"Ready." Philip replied breathing heavily."Okay." Jake said and inhaled slowly. " Here goes nothing." He muttered and carefully lowered the metal while Alvin tightly held unto him from behind to prevent him from falling.Philip took four large gulp of air and then grabbed unto the metal just as he let go of the vine. "Okay." He stated in a shaky voice.Jake turned to Alvin and gave a nod before turning back to Philip, his legs steady on the ground. "5....4...3..." Jake counted down, a death grip on the metal.".....2.....1." Jake and Alvin yelled out together.Jake gripped the metal with both hands, he inhaled deeply and began to pull, but the weight of Philip and the sticky mud kept pulling him in.Alvin focused all his strength and dragged Jake back. They were able to lift Philip up displaying his now visible chest,his waist down was still inside the mud. "You are doing well." Philip praised with a smile on his face , he was happy that half his body was now visible.Jaked was alrea
Tim wiped the tears cause by laughter from his eyes with his finger and turned towards her, his face expressionless.Lindsey breathe sized in fear wondering if she might have said something to offend him, she was about to apologize when a grin broke out from his face. "Guilty as charge." He admitted with a shrugged to his shoulder.Lindsey released the breathe she was holding and let out a nervous laugh. " So why did you bring Chess if you know you can not play it?" She asked her head tinted back in confusion.He watched her for some time , his head drawn back trying to think of a reasonable answer to give her. "Well....." He hummed. " I just wanted you to be happy and forget about what was making you sad." He let out.Lindsey nod her head. "But how did you know that chess can make me happy?" She questioned.Tim gave out a deep laugh. "You look like the nerdy type." He stated after he had calmed down, Lindsey gave him a glare."I am not the nerdy type." She denounced with a scoff. " I
"We need to move, before she really follows her instinct." Philip said and took a sneak at the window. "We just need to wait for Jake signal." He grimaced and plopped down, Alvin gave a nod, stood up to stretched his legs before going back down. Philip kept throwing rocks across the field , the sound not loud enough to alert the people inside, he gave a tired sigh and leaned back against the wall. "Why is he taking much time?" He thought just as a hand tapped him on his shoulder, he turned his head towards Alvin, his eyebrow raised. "What?" He mouthed.Alvin motioned with his head towards the window, Philip gave him one last look and then gently got up. A smile appeared on his face and he gave jake who was hidden behind a cabinet a thumbs up and then slowly turned towards Alvin with an evil grin on his face.Lindsey throat became dry all of a sudden and she stood up to go get water from the kitchen, Jake who was hiding behind one of the kitchen cabinet jumped out when he saw Philip's
Tim eyebrow shot up in fear and he quickly pushed her away. "Stay away from me, you have destroyed my home and I don't want you near me." He said his voice sounding cold, that was the only way he could think to make her leave him even if it meant her hating him, he would take it for he had come to love her as a sister.Lindsey looked at him in shock. "You don't mean that." She said and stood up.Tim held his face, his eyes looking behind her, he needs to act fast before they wake up." I do." He stated with a cold glare.Lindsey flinched back in fear, more tears kept flowing from her eyes. "Fine. I will go." She said and wipe her tears. "Goodbye Tim, I will never forget your kindness and I hope to see you again." And with that being said ,she ran towards the door and out of the house.Tim let out a relive breathe and quickly wiped the tears that flowed from his eyes. "I also hope to see you again." He mouthed and then turned away.He noticed the men were slowly getting up and with one
Carmichael relaxed behind his mahogany desk, his hands crossed as he stared ,lost in thought, he could not believe that he was unable to find out the where about of the chip that could change his life.He suddenly stood up from his chair with a groan and moved towards the window, watching as the birds flew away and people rushing to their various job.He continued staring out, distracted by his thought, when a knock brought him back to reality. He moved away from the window and went back to his chair, his hands folded in front of him."Come in." He voiced out after some silence.The door swung open and Jeff with a file in his hands entered, he gave a short bow and moved closer, he readjusted his glasses and moved a curly hair away from his eyes. "Sir." He said in greeting.Carmichael motioned to the chair opposite him, Jeff gave a nod in understanding and plopped down on the chair. Carmichael leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the person in front of him. "So... What brings yo
Lindsey kept running not minding the pains in her legs and the lost of breathe, all she knew was that she needed to get as far away from her captive.She stopped running when she tripped on a stone which made her come crashing down, though it wasn't a bad fall, so she was okay, she steadied herself and stand up when her stomach decided to voice it complain about hunger, she let out an annoyed sigh and sat back down on the ground, she removed the bag that Tim gave to her when he chased her out. She opened the bag to see different kind of snacks and bottle water, there were even some blanket to keep her warm, she smiled through her tiredness and moved the blanket aside, she brought out cookie from the bag and slowly,she torn the leather and began to chew as fast as she can, she un tight the water bottle cap and hurriedly drank from the water, she stopped drinking when she remembered that it was the only water bottle in the bag, she inhaled sadly and slowly cover the bottle water, thoug
Jake chuckled. "I wouldn't dream of it.""Better." Alvin mumbled and kept on walking, his eyes going in both direction."Wait." Jake yelled.Alvin turned to him a frown on his face. "What now?" He muttered.Jake looked at him and then at the tree branch.Alvin raise his eyebrow in confusion. "You better talk,cause I am not understanding you."Jake sighed deeply. " I meant, we will need a weapon for us to be able to hunt." He explained."Oh...." Alvin muttered. "Then why were you looking at the tree branch?" He asked his hand on his waist.Jake exclaimed loudly. "I was trying to tell you that we need the tree branch for weapon." He stated.Alvin gave him a confused stare. "All that with just looking at the branch and you expect me to understand.""My bad. I thought you were smarter." Jake muttered which earn him a glare from Alvin, other than that he kept quiet.Jake clicked his tongue and moved towards the tree branch, he saw the perfect stick he was looking for, hooked to a branch, b
He opened his eyes and with curious eyes watched as the stick flew in the direction of the unaware antelope.The antelope yelped in pain when the sharpen stick pierce its leg, it raised it head and stared at the men who threw the weapon before it ran into the forest, the injured leg on the air.Jake and Alvin snapped out of their shock state and quickly gave chase. Though the antelope ran with only three legs, it was still fast, it turned the other way as the sharpen stick till on its leg hit a tree and fell down. The antelope screamed in pain before vanishing into the woods.Jake and Alvin who were chasing it, came to a halt when they could no longer see it, they panted heavily looking in both direction.Jake sighed. "Our second hunt and still we missed." He muttered, tiredness evident in his voice and crouched down when he saw his sharpen stick on the ground, he picked it and stood up."It did not pierce the antelope deeply." Stated Alvin close to him when he saw where the blood st
