The day was finally subduing, so was the noise and uproar in the city. Reece stared at the city as his car moved along the streets. Sitting next to him in the car was his right hand man, Jack. Jack worked for Recce, he was more like a personal guard too. Jack's phone seemed to beep all of a sudden. He grabbed it and stared at a text. “Boss, The Intel we sent just dropped something" He stated. Reece turned to him eagerly. “He says the old man is trafficking young girls and women. Turning them into sex slaves at his hotels in the city" Jack stated. Reece sighed in disappointment. He was suspicious of Mr Jacob but he hoped such allegation would turn out to be false. “Umm boss, what should we do now?” Jack asked.Reece didn't answer, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts. “We can call the cops to deal with it or something?” Jack suggested. “We cannot Call the cops. They will do absolutely nothing about it. Jacob has men everywhere, even In the police!" Reece replied. “Then what are
“You cannot stay here till you're eligible to leave. That's absurd ” Ryan opposed him. Cole didn't say anything but stared at him. “Alright, what if..I find us somewhere to stay” Ryan asked. “Somewhere to stay?. You don't have anywhere to stay yet and you want to leave?” Cole asked. “I Will figure out everything later. All I have to do is leave this place first” Ryan replied. “Fine..” Cole said. “So, you'll come with me?” Ryan asked meekly. “I don't think it's a good idea. How are we going to survive out there. We cannot also hide from the police forever. They'll probably find us as soon as we leave” Cole stated. “I have friends who were just like us. They're doing great on their own now. We can do it too” Ryan stated. Cole was quite for a while, he was pondering on what to say. “Fine.. I'll come with you. But don't say I didn't try to stop you when they bring us back here” He said. “Yes!” Ryan said brightly. “And the plan...” Cole said and paused. Ryan stared at him waiting for hi
Time stood still completely in a blink of an eye. Ryan thought he heard wrong and asked again. “You stayed here for five weeks.. right ..” He muttered knowing what the answer was already, he didn't just want to accept it yet. “I just said Five years. I've been here for five years ” Cole stated. Ryan's heart was beginning to throb too hard. “ You've been here for years. How is that possible. What is going on here!?” He exclaimed. Coke stared at him in confusion. “Are you annoyed I haven't stayed long enough. I know some people that have been here for ten years you know...” He stated. Ryan almost went crazy. He instantly stood up and dashed out of the room. “Hey, where's are you going. I'll come with you” Cole said and stood up to chase after him. “Do whatever you want. I need to leave here immediately!” Ryan said fuming towards the door. The door suddenly swung open and They stopped. It was the Young man From the office, Mr Derris. Derris stared down at Ryan and Cole. “Where were
Kendrick led Ryan to a new office. “Who are we here to see?” Ryan asked as they walked in. “The chief” Kendrick whispered. They walked in and took their seats. “So this is the boy?” The huge man on the table asked. “Yes sir. I've interrogated him too” Kendrick replied. “So, what is going on here” The chief asked. “He is looking for his father. I suggest we enroll him in the program till we find the father” Kendrick replied. “What!. You know that's not how it works Ken” The chief Opposed. “Yes sir but we..” Kendrick paused and stared at Ryan's face. He stood up, “Can I talk to you outside chief” he asked. The chief stood up and they both left leaving only Ryan in the office. Kendrick shut the door as soon as the Chief came out.“We don't know how long it will take to find his father. We probably might not even find him sir” Kendrick stated. “If he says he's looking for his father. We'll just investigate the case further and figure out where the father is” The Chief Opposed. “I alre
Kendrick stared at Ryan who was completely silent as they drove to the police station. “Why are you roaming around the street. Are you lost?” He asked. Ryan stared at him without uttering a word. “You can talk to me. You don't need to be scared” Kendrick added. Ryan still wasn't replying. Kendrick sighed. He gave up and continued driving. They soon reached the police station and Ryan was led in. Ryan sat on a chair and waited a while before he was taken to an office. An officer in his mid thirties was to question him. “So, you were brought here for stealing from a shop?” He asked. Ryan didn't reply but stared at the officer emotionlessly. “You also Told the worker at the supermarket that you were looking for your father. Would you mind telling who you really are and how your father got lost?” The officer asked but still didn't get a response from Ryan.“ I'm going to need you to give me some answers young man..” The officer stated. Ryan still wasn't interested in talking to him.
Ryan watched in confusion as the the men all argued on who to take him away. “Who are you and what business do you Have with the boy” Noel asked the men. “ I'm big Jay. He's my.. Nephew !. Yes Nephew ” The boss replied. “ He's your Nephew ? ” Noel asked. “Yes. You can clearly see we look alike” Big Jay said smiling. “You don't look alike to me” Noel opposed. “That doesn't matter. I'll take my nephew now and we'll go back home and have a long talk” Big Jay said and tried leaving. “You can't leave. We're not done here” Noel said and stopped him. Big Jay turned to him angrily. “What do you want!?” He exclaimed. “The cops want him. Wait, He's your Nephew and you don't know he's looking for his Father?” Noel asked and stared at him suspiciously. “Of course I do. You didn't ask us” Big Jay replied chuckling nervously. “Oh I guess I didn't. But, you cannot still leave with him yet. You can talk to the Police when they arrive ” Noel stated. “We do not have time for that Gentleman. We will
Ryan slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He stared around the room and couldn't spot Brian and his brother. “Where did they go..” He mumbled. Ryan tried laying back down but the rays from the sun was so blinding that he had to sit up back. “ I'm so hungry..” He said and stood up. He walked around a bit. He decided to head down and take a look around the house. The house was very old and pretty much empty. It seemed the house had been abandoned for a very long time. The back door suddenly opened and it was Brian and Blake. “ What are you doing ” Blake asked staring at him suspiciously. “Oh, I woke up and couldn't find you. Decided to take a walk around ” Ryan replied. “Oh, okay” Blake mumbled. “You should be careful about that. There are dangerous objects laying around everywhere ” Brian stated. Ryan gulped and turned back upstairs. The three reached the room and settled down. “Where did you both go ” Ryan asked after noticing the lads came in with bags. “We went shopping ” Brian re
Ryan could not believe his eyes when the two strangers turned out to be teenagers who looked a bit older than him. They were two boys “ you're teenagers. Why are you living here alone” Ryan asked.“ I'm Brian and this is my twin brother, Blake” He replied. “Yeah nice to meet you..” Blake mumbled and took his seat. “ I'm Ryan. Thank you saving me back there” Ryan said meekly. “You should thank him. He forced me to come with him after he spotted the men abducting you” Blake stated. Ryan gulped and fumbled to seat on a Rusty chair. “So, why are you living alone here?” He asked. “Why don't you tell us what got you involved with those old farts first ” Brian asked. “ I met them when I was looking for someone ” Ryan replied. “And who might that be?” Brian asked.“My father. He left home and some men attacked our house and murdered everyone. My mom protected me and I need to find my father alone now” Ryan replied. “Oh, that's quite sad” Brian mumbled. “How are you going to find him. Do yo
One of the men grabbed Ryan and picked him up easily. “Let go of me!. Let go!” Ryan said fighting to free himself from the fearsome grip. The Man's strength exceeded Ryan's greatly and he stood no chance. “quit struggling little one. We just want to have a few words with you” The man said and chuckled. “what do you want from me. Let me go, I have no money you could steal from me” Ryan said bluntly. “Oh, he has no money. What do we do with him boss” The man asked another man who had been watching them from a corner. “ we'll sell him off or something. We didn't even need to go hunting today before a prey was caught. It's a blessing ” The boss said and chuckled. The men all laughed loudly. “Please, you need to let me go. I need to find my father” Ryan said with a tearful eye. “i pretty much care less about that. You're mine now and you're going to make me some money ” The boss stated. The men dragged Ryan along as they headed for a house near the road. They entered the house and Ryan
Ryan roamed around in the cold and dangerous city. He walked around and asked people if they could recognize his father and no one seemed to know him. Few people offered to help and report the issue to the police but he opposer strongly and ran off each time.The sun was out and Ryan was getting really tired now. He hasn't eaten since daybreak. “I need to eat something soon. I'm getting tired” He mumbled and continued walking around. He soon spotted a supermarket. Overwhelmed by hunger, Ryan didn't think twice before heading into the supermarket . He walked around staring at the huge shelves and stocks all arranged around the supermarket.“There are lot of foods here. I bet they won't mind of I grabbed some?” Ryan mumbled and picked a doughnut and Milk. He slowly ate the doughnut, he soon finished it up and gulped some milk.“What in the world are you doing thief!” A voice suddenly yelled from behind him. Ryan turned around to see one of the workers. “I didn't steal it sir. I took i
