It was yet another meeting in the NXX quarters except the mood in the air said otherwise. The room was quiet save for the low hum of the computer screens, giving voice to various buzzing emotions. The room was silent and yet it wasn't. Everyone seemed a bit tense. Well everyone except a key member of the NXX. Ever since Letha Graye's case came to a close, Rosa has not been attending any of the NXX meetings and has taken a leave from the office. Nothing was out of the ordinary about that except for the fact that she did not answer any of the calls or replied to any of the messages either.
"Has anyone been able to contact her yet?" Artem start glancing at everyone's faces
"I tried to call her yesterday but she didn't pick up." Marius says
"She hasn't replied to any of my messages either" Luke adds
And room falls silent once again. They thought that she still needed time after this case so everyone chose to give her some space, but the fact that she won't pick up calls or reply to any texts made them worried. It took the boys their everything not to just drop everything and rush over to her apartment to check on her. But alas all they could do was just wait.
The next day while Artem was working in his office he received an unexpected call from the reception saying that someone wanted to meet him.
In the office walks a tall young man probably in his early twenties. He had brown hair and eyes a light shade of rose
"Hello? May I come in?" He asks
Artem didn't recognize that man. He assumed he was another client seeking legal aid. But this stranger never specified that.
"Yes. You may" He said as the stranger walked in. He extended his hand as a formal greeting just as the man bowed in his own was of greeting. They both froze mid action.
The stranger was the first to recover
"Oh right" He looked at Artem apologetically as he shake hands with him in greetings
"So, how may I help you?" Artem asked
"Yes. Im just here to deliver these." The stranger said as he handed Artem a very familiar stack of documents
"Rosa asked me to deliver these to you" The man said
Artem froze and glanced at the man. This time he paid attention to all the details. He was a little hesitant and perhaps afraid? as he asked
"....and who might you be?"
"Oh. She didn't tell you?" The stranger said continuing
"I'm her brother. Allen." He stated
"I'm here to visit her"
Artem released a breath he didn't know he was holding he seemed much more relaxed now that he knew the relationship between the two.
"Ah, I see." He smiled "but why didn't she herself deliver these documents herself? Is she okay?" He asked his voice laced with concern
Allen reassured her saying "ah no no! She's okay! It's just that we have some family issue so she's busy packing"
"Packing?"
"Oh yes um-" He handed the senior attorney a formal letter for a long leave
His eyes widened for a millisecond before he schooled his expression once more as he looked over at the contents of the letter before giving a curt nod.
"I see. Well thankyou for delivering these to me" Artem said as Allen left his office
"Well...this is unexpected " He thought
Something like this has never happened before....perhaps....he should check up on her?
Up Next...
"Stop fighting you two" The two siblings froze as they looked back at the man walking their way with an obvious scowl on his face
Everyone sat at the round table to start their so called family meeting
"I wish to retire and so you've all been gathered here to prove yourself worthy of the seat to become the next head"
