Levi walked pass the hallway and even when the house was sound proof, he could hear screaming coming from the basement. "What sort of sick twisted punishment is he using in that man?" Levi asked himself, partly feeling bad for the man himself. Such feelings did not last for long. After all, the man deserved anything he was getting. He was the one who decided that if was okay to almost kill him. And to make matters worse, his stupid boss has the audacity to go to threaten the life of his uncle. They had bitten more than they could chew and it was about time they spit it out. He did not hear any voice from the policemen. He wasn't even sure if any of them was still around. Just when he thought that he could have his peace of mind, he saw Jayden walking towards him. Levi let out a heavy sigh and leaned on the wall, waiting for him. "Can you hear that sir?" He started complaining immediately he got close to him, exactly how Levi pictured it. "Hear what?" Levi feigned ignorance.
He drove with speed into town. Desperate to find a solution to his problem. Desperate to find Brittany and bring her back home. He zoomed into her neighbourhood and out of fear of her running away at the sight of his car, he parked a few distance away from her home and walked the remaining distance. He had heavy strides that showed anyone that he was on a mission but his face held no intent and no one could guess what sort of mission he was on. He walked past her neighbours house, ignoring the thoughts that were beginning to come alive in his mind. Nothing was going to happen to her. He would find her before anyone else could get to her and hurt her. All he prayed for was that she would not be adamant and that she would agree to return with him. He knew that he was aiming for the stars with that one but he always knew that he needed to keep trying. All of her neighbours said nothing to him, expect for her next door neighbour, Suzy and her mother. Or so he thought. He passed by
"Speak!" He commanded, his eyes becoming dark. He couldn't lie to himself. Someone else having an idea about where Brittany was scared him to death. Especially when that person was her new rude neighbour. She could be a spy placed to kill her and frustrate him. "Young lady, I said you should talk." The more she kept mute, the more the thoughts in his head became louder and the more he needed to keep them silent. "Look all I know is that I saw her coming back home. She picked a few things from home and then she rushed down south. I believe she is going to see someone." "Why then would you say that you know where she is when you do not?" Levi did not know if he should be enraged or relieved but the lines on his face disappeared and he suddenly did not feel as tensed as before. "You didn't let me finish. Everyone knows that the is only one place that she would be running like that to. She is obviously in the hospital." She finished with a smirk on her face but Levi did not find it f
"Levi!" Brittany called out and ran towards him. "Levi, what's wrong?" She held him up, or at least she struggled to. Levi was way heavier than her and she found it extremely difficult to keep him in a standing position without stuttering herself. "I'm fine," he said softly. "Get him to seat down," her mother said. Her face did nothing to hide the worry in her eyes. She was already seated upright, waiting for him to get better. "Let me get you something to drink," Brittany said after she had managed to get him seated and relaxed. "You don't have to worry. I just had a rush of thoughts. I am fine." He drew her back by the hand. He was alright, all he needed was peace of mind. "You need to relax. Look, we have two heafty men guarding the door. No one can hurt us. I promise you. Now can you please relax." She knew exactly what was getting him so worked up but what she didn't know was that he had to pay her neighbour to keep mute. "That's nice but unfortunately we can't stay here a
The ding of the elevator came at almost the right time. Levi couldn't help but be scared that Brittany would run back to her mother's room and refuse to go back with him. "This is only going to cause troubles for us," Brittany said as she stepped out of the elevator. "How do you mean?" Levi asked. "Us, leaving her. I feel like it will only cause more problems than actually give us solutions." "At this point, I know you will say just about anything to go back and stay with her but you know very well that what we are doing is the best for her." Levi was still talking when he bumped into a soft shoulder. "Oh, I am sorry," he could recognise that voice anytime and anywhere. "Hello again Davina," at the rate he was bumping into her, he won't be surprised if she was stalking him. But what part of "no" did she find so difficult to understand. "Oh my God, Levi!" She exclaimed. Thankfully, Levi could see right through that because the emotional intelligence that Brittany had flew right
"I know that look very well," Jake said immediately he saw the glint in his eyes. It was a look he was very familiar with. "Levi, what are you thinking?" Brittany asked, trying to understand what was going on. Levi looked from Brittany to Jake. He knew that sooner or later, one of them would figure out what he was thinking but all he had was theory. He had no solid claim to back up his words and until he got that, he wasn't going to say anything to them. "Are you going to say something or you will just sit there like you did not just hear us talk?" Jake asked, slightly getting irritated with his silence. He found nothing about it amusing. "Look, I am not hiding anything from anyone. I just need to sort this out by myself first before I can start talking to anyone else." "So you do have a suspect in mind?" Brittany asked. "Well, yes but I won't say it so don't even try to take it out of me." "This is ridiculous. Look, if you know something that is going to help us all, why don'

Her manager was a scruffy looking man with a knack for the word "now now". "Now now," he started as soon as he reached Levi's table. "What seems to be the problem here?" He asked. "You are the manager?" Brittany asked, surprised at the petite appearance of the man. "Yes and I believe no one has still told me what the problem is." He added. "Your staff here gave us this outrageous bill and called it a payment for a few steaks that we had. We will not be paying that amount.""Why won't you?" A different voice was heard from the background. A voice Brittany knew too well. "After all, aren't you a multimillionaire?" The owner of the voice finally stepped into the light and Brittany was shocked to see him. "Stephen!" She exclaimed. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen him. But she knew that the last time they met, things did not end in such a good terms. "Hello Brittany," he said softly but with an evil intent in his eyes. "Sir, we did not think you will be coming in t
