Rosa's POV.
Every word my boss said was confirmed by this detective I have never even seen.
If these words are true, then someone is after my life.
What do I do?,where do I go?

My thoughts were interrupted by the detective clearing his voice.

"We need to think of a plan to be able to catch the criminal", he paused and added "and we have to do it fast,we don't know who the next victim is".

Mr Alfred,my boss was looking serious and thinking hard.
I was too afraid to think. All I did was just stare at the space.

"I think I have gotten a plan",said my boss."didn't he say you were his,that means he loves you", he smiled and added"Rosa you need to get a boyfriend, to make him jealous".

"But that will mean putting another life in danger", I said not wanting to cause anymore trouble.

"Yes, that is where detective Henry will come in. He will keep a watch over your lover, in order to catch the criminal".he proudly said.

"What a brilliant idea",exclaimed detective Henry.
"How do I get one", I asked
"I have someone in mind,don't worry about that", my boss responded.

  Now getting out of the office, I ran to my boss to ask him what he meant.
He just shoved the question away and signed me to get into the car.
On getting into the car, I had a phone call from an unknown number.
I picked it and it was Desmond, the man who came to my aid that day.
He asked me out for dinner, which I gladly accepted.
My boss drove to the bus station and I asked to alight there.
He stood for a long time before saying,
"I will like to invite you for dinner tonight at my place, if you have no plans tonight".
   What is he asking me out?.
"Sorry,but I have plans for tonight",I politely declined his offer. 
I saw his eyes fall,he was hurt.
I wanted to place my hand on his face and brush away the pain.
I can't be thinking this way now and he is even out of my league.
"No problem, I knew you might be having something doing, don't feel sorry about it,meet you tomorrow",he said turning to go.
I just waved and waited until his car was gone.
I waited for the bus to get home.
When I got home, I  went in and started preparing a dress for the dinner.
Yet all that time, my mind was on the issue discussed.
Why me?,I asked myself.
I need to take a nap because there is Still more time.
   I woke up 4:32,I quickly went for my bath, dressed up and applied foundation on my face.
Then my phone began to ring.
There is still more time, why is he calling now. I thought.
On picking the phone, I didn't even look at the name.
"You are so fast,are you already here",I asked.
"Sorry but I'm Alfred, your boss,", the voice replied.
"Oh, I thought it was someone else".I replied.
"Are you going out and with who", he asked
I hesitated before saying,"Yes, with Desmond".
"I only called to ask if you were okay",he said cutting the call,but judging from the voice, I knew he was lying.
I then placed the phone down and made for the door.
I was just getting to the street he dropped me the other day when I saw his car pulling over. I quickly got in and we left for this beautiful restaurant. All that while I was thinking of what my boss wanted to say.
"Are you alright?" Desmond asked
"I'm OK" I said " but this place is really beautiful" trying to divert his mind from my mood.
What is wrong with me? Here is a handsome guy looking for my attention and I'm busy thinking of another.
The dinner was really delicious,but my mind was elsewhere.
He finally asked me to be "his".
Which I agreed thinking of the plan.
Finally, I have gotten a boyfriend to play the game with.
On getting home I quickly phoned Detective Henry to tell him that I have gotten a boyfriend.
He was really happy for me so the next plan has to be done.
I had a peaceful sleep and woke up from a call from Desmond, he wanted to know how I was doing.
I got ready and left for work early because I didn't go back to the office after meeting the detective with my boss and knew there will be plenty work waiting for me today.
