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 41Pedro after what had happened the night before, took Shawn somewhere safe. To a hotel where they could spend the night and then take Shawn back to where he could get a cab and head back home. Shawn had only rested for about four hours before Pedro woke him up to start moving back home. It was eight in the morning and he did not want Shawn's father to begin sending some guys to come to look for him so he had to head back home as soon as he could. He made sure that everything was funded and Shawn went back home with some cash. . . But before he did that, he made Shawn make a promise that he was going to keep everything a secret and obey everything his parents told him."Okay! okay. . .! I'll try," Shawn said as Pedro opened the door of the cab for Shawn to go in."Alright now! Go in before anyone sees me here!" Pedro advised."Why are you always Weston?" Shawn asked pointing to the hood he had been Westin the whole time he was with him."You should shut up and stop asking a
