Denver just looked at his sister. He quickly looked back at Greg who simply smiled.Joslin shocked at seeing her brother looked back at the children who stood motionless watching and clearly waiting.Both looked back simultaneously to face each other. The differences in their immediate appearance is very obvious."What are you doing here?" Denver asked looking confused."I am staying here." She looked at his outfit. "Why do you look like this?""It's better to move around. Do you mind if I come in? I never knows who is watching me." he said sounding strangely sad."I am sorry do come in. I have a surprise for you." She opened the door wider.Leo and Lea both tried to struggle but the hands that grabbed them holds them tightly. They felt the needle sinking into their arms. It was burning and feels hurt. They tried reaching for each other but was kepr separated.Aiden Cole who followed Joslin and the strange woman has been snooping around the rumbling house when he spotted the childen. H
Denver stood beside his vehicle. He looked at his watch. Then down the road. He was impatient. Reaching for his cell phone just as the message alert. The moment he finished reading it another car stop behind him. He looked up curious to see what a modest sedan she was now driving."Sorry I am late." Joslin quickly stood on her toes kissing him briefly on the cheek. The truth was she wanted him to focus behind her."A car has been following me since I left." she smiled at him.Denver hugged her briefly looking towards where she suggest."It doesn't matter. As long as people stay out of my way they can do whatever they want." He turned to walk towards the entrance of the grave yard. She followed."What are we doing here?"They paid the gate keeper. There was now purpose is his walk. Right beside the graves he stood looking."Who do you truly thinks are buried here Joslin?"She looked but her expression was puzzled. She sometimes in the past did wondered but then just shrug it from her sh
"Sir I found where she was staying." Martha handed him the address. "I arranged for two bodyguards. I served with these men. Don't go anywhere without them." Martha stood aside.Denver instantly recognised number two and one from the bar just outside of town."I don't have brandy in my office." he observed getting to his feet. He approach the men. There was no smell of alcohol on their breathe. The look in their eyes straightforward."Explain..." he said pointedly."When your major asked for help you obey." Both men instantly salute Martha. Denver actually looked surprise. " We are the reason she had gotten hurt. She never left us. The rest of the dogs run."Denver just shook his head. He showed them the address. He nods to Martha knowing now who truly has his back.Denver knew about struggling but he was disturb to know his sister raised in luxury was living like this. He stood looking at the little house in bad need of restoration.He looked at both men flanking him before he reach
“I need to talk about my past one final time, Angelo.”“I am here all the way, Joslin.”“I am surprise that no one noticed the difference with the body.”“They simply taken your brothers’ word. I also told you that my cousin was the coroner. Whatever questions there might still have been will never be answered as your body was cremated.”“This life I never wanted to acknowledge again but there was a few moments like the time my mom questioned me about you. That was one of the few times I thought she might be human.”“Tell me Joslin…” he reached for her hand entwining her fingers with his.“Joslin wait.” David called in appeal.She turned, facing him. It felt as though she was on the edge of a cliff, about to be pushed.“We could have our past again. Give it a chance, Joslin. We were happy once. We could have it all again.” He reached for her hand. The wedding rings burned his finger.Joslin disentangled her hand from his. She moved bodily a little further away from him, never question
“Who are you?” Aiden Cole questioned the two children. He has been having trouble with these two children. They never answers him but he has discovered they are talking with each other without saying an actual word. He is also worried about the strange appearance of the birds. The only time he ever appreciated their presence was the time he tried to bury Eliza Markovich alive.“If you don’t answer me I am going hurt one of you.” He warned seriously.“Leo Ricardo,” comes the answer along with a smirk. “Are you sure you will do this?” he questions with laughter in his voice.Aiden never liked kids that’s why he avoided them and refuse to have his own.“Why you sound so eager?”“Just wondering. What else to do you want to know?”Lea sits rubbing her hands together.“I am looking for your parents. Where or how do I contact them?”“I don’t understand sir. Why didn’t you talk to daddy when you kidnapped us?”Aiden feels like wringing the child’s neck. He already realized his mistake but it’
“Who am I?” the question echoes around him. He shakes his head. Denver stood motionless looking at the high walls. He was very confused as to where he was. He just can’t seem to move past what he was currently thinking. It feels like his truth but he felt like it was a lie somehow.“Hello son.” Brother Matthew spoke behind him.He turned facing the man. This was another moment he doesn’t understand.“Hello sir.” He said hesitantly.“I see, another moment of confusion.” The man folds his hands together.“I don’t understand.”“Who are you?” Brother Matthew asked.“Denver Ricardo.” He said with conviction.“I am glad. It would seem your memory is selective in remembering.” The man went and sit at a nearby bench. “It’s been months now that I found you here each morning.”“Are you serious?”“I am. What do you remember this morning?”“Well I received these dreams but I never understand them. I seem to grow up as my life begins to take shape. Nearing my early eighteenth birthday, the dreams
“Did you inject her with the final dosage?”“Yes, Eliza.”“I don’t want any trouble. I want her to do this job flawless. She must believe in the storyline.”“If you doubt me, why don’t you do a sample run to discover just how effective this is?” McAllen suggest. He was holding on firmly to the rising giggle in his throat…“Tell me your name…” Eliza holds the recorder in her hand.“My name is Raven Dark”“How old are you?”“I am a twenty something woman.”“Tell me about who you are.” Eliza kept a close watch on her facial expressions.“I have a certain chosen hectic social media life. I strongly believe in getting what I want and need, no matter the cost. Social media is my hunting ground. The tennis court where I game, set and match my relationship as it stands. There is a very specific reason or rather person for my predatory behavior.”“Who is this person?”“Denver Ricardo.”“Okay. Describe yourself?”“I am a very athletic, long leg woman, with dark brown boys-cut hair in the latest
“Denver Ricardo…” her expression a mixture of sadness and fury.“Raven…”She looked at the woman always silent but moving in her background.“What?”“I want you to stay focus. No matter what let this whole scenario play out as it is. Don’t try to change the outcome.”“I remember my lessons, my personal training, I know first-hand that the strength of fear can leave you breathless.” She looked in her rearview mirror at the woman. She senses a kind of resentment but don’t understand the origin. She sometimes wonder if she might be a figment of her imagination.Reaching the apartment, she noticed an unknown car parked in her spot. Annoyed but now on high alert she look for another spot to park. She know most of the tenants is at work, she won’t park there too long. Walking towards the front of the building through the strange car’s window she noticed a very familiar cell phone laying behind the driver’s seat. Gritting her teeth, she moved forward, making fear her best friend.With that s
Denver and Raven looked at the older woman. It was clear they need to convince her they are honorable in their intent.“What do you need to know that would convinced you to help us” Denver asked reaching for Raven’s hand.“Who are you really?” she asked flatly.“My name is Denver Ricardo. I always thought I was a certain type of person. Then there was suddenly these people entering my life. I am very wealthy. I understand you are the guardian of lost people. I can help you with immediate effect.”“No one can truly leave this city. I have tried.” Moon Dark said sounding anxious in remembering.”“This town was built on lies and deceit. Just like you I want to leave but I want my whole family. Please help us.”“Mother, I promise the girl will be safe. My son has already plotted the perfect escape. We can take you all along but at first, we need the girl.”“Hello, you fools?” McAllen giggles when he noticed the collective was looking at him.“McAllen, name your price.” Vincent Saint-Clair
Ricardo Saint-Claire was alive with various activities. Knowing what to do, they walked aimlessly around waiting for the correct moment. Their eyes and attention was sharply focused. These actions will tell if they will survive as a family,Raven just allowed people to carry her forward. At the end of the street, she found herself alone. She knew Denver has blend into the background.Then suddenly a crowd of people mingled past her. The side alley men was checking her out but she didn’t pay them much attention.“Follow me,” one of the man suddenly whispered.“Excuse me!” Startled she looked around. Amongst the crowd of people only strangers, intently she searched with her eyes. She catches sight of a woman who definitely appeared to look like she was focused on her. She wonders why the woman seemed familiar.The core of her instinct tells her she was the one that has spoken. The woman was at the end of another street, looking straight at her, waiting for her to follow.“Who are you? A
Two years...Denver and Raven walked towards the Hotel Ricardo Saint-Claire. They both has a hard look about them. Since the abduction of their children; they had becone the errand boys for one crazy man.Denver hold tightly onto the briefcase. He briefly looked at Raven. They no longer feel the need to talk. Both found a way to connect with each other."Hello sir. I have reserved the room for you." The hotel manager eagerly walked ahead of them. Once they reach the private room the man unlocked the door."I will be waiting just outside sir."Denver only nods his head before stepping inside. Raven followed and closed the door behind them."What took you so long?" McAllen who was in constant contact with them through computers looked very displeased.Denver said nothing but just opened and placed the briefcase infront of the computer. He looked at the man who can't seem to control his giggling."You have done well. Okay asked that fool just outside the door to bring it to me. It's goin
"Where is the other man?" Denver repeat his question."He is sleeping permanently." Aiden said gleefully."Okay."Denver carefully avoid looking at Raven."Sit down Aiden. I want to finish. Since the whole structure was drastically change; I want to know my truth. Hopefully we won't be seeing each other ever again." Vincent said icy.Aiden makes sure Raven sits down beside him. He suddenly realized he was learning their truths which will also expose his own dealings. He lookef at the man who he was let to believe was his nephew. This whole story was a mess. Each road only seemed to broken down ahead before starting a new path."Are you all ready?" Vincent has his hand close to the palm reader.Ever one just nods there head.Denver moved to place his hand down first. Raven quickly followed before either Vincent or Aiden could move.Once the final four men joined Denver smiled."Are you ready son?""Yes daddy." "What's going on?" Vincent was alarmed. It was clear he was no longer in con
"Leo what's happening? I was cut from the line." Raven asked urgently. They promised to work as a team. She refuse to lost Denver again."We will send you the feed mommy."Raven can feel in her body something swift in the air. She start to circle the upstairs bedroom. She had managed to slip in there when she followed the man that looked like her dead father in law."Leo...""Be careful mommy. We senses an intruder.""Is it here in the mansion or with you?" Raven sounded worried."We are protected mommy." Lea explained.Raven suddenly become quiet. She carefully looked around in the bedroom. It had belonged to Cathy Cole Ricardo when she was a teenager.While looking for a way to protect herself; she had found the girl's crawl space. Without waiting for confirmation about the intruder; she start to move.Aiden Cole slipped from the room. It had taken careful reaching before Vincent managed to stop the order. He knew the Saint-Claire family had more dark secrets but he was very curious
"Six months...six days and six hours." Denver talked into his microphone."I am also in position." answered Raven. " I have eyes on the twins.""That is good. I am going to approach the mansion now.""Be careful. We don't know what trap she might have set. ""I know. That's one devious woman." Denver looked at the estate across from where he stood. He has been keeping a sharp eye on that building. He looked at his outfit. Dressed smartly in the most expensive suit he could find on short noticed. He check his mental state...once he thought himself a loser and a fool. But he had discovered there was more than one type of truth.He walked back towards his car and climbed inside. He discovered his children was smart and just as devious. His son; Leo had told him to blend into the background. He feels proud wearing the suit he had picked and ordered. The black sport car was also his idea.Once he started the car it simmers into visibility. While he was being transported back to his past to
"Denver; open your eyes." the voice calls beside him. He looked puzzled trying to see who was calling him. It was clear the fool didn't realized his eyes was opened.He tries to get loose from the shackles but it took a moment before he understood his body was in reality motionless."Will you focus." the male voice said behind him."Where are you?" he forced his lips to move."I am behind you.""Why don't you help me?" He asked with growing frustration."I already helped you. This you must do on your own. You don't focus. Look around you.""I am." he said annoyed."No you are not. Look around. You are not tied to that wall.""Danny..." he heard his name.Denver moved his body. He nearly fell flat on his face before he understood he was free with movement. He quickly looked around until he saw her."Lisa..." he kneel beside her naked body. She feels cold and it was clear the sexual damage that was done to her body."I don't want to live anymore. " she whispered brokenly."What do you w
Denver stood looking at the girl he always thought was the most beautiful girl in the world. He briefly looked at his hand. The throbbing was less intense. He quietly wonders if he had worn the ring earlier; might he was noticed what was really gling on. He knows the girl in front of him will also disappear since he had watch her leave this world."Danny..." Lisa stood looking over the lake. The water was calm."Why did you ask me to come here? It's not like we move in the same social circles.""Please...don't judge me with who I am friends with." She still looked away from him.Denver decided to be quiet. He knows he was walking in the footsteps of the past. His reality and her current one was different. He stood beside her waiting until she was ready to talk."You are Denver Ricardo. That's your true name?" she questions sounding uncertain."What a curious way to ask me. You know that's my name.""I am just making sure. I heard a urban myth telling a story about your name." She fina
Denver placed his open palm on the palm reader. He watched Raven following him. The twins joined hands placing theirs on the palm reader. The monitors seemed to pulled them into a kind of vortex. They saw each other being pulled into different directions. It was quickly clear tthat no one has a choice. Denver suddenly made his appearance in the house on Rumble's Corner. He found himself standing in front of the door. He knew he just need to step through back into his past. He looked back but the only thing he noticed was the curtains moving from the house just across from his."Why are you just standing there boy?" His father suddenly stood in the now opened door. He looked displeased."I am coming." he looked back. Everything seemed the same but it's not. Taking a deep breath. "Might as well find out what this was all about." he told himself."Where have you been Denver," Daniel Ricardo looked very annoyed. "I am sorry. But why are you angry?""You really dare to ask me that quest
