-3rd Person-

Alice Hart scurried out of her car after a long day of work. She pushed open the door to the jail and checked in at the desk. This had become part of Alice's routine to come see him as often as possible. She wanted to feel close to him. She wanted to be his everything.

 Waiting patiently behind the Plexiglas that separates the 2, Alice smiled when she saw him being brought into her view. Even in that orange jumpsuit he looked devilishly handsome to the love sick Mrs.Hart 

"Hello Greg." She said twirling a piece of hair seductively. "Hello Alice." The man replied boredly. 

According to Greg Scott, Alice Hart was simply a means to an end and if that meant allowing her to believe they were lovers he would do so until she was no longer needed. "How had jail treated you my love?" Alice grinned even though Greg didn't return it 

"Did you get the job done?" Greg asked trying to get this over with. Alice's goofy smile vanished "No. I messed up." She mutter ashamed of her mistake 

"Alice you had one job. Figure out when she's alone. How the hell did you screw that up?" He growled in a low voice 

"I asked her about her mother and they all jumped to her defense." Greg glared daggers at the stupid woman 

"How can you be so clueless?" He asked incredulously 

"Why do you even want with a 9 year old?" This whole plan seemed insane to Alice but she would do anything to make the love of her life happy. "I want that girl to pay for what she did to me and my wife." It was her fault that Greg and Lina were in jail. If she had kept her mouth shut about her injuries everyone would be happy but no, she just had to need medical attention. The nerve of that girl 

"Are you still talking about Lina? Baby me and you are meant to be together." Alice whined. "Have you told your husband and kids about the plan?" He couldn't exactly tell Alice that he planned to dump her ass as soon as the girl was dead.

"No. The kids have taken a liking to her." Alice couldn't see how her family liked that girl but then again they weren't trying to impress the love of their lives 

"Leave Alice. I'll tell you the plan next time you visit." Greg just wanted her ugly mug out of his sight. "Alright darling. I'll see you soon." 

Greg bit his tongue knowing that his reward would be well worth this frustration. 

-Thea-

"Happy birthday Abbey!" I yelled wrapping my arms around my crazy red headed friend 

"Thanks Thee!" She replied giddily. "So Ab's how does it feel to be 10?" Collin asked joining our circle. "It feels the same as being 9." She claimed "Yeah I never understood that question. How is it supposed to feel to be a year older?" I added. My friends nodded in agreement 

"Are you guys coming to my party in a few weeks?" Abbey asked as we walked into the classroom."I am!" Me and and Collin yelled in unison 

"Jinx! You owe me a soda!" He said sticking his tongue at me. I rolled my eyes and took a seat at our table. At lunch Abbeys mom came and gave cupcakes to the whole class and we sang happy birthday.
