Chapter 11The party had only started slowly with less vibe than Leah had expected. And she had been away from Max for a while, letting her eyes scan through the whole place to notice what had been going on."Looks weird, where are all his friends?" Leah inspected after she noticed she didn't see most of the guys he had always been with.She looked around and noticed the girls doing their stuff on the other end dancing to tunes and music."They are the only way to get past Max, I could use them as a diversion when I feel something is wrong. . .""Are you okay?" A voice from behind asked."Ummm, yeah... Anything the matter?" Leah asked. "Here!" The woman said, handing over a glass of wine to Leah."Ohh how kind. . . Thanks," she replied with a smile and grabbed the drink from the tray."If you need anything, just come over to that place!" She pointed with a cringing smile."There? Sure I will, thanks again," Leah smiled and immediately she moved away, she set her eyes back on Max who h
Chapter 12A very bright day with shades of wind blowing over Shawn as he stood by the window, waiting patiently for the call and hoping that Leah had gotten him in her hands. And for a fact, he expected nothing but success because everything had been set for her to win."I believe this will work, something tells me that this will work out well for us, and just when this is all over, I will remind him vividly of who I am again; surely I am not one of those boys he messes with," Shawn thought as he stared into the skies.Just when a thought clicked into his mind, the thought that Leah was going to call him soon. . . He searched his pockets."Where did I drop. . ?" He said as he turned around checking where he had last dropped his phone."Ohh here it is!" He echoed with a smile.He picked it up and began fiddling with him, hoping for that moment where he would see Leah's call at first sight. . ."What if I call her. . .?? I know I'm not too patient, but come on! It's been hours after she
Chapter 13"Rat-tat-tat!!" There was a loud bang on the door, something that rarely happened in that home. The door clicked open immediately when one of the men went out to check who had been at the door."Yong master!!" The guard Saud, bowing for Shawn whose eyes had been like he hadn't had a sleep in days."Are you okay sir?" He asked."I'm fine. . . And don't act crazy!" Shawn said as he walked into the house."Hey, who was that at the door. . .?" Shawn's father came out asking. . ."He. . . Sorry, your son just arrived back home and he has taken the back door into the house." The guard responded."What? He did not care to come in and greet me?" He said shaking his head as he went back into the house, and the guard without saying a single word went back into his station."Hi, mum!" Shawn said as he walked past her into his bedroom without any other word.His mom was confused for a moment thinking she had done something wrong. . ."Hey, baby. . . Are you feeling okay? What's going
Chapter 14Everyone had been quiet about everything for a long time, and no one seemed to be talking. After Leah had caught Shawn with the new girl, she was furious, and immediately disappeared for a full day without picking up her phone. She had gone back to her little house outside of school where she knew no one would come and disturb her peace. She knew she needed the alone time and definitely, staying back at home was going to be the solution for her to find her peace."Wait a minute. . .! Why I'm I angry that I saw him with another girl?" She paused for a moment as the thought lingered in her mind. She knew for once she cared about one of her male friends around the opposite gender except her, and she had no idea why this has been going on and on.I just hope it's not what I'm thinking because if it is, well I don't know but Shawn doesn't have to know about any of this. . ." She shook her head."Did I make a mistake acting that way? You know, maybe I Would have gotten to know
Chapter 15.Just about everything was going to go wrong for Shawn if he did not find him, his friend. . . From day one, he had always been there for Shawn and a few times caused him a pain in the ass. But those memories were going to haunt him forever if he did not find a way to get his friend out of where ever he had been kept captive."Shawn! Shawn!!" A voice echoed from behind as he kept on walking fast. . . Like there was no going back from this."I said wait up!! You have been walking and I have been following you around for the last 30 minutes. . . You have not said a word to me and I have no idea where we are going or where you are taking me." Leah said, finally feeling relaxed that he had allowed her to speak."You will know. . . But for now, we have to keep going, we are almost there!" Shawn said calmly, turning to move on but she quickly grabbed him and pulled him back."You have to tell me what is going on here!" She said. Instantly, she noticed the look by which Shawn had
Chapter 16"Shawn! Shawn!!!" A voice came calling in his sleep for him to wake up."What's. . . What is it, why are you disturbing my sleep?" He asked in a sleepy tone as he tried yawning."You are needed right now!" "Who? No one . . . Knows me!" He uttered."It's the lecturer. He wants to see you now!" "Who? What?" Shawn immediately opened his eyes wide like he had been awake for a long time. It was Leah and he quickly sat up trying to wipe his eyes and stretch after a short sleep he had."Sorry, say that again!" "It's the lecturer, he wants to see you?""But for what? Have I done anything wrong? Surely not. . . I know I have been the. . .""Best student? Yeah! About that. . ." Leah confirmed."He wants to see me because I'm a good student? Which teacher has ever done that. . . Not that I've heard of one.""Look, Shawn! You are not in trouble, okay? I think it's something good, you'd like it!""Hey, don't play with me. . . Look how you made me scared.""I didn't scare you, you wer
Chapter 17"Now get to my office!!" The teacher commanded the leader of the bullies. "Not again!!" One of them murmured."Hmm! We just survived that, didn't we?" Leah said with a worried face."What a way to start the day!" Shawn replied. . . Giving off a shrug as he walked away.The day had started on a bad note for Shawn, and for Sure, he was not ready to get cheesed off and go ballistic. And for that, he was ready for anyone that was going to try him and probably step on his toes. He just hoped that when it happened, Pedro would be with him.He had left Leah who had walked to her class to pick up some of the books she had dropped when she had gone to call Shawn for the teacher. She walked out of the school, waiting by the side of the pavement for a taxi that would take her back to her home.The first car passed by she wasn't quick to stop it just when it was close. . . And in the nick of time, another came rolling by, and this time. . . It stopped right in front of her like he kne
Chapter 18"You framed her." Her friend cried "Babe…are you on drugs right now?" Leah taunted "I don't do cocaine!" Erica yelled "She doesn't even know what it looks like." Her friend screed "I don't know what it looks like!" Erica concurred "I swear to God. I don't even do coke!" Erica added"I'm telling you, she's innocent!" Her friend agreed "Take care, hon. We'll miss you." Leah mocked "Jessica! Do something!" Erica cries and screams "Why are you doing this?" Erica's voice echoed loudly as she begged Leah to give her reasons."So sad. I hope she gets the help she needs. Pray for Erica." Leah jeered"Pray for Erica." The crowd repeated "Yeah. Bye. Bye. See you next summer. Bye. Bye." Leah continued."Ahh. . . Ohh my goodness!!" Leah screamed suddenly from her sleep, looking to see if it was really true."What the hell was that?" Leah thought to herself. After what she had just experienced, it seems to her that she just had a Deja Vu. . . But nothing seemed to be adding up
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
