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
Chapter 120The alarms sounded, shimmering into the ears of the inmates waking them up from their sleep. It was quite earlier than the rest of the days and that was because it was a special day. Most of the Inmates that had been in the prison for years were finally getting their freedom back and they would be going home finally, after a long, long wait.The timetables for the day had been set and the inmates were made aware of what was going to happen today. New inmates were going to roll in either from a transfer from another prison or sentencing. And at the same time, a few people were going to leave— only those that survived though.It had been said that most of the inmates that would have gotten their freedom the next day were likely killed by their fellow inmates because of envy and other reasons which weren't made known to the General public.Mike and Leah after hearing all of the horrors had their eyes and their ears open throughout the night. They knew they had no excuse for n
Chapter 119(Hours Before The Mission)Pedro had been in constant communication with Grace. She had something Pedro needed and that was to be able to know what was happening even when he was with Shawn, and what was going to happen with his friends in the prison.Grace was the only one who Pedro had seen with such a gift, and in a long time, nothing had been heard of them until now. Pedro knew there was a big reason why she had offered to help him with Shawn's issue, even at the same time offering to help Mike and Leah out.She had an idea of how she was going to get them out of the prison. It was not convincing enough but Pedro had a much bigger reason to believe in what she had told him.Pedro was out of town and did not need Shawn's parents, who were in constant communication with him to know what was going on. He had to handle this alone and find a way not to involve or put any of his people in trouble.Shawn's parents needed to see Shawn as soon as possible. They feared that some
Chapter 118"Erica!! How are you still alive?" Shawn voiced, taking in a deep breath."Did you expect me to be dead? So much for the plan you had set up…" she said with a big smile as she gave Shawn a glance from head to toe. It seemed she was liking all that she had seen at the moment."Why are you in these ropes?" Erica asked, pretending to have nothing to do with this, she had on a pitiful face"Ohh fuck! Why is she acting like she has no idea what I am going through? She ordered the guards to do this to me and now she's here acting all innocent. Girls!!! Never to be trusted!" Shawn thought to himself as he shook his head in disapproval.It was just unbelievable. The news had been everywhere that he was the one who murdered her, but here she was standing before him with a scary wicked grin. "Why are you acting like you did not have a hand in this? I know you are the sole reason why I am tied in this fucking—" Shawn spoke furiously as he lifted his hands to show Erica what she had
Chapter 117Shawn had been arrested and was taken to a detention center where he was going to get interrogated by some policemen about the murder of Erica.The news and rumors had been put to bed for a long time since Shawn and the rest of his friends had moved away from the home and anywhere possible where they would have been found.Someone was responsible for this because none of the police officers had wanted to go in search of Shawn, knowing fully well that he wasn't going to be found that easily.The police had been informed that someone was coming to speak to Shawn as they had locked him up in the dark so he would have no idea where he was. He had been there for over two days and was weak. No food, no water, and in the most heated hours of the day when he would find himself sleeping for no reason, he had nightmares, much more times than he would have ever imagined. But the part that got him upset was the fact that he would wake up and not remember what the dream was about. Th
Chapter 116"Hey, you!!" A loud voice uttered pointing towards her as she turned her face in the direction of the voice."Huh…!!" Those were the only words she uttered as her heart shook when she knew she was the one being called."Come with me!! The voice commanded and Leah could feel her legs already tickling to get going before something happened to her.She could feel waves of shivers through her spine. As though it was her fate, her heart pounded like this day would be her last.She rose from where she had sat and tried to clean herself up but there was simply no time for that as the man quickly grabbed her arm ferociously and moved her in the direction where she had seen them take Mike.Now it was getting scary and she could not bear this on her own. She tried to be calm as they approached the area in the yard where there were no lights, and the closer they moved in the more there was a noise up front in the building ahead of them."Where are you taking me?" Leah voiced out afte
Chapter 115Mike's return from the president's office to the yard had caused a lot of problems and had brought so much trouble to him. He had not been told by anyone that he wasn't supposed to get any information from the president because whatever he was going to promise to give was just a scam… it wasn't real.He was not the kind of person who kept to his word, and if Mike had known this, for sure he would not have shaken hands with him. He, for sure, had made a huge blunder on his part. All eyes were on Mike and Leah now. Everyone had their eyes and ears on him just in case he had reasons to be suspected of anything. The men who stayed in the prison longer than Mike did have given an order to the rest of the guys in the prison to watch out for him… when Mike's bunkmate was no exception to this.It had been a few weeks now, and nothing had been mentioned to Shawn by anyone. Plans had been made to escape prison in 4 months when the digging was going to be completed but Mike this tim
Chapter 114Shawn had his eyes on the door now. There were only two things that would be if all he thought of truly happened. One was that he was going to see himself in jail sooner than he expected, or just maybe he was in some serious trouble.Ava took the bold step to twist the doorknob as she opened it. She poked her face slowly through the little space she had created, checking to see who knocked on the door and what they wanted."Bring the boy out… we need to take him with us now!" They ordered, and Shawn could feel the anger and authority in their voice."Who are you talking about? We do not know who you mean, we have not heard that name around here before," Ava said to them with a glare, showing them that she was not afraid of them or the guns they carried around in the name of security."Are you sure you are telling us the truth? We need to know the truth and as citizens you need to be truthful else you will face the law," the officer who stood before Ava lectured her."Crazy
Chapter 113It had been 5 hours since the girls last saw Shawn. 5 hours after the man that came in to look for Shawn walked out. Still, they had no idea who he was and what he came for. Shawn refused to speak to them about Pedro, who they knew nothing about. They waited for him to come out of his room, and when he finally did, they knew they would have the chance to ask him whatever they needed to know.Shawn stepped out of his room in an attempt to head for the kitchen when the girls walked up on him, blocking him before he could sneak in and out back to his room."What the hell? You shared the shit out of me," Shawn yelled as he held his heart in his hands."We did not scare you, we only noticed that you were trying to sneak to the kitchen to do whatever it is you wanted to do…" they both chorused as they gave Shawn a stern look."No, no! That isn't what I was doing… I only tried to dash to the kitchen because I needed to get something and immediately return to my room, that's all,
Chapter 112Shawn's eyes lighted up as tears filled in. He felt his body freeze for a minute until he heard his voice mutter."Hello, young master!”It was really Pedro… and how he got to his house, Shawn had no idea but at that moment, there were mixed feelings."I am supposed to hug him? Or I'm just going to stand here and see what unfolds next?" Shawn whispered to himself as he let out a tear."What's going on?" Ava's voice asked just behind Shawn and she placed her hands on Shawn's shoulders."Who is there?" Amelia joined to ask as she walked towards the door where Shawn stood to check why Shawn stood still like a plank of wood."How are you doing, young master?" Pedro asked with a shaky voice and just then, Shawn lifted his face to meet his teary eyes of Pedro. This was a surprise and at the same time an emotional moment for Shawn and Pedro. The two couldn't even hug themselves with the level of emotions that flooded the air.“I… I… am okay!" Shawn responded with a stutter as h
