Rose was pacing in her room. She was ill at ease after speaking with Joe. She wondered how after all this while Shelly was still alive."How could Jackson lie and betray her like that?" She thought.She began to recall the conversation she had with Joe in her mind and it got her angrier and this made her throw her phone against the dressing mirror."Hope you are okay ma?" Mrs. Mendoza asked. Rose breath in and out and then waved her away, indicating she was okay. Mrs. Mendoza carried on with what she was doing and left her alone."I need to do something about Shelly and Jackson." She spoke out loud to herself. Rose knew the implications of Shelly being alive.Shelly was mad at Roser in the first place; the reason why she told her secret to James. Rose knew it will it be easy since the person she thought that would carry out the job for her now was actually helping Shelly."How did he side with her?" Rose thought. She poured herself a drink and began to ponder why Jackson was helping h
He was asking the wrong question." El Cato said to Joe as his partner went down on his knees and he fell on his face after the bullet hit his brain.Joe knew a bit about Mexican Mafias and he didn't want to get in this man's way, although he had no idea why he was here.But his question was answered soon."where is Jackson?" El Cato asked with a cool menace that was emanated from him."Oh!" Joe exclaimed. Now he knew why they were here and he now recalled the story Jackson told him; about his past.Although Jackson did not tell him the full story, he now understood why this dangerous looking man was here in the United States."Can I put my hands down?" Joe asked him. El Cato said yes by waving his gun after which he sat on the only chair in the room."I am also looking for him also but I know where he is." Joe said. One of El Cato's men came to him and whispered something to him."I am a man of few words but I am a man that keeps to my words. "If you can help find him, then I will let
Shelly got out of the tunnel some few minutes later and she was surprised where she found herself. "The tunnel was really a long one." She thought to herself. She wondered who might have built such a tunnel.But that wasn't her priority right now. The tunnel took her to another part of the town entirely. As she moved out of the woods unto the road, she saw a diner some meters away from her and the first thing she heard was the rumbling of her stomach.That was a signal to get something to eat. She scanned the vicinity to ascertain that no one was following her then she scurried across the road into the diner. She looked for a table that was far away from the window to sit down. As she sat down, the people who were there, having their meals stared at her briefly.She noticed it but ignored them. A slim blonde lady came to take her order. "Welcome to Downabby Diner." The lady said with an infectious smile. "Thanks." Shelly said and also returned the smile. "What would you like to ha
"I don't know how to answer that question." Ben replied. Mellisa stood akimbo and archedher eye brow.She gave her friend a knowing glance and they both smiled. "Ben! that question should notbe difficult for you to answer. It's either a yes or a no." She said.Ben suddenly closed his eyes. His mind went back to when he was cornered by Scrawny and his gang.This was a similar situation because Mellisa had put him in a situation he had no idea how he was going to come out of it."Ben! answer the question." She said with an air of anger and frustration. In the short time he had known Mellisa, he noticed that she had a short fuse and her reaction during that period was always destructive and she cared less who got hurt.Ben wondered how a nice guy like Oscar is a friend to such a girl. Ben managed to gain a bit of composure.One thing he learnt when he was cornered by Scrawny and his gang was that he was never going to allow anyone dictate what he said or did.He decided, after that day
The words stunned Ben. He did not know how to explain what was happening. The confusion on his face was so palpable that he thought what had happened to him back home was reoccurring here in the states."Ho-w, ho-w, how is that possible that I raped Mellisa? Especially when she was the one that invited me to the room because she said she wanted to talk to me.Besides I was at work." He managed to ask the policeman who read out his rights to him again. Ben looked at Oscar for support but he was as confused as Ben. "There should be a mistake here. I think you have the house." Oscar said."Do you know Miss Mellisa Gibson." The policeman asked, Oscar. "Yes! She is my friend." Oscar replied."So that means that I do not have the wrong house." The policeman said and asked Ben to move out of the house into the police car."Just go with them. I will be right behind you." Oscar said to Ben as he moved in a zombie like manner towards the police car."How is this happening to me? What did I d
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" Shelly asked the tall dark complexioned man who was heavily built.He looked like a body-guard. He had sideburns on his face. There was a scar on the left side of his cheek and on his right shoulder.The scar looked like a scar he got from a brawl. As he held Catherine at gun point, he asked Shelly to sit down.He had an African accent when he spoke. "What do you want?" Shelly asked?" "It is not about me.I am carrying out an order." He said it with no sort of emotion on his face. Shelly did not know how to handle the situation.Catherine looked at Shelly with an expression that said, "I did not know this was serious. You were right." Shelly nodded her head to her, knowingly."Please, I will appreciate it if you can let us leave." Catherine said and Shelly nodded in response to what she said."I have money. I will pay you. Please, just let us leave." Catherine added. The tall dark man just looked at both of them and smiled.The sur
Ben was taken into a car and dropped exactly at the same spot where he was abducted. "It's best you do what you have been told." Drip said to him and kicked him in his mid section while Ben was lying face down on the ground.He heard them giggle as they drove off. He was there for about five minutes before he began to get up himself.He sat down like a monk and looked up at the sun that was smiling down on him. "What a morning." He managed to say with the mouth that was swollen and bloody."Please excuse me." He said to lady that was about to walk past him. The lady stooped and gave him a total look over but she did not walk off fortunately."What is it by the time?" He asked the lady. The lady obliged him by telling him the time. "It's mid-day." She said and walked off but she kept glancing back at him until she was nowhere in sight."What a way to begin the day. It's way past morning time." Ben said and struggled to get up on his feet.He did not know where to go. He contemplated
It's been two days since Ben was abducted. Tomorrow was the beginning of the trial regarding the accusation that was labeled against him.He had moved on from that because he looked energetic and focused. The injury on his nose had healed although there was a scar on the lower part of his lips whixh would heal up would in some few days time.He was at home because his boss, Mr. Andrew gave him two days off. Ben had undergone some growing up in the short time that he had been in the United States.He knew that he still had a long way to go as regards looking for his father but he wanted to build a life for himself and have a foot hold on the country and then he would properly look for his father.He was reading some files given to him by his lawyer and he was going through them when he heard the opening of the door and the sound of it closing almost immediately it was opened.He suddenly got up to his feet as if he was preparing for an intruder who was coming into the house to hurt h
