Please, come in while I call my dad,” Landon said with a gesture. The duo walked towards the couches. Professor MacPherson sat down on a couch, while Landon sauntered towards the dining room. “Daddy, professor MacPherson is here,” Landon said when he got to the dining room. “I have been waiting for him. Tell him to join us at the dining table,” Mason said. “Yes, Landon,” Evelyn said. “Alright,” Landon said. He took a spoonful of the beans and sauntered away. “My parents asked you to come to the dining room,” Landon said when he got to the sitting room. “Alright; let’s go,” professor MacPherson said. The twosome left the sitting room for the dining room. “Good morning, professor MacPherson!” Evel

Have you seen your uncle?” Peyton said. “No; he hasn’t come home since he left in the morning,” Margaret said and gazed at Peyton’s face. “Alright; you can go,” Peyton said. “Alright, aunt,” Margaret said and sauntered away. “I’m sure you heard her.

Peyton stood up from the couch, she clutched her cup, sipped a little water and dropped the cup back on the table. She left the sitting room for her bedroom and soon returned to the sitting room, clutching her purse. “ I am sorry to have kept you waiting,” Peyton said as she walked into the sitting room. “It’s nothing,” Professor MacPherson said with a smile. Peyton sat down on one of the couches,

Have you eaten anything?” professor MacPherson said and glimpsed at the television screen. “Yes, dad; Mrs. Evelyn brought fried rice for us. I kept your own in the oven,” Ayla said. “I didn’t have a chance to get my lunch, so I am famished now,” Professor MacPherson said and yawned. “Dad, go and eat your food,” Ayla said and quickly fixed her gaze on the film she was watching. “I think I have to accede to your idea. When I am done eating, you will turn off the television,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad,” Ayla said. Professor MacPherson stood up

Jeremy alighted from the car, he sauntered towards the uncompleted building and entered through the pithead. When he got inside the uncompleted building, he could see Adriel, who was veiled and tied to a chair. Jeremy walked to Adriel, he unveiled him and loosed him from the chair. Jeremy brought out his gun as a means of protection as he dragged Adriel out of the building. “Let me be!” Adriel screamed all along. “It’s time to keep quiet and enter the car, or I do what you don’t like,” Jeremy said when they got to where the car was parked. Jeremy opened the door to the back seat and pushed Adriel inside the car. Logan, who was sitting at the back, knocked Adriel’s head and said, “Keep quiet, pothead!” Jeremy sat beside Dickson at the front and Dickson started the car. The car gently disappeared into the

Stand up now!” Adalyn tearfully stood up from the couch, she looked at her husband and carried a step forwards. “I will miss you, Adalyn,” Silas said and tears ran down his face. “It’s alright, Silas, Logan said jocularly, and Charles laughed. “Mr. Silas, do you know our faces now?” Charles said. “Yes, sir,” Silas said. “Wow! It means you can easily point fingers at us when you see us somewhere else,” Charles said. “I will not do that,” Silas said, and cleaned the tears on his face. Charles laughed and said, “You will!

Logan ignored Adalyn, he took out his gun from where he hid it and pointed it to Silas. Silas stood up from the couch and tried to collect the gun Logan was pointi
