“Get more buckets of water.” A woman said, as the flames became thicker.A man held a hose to and began to sprinkle it at the front door, but it did nothing in quenching the aggressive fire which refused to be assuaged. “ Has anyone called the fire service?” A woman said, and a man said something. Derek's heart sank when he saw the house burning.“ What are you doing?” A woman asked him when she saw that he was just standing still. He snapped into action," Do you know if anyone is in there?” “No, I don't, I don't know if…" A wood fell, and they heard screams coming from the house. Derek's eyes widened in horror," is that?” He asked no one in particular when he heard another scream. He didn't wait before running to the door and throwing himself at the door. He'd rather die than to see his wife die.“ What are you doing?!” The woman asked him, her eyes widening in horror as the man before her took that great risk. He wasn't a firefighter, so she didn't understand what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Fred was coming down from the staircase when he saw Derek on his knees, the doctor shook his head wearing a sad countenance, and he wondered what might have happened. Ever since Derek left that day, they had not spoken, so he was surprised to see him here. Anyway, he and Pops had managed to get in touch, and they were waiting for Derek to return before taking the next step since it was only him that Pops trusted.“ Derek?” He called to be sure that his eyes were not deceiving him, and Derek took a sharp breath. His eyes glazed over as tears filled them up. He didn't know what to say.“ What is going on?” Fred asked the doctor.The doctor shrugged, he was not supposed to reveal a patient's condition to a stranger. “ I think Mr. Derek is in a better position to talk about that.” He said and helped Derek stand," Mr. Derek I want you to take heart, I believe that we can do something. It might just take a while.” “ You said that there is no remedy.” Derek said, he didn't like
At the same time they hear a group of hurrying footsteps approaching and Fred turns to see a group of nurses rush downstairs," Mr Fred, Mr. Henry is awake.” They announced with a wide grin spreading from ear to ear. He stared at them for a minute before rushing upstairs with that, his initial investigation forgotten as his thoughts center on how to get Henry out of here. “ Where is the doctor in charge?” He demanded.An unfamiliar doctor appeared behind him and there was nothing much to say than to look at them for a minute," please move away for a minute, we still need to run some tests on him, when they saw that Fred was about to lift Henry from the bed.“ I don't want him to remain here. He was here earlier, mind you, and he relapsed into a coma, staying here again after that is stupidity.” He replied without mincing words. The doctor, taken aback, let his jaw slack for a minute before picking himself up that he was supposed to defend the hospital.“ I am speaking the truth, and
The car tumbled twice and hit the ground. Fuck!” Caine dragged out a harsh breath out of his mouth as a shard of glass sliced into his arm, reopening the wounds that were already breaking down.Everyone paused as they heard footsteps walking towards the car," Are you okay? He asked her when he saw his eyes opening a millisecond and closing at the same time. “Fred! Someone is coming!” He called, and Fred's eyes flew open in fear. “ What is happening?” He asked, trying to gain momentum, images formed on his retina in an inverted form and all he could think of was how he got here.Caine groaned, “What the hell is wrong with you, man?” He demanded and reduced his volume when he saw blood coming out of Fred's forehead. Wow, this is dangerous.“ I need your help, please help me.” He kept on talking, the car was inverted and Fred was close to the door so if he pushed it open, the rest of them could be free. With one great push, he kicked Fred, making his eyes open wide.“ What the hell,
“If I give him to you, will we be safe?” “Yeah.” “ I need proof.” Caine demanded.The man cocked his head to the side, threw his head back and laughed wildly.“ You are in no position to make demands. Heck, you can barely stand properly. I'm sure you're feeling very weak and about to throw up.” He mocked.As soon as he said that, Caine's stomach grumbled, bile welled up in his throat and he placed his left hand on his stomach," I will only tell you once, I don't have time to talk too much.” He said, don't throw up, Caine!' He muttered inwardly. If he did, then he would be so weak.Out of nowhere, a gunshot resounded and two of the masked men went down. It was swift and Caine turned to see Fred with a gun, the third one dropped dead.Holy shit! This was going to quickly become a shooting spree.“ Take cover!” He said, and they began to run.Fred carried Henry on his shoulder and dashed to the opposite side. He saw a bush at the other side of the road, they could enter. The masked m
Chapter 142Henry wanted to run but lacked the strength to, the leader was also shocked at the turnout of events, he was left wondering if they were truly going to leave him here. He would never have believed it if anyone had told him that this would happen.“ I guess you are left with me. They are finally done with your mess and want to move on with their lives, I wouldn't blame them too much, you know? It's a bit too much to ask of someone. They've lost almost everything because of you, you must be really special.” He said.Henry lay helpless on the floor as he watched the retreating figures of both men. He didn't know what miracle he was expecting, but it certainly wasn't for him to be dropped like a bag of potatoes here. God, please rescue me. His head ached badly, as he tried to understand what was going on right here. If there was a way that he would manage to be free from this bondage, he would really appreciate it. Anyway, that was by the way. He began to crawl backwards. He
Chapter 143“ No,” The man replied, raising his hands about to strike Henry again. He succeeded in delivering a powerful kick to Henry, knocking the gun out of Henry's hands. The gun bounced twice as it landed a few centimeters away from them. “ Now, tell me who is going to save you now?” If anyone had told him that the roles would be reversed he would have disputed it, but the fact presented itself right before his eyes and the man struck him with another blow. He quickly ran to get the gun and pointed it at Henry's chest, which thundered violently against his chest as his life flashed before his very eyes. “ Any last words, amigos?” He asked jokingly, and Henry gulped in fear. Fred nodded at Caine subtly, and he gave him a thumbs up. With precise calculation, he pulled the trigger. There was nothing else to say to a man like this, who was ready to die for an unworthy cause. If they bargained until tomorrow. It was likely that they wouldn't reach a conclusion soon, and he was get
Henry's eyes drooped shut amidst his struggles to stay awake. The worst part of it was that Caine was also asleep while Fred's eyes were wide open but he seemed to have lost focus.The warning bells played loudly in his ears as he thought of how this was all shades of wrong and how this would affect them.He caught a glimpse of the driver's image through the glass. What were they thinking when they entered this car?Safety, that was the only thing on their mind at that point in time, plus the men were also tired. He made a mental note to compensate them greatly if they ever got free.The man was holding a phone to his ear but the demarcation blocked Henry from hearing his voice, when the man turned to look at them, he shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. " The fools are still asleep. I think this is good, you've always been asking for them." He said proudly." Good, bring them alive. Take pictures of where they stay, it's about to go down.He said and went ahead to check through
