Chapter 33"Shawn, I want you to listen to me. . . I want you to do your best to avoid trouble or getting into trouble in school. You know how those guys are, they are merciless and will do anything to get Ransome from your parents, just try as much as you can to avoid them. . . And be good! It's time to say goodbye young master. . . Even if it's so soon, it's been a pleasure working for and with you!" The voice of Pedro kept on echoing in Shawn's ears like he was there with him in his sleep and Shawn hoped that it never ended. He was suddenly awoken by his mother with a splash of water. . ."Ugghh! Mom. . .! Why? Why did you. . ?" Shawn stuttered as he struggled to open his eyes and immediately tried to get himself out, alongside the wet clothes off him."What are you doing here? Get your ass out now!" His mom said."Get out of my car!" She added trying to drag him out herself."Ohhh shit!" Shawn immediately noticed where he had been and ran out of the car immediately. He had not kn
Chapter 34"Leave me alone. . . I don't want to talk to anyone," Shawn kept on saying, each time mom came knocking on the door.They had reached home and Shawn had already gone into his room. He had locked himself inside and needed his space. He did not want to talk to anyone, not even his mom who he was much close. Each time he hear the knock, it felt like his head was going to blow. He needed the silence and needed to be alone."Shawn, let's talk. . ." His mom said calmly from outside his room."I don't want to talk to anyone. . . So please leave, I wish to be alone," Shawn replied."Are you going to let down on your promise now? Remember you agreed that you were to speak with me after the incident," she reminded Shawn."Mom go away. . . I do not want to see any of you." Shawn said but immediately was quiet after his last statement."Shawn?! Shawn!!" His mom called out repeatedly. She needed the chance to explain why everything had just happened the way it did, that it was his good
Chapter 35It was Friday, one of the days Shawn prayed that it should come to an end before he even knew it. The sun had shone across his room and the rays flashed across his face each time he lifted his face to look at the door, just hoping that nobody would come to disturb his peace. Although it was the last day of school for the week, Shawn was insistent that he didn't want to go. He had other plans, he had so much to do that he needed to skip classes, just maybe he was going to get the notes and lessons later.Just suddenly, there was a noise coming down the hallway to Shawn's room. Shawn had been listening and he discovered they were footsteps."BANG BANG!" There came a knock on the door."I just knew this would happen," Shawn said shaking his head sadly.Yes. . . I'm coming," Shawn said as he walked up to the door and opened it."What's the matter, mom?" Shawn asked, walking sluggishly back to the chair close to the window.Shawn's mother walked in and did not say a word but h
Chapter 36The words written on the wall kept on repeating themselves in Shawn's dreams as if it was meant to be. And it was not still clear to him how the man who saved them knew their names. . . It came as a shock, but to Shawn, it gave him a clue of who had been getting him out of trouble."I think he's the same man as before," Shawn thought to himself.He remembered the last time he had been in the same situation and was immediately saved by an anonymous person. Shawn needed to see Mike. . . There was a lot on his mind that he needed to get rid of.He took out his phone and immediately sent a text to Mike asking if he was at home or in school and needed to see him as soon as possible. In no time, Mike texted back. He was at home and Shawn hurried immediately to move down to his house. At this moment, he was seriously considering if he was going to bump up on Leah. . . He really needed to avoid her at all costs, to avoid the unnecessary question.Shawn took a cab straight to Mike's
Chapter 37Hey! Mom. . . I'm hurrying you to school and I'm going to see you later. But, I love you, a lot" Shawn said as he ran out of the house."Wait!! You have even had breakfast," she screamed but Shawn had not heard a word that she had said. He had already gotten into a taxi and left for school. He knew it was going to be a long day. He had so much to do, so much to discover. . . But he wasn't going to do that if he didn't socialize more. And as a matter of fact, he knew he needed to use his enemies if he wanted to win this at all costs. It was going to be the fastest way to get all the information he needed.Leah!! Was the one name that came to his mind. He had been thinking of using her to get all the information he had wished for but he knew it was not going to be that easy."Hey, what's up? What are you think about?" Mike arrived, asking Shawn who had been sitting on a balcony with his hands across his face in worry."I'm good! Just that I've got so much on my mind," Shawn s
Chapter 38Here!! It's called Molly. . . And going to give you the number of the one who supplies it," he said and immediately got Shawn excited."Yeah. . ." Shawn gave a big smile as he waited patiently for him to extract the phone number.He felt it. Shawn felt he was close to knowing who was the boss. . . He could smell victory.At this point, he needed to make the phone call and did not want to involve Mike or Leah. Not that he didn't trust them but he felt since he had gotten to that point, there was no need of bringing them back in anymore.Shawn dialled the number he had been given and waited for the guy to pick up his phone."Hello!" A cold voice answered from the other end of the phone and Shawn, first of all, took a gulp. He prayed that he wouldn't make a mistake when he spoke with him."This is Shawn. . . I got your number from one of the big guys, and I need to get the supplies," Shawn tried to go straight to the point of why he called."What supply?" The man asked."Why i
Chapter 39"I'm finished!" Shawn muttered as he tried to find a cab to take him back home. It was one of those days when if his dad called, it meant it for a serious reason, which meant he was in deep trouble. Luckily for Shawn, he found a can that took him just as he stepped out of the VC's office.Everywhere looked scanty and nowhere was noisy."Strange!" Shawn muttered. On a normal day, the sounds of music boxes in three out of everything five houses would be buzzing, making the whole place noisy, but today was different. . . Shawn had no idea why.He reached for the door, but with his normal routine, he thought of taking the back door which always felt normal to him but the front immediately creaked open"Hey!! Come in, Shawn," a deep voice uttered and Shawn turned, stopping in his tracks. It was his father but the eyes with which he stared spelt anger and rage."I just hope my head isn't chopped off," Shawn mumbled and moved."Hey Dad, hey mom!" Shawn greeted as he quickly saw
Chapter 40Shawn kept on making sure no food came his way but it was unending. The same waiter who had brought the last meal brought yet another one again, one of Shawn's best. "Ohh my gosh!! Why is this really happening. . .? And who is sending all of this food to this table!" Shawn muttered, with his eyes staring into the plate of food and desserts in front of him."Umm! Please let me see you," Shawn called the waiter and he walked right over to him"Who owns all of this? Or who is paying for all of this?" Shawn asked, giving off a little fake smile."Ohh! A man came by and said he needed to order a meal for you, that we should treat you well," the waiter said "And also, just so you know, you don't need to worry about the expenses, it has been paid for in full and there is nothing bad about taking your meal sir!" The waiter added with a big smile and walked away.Just as the waiter walked three yards out, Shawn did wait to be told what to do before he picked up his utensils and be
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
