With a smile, he stepped into the dark room and guided his hand to the light switch on the wall. He turned on the lights and marched toward the board.The basement was empty and it smelt of rust and dust. Charlie cleans his apartment consistently but he never went down to the basement with a broom. It had no windows and the tight air seemed not to bother him.He marched to the flat board and tucked his hands into his pockets. On the whiteboard were photos of Ken, crossed with the letter X in red.With an impish grin, Charlie grabbed a red marker from the table and began to draw imaginary lines on the board while mumbling incoherent words.He dropped the marker to the floor and turned around with a wide grin, a mischievous one."I'm coming for you Ken and I swear to God, you won't see me coming." He declared with bloodshot eyes, bearing vengeance.Charlie

His Ascension I’m a liar
Ken turned to Jane. He was ready to talk. As far as he was concerned, he was tired of the way they'd been ignoring each other when they should have sorted their differences a long time ago.Jane exhaled and took off her seatbelt. She turned to Ken and before his lips could part, she spoke."Look Ken if you want to ask me questions about my personal life then I'll advise you don't do so." She pointed a finger at him and looked him straight in the face. "Remember, you made a promise never to do so."Ken began to shake his head. "I'm ready to break that promise, Jane. It's been three fucking years and I can't say a few things about my girlfriend. I don't even know the people around her or where she comes from. I feel like a fool Jane." He screamed at her face, his voice was ringing with anger and frustration.Jane quickly turned away.

It was a few minutes past 5 pm."What are you up to dad?" She demanded, trying to get a glimpse of the photographs that were resting on the stool beside her father.He grabbed the pictures and presented them to her. "You don't have to stress your poor neck. Look at them." He threw the photos on her lap and picked up the glass of red wine that was on the table.The moment Jane uncovered the pictures, her eyes widened in horror.

A while ago, he was keen on seeing Charlie's record and seemed like he will do anything to get it, and now, he was leaving.She stretched her hand and before she could mumble "Excuse me, Dr. Ken," he walked out with a bright smile.She sighed and propelled a file toward her.The hopeful Ken walked past the receptionist at her counter with a smile.

As long as he is yet to find out the answers he needed regarding Charlie. Dinner can wait.Ken walked out to the verandah and began to pace aimlessly.What if Miranda doesn't show up? His mind taunted him. He shook his head in disagreement. She promised to show up and might show up. All he had to do was remain patient and wait for her to arrive.His thoughts were interrupted by the revving of a black cab. Ken traced his way out of the verandah and was hoping the car will come to a halt in front of his apartment and it did.He sighed in relief when he saw Miranda stepping out of the vehicle. She sorted the driver and began taking steps toward Ken.He remained rooted to his spot. He began to ponder. Should he w
