010. CEO of Fashion & Styles!

Turning the mobile in her hand, she sees the reflection of a man's face on its blank screen and her shiver magnifies, making the mobile she is holding slips from her grip.

She slowly turns around toward that man, her eyes red in terror, middle of her forehead wrinkled, her eyebrows raised and pulled together, her lips stretched and tensed and pulled backwards, her back leaning against the wall.

She slowly manages to stand up against the wall, facing that man and starts pressing the bell button with one hand and tapping the door with the other repeatedly in distress.

He stands in front of her, enjoying watching her tremble in fear of him. And when he is about to grab her, her mom comes out of her home and pushes him away from her, taking her into her arms and consoling her.

"What the hell are you doing here, David?!" her mom shouts at that man angrily.

"What am I doing?! I'm reuniting with my daughter, Melissa! It's been so long!" David says.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Can't I meet with my own daughter? Kate? Don't you say hello to your daddy?!" David says with an evil smile.

Kate can't take it anymore and so she runs into her home, closes the door and leans against it, listening to her mom and dad's argument outside.

"Why do you torment her?! She is your own daughter!" Melissa yells at David.

"What manners did you teach to your daughter?! She doesn't even greet her father when he comes from such a far distance to visit her. She thought she can escape from me and live happily ever after with her sweet and caring mother by getting transferred to this city without me knowing! But I knew about her plan and arranged for her kidnap as an unforgettable welcome gift by her loving daddy." David reveals his evil deed to Melissa.

"What!? It was you?! How could you do that to her? And here I was hoping that you changed at least a bit! I should've known better! It is true that people don't change, then! Leave, David! Just get out of here and don't dare to come back here ever again!" Melissa furiously yells at David to leave.

"Whatever!" David leaves annoyed.

At night, Tom and Messy sit on the top of the apartment building and chat for a long time quite often just like they are doing right now.

"You heard the name Fashions and Styles, right?" Messy asks Tom.

"Yeah! It's one of the top ten magazine companies in the city! Why do you ask?" Tom asks back.

"Do you know who owns that?" Messy asks.

"No!" he replies. "What's with your questions? This a quiz or something?!"

"Melissa fox. She is the owner of that company." Messy says.

"Am I supposed to know that name?!" Tom asks annoyed.

"You idiot! Try to use your brain once in a while! She is our new captain Kate's mom!" Messy scolds Tom.

"What!? So, she is a spoiled bitch born rich?!" Tom gets surprised, saying, "If she had all that fortune, why did she even bother going through hell to become a captain?!"

"Exactly! And that's not even the best part!" Messy says excited.

"I don't believe you!" Tom says shocked.

"Our new captain is the CEO of Fashions and Styles." Messy reveals the spoiler to Tom, saying, "After getting transferred to this city, she turned this city's branch of theirs into their head branch and is running the company making time from her busy captain schedule."

They both are chatting when both receive a message from the precinct that everybody should attend roll call at eight in the morning from tomorrow onwards.

"Who does she think we are?! Tenth graders?!" Tom says pissed.

"Honestly, I haven't seen anyone like her in my entire life till now! What a sadistic weirdo!" Messy's pissed too.

"I bet she would be sound asleep by now without any tensions and fears, tormenting us like this!" Tom says angrily.

Back at Kate's place at the same time,

Locking herself up in her bedroom, Kate sits trembling in a corner thinking about her dreadful encounter with her dad.

"Kate! Please open the door, baby! I can understand what you're going through right now! Please let me in, Kate!" Melissa repeatedly bangs Kate's door worried about her, saying, "he's your dad, Kate! You don't have to fear him! But don't worry! He's gone now and I won't let him near you ever! Please open the door! Let me embrace you, Kate! You don't have to go through it alone! Let me help you! Please, Kate!"

But Kate can't hear any of it, going through a trauma and just sits there shaking with fear all night.

Next day at nine in the morning,

"That idiot is still sleeping! He missed the roll call again! I called him twenty something times but he didn't respond even once! Does my phone call have no value at all! You answered my call then why didn't he, Jack?!" Messy calls Jack from Piper and Baker.

"That Kate is the right one to teach that lazy guy a lesson it seems!" Messy says on the call when Jack gets annoyed and places his mobile over Tom's ear who is sound asleep.

Hearing the word Kate, Tom wakes up, jumping out of his bed and throws that mobile at Jack.

"Oh, no! What's the time? Shit! I missed my roll call today and what's more Kate can drop a bomb on me saying that's the second test and that I failed miserably in it! Why didn't you wake me up, Jack?!" Tom shouts at half asleep jack, getting ready quickly.

He takes a shirt from his cupboard and asks Jack to press/iron it, trying to shake him out of his sleep when Charlotte knocks on the open door, holding an ironed shirt,saying,"it's yours. I pressed it for you."

"But that's not what I was thinking of wearing today." Tom says awkwardly and when she is about to leave after hearing his words, he stops her and gently takes his shirt from her, saying, "it's okay. Anyhow it's pressed, so."
