Chapter 03

Talon's - [P.O.V]

He landed a heavy punch over Mr. Edward's face.

Mr. Edward fell to the ground bleeding from his nose.

He broke his nose.

"Don't you ever hurt her, she is my mother." Evan threatened before a security man came to beat him up.

"You and your entire family will regret that with your lives." Edward threatens back.

I rushed into the scene, protecting Evan.

I fought back using my energy but the men were too much.

"Evan, protect our mother." I said to him and he headed to her.

The security men began beating me thoroughly.

"Please don't take my son's life." She cried watching as they kept beating me like an animal.

"Ah!" She cried holding her chest.

"Ha!" She begins to choke for air.

"Heart attack." Evan cries out, holding her.

"It's about to rain, throw them out!" Madam Lilith orders as they carry us, throwing us out from the gate.

I managed to pick my mother up.

She needed the hospital now.

I placed her over my back as I ran through the estate's slippery road with Evan, as she choked for her life while Evan used his shirt to cover her hair from the rain.

"Mama..." I cried holding her to myself.

"Please don't die." I cried as I ran through the rain.

She was my only world and I wasn't ready to lose her.

The pain could finish me... It could end me. 

The rain soon stops.

We entered the hospital.

My blood was dripping non stop over the floor as I felt my energy depreciating in return.

The nurses rushed to us - taking my mother from me.

I and Evan followed them before we got stopped.

It's her doctor.

"Have you gotten the money yet?" He asked.

"I will get it." I and Evan said it at the same time.

"You both have to be fast, she needs to commence heart surgery and the money is needed for her blood transfusion or she might lose her life this time." The female doctor said and I and Evan stared at each other.

"Okay boys, I can help but you must not inform the hospital management okay." She whispers to us.

"Yes ma, what do we have to do?" I said to her.

"I will use the hospital loan money to help your mother but then you both need an additional $15,000 dollars to complete her blood transfusion, can you provide that?" She asked.

"I think there's a way I could try." I said to her and she smiled before she hugs me and Evan before she turns leaving.

I think she could see the mystery we were going through and her hug at least made me think straight.

"Where?" Evan asked me sternly.

"How would you get that huge amount of money, Talon?" He asked as his eyes got reddened.

"How?" Evan asked as he began to cry.

I grabbed his hand.

"Trust me, I will find a way Evan." I said as I hugged him holding my tears in, so he can be strong.

"You have to trust me." I said to him.

"Let us do it like this okay?" I said to him as I released him.

"Go home, find anything valuable we can sell to raise up the money, while I will go to my friend krus and ask him for help, okay?" I said to him and he nodded in response.

I took a step away from him before I turned, running my hand through my hair as I ran as fast as I could, from one street to the other till I had found Krus staying in a dark corner of one of the building's walls.

"Talon what's up?" He asked, looking at my body.

"My brother, I need your help." I said to him.

"What's up, tell me, who hurt you?" He asked.

"Forget guy." I said running my hand through my hair.

"I need money right now." I said looking at him.

"How much?" He asked.

"$15,000." I said looking at him as he looked away, seeming not interested in what I had to say.

"I can do anything you want Krus, just help me, it's for my mother's life." I said to him as tears filled my eyes.

Somehow I was sure he could help in a way.

I and Krus had a serious history together. When I was much younger, he introduced me into a gang where I was taught how to use weapons, sell drugs and how to express extreme violence, before I was taken in by my foster mother and repented for the better good.

I used my gangster training to get a personal security job in the Ontario family.

That was how I got to meet Claudia.

"Please." I begged him zooming out of my thoughts.

"Okay, follow me." He said and I followed him till we were finally inside his room.

He lights up his cigarettes before opening up a box.

I looked to see a blue glowing transparent stone inside the box, wondering what it was.

"What's that!" I asked him.

"Nothing." He stated before standing back up.

"You want to save your mum's life, right?" He asked.

"Yes, I do." I said, cleaning my tears.

"Good, all you need to do is to deliver this box to my guys at the train bridge and they will pay you… They are Bona's guys, so don't be scared, you are safe." He said to me.

"That's all?" I asked.

"Nope, you can use this to protect yourself." He said while giving me a gun and I dropped it over the table back in return.

I had to go gangster mode for the sake of my mother, she was worth it.

"Can you atleast help me with any cash?" I asked him and he looked at me annoyed.

"Do this job now, or you can fuck off " He said, pointing towards his door, unconcerned even so he knew how important it was to me.

I picked the box and he looked at me surprised.

"I'll deliver it." I said, carrying the gun from his table before I ran off from his place.

I ran as fast as I could.

Because I knew that no matter the pain that I felt now... It can't be compared to the pain that I would feel if I lost my mother.

I would rather lose my life than let her down.

So I ran with the box in my hand.

But then! Vroom!

Something thick sweeps off the ground.
