“ Clara, where are you?” Pops inquired.“I don't know where I am, I sneaked out of the house.” Clara replied, as she looked around thinking about where she was supposed to go to this time. She was sure that she looked mad…if she was in the open, she might have been picked up as one of the mad people in the street. Her mouth and armpits oozed.“ Okay, stay put. Could you please give me a description of any landmark you can see there?” He asked her, and she came out of the building she was hiding behind.Luckily, she saw a hospital," The Community Hospital.” She whispered.Pop's eyes “Okay, I'll send Derek's number to you right now so that you can reach each other when he arrives.” He said. He wouldn't make the mistake of sending her to the Central hospital, since a lot of his people were there. If they were going to search for her, it was definitely going to be that hospital.“ Okay, sir.” She returned into the shed she was hiding immediately, and was waiting for Derek.Pops hung up i
Clara coughed loudly trying to get smoke out of her lungs, she didn't know when she flew away. Suddenly her eyes widened.Her phone! Lord! What if Derek was already searching for her? Here she was not knowing where it was.She rose on shaky feet and saw that the house was burning, smoke covered the atmosphere, she was going to be found if she remained here, after all they were going to check what happened.She slowly trudged to the front of the building. He did say that his car was black with an open roof, she guessed she had to start looking for the car.Derek had passed twice searching for her. The building had gone up in flames so he knew that she wouldn't be there, she had probably fled for safety. Maybe she dropped her phone in a hurry because it made it nervous. How would they meet each other now?Clara was busy flagging down every car she saw. As long as they were black and had an open roof.. there was a very high chance that she wouldn't be picked and she didn't mind because th
"I just received a text right now telling me that Henry slumped into a coma again. I don't know why I don't feel at ease with that hospital anymore since Caine is no longer there. I have a feeling that a certain manipulation could be going on there without my notice." Pops said, that was honestly how he felt and there was no way that he could leave his son there." So, what do you propose we do?" Derek inquired, hoping that Pops didn't suggest that he start to run over Henry's case; he didn't want anything to do with crime anymore. He had seen where it led his father to, faking his own death so that he could live. That wasn't the kind of life he wanted for himself. So any problem could avoid him, he was not in the mood for any of these issues." I was thinking that you would help me take him to another hospital that you know is trustworthy, I wouldn't want to lose him there." Pops said it was a hard chore because he knew that he was indirectly asking him to stay with Henry till he rec
Forty minutes later, Derek killed the engine and stared at the huge building before him. This was a place where lives were supposed to be saved but it was a pity that I became a house of death. He bet the pioneers of healthcare would be rolling in their graves right now because he didn't understand why the doctors would deliberately want to kill a patient.To what end? More money or what? If they were sensible enough they would understand that it was better for them to roll with managing patients back to health than hasty money. Well, he guessed different people had different priorities. He alighted from his car and marched straight into the lobby. He headed straight to the receptionist desk and tried to strike a conversation with her. " Good evening, may I see a patient, Henry? He's in a coma." He asked politely.The nurse smiled at him blithely, " Oh, go that way, sir." She pointed at the staircase, "He's located on the tenth floor," she replied, shooting him another disarming sm
“Tell me your location, and I'll be with you in a split second.” Derek replied as he rushed towards the door, completely forgetting about Henry. His wife's life was at stake, just like the way he feared. 'Goodness gracious, I hope nothing happens to my dear wife.' he prayed inwardly.“ Derek, wait up, what's going on?” Fred called when he saw his distressed countenance. “ He wants to speak to you.” Derek collected his phone and quickly dashed out of the ward. “ Just try to drive to the nearest police station, I'll be there in a few minutes. Where is your driver?” He asked. His wife always went everywhere with her driver.“ I don't know, he complained about…" A loud bang rang in the air. “ Babe, what's happening over there? Put the phone on hands-free.” He said as she dashed out of the elevator and ran toward his car, ignoring the wave from the nurse from earlier. He would rather not speak to her. “I think someone rammed into the back of my car.” She spoke, and he sighed as he igni
The shop owner stared at them, very scared, his palms became sweaty instantly as she tried to cover up what was going on.“ I'm sorry? I don't understand what you are saying.” He said, and one of the men walked towards him, held him by the collar and lifted him in midair.“ You will tell me where she is right now, or I'll blow your brains out.” He threatened.“ I–I swear I don't know where he is, I can't lie to you, I promise, I'm not lying to you at all.” He said, and the hefty man threw him in the air, if he decided to play any funny game then, he would bear the consequences.It came in the form of the shop owner crying as he heard a few bones break. " I don't know where she is, I promise you. I'm not lying.” “ Oh, you will tell me the truth,” “Mr. Bart.” A patron said when she saw him being kicked. “ What are you doing to him?” A little girl asked as she and her mother came out from the stall. “ Stand back, little girl!” The man said harshly, but the girl refused. She couldn't w
Derek was torn between choices, not knowing what exactly to do was messing with his mind. If he walked in, he didn't know what lay in store for him so he decided not to take the risk of entering that house. Here was the threat of him losing his wife. Suddenly his wife was dragged back into the house and he heard a gunshot with his wife screaming. Gosh; he could have barreled into that place.What kind of neighborhood was this? Was no one going to call the cops? He pulled out his phone and dialed his father's number. " hello, dad, I need three cars containing cops to come here right now. My wife is trapped inside a house, I don't want to call their bluff too much." He said. " Send me the location." Jackson replied speedily and began to call his former subordinates. "I need you to quickly go to Dartmouth street,I don't want to leave anything to chance at all. Ensure that my son's wife is rescued," He ordered." Yes, sir." One of the workers replied calmly and they set out. Derek dec
Derek was forced to return to the hospital to his annoyance. He took the man to the Community hospital, since he had been warned not to be within close radius to Henry. This was as annoying as it could get because he knew that there was no way that he would be able to monitor what was going on in that house anymore. What was more annoying was the fact that he knew that there was no hope that he would meet them when he returned.“ I hope he's doing fine now?” He asked the doctor.“ Yes, he's recovering nicely. We are thankful that he is awake now. His BP has become stable.” The doctor said with a small smile. Derek didn't share his excitement because he was very furious at the things that were happening to him. It was as if he went from one problem to the other, and he hated it.“ Thank you,”He said," Please send the bill to my accountant,” He said and scribbled a number on a piece of paper for the doctor who nodded and received the paper happily. “ Please make sure that he's well take
