Chapter 101 "Can we come in?" The voice of the policeman echoed. It was the only thing Shawn heard from the conversation the girls had with the police. Shawn did not wait for the answers, there were already shivers running down his spine. He was already feeling sick in the stomach… It was the moment he felt a dart of electricity through his body. “Are these gonna be my last days?" Shawn mumbled, squeezing himself tight in the little space he had seen in the room. “Is There anything you need inside? I only called so we could talk and not come into my home," Ava said to the policeman that stood before her. “We only wanted to see the level to which the house had been raided. We could as well put that in our report as we head back," the officer said to her. "I am not sure that is necessary, officer, but you are prepared to take a picture of that if you wish," Ava said, pointing to the glass and wood from the door that had been broken by the same people who broke into the house. “Okay
Chapter 102Mike's Pov.I was tense, even Leah could notice, seeing the way u had been vibrating. One thing I was afraid of was that we were going to be caught, or maybe someone had spilt our secret. For what it was worth, no one knew all of our plans, except for the group of men we worked with, and of course, Leah who had promised to remain quiet and act alongside the rest of us. They reached the door where someone who looked to be his guard told us to wait until we were let in. During that time, I watched Leah the whole time and it seemed like this did not matter. She looked calm, cool and collected even when it seemed we were very much in trouble."What do you think he is looking for us for?" Leah asked suddenly."Does it look like I have any idea? Of course, I don't know. We just have to pray it isn't something bad that would cause coke drastic execution…” I mumbled, shaking my head in despair."Are you afraid?" Leah asked calmly, liking her face just in front of my face."Hey, d
Chapter 103Mike's Pov.I walked right out of his office, feeling the pressure, tension and exhaustion. My back aches like I had been sitting there for days. I looked toward the guard who stood there to direct us back into the prison yard where the rest of the prisoners were. At some point, I had a feeling that I did not make the right choice by accepting the offer, but it seemed very clear that I had no other choice but to do this. There was no way I was going to get free and not be killed. From the things I heard about him, he surely doesn't care if I die or live, unless I get the work done and he gets what he wants.The door swung open and I stepped my feet into the yard. I could feel the eyes of the other prisoners feasting at me like they knew what I had just done. “I have to be careful now!" I whispered to myself, trying hard to hold tight to the shredded confidence I had remained in me. I walked in like nothing had happened, reaching for my favorite spot but I knew it was no
Chapter 104At Shawn's home, the policeman gave them a hard stare, thinking that Ava and Amelia had refused to believe him on purpose. As for Ava and Amelia, they knew they would have to be careful with whatever they said to the policeman from here on… it seemed like he knew something the others didn't."Like we said sir, there is no one here. You must have seen something else," Amelia said to him with a shrug, proposing he had been on something."And how do you want us to believe this? We have to get in there," the police said, but this time he was more furious than ever."What do you mean? You can not do that without a warrant. We are not letting you into our home, at least not without a warrant," Ava said to him, moving away from the officer slowly into the house."We will be back," he muttered with a scary stare. He spat on the ground and Immediately walked out.Amelia and Ava locked the door behind them just when the police walked out. It seemed to Amelia and Ava like the police
Chapter 105Shawn's Pov“How did you do it?” I asked, sliding down the stairs carefully and silently. They had just closed the door, and surely it was not what I was expecting to hear after the officer had gotten a warrant to search the house. There must have been something the girls did to send off the officer and eventually stop his search. It was one of the things I needed to know. It just made them even more powerful."Ermmm, it's all Ava, she made it work so you need to thank her, and then she'll tell you her secret…" Amelia suggested with a bright smile.Now everyone was happy, no one was sitting scared, thinking of what was going to happen next. Amelia and Ava were relieved, but not as relieved as I was.Hiding back at one of the rooms I had found, filled with furniture of all kinds and some other tools that were not in use anymore, I sneaked into the dust and under all the pieces of furniture was where I lay, quietly as they raided the room and the room after that until they
Chapter 106>“... And the police have made an arrest of some students who have murdered a girl in school and a lot of names have been mentioned in the case but one name is profound and is yet to be caught. His name is Shawn, the last name not mentioned… more news coming!" The presenter announced with a poster of Shawn's face stamped all over with the saying 'Murder' in bold.Shawn's father was watching the news reports for the day when he heard this. And for a matter of minutes, he had not noticed that he did not blink his eyes, nor did he move or jerk his body. It seemed like he had gotten engulfed in the news of his son that he completely was unaware of Pedro's presence in the room, as he also watched in disappointment.Shawn's father moved his head down with his hands covering his face. Tears filled his eyes and he was lost for words. He knew he had lost him for good…"There's… there is no going back, is there?" He muttered, stuttering as he sniffed."Perhaps h
Chapter 107Shawn's father and mother were left alone in the room as Pedro walked out. It seemed like there was something they needed to discuss and he was the one standing in their way… it was supposed to be a secret.As he walked out, he closed the door tightly behind him, allowing them to believe that he was all gone from the area and they began to talk. Pedro was still at the door when they began to talk and he had been hearing all they said.It was not his intention to eavesdrop, but he knew he had to do it anyway when he knew we were talking about Shawn.From all they said, it seemed like they had made up their minds and had taken a decision to cut Shawn off from the family. They could not risk getting their images stained because of their son, and anyways quoted the part Shawn had always talked about living on his terms and wanting nothing to do with his father or mother."Is this the excuse they are bringing up to cover for their decisions? It's so pathetic! Uggs!” Pedro sighe
Chapter 108With the amount of confidence she had, Pedro knew that it wasn't going to be an easy feat to get her to talk. He had to cooperate with her and agree to most of what she said… which meant only one thing — his mission had been compromised.Pedro drew his gaze on her as he watched her move away from him to go about her normal business. She was not afraid of what was going to happen to her or the kind of person she was speaking to. It only meant one thing, and that was that she had some sort of connection which meant no one could touch her and go scot-free, or maybe she was not who she looked to be."I have to be careful here!" Pedro said to himself, thinking of what next he was going to say to her to convince her to tell him what she knew about Shawn's matter. Pedro needed information, and he had seen the one person that knew things he didn't, he was not ready to walk away from this now."Can I speak with you… at least give me time to talk before you leave me without saying a
