Rob was pinching between his brows. He was getting agitated and the couple was nowhere to be seen even after he conveyed the situation. The cops were getting annoyed as he didn't allow them to step upstairs to arrest Alvin.
They had the anticipatory bail but using it had an adverse effect on the company and Alvin's reputation than being helpful to Alvin. They need to handle the situation meticulously or else Skylark will be affected by these unending troubles directed toward Alvin.
'Ring… Ring…' Rob checked his mobile screen and glanced at the cops who were forced to drink coffee. Flashing an awkward apologetic smile, he went aside to answer Ean's call.
[What the duck… New drama every day. Does your boss think of me as a Public relation agent? What the duck should I say to the preservation committee?] Ean burst into flames on the other end.
Skylar was at the final stage signing the projects with the preservation committee of Narnia. They had almost bagged hundreds of millions worth of projects to conserve and revamp the old museum and centuries-old palace of Narnia and also build a contemporary museum.
Alvin and Anya being in the legal cases and discussed in the news channels would bring up Skylar's name repeatedly. Thus the government committee could call off the deal.
Rob could hear the faint noises of the female newsreader from Ean's side. Although Ean sounded annoyed at Alvin's nonstop troublesome events in Narnia, Ean was undoubtedly worried for Alvin. So Rob didn't respond and waited for Ean to remove his frustration so that Ean could go and fake some smiles for the committee people.
Ean bleated some more time before he calmed down. Then he sneered, [Living in fear!? My foot. Wilson is something to lodge a stalking case on Alvin.]
Rob's unamused voice followed to respond to Ean, "We indeed sent people to monitor Janet Wilson's movements." That's the reason there was a warrant to arrest Alvin.
'Pfft'
Ean choked on his coffee at the other end and coughed hard. There was a moment of silence due to disbelief. The next second, Rob pulled his mobile away when Ean burst into another round of furious complaints.
Rob heard the footsteps and saw Alvin alighting the stairs, hand in hand with Anya. Alvin was expressionless and Anya was distant. There was no panic or anger but their reaction was colder and more oppressing.
Rob's eyes shifted to the cops who stood up. He expected the cops to speak with Alvin but they saluted and greeted Anya, "Officer Owen."
Rob: "..."
There was a brief pause in Anya's reaction before she nodded identifying the cop as her subordinate for her first independent mission, "Captain Richard," Then she added plainly, "You may call me Mrs. Matthews or Owen." She meant to say she had resigned.
Rob silently watched Anya check the warrant and the cops admired the delicate lady forgetting their displeasure. He realized the cops were silent for so long because they knew Alvin was Anya's husband.
His eyes went to Alvin who was pretending to be under the protection of his wife and following her diligently. If Rob didn't know how sly Alvin was, he would have believed his sight.
Well, Rob wasn't surprised either. Anya was an expert in her field and Alvin could only drop his guard down if Anya was taking charge of the situation.
Anya had heard the whole situation from Alvin. Alvin was in trouble for keeping people behind Janet, however, it wasn't as serious as Wilson was pretending to be.
Folding the paper, she plainly stated, "I will bring my husband." - to the police station.
Captain Richard and the lieutenant looked at each other. Anya didn't deny Alvin keeping people behind Janet. However, they have to arrest Alvin just like any other criminal. They have already respected Anya and waited so long.
Captain Richard tried to interject hoping Anya wouldn't give them a hard time. Since the Hill Valley was the posh well-maintained regency, there were no media reporters. However, there will be a crowd at the station house. "But…"
Anya shoved the paper into an envelope and stated as if she had no emotions and the situation didn't matter to her. "Fourth point, Section 354D. Stalking.-- Any man who in the particular circumstances such conduct was reasonable and justified."
Meeting the Captain's gaze, Anya added, "Reason for the action: Janet Collins Wilson gave birth to my husband." She purposefully didn't mention Janet as a mother.
There was a time she hoped she could bring Alvin and Janet closer but Janet lost every ounce of respect from Anya.
Captain Richard and the lieutenant: "..."
Anya legitimized Alvin's actions, "Justification for the action: My husband is simply rich." Richness attracts trouble. So she stated the fact while hiding the truth.
Rob had to look away to stop himself from smiling or laughing at her way of dealing. The messy thoughts in his head cleared out seeing Anya at command.
Alvin adored his wife. He might be sly but his Goofball was too smart and plays with the laws on the tips of her fingers. If not the hacker, or officer, she could become a successful law practitioner. Wouldn't she?
Captain Richard was speechless. They had no idea Janet was the birth mother of Alvin. If they knew it, the stalking case would have held no value as they would need a valid reason for a son to stalk his mother. The warrant was issued because Janet was a celebrity, stalked by a man.
Anya passed the copy of the arrest warrant to Rob as she continued, "I want Mr. and Mrs. Wilson to be questioned separately at the police station." She wants to see the entertainment queen and her husband's performance on their script.
Captain Richard still felt novel to work around Anya who was too swift with her actions. From the confidence and look Anya had, he knew the case was going to take an ugly turn for Wilson.
"Mrs. Wilson is being escorted back to the city by cops." With the warrant being partially invalidated, Richard agreed to Anya, "Mrs. Matthews, please follow us right behind."
Anya nodded, "Thank you. Give me five minutes." Then she patted Alvin, "Call Zane downstairs."
Alvin dropped a message to Zane's Ipad. His eyes followed his wife who elegantly walked like a lady into the hallway until the cops' eyes could reach her. Then she sprinted which brought an alluring smile to his face. 'Goofball.'
Nevertheless, his smile disappeared soon. His wife should have been smiling in satisfaction while snuggling in his arms or being mischievous around him instead of dealing with the mindless schemes.
Yes, he did expect this day but those people had a chance to live their life without disturbing his little family. Neither Casper nor Janet seemed to understand it.
It's time that they end everything once and for all.
