The next day, an air of indifference enveloped both Ashley and Jason. Their silence continued, unaffected by the concern of the other boys. It seemed as though they had reached a point of no return, with both of them choosing not to engage or communicate.Eric approached Jason cautiously, sensing the growing distance between him and Ashley. “Hey, man, have you tried talking to Ashley? This silence isn’t doing any good for either of you,” he suggested, his voice tinged with concern.Jason shrugged, his expression apathetic. “I don’t see the point, Eric. It feels like we’ve drifted apart. Maybe we’re just not meant to be a team anymore,” he replied, his voice devoid of emotion.Eric shook his head, disappointed by Jason’s indifference. “You can’t just give up like that, Jason. Remember the promise you made to find your parents? This disagreement shouldn’t break your bond. You need to try harder,” he urged, his voice filled with determination.Jason let out a sigh, his gaze distant. “I d

Jason’s mind raced with a desperate urgency as he flagged down a taxi passing by. The driver, initially taken aback by Jason’s frantic demeanor, rolled down the window and asked, “Where to, buddy?”Jason leaned towards the window, his voice filled with desperation. “Follow that car! I’ll pay you whatever it takes!”The taxi driver’s eyes widened at the sight of the wad of cash Jason threw at him. He quickly pocketed the money and nodded, a mixture of curiosity and concern evident on his face. “Alright, hold on tight!”The chase began, adrenaline pumping through their veins as the taxi tore through the streets, weaving through traffic with daring maneuvers.

Jason waited anxiously until the following day to go to Ashley’s house. As he arrived, he approached the gate and requested to meet Ashley’s father. However, the security guards denied him entry, insisting that Ashley’s father was not available to see visitors.Frustrated , Jason tried to persuade the guards, explaining that it was urgent and he needed to find Ashley. Despite his efforts, they remained adamant and refused to let him pass.Just as Jason’s frustration reached its peak, a car approached the gate. It was Ashley’s father returning home. Seeing Jason at the gate, he parked his car and stepped out, a nonchalant expression on his face.“What are you doing in my house?” Ashley’s father demanded, his tone laced with irritation.Jason confronted him, his voice filled with determination. “Where is Ashley? I know you’re involved in her disappearance. Let her go!”Ashley’s father feigned surprise, his face a mask of innocence. “I thought you knew. Ashley is out of the country. Why
That was when Jason knew something terrible was about to happen to him and interestingly it would be at his crush’s home.“I think his shirt might be expensive too, it is only nice we allow him get something to wear home” another guard had said.Soon enough, they descended on him bringing out cudgels. Jason could hear them laugh at him while discussing how he should be dealt with.“I think using a strong rope to beat him is the best” one of them said. “I am not really in support of that. That will only make us look wicked” another said laughing.Then he heard a strange voice. Different from the one he is familiar with. “You should just allow me punch him and that’s all” and the two other guards screamed then it occurred to Jason that he wouldn’t have survived his fist.They kept going on and on about what to do with him and finally results to using some cudgels on him. Jason groan in anger and frustration as he was being beating and his voice could barely be heard after a while of be
He finally got to the door of the house looking all drenched and hopeless but was not ready to give up. He sounded the alarm at the for and his mom Wondered how possible someone will be at her door while the rain was still up. She opened the door and was so sad as to how she met her son. He was looking all so cold and she could still see some bruises on him.Jason’s mother, overwhelmed with concern and love, embraced her son tightly as she welcomed him into the house. She guided him inside, shielding him from the cold rain, and led him to the living room. Concern etched on her face, she asked him gently, “What happened, Jason? Why are you hurt and crying?”Jason’s voice trembled as he tried to recount the ordeal he had just experienced but he stopped. “I was trying to save the day.”His mother’s eyes filled with tears, reflecting the pain and worry she felt for her son. “Oh, my dear Jason, I’m so sorry you had to go through this. You’re safe now. Let me take care of you.”She hurriedl
Jason was finally able to close his eyes for a short time after so much struggle to get a glimpse of sleep.In Jason’s dream, he found himself sitting on a checkered blanket in a picturesque park. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a warm glow on his parents, who sat beside him. Laughter filled the air as they enjoyed a delightful picnic together. Jason felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and contentment, cherishing the rare moment of unity as a family.His mother’s voice echoed in the dream, saying, “Oh, Jason, this is how it should be. Our little family together, making beautiful memories.”“Yes, your mother is right Jason, don’t you love it?” his father said giggling. Jason never really had a beautiful moment like this with any of his parents so this was such a shock for him.In the dream, he appears happy and in his shorts and shirts, he suggested that they play a game and his father was in total support.“Let’s play a game” he said with a broad laughter.
