You won't be It," the voice of a boy said and Macy stopped."Kay, have you found her?” A girl asked.She could clearly tell that the girl was Mel but she had no idea who the boy was.His voice want familiar.She decided to go to them and see who it was. From her memory, she could remember playing hide and seek but she couldn't remember who the boy was.As she ran back, the maze dissipated and she found herself in a house.The house looked Victorian and everything in it screamed opulence. She looked around and couldn't remember whose house it is as or what she was doing there.“Mel?" She shouted but the voice echoed back to her.The chairs in the house looked expensive. Very expensive and she wondered whose house it was and why she was there.There was no sign of life save for her and then she saw Richard.His eyes la

100. As Mr and Mrs Philips were kowtowing and currying favours with their mama bear who didn't seem to care and who seemed to wish that they would just disappear off of the face of the earth, Macy was in delirium.She didn't know where she was or what to make of the situation. All she knew was that the place she was in was very hot and she wanted to get out.She could feel someone touching her with something cold and she wanted to ask the person to decrease the temperature even more but she didn't have the voice to.After a while, she felt something prick her hand and she could feel something cool and soothing running through her veins and sleep took her.But even in sleep, she couldn't sleep well because she kept having the same dream… no, the same nightmare. She wanted to wake up but even when she did, she couldn't even open her eyes. They were heavy and her body just wanted to sleep.But she could feel that there was wormhtjhg important she wanted to do but she couldn't remember wh

101. “When I disappeared for the five years, I was actually running away. Running away from work and from my family. I was tired and injured. I was limping and even if my leg healed, the bones never aligned and it was painful but I was determined to live a normal life.So, I changed my identity and all and got a job in a cafe.It didn't pay much but it kept me going until I fell in love.But now that I am in love, I am not sure that what I had wout Cassy was low at all. Now that I think about it, I think I was just grateful to her because she stood up for me when everyone else was insulting me.”"You are in love? Who's Cassy? And who are you in love with? And why didn't I know all this?” Joey interrupted and Richard groaned with annoyance from deep withing his throat.“If you interrupt me again, I won't tell you," he warned.“Sorry. It's just curiosity and … never mind. Go ahead,” Joey said."It all stared one day when I was sent to deliver food like I always did and this time, it was

102. “So, just asking… don't look at me like that Rich. You know I love you and I always got your back and that's why I want to know and if not from you, from who else?” Joey defended quickly after he saw the look Richard was giving him.Richard wasn't a fan of talking about his issues and he didn't have many friends.But from that day he talked to a boy who was being bullied from home to school, he had a person stuck to him as a parasite and he liked Joey's talkative nature and Joey didn't seem to mind even when Richard was quiet.All Joey did was talk for the both of them until Richard grew fond of him and well… here they were.Richard knew for sure that Joey would rather die than tell anyone anything about him and that was why he was here answering the man's questions.“Ask," Richard said and Joey beamed.“If she didn't plan to get you, how did you know that she was the one who you did it with?Of all the women who could have come your way, why her?" Joey asked, trying to analyse t

103. “So, it wasn't a dream? It was all real?" Macy asked as she sat on the bed.Joey was done examining her and he had concluded that she was alright.They had both been surprised that they had been talking for two hours and that's why they hadn't even thought of looking in on her.But Macy was a fighter and no sickness has ever been able to put her down.“No. It wasn't a dream," Richard answered as he held her hand.Macy looked at the interconnected palms and felt strange.When Richard first asked her to be with him, she would never have thought that they have more together than Mel and the love she had tried to deny because she wasn't pure, according to her standards.But who would have ever thought that she fell in love with the same man who took her first?She couldn't believe it and she had been so shocked that she ran a fever but she was okay now.“Yo, Rich…” Joey called with a smile that told Richard that he wasn't going anywhere and wanted an intro."Don't you have anywhere t

104. Macy looked at the caller ID and it was a new number. A number she hadn't saved in her phone book and she didn't answer.Richard didn't say anything as he looked at her and continued holding her had playing with her fingers.“So, have they been located? Maxwell, that is," Macy asked to break the tension she could feel brewing between them.She knew that Richard felt guilty for her breakdown but she wanted him to know that it wasn't any fault of his. “It wasn't your fault you know," Macy said looking at him kindly.He seemed lost in thought as he hadn't even answered hernqiestion yet.“What? Oh, sorry. Cash is still looking for them but he tells me he's on their trail. I am trying to think who might be helping them,” Richard said because something didn't feel quite right.He knew that Maxwell was just a doctor and even if he had money, it wasn't to such an extent that he could hide.Thay would only mean that someone was helping them hide. Someone who either didn't know that the c

105. Macy rode to the address and it took her roughly forty minutes and that meant that she was there before time. She had a few minutes to spare but what meant that she had time to survey the property and maybe get a hang of it.The address she had been given was an abandoned factory. It looked like it was once a paper factory since there was a lot of empty pulp drums lying around empty and all dried up.She went inside the old and dirty premises and it was all quiet.The only sound she could hear was the sound of her boots connecting with the floor softly.She knew the silent foot and she thus walked silently and she could only hear the sound of the boots because she had a trained ear.The silent foot was where one would walk silently no matter the size of their feet or the type of shoes one was wearing. It called for one lightening their legs and making the torso carry most of the weight.This is achieved by bending outwards at an angle of seventy five degrees and then projecting t
