"How did you get in here?!" the officer who dragged me up to my feet asked."Wait... Aren't these three the same ones sharing a cell with that houseboy we recently arrested? Quick! check the cell!" the one in charge ordered.Two policemen went ahead to do as they were told and came back with what was bad news to them, "he is not in his cell sir!" one of them panicked. "Come one! He couldn't have gone that far by now!" one yelled and a group followed in search of Devon.If he wasn't here there where was he? Did he escape on his own? "And you miss. You are coming with me right now." the officer holding me said and dragged me along with him.I was locked inside a small room and by morning all I could hear were whips. "Where did the newbie go?!" a voice shouted and the whip sounded, followed by the groaning of a man, "I don't know!" the voice which was groaning replied.Mrs. Wilson POV:I drove angrily on the road on my way to the station and almost ran someone over as a result of it, "
"Yes mother," Xavier answered and took Tamira from my arms. He left the room with her and I left after them but headed towards the cells.On reaching the cell where Devon used to be kept, I watched as one of those three men who used to be Devon's cellmate was being whipped."Stop," I said.The officer flogging him stopped and moved away. I stepped into the cell and took the whip from the officer."What is happening here?" I asked the officer."These three were spotted outside the cell at night." the officer answered me."And why is this one being flogged?" I asked the officer. "He is their leader and it was him who confessed to helping the houseboy escape." the officer answered."Are you getting dumb or were you born dumb?" I asked the officer. He gave me a confused look and hesitated to speak a word."How can one person confess to being responsible for Devon's escape and you believe him when it is so obvious that all three men helped him escape?" I questioned the officer."How?" the
"Enough of that nonsense. We are taking my car to the location." I said. I remembered that Tamira and Xavier were waiting for me inside but then waved it off.They would have to take a taxi because of Tamira. I wouldn't want her waking up in the middle of the entire thing and learning more than she should ever learn.iI headed for my car with Clark and two policemen. When I reached there I saw that neither Xavier nor Tamira was in my car. Just when I was about to call him, I spotted a note on one of the seats."I took Tamira home in a taxi. She had woken up and refused to stay but. I will make sure to keep her locked in her room till you return." the note said.I tore the note just in case and I entered my car. With the help of Clark's directions, we arrived at a small hut."That is where we kept him," Clark said."Stay back with him," I instructed the two officers. I went into the hut alone and there was no one in it. Had he gone somewhere? Never mind. I will wait till he gets back.
Mrs. Wilson POV:I entered my daughter's room with my son standing beside me, "Tamira." I said her name. How could this girl be asleep right now?Just by the movement of my eyes after I turned to him, I signaled Xavier to wake his sister up. Xavier shook Tamira awake and moved back to his position beside me.Slowly but surely, Tamira woke up and turned to us who were watching her. She sat up immediately and wiped her face with her hand, "What is it?" she asked. I wasn't expecting that kind of question from her after all that happened a few hours ago."Why are you two in my room?" Tamira asked us."Why not? Are we banned from entering? A mother should not see her child and a brother should not see his sister?" I asked her."You both mean nothing to me. I cannot be related to such people who frame crimes on the innocent." Tamira said."Have you two come here to confess your crimes or?" Tamira asked, looking at us suspiciously.I and Xavier exchanged surprised looks with each other. Did
Devon POV: It's been a long walk to nowhere. Nevertheless, I wasn't ready to give up just yet. I looked around me and the place was unfamiliar to me. My legs were aching from the long distance, my stomach was empty, and my throat was dried up with my mouth and lips. There was almost no hope of my surviving. I sat down at the side of the road and wondered, first, how I was going to find my way back on foot as I had no money on me. Second, of how I was going to eat and where I was going to stay. I knew no one in this place and no one seemed ready to let in a stranger. This was another poor side of the city, one of which I did not know. People paid no attention to me and just went about with their businesses. Soon I found an empty hut and I made myself at home. It didn't look like anyone stayed there anymore. "Excuse me, ma'am. Do you know the people who live here?" I asked a passerby, as I stepped out of the hut. The lady looked at me with indifference, hissed, and walked away. Th
Mr. Cranston POV:"Yes. Do that as soon as possible. More work more money. What you have can never be enough till it pumps steady." I said, into the phone."Thank you sir." the caller said. The call ended and I laid back in my chair feeling quite fatigued.The doorbell rang and my butler went to see who it was. After almost a second, my butler returned. "Sir, it's someone called Grenade that is here to see you." the butler informed a strange look on his face."Why are you making faces in front of me? Must you know every name in this world?" I asked the butler."So sorry sir." he apologized."Go and let him in. And don't repeat that mistake. People who come here are my business and not yours." I said."Yes sir. Thank you sir." the butler said and left. After a few seconds passed, the butler returned with Grenade and then left us both to talk."What are you doing here?" I asked Grenade."I heard you flew over to this place so I thought, why not give the big boss a little visit?" he answe
71*The next night*Devon POV:All around me were nothing but noisy men. They shouted and jumped and popped their champagne."Roco what is up with you?! Let loose and chill! Enjoy yourself!" Grenade said to me, his shouts merged with the loud music.I gave a brief smile only to show that I heard what he said and I started to move away from the crowd. The gang of seven men had just returned from a successful robbery and decided to celebrate immediately.I got out of the club and stood watching the dark sky. Not a moon or star in sight. I took in the fresh air and let it all out.I couldn't help but wonder... What did life have planned for me? Ever since I started my mission for vengeance, I have only been moving in circles.A hand touched my shoulder all of a sudden and I flinched. I turned to see that it was Grenade. Ever since I joined their gang he has been the only one talking to me. It's odd but I have no problem with it. I don't plan to have any close relations with any of them.
Mrs. Wilson POV: "I am sorry to inform you all but..." the lawyer hesitated to speak. "To tell us what?! I yelled at him. The lawyer flinched once the sound of my voice penetrated his ears. "The Will of your husband is nowhere to be found." the lawyer completed his words. "What?! What do you mean by his Will is nowhere to be found?!" I questioned in surprise. "Sir, I don't understand what you are trying to say," Tamira said to the lawyer. "Where the hell is my father's Will?! Is there something wrong with you?! How can you misplace such an important thing?!" Xavier shouted at the shivering lawyer. "S... Sir... Even I am surprised at the same level as you. I just woke up and poof! It wasn't where I had kept it anymore." the lawyer explained to Xavier. Xavier raised his hand to slap the lawyer but he froze and took control of himself. He brought down his hand and rubbed a hand on his forehead, "leave." Xavier told the lawyer. "Sir?" the lawyer questioned as if he didn't hear pro
