Thieves attacks

The sun is setting; the dark is spreading as night begins to spread around Mexico City while the cars moves in speed as people returns back to their homes after a long day of work.

Joyce is inside the kitchen with her wooden stick stirring the pot as she prepares the meals for her family to eat as the time on the clock reads 7:30 pm. The kitchen’s room is spread with the smell of the peppers inside the kitchen’s room, spreading across the room causing the feeling of irritation on Joyce’s nose.

 The bowls are on the top of the kitchen’s table with different ingredients inside, waiting to be toasted at the pot for the preparation of the meal as Joyce stirs the meals with her wooden cooking stick at the pot on the kitchen’s gas stove.

The food smells delicious as Joyce sniffs her nose with a smile on her face as she stirs her wooden stick inside the pot.

“Isabella! ,Isabella!” Joyce calls her daughter from the kitchen as she takes the bowls resting on the top of the table and drops the ingredients inside the pot.

“Yes mom!” Isabella says as soon as she arrives inside the kitchen.

Joyce takes a glance at her daughter. “Go to the dining room and start preparing the plates on the table. The dinner is going to be ready in few minutes.”

“Okay mom.” Isabella says.

Isabella leaves the kitchen’s room and goes to the dining room, leaving Joyce at the kitchen cooking as she drops the ingredients inside the pot as the flame on the kitchen’s gas stove continues burning the it’s flame under the pot.

Throughout her life Joyce has dedicated herself on cooking since she has passion of learning different style of cooking and also cooking is something that she loves to do on her daily basis as she fond of staying at the kitchen learning how to cook.

 Most her knowledge on cooking comes from her late grandmother who taught her several different style of cooking meals which made her to be the best cooking chef in her family after learning several cooking skills.

In a brief moment as Joyce is inside the kitchen cooking, Rachel then enters s inside the kitchen’s room and goes straight to her mother in a rush. “Mom, there is a pizza delivering guy at the door knocking.” Rachel says.

Joyce knits her brows, “A pizza delivering guy?” Joyce asks.

“Yes mom, he is outside the door knocking.” Rachel says.

Joyce sighs. “Okay fine, go to the dining room and tell Isabella to go and open that door and take that pizza.”

“Okay mom.” Rachel says.

Rachel darts away from the kitchen and goes to the dining room, leaving Joyce at the kitchen furrowing her brows.

Joyce mutters. “A pizza delivering guy... But I have not order any pizza today.” Joyce says.

As Joyce ponders inside the kitchen figuring out who might be the person who has ordered the pizza at her house. Suddenly the screaming sound her children echoes inside the kitchen.

“Mom!, Mom!.There are two thieves inside the house.” Rachel shouts louder.

“What?!” Joyce gasps with shock, shooting her eyes out after hearing her daughters screaming sound and then rushes straight to the sitting room.

“You better shut up young girl or else I will gonna blow your head off!” The thief with a black mask and leather jacket says while pointing his gun on Isabella’s head at the sitting room accompanied with his friend with a white T-shirt.  

“Where is your mother little girl?” The thief asks Isabella

Isabella quakes from head to toe, unable to respond the thief’s question as she darts her eyes from side to side on every corner of the sitting room looking for her mother.   

 “What the hell are you two doing inside my house?!” Joyce asks the thieves as soon as she arrives at the sitting’s room, seeing her daughter with the complete terror on their faces while the thieves surround them with the guns on their hands.

At the time the thieves hears Joyce’s voice. They both take a glance and looks at Joyce.

 “Oh finally!, you have decided to show up yourself. Come here closer to your daughters so that we can talk and discuss about the few things.”One of the thieves wearing leather Jack calls Joyce as he is standing nearby the door with his gun pointing at Isabella and Rachel.

Joyce walks across the sitting room with leaden wings, trembling from head to toe after seeing the thieves with guns on their hands.

The thieves’ starts to talk to each other waiting for Joyce’s arrival, Isabella and Rachel are on the ground kneeling with so much terror filled on their faces as Joyce walks across the sitting room feeling hurt seeing her daughter at that condition.

At the time Joyce approaches the thieves. The thief in a leather jacket speaks to Joyce.

 “Listen Joyce, We haven’t come here to steal anything or starting chaos with you but we have a very important message for you and your son”

 “What?” Joyce furrows her brows and continues. “Okay then why did you all come up here inside my sitting room with your guns if you didn’t want to steal from me?”

“We have been sent by our boss to inform you that you should tell your son not to participate in any of underground MMA matches from now on or else you will all suffer the consequences for your son’s actions if he does.” The thief says.

Joyce knits her brows. “But what is main reason through that prohibition?” Joyce asks.

 “It is none of your business woman! You better do what we say or else you are gonna face the consequences, Okay?!” The thief exclaims. 

 Joyce nods with the terror on her face. “Okay I understand”

  The thieves decide to leave the sitting room in a rush and goes outside the house, leaving Joyce standing while feeling confused at the same time.

“My son is in a great danger right now,” Joyce tears starts to burn out of her eyes. “Now it is my duty to protect my son at any cost.” Joyce speaks to her inner thoughts.

Pablo is at his office’s desk sitting with his laptop, typing on his computer as he enters the sales data for today’s car sales for the day while enjoying the fresh air coming from the air conditioner.

As Pablo is turning the pages from his notebook, checking the sales data in order to enter them on the computer’s Microsoft excel program. Shortly his phone rings besides the table.

Pablo takes his phone on the top of the table and then answers his phone call. 

“Hello.”Pablo speaks.

“Hello boss, How are you doing?.”

“I’m doing great,” Pablo knits his brows. “Sorry for asking who am I talking to?” Pablo asks.

“It’s me Alexander.”Alexander replies.

“Oh! How are you doing brother? Long term no see.”

“I’m doing great thanks. Listen there is something that I want to tell you” Alexandra says.

“Okay tell me brother. What is it that you want to discuss with me this time?”

“Listen man, the goods have arrived already and they are real excellent this time.”

Pablo’s smile widens. “Okay interesting. So where are they going be sold?”
