CHAPTER 320
Desmond pounded his fist on the door, his face a fierce mask of determination and his voice a low and frustrated growl.His face was a twisted and furious portrait of desperation as he sought some relief from the situation he was experiencing.Meanwhile, Brody was hiding behind a firewood space just outside Desmond’s house. The firewood were very plenty so it was easy for Brody to attach himself very cleanly and hide there.Brody knew that it was time to hide because he wasn't really asleep when Desmond went outside to take the call. He was still very much anxious and he heard that something was going on outside.They drew closer to the curtain because he was already having doubts about trusting Desmond. The words he heard from Desmond and especially when he was mentioning his name repeatedly suggested to Brody that someone had asked for him.He didn’t wait to get more information and be sure of what exactly he was hearing before he took to his feet and made his way to the wooden wind
CHAPTER 319
“You can hear me properly, Desmond. Can't you?” Mr. Lawrence spoke. “I said that there is a young boy you took with you. My men were able to get this information through the use of their binoculars. This young boy happens to be someone dear to me.”Desmond’s heart sank and a sudden chaos formed in his whole body. He wondered if he had done bad by helping the young boy.No wonder the boy was hiding something from him? What exactly had the boy been hiding from him? He started realizing that there was something special about the boy that made him be in such a condition.What else could have made him stay all out alone in the lawn at such a time of the day - it was quite weird by all standards.Did he do wrong by trying to help the boy?A million thoughts travelled through his mind in very little time.“Sir, it is true that there was a boy that I saw in the lawn area.”“What’s his name? Did you ask for his name?” Mr. Lawrence asked.“Yes, sir. I asked for his name,” Desmond responded. “H
CHAPTER 318
Meanwhile, Desmond sat in the stern, his eyes gleaming at the moonlight as he glided through the rivers with grace.“Come on, Brody apply a little more strength, can you?” Desmond spoke kindly.“Just take it smooth and easy and we will get to our destination. It’s not as far as it looks, trust me.”The water lapped against the sides of the boat as Brody rowed with all of his strength, his arms arching with the strength of his focus as he tried to stay on the task at hand.The boat cut through the water and moved smoothly, the wind whipping above them as they travelled down the river.Meanwhile, Brody was feeling sleepy all through the 25-minute journey until they finally got to the edge of the shore on the other side.Desmond and Brody got away from the boat, their bodies wet and slippery as they got onto the dry land.“You might want to use this to clean yourself,” Desmond spoke, offering Brody a napkin which he used to clean off the water on his body.“Clean off everything, okay?”“
CHAPTER 317
Brody’s breath caught in his throat the moment the voice reached his ears.His eyes were searching in the darkness for the source of the voice and he could see the figure of a man at the other end of the pond.His mind was racing with thoughts of escape and danger. Could the man possibly be a dangerous person who wanted to harm him? The thought of him running away from that spot was getting stronger each moment.“Hey! Are you safe there? I want to help you.”“Can you hear me?”“Raise a hand if you can hear me!”Brody’s eyes darted back and forth with a deadly flicker of indecision, his brow furrowed with a wrinkle of concern. He knew that if he raised his hand, he was going to accept the man’s gesture.His mind was a whirl of thoughts as he deliberated on what was going to be best for him.Was Della and the rest still going to come for him? His original reason for thinking about passing the pond was in the hope that perhaps Della had gone over there to look for him.It was a very wild
CHAPTER 316
“What clue do you have to come to that conclusion. I really want to believe you, Alan. I have come to take this issue so seriously that I cannot sleep at night if we don't have a headway in this matter.”Alan heaved a deep sigh of understanding. He realized that every one of them was also deeply rooted in the tension. “Alright, listen. From the phone call, you can see that the guards were also trying to play things safe.”“They didn't want to give too many clues and that was why they picked the phone call at first without saying anything.”“I get that we are all over the edge but we need to think logically about this so that we don't cause more problems for ourselves.”“If we go back inside, we would have ourselves to blame for it. The guards and even Mr. Lawrence himself would have been the ones speaking through that phone if they indeed had Brody.”“They just want to know if the phone was something we gave to him and that was why I was saying that we shouldn't talk to them.”“Becaus
CHAPTER 315
“So what makes you think that they didn't already track us when they picked the call,” Della’s eyes were a flaming flare of tension. “Since you are so convinced that they could track us despite us already being two steps ahead of them.”That was the first time that Alan and Della were going to have something close to an argument. It was almost a weird thing to see that they had a stark difference in views. They were always the cool-headed and strategic ones but this time it was as if they were taking the tension out on each other.“Guys, calm down,” Jackson spoke with a soothing flow as he attempted to put a calm to the storm of confusion. “We can't afford to be divided right now. We have to stay together if we are going to get through this. Don’t let us lose what we have already gained. We have gotten this far and we can definitely get past this.”Alan and Della then took a deep sigh as they stopped the argument. The situation was a little tough but they had to take some quietness
