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 visit the police station later” Big Jay stated. “Fine. Pay for what he stole and you can leave” Noel said. Big Jay brightened up, he quickly went through his pockets searching for money.
He searched thorough and realized he had no cash on him. He turned to his men, “Any of you got money on you?” He asked eagerly. The men all shook their head.
“What!. How did none of you knuckleheads bring money with him!” Big Jay exclaimed.
“ I'm still waiting” Noel stated. Big Jay turned to him smiling sheepishly. “My gentleman, would mind letting us go for now. one of my men will be at your supermarket to give you the money very soon” He said.
“Well, since you can't pay me up. You're going to have to wait till the cops come” Noel said and tried grabbing Ryan, Big Jay stopped him again.
“Screw this!” Big Jay yelled and lifted Ryan up running away as fast as he could. His men went after him.
“You think you can outrun me Big fart!?” Noel yelled and chased after them.
Big Jay, running as fast as he could stared back to see Noel chasing after them. “Slow him down while I get away” He instructed his men.
His men grabbed garbage on the roads and threw at Noel who with his astonishing reflexes, dodged them.
“ He's not slowing down sir!” Big Jay's men exclaimed. “Hold it right there!” A voice yelled from behind Noel.
They all turned around to see a cop closing In on them with intense speed. “A cop. It's a cop!” One of the men exclaimed. “Run faster. Run!” Big Jay cried out.
Big Jay's men soon outran him, leaving him behind.
“You can't outrun the cop with the kid boss. Drop him and save yourself ” one of Jay's men yelled.
Jay quickly threw Ryan on a pile of Garbage bags. He continued running afterwards. “Officer Kendrick, They dropped him!” Noel yelled and grabbed Ryan who was just getting up. Kendrick soon caught up with the two and halted.
Big Jay and his men had already disappeared. “What in the world is going on. I was heading to the supermarket when I saw you chasing after some people!” Officer Kendrick exclaimed.
“This is the brat. And he's one of those men's Nephew ” Noel replied. “ I'm not his Nephew..” Ryan mumbled. “Yes..wait what!?” Noel exclaimed. “ He's not my Uncle. He was only trying to kidnap me” Ryan replied.
Noel realized how close it was to letting Them take Ryan away. That freaked him out. “You didn't say anything when I was asking!” He exclaimed. “ He was covering my mouth. And I would have preferred him taking me that letting you catch me..” Ryan mumbled.
“What!?. Is that Because of..” Noel said and Paused staring at Officer Kendrick. “Noel, what in the world is going on here” Kendrick asked.
*At the supermarket*
Ryan sat down and watched as Noel discussed with the cop for a while. They finished and Noel walked up to him. “Little dude. I'm sorry I almost let those Weirdo abduct you.The cops will fix everything now..” He stated.
The cop walked to Ryan. “we leave now” He said. Ryan stood up and went with Kendrick. They reached his car parked outside and Ryan stared at it for a while. “You do not need to be scared of anything Ryan. We're your friends ” Kendrick stated.
Ryan sighed and walked to the car, He opened the door and hoped in. “See?, Everything is fine ” Kendrick said with a smile. He ignited the car and drove off.
*Back at Big Jay's house*
Big Jay and his men all entered the house panting heavily. “He got away..again!” He cried out in frustration. The men all stared in silence. “Are some of you working for him. How does he keep on slipping away whenever I get him!” Big Jay yelled.
“ We have no idea how he got away the first time. But this time, he had help from the cops. A single mistake could cost us anything sir. You always said that..” One of the men stated. “I know, I know!. I am Just so confused on how he's still getting away after the first time!” Big Jay said angrily.
“ We'll keep an eye on The worker, He should tell us where the boy is” the man replied. “You don't have to do that. The officer is going to take him to the police station. He might be out of our reach now” Big Jay stated.
“Then what do we do boss ” He asked. “All we can do now is find him!” Big Jay said pointing at a picture nailed to the wall. It was a picture of Reece.
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.
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
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
“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
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
Jack was driving them back home. Reece was completely Mute whilst Jack was driving, He seemed to be contemplating on what step to take next. “Stop when you reach the next bus stop” He suddenly said. “Is something the issue Boss” Jack asked. “I need to go somewhere alone. Return home right away, I'll be back soon ” Reece replied. Jack sighed and continued driving. He soon stopped when he reached a bus stop. Jack alighted from the vehicle and watched as Reece got in and drove away. He took his seat and waited for a bus. Not long after, a bus arrived. Reece was driving through the town heading back for the main city. He stared at the rear mirror and noticed a car following him. “Is that Mr Jacob's car” He asked himself and took a closer look at the car. He slowed down a bit trying to make the car meet up and overtake him. The car sped up and ran into his trunk instead. Reece jumped in fear trying to get control of his car back, He Finally did and stared back at the car. “ it's Mr Ja
Time flew by and Ryan was still alone locked up in the secret room. He felt nauseous as the temperature in the room rose greatly. Ryan passed out after some while and woke up the next day. He unlocked the door and pushed it open. Ryan was extremely confused to see most of the house damaged beyond repair. It seemed the house was burned up, luckily the secret room Ryan hid in was built specifically to resist fire. That pointed out why he felt so hot in the room. Ryan shut the door and moved around. Things were burnt beyond recognition for him. “Mom, Mr Jack?” He called out as he moved around the house. He paused when he heard police sirens approaching the house. Tons of police vehicles and ambulances emerged in front of the damaged mansion. Ryan peeped out to see the cops and quickly ran away through the back door. He hid in the bushes and stared from safe distance. The police men and medics set to work immediately. The corpses were lifted by the medics. Ryan recognized his mother'
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
