GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWSThey all opened their mouths in shock as they heard that.The GOLDEN RULER was a long, flat, and flexible cane that had the shape of a ruler. I had a golden color and hence its name.The material it was made of was elastic .The kind of pain inflicted on the receiver was severe and sometimes led to injuries.I'm from the Anderson family, the golden RULER was severe punishment for the offender and whenever judgment is declared for the use of the golden ruler, the offender would usually beg for pardon and change in punishment. The golden ruler was not used on all offenders. It was only used on offenders who had committed grave aberrations and crimes.Grandma had intentionally said that to scare them away from accepting that.Five strokes from the GOLDEN ruler would render serious injuries on the body of Christine, and that was going to take days, if not weeks, to treat the afflictions Grandma smirked as she saw the look on their faces and how they looked at each o

Do you remember the hotel where we went to spend our honeymoon?" Reuben asked.Annabelle nodded in the affirmative."

YOU ARE BEING FOLLOWED“ But then, there is something we will still need to consider here. How are we going to get the exact time to execute our plans?You know we might not know when they will be out alone for us to get them.Do you have any idea?” Jakes asked.Louisa smirked.“ Don't worry about that, we will just need a few resources to make sure everything is alright. We will just have some boys around to give us any information around, as to when a car leaves the place and who is driving, then we will know what is going on.I am sure this would not take more than two days. We can get this done, '' Louisa replied.Jakes looked at her.

THE NEWS" How sure are you?" Louisa replied." Eighty percent sure that you are being followed.Your grandmother will never call to ask about you, " Jakes replied." Come off it, Jakes.She intentionally tried to like us up this morning.She used the business aspect as an excuse, but judging from her thoughts, she wants us to have something going on between that.That is the reason she would be calling you and talking about me.I know her intentions, too. Don't worry about all of this.Besides, if someone follows me here, nobody k ow you are here except me.They all know you and your dad have gone back home. That is it.Even if someone is following me, the only feedback they can give is that I went to a hotel. And to my grandmother, that is no big deal because I can take care of myself.Don't worry about all of this please, let's focus on what we are saying now, " Lpuisa explained.Jakes seemed quite convinced about the explanation, but not totally.He still had his doubts about all

A DEAD END ON BOTH ENDS“ I don't have any television here with me at the moment. Please try and explain to me Grandma.” Louisa said.“Well I think you should quickly surf the internet.It's a breaking news, and it is everywhere at the moment,”Grandma replied and hung up.Louisa wondered what was going on.She looked at Jakes, who was still on his phone, with a face that meant all was not well.She wondered what the news was that was making the headlines, but because she had to find out, she resorted to Grandma’s advice.She opened her browser, and she could see that most of the news channels were live and were reporting the same thing.She read the headlines.“ The Famous Terrorist Group, The Huyaqis, have set ablaze the two most famous and profitable businesses for the Jakes Family.” The headlines read.The videos were of two different places where two factories were on fire as a result of the terrorist attacks, and the firemen were trying to get the fire to

You are welcome ma'am" one of the policemen who knew her greeted her as soon as she entered." I want to see Louisa now," she fumed, ignoring the greeting from the policeman." Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just

The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery.

Annabelle asked in surprise.She could not just fathom what was going on, although she knew she was just about being kidnapped.Reuben held her hand and led the way back to the car, away from the sirens and the people who were being arrested. " What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.
