Chapter 81“You…!!” Erica mumbled, with her weakened fingers pointing at the man who stood before her. It was clear that the man was with them.“Shawn!!!” she let out her last breath before she went numb, dashing into a deep sleep.Shawn's POV.I arrived at the elevator door just spot on. My thoughts were that before I arrived, she must have been on the ground already begging for her last breath, but it turned out differently.I needed to make sure she did not see my face, but she did. The next big mistake I was not going to make was to let her escape this. I had been told before I got to the third floor that her men had been around looking for her on her way down… surely they would not have a chance to find her."Is she completely out?" I asked the guy who was with her in the elevator.“Yes, she is!" He said, helping me carry her to the room by our right.That was where we were going to transport her back downstairs to the back of the building… There was a car there waiting to take h
Chapter 82Shawn's POV.There came a knock on my door. This time I was not sure if it was Mike or Leah who was at the door. But the knock now was getting heavier and the only thing I could think of was knowing the person who stood at my door.I walked up closer, placing my ear to the door.“Shawn!! Are you in there, open the door!" Mike's voice echoed behind the door.I quickly turned the knob to open the door, and when I did, Mike rushed in like he had been running for a very long time.“Where have you guys been and what happened back there?" I asked curiously.“It's bad, man… really bad out there. We were chased by some guys, I think they are the police or some thug Erica must have sent to find us,” Mike said.“Speaking of us…? Where is Leah?" “She was just behind me.”The door swung open, making my heart leap in fear.“Leah!!! Where have you been!" I yelled in shock immediately as she saw her walk through the door.“Uhhh, I…” She stuttered, trying to catch her breath as much as sh
Chapter 83“There is nothing you can do now Shawn… it's all over!” a voice from the door yelled.“Fuck!!” Shawn panicked as he began to pace around thinking what next he was going to do… There was no Pedro who would help, surely there was no one on their side and soon, one way or the other, the person behind the door from the other end was going to hit the door down.“I'm going to open the door guys, there is possibly no way we will run to now,” Shawn said to the rest of them but there was no definite reply as all of them buried their face to the ground.Shawn walked to the door slowly and calmly. He held onto the door knob wishing he did not start this in the first place, that he listened to his father the first time he mentioned this.Shawn opened the door, accepting his date, but when he opened his eyes after taking in, what looked to be his last breath of freedom, he saw a man on some rag cloth standing before him. “Umm, are you going to arrest us? Or…” Shawn stuttered in disbeli
Chapter 84Shawn could feel his heart thump hard, he felt his breath get heavy every second, and he felt his knees shake, but he dared not look at the door...“What's happening Shawn?” They both chorused.“This is not good…!!” Shawn whispered…Leah glared at Shawn from where she had been the whole time, she wondered what must have gone wrong and why he had been acting that way over a simple knock on the door.“Come on, it should be Neal who had just come back from wherever he went to, it has to be!" leah Said with no form of doubt on her face.“By sunset, that was when he said he would be back. And I just had this same dream, it's something worse and I am sure it's not Neal at the door,” Shawn said, standing by his words.“Is this some kind of vision you saw? Or a prophecy of some sort? Because that for sure isn't true. I will open the door now," Mike said boldly, springing up from his place straight to the door.”“Hey! Hey!!! Mike, don't do that... Do not do that, I promise you, we a
Chapter 85 Shawn's POV “MIKE NO!!!!” I screamed as I launched in towards Mike to get the gun from him just when he clenched his fist to the gun and pulled the trigger. There was a gunshot in the car. Leah screamed at the top of her voice, I guess someone had been killed, I thought the same too. “The kids are crazy, what is wrong with you? I guess I will just have to do what I needed to do long before now,” Neal yelled, struggling to get the gun from our hands. Luckily for everyone in the car, no one was hurt, but the driver had lost control of the car and had run the car into a building that was yet to be completed. “What the fuck!! You all are dead right now," the driver mumbled from his seat after he hit his head on the car wheels “Hey!! Better don't try shit,” I yelled, getting the gun from Mike and immediately pointing it at the man's face. “What are you doing Shawn? Do you want to shoot us? Then do it!” If there was anything I didn't like, it was getting tempted by some
Chapter 86 Shawn could not believe it... Even Leah could not stand it when she heard Erica was still alive. It felt like their whole life flashed in front of them and that they had been loving, in what looked like a lie. “How did she get to live? And how did she escape with a drug in her body?" The questions kept ringing in Shawn's mind. The guys knew there was definitely no way Erica could have woken up that fast to make these orders, except she had done it before the capture or she had someone she was working with. “Can you believe this? Cause I know he is lying... That's not possible!" Mike stated angrily as he moved closer to him for more clarification on what he said earlier. “Why are you lying? Erica was taken away, wasn't she?" Mike mumbled as his hands stuffed the collars of the driver. “Why are you not believing me? It's the truth and there is nothing else I have to tell you. That's it,” the man said but this time, with a reaction that told him that he was angry no one b
Chapter 87 The phone call changed everyone's mood. Mike and Leah looked to hear Shawn if he ea going to say anything concerning the phone call he had just received but he said nothing about it. “Shawn, come on, you know you can trust us… what's going on?” Leah persisted. “I said I am fine… we should go ahead with the cleaning before it gets dark,” Shawn opted to move to the corner to pick up the bucket he has seen there. He had chosen to mop like Mike and Leah moved to do the cleaning and sweeping so Shawn could come in and mop up the remaining part of the house. There were already bands of sweat dripping from their forehead onto their head, it wasn't going to be easy but the guys had no other choice. “Please guys, if you find something you know needs to be thrown away, you can bring it to the centre here and then we'll do justice to it instead of taking them outside!” Mike ordered. “Okay, that's fine!” Leah muttered in response. Mike kept a radio on while he did his part of the
Chapter 88 It had been night and Mike, alongside Leah had just managed to take Shawn back to the house where they stayed. They were mesmerized by what had just happened even when Shawn was reluctant to speak to them about everything that went on with the police officer. It was clear that something happened, and they deserved to know. Leah sat close to Shawn and she had his head placed on her lap while he was quiet the whole time. Mike on the other hand did the job of transporting everything they had brought back, to the dining table where they were going to sort out all of their things before they went to bed. Shawn's POV. I sat there thinking about all of the things that could have gone wrong in a matter of seconds if I had made the wrong choice or the wrong move while the policeman watched my every move. I could feel my leg get stiff the moment I tried to stand there fighting the urge to run towards where Mike and Leah had been… And if the policeman had moved a bit, I would have
