Chapter 2

Ryan got to his apartment at Bathwick Drive, and when he got there his bags were outside, he was shocked and a written note was placed on his bag. It was a quit notice, for him to vacate the apartment.

His landlord was able to get his property outside after getting a court order. Ryan had not paid for a long time and had been sneaking in and out of the building.

His uncle has been in the hospital for months and all his money has been used to pay his uncle's medical bills.

He didn't know whether to feel anger, pain or disappointment. 

In less than five hours he has lost his job, was betrayed by his girlfriend and is now homeless. 

He had no other place to stay and he couldn't stay at the hospital with his uncle and didn't want his uncle to know he had been sacked or chased out of the house.

He was still thinking of how to get money to save his Uncle, he didn't mind doing anything even if it meant doing something illegal. 

All he wants is to make sure his uncle is alive.

The thought of going over to his rich friend, Andrew Murphy, came to his mind. 

He immediately strode out of the building and kept his bag under one of the staircases. He rushed towards Auburn Lane.

He got Andrew's place, Andrew owns a nightclub called Stellar Groove Club. He is from an influential and rich family. His father, Mr. Steven Murphy owns Quantum Dynamics Inc. one of the best tile manufacturing companies in Brentwood.

He arrived at the nightclub, it was filled with people and some were still standing outside, Andrews clubhouse is the best clubhouse in Brentwood and he could hear music coming from the building. 

Ryan was still in his delivery clothes and sweating, he was breathing heavily and one could tell he came to the club running.

He met one of the security guards, who knew him and asked about his boss.

Ryan has been to the club on several occasions, but that was when he came to deliver the package Andrew received through their delivery shop.

The security picked up a phone from his Pant pocket and dialed His boss's number.

“Hey, boss, Ryan is here to see you.” the security guards said.

“Bring him to my office,” Andrew commanded. 

The security signaled another security to cover for him, so he could lead Ryan to Andrew's office.

They strode past the crowd as they moved to Andrews's office. 

They arrived at the office, Andrew was busy, so he told the girls in his office to excuse him so he could talk to his friend Ryan.

Ryan and Andrew have been friends since childhood but Andrew's parents have been against their friendship, they even sent Andrew to another city to study just to keep him away from Ryan. 

Since Andrew came back to Brentwood they haven't been on good terms as before.

He ordered the security to leave them alone.

He was seated on his velvet chair, he stared at Ryan from head to toe, he was breathing fast and sweating. He looked tattered.

“Hello Ryan, how are you doing?” Andrew asked with a smile on his face.

Ryan took a deep breath before answering the question 

“I'm fine…..not fine,” he said, with his face etched with worries.

Andrew looked at him in confusion placing his hands across his chest.

“What is it, why are you not fine,” Andrew asked.

“I need your help, my uncle is in the hospital and we need money for his surgery, the doctor said we need fifty thousand dollars,” Ryan said. 

He continues “I need it urgently or my uncle will die and I can't allow him to die, he is the only family I have left. Please, help me out. ” Ryan said.

“I will work in the clubhouse or do anything for you.”

Andrew was confused by Ryan's words. He laughed loudly, his laugh got Ryan ogling around the room to be sure it was just the two of them that were sitting in the room.

Andrew once told Ryan to leave his delivery job and come work for him at the clubhouse, but Ryan rejected it, cause he didn't want to work in a clubhouse after his uncle warned him. 

“You will work at the clubhouse or do anything,” Andrew asked.

“Yes, please I need to save my uncle's life.” Ryan pleaded.

“I don't have any job at the clubhouse, but I have a job for you, I want you to help me deliver something to someone,” Andrew stated.

Ryan hesitated for a moment thinking of what Andrew wanted him to deliver, but that's not important to him, what is important is getting the money for the surgery.

Andrew picked up the intercom and dialed for his assistant to come over. 

The assistant Richard came inside with two other hefty security guards.

“Will I get the money now or after the delivery?” Ryan asked.

Andrew furrowed His brow, as he gazed at Ryan.

“For the money, I will pay you half now and I will send the remaining half after you have delivered the goods for me.”

“Hand him over the package and the location," he ordered the assistant manager to give him the package and the address of the location.

“I have sent it,” he said, as the assistant manager showed the receipt of payment.

“Okay.” He said.

His mind was full of excitement for the first time in some hours, knowing he would be getting the full payments after making the delivery.

“Deliver my goods in one piece, You need to go now, the client will be there in an hour,” he ordered.

Ryan quickly got up and grabbed the package from Andrew's assistant. 

He was running fast holding the package, he didn't care about what was happening around him or if someone was looking at him.

He was in a rush to deliver and not keep Andrew's client waiting.

“Uncle you will not die, I have got the money, I will save you,” he said to himself as he ran to make the delivery.
