled over to buy Ice cream by the park,

While making his purchase he sensed something dark.

He could not believe his eyes, he didn't finish the bottle of vodka, but he had most,
He had to be hallucinating or seeing a ghost!!

"Step away from my kids!!"
Mike shouted

"Don't you think I'd be a great stepmom?"
Alena replied

"I'm not gonna tell you twice!!"
Mike replied

"Fine, and for the record I'd never hurt your kids.
By the way, how's Renée?"
Renée chuckled

"I knew you were behind this!!!
but how, they found your body; throat slashed with my hand cuffs!?"
Mike uttered

"You know as the chief of police, your really dumb.
I told you"family is only beneficial when you need them the least"
Did you think I was just babbling?"
You'll figure it out, you always do.
Alena asked

"You know, thinking about it, Alena Anderson has a ring to if.
Don't you agree?"
Alena taunted

"I'm going to end you!!"
Mike replied

"Is that a threat?
Trust me Michael, you do not, wanna threaten me!!"
Alena replied

"Soon our dearm will become a reality, Renée behind bars, you, me and the kids, cruising out of this city with the wind in our faces."
She added

"Kids get in the car right now!!"
He shouted

"Oh Michael, you really don't have a clue of how much I love you.
But no worries, you'll see my worth soon enough, especially when both y'all don't got a career anymore."
She stated

"It all makes sense now.
We planned to run away together, I'd buy my yacht and we'd have the best time of our lives; but now that's out of the equation.
That's the reason you attacked my house and left everyone alive when you could have easily killed them, you knocked them out, took Renée finger prints on our very knife in the kitchen.

Used her lipstick to write a letter when you broke in the first time, and you took my cuffs when you knocked me out; all used to frame Renée to get her out the picture so she could rot in prison and you'd have me!! You bitch!!!"
Mike uttered

"Well that took you long enough!!
Which still raises the question, if my throat was slashed and my body is currently undergoing autopsy, how am I alive?

Now that my love, is a question that will continue to haunt you until you promise to run away with me!!
It's quite simple, you make it clear that it's You, Me, Us and I can make all this go away.
Renée won't be in prison but she won't have you of course, you decide if you want us to keep the kids or not."
She addressed

"You're delusional!!"
Mike exclaimed

" Maybe so, but delusional or not, I'm your only way out of this.
To everyone else, I'm dead!!
And no one will believe a man that's desperate to save his wife from the metal bars of society, who claims he saw the "dead" who is now "alive" after he has been tested to be drinking more than the average.
And your kids..... You're kids can't help you, they're just try to take up for their daddy!!!!"
She laughed

"Don't worry, the Ice cream guy isn't gonna say anything, he'll be dead in 5 minutes."
She added

Mike attacked her and successfully took her down,
He called for help so he would have witnesses, but no one was around.
But out of nowhere, a cop car pulled over and injected Mike,
Helped up Alena as she walked off saying "Sike".

How is Alena even alive?!!
Does this stems further from the hive?
Not to mention, who is this "cop" ?
When does the revelations stop?
