The Vipers Girl




By Hossana Isaac O.




(Hossy Korean Series)




Chapter 9




______________________________________________________________________




BAD BOY




I looked at her bewildered face and I came back to my senses. I stood up




Me: I'm sorry.




She looked down feeling embarrassed and I smiled




Me: just that I admire sexy girls, with the beauty and brains




I heard her chuckling




Me: if you don't like the dress, you can change it




Rosa: I don't have any other




Me: you didn't check the closet?




She looked up




Rosa: are they clothes in the closet?




I walked to the closet and opened it to show the clothes in it




Me: I ordered all of them




She stood up and walked to my side then grinned at the closet which was packed full




Rosa: when did you order them?




Me: the same time I ordered the one you're wearing, I only picked this one and dropped it on the bed




Rosa: wow




She brought out a joggers and sweater




Rosa: I love this




I grinned




Me: you should change let's go out. I don't want my men to be destabilized




She smiled a little




Me: I'll excuse you for five minutes then I'll be back




Rosa: I won't even take up to three minutes. I'm a fast dresser




Me: now that's perfect. I'll be waiting at the hallway




She nodded and I left. As I walked a few meters, I saw Leon coming




Leon: boss




He bowed




Me: where are you going?




Leon: I was looking for you




Me: what for?




Leon: because I have to....show you the new development in the bank that was hacked




Me: perfect. Just the news I was waiting for




I lighted a cigarette and threw the lighter to him. He caught it and I also threw my pack of cigarettes to him. He caught it but hesitated in bringing his hand down from the air. He was just looking behind me




Me: what are you looking at?




I turned back and raised an eyebrow




Leon: whoa...




Me: you took two minutes




She smiled shyly




Leon moved forward




Leon: you must be leaving now, I'll lead you out and drop you off




He was trying to walk towards Rosa but I dragged him back




Me: Rosa is not leaving




Leon: then why is she all dressed up




Me: don't question me. You can go now




Leon frowned




Me: I said you can go now




Leon: yes boss




He turned and reluctantly left




Rosa finally spoke up after staring at the both of us since




Rosa: you shouldn't have been that harsh. You could have been more nicer




I looked at her and chuckled evilly




Me: I'm never nice. The only person I'm nice to is you




She looked down at her bare white feet




Rosa: not even Fedora?




It was in a mumble so it wasn't that audible but I heard her. Nevertheless, I still asked




Me: what did you say?




Rosa: nothing




I sighed and looked at her figure. Her long hair was in a ponytail and she was wearing the grey joggers and sweater she took from the closet




Me: you look good. Now let's top it up with a pair of shoes




She looked at her feet then chuckles softly




I took her hand




Me: let's go to my room




Rosa: OK




We moved to my room and I closed the door. Her eyes immediately went to the wallpaper on the wall opposite my door




Rosa: oh my God




She covered her eyes and looked down




I chuckled and removed her hand from her face




Me: is it that bad?




She looked directly at me, trying to avoid seeing the wallpaper




Rosa: why do you have something like that?




Me: because I like it




She shook her head and looked down




It was a wallpaper of a completely naked girl with her vital organs wide open.




Me: I'm thinking I should change that wallpaper




I said as I pulled her to seat on a cushion




Rosa: yes please change it




Me: I'm thinking I should change it to yours




Rosa: NO!




The way she screamed and jerked off made me laugh so hard that my eyes became teary




Me: you're so full of drama




I stood up and went to my shoe rack and pulled out two grey sneakers then walked back to her




I squatted




Me: I hope it fits in




I lifted her foot and slipped the shoe in.




Rosa: fits perfectly




I took the other foot and slipped it in before standing up. She stood up too and twirled around then gave three acrobatic dance steps




I was amazed




Me: you're a dancer?




Rosa: no... But I can dance




Me: huh




Rosa: not everyone who knows how to dance is a dancer




Me: OH




She clasped her hands and stared at me as if waiting for me to give her orders




I crossed my arms against my chest and stared at her too




Rosa: Bad Boy.....




Me: Bad Girl....




She dropped her hands and frowned




Rosa: what! I'm not a bad girl.




Me: then what should I call you? Unnie?




She shook her head




Me: ahjumma?




She shook her head again




Me: then what should I call you?




Rosa: Rosalyn




I chuckled




Rosa: what was that for?




Me: your name is too long




Rosa: no it's not




Me: yes it is




I moved towards my closet




Rosa: where are you going?




Me: to shower. Wait for me in your room!




I opened the door of the closet and walked inside, I turned back to see Rosa but she wasn't there anymore




I dropped my gun on the bed before undressing then I took it again to the bathroom




ROSA




I walked back to my room and stood in front of the mirror. I loved the way I looked, and I was slightly happy. Whenever I'm happy, I dance and that's exactly what my legs are doing now




Me: whoaa huuuuuuuu




I screamed joyfully as I slid across the room. I danced to my own music and finally collapsed on the bed




I laughed and stood up then walked to the table where I ate my pizza. The box was still there and the slices were remaining three. I took one and ate before washing my hands at the sink




I came back and met Bad Boy sitting on my bed




Me: hey!




He looked up




Me: you should learn how to knock




Bad Boy : will you teach me?




Me: why would I do that?




He stood up and walked slowly towards me with a stern face




Bad Boy : are you talking to me with disrespect now?




I moved backwards




Me: no... No I'm not




He grabbed me and turned me around, held his left hand against my neck and his right hand held a gun to my head. I screamed loudly because I was so terrified, so so terrified




We were standing in front of the mirror and I could see his demon-like face




He looked into the mirror and began to laugh. He dropped the gun but still held me in that position




I began to breathe heavily




Bad Boy : you're easily scared, aren't you?




Me : you're....a son...to the devil...




My chest was beating really fast




Bad Boy : haha, I'm actually his first son




He released me and I fell on my knees. My hands were on the floor and my head was lowered




Me: I think....I think I'm gonna...I'm gonna faint




He pulled me up




Bad Boy : I hate girls that faint, let's go




He pulled me out of the room




Me: you can stop pulling me now




He stopped and I dusted the place where he was holding me and glared at him




Me: stupid ugly boy




Bad Boy : what did you just say? Me: OH OH




I ran off and he pursued me down the hallway. I got to the stairs and hurriedly ran down it. It was then I realized that I wasn't limping anymore. How it happened, I don't know




I got down the stairs and ran off but I bumped into a black man with dreads, he was smoking � and he had a long gun across his shoulder




I screamed and fell down.




Black man : who are you and what are you doing here?




His voice was so deep and harsh




Bad Boy : she's with me




I looked up and Bad Boy was climbing down the stairs




The black man glared at me and walked away




Bad Boy came to me and pulled me up




Bad Boy : consequences of insulting the boss in his house and trying to escape from him




I frowned and crossed my arms




Bad Boy : are you hungry?




Me: no




Bad Boy : let's go out




He held my hand and we walked outside




LEON




Who is this girl that Bad Boy is keeping with him? He doesn't treat his girls that way. This girl is strange




Does Bad Boy have a family somewhere? Is she his sister?




I'm sure they're related cause the Bad Boy I know doesn't keep affairs with a lady, except of course Fedora




But everyone knows that they're more of sex partners and nothing more




I have to find out who this girl is




BAD BOY




Me : this is my first time taking ice-cream in years




Rosa: seriously? The other day, at the other house. You said it's been awhile since you last drank juice. And now you're saying it's been years since you took ice-cream. What the heck do you actually take?




Me: cigarettes, alcohol, food and water




Rosa: alcohol and smoking isn't good for you




I chuckled and took another spoon of ice-cream. We were in my car because I didn't want anybody to see us together.




Me: so tell me why you left the house




She looked at the ice-cream cup and didn't answer me




I stared at her




Me: are you going to tell me




Rosa: it's because I felt I was becoming an outsider




Me: whaat?




Rosa: you and your girlfriend. You two were so much in love and were always together. You didn't have time for me anymore and I felt like I wasn't needed. You guys left and I was all alone. I started seeing strange movements around the house from strange people. What Fedora told me came to my mind and I.....




My eyes widened




Me: Fedora told you something!




She looked at me and didn't say anything




Me: just... Just continue




Rosa: so I ran away




Me: what exactly did she tell you?




Rosa: I should leave because I wasn't safe with you




Me: well she helped your life




Rosa : what?




Me: that day you left, the house was bombed and nobody survived




Rosa: WHAT!




Me: and I killed Fedora that same day




Rosa : WHAT! You killed your girlfriend




Me: Fedora is not my girlfriend.




Rosa: don't lie to me. I saw you having sex with her on the dinning table




Me: what? You saw that? Wow. But she isn't my girlfriend, she's just a bitch. But she was working with Red Light against me. She was the reason that house got bombed, they thought I was in it. But I wasn't. Find I found out, I killed her immediately




Rosa swallowed a lump and stared at her cup which was almost melting




Me: if I had known you were hurt seeing Fedora and I, I would have dismissed her




Rosa: I wasn't hurt....




Her cheeks turned red




Me: liar....




She frowned and glared at me




Me: how about I make up for those times I made you feel that way?




Rosa: no need. I don't want it. What I want now is to be distant from you. I hate being insecure, I don't like danger. And being with you is danger. Just imagine if I was in that house that day, I'd be dead now. I don't want to be endangered




I looked outside through the tinted window. My eyes were burning red and I didn't want her to see it.




Me: so you're just gonna go away?




I wasn't looking at her but I felt like she was looking at me




Me: you can go




She still didn't reply




I looked at her




Me: can you drive?




She nodded




Me: good....




I threw her the car keys




Me: take the car. There's an envelope in the glove box, it contains huge money. Take it and make your life comfortable. I apologize for shooting you. This is what got you into this in the first place




I opened the door, dropped my cup of ice-cream and got out




Rosa: Bad Boy.....




I ignored the call and jammed the door then wore my sunglasses and walked away




I saw her from the side view coming out of the car but she didn't make any move




I took my phone and called my car again. I walked further a little before it came. I opened it and got inside




Me: damn!




I hit my hand on the staring and closed my eyes




Me: goddammit! Why do I care about you so much?




ROSA




I stared at him as he walked away angrily. I couldn't go after him and I didn't know if I should just do as he said. My eyes teared up and I ran back into the car to cry. I cried myself out because I didn't know what I wanted




If I should go away now  will I really feel comfortable with myself?




Won't I feel insecure too?




I don't know what to do!




I looked at the ice-cream cup he left behind. I took it and smiled. Bad Boy was good to me. I don't see why I should let him go.




Wasn't he the only one who has ever accepted me in this life of mine?




If not for him, I would definitely be roaming the streets with crutches and still be a laughing stock




I closed my eyes and opened them again. I got out of the car and walked to the other door, I got in and started the car.




I haven't driven this type of car before, the one I drove was a minivan. I only drove an automatic car once. I hope I can drive this one well




I drove out though I did little mistakes but I still managed to get to the house




The security guard recognized me and allowed me in




I walked inside without looking at the guards and they didn't tell me anything




I went upstairs to my room, took a shower and changed into a simpler wear




I went to his room door, knocked on it but there was no response

I kept knocking but still no response

I decided to go and ask one of the guards if he was at home

I wanted to turn when the door opened

Bad Boy : I thought I told you not to disturb me Leon

His face was red and he was shirtless. He didn't look at me and his voice was dull

Me: Bad Boy..... I came back

He quickly looked at me

Bad Boy : Rosa?

Me: I'm not leaving anymore. I wanna stay with you

He was just looking at me,  speechless

I moved closer and hugged him unexpectedly

� The Loverboys�




(What're you doing here?)




              Episode 8




By: Faith Lucky.




                Jeanne's Pov:




We finally arrived at the lover boys mansion and my lips were open the whole time, finding it hard to believe the ineffable building in front of me.




What the hell?




Is this a mansion or a paradise?




It was so huge and round and was painted in a silver white colora and  a water spring was right at the center.




The floors were german floored and there were about two garages in the compound with different classic cars filled in them.




Those were just the little parts of the building I could see at the facade.




I came out of the car and stood like a statue, looking around.




It was said the loverboys mansion was the third most expensive building in the country and it was indeed true.




Seriously, it looked like half heaven to me. I can't believe lll be staying here.




I was still standing confoundedly when a boy came upto me from the house.




"Hey, are you miss Jeanne?" He asked and I nodded, wondering whom he might be.




"Okay. Please come in. Mrs Tristan already told me about you" he said warmly and collected my bag from me and started walking into the house.




I followed.




He was young and neartly dressed and I figured he was probably a worker there since all the workers were males.




I followed him into the breath taking sitting room but couldn't admire it for long because Molly came in immediately.




"Jeanne!" She called and ran to me, embracing me.




She was putting on a jeans short and a blue top and held a teddy bear.




"Hey, good to see you again" I told her and she smiled.




The boy with my bag had made use of the staircase.




I looked around and noticed they actually had two different staircase - one at the right and one at the left.




"Oh! You're here" I heard someone say and turned to see Mrs Tristan climbing down the right staircase.




She was putting on a short black gown and set of blue heels and looked really pretty.  No wonder Molly and Alex also had such good looks.




"Good evening Mrs Tristan"  I greeted with a little bow.




"Good evening dear. And  Welcome to the mansion. I'm really happy to know you accepted my proposal.




As for the Alpha Records, I'm already on it and you can start training tomorrow".




She paused and checked her time.




"I'm off to a meeting now. So maybe we'll talk better when I get back. Molly, get Evans to show her to her room, okay?" She said a and headed for the door and Molly followed her behind.




"Get me some chocolates on your way back, mum" she said as she followed her to the door and I smiled and watched them.




"Are you the new nanny?" I heard a soft voice spoke firm behind and I turned and saw a young, handsome boy standing in front of me.




I looked at him from head to toe and noticed he was putting on an apron.




"Uhm...yes" I replied, trying to get myself together.




"Wow! I never expected to see a female worker here again. I hope yours will be different.




Anyway, I'm Evans and I'm the chef" he said and brought out his hand for a handshake.




"I'm Jeanne" I replied with a smile and received the handshake.




Molly had joined us.




"Welcome to the mansion, Jeanne. Please come with me" he said and started walking away and Molly and I followed him.




We took the left staircase and came out to a big place with different rooms.




"We do have the servants quarters" he said. "But since you're Molly's nanny, Mrs Tristan had suggested you stayed here in the main building".




I nodded and followed him to a room which he upended and we all walked in.




"This will be your room, Jeanne" he said as we walked in and my eyes deamed.




Wow!




Is this really going to be my room? It was fabulous!




"Don't worry Evans. I'll take it from here. You can go" molly said to him and he chuckled and looked at me.




"You're lucky she likes you, Jeanne" he said. "At least there's a 40% possibility of you staying here".




I cleared my throat and sighed.




It seems Alex is going to be the only problem I'll be having here.




"Okay, Molly; ill be leaving you to your new nanny. Don't get her into trouble, okay?"




"Sure Evans" molly replied and he left the room.




"So, what do you think about your new room, nanny?" She asked and I nodded repeatedly.




"it's okay. I love it" I replied and paused to look at her.




"Uhm...your brother isn't at home, is he?" I asked.




"Nope. But he'll be back soon".




"Oh! Is he aware you're having a new nanny?"




"Huh? Who would dare tell him? It's better he sees it for himself".




Oh-oh.




so they haven't even told him yet? What would his reaction be when he finds out?




"Come with me nanny; let me show you to my room" molly said she held my hand and we left my room together.




She took me back to thethe sitting room and climbed the right staircase and I followed her.




Wow!




This looks just like a different house on its own.




She took me to a room which we opened and immediately we stepped in, I figured it was her room because there were lots of toys around.




There was a laptop on the bed and I saw two big phones as well.




"This is my room, nanny" she said excitedly and spread her hands around.




"it's uhm. .its beautiful' I said with a nod.




She smiled and further took me to her dressing room and I gasped.




How can a kid have such clothes and jewelries?




Wow! They really spoil her a lot.




She went on showing me her favorite clothes, shoes, bags and jewelries and I was bemused.




Then she took me out of the room, probably to show me around. But when we got outside her room, she paused.




"That's my brother's room" she said and pointed to the room facing hers.




Huh?




"T...That's Alex's room?" I asked and she nodded.




OMG!




So his room is actually close to hers?




On the door was a gold lettered inscription - Loverboy.




I smiled as I looked at it.




"Come on nanny; let me show you to the rest of the room" she said and took my hand and we left the passage.




She took me to another part of the staircase and showed me to the room of the remaining three idols - Carl, Daniel and Malcolm.




Then she took me outside and showed me round the house.




They had two swimming pools, a big beautiful garden, a leisure place and so much more.




The building was just too magnificent.




"How old are you, Molly?" I suddenly asked.




'Five" she replied and I sighed.




She probably wouldn't have any idea about Theo.




We talked about other things and I got to know more about her.




She was in pre school and her school was actually close to mine.




We went back to the sitting room and I admired the decorations there.




The Loverboys pictures were pinned on the wall and they all looked cute in them. But Alex was outstanding as usual.




Just then, I heard a dog barking and I quickly turned and saw a puppy coming towards me




What? There was a dog In the house?




it kept coming to me with full speed and I became scared. Does it want to attack me or something?




Luckily, molly got in the way.




"Hey, Ambrose; calm down" she said and squatted on the floor and it stopped in front of her.




She rubbed his head but it still looked at me and barked.




"Come on Ambrose; don't be mean to the newbie" Molly said and immediately, he barked loudly at her and she shrieked and stood up.




Then he ran outside.




"Gosh! That dogs so stubborn. Just like his owner" she said with an irritated look.




"Who owns it?" I asked.




"Well, it's Alex's. It's his pet. He's so stubborn and the only person has friendly with is Alex.




He's so annoying" she replied with a huff and I scoffed.




"By the way, nanny, why don't you sing me more barbie songs? She asked in an appealing tone.




'You promised me remember?"




"Uhm...Molly, I...I know, but. .."




"But what?" She cut in and I sighed.




Just then, we heard the sounds of cars driving in and she rushed to the window to check it out.




She gasped and covered her mouth with her palm.




"Oh, my God, nanny; the Loverboys are back! Alex's back!" She exclaimed and my eyes widened and I sprang on my feet.




Oh, Jesus!




I also rushed to the window and confirmed it. It was really them!




Numerous cars had driven in and parked in the garage and the Loverboys came out from four of the cars with securities around them.




But the securities stopped at the garage while they started approaching the house.




Oh, my gee! The Loverboys are here! They're going to see me. What's going to happen now?




"I...I think you should hide, nanny" Molly said and I looked at her.




Does she expect me to keep hiding the whole time?




"Oh! What do we do?" She said with a grouch.




"Alex might be really mad when he sees you. Maybe you should just run away".




Gosh; this girl's only adding to my problems. Does she think this is a  barbie game?




I stood confused and thought of what to do and just then, the door opened and the loverboys walked in.




O...M...G!




This has really happened.




They were all putting on the Loverboys cardigan and Alex was in their middle.




They stopped the moment they saw me.




"What the..." one of them - Carl - tried speaking, but didn't complete it.




"A female in the house?" Malcolm asked.




I just stood confoundedly; gulping nervously.




Then finally, Alex took off his specs and gave me a look id never forget.




"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked and I felt my breath seizing.




Oh, God!




Maybe I should've taken Molly's advice.




Maybe, I should've ran away.

(What's going to happen?)

Episode 7

By: Faith Lucky.

Jeanne's Pov:

I stuttered and moved back a little.

"Jeanne?" She called, her eyes gushing with curiosity for an answer.

"Mrs...Mrs Tristan, I..." I stuttered and shook my head, running out of words.

The whole thing was too surprising. Working in the Loverboys mansion?

"I...I don't know. I can't" I replied dazily and she touched her forehead.

"come on Jeanne. Please i promise you won't be stressed out. All I need is just someone to make sure she's safe whenever I'm not around" she said with a grouch.

"But...I...I heard there are no female workers in the Loverboys mansion. I heard..."

"Oh, please; don't worry about that. As long as Molly likes you, everything will be fine. You'll be accepted.

"Please don't turn me down. I've been in need of this for years now. Molly has always detesteddetested all the nannies I got for her and it's a miracle she likes you. so, please, you're the only option I have right now. Just help me out. State your prize. I'm ready to pay any amount you ask for".

I inhaled deeply and looked for Molly and she was smiling. Oh, God!

Is this really going to happen? Am I really going to start working in the mansion and be close to the loverboys?

How did this even happen?

To be sincere, I'm really scared and nervous. But with the look on Mrs Tristian's face, she really looked desperate for a nanny. And with someone like Molly, I think she'd be fun talking care of.

But I still felt nervous. How can I do this?

"Jeanne" Mrs Tristan called and took a step forward.

"Please dear, what do you think? Will you help me out?; just ask me for anything and I promise to give it to you."

But...wait; did she just say she was ready to do anything I ask for?

What if...

"Mrs Tristan" I called and looked at her.

"if...If I'm actually to work for you, would you grant me a request?" I asked and she sighed.

."just say it.".

My heart suddenly leapt.

Could this be the opportunity I've been looking for?

"What Is it Jeanne?" She asked again and I gulped nervously.

"Would...would you have me signed into the Alpha Records?" I asked and she looked a little surprised.

"You...you want to be part of the lovergirls?" She asked and I nodded bashfully.

Then she smiled.

"Consider it done. You can start training as soon as possible" she replied and my eyes widened in disbelieve.

Oh, my God!

did she just agree to it?

Do I really have a possibility of becoming part of the lovergirls?

Oh, Jesus!

I covered my mouth and gasped. I was taken abacked.

"Please, Jeanne; I'm ready to do more, just a long as you agree to help me out" she said and dipped her hand into her bag.

"Here's my card. I'll be waiting for your call" she told me as she handed a card to me.

"I hope you take what I said into consideration, Jeanne. Bye" she added and turned to leave.

"Bye Jeanne" Molly also said with a wave and left with her and the two guards who were there followed them behind.

I unconsciously sat on the floor, looking at the card. Everything seemed to happen fast.

I can't believe I really have an opportunity to start working in the loverboys mansion and then get signed in to the Alpha Records if I pass the training.

Isn't this a miracle?

I sat quietly for a long time, thinking about the whole thing.

Although a part of me was scared and nervous, to be sincere, a part was still excited.

If really it works out, then it's going to be an honour getting to be close to the loverboys.

I'll get to see them everyday and maybe even touch them.

Oh, God!

I'll get to be close to Alex!

Whaaat?

Okay Jeanne. I think my mind is made up. I want to work there. I want to goto the loverboys mansion.

But...oh, my!

Dad must've left the country already.

Oh, my God!

He's the only one who would've easily consented to it.

I can swear his wife would never agree to such a thing. She would never want something this good for me.

Oh, God! What do I do?

*

I returned home, feeling despondent. The thought of pleading with 'mum' to let me go to the loverboys mansion and train in the Alpha Records kept niggling at me as I was sure she'd never agree to it.

She's always been so hard hearted towards me and I'm sure she wouldn't want me to accept something that good. And dad has left the country already.

But, it'd had really been a great thing for me if it had worked out. At least, I'd have been saved from the torments of dad's wife and kids. I'd have had a better life.

I came out of the car and walked absent mindedly towards the entrance of the house.

I felt so bittered.

My life's gonna turn into a living hell again since dad's no longer around. His wife and kids are definitely going to turn me into their slaves again.

Oh, God!

What if I just run away?

When I got to the door, I stopped and felt reluctant going in.

I suddenly started imagining all that would happen.

'Jeanne, fix my nails...'

'Make me some tea'

'I don't like this bagel...'

'Are you dumb? Wash them immediately...'

'Sweep my room again...'

I sighed and touched my forehead. It was beginning to feel hot already.

I slowly placed my hand on the knob of the door. I was about turning it when I suddenly heard a masculine voice from inside.

Huh?

Isn't that dad's voice?

I quickly opened the door and rushed in and my eyes met with dad.

Whaat?

He's still here?

Oh, my God!

'Jeanne you're back" he said as he rounded up the call be was making.

His wife and kids were there .well.

"Dad, I...I...I thought you were leaving?" I asked confoundedly.

"Yes, dear. I still am. My flight just got delayed a little. But I'm about leaving now" he replied and I gasped.

This is unbelievable!

I ran to him and embraced him immediately. He probably doesn't know what his presence means to me.

Aith he felt a little surprised, he still hugged me back.

"Had no idea we were shooting a movie" I heard Susan say but I didn't try to look at her.

"is everything okay?" Dad asked as we unlocked from the hug and I smiled and nodded.

"i just...I have something important to tell you dad" I replied happily.

MINUTES LATER

"What? That's nonsense. I don't like the idea. How do you expect her to work in the loverboys mansion?" Mum - Mrs Raymond - said angrily as I rolled my luggage to the sitting room.

"I've told you, hun; she'll be fine. Mrs Tristan has promised to sign her into the alpha records and that'd be making her dream come true" dad replied, a little depressed.

"But dad" Ivy groused

"How can we be so sure she won't just go out there and bring shame on us?"

"Yes. The loverboys are the richest idols in America dad. How can she cope living with them?" Susan also said.

We were all standing.

"By the way, Raymond, who's gonna help out in the house chores?

You know she's been of use" his wife also added

"I brought Jeanne here as my daughter and not a maid. We already have a maid in the house and that should be enough for you" dad replied and turned to me.

"Let's go" he said and I nodded happily and followed him, ignoring the bitter looks his wife and daughters were throwing at me.

Well, like I always said, with dad by my side, I have nothing to be scared of.

When I had told him about it, he was a little uneasy at first, considering the fact id have to be living with someone else.

But after considering the other facts, like being free from his wife and kids, he finally gave it a thought.

Then he placed a video call to Mrs Tristan and they communicated for a short while.

She was very happy to know her offer was accepted and she had promised to take good care of me.

Dad and I got outside and noticed the car Mrs Tristan sent to pick me up was already there.

"Be very careful around there, okay? Don't do anything to offend the idols. And don't get into trouble. Okay?" Dad told me as we stood beside my ride.

I smiled and embraced him.

"Thank you dad. I owe you a lot" I told him and he kissed me on the hair.

"I'll be leaving bow. I'm already running late for my flight. See you when I get back" he said and we waved at each other before he left for his car.

I stood, watching him as he entered into the car and started driving away.

"I love you dad. And I wish you were really my dad".

I exhaled and entered into my own car and the driver took off immediately.

Wohoo!

I can't believe I'm going to the loverboys mansion.

.but on a serious note, I'm actually going to be the only female worker there.

What would the loverboys reaction be?

Especially Alex.

What will he do when he sees me there?

He's always resented females - a reason I'm still trying to figure out.

But, what would his reaction be when he gets to know a girl will be living close to him from now on?

TBC.

The Vipers Girl �

�Chapter 8


ROSA

I looked back at the girls screaming on the floor. Their legs were bleeding terribly and the people around were just running away

Why did Bad Boy come for me?

Was he missing me?

No

I highly doubt that

I felt his hand encircle my waist and I looked up at his face

Bad Boy : should we take them to the hospital?

I shook my head

I don't want him to take them to the hospital the same way he took me to the hospital. Just in case they end up living in his house too

Me: but why did you shoot them?

Bad Boy : so they'll feel the pain you felt

He left me and walked to where the girls were

They screamed and tried to crawl away from him. Maybe they think he's going to kill them

Bad Boy : quiet! I hate noisy girls. You should be grateful I didn't silence you forever. Now listen, I shot you because of what you said to Rosa. I'm not going to take you to the hospital so take care of yourself. And wherever you see Rosa next time, respect her. Because if you mess with her, then you mess with the wrong person. She belongs to the vipers now

He stood up and walked back to me

Bad Boy : let's go princess

He carried me up to the car, opened the door and sat me in

Bad Boy : you have a lot of explaining to do young lady

Me: I don't have anything to explain to you

Bad Boy : why did you leave? And when?

Me: I'm not answering you

He sighed and started the car

Me: you can drop me at that kiosk by the roadside

Bad Boy : I'm taking you home

Me: this is my home

Bad Boy : not anymore

His face was in a deadly frown so I was afraid of arguing with him

Me: why don't I just take my bags from there?

Bad Boy : you don't need it

Me: but my clothes and teddy are....

Bad Boy : we'll buy new ones

I sighed and looked through the window.

I don't want to go to his house. At least not while Fedora is still there

BAD BOY

I parked in the garage of my initial house. A guard quickly ran and opened my door. I looked at Rosa who was having questions all over her face

Me: don't come out of the car yet

She nodded drastically

I got out and the guard closed the door. He was having a gun which hung across his chest

I walked to Rosa's door and opened it for her

Me: you can come out now

She gulped and came out. She looked terrified when she saw that each of the men outside were carrying different weapons. Each one of them looked terrible. Black people were also among them. These are my assassins

I held her hand

Rosa: where is this place?

Me: my house. My original house

I pulled her along but she took her hand away

Rosa: I don't want to go in there

Me: Rosa, this place is safer

Rosa: what happened to the other house? That place is better

I sighed and swept her off her feet. She screamed and kicked her legs as I took her in

I took her inside and dropped her in the living room.

She looked around

Me: it's not bad right

She glared at me and I laughed and carried her again

Rosa: I can walk now

Me: I know

I took her upstairs and she kept looking at each guard that we passed by

Me: they're not going to kill you Rosa

He breathed out and I chuckled.

I opened a door and entered in with her. I dropped her and closed it.

The room was larger than her previous room

Me: this is your new room

Her eyes sparkled

I don't even know when my hand held her waist.

Me : do you like it?

Rosa: I love it. It's like a living room

Me: since you're afraid of my men, I'll assign a maid to you and probably make this place more comfortable for you. What do you think?

She smiled

Rosa: thank you. Thank you so much

I lifted her face

Me: you're welcome

She went to look at the huge bed.

I tucked my hands into my pockets and watched her

I wonder why I'm happy with Rosa. It's not a normal thing for me to take natural delight in a girl

Rosa: why is this bed so large?

She laughed and jumped on the bed

Should I tell her I bought the bed specially for love making?

Me: come on, freshen up. I'll be back

I went out of the room and ordered new clothes for her. I didn't order much. Just something she could wear for the now, till we go shopping

BYREOM

Ron thinks Bad Boy is dead. I always knew that man was a stupid man. He's not fit to be a boss because he thinks like a dumb chicken

Even Kick knows Bad Boy can't be defeated easily

Bad Boy needs step by step plan to be defeated. And he needs a weakness.

He brought a girl in today. Who knows who she is?

I have to keep an eye on her because the way Bad Boy is treating her, I don't think she's a person he kidnapped or someone he wants to have sex with

ROSA

I came out of the bathroom with a towel round my chest. My hair was wet and was sticking to my skin.

I saw a white dress on the bed. Bad Boy must have kept it here for me

I went to the door and locked it. I don't want him barging in on me while I'm dressing up. Not that I have much to hide anyway

I rubbed lotion on my body and wore the dress. It was silky and revealing because I wasn't wearing anything inside. My nipples were pointing out and my butt was totally drawn out.

It's sexy but I can't wear it outside. All those guards might pin me down if they see this

Maybe I should just stay here and when Bad Boy comes, I'll ask him to get something for me to eat

BAD BOY

Leon: Bad Boy, aren't you supposed to be drilling into someone upstairs

I looked at him

Me: drilling someone upstairs?

Leon: yeah, the girl you brought

Me: oh her

Leon: if you don't want her, I could really use a girl right now

I cracked

Me: I'm going upstairs

I stood up with my bottle of wine and my pack of cigarettes. My lighter was over my neck like a neck chain

Leon: don't take it easy on her. Do it till she screams your real name

I laughed and turned then kicked him though he dodged and fell on the cushion.

I chuckled and raced upstairs. I wanted to knock on Rosa's door but what he said replayed in my mind

�do it till she screams your real name�

�Bad Boy, aren't you supposed to be drilling into someone upstairs�

�don't take it easy on her�

Right then, I became hard. The spirit of lust took over me and my eyes turned dark

My veins popped out and even the hair on my arms stood erect

It would be fun to hear Rosa scream my name

I wonder what she has behind those dresses.

I really wanna have a taste of her

I tried to knock but I couldn't.

Me: if I go in now, nothing is going to save her

I groaned and closed my eyes. I opened them again and turned back to the hallway that leads to my own room.

I hurriedly opened my door and closed it

I dropped the bottle and the Cigarettes then sat on the bed.

The urge is so strong that I can't even think straight.

I covered my face with my palms and tried to get Rosa's naked image from my head but I couldn't

Leon caused all these. If only he just minded his business

I stood up and walked to the bathroom. My man was still like a soldier on duty.

If I don't get another lady tonight, then I'll be tempted to break Rosa's door and have my damn way with her

So I took my phone and walked out of my room. I hurriedly walked past Rosa's room and as I was walking down the stairs, I ordered pizza for her because I don't know when I'm coming back

I entered into my car and drove to my usual hotel

ROSA

I heard a knock on my door. It must be Bad Boy. I took a towel and covered my breast by hanging it over my shoulder.

I walked to the door and opened it.

I saw a handsome young man

He smiled and handed me a box of pizza.

Man: Bad Boy asked me to give you this

I smiled

Me: thanks

I wanted to ask him where exactly Bad Boy is but I decided not to so I just closed my door and sat on a cushion to eat

LEON

Man!

That girl is damn sexy

Where the heck is Bad Boy? Why is he not with her? If he's not interested, he should just hand her over to me

I took my phone and called Bad Boy but he didn't pick up. I tried two more times but he didn't pick still

I went to my room and took protection then went back to the girl's door. I was going to knock when one of the men came and asked me to check the hacked bank systems out. So I had to leave with him

BAD BOY

I checked the time, it was almost 5pm. I left the house by 1pm and went to the hotel where I satisfied my urge before coming to my bar house. I've been drinking since and I forgot about Rosa

I stood up and entered into my car then drove home. I went straight upstairs and without even knocking, I entered into Rosa's room. She wasn't inside, I called her and walked towards the bed. The bathroom door opened and she came out wearing that dress I dropped for her

My eyes turned dark again when I saw how pointed her nipples were. Her cleavages, curves and even her pubic shape was revealed

My eyes got glued to her boobs

She noticed this and tried movie away from me but then my eyes moved round her whole back. From her hair to her legs. She took a towel on the bed and covered herself

What is she covering?

My eyes are going beyond that towel

She sat on the bed

Rosa: where did you go to?

Me: I... I just had to see someone...

Rosa: I don't like the dress you got for me

Me: I... I love it

My eyes moved to her legs and I imagined if they were parted

I didn't even know when I moved closer to her and squatted before her. She shifted uneasily

Rosa: Bad Boy what are you doing?

-----------------------Hossy Korean Series

Chapter 7

�?Bad Boy�

I sighted the house where the voices were emanating from. I was so angry that my anger deafened my ears to what they were still talking about.

I even turned it off unconsciously

I raged towards the house that looked like a normal house.

My detector would have beeped if they were any weapons in the house.

I screened it and it was totally free. I saw Fedora's car and one other bullet proof car standing outside.

I grinned evilly and kicked the door.

Two people were seated on the cushion.

Ron and Fedora who was seated on his lap. The people standing were guards and I guess the one in the middle is the one taking orders from Ron.

They looked shocked to see me, mostly Fedora.

I glared at her

Me: bitch......

The guard standing in the middle tried to make an attempt to kick me but I just dodged and he kicked the wall. The room was too small for anyone to run. But Ron was quick to find his way out

I even thought he was going to fight me but he didn't, he just tried to escape through the back door.

I shot at the two guards and then turned and shot the one who kicked the wall.

It was now Fedora

I turned and faced her terrified figure on the cushion. She tried to stand but I kicked her down with my foot and then I laid it on her tummy

Fedora : Bad Boy, please we can fix this. We can talk this through

Me: one mistake that I did, is bringing myself to trust a snake like you

Fedora : you only trusted me because you're a snake too. Aren't you a viper? The leader of vipers?

Me: SHUT UP!

She looked away, she was breathing heavily

I removed my foot from her tummy and pointed my gun directly on her pubic bone

I was already squatting

Fedora : please Bad Boy don't do this to me. Think about our times. Think about the times we always bleeped

Me: don't worry, you won't miss me. Because you'll be fucking the devil in hell

I shot her and she screamed loudly with her eyes widened.

I stood up and shot her boobs

Me : make sure the devil sucks your boobs too

I turned around and walked out.

I saw that my car was completely burnt down and the bullet proof car was no longer there

Me: Ron, today is not your day yet.

I moved forward and called one of my cars. It traced my location using GPS and auto drove itself there within minutes. I hoped in and drove off

�Ro�n

How did he find us?

I always knew that Fedora is stupid. She is too free with Bad Boy. She doesn't know who he is

She takes him for granted

Why couldn't she just scan herself for any gadgets?

Why did she make everything so suspicious?

That bitch almost ruined our plans. Thank goodness Bad Boy didn't know on time.

He would have ruined our second plans too

Me: Kick! Are the explosives ready?

Kick: yes, there are already pitched in

Me: good, we set them up tonight

Kick: yes boss

�Rosa�

Well I'm back to the slums. This place sucks... Yuck!

I can't believe I'm no longer used to the place where I was born.

But it's better than Bad Boy's mansion. At least I have peace of mind here and I won't get jealous seeing two lovers having sex on the dinning table

But I feel a lot has changed here. Just few weeks that I left and I feel like a stranger. I don't even know what to do.

My bags are in a shop owned by my mom's only friend.

I told her I was coming back before going into the streets. I passed through the exact spot where I got shot and smiled.

Me: you're the reason why I'm limping

I walked round and came back to the shop when I became tired and hungry.

I took some water and drank then offered to help the lady sell her goods.

I stayed in that shop for hours until I couldn't take the hunger anymore. My tummy was grumbling.

Maybe I should go and pluck the pear at our former house. I'm sure the landlord will let me

I took permission from Mrs Han Woo and went to our former house.

The landlord was surprised to see me. He said I looked fresh and different.

I laughed and told him I got a job as a maid in a rich man's house. And that it was change of environment that made me look better than I was.

He smiled happily at me. I pretended as if I was going to see the people at the back but I was just thinking of the fruits.

I greeted them and plucked four ripe pears which I kept in a bag and left

When I arrived the shop, I hurriedly washed them and took one then hid the three in my bags to avoid sharing them

I began to consume the pear fruit like my whole life depended on it.

Is this what hunger feels like?

Gosh I almost forgot what hunger felt like just because of Bad Boy's mansion

�Bad Boy�

Me: whaaaat?

Leon: it's surprising why they had to attack that house. No one even knows it's yours and you hardly go there. Why were they so dump enough to bomb it?

My brain dropped to my feet. Fedora had told Ron about my house. And they ganged up against me to bomb it while I'm inside. She was the one who told them about that house

Thank goodness I didn't go there today, but I sent one of my men to park my car there and bring the second one.

Maybe they thought I was the one who drove in, that's why the house exploded at that very minute

And no one survived.

Jeez

I wonder how many things Fedora told them

I can't trust anyone ever again

I have to go and celebrate over a failed mission by Ron

I took my keys and stood up. I went to my car and wanted to start it when my eyes caught sight of a remote control

Wait

That is for a wheelchair

Oh no!

ROSA!!

�Ron�

Yes!

Bad Boy didn't survive it.

How would he survive it when it took him unexpected.

He was bombed immediately he drove in

Hahaha

He thinks it's wise to have a house where no one knows. He doesn't know that every man has a downfall.

I'm so happy

This calls for a celebration

�Rosa�

I woke up with pains in my neck. I had begged Mrs Han Woo to sleep in her constricted store because there was no place for me to spend the night.

I stood up

Me: good morning

I kissed my teddy and opened the door and window of the shop. I arranged the goods and swept the floor before going out to brush my teeth

I came back and wanted to eat my pear when she came.

I quickly tucked it back in and stood up

Me: good morning ma'am

I bowed and she touched my hair

Mrs Han : good morning Rosa. How are you doing

Me: I'm fine ma'am

Mrs Han : I hope you slept well

I nodded

Mrs Han : here, eat this. It's bread and milk

I took it and bowed

Me: thank you so much

I sat down to eat and she looked around the shop.

Mrs Han : I see you've set the goods. Thank you

I smiled and began to eat.

This milk is too light. Is this really milk?

The milk I took last was thicker and smoother and sweeter

�Bad Boy�

I threw the bottle of liquor on the wall and it shattered and fell into the heap of broken bottles on the floor

I took another bottle and opened the cover then gulped down all the content. I coughed and began to hit the table with my fist.

Leon: boss, you're killing yourself. You've heard three bottles already

Me: no..... It's four

Leon: four? That's enough boss

He pulled me up and took me to the cushion. I sat down and tried to open my eyes but the lights were really hurting my eyes

Leon: when did you start getting sad over a mere house? Did you keep something valuable in there?

Me: yes.... Rosa

Leon: what's Rosa?

I fell down from the cushion to the floor and closed my eyes

�Rosa�

It was midday on my third day in the slums

I walked through the streets to the mill so I could buy some flour for Mrs Han Woo.

I got to the mill and saw a group of girls talking and laughing

I looked aside and wished they could disappear

I sluggishly went towards the mill and they stopped talking and looked at me

Suddenly they started laughing

Nam Soo : hey! Rosa, why are you limping like a frog?

Mara : haha, she's bad luck you know, she got shot and taken away, the shock killed her mother, she was thrown out of the house they rented and she ran away the night of her mom's funeral. Because she was the cause of her death

They laughed and I got paralyzed.

So I was the reason why mom died?

She was shocked at the expense of my own accident and that shock led to her death

So I killed ama?

My tears began to flow.

I felt my knees weaken and I began to experience knee jerk.

I'm truly bad luck. That's what I am. Shouldn't I just kill myself? I'm so tired of living alone in this lonely life of mine

�Bad Boy�

I woke up the next morning like a normal person. I felt light and hungry.

I ate like never before and entered into a new car which will make it hard for me to be recognized

I want to go and visit Rosa's mom

And tender my condolences over Rosa. If only I knew what was going to happen, I wouldn't have allowed her to be in that house

I drove to that area and looked out at the people who, if they knew it was me would be running helter skelter.

I drove towards the cemetery through the local mill. There I saw a girl who looked like Rosa. I only saw her figure and not her face

I wanted to restart my car when I heard a girl calling Rosa. I winded the glass even lower and listened to them.

I heard everything they said and how it affected the girl who was already crying

She's Rosa. It has to be her.

I stepped down and ran to the girl who was about kneeling down. I grabbed her and held her to my self.

She began to cry even more, muttering the word mom

The four girls who were making jest of her froze. I angrily glared at them

They tried to run but I shot them all

Rosa screamed at the sound of the gun

She looked up at me with her teary eyes

Me: don't worry, I didn't kill them. I only shot their legs

�The Loverboys�
(Be my daughter's nanny)

Episode 6

By: Faith Lucky.

Jeanne's Pov:
Our eyes ran into each other and he just glanced at me and took his eyes back to his phone.

"I don't know anything about it" he said. "I didn't see anyone in the room".

My heart skipped immediately as I looked at him in disbelieve.

Hold on, did Alex just cover up for me?
like, did he just lie for my sake?

"Okay, sir Alex. Thanks a lot for your time. We apologise for the inconvenience" the woman said and left with the two men beside her.

I took my eyes away from Alex and starred down at my locker. The whole thing still seemed a dream to me.

Why did Alex lie to the woman? Did he really do that to protect me?
But he doesn't even know me. He barely looks at me.
Why did he cover up for me?
Oh, God!

I smiled, even if I tried not to.
My Alex defended me today.

Although it's possible he only did that because he was an introvert and didn't care about other people's issues, but it still meant a lot to me.

Or, could it be possible he doesn't recognise me?

I swear, my cheeks couldn't stop turning red the rest of the time.
The fact that my Alex defended me today still looked like a miracle to me.
How can I thank him enough?

Immediately the maths class was over, he stood up and left the class even before Mr Leonard did.
I looked at him as he walked away and when Mr Leonard finally left the class, the rest of the Loverboys also stood up and left.

Immediately, all the students started noistering and viewing all the pictures they had taken the Loverboys with their phones.

� Oh, my! Check out Carl's hairstyle. It's so pretty

� Yes did you see Alex? He was sitting next to the newbie

� Oh! How I wish I was the one

� look at Daniel's glasses

� Did you notice the ring Alex was putting on?
I looked at them and smiled.
The lover boys were such a celebrity. They're so lucky.

It was time for lunch and not really being hungry, I just bought some cupcakes and a canned drink from the canteen and looked for a quiet place to stay.
Luckily, I found an isolated place behind the school library and I sat on the floored ground.

I took a bite from my cup cake and drank from my canned drink.
I ate with relishment as I recalled the wonderful maths class.
How I wish we could take maths thrice a day.

I smiled as I recalled the moment when alex had walked into the class.
I remembered when he had touched my bag.
Oh, my bag!

I smiled and hugged it and kissed it.
From now on, this bag means a lot to me. I don't think I'm even going toto wash it.

I recalled the moment he had stared at me when the woman had asked him that question.
It was so beautiful.

Oh, Alex; when am I ever going to be so close to him again?

I opened my bag and brought out my song book and the 1st page I saw was the lyrics of one of my sad songs.
It was about my family.

Come to think of it; where are my family? Who could they be? Do I even have one?
Of course I do. Everyone has a family.
But, where could mine be?
And why didn't they show up when Mr Raymond had put me up on TV?
And why did I have to lose my memories four years ago?

But come to think of it; four years ago. That was the same year the loverboys had a conflict and Theo left the band.
Wow!
Quite a coincidence.

I turned to the next page and it was still about my family.
I looked at it and started singing it out.

� What if I have a family?
Somewhere beyond the sea?
Could there be someone there missing me?

� I need to know these answers
I need to find my way...�

"That's from Barbie, right?" I heard a tiny sweet voice ask and I turned curiously and found a young, pretty kid standing in front of me.
Huh?
Who's she?

"The song- it's from barbie right?" She asked as she drew close and stood in front of me.
She was actually smiling.
"Uhm...yes." I replied perfunctorily, taking a good look at her and trying to figure who she was.
She was very pretty and had her long hair parked into two.
She had a toy with her and looked quite rich and I figured maybe...she was a sister to one of the students.

"Oh, my God! You also love barbie? My friends always tell me she's outdated and it kind of makes angry. But it seems I've found someone else who's like me" she said happily and I just kept staring at her.

She seemed very bold and confident.

"And you have a nice voice" she added and I smiled.
"Thanks" I replied and she nodded happily.

"By the way, do you know any more of barbie songs?" She asked.
"Uhm...yes. A little".

"Oh! Could you sing more to me, please? I really love listening to her songs. Too bad I don't know how to sing. And my brother's always too busy to help me out."

Oh; so she does have a brother?

"Could you sing for me, please?" She said in an appealing tone.

"Uh...maybe. but right now, I'm eating..."
"I'll wait" she cut in immediately and I scoffed.
Where does this kid come from?

I took up my cupcake Nd ate from it and she stared at me.

"Want some?" I asked and she nodded after a little reluctancy.
Then I fed some of the cupcakes to her and cleaned off the little particles that fell on her lips.
She smiled.

"Uhm...by the way, who are you? Are you here with someone?" I asked and she pulled a surprised face.

"You seriously don't know me?" She asked and I shrugged.
Am I supposed to know her?

But I must say, she kind looks familiar.

"Did you...."
"Molly!" I heard someone call and I looked and saw a woman walking towards my direction with two armed men.

"Oh, my God, molly! What re you doing here? You made me worried again." She said as she took the little girl beside me.

Wait,
Oh, my God! It was Mrs Tristan - Alex's mum.

What?

I sprang on my feet immediately and the canned drink I held spilled on the floor.

"I'm sorry, mum. I was just taking a look around" the little girl replied and my eyes beamed.

What? She's Alex's sister! The one I've heard about.
No wonder she looked so rich and bold. She was just like her brother.

"And what re you eating?" Mrs Tristan asked after observing her lips and then she looked at me.
My legs were almost shaking.
I have standing in front of the loverboys mum.

"G...Good day, ma'am" I stuttered nervously, keeping my gaze low.

"And who are you?" She asked inquisitively.
"She's a nice person, mum" Molly replied immediately.

"She has a nice voice and also loves barbie."

Mrs Tristan scoffed and looked surprised and at the same time, bemused.

"Did...did you just say she's a nice person? Like...do you like her, Molly?" She asked and molly nodded excitedly.

Then she exhaled and looked at me.


"What's your name?' She asked.
"Uhm. ..miss Jeanne, ma'am" I replied with a little bow.

"Jeanne" she called softly.
"I can't believe my daughter likes you. Believe me, it's rare.
It's really not been easy on me- managing my business and taking care of her. She's gone missing several times. And last time, and had all most fallen into a ditch.

"My son is always very busy and doesn't have time for himself, not to mention taking care of his sister."
She paused and looked at Molly.

"Baby, would you like her to be your new nanny?" She asked and my heart skipped.
My eyes dilated.
Huh?

"Well...I don't know. But I really do like her" molly replied and Mrs Tristan looked back at me, her eyes beaming.

"Oh, Jeanne, would you consider being my daughter's nanny, please? Please, I beg of you. I'll do anything you ask for" she said pleadingly, placing her two palms together.

okay; this has got to be a dream.

Is this really happening?
Like, Mrs Tristan's asking me to become her daughter's nanny and...and that'd mean for me to start living in the loverboys mansion?

Oh, God!

Whaaaat?

� The Loverboys
(What happened to them?)

Episode 5

By: Faith Lucky.

Jeanne's Pov:
My cheeks turned red immediately and my eyes beamed.
The Loverboys are here!
They fulfilled my wish.

Wait, hold on; where's Alex?
Yes, where's Alex?

I mean, he's not with them.
The only Loverboys I can see are Carl, Daniel and Malcolm.

Where's Alex?
Oh God!
Don't tell me he's not coming.

I watched despondently as the three Loverboys took separate seats and oh, my; they're so cute.
They were so charming and dreamy, just that my Alex was still unbeatable.
But where's he?

"Uhm...miss Jeanne" Mr Leonard called and pointed to the board and I understood he wanted me to continue with the equation.

I became sad as the thought of not seeing Alex niggled at me.

I was about turning around when I saw a young dazzling masculine figure entering into the class.

I left my mouth open as a gasp escaped it.

Oh, my God; it was Alex!
Alex!
The leader of the Loverboys; my crush!

Oh, my God!
He really did come!

I stood motionless as I watched him walk into the class, looking all broody.

He had so many jewelleries and was heavenly cute. Even a blind man would trip for him.

He was so stylish; even with the way he walked.

Can someone really be this perfect?
I mean, so rich, crazily handsome, stylish, famous and all that.

He was just too cute; too cute that I feel there's no one else like him.

Oh, my Alex.

I watched him as he ran his fingers into his hair and looked around for a seat.
Then, Holy Mary, he took my seat!

I mean, yes!
He picked up my bag from the locker and kept it on the next seat which was vacant and then, he took my seat.

Oh, my God!
Alex just touched my bag.
Am I day dreaming or what?

I'm definitely going to take that bag to the museum.

"Haven't I warned you all to switch off your phones?" Mr Leonard asked, referring to the students that were already taking pictures of the Loverboys with their phones.
They giggled and switched it off.

"Miss Jeanne" he called and I shrugged out of my thoughts and turned back to the board.
I tried focusing on the equation and prayed I don't end up writing Alex's name on the board.

In less than two minutes, I saw done and handed the marker to Mr loenard.
He went through the equation for a short time and released a light smile.

"Wow! That's correct. Quite impressive" he said and I felt my head becoming two.

Oh, Alex did you see that?
I was able to solve the equation.

"Thank you sir" I said to Mr Leonard and tired going back to my seat.

Oh-oh
My seat; Alex was already there.

Oh, God! What do I do now?

But the next seat was vacant.
Hold on; doss this mean I'm going to have to sit next to Alex?

I noticed some of the students were now staring at me as they also wanted to know what would happen.
Oh, God!

And Alex wasn't even staring at me or anyone. He just leaned on the chair and starred outside. He probably had no idea what was going on.

I walked slowly to the row and stood in front of him. But he didn't even turn to look at me.

Wait; what if he recognises me as the lady he had seen in that store the previous day?

I quietly took my books from the locker and moved on to the next sea where my bag had already been kept.
He still didn't make an attempt to look at me; like I was just invisible or something.

I sat on my 'new' locker and sighed nervously.
Wow!
I really can't believe I'm sitting next to Alex.

The maths teacher continued teaching but I swear, my attention was so not there.
All I could think about was the lovervoy sitting next to me.

There was a particular fragrance that came from him and it was so sweet. I wonder what body spray be used. I'm sure one of it could buy a house.

I noticed the jewelries on him. They looked expensive and glittered like they were made of gold.

He had one on his ear, then three on his wrist and a long gold chain. And I also noticed he had a tattoo on his hand.

Wow!
This boy's really something else.

I looked down at his shoes and noticed they were designers. It was the latest fad in the country.
Everything about him was so classic and expensive.
Too bad I couldn't really look at his face because he'd have caught me staring and might angrily move to another seat.
I don't want that to happen.

He didn't even come with a book or pen. The only things I saw him with were three big phones and car keys.

He kept staring through the window but after some time, he opened one of his phones and started operating it.

I tried to have a peep at what he was doing and noticed he was just viewing pictures of clothes, shoes, jewelries.
Like seriously?

He's not even interested in the class. And he's also not interested in me.

I wonder what really happened that changed him this way.

"Switch off your phones, Alex." Mr Leonard said and all eyes turned to him - Alex.
Oh-oh.

I also turned and looked at him. I mean, everyone was staring at him. So, this was an opportunity.

I looked at him and...wow! Look at his spotless face. This was the first time I was viewing him from such a close range.
Where do you come from, Mr?

"Mr Leo, I listen with my ears, not my eyes" he replied churlishly and few of the students chuckled.

Oh, my God; is he this rude?

Mr Leonard looked angry, but just when he was about saying something, three people walked into the class - two men and one woman.

The students started mumbling as they all wondered why they were there.

They walked up to Mr Leonard and made a silent conversation with him and afterwards, they came up to my locker; no, not my locker; but Alex's locker.
Huh?
Who are they?

"Sorry for the disturbance, sir Alex; but we have a little question for you:" the woman among them said and Alex just glanced at her and took his eyes back to his phone.

"Uhm...Some very vital items have gone missing from the storage room you had made use of yesterday while practicing on your keyboard. So, we jus wanted to know if you might have any idea about it" the woman said and my heart gave a mighty leap.

what? Some vital items were stolen?

But how come she's questioning Alex? I was in the room with him.

Alex scoffed and looked at her.

"Hold on; are you trying to accuse me of something?" He asked.

"No, no, no sir Alex. Please don't misunderstand us. Of course you can never do such a thing. It's unimaginable.
We just want to know if there was someone else with you at that moment. Or, if you had seen someone else entering or leaving the room" the woman said and my eyes dilated.

Oh, God!
This is not happening.

I...I was the only one with Alex in that room. And.. he had seen my face.
But I didn't take anything. I didn't.

My heart was beating so fast.

Alex suddenly turned and looked at me and I felt my breath becoming still.

Jesus, no. This is not happening.
Is he really going to call my name?

But I didn't do it.

�The Vipers Girl �

By Hossana Isaac O.

(Hossy Korean Series)

Chapter 6

______________________________________________________________________

�Bad Boy�

I left Rosa sitting on the car and turned to face Fedora fully

Me: I thought you said you were going somewhere? Why aren't you there, and how did you get here?

She turned her gaze to me

Fedora : I got another call that the meeting wouldn't hold so I returned to the hotel only to see your car leaving. So I just followed you

She moved closer to me

Me: okay, but you should have called me

She kissed me and wrapped her arms around me. Her eyes moved to Rosa then back to me

Fedora : sorry, so you actually have a house here. And you didn't tell me you had another lady here

Me: let's go back to the hotel

Fedora : no, let's just go inside. What's the need of going to a hotel when there's a huge house?

Me: no, we can't stay here

She frowned and removed her arms from my shoulders

Fedora : why? Is it because of her? Are you having an affair with her?

Whoa!

Why is Fedora suddenly acted too serious?

Since when did she care about my affairs

Sometimes, she even used to watch me having sex with other girls and she'll be laughing and making fun of them. Since she's the expert

Rosa jumped down from the car then muttered 'ouch'

I guess her leg hurt her a little

Rosa: we're not having any affair. You guys can stay here. I promise not to disturb. Good night

She held her teddy bear and walked away slowly. Fedora's eyes followed her suspiciously

Fedora : Bad Boy, there's something fishy about that girl. Who is she?

Me: can't talk about her now.

I carried her and sat her down on the car. I removed her jacket and made my way to her body

_____________

�Rosa�

Hmm

Bad Boy has a girlfriend

And I didn't know

If I knew, I would have left a long time ago. I don't want to cause problems for anybody. And I don't think that girl is going to like me at all. She looks so evil with those tattoos and piercings

Like a Korean witch �

I went straight to my room and sat on my bed.

I played with my Teddy's nose and kissed it repeatedly

My tummy began to grumble

Me: I need something to eat again

I stood up and walked downstairs to the kitchen. On getting there, I saw a terrible scene

Bad Boy having his girlfriend right on the dinning table

I quickly removed my eyes and entered the kitchen.

Gosh, why would they do such a thing.

And isn't that supposed to be private

Why does it have to be the dinning room, and the table of all places?

I grabbed some short cakes and some milk then tiptoed out of the kitchen. I was still limping and was very slow in walking

I took a glance at the table and they were still in their dirty business. The sounds Fedora was making were deafening.

Aren't they even ashamed of the maids or workers?

I hurriedly climbed the stairs though I was slow and the things in my hands didn't let me walk fast enough in case it will fall or spill

I finally got to the end of the stairs and took the turn to my room

I almost fell when I saw Fedora standing in front of me

I screamed and staggered a little

Fedora : hahahaha, are you that clumsy and scared easily?

I balanced myself and stared at her with the plate of cakes in my right hand and the glass of milk in my left

Fedora : how do you like your stay here?

I didn't answer her

Fedora : you know, you should definitely leave anytime soon. I'm just warning you against Bad Boy

Me: I don't understand

Fedora : Bad Boy is wanted all over and whosoever mingles with him is wanted too

Me: so you're wanted?

She laughed

Fedora : I'm just warning you because you're so innocent and inexperienced. And not a word of this discussion to Bad Boy

She glared at me sternly and I nodded. She smiled and took one of my cakes

Fedora : bye

She walked away

My eyes followed her down the stairs.

I gulped and went into my room.

I heard her words in my head again

�Bad Boy is wanted all over and whosoever mingles with him is wanted too�

I sat on my bed and suddenly gained maximum appetite

Unlike other people who loose appetite when they're sad, depressed or angry... I gain maximum appetite instead

I begin to eat like a glutton so within a few minutes I had already consumed nine cakes and my glass was already empty

I climbed the bed and hugged my teddy bear

Me: maybe I should even run away and be safe because I'm really scared

_____________

�Fedora�

I tossed my head to the right and closed my eyes as Bad Boy was moving in and out of me

I opened my eyes and saw the girl sneaking into the kitchen

I smirked and held unto Bad Boy's shirt

Few minutes later, I saw her leaving the kitchen

Just then Bad Boy released

He pulled out and gave me that evil grin of his. I sat up and kissed him

Me: let me go upstairs and change

He kissed me and I got off the table which was already in disarray

I hurriedly moved into the elevator and went to stand over the stairs because I know she took the stairs

She eventually came up and I confronted her and told her to leave

Not because I care about her existence in this house but because I don't want her in my business

____________

�Bad Boy�

I lighted a cigarette and sat in the living room watching TV.

The show was on music talks and all those stuff

I saw the maids arranging the dinning area and one of them was glancing lustfully at me

I smirked and faced the TV.

By the way where is Rosa?

Is she asleep already?

I stood up to go upstairs but Fedora came back and pushed me down

Fedora : where are you going? To go get me?

Me: uhh

She sat down on my legs and cuddled me

Fedora : tell me about your recent activities

Me: which one exactly?

Fedora : everything

Me: well I kidnapped the president's daughter

Fedora : I know

Me: and I smuggled in weapons for your dad

Fedora : I know that too

Me: I threatened to throw a bomb blast

Fedora : I know...

Me: then what do you still want me to tell you?

Fedora : OK, just tell me what next you are going to do

I pushed her away and stood up then went to the bar

I poured myself a drink and took it one shot

She stood up and walked to me

Fedora : you're not gonna answer me?

Me: I wanna lay low for now. I don't intend on doing anything yet

I kissed her lips and then poured myself another glass of wine

Fedora : okay baby

We went to the cushion and began to handle each other

A maid came in and immediately turned back when she saw us

We laughed and continued with each other

______________

�Rosa�

I woke up the next morning and went down for breakfast. I had breakfast alone and I was glad because I didn't want to see Fedora again

I went back upstairs and changed into something casual. I wanted going outside when I saw Bad Boy and Fedora walking down the hallway

I went back into my room and sat down.

I began to feel really bored with nothing to do

I checked through the window and looked down at the cars and everything including the workers

I was getting a little bit entertained but I frowned when the two lovers walked hand in hand to a car

I felt a little bit angry

Why do I have to see them all the time?

And Bad Boy doesn't even remember I exist anymore

Do they love each other that much that they're always together?

I went downstairs when their car drove out. I turned on the TV and watched for about two hours

Then I got up again and went outside the house for the first time in about three weeks.

It took me a few minutes to convince the security guard that I was just going a few metres away from the vicinity

I looked around and saw that they were other houses around with similar designs and looks.

I don't think they know that Bad Boy is living with them

Anyway, according to that maid she said he hardly visited the house.

Me: so it's because of me he now lives here?

I looked back at the house and smiled a little before going further.

______________

�Bad Boy�

There's something weird about Fedora these days. She's a little bit withdrawn and hiding some things

And she asks too much questions lately. It's also mainly about my activities

There's something she's up to. It's high time I become the viper that I am. As wise as a serpent

____________

�Fedora�

Me: I'm going to see Dad. Will be back later

Bad Boy : what time?

Me: I'll just call you anytime I'm coming. Where will you wait for me?

Bad Boy : here

Me: aren't you tired of this hotel room?

Bad Boy : no, I've got other work to do

I kissed his cheek.

Me: bye bye

I walked out and took my car to a casino to meet someone who's not my dad

I moved to the inner room and saw him sitting down with a class of beer � in front of him

He stretched his arm and I moved to him

He kissed my neck and I giggled

Man: so any news?

Me: no, but we can take action anytime soon

Man: I can't wait to see him down

I unbuttoned my shirt and modeled myself for him. He gladly took me up to a bed and fully removed my dress

____________

�Rosa�

I waited to see if they would come back but they didn't come back that night

Not that I want to see them, but I just want to see Bad Boy

I admit it, I kinda miss him. Especially when he's drunk

The next morning, I saw strange movements outside the house. The men were looking strange and it seemed as if they were monitoring

I got scared and went back inside. I felt like calling Bad Boy to ask if it was his boys but I didn't because I didn't have his number

I felt uneasy when the movements were getting too suspicious

I went into my room and packed my bags

_____________

�Bad Boy�

Fedora is going out again. This time I'm going to find out where's she is always going because I know she doesn't know much people around here

I planted a chip in her dress that would record everything being said

She left and minutes later, I heard voices in my computer. I listened and found out that she was working against me

I got so angry that I almost threw the computer away

I searched for the location of the voices and grinned

I took my gun and moved out

Me: RIP Fedora!

Episode 85 contd

Unknown Location, Bethanna.

Samantha opened her eyes to find herself in the most unusual fashion. She was on her toes and her body was inclined towards the floor but something held her suspended not letting her get to the ground. Her hands were spread out and her feet was also spread out. She was at the center of two metal poles, the chains fastened on her wrists and her ankles were connected to the poles. A wall was few centimetres behind the poles.

The room was dark and one could barely see what was around. The only source of light on the room was the reflected ray through the window from a bulb outside. It was so silent.

She groaned as she stood up straight, her wrists and ankles were hurting from the strain effect of the inclined position she had been while unconscious. She looked around the room, trying to remember how she got there. She saw the shape of a man some metres by the left hand side inclined towards the ground just like she was previously. She could hear his loud soft breathing in the silent room.

She wondered who it was for a moment before she realized it must be Wilson. Then she remembered how they were abducted on the Bexford-Kala road.

FLASH BACK

Seven Hours Ago

"What's happening?" Samantha poked her head through the window of the vehicle to check what was happening at the front.

There was a queue of about ten cars in front at both lanes, the return direction side was free and moving smoothly.

"There are some police officers in front," the driver in the car beside theirs replied her. He was alone in the car.

"I thought this road was an expressway, what's the police doing here?" Samantha asked rhetorically.

"Well, I've never come across police officers here too, it's my first time." the other man shrugged.

Samantha leaned back and let out a breath. She looked at Wilson who was sitting at the passenger's side. He had paused the game he was playing with his device and was now looking out through the other side.

The journey had been smooth until they got there and now from the little view she had of the front, it seemed the officer were interviewing the motorists one after the other.

It moved slowly and after ten minutes, their vehicle was the second on the queue. Samantha watched as they checked the driver's certificates and the car information of the car in front. Luckily for her, she was with her driver's license and the vehicle documents were in the car. She took them out, ready to give the officers on request.

The police officers were however much more than she expected, all ten in number. She thought five was already too much for a road block.

The vehicle in front zoomed off after being freed by the officers. Samantha moved the car slowly and stopped right before the officers.

"Your papers ma'am," a police man asked her.

She stretched forth the whole documents to him and placed her eyes on him while he went through it very slowly. She was still wondering why it was so slow when she noticed that almost all the officers had their attention on their car and even the officers checking the other lane had moved to them and were surrounding their vehicle.

"Move to that side ma'am," the officer with the papers directed her to the curb behind where the police vehicle itself was parked.

"Why?" Samantha frowned at him. "The vehicle documents are completed and my license has just been renewed recently."

"Park well madam to avoid delaying other vehicle users, we have some questions for you to answer."

Samantha was baffled and she stared at the officer's face for a while before obeying the instruction. She again noticed all the officers moving with the vehicle and non staying to check the other vehicles coming from behind. The other vehicles began to move freely without being interviewed. Her suspicions grew.

"Step out madam," the officer with the papers ordered her.

She didn't get up immediately. She hoped there would be no thorough search of the car because they were sure to find guns hidden under the backseat. She thought of pulling out the pistol under her seat and going out with it but all eyes of the police men were on her and they would notice if she pulled out anything. Almost all of them also had their guns ready in their hands and would possibly shoot at her before she could do anything with the gun.

She turned off the car engine and stepped out calmly. The man with the document had gone to wait for her behind the police bus, holding the documents with him and showing to another one.

She walked towards them calmly and noticed three other officers with their guns readied in their hands moving with her. She looked towards the road again and saw that everything had gone back to normal and all the officers were focused on them.

"This vehicle was used for crime in Bexford few days ago," an officer said as Samantha got to his front.

"This vehicle has never gotten to Bexford," Samantha replied sharply. "It was purchased in Vincil and has never been driven to Bexford."

The officers stared at her blankly. The man who was trying to accuse her concealed a smile. She was smart and was showing it, he thought.

Samantha knew already that it was more than just a road check, they were targeted but the reason for being targeted was what she didn't know.

"You'd have to explain yourself at our station," the officer said.

Samantha looked around with the side eye, about six of the men were surrounding her holding their guns and two were in front of her. They were at a safe distance from her and she couldn't try to snatch a gun from any of them successfully.

"I'm not going with you to your station," she argued stubbornly. "You do not have enough reasons for me to come with you."

"You want reasons?" The officer blared at her widening his eyes. He took out his pistol and pointed at her face. Another officer stepped closer to her from behind and pointed his long gun at her, slowly putting mouth to the back of her head.

"What's happening?" Wilson shouted as he stepped out of the car.

Samantha had thought they would get distracted and look towards Wilson and she was hoping to use the opportunity to make a move but she was surprised as none of them gave Wilson attention. She saw the officer near the car grab Wilson by the collar and hit the butt of the gun on his head. Wilson fainted.

She widened her eyes and mouth in surprise and before she make any reaction. A gas was sprayed to her face and the back of her head was struck with a gun at the same time. She blacked out.

PRESENT

She couldn't tell how many hours she had blacked out for but she was damn sure that they were not in the police station. She doubted if the men at the road were police officers.

Few minutes after she woke up, she began to hear footsteps approaching the place. Soon, the door opened and she saw the legs of three men walking in. The door was closed at the same time the light was turned on.

Samantha could now see the faces of the men. They were totally different from the police officers on the road.

The men moved closer to them. The one at the center had a distinct look and seemed to be the boss among them. The other two flanging him at both sides were putting on black plain shirts on black trousers while the man at the center had white top on white trousers. He had a smooth shaven hair.

"Brave girl," the man on white said with a evil grin. "I heard you gave the officers a lot of problem."

Samantha was quiet.

The man stepped closer, leaving only one metre space between them.

"I'm really sorry that someone as brave as you is put in this condition," Hutton said, his eyes moving slowly from her chained wrists to her legs. He had look of pitiful mockery on his face. "But you know, we have to do what we have to do."

He stopped for a moment and kept his face straight, staring directly into her eyes.

"We know you work for Carl Winston, we only need some few information about him from you and we'd let you have your freedom. I hope you'd cooperate with us," he said and took a step closer. She stared back into his eyes without saying anything. He took another short step closer. "Would you?"

She stared and him for a second and slowly shook his head to give a No.

He smiled lightly and touched her left cheek softly with his fingers. "Brave girl," he said scornfully.

She moved her face away from his hand.

He smiled briefly again, he took two steps backward. "I like the fact that you are brave but you see, everybody has a price, everybody has a yielding point. Which one would you like? To be paid with your freedom for giving us what we want or to be forced with unbearable pains to give us what we need?"

He stared her in the eyes and she stared back unblinking. He waited seconds for her reply but got none. He felt angry and opened his hand to the right. The man on his right pulled over a rod to him.

"Take her down," Hutton said to the men. He took some steps back and watched them.

They walked closer to her and unlocked the chains from the poles at both sides, leaving the other side still attached to her hands and legs.

She felt so weak as she stepped forward slowly, the effect of the gas sprayed was still on her. She moved closer to Hutton and tried to swing a blow to his face with the chain in her hand but he dodged easily. She tried again with the other hand and he swerved to the other side and wiped her on the back with the rod in his hand.

She fell weakly on her knees with a loud groan.

They heard someone else grunt loudly, Wilson was also awake but yet to know where he was.

Lion's Club, El Deols

Anthanna.

10:53PM

"Hey! I heard you wanna see me," a man appeared from one of the inner rooms to meet Dan.

"Yeah, good evening. I'm a personal investigator all the way from Bethanna and I've come here for an investigation."

"Yeah, I was briefed about that but hope you know this place is a legal organization?"

"Yeah, that's not it. I'm actually here in respect of some men from Bethanna who visited here two times in March, they had meetings with an individual or group of individuals here."

"Well, a lot of people come here and we don't ask for their nationality, so how do I help you?"

"I need your permission to proceed with asking questions around, I need to find out who those men come to meet here."

"But it's working hours already, why didn't you come earlier?"

"Well, I had some issues. What can you do for me please?"

"Please come tomorrow, our workers are so busy now."

_

Cole checked his time as he took another sip from the glass. He took out his device and opened his voice cloning app. He selected the effect he needed before switching to another app where he copied a phone number from.

"Hey Francis," he said into the phone.

"Hey! Who am I speaking with?"

"I've got a package from Mr Moses to give you, I'll be dropping it in the corridor to the male restroom."

"What package is that?"

"It's in a black carton, you'd find it where I just said," Cole replied and ended the call. He drank the remaining wine from the bottle and got up from his seat. He walked back and checked for Florence where he had seen her sitting, she was no longer there. He continued to do his own work.

Cole stood in front of the mirror in the male restroom with his trousers pulled to his knee, acting drunk. He had a bottle of beer in his armpit and he was struggling with the lace of his boxers. Someone entered and passed beside him, walking straight to where he kept the black carton. He knew at once that the man was sent by Francis.

The man picked the carton and proceeded back out immediately. Cole quickly pulled up his trousers and took out his phone. He opened his tracking app and began to use the direction from the tracker to follow the man.

He followed the man far away from the main building of the club, to the executive parking space where Francis and his friends had their car parked. He hid under the shadow of a bus and watched the man who had picked the carton give Francis.

Francis did not bother to check the content yet, he placed it under his armpit and picked a call on his phone.

"A minute please, Francis said to the other men who were gathered in the garage, all of them in front of their cars but still discussing some matters. He walked away from the gathering and took the route towards the back of the club house main building.

Cole followed him with his eyes. He thought of following him but began to reason it, he already had a tracker with Francis and would be able to follow Francis to wherever he was headed to and would have enough time with him. He remained on the same spot for some seconds but he was inquisitive and wanted to know what Francis went to do inside the building again but he decided to control himself and wait.

He checked his tracking app and saw that Francis had stopped moving, like he had stopped at the back of the building. He waited ten more minutes and Francis was not yet back. He concluded in his mind that Francis was meeting with someone else there. He rose out of his hiding place and turned carefully, walking to the space he parked the vehicle he rented. He was going to wait inside until Francis was ready to move and he would follow.

He got into his car and waited for another ten minutes without Francis moving from the spot. He had a reconsideration and decided to step out again to check if Francis had left already but dropped his box at the back the building. As he opened the door to step out, he saw someone and paused. It was Florence and she was walking to a car hurriedly.

He watched her stop before his place by the side of a Venza. She got into the car and drove off in a minute.

He stepped out of his car and watched as she drove off. His eyes followed the car until it got to the gate. He was about to turn when he saw something where her car was previously parked. He squinted. It looked like the carton he had just given to Francis.

He took some few steps closer and it looked more like it. He got to the spot to confirm it was the same carton, only that the content had been removed.

He widened his mouth in shock. Could it be that Florence was the one Francis went to meet at the back? What was their relationship with each other and what was the empty carton doing in Florence's hand? He asked himself.

He dropped the carton and turned immediately, he refreshed the tracker app as he hurried towards the VIP parking section. The app refreshed and he saw Francis still in the same position.

He saw some kind of confusion and men running about, some pulling out guns as he got closer to the place. He began to walk into the shadows as he drew closer to catch a glimpse of what was happening.

"He's dead already," he heard someone say to another.

"Who could have killed Francis?" he heard another say.

He widened his eyes in shock. Florence!

Restless - Episode 85

® 18+ SNVL
© Oyinloye Oluwatosin Emmanuel

"What happened on the Bexford-Kala road?" Henry asked.

"I can't find footages of whatever happened there, I only see the dumped car." Dave replied.

"Give me a minute to think, I'll call you back." Henry heaved a sigh of frustration. He wondered what could have happened to Samantha and Wilson. He was sure it wasn't that the vehicle developed any fault, if that was the case, Samantha would have reached out to them and found a way for she and Wilson to continue the journey. Something must have happened to them but he wondered what it could be.

A kidnap was the only thing coming to his mind, it was the most possible case. And thinking about who could have kidnapped even Samantha successfully made Henry realize it was indeed an organized and well skilled set of kidnappers.

He had no other suspects in his mind apart from the Red Wolves. That meant something more dangerous than the kidnap to Henry, it meant that the Red Wolves have been trailing him.

But how was that? He asked himself. An answer came immediately. It could have only been through his visit to Rex. It meant they knew Rex was still alive and where he had been all the while and they probably let him be because of his disability.

Another thought came to his mind. Could it be that the Wolves had left Rex alive to set him up? He shook his head and closed his eyes lightly. He remembered his time with Rex the day before, how Rex had responded to him with the blinking of his eyes. Ovil Matuse had later explained to him that Rex communicated consent or disagreement with blinking of his eyes. Rex had blinked twice when he said he was going to find a way to treat him and that meant he strongly disagreed according to Ovil's explanation.

He covered his lips with both palms and let out hot air from his mouth. Rex must have known the Red Wolves were watching him and that was the reason for his disagreement.

"Damn it!" he cursed as he clenched his fists. He had been mistaken to think Rex had covered all tracks through the help of Wilson but now he remembered that how Wilson had explained how he took Rex from the bottom of the rock. It was now clear to him that the Red Wolves probably never left after Rex fell from the Oso rock, they must have seen him helping Rex. And maybe they never knew where Rex was taken until he against all warnings from Wilson and Tanko chosen to still go ahead to look for his friend. Maybe they trailed him through Wilson to Kebba.

Maybe he should have listened to them and forget about looking for Rex till the end of his mission? He thought. But that could not have been possible, after getting the clue that Rex was alive, there was no way he could have proceeded on the mission without locating him. It was also evident that Rex needed his help badly at the moment, and he could not dare to leave his friend at the time of need.

So many thoughts and uncertainties in his mind and he could not come to a conclusion on how he was being tracked or how they knew where Rex was. The only thing he knew for sure was that his team was no longer safe and even Rex was no safe too. He needed to do two things quickly, find Samantha and Wilson and also move Rex to safety. A big challenge it was to him.

He was in Anthanna and there was no way he could hack into Bethanna's CCTV history to see if he could recover deleted files and Cole who could do the job too was also in Anthanna. He needed to do something quick.

He picked up his phone and dialed Dave's number again.

"Hey Dave, you and Jenny should find a way to get Wilson's sister. Take and the doctor with you guys and move to a safe place quick, make sure no one tracks you." He instructed Dave.

He ended the call and thought of calling Cole too but he didn't so as not to distract Cole from his present task and because it was less possible for Cole to be also tracked because he had not had any contact with Wilson or Rex, whether direct or indirect.

He began to think of what next to do. He could not even involve Sheila in helping Rex again, it had become more dangerous to do so. The only option that came to his mind was temporarily taking Rex into custody to be treated by Doctor Alan. How to get Rex from Ovil Matuse peacefully was another challenge, he had to find a way to convince Ovil or he would have to do it by force.

Another thought popped up in his mind and he closed his eyes. If the Wolves had been tracking them from Kebba, then they must have probably seen him drop off before the rotary intersection at the border. He tried to figure out his movement from there and felt relieved that he took necessary precautions. The Wolves would have only known he dropped but never knew where he went from there but then he had a weak link who could give out the information. That was Wilson, Wilson had known he was preparing to visit Bethanna but never knew what he was going there for him.

He took in a deep breath. His mission had just taken a new dimension. If the Red Wolves now knew he was alive, he thought there was no need hiding his identity from them anymore. It had now become like a game.

He had played his part well, putting every tactics necessary to win the game in place but the Red Wolves were also smart and were making use of a very good strategy against him - Rex. They knew he would never be willing to watch Rex suffer or die, so he was kept alive and used as a bait for him. He had no option than to conclude in his mind that whoever was behind the Red Wolves thinking team was really intelligent.

"Hey man," Henry called to the cab driver in a sharp tone. "Sorry, you got to take me back to Hex Hotel."

He picked his phone and dialed Dave again.

"Hey Dave, send me cache of the cctv you have already. I'm going to be logging in using your IP address," Henry said. He was going back to Cole's hotel room to use his laptop.

______

Cole watched her silently from where he was. She balanced herself comfortably on the sofa without making any order, she took out a device from the jacket pocket and took some time to work on it. After a while, she received a call on her phone and spoke for few minutes. She ordered for a drink after the call.

Cole wasn't sure of what to think of her. She said she came to Anthanna to visit her boyfriend but her appearance that night was suspicious. She was alone and she wasn't looking like someone waiting for her boyfriend.

"Hey Handsome, won't you take some time to check me out?" A lady said in a soothing voice, twisting seductively iin front of him with her tongue licking a finger.

He glanced at her and stepped away from the floor. He walked back to the place he was previously sitting at the bar.

The Vipers Girl

By Hossana Isaac O.

(Hossy Korean Series)

Chapter 5


Rosa

I tossed and turned in bed. Waiting for Bad Boy to return with my teddy. I sat up and played with the hem of my nightie. I laid down again and covered my face with my palms.

Me: come already. I'm feeling sleepy!

I frowned and tried to cover my eyes but the lights were still on so I opened them again.

I looked at the door expecting it to open but it didn't. I sighed and covered my face with a pillow then closed my eyes

________

Bad Boy

I climbed up the stairs with the teddy in my left arm. I think I spent about thirty minutes in the living room.

I opened the door to her room and saw her figure on the bed

I moved to her and a pillow was covering her face

Her nightie didn't cover her well, her thighs were exposed

I squatted down and ran my fingers on her thigh, close to the spot where the bullet hit her. It was almost healed up, she should be able to limp now.

As a bad boy, I rubbed my full hand on her smooth white thighs. I smirked and squeeze it.

I guess she felt it because she adjusted her legs and covered herself properly. I cracked and stood up, tucked the teddy under her arm and covered her with the duvet. I turned off the lights and left the room

I got to my room and met a message on my system, telling me that the house I was supposed to spend the night before I changed my mind caught fire. The men inside died and some were badly injured

I wasn't totally surprised. I knew that Ron was unto me again

Me: I don't have your time now. But I'll definitely teach you a lesson

___________

Ron

Me: what! What do you mean by that?

Kick: we're sorry boss, but Bad Boy wasn't involved in the fire

Me: how? How could he dodge it?

Kick: boss, before you sent us on this mission, I told you that it wouldn't work because Bad Boy can't just be defeated by little means. He's more dangerous than you think

I clenched my fist

Me: so what do we do now?

Kick: I suggest we wait for an opportunity sir. I hope you know that Bi-ryeom is our inside man now?

Me: yes, I know. Tell him immediately that he should give us every single detail about Bad Boy

Kick: yes boss

He bowed and left

I sat down and felt intense jealousy and hatred in me

__________

Rosa

I opened my eyes and inhaled the sweet morning air. I sat up and yawned

Me: good morning

I smiled and looked down. I saw the teddy bear and smiled brightly. I took it and kissed it

Me: good morning teddy

Bad Boy must have brought it while I was asleep

I closed my eyes to say my prayers

Me: Lord, thank you for waking me up this morning. I pray that you will make my day beautiful to your glory, in Jesus name Amen

I opened my eyes and took my crutches then stood up. I went to the bathroom and washed up then went downstairs.

When I reached the entrance of the kitchen, I was greeted by a sweet tasty smell of food

I turned to the dinning and entered in. I saw Bad Boy eating, he was wearing black pyjamas. I stood gawking at him. He looked up and saw me

Bad Boy : hey princess

My eyes widened

Bad Boy : why are you just standing there? Come on let's eat

I swallowed a lump in my throat and walked to the table. I sat down and bowed

Me: good morning sir

Bad Boy : come on, eat

I nodded and uncovered my food

I began to eat but I was stealing glances at him, wondering why he was looking so happy today

Bad Boy: I wont be at home for a few days

He took a glass of water and gulped it down

Me: why?

Bad Boy : business

I wanted to ask what type of business but I knew he wouldn't tell me about it. It might be something illegal

Me: and you have to be away for days?

Bad Boy : yeah. Why? Would you miss me?

I stopped chewing and stared at my food

He chuckled and I looked at him

Me: I can't miss something like you

Bad Boy : you'll miss me. I'm sure

I shrugged and continued to eat

Bad Boy : your wheel chair is in your closet

Me: oh, I even forgot about it

I drank water and he stood up looking at his phone

Me: are you leaving now?

He smirked

Bad Boy : are you missing me already?

Me: what? No!

Bad Boy : see you in one week

He moved out of the chair

Me: one week! What do you want me to do in this huge house all by myself in one week!

He began to laugh

Bad Boy : I know you want me to stay. Just admit it

Me: gosh, you're misinterpreting me. You know what, why don't you just stay there for two weeks. Take all the time you need

Bad Boy : good, now you're talking

He moved away and I frowned at my food as if it is the reason for my anger

__________

ad oy

I got into my car and zoomed off into town. I stopped by a shop and decided to buy a pack of cigarettes. Not that I didn't have it, but I just felt like terrifying some people

I got down with my gun tucked into my trousers. My black shades were reflecting in the sun. My shoes were thick black leather boots and my outfit was pure ruggedity

The people in the store stared at me. Some people began to move away. I smirked and went to the counter

Me: a pack of cigarettes

The lady hurriedly brought it and I paid her

I slowly moved out and entered into my car. I looked through the rear mirror and saw two men looking at my car and entering into their own car. I lighted my cigarette and slipped it in. Then I watched their car intently

It didn't move

I started my car and slowly moved out. They started their car too and began to follow me

I laughed and zoomed off. Their car too began to run faster

I zoomed by the woods and suddenly stopped, but I acted as if I didn't know they were unto me

I got down and sat on the bonnet of my car. Their car zoomed in and parked right in front of me

I was smoking and operating my phone

They stepped down and pointed their guns at me. I didn't even look up

One of the guys spoke up

Guy: you might wanna say your last prayers

Guy2: we know you're alone so don't try to scare us

I looked at them and dropped my cigarette

Me: who sent you?

I stood up and walked to them

They immediately fired shots at me. I saw it coming with the help of my dark shades.

I ducked and used my right leg to kick their two legs and they fell down. I stood up and held my waist, though I was actually ready to grab my gun from my trousers.

They stood up and tried to shoot me again, I kicked the first guys wrist and his gun fell down. The other one began to fight with me

He kicked my tummy with one leg and punched my chin

I used my two fists to punch his lower abdomen and then pushed him hardly on his tummy with my leg

The other guy had already carried his gun

He pointed it to my face and smirked

I raised my hands in surrender

He cocked the gun and I immediately bent down my raised hand

I held his fingers and pinned it to the gun

I twisted it and used his hand to pull the trigger on him

The bullet went right through his head

I dropped my cigarette and looked at the two bodies.

The other guy wasn't dead so I squatted beside him

Me: should I leave you alive? Or kill you?

He groaned and rolled away

Me: okay, I'll leave you alive. Go and tell whosoever sent you that you didn't succeed

I got up and entered into my car then zoomed off

_________

Fedora

Bad Boy isn't expecting me today

But I'll surprise him by coming

He'll be so thrilled

I walked down the stairs of the airplane and strolled into the car my dad sent to pick me up

I went home and met him. He was happy to see me but I just wanted to see Bad Boy

I called him immediately

hey

hey babe

where are you?

why are you asking? Are you here already?

you don't have to ruin the surprise you know

just come to my house, downtown. I'm waiting for you

I chuckled and hung up

I got into a car and drove to the house

I stepped down and strolled in, some of the guards tried to stop me

They must be the new recruits

The old ones know me

I didn't argue with them. I just let them call Bad Boy

When they finally let me in, I went straight upstairs. I removed my sunglasses and gently opened his door

He was on the bed with his phone.

Me: hey

He looked up and smirked

Bad Boy : it's been awhile

I smiled

Me: yeah I know

I pulled off my shoes and climbed the bed. He stretched his hand and pulled me

We kissed and he removed my jacket. He dropped his phone and cupped my b**bs

Bad Boy : fuller

Me: yeah

He dropped me on the bed and took his shirt off. I was busy unbuckling his belt

Immediately my phone rang.

I would have ignored it but I was expecting a call

Me: one minute

I tried to move but he pinned me down

Bad Boy : you know that doesn't work on me

I gasped as he patted my legs and moved into me

____________

Rosa

I want to check the garden out today. Well, I hope he has a garden

I already wore a blue dress and sat on my wheelchair. I wheeled myself outside through the back door and luckily, there's a garden

I looked through the pretty flowers. I got to a particular one that got me crying

It was mom's favorite flower. She loved it so much

I used to steal them for her from people's gardens.

Her favorite color is red and that's why hibiscus

is her favorite

I stayed in the garden watching butterflies and bees playing with the flowers that I didn't even know it was already lunch time until a maid came to call me

______________

Bad Boy

I lighted a cigarette and tried to move it into my mouth but Fedora collected it and kissed me instead

We were both lying naked in bed but were covered by a blanket

Me: I can't trade my cigarette with a kiss

She laughed and kissed my chest. I took the cigarette into my mouth and began to smoke.

She was kissing my tummy down

Me: don't turn me on again

Fedora: what if I do? You'll just do what you can do

Me: do you have any idea what I can do?

Fedora : hey mister, I've seen every action of yours. Either with a woman or with a gun

I laughed and pulled her aside.

I took my shorts and wore it then strolled into the bathroom.

I decided to tell her to join me, probably for another round so I moved to the door.

She was on a call so I decided to let her be

I wanted to close the door when I heard her saying 'I'm with Bad Boy already, okay.... You can count on me''

I closed the door and stood there.

Who was Fedora talking to?

____________

Rosa

I'm feeling really bored in this big house. I want something fun to do other than watching TV

And I'm tired of sitting down always. I miss walking

Or maybe I should try and exercise the way Bad Boy said I should.

I rolled to a pillar and held it firmly, then I stood up, hugging it.

I moved backwards a little but I felt like I was carrying tons of metals under my waist. My legs were so heavy

I moved round the pillar and jumped to another pillar. I walked round it again

I repeated this until I went round about five pillars.

I held a window frame and walked round it to another window. The fresh breeze blowing outside tossed my hair around

I smiled, determined to go round the house.

Whenever I got tired, I sat down on the ground for a few minutes

Workers passed and I waved at them. I looked up into the sky and mentally waved my mother

I got up again and continued until I reached the back door. I entered inside and managed to walk to the front door where my wheelchair was

I was so exhausted and was breathing heavily

I wanted to sit down but I needed something cold to drink

I thanked my stars when a maid walked in

Me: please... Please... I need... Something to drink... I'm dying

I sat on the floor and she chuckled and bowed.

She went to the kitchen and returned with a tray containing a filled glass of orange juice and a large juice box. Some cakes were also on the tray

I hurriedly collected it and gulped it down

___________

Bad Boy

It's been three days with Fedora and damn I love this girl

No single minute without pleasure. Seems she upgraded.

Right now we're in a hotel room, she's making a phone call in the bathroom and I'm waiting for her

I haven't even called to check on Rosa.

Maybe I should check up on her tomorrow even though she said I should take two weeks

Fedora came back

Fedora: hey, bad news. Gotta go meet my manager over some things

Me : you're leaving?

Fedora: yeah

She walked towards me and gave me a kiss

Bad Boy : are we meeting today again?

Fedora : I don't think so. But I'll see you tomorrow

Me: okay

I kissed the tattoo on her neck and released her

She wore her clothes and left

Shortly after, I wore my clothes too and decided to go and see Rosa

___________

Rosa

Truly practice makes perfect

I'm already limping and I don't really need crutches or a wheelchair.

I wish I could see Bad Boy and tell him I can now manage to walk on my own

I don't even have his number, nor a phone of my own

I hugged my teddy and limped outside into the dark nights

The house was fully bright with lights everywhere

I sat down at the facade and played with my teddy ears

The gate opened and a car came in.

I watched hoping it was Bad Boy

He came out and I smiled happily

I stood up and called him

Me: Bad Boy!

He looked surprised

I limped towards him and he smiled

Bad Boy : you finally started limping

Me: yeah, I exercised like you said

He leaned on the car

Bad Boy : so did you miss me?

I frowned a little

Me: no

I turned to go but he pulled me back and laughed

Bad Boy : do you know why I came back?

I shrugged

Bad Boy : because I miss you

My cheeks turned red

But I pretended as if those words didn't affect me

Me: you're drunk again

He laughed and made me sit on the car

Me: why are you in a good mood today?

He cracked and lighted a cigarette.

He began to smoke and it was disturbing my breath

I was going to tell him to stop when someone called his name from the gate side

We looked and a girl came forward

Bad Boy : Fedora? What are you doing here?

Her eyes fell on me

Fedora : who's she and why are you two staying like that?

I swallowed a lump

This is definitely not a good first impression on her side

(What happened to them?)

Episode 4

By: Faith Lucky.

Jeanne's Pov:
"So, who's your favourite among the loverboys?" I asked and she blushed.

"Huh? Of course it's Alex. Who else could it be?" She replied happily.

"But...If you were to chose between Theo and Alex, whom would you chose?" I asked and she looked stuck a bit.

"Well...I don't know. Theo's also very lovely and comparable to Alex. But, I think id still chose Alex" she replied and I smiled.

"What about the lovergirls? Are they also in my grade?" I asked and Carissa crinkled up her face.

"Who? Those spoilt arrogant brats?" She asked and I pulled a surprised face.

"Huh? Why are you saying that about them? I love them" I said defensively and she scoffed.

"Trust me, darling. It's because you haven't gotten to meet them.
They're vipers, especially their leader - Kimberly. She's a she wolf. You really need to be careful with them" .

I scoffed and shook my head. Is she serious or something?
Kimberly is my role model.
How can she tell me to be careful around her?

Carissa and I went on talking for sometime and I kind of enjoyed her company. She was a fun person.

After lunch, she followed me to class. But since we were in different grades, we couldn't stay together and she left afterwards.

To be sincere, I didn't entirely enjoy my first day in Alpha High because I didn't get to meet any of my superstars - aside Alex who had just acted blinded towards me.

After some hours, the school was over and everybody headed home.

When I got home, luckily, dad was still around. And so, his wife and kids didn't have an opportunity to bully me.
Too bad he'll be leaving tomorrow.

I had dinner with him and explained briefly about my first day in alpha high. Although I didn't tell him about the Alex part.

We spent a long time together and after a while, I went up to my room for a bath and a rest.
Well, like I said, I only get to enjoy these privileges when dad was around .
The moment he leaves again by tomorrow, my life's gonna turn into a living hell.

I brought out my diary and wrote about my little experience with Alex.
It was very brief, but meant a lot to me . I kept smiling the whole time.

I remembered his sweet words to me:
"Do you realise this is a restricted area?"

Hold on; did I just say sweet?

Well, at that moment, they were scary. But right now, they're sweet.
Oh, Alex!

I could recall how cute he looked when he turned around to pick up the keys - those dazzling eyes of his; the nose; the sweet pink lips and the hair.

I wish I could be hold that face again. Even if it was just for a second.

'I really like you, Alex' I wrote in my diary.
'And I wish I could take away the sadness you feel.
Too bad you now dislike ladies'.

I closed the diary and led upwards, rethinking the whole thing.
I really wish I can get to see Alex again.

Well, tomorrow was tuesday, right? And we had further maths.
Mr Leonard's definitely going to force him to come to class.

Oh, God!.
I really can't wait.
I wish I get to sit next to him.

Next Morning
�������

I woke up the next morning, feeling kind of excited.
I had breakfast and dressed up and after that, dad dropped me off at school.

"See you later, Jeanne" he told me as he stopped in front of the school and awaited me to step down.
I was sitting down at the front seat with him.

"Dad" I called sadly.
"When will you be travelling?"

"Oh; in less than two hours" he replied and my eyes drooped.

"Uhm...how long will it take before you return?"

"Uhm...I don't know; maybe some weeks".

My heart ached when he told me about it. I can't imagine what it's going to be like living with those family of his.

"Don't worry, Jeanne. Everything will be fine, okay?" He said she kissed my forehead and I smiled and left the car.

Hmm.
Back again in Alpha High. I hope today won't be as boring as yesterday.

I started walking into the building, admiring all the students I came across. Too bad none of them paid attention to me.

I got to the classroom and took a seat at the back close to the window.
More students kept trooping in and I looked curiously for the loverboys.
Oh; maths was the last subject before break.

Oh-oh.
That means the loverboys might not be coming now.
Too bad.

After a short while, the first teacher came in and took us on science.
I just jolted perfunctorily as that wasn't what I was waiting for.

Then, after 45 minutes, the next teacher came in and took us on social norms. And finally, it was time for maths!
Hah!
I can hardly wait!

The maths teacher came in and commenced teaching and I was kind of puzzled because the loverboys were yet to come.
Huh?

I itched my head and couldn't pay attention to the lesson because my mind was occupied.

Where are the loverboys? I thought they never fail to miss Mr Leonard's class?

I became brood and totally lost focus in the class.
I had really planed on seeing them.

"Can anyone help with the equation on the board?" Mr Leonard's voice broke into my thoughts and I took a look at the board.
It was a familiar equation.

"Yes? Anyone? Jeanne? The new student?" He called and I felt surprised he had actually called my name.

Some of the students turned and looked at me and I became nervous.

"Jeanne, can you help us out?" He asked again and I stuttered and stood on my feet.

"Uhm...okay sir" I replied as I walked up to the front of the class and took the marker from him.

Then, I faced the board and started solving the equation.

like I said, it was a familiar equation. But since it was further maths, it had to be lengthy.

I was still focused on the board, solving the equation when I suddenly heard the students gasping and jiltering.

I turned to see what was going on and...Oh, my God!
The loverboys!!!

They're here!

They came!

Oh, my God!

They really did come!

Am I dreaming?

(What happened to them?)




             Episode 3




By: Faith Lucky.




           Jeanne's Pov:

She paused and took in some juice.

"Oh, that?" She asked and continued eating, but I wasn't.

I was just staring at her, hopefully waiting for an answer.




"Well, I have no idea. Nobody does - maybe except the loverboys" she replied and I sighed disappointed




"But it all started four years ago" she added.

"Theo was the leader of the band back then and him and Alex were best of friends. They seemed inseparable.

"Normally, Theo was a nice quiet guy, while Alex was the flirty type. Carl, I

Daniel and Malcolm were just like Alex - always having fun.




"But unexplainbly, Theo disappeared; like he just disappeared and nobody has heard from him since then.

"So, Alex took over as the band leader, but things were never the same again..."




"Like the deaths of his girlfriend?" I interpolated and she shrugged.




"well, yeah.  The death of his girlfriends. It's also kind of complicated.

Since Theo left, Alex has fallen in love with two girls and they both ended up dead".




"So what do you think?" I asked.

"Do you think it's just a coincidence?"




"Well, I don't know about that. Like I said, it's complicated. Maybe its a coincidence, maybe it's not. But one things for sure; something really big definitely happened between Theo and Alex - something really big".




A brief silence stepped in for a while.




"I heard they're no female workers in the loverboys mansion" I broke the silence.




"Oh, yes. Alex's idea" she replied. "He's been trying to avoid contact with girls in every way.




"You know his dad is late and his mum and little sis actually live in the mansion because of the kid.

She's a very very busy woman and travels out of the country a lot.

So, as a result, she stays in the mansion so whenever she was away, the loverboys could help in looking after Molly.

But the loverboys are usually very busy and many times, Molly has gone missing.




"Huh? Why doesn't she just get a nanny or something?" I asked, muddled.




"Hello? Have you forgotten I said no female workers in the mansion?

Alex's mum has hiredhired about eight nannies - if I'm not mistaken - but they all lost their jobs within 24 hours".




I gasped.




"You mean Alex sends them away?" I asked.




"Nope. Not Alex, but Molly. She always cooks up one complain or the other or ill treat and scare the nannies away and in the end, they end up running away.

But, it's rumoured Alex's the one behind it. I heard he's actually the one making her send the nanny away and that's because he doesn't want any girl around him. Even their cook is a boy."




"But why's he suddenly abstaining from girls?" I asked.




"Well, maybe he's scared to fall love again. I mean, after what happened to the other two girls he loved. Anyway, I don't know; I have no idea" .




I nodded and looked down at my food.




"So, who's your favourite among the loverboys?" I asked and she blushed.

Chapter 4

Rosa

Why is he being nice to me all of a sudden?

Did he change his mind?

Or he has something up his sleeve?

I'm kinda scared because of what he's capable of doing

And I don't even know what's going on in his mind

But at least, he said I could stay here till I wanna leave

I better go to my room before he sees me and changes his mind

I wheeled myself to the elevator and went upstairs to my room

�Bad Boy�

I need something from the government

They have enough money � but they're still neglecting my words

Too bad, I'm going to hit them the hard way

What I asked for was just a private plane

Not that I can't afford it but because I've been silent for a while

It's time to tell them that I'm still here

#Me : Roberto, get twenty bombs ready. And I need fifteen men, it's high time we visit somewhere

#Roberto: okay boss

He moved away and I looked into the television

Whenever you see me in my hideout and I'm not standing, then I'm on my rocking chair

You can just call it my evil chair

One of my men walked in

#Man: Bad Boy, you have a call from the Minister of education

#Me: that son of a bitch still owes me

I took the phone

�hello Minister

�Bad Boy, I need you to do something right now

�no I won't.

�I'll send you your balance now

�now you're talking. So what do you want me to do?

�kidnap the president's daughter

�how much? Remember, not less than two million won

�I'll pay you three million

�plus my one million balance

�that's four million

�so why do you want her kidnapped

�it's non of your business. Just have her kidnapped

�I'm a terrorist doesnt mean I don't have dignity. I don't do things like that, tell me why you want her kidnapped and I'll see if it's reasonable

�because we want the president to step down

�you and who?

�ministers and governors. We don't want him to rule and we'll kidnap his daughter and won't release her until he steps down

�okay, Im In. Will get back to you

I hung up and stood

Roberto came back

#Me: is it ready?

He nodded

I brought out a cigarette and lighted it

#Me: let's go to the new government building project

I poked the cigarette into my mouth and walked out with my men

�Ron�

What! No way!

Bad Boy is getting way ahead of me

How can he bomb up a whole building project?

The cars in the government house were completely burned down

He even proceeded to the government bank, sent everybody out and burnt it down

And now he's threatening the government that he'll even kill innocent people if the government doesn't respond to him

And the stupid government is trying to respond to him

If they do, then I'm doomed

No one would acknowledge me at all

My terrorism will die down because Bad Boy will take the lead

I can't let that idiot be over me again

I also heard that he got a project to smuggle in weapons

And the government didn't say anything

What a stupid government

I'll make sure I deal with Bad Boy first

With Bad Boy out of the way, I'll be the greatest terrorist leader in the whole of Korea

But what will I use to get him down?

That slowpoke has always been one step ahead of me

I need to get an inside man this time

#Me : Kick, send in the new recruits

#Kick: Sir, we haven't gotten any new recruits for months now. They're all going for Bad Boy

I banged my fist angrily on the chair handle

#Me: then get someone who isn't known to be part of my men. Someone who I can trust

#Me: how about Byreom? He's the guy in charge of the weapons. He doesn't go out much, he just distributes the weapons and orders more

#Me: good.... Call him for me

Kick left and I watched the television in anger

#Me: whaaaaat!

I stormed out of the chair

The president's daughter has been abducted?

Who else could do this?

Only Bad Boy can

If it's not me

Then it's him

We're the only ones that can take such risks

How can Bad Boy do all these in one day

Kick came back with the guy.

I smirked

The guy looked smart and evil

A slow poison

#Me: Bi Ryeom, I need you to do something important for me. I hope I can trust you

#BiRyeom : yes boss

#Me: good, I need you to join the Vipers and be my inside man. Tell me their every move and keep an eye on Bad Boy

�Rosa�

He said he'll be back by night time

And he's not yet back

Was he joking earlier?

And I watched the news

I heard about the mass destruction and it was accounted to him

Protestant crowded the streets this evening, telling the government to give him what he wants so he won't come after their lives

But he's really smart though

A maid walked in

#Maid : ma'am there's a call for you

#Me: a call for me? How? There's no one that can call me

#Me: the caller said he wanted to talk to you

I nodded and took the house cell phone from her

�hello

�Rosa, why did you keep me waiting.....before....you picked up? Huh?

�excuse me? Who I'm I speaking with?

�crazy girl, you don't know my voice.... Bad Boy?

I gasped and covered my mouth

�Bad... Bad Boy?

�no, I'm a good boy now. Haha. Open the door for me

I looked at the door

�are you here already?

�open the door

I dropped the phone and wheeled to the door. I stretched forth and opened it but no one was there.

I wheeled outside and looked around

That was when his car drove in roughly

He came out with a white bag and jammed the door

He looked forward and saw me, he smiled and began to walk towards me

He wasn't walking properly

#Bad Boy : hey, Rosa... How are you?

He's drunk

Again....

#Me: I'm fine. Why are you late?

#Bad Boy : cause I..... was busy

He smiled sheepishly

I shook my head in pity and turned my wheelchair around then wheeled inside

Just so you'll know, my wheelchair is automatic. I just press a few buttons and it starts working

#Bad Boy : hey are you walking out on me?

#Me: no I can't walk

He entered inside and closed the door

#Bad Boy : today was so awesome. I got lots of money

#Me: for kidnapping the president's daughter right?

#Bad Boy : yeah ✌. How did you know?

I didn't answer

I just wanted to go upstairs and rest

#Bad Boy : I bought something for you

I turned immediately

#Me: you bought something for me?

#Bad Boy : yes

He lifted up the bag

I wheeled to him

#Me: let me see it

He handed it to me and I opened it

#Me: OMG �

I brought out a big teddy bear �

It had a pink bow tie but it was white in color

#Bad Boy : it's cute, like you

I looked at him and he slumped over to the black sofa then closed his eyes.

He must be really tired

#Me: thanks..

I was secretly blushing

My wheelchair suddenly began to move on its on and I wasn't controlling it

I began to panic

#Me: my wheelchair... my wheelchair is moving on its own. It's malfunctioning

Bad Boy didn't answer, he just covered his eye with one hand and the other eye was closed

The wheelchair was taking me to his side

I wanted to run off but I couldn't walk

I began to hear him chuckle

#Me: huh?

He lifted up a remote control and began to press it

My wheelchair went backwards

Then came forward

Then it began to go round and round

I was screaming

My teddy even fell off

Finally it stopped and I was feeling so dizzy that I couldn't open my eyes

I felt like I was still going round

Bad Boy was laughing

He stood up and walked to my teddy, took it up and kept it on the sofa

#Bad Boy : are you still dizzy?

He squatted beside me

I frowned and tried to push him away but he didn't move

#Bad Boy : oops, I'm stronger than you

He laughed and I stopped frowning

He held my hands

#Bad Boy : are you feeling sleepy?

I shook my head

#Bad Boy : good...

He pulled me up

#Me: what are you doing?

He pulled me up on my feet

My leg began to hurt me a little

Bad Boy held my waist and my heart dropped off my chest

I'm too close to him and I'm terribly scared

#Bad Boy : are you scared?

I swallowed a lump in my throat

#Bad Boy : don't worry. I won't hurt you. I'm just helping you to exercise your leg. You need to start trying to walk around

He began to move backwards slowly

I followed him painfully

#Me: I can't...i can't do it. Stop please

He didn't answer me

He just kept moving

Since he was holding me, I couldn't help but move too

He turned me around, still holding my waist with his hands

I placed my hands on his arms

#Bad Boy : just try to move okay.

He rested his head behind my ear

We slowly moved towards the television

My legs were shaky so I held unto his arms tightly

#Me: my legs are so weak

#Bad Boy : it's because they've been staying idle for almost a week

#Me: don't I need to see a doctor?

#Bad Boy : you will, next week

#Me: I'm thirsty

#Bad Boy : let's move to the kitchen then

#Me: we won't get there today

He laughed and we turned to the kitchen side

I looked at the wall clock, it was already 11pm

I wonder why I'm not sleepy

We finally got to the kitchen after about ten minutes

If it was my wheelchair, it will take me not less than a minute

He made me hold unto the counter and went to get the drinks himself

He gave me a glass of pineapple juice and one other in his hand

#Bad Boy : I can't even remember the last time I took something like this

#Me: what? Why?

He chuckled

#Bad Boy : it's late already. You should be in bed

I nodded and gulped down my juice

He dropped his cup and I did same

He swerved me up into his arms and my eyes widened

#Bad Boy : I'll take you up the stairs then we'll walk to your room

#Me: why don't I just use the wheelchair?

#Bad Boy : I make the decisions here

He took me up the stairs to the hallway then dropped me

He held my hand over his shoulder and the other hand on my waist

We walked silently to my room

He dropped me on the bed and gave me my nightie that hung on the closet door knob

#Bad Boy : change and I'll bring your Teddy for you

I smiled and took it

He left and I picked my crutches

I still have my crutches but I use it only when I'm in my room especially when I want to bath or wear my clothes

�Bad Boy�

I wasted some time downstairs because of a call I got from Fedora, Mr Yoon's daughter

Fedora is my only female friend

We talk a lot and she's more like a gangster too

She's actually a IndecentStar based in USA.

She's the reason why Mr Yoon and I are partners in crime

Whenever Fedora and I are together, we're always talking dirty

And when we're not talking dirty, we're doing the dirty

Whenever she's around, I don't go out with any bitch at all

But she's been away for two months now

But she just said she's coming back next week

It's a good thing

I haven't had good sex for a long time now

The Vipers Girl

( You mess with the wrong person )

By Hossana Isaac O

(Hossy Korean Series)

#Chapter 3

••••••••••••Rosa•••••••••••••

What a human being

He is supposed to be a responsible gentleman

But he's not

He's so stupid and heartless

It's because of him I'm crippled anyway

I tried to sit up then grabbed by two crutches by my side

I held them firmly then used all my energy to lift myself up

I succeeded a little by going a bit higher but then I stumbled and fell again

I groaned angrily

I sat down to see if one of the maids will pass by but I got impatient

And the leg began to hurt me

The way I was sitting wasn't really appropriate

I turned and managed to sit well

I leaned my crutches over the wall and waited for someone to come and help me

Unfortunately, my crutches slid and fell on my leg

I screamed and began to cry

The crutches really hit it and I feel so miserable

I began to wipe my tears repeatedly

I'm this type of person that my tears flows like a waterfall when I start crying and I usually find a hard time wiping them away

Then I heard someone sigh

I looked up to see him leaning on the wall with his hands crossed

I frowned at him

Then I muttered 'devil' and looked away

#Bad Boy : I heard you

#Me : I don't care

He chuckled and walked closer then took my arm

#Me : what are you doing?

He didn't answer, he just pulled me up

I placed my feet on the floor and my thigh immediately got a feeling as if it was electrocuted.

I yelped and took my feet up

#Bad Boy : hurts right?

I frowned at him again

#Me : do you care?

Then I hissed

I'm getting guts now

I wonder where I got this from

And I just overcame my fear over Bad Boy

#Bad Boy : if I didn't care, I wouldn't be standing here holding you right now

I looked away and grabbed my crutches then balanced on them

#Me : thank you

Then I began to walk away angrily

It seems the devil is against me today because a few steps from him, I fell again

I screamed and I lay face down

He began to laugh evilly

I even became scared because I thought he was punishing me

I don't even know what this guy is

Maybe he even has sorcery

Immediately, all my guts vanished

My fear rushed in again

I felt him squat beside me

My heart began to beat faster

#Bad Boy : should I leave you here or just go?

I couldn't reply or even look at his face

#Bad Boy : thank your God I'm in a good mood

He lifted me up and instead of giving me my crutches, he swerved me off my feet

I gave out a yell of fright

He carried me to a room and dropped me on the bed

#Bad Boy :don't bother coming out yet until I say so

He turned and got to the door then stopped and turned back again

#Bad Boy : I hope this is your room?

I shook my head nervously

He placed his hands on his waist and stared at me

I immediately looked down and played with my fingers frightenedly

#Bad Boy : you know what? Just stay here until I tell you to come out

#Me : but... but... What... Wha...

Then he said harshly

#Bad Boy : don't waste my time. Do you think I'm as idle as you?

I swallowed a lump

#Me : I'm sorry. I was going to ask about my crutches

He hissed and left after banging the door in my face

I shuddered and stared blankly at the door

^•^•^•^•Bad Boy^•^•^•^•

That girl must be an illiterate

I wonder why I even brought her here

Was I that drunk?

I hate liabilities

That's why I separated from my family

I don't want to have anyone with me

It's so exhausting

I hate people

They disturb a lot

And I think this girl is worst

I better show her the real me instead of being soft on her

I walked to the living room and met a maid cleaning

All the workers hate me so much

Is it even hatred?

I think it's fear

They're afraid of me

This maid hasn't seen me yet that's why she's still humming and cleaning

#Me : hey!

I barked

She looked back abruptly and saw that it was me

Her body shook and she staggered back and hit a flower vase

It stumbled and fell down, shattering.

Her eyes widened

#Me : say goodbye to your family and friends then say hi to your greatest grandfather

I pulled out my gun from behind

She screamed loudly and fainted

I began to laugh

I laughed and sat on the cushion with my gun on my leg

I brought my phone out and decided to order a wheelchair for that girl so she won't kill herself with the crutches

Then I'd probably send her away afterwards

A maid rushed in as if she was trying to catch a flight she was already late for

She rushed towards the maid who fainted and gasped

She bent down and checked her out

She didn't see me on the cushion

Well the cushion is black and I'm wearing black

I decided to scare her too

I lifted my gun and fired a shot through the ceiling

She screamed and fainted immediately even without looking at me

#Me : I hate girls. They are too weak for my liking. Always fainting..

I ordered the wheelchair and waited for it to arrive

I checked the time and it was almost 8am

Breakfast should be ready by now

I'm really starving due to the alcohol I consumed last night

^•^•^•^•Rosa^•^•^•^•

I heard a gunshot

Oh no!

Is Bad Boy having a fight in his house

Or maybe the Red Light finally tracked him down and shot him here

This is not good

This is so not good

What if they decide to check the whole house and kill everyone in it?

Then I'll die

I clasped my hands together

#Me : oh God, oh God please save me. Please save my life

I was in fear for over ten minutes

Then I heard a knock

I began to shiver

The door opened and a maid walked in

I breathed in

#Maid : good morning Miss. It's time for your breakfast

#Me : where is Bad Boy?

#Me : he's already at the table. He asked us to bring you down with this...

She rolled in a wheelchair

#Me : huh?

She rolled it to me

#Maid : let me help you up

She aided me and I stood up and sat down on the chair

It was very comfy

#Maid : are you okay?

#Me : yes, thank you so much

She smiled and rolled me out to the hallway then we went through the elevator and got downstairs

I secretly prayed that Bad Boy wouldn't be at the dinning table again

^•^•^•^•Bad Boy^•^•^•^•

I poked a toothpick in my mouth as I walked to the pool side.

I don't have a gym here and I don't have a hideout here

What a stupid house

I wonder if I was drunk when I bought it

Right now I seriously need to do my workout

I think the only arm I've got here is my gun

But the house is still safe because no one knows it's for me, except the workers

And since I hardly come here, eyes are not on it

I ordered a Maid to get me some towels and cigarettes

I did to open my brain

I also ordered her to get me some champagne

I sat by the pool and waited for the maid

Calls have been coming in since but I've been rejecting them

It's just my men who want to say one thing or the other

If it's a serious issue, they would call my secret number

The maid brought my stuff and gave them to me

She turned to go but I stopped her

#Me : stand here

She looked puzzled as she stood there

#Me : are you safe?

I was looking at my phone

She didn't answer

I looked up

#Me : are you deaf or dumb?

#Maid : I... I'm.. I'm safe..

#Me: good, now strip and enter the pool

#Maid: but...

#Me: strip NOW!

She began to strip and I smirked

I took a cigarette and lighted it

I watched her as she took her uniform off

When she got to her undies, I used my leg and pushed her into the pool

She screamed as she splashed into the water

I dropped my cigarette and took my shirt off then dived in and grabbed her

She gasped as I squeezed her b**bs roughly

I wasn't smiling

I was going straight to business

I removed her pantie by myself and immediately entered into her

I pushed her to the edge and rocked her body hard

She held me firmly as she moaned roughly

I rocked her for thirty minutes and finally ejaculated

I pulled out but she was still holding on to me

We were both breathing heavily

I pulled her head close, as if I was going to kiss her

But I whispered into her ear

#Me: you're fired

She looked shocked as I got out of the pool and wore my clothes

#Me: give me your bank details and I'll send you enough money to vanish from my face now and forever

She couldn't come out cause she was naked and I smirked evilly

I just ruined her self esteem

I turned and frowned when I saw someone on a wheelchair gawking at me

^•^•^•^•Rosa^•^•^•^•

I decided to go round the house checking different places

The wheelchair is really fast and smooth

I love it

But I still prefer my legs

I wheeled to the sixth room I was going to enter

The door was half opened

I heard sounds of a lady, as if she was gasping for air

I quickly wheeled in and it was the pool room

Two people were in the pool

And they were doing the filthy

I gasped and covered my mouth

I couldn't believe they were so stupid enough to do it publicly

I looked at the face that lifted up and it was Bad Boy

I decided to wheel away quietly before he shoots me dead

It was then he came out of the pool

The first thing my eyes caught was his tattoo

A viper

A terrifying one

He wore his shirt and I sat gawking

I quickly tried to turn but he saw me

#Me: oh no!

I turned immediately and began to wheel away

#Bad Boy : come back here

He began to come after me

I began to wheel faster but he caught up with me and pulled the back of the wheelchair.

He turned me around and held my hair in a way that it was hurting so bad

#Bad Boy : how dare you stalk me?

He was looking angry

#Bad Boy : I didn't bring you here to start watching my every move. In fact, leave my house now before I murder you in cold blood

He pulled my hair and I began to cry

Everything in my life replayed itself

I was reminded that I was a nobody and that no one wants me

Hearing those words weren't my first time but it actually poked a hole in my heart because I thought I would be allowed to live in here

But like the trash I am, I'm being thrown out again

I was crying profusely

He gently released my hair

My sobs were increasing

I turned the wheelchair and began to move away while crying

I couldn't say a word because my mouth was busy

I wanted to go upstairs and take my things but I remembered that I didn't come to the house with anything but my crutches

I then wheeled to the facade

It led to the floor with a flight of stairs

I couldn't go down

I was contemplating whether to ride down the stairs even though I knew I might fall

I began to cry again

#Bad Boy : why do you cry with pain written in your eyes?

I looked up to see Bad Boy

^•^•^•^•^•Bad Boy^•^•^•^•

There must be something that this girl has gone through

Why is she crying this way?

I know her mother is died while she was at the hospital and I know they're very poor

That's why I paid all her bills

Maybe she has suffered a lot

I don't know what it feels like to feel pain and I don't care if people are feeling pain, but I'm still human

I bent down to her

The breeze was blowing gently and her long hair was being tossed about

I took a strand of hair that entered her mouth

#Me : let's go inside. You might get a fever

I wheeled her inside and locked the door

I changed the room temperature with the thermostat and got her a glass of warm milk

She took it and began to drink

I sat opposite her and watched her

I checked the time, almost 10am

I need to go out

#Me: I'm sorry for yelling at you. Won't happen again

She looked up surprisingly

#Me: and you can keep staying her till whenever you want to leave. This is your home now

She was still staring at me as if I was speaking Latin

#Me: we can also be friends

Then I smiled

Her eyes widened

#Girl: what??

#Me: you heard me right

I stood up and lifted her hand and gave her a handshake

#Me: I'm going out. I'll be back in the night

Then I began to walk away

I stopped and turned

She was still having this face of unbelief

#Me: what's your name?

Don't mind me, I don't know her name

#Girl: Ros... Rosa

I nodded

#Me: nice meeting you Rosa

I winked at her and went upstairs

I was taking my shower when everything I did played in my mind like a television

I was surprised and I froze

Where did all those words come from?

It sounded too nice

I threw my soap against the wall and yelled...

#Me: dammit, Bad Boy isn't that nice!!!

�The Loverboys�
(What happened to them?)

By: Faith Lucky.

Episode 2

Jeanne's Pov continues:
I heard him touch the keys again and just then, his phone started ringing.

"Yes?
I'll be there" he said on the phone.
His voice was so soft as he spoke and it made me drool more on him.

But at this moment, I was scared.
What is he going to do to me?

I heard him stand and started walking to the door which was towards my direction.
Oh, God!

Surprisingly, he walked pass me and didn't even turn to take a look at me.
Huh?
Is he really such an introvert?

I watched in surprise as he walked to the door, but just when he was about going out, something like car keys fell from his hands and I exhaled.
He's definitely going to turn around to pick it up.

My heartheart skipped as he bent and turned to pick it up and boom!
That was it.
We made the eye contact

Gosh!
Is this for real?
Jesus; he was so heavenly cute; cuter than he looked on TV and magazines.

Oh, my God! I could hardly breathe.

He had this long baby lashes and a dark curly hair that flopped across his forehead.
Even though I only had to look at him for a short time, I could swear he was the most handsome guy I'd ever seen.

He stared at me briefly and quickly took his eyes away like he had seen no one important.
And finally, he left the room.

I placed my hand on my chest and took in a deep breath.
Gosh; that was so close.
I can't believe he didn't even react to my presence there.

But it's still a miracle to know I was in the same room with loverboy Alex.
It's unbelievable.

I left the room and got outside and looked left and right to see if I could still get a glimpse of him.
But unfortunately, he was gone.

I stood at the passage for a while, still recalling the whole thing.
I smiled when I remembered his soft voice that had spoken to me:
'Do you realise this is a restricted area?'

I wish I could hear him speak again.

I finally took the stairs and returned to the office and there I met my dad in already, talking with the principal.

"Jeanne, where have you been? I've been looking for you" he said as I took a seat beside me.

"Sorry dad. I was just taking a look around" I replied and turned to the principal who was a chubby handsome man.

"Good morning sir" I greeted and checked the header on his desk for a name.
It was Mr Mark Clarkson.

"Good morning, dear. Your dad here has already told me everything about you.
Just fill this form over here and you'll be assigned to your new class" he said and slided the form to me on the table and I collected it and filled in my details.

"I'm sure you have the school map on your school already. But I'll be assigning someone to show you around later in the day.
Welcome to Alpha High School" he concluded with a warm smile and brought out his hand for a handshake and I smiled and collected it.

"Thank you sir" I replied and stood up with dad.
"Thank you very much Mr Clarkson. I really appreciate the effort" dad told him and exchanged a handshake with him and we left the office afterwards.

"Make sure you stay out of trouble, Jeanne. And be attentive in class, okay?"he told me as we held hands and walked out of the passage.
Then when we got to the balcony, I stopped and embraced him.

"Thank you dad. Thank you so much for this" I said happily and he patted my back.

"Just make me proud okay?" He said softly and I nodded and unlocked from the hug.

"Now hurry to class so you don't be late for lectures" he said and I smiled and waved at him and left.

I opened the school map on my phone and followed the direction to my new classroom.
It was very big and pretty and filled with young good looking boys and girls.

Well, all the students in Alpha High were undoubtedly rich because Alpha High doesn't give out scholarships.
So, there were no rooms for commoners.

Well, it's a good thing I had someone like Mr Raymond to back me up.

I nervously walked into the classroom as all the students stared at me.
I kept my gaze low and found anan empty seat on the third row.
Thank goodness.

wow! I can't believe I was in Alpha High.
I wonder what grade the loverboys were in. I wish we could have the same grade.

After a short while, a teacher came in and all the students settled down.

"Good morning, Mrs Smith" few of the students greeted as she walked up to the front of the class and kept her books on the table.

"Good morning, students. How was the weekend?" She replied and asked.

"Boring".
"Nice"
"Okay".
Some of the students chorused a reply while some chuckled.

"Okay, okay. However it was" Mrs Smith replied.
"By the way, we're having a new student in our midst today.
Miss Jeanne, could you step out for a brief introduction, please?" She said, staring at me and I took in a deep breath and stood up.

I sauntered to the front of the class and turned, facing the students and now I had the opportunity to take a proper look at them.

Wow!
They all looked rich and charming and flirty too.

"Your name, miss" Mrs Smith said and I shook my head.

"Uhn...I'm Jeanne Raymond" I replied a little shyly.

"Okay. Jeanne. Welcome to Alpha High. You can have your seat" she said to me and I smiled and returned to my seat.

She commenced teaching and after that, we had two more subjects and it was break time.

Students started walking out in pairs and I also stood up and thought of going to the canteen.
Hm. It seems all the students here are just bumptious as none of them even cared to pay any attention to me.

I took my books from the table and was about going out of the class when a pretty lady came in and walked up to me.

"Hi. You must be Jeanne, right?" She asked and I nodded, Wondering who she was.
She was chewing a gum and looked classic.

"Okay. I'm Carissa. And I've been assigned by Mr Mark to show you around the school" she said and I flinched.
Huh?
Such a classic girl showing me around the school?

"Uhm...you don't have to worry about that miss." I tried speaking.
"I can just make use of the..."

"Oh, please; don't in any way feel like I'm being stressed out or something. It's part of my course and will only add to my G.P when I'm done. So, it's for my own good" she cut in and I sighed and nodded.

"Come with me" she said lowly and started walking out of the class and I followed her behind.

She looked and sounded strict, but normally, she was a jovial person.

She took me to the vital places in the school - the sports hall, the lab, the library, the bookstore and other interesting places.

"This is the sports hall." She told me when we entered the enormous sports hall.
It was very big and had so many sporting materials.

"Our sport days are Wednesdays" she added and I just nodded and looked around.

"Uhm...do the loverboys also come down for sports on Wednesdays?" I asked and she looked at me and smiled.

"Everybody always wants them to. But unfortunately, they only come down once in a blue pretty moon" she replied and I smiled and nodded.
Too bad.

"You're also crushing on them, right?" She asked as we left the sports hall.
I blushed in a smile.

"Every body loves the loverboys" I replied.

"Oh; that's true.
Why don't we grab lunch together?" She asked and I hesitated for a while.

"Uh...okay. sure" I replied and she smiled and led me to the canteen.

The canteen was very big and pretty and was filled up with students.
But it wasn't too crowded or noisy.

Carissa and I found a suitable seat and she left to order our meal and returned with a big tray.

"What grade are the loverboys?" I asked as I took my own plate of banana split. .

"Oh; they're actually in your grade" she replied and my eyes beamed.
What?

"But..."

"Yes they don't always attend classes" she cut in, knowing what I wanted to say.
Oh-oh.

"Why?" I asked despondently.
"Well, that's because they don't like mixing up with others, at least not all the time.
But loverboys like Carl, Daniel and Malcolm do attend classes a little often. But someone like Alex...gosh! It's only once in a pink moon. And that pink moon's actually when the class is being handled by Mr Leonard".

I chuckled and looked at her.
"Mr Leonard?" I asked .
"Yes. He's the further maths teacher. He's the only one who can actually make Alex attend classes. That's because he's very strict and hard and doesn't tolerate any partial treatment. He believes every student must be treated equally. And as a result, he's Alex's worst enemy" she replied and I scoffed.

Wow!
I really can't wait for the maths class.
According to the time table, we'd be having further maths by tomorrow.
Oh, my!
Hopefully, Alex will be there.

"It's amazing, right? Attending the same school with the loverboys" she asked and I smiled and nodded.

"Uhm...Carissa" I called.
"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. What is it?"

I cleared my throat a little.

"Do you have any idea what happened between Alex and Theo?" I asked.

TBC.
What do you think might have happened between Alex and Theo? Find out by reading episode 3 here - https://youngicee.com/2020/05/the-loverboys-episode-2.html

The Vipers Girl

( You mess with the wrong person )

By Hossana Isaac O.

(Hossy Korean Series)

Chapter 2

•••••••••••••••Rosa•••••••••••••••••

I woke up neatly tucked in bed with my crutches over the bedside table

I must have slept off and maybe the maid tucked me in

I sat up and stretched my arms then yawned

#Me : good morning

I have this attitude of saying good morning as my first sentence when I wake up even when I'm alone

I took the blanket off my body and stared at my legs

I sighed and covered them back with the blanket

The bed is really huge and soft.

The bed covers are light blue

The room itself is painted with light blue and white

At the end of the room was a closet

And just adjacent the closet was where I guessed would be the bathroom

I should definitely check this room out

I gently placed my feet on the cold but smooth floor

I smiled as I grabbed my crutches and balanced on them

I began to walk gently towards the closet

I reached it and opened it

Wow

This should be like a mini boutique when it's filled with clothes

I didn't bother moving in because it was empty, except for the hangers

I turned and moved toward the bathroom

I opened it and gawked at the sight I beheld

#Me : oh my goodness, I love this

I moved in and stared at every infrastructure in the bathroom

It was really large

Like my former bedroom

Everything was white

The floor was plain white and a little bit rough

Maybe to make it less slippery

It was demarcated into two parts

One on the left and the other on the right

I moved to the left first, it had a glass wall

I didn't know how or where to open it

I frowned in frustration

I moved to the other one which had a long white curtain

I found the entrance and moved in

My eyes met a large bathtub first

Then a glass room with a shower in it

Other things were there but I don't know their names

I turned to go when I saw a television

#Me : what? A television? In here? Why?

I stood watching it surprisingly

I shook my head and moved out of the whole bathroom

I met a maid in the room arranging the curtains

I was startled at first because I wasn't expecting to see anybody

The maid turned and saw me

She bowed and my eyes widened

Is she bowing to me?

#Maid : good morning ma'am

#Me : oh no. Please, don't call me that. I'm Rosa, call me Rosa

I bowed too

#Maid : I'm sorry ma'am, but boss has ordered us to respect you so I don't have another choice

I frowned a little

I knew it was Bad Boy who gave them the order and I didn't want him to punish her for disobeying him

#Me : okay. I'm sorry for trying to make you disobey him

#Maid : it's okay ma'am. Please it's almost time for breakfast. You can just wash up and come downstairs

I twitched my lips

#Me : can't I just have breakfast here? I only have one clothing and that's what I'm wearing

She moved to the bed and brought a bag

#Maid : you can just wear this for now

She stretched forth the bag

I leaned on my right crutch and took it from her

#Me : thank you

She bowed and left saying she would come back in 30 mins

I moved to the bed and sat down then opened the bag

It was a blue dress

I dropped it and moved to the bathroom

I sighed when I got in

#Me : this is going to be a very long and stressful bath

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Finally, I got out of the bathroom

And I think I almost spoilt some things because I couldn't use them but wanted to try

After spending ten minutes touching things that began to malfunction, I decided to just use the shower

Even the shower was a problem

The one I know is just to turn a knob and water will start falling

But this one is something else

So many buttons and handles

I didn't even know what to touch

In order not to regret anything, I began to read the signs on each of the buttons till I found the one I wanted

Water began to fall from the shower head

I smiled and pressed the button and it stopped

I began to laugh in victory

I hurriedly took my shower and left

I looked at the wall clock on the wall

#Me : I've spent twenty minutes already?

I quickly wore the dress without applying lotion because there was none

A knock came on the door

#Me : you can come in

The maid walked in

#Maid : are you ready ma'am?

I nodded and stood up

She smiled as I walked towards her slowly

We left the room and walked down the hallway a little

We got to an elevator

#Maid : we'll have to use the elevator because you can't walk down the stairs with your crutches

I nodded and began to bite my lips

This happens when I'm nervous

I've never entered an elevator before

And I overheard some kids in my neighborhood saying that it makes people throw up

I swallowed a lump as I stepped in with her

It closed as she was pressing a button

I began to hear an engine sound but didn't feel anything

I wanted to ask the maid why it refused to move but the door opened and she stepped out

My face puzzled up

I stepped out involuntarily and she gestured for me to follow her

So we're already downstairs?

Wow

The elevator isn't bad at all and it's stress-free

#Maid : this is the dinning area. The table is already set so you can just eat

She moved a chair back for me and bowed

#Maid : if you need anything, you can just call the chief maid using that telephone

She pointed to a telephone on the wall

I nodded and she left

I was already sitting down on the chair but I was still nervous

I'm scared of seeing Bad Boy

I don't know what to do if I see him

Should I stand up and bow?

Or I should start thanking him for helping yesternight?

What if he gets irritated by the way I eat since I don't eat with etiquette

Or maybe he was drunk when he helped me last night

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even uncover the food

It was when maids started passing by that I became conscious of myself and uncovered the food

It was seafood salad

Shrimps and grits

With sardines and a few of salmon

I smiled and took the cutlery

I really love seafood

I began to eat happily

I can't even remember the last time I ate like this

It's so delicious

I thank God that I learnt how to use cutlery to eat or I'll still be staring at the food

I heard movements behind me and I quickly looked back

I breathed in when I saw that it wasn't Bad Boy

It was just a janitor trying to mop the floor

I faced my food again and finished it

I took the juice and gulped it down quickly

I decided to leave the plates on the table because no one was in sight

I took my crutches again and balanced on them

To be honest I hate these things

It's frustrating

I just can't wait to start walking by myself

I wanted to go back inside but couldn't because of the stairs

And I don't know how to use the elevator

I turned and moved through a partition then I came out in the living room

I gasped again

Wow

Bad Boy does have high taste

I heard his father is a top engineer in Europe so I'm not surprised at the way his house is

He should be super rich

A different maid walked towards my direction

#Maid : good morning ma'am. Would you like to watch the television?

Why are all these maids being nice to me?

I'm not use to it and I feel a little bit uncomfortable

#Me : no, it's okay. I don't want to watch the TV

She bowed and I frowned

#Maid : if you want anything, you can order me to do them now

#Me : uhm, I don't want anything. I just want to ask a question

#Maid : go ahead Miss

#Me : where is Bad Boy? Is he out yet?

#Maid : Bad Boy doesn't live here. He just comes like once in a blue moon

I was surprised

I thought this was his house

But why keep such a place if he doesn't make use of it

#Me : when last did he come here?

#Maid : apart from this morning that he came for just five minutes, we haven't seen him for like five months

#Me : and you live here?

#Maid : yes Miss

#Me : wow....

#Maid: I'll just go and do some chores

I nodded and she bowed and left

So this isn't his actual house

Then where exactly does he live

I shrugged and sat on a cushion in the living room

••••••••••••••••Bad Boy••••••••••••••••

I dialed one of my men's number to ask about the progression of the weapons we were to smuggle in

A top official needs some thugs and he came to meet me for the job

I told him we needed weapons and he settled me amicably

Now that's a blow on Ron's face

He thinks he can overtake me?

Hahaha

Never going to happen

I sat on the rocking chair and waited for him to pick the call

My hands were filled with rings and boyish bracelets

My feet were clad in heavy sneakers

As usual, I was wearing black

My favorite color

Finally he picked the call

hello boss

are the weapons here yet?

I was just about to call you sir. They've arrived undetected

bravo! Send them to the hideout Immediately

okay boss

I hung up and laughed

The guards around me smiled

It was quite obvious I just entered my good mood

And I usually favor them when I'm happy

I quickly called the man

hello Mr Yoon

Bad Boy

your weapons have arrived but we need money to settle the men who did the job

but I thought I've settled you the way you want it?

no buts mister. I don't have the time to give you the analysis but if you want this job done, do as I say

okay, how much do you want?

any amount you think is good for Bad Boy

He laughed

I know what you want. I'll send the money right away

I smirked and hung up

Then I shouted to the men in the house

#Me: everyone, we're going to party . Find your way to the club

They began to cheer and raise their guns in jubilation

I took my keys and made my way to my car

I made another phone call to Ms Tim, telling her to get me the most beautiful and sexy girls to spend my money with

I love having my fun with more than one girl

I most times have it as a party

Tonight is going to be hot

•••••••••••••Rosa••••••••••••

It's already 9pm, Bad Boy still didn't come

Not that I want him to come but I was expecting him to

I thought he'll check up on me

I went back to my room after watching a movie in the living room.

I figured out how to use an elevator

I opened the door to my room and sighed when I saw the shopping bags on my bed

I haven't arranged the clothes into the closet yet

It was the chief maid that ordered them for me

I moved in to my room fully and took the bags to the floor

Then I sat down

I began to hear voices in the hallway

A masculine voice was amidst it

I stood up and walked hurriedly with my crutches to the door

I opened it and peeped

I gasped when I saw Bad Boy in the company of two girls dressed like harlots

They were caressing him as he staggered to a room

I frowned and went back inside

#Me : what a fool. You didn't even care to check on me. I thought you were busy, but you're with your bitches again

I slammed the door and walked back to the bed

I sat on it roughly and suddenly started feeling bad

It's obvious that my existence means nothing to anyone

I have no worth

The only person who saw me useful was mom, and she died because I couldn't take her to the hospital

I feel cursed

I began to cry into my pillow until I slept off

•••••••••••••Bad Boy•••••••••••••

I paid the bitches off and they left at dawn

They're even amateur

I hate that

I got down from the bed and washed up

I don't even know where I am

This isn't my clubhouse where I normally bring my girls

I really drank to stupor last night so I don't think I was in my right mind when I came here

Fortunately, my clothes were in the closet

This should be one of my houses that I hardly enter because these clothes are old ones

I slipped into black shorts and a black vest

I took my black flip-flops which were hairy and walked to the door

I entered the hallway and looked up to see a girl with crutches gawking at me

I stopped and frowned at her

She isn't a maid

What is she doing here?

#Me: why are you staring at me coldly?

She shuddered and moved backwards

She began to bow

#Girl: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry

I frowned again

What a weirdo

Why is she repeating words?

I looked at her leg

Wait...

I looked at her face again

Isn't this the girl I took to the hospital?

#Me: aren't you the girl that was shot and I....

I couldn't complete my statement because she was moving back and she lost balance on her crutches so she fell with a scream

I groaned angrily

I watched her

She couldn't stand up

I sighed and bent down

She was visibly scared of me

Now I remember, I saw her on the streets and brought her

But I did it out of drunkenness

She should be glad I didn't rape her

#Me: you're really clumsy and stupid not to hold yourself well. Your punishment is you have to get yourself up or wait till someone comes this way and helps you up

She stared at me as I stood up and I felt her eyes following me till I went out of sight

I. I'm not seeing any workers around yet

Seems she's going to stay there till I change my mind and help her up

It's not my fault she's crippled anyway

Literature / The Loverboys by Oyinprince(m): 11:26pm On May 19, 2020
� The Loverboys�

(What happened to them?)

By: Faith Lucky.

Episode 1

Jeanne's Pov:

‘Come on, Jeanne; you’re too slow. Does it really have to take you ages to get me a cup of coffee?’

Susan groused as I hurried with a cup of coffee to her.

'‘And where are the headphones I asked for?’ Ivy asked, opening her palms.

‘Sorry, Ivy; but I couldn’t find them in the room’ I replied dazily, , touching my forehead.

‘What? Have you gone blind? What do you mean you couldn’t find it?’ she groused.

‘Come on girls. Maybe the fact that she is going to the Alpha High School has suddenly made her blind’, their mom said and they laughed lightly.

‘I wonder why she insisted on going there. Does she think she will be able to win any of the lover boys?’ Ivy asked and they laughed again.

I bent my head and sniffed.

No, I couldn’t afford shedding a tear; not on a special day like this.

‘Enough of the jokes; I’ve warned you to stop doing this’, I heard his voice and I smiled to see the only man I could call family.

Although, he wasn’t my biological family, he had insisted I call him dad. Whenever he’s around, his wife and daughters never get to bully me.

He climbed down the stairs into the sitting room and touched my hair.

‘Are you ready?’ he asked and I nodded with a smile and took my bag from the table.

I looked at his daughters and their faces were already swollen with rage.

I bent my head and walked out of the room with dad – Mr. Raymond.

Mr. Raymond is actually my adopted father. He told me he had found me lying close to the river banks four years ago and he had taken me to the hospital.

But when I regained consciousness, I lost my memories and couldn’t recall a single thing from my past. So, I had no idea where I came from.

Mr. Raymond had even put me up on TV but no one came for me. So, he took me in as his daughter but his wife and kids never accepted me for once. They all saw me as a nuisance and didn’t want to associate with me.

His kids actually study abroad, but just come over for the long vacation.

I’m just a sad, lonely girl who wonders where her family might be and why they never came for her.

Well, thank God I fell into the hands of someone as kind as Mr. Raymond.

Right now, I’m going to Alpha High School and you wouldn’t believe the millions he spent just to get me admitted.

It’s actually one of the best schools in the country, but unfortunately, Mr. Raymond is a very busy person and he travels out of the country a lot. As a matter of fact, he will be leaving the country again by tomorrow, and that’s quite sad for me because, each time he isn’t around, his wife and kids make my life a living hell.

I got into the car with dad and sat at the back seat. Then, I let out a sweet wide smile.

For once, I had the opportunity to be happy about going to the Alpha High School.

It’s a school for only the rich;like, very rich and I only got lucky because Mr. Raymond is one of the rich.

I connected my headphones as my dad started the car.

Yeah, that’s me; I’m actually a music freak. I love singing with passion.

I played one of my favorite songs as I closed my eyes, enjoying the song. It was “kiss me again” by The Loverboys.

Okay, who are the love boys?

The Love Boys is the most popular band in the US, originally made up of five young, crazily handsome and sparingly wealthy boys – Theo, Alex, Carl, Daniel and Malcolm.

Wondering why I said “originally”?

Well, that’s because Theo is no longer with them. He unexplainably left the band four years ago, and since then, nobody has ever heard from him again.

He was actually the leader of the band, but since he left, Alex took over as the leader.

According to what, I heard, Alex and Theo were childhood friends and were both lovers of music and as a result, their parents teamed up and signed up with the Alpha Records and opened a band – The Love Boys.

Then Carl, Daniel and Malcolm who were also close friends of theirs back then, also joined the band.

So, the Love Boys started at a very young age and they were doing pretty well.

But, uncannily, things changed about them and it all started four years ago. Nobody knows exactly what happened, but we’re all sure something big must have transpired between them, especially Theo and Alex.

Theo uncannily left the band and since he left, Alex also changed. Alex was a happy flirty guy, but since Theo left, that happy personality of his died off, and he became a sad quiet introvert.

I even heard he was forced by his parents to take over as the band leader.

Another strange thing that happened since Theo left is that, all the girlfriends Alex ever had all ended up dead.

Yes, since Theo left, he’s had about two girlfriends and they all ended up dead and as a result, he’s been abstaining from the company of girls. He’s been trying as much as possible to avoid any contact with girls and I actually heard even in the Love Boy’s mansion, there are no female workers there; even their cook is a boy.

I really wonder what could have happened between him and Theo, and what could also be the cause of the death of the ladies he loved. Or, could it be just a coincidence? Or could there really be something or someone behind it? And why did it start happening after Theo left?

Well, it’s not like what happened stopped Alex from being the ladies’ crush. The Love Boys were all charming, but Alex was the cutest, trust me, I play his video every day.

But when Theo was around, I heard it was difficult making a choice between him and Alex because they were both charming and breathtaking.

Trust me, if I were to choose between Theo and Alex, I wouldn’t know why to choose.

Too bad Theo left, but it’s a good thing Alex was still around to fill up the space. But, I’m still wondering why Theo left and where he is.

Will he ever come back?

‘We’re here’, my dad’s voice broke into my thoughts and I opened my eyes and discovered that we had already gotten to the Alpha High School.

Oh, heavens!

Was this a school or a hotel?

Jesus!

I came out of the car and stood like a statue looking around with amusement.

This building was magnificent. it looks prettier than it seems on TV and magazines. I can’t believe I’m actually here.

AHS - Alpha High School is owned by Alpha Records, the company where the Love Boys worked under.

People from outside the country travel down here just to attend AHS because they get to see their superstars almost every day.

I heard they Love Boys move around very freely over here and are only accompanied by the guards on rare occasions. But, I also heard that Alex is rarely seen.

He always isolates himself from everyone, and on most occasions, he doesn’t attend classes. He had really turned out to be an introvert.

But whenever he comes around, they entire place is always set on ovation, and I also heard some female students even end up collapsing.

I hope I also get to meet face to face with him one day.

Dad held my hand as we headed for the Principal’[s office and I couldn’t stop admiring the entire place. Securities were everywhere and pretty boys and girls could be seen walking in pairs and taking pictures.

Dad and I got to the principal’s office but at that time, he was kind of settling an issue between two parents and their kids. So, we were asked to wait outside.

We sat on the three-seater chair outside the office together with one other man and I just couldn’t wait to see the principal so that he'd assign me to my class.

While we were seated there, three pretty ladies walked by and one of them had Alex’s name written on her hand.

Wow!

Seriously?

Then, two other boys walked by and they were talking about Kimberly.

OH Kimberly.

My role model!

She was my teacher at the Love girls – a female music band created from the Love Boys.

It was made up of eight girls and Kimberly Percival was they leader.

She’s actually my best song-writer and I love her so much.

I hope I also get to meet her here as well.

The meeting in the office was taking long and I was kind of getting impatient already.

I stood up and walked to the window in the passage, taking a look outside. I was so beautiful.

I looked back at dad and he was busy with his laptop.

well, like I said, he’s a very busy person.

Then, I decided to take a look around. Yes, just around the passage. I started walking and noticed the passages were free of students. They were probably in class.

I came to a staircase and sat by it bringing out a book from my bag, it was my song book.

I opened it and started writing new lyrics that came to my mind while I sat. I really love singing a lot, and I wish I would have an opportunity to explore it.

I was still writing in my song book when I heard a soft sound that caught my attention.

It seemed someone was playing they keyboard.

I listened carefully and noticed it was coming from upstairs.

Who could it be?

It was so enchanting.

I stood up and slowly, I started climbing the stairs.

As I drew nearer, the sound got clearer and it kept bemusing me.

But just as I finished climbing the stairs, I saw a signboard that read:

"Restricted area.

Stay back".

Huh?

Oh-oh.

But there was someone in. Why does it have to be restricted?

I stood still and the sound of the keyboard kept enchanting me.

Only an expert can play this good.

It was a slow emotional song and I wondered who it could it be.

There was a big room ahead and the door was slightly open and it was obvious the sound was coming from there.

I looked around and couldn't find anyone.

Then, creepily, I walked pass the signboard and entered the room.

Like I said earlier, it was big and at the entrance were just scattered books, shelves ,canters, cartoons and papers. It looked more like a storage room.

I walked further and finally, I found the expert. Hah!

At last.

I smiled and looked at him and...wait!

Isn't that...

Oh, my God!

It's Alex.

Whaat?

I quickly ran and hid behind a canter.

Oh, my God!

Am I dreaming or what? am I really looking at Alex with my bare eyes?

The leader of the Loverboys?

It's a good thing he was backing me, else, I'd have been caught.

Oh, my!

No wonder it was a restricted area.

He wanted to be alone.

He always wants to be alone.

Then that means I shouldn't be here. If I get caught, I'm definitely going to get punished.

But at that moment, I couldn't help but admire him.

Despite the fact he was backing me, I could still manage to have a side view of his face.

Oh, my!

He was so charming and cute.

He had a tattoo on his neck and a diamond ring on his ear.

Now I understand why the sound was so emotional.

All the songs he led have always been emotional.

All the ladies have been dying for him. But too bad they only get to see him from a distance or on TV since he doesn't like associating with girls anymore.

I heard it's kind of made him cold hearted to some extent.

I wonder what really happened to them.

Suddenly, he stopped playing and I wondered why.

I was kind of enjoying it.

"Do you realise this is a restricted area?" He asked and I swear, my heart stopped beating.

What?

Does he know I'm here?

I gasped and turned around in fear, leaning my back on the canter.

Oh, God!

How did this happen?

Episode 84 continues

"That's good Daniel," Agent Steve's voice sounded from the other end. "So, haven't you read the news today?"

"Yes, I haven't."

"You won't believe what's trending."

"What's that boss?"

"The dead bodies of Antonio Carlos and Vincent Shawn have been found," Steve said to him.

___

"What the hell is this?" Henry cursed under his breath at the back seat of the cab where he was sitting alone. He had wasted his at the bar and now he was held in traffic, the vehicle had not moved in fifteen minutes and there were no signs that there would be movement soon.

He had gone through the details Cole sent to him and had confirmed Cole's plan to get the man as a good one, so he wasn't in a hurry to get to the club. What kept him uncomfortable was remembering the reason he had wasted so much time, it annoyed him that he could spend so much time thinking about a lady he was not supposed to have feelings for.

He was however sure everything he felt would soon disappear, he chose to believe he only felt that way since he had not seen Sheila for a long time and had hurt her the last time they spoke to each other.

His phone rang and distracted him from his thoughts. He took it out and checked the caller, it was Dave.

"Hey boss!"

"Dave, what's the news?"

"When last did you speak with Samantha and the guy?"

Henry frowned, wondering why Dave was asking.

"After I landed in El Deols," he answered. "Why do you ask?"

"They haven't gotten here, I tried to trace them and found their vehicle dumped on the Bexford-Kala road. There are no signs of them around there," Dave reported.

"Are you serious?" Henry exclaimed under his breath.

The Vipers Girl

(you mess with the wrong person)

By Hossana Isaac O

(Hossy Korean Series)

#Chapter 1

______________________________________

ROSA'S POV

I'm a loser

That's what I am

No body wants me

I'm I that of a bad luck

I'm I that cursed

My life sucks

I sat down under a shade and bent my head to cry

I've just been kicked out of the school I manage to attend

The fee isn't much but I still can't pay because I don't have anything doing

I live with my step mother who's really poor

She doesn't have a child so I'm her only family

She loves me a lot and I'm grateful she's not like other step mothers

And now she's sick, how I'm I going to take her to the hospital

A dime isn't even on me

I'm so useless

Let me introduce myself

I'm Rosalyn

Mostly called Rosa

I'm nineteen years old

Tall

Long hair which I don't take care of

And I'm ugly

Well I'm not really ugly

I'm beautiful but because of my condition, I'm looking really tattered

The sky turned dark

It's going to rain

I got up and began to walk down the street

I began to hear shouts and people running towards my direction

Then I began to hear gun shots

Are they having a fight again?

In this part of Seoul, they are two main terrorist gang

The vipers and the red light

These two gangs hate each other so much

Always fighting and killing each other's men

Though the vipers are more dangerous, especially their leader Bad Boy

He's a terror

Everyone is afraid of him

Just the mention of his name can make the youngest child cry endlessly

In fact, the stories I've heard about him are terrible

I don't even want to meet him in my entire life

Girl: Rosa run, the vipers are coming

That was my neighbor who ran past me

I came back to my senses and tried to run

Unfortunately, a stray bullet met my thigh

I winced in pain and fell down

Other people began to run faster after they sighted me on the ground

I looked at my leg and I was bleeding terribly

I began to cry

I looked ahead and saw their convoy coming

Oh no, I'm in big trouble

This is the end

Me: Good bye mom. I'm sorry I can't take you to the hospital. I'm sorry I won't be there for you anymore. I'm sorry

I was crying profusely

Their convoy parked beside me

It opened and I saw two legs climbing down

I looked up and saw him

Bad Boy

.

(Next Day)

I woke up in a hospital

My eyes opened and I found out that I was still alive

I looked at my leg

It was bandaged up

I sighed

Thank God I'm alive

I'll see mom again

I wonder how long I've been here

Luckily a nurse came in

Nurse: you're awake

Me: yes

Nurse: does your leg hurt?

She moved to me and examined my leg

Me: yes

Nurse: don't worry. It will soon come back to normal. Just a month or so

Me: how long have I been here?

Nurse: two days

Me: who brought me here?

Nurse: Bad Boy

My eyes widened

Me: Bad Boy

She smiled

Nurse : you should rest

She patted my shoulder and left

Bad Boy brought me here?

Why I'm I so unfortunate?

Well at least he didn't let me die

Maybe I'm just lucky

I can't wait to see mom

She'd be worried sick now

.

(Next day)

Isn't my life the worst?

My step mom is dead

She died that same day

I couldn't even get to say goodbye

My mom is dead

Life is so unfair

First it didn't allow me to know my real mom because she died when I was born

Then it took my dad away on my fifteen year old birthday

Now the woman I have come to love as my mom is also dead

She's in the morgue

I don't even have the money to pay for the morgue fee

I would have gone to borrow some money but this crutches make me feel like a human turtle

And this house makes me feel so lonely

I dropped my crutches and sat on the couch

My landlord entered without even knocking

Me: good afternoon sir

I bowed

LL : Rosa, after your mom's funeral, you'll have to leave here. You guys are owing too much. I can't let you stay because you won't be able to pay

Me: sir ...ill try to pay. I'll work

LL : work? How long will you work? You won't be able to cover all the debts. I'm sorry Rosa, but after tomorrow you won't be staying here anymore.

He then left

I began to cry

It's true, I won't be able to pay the debts

I wanna die

(The cemetery)

I watched as my beloved mom was fixed into the wall that was built for fixing in coffins

The opening was covered and her picture placed in a glass beside it

My face was already soaked and swollen

I quickly turned back and wanted to leave

I began to walk on my crutches as I made my way out

I wouldn't have even been able to pay for anything here but a good Samaritan helped me

I don't even know the person

Maybe he or she heard about my predicament

But I guess the person forgot to pay my house rent

I walked to the house and saw that it was already locked with my things outside

I sighed and walked further

It was already getting late

I just felt like going around to relief myself instead of sitting in one place and mourning

The sky was already dark and I was still walking around with my crutches

I came to a place and sat down beside the road

I actually fell asleep

When I woke up, the road was already empty

No cars were passing and everywhere was quiet

I began to feel afraid

I'm all alone in the dark

What if something terrible happens to me

I better find refuge somewhere

I took my crutches and began to walk slowly down the street

I saw headlights from afar

The car was coming really fast

I left the road to the pedestrian way

The car was black

It got really close and it was really fast

Me: what a rugged driver

I muttered as I stood still for it to pass

It drove past me but suddenly stopped

I became scared

I began to walk at fast as I could with the crutches

The car began to reverse

My heart was beating loud

The car stopped in front of me

I swallowed a lump in my throat

It opened and someone with dark shades stepped out. I wonder who wears shades at night

I moved back and bowed

I looked up and he removed his shades

My jaw dropped

Me: Bad Boy

Bad Boy : hi

He smiled

Or maybe this isn't him

I don't think he smiles

Bad Boy : why are you outside by this time?

I looked down

Bad Boy : should I tell you why I'm outside?

I didn't talk because I was terrified

Maybe I would even faint now

Bad Boy : I just came back from my club. Those bitches all most drained me out

I looked up

Bitches?

Was he with girls?

He saw the look on my face and began to laugh

I moved back again

Bad Boy : sorry about your mom and your leg

He looked at my crutches and back to my face

Me: thank you

Bad Boy : you need somewhere to sleep tonight. I'll give you a place

Me: what?? No, I'm okay. I'll just .........

Bad Boy : get into the car

It was more like an order

I shuddered

I'm so scared

What if he does something bad with me?

I can't trust this guy

He moved towards me and took my crutches

I screamed and almost fell but he held my waist with one hand and the crutches with the other

I blinked repeatedly

He helped me to the car

Opened the back door and dropped the crutches

Me: please, leave me alone. Please I'm begging you

He smirked and opened the other door

He carried me up and sat me down then closed it

He sat on the drivers seat and drove off

I didn't say anything anymore neither did he

I couldn't even turn to look at his face

I looked at the glove box and saw weapons of mass destruction

I gasped and he frowned at me

Bad Boy : don't touch anything

He looked away

I swallowed and sat still

We reached a mansion and he parked

He got out and carried me out

He gave me my crutches

Bad Boy : let's go

He walked ahead of me and was walking fast

He stopped and looked back

I was far behind

He sighed and came back

He carried me up and left the crutches outside

We entered the house and I gasped

Where is this place?

We entered the elevator and went upstairs

He opened a door and it was a bedroom

Bad Boy : you're staying here

He dropped me on the bed and looked around

Bad Boy : a Maid will bring your crutches for you. She'll also help you with some things

He made for the door

Me: Bad Boy...

He looked back

Me: thank you

He smirked and opened the door and left

I fell on the bed

Wow

Bad Boy lives here?

Awesome

Restless - Episode 84


® 18+ SNVL
© Oyinloye Oluwatosin Emmanuel

18: 32PM
El Deols, Anthanna.

"Wow! I've not seen such a movie in a long while," Sheila commented after the end of the four hours movie.

Adrian let out a deep breath, his eyes watery and his face full of satisfaction from the movie they had just seen.

"I haven't either, but I expected it to be this beautiful since it's a Youngicee production." Adrian said, cleaning his face gently with his palm.

"Yeah, their works are always perfect." she said as she got up from the seat. She picked the empty container of banana chips and the pack of juice they had both eaten from while they saw the movie. "I have to check the maid now, she should be preparing dinner already, I'll be back in some minutes."

"Alright Sheila," he said as he watched her walk away.

He let in a breath after she walked out of sight. He wished there could be a happy love story between him and Sheila just like what they had seen in the movie. A love story of so many challenges but ending up with victories.

He was ready to love Sheila with all of his life but he didn't know about her. He couldn't tell yet why she was being so kind to him, it could be probably because of the accident or she could just be trying to make him not feel so bad after rejecting him. Whatever it was, he hoped she made it clear enough for him to see soon. He was already falling deeper for her and he f was afraid he was about to go crazy.

He however felt the present night was going to make him know if his love for Sheila was going to yield any fruits or if he had to forget everything about it.

­­­___

Henry's eyes scanned around for the flowers section as he got in through the entrance of the grocery store. It had taken him time to decide how to appear to Sheila, since it had been a long time they saw each other. He thought of what to take to her as gift and found it difficult to make a choice because he realized that the gift he could impress Sheila with was not necessarily something expensive for she had enough money to buy expensive things herself. He finally decided to buy her a flower, but he wasn't sure of which type to get and if it was appropriate to present flowers at evenings.

"Hi," he said to the woman behind the counter at the flowers shop.

"Hello," she sang in reply. "You want some flowers?"

He nodded.

"So, what's the occasion?" she asked as she stepped down from the stool she was sitting on. "Is it your wedding anniversary or your wife's birthday or what special occasion is it?"

Henry smiled, looking at the flowers arranged in the shelves. He found it funny to think of Sheila as his wife and for that moment, his late wife Sarah did not cross his mind.

"Ermm, I've been away for a long time and she has not really been happy with me." Henry replied. "I need something that..."

"Oh! I know what you need," the woman sang and danced round in a circle before moving to the shelf. "You need something so romantic and something that can appease her as well."

Henry smiled.

It took her close to two minutes to make a choice and she brought it to the counter.

"Here, this has a card in it." she said as she removed the card attached.

To my love,

It's been a long time and I know I have not been the best of myself

But I want you to know that you never left my heart for a single day

I sleep dreaming and wake up thinking about you,

My heart yearning and my soul longing for you in every way

For the imaginations of you to me is better than the greatest piece of art,

The thoughts of you and our memories is the best thing I keep in my heart,

I hope these words provides some warmth in your heart for me

And make you overlook all the days that I've kept you lonely

Yours truly.




The woman smiled sheepishly after reading the content of the card and she placed it back. Henry smiled back, not knowing what to say. He felt somehow that the content of the card was not appropriate since he and Sheila weren't lovers but for some reasons unexplainable to himself, he did not reject it. He took the flowers with him and paid her before walking out of the store happily.

__

"Dinner is almost ready," Sheila announced as she walked back into the living room. "It should be done in fifteen minutes time."

Adrian smiled without saying anything. His eyes followed Sheila as she walked back to where she was sitting previously, the one-seater which was close but adjacent to the three seater where he sat.

"So, are you staying over or do you still want to go home?" Sheila asked him, hoping he would pick the first option.

"No Sheila, you've done enough for me already, I have to go home." He replied.

"Why do you insist on going home?" she said with a sad face and got up to join him on the three seater sofa. She sat close to him with less than ten centimetres space between them.

"I have to Sheila, I can't stay here. You need to understand that," he insisted.

He saw her twisting her face in a disappointing tone and held her by the wrist as she tried to get up. He pulled her down gently and she sat. He squeezed her palm in his and reached for the second hand, she let him take it.

He stared her straight in the eyes but she looked away.

"Sheila, my feelings for you have continued to grow even though I try to suppress it." He began to pour out his heart. "I don't know but it seems staying close to you may lead to a great heartache for me since you don't feel the same way. I have to stay far away from you for a while, maybe until I get myself back and I'm able to stare at you without my heart beating and wanting you."

"Stay away from me?" She raised a brow and turned her face to him, staring him back in the eyes.

"Yeah, for a short while, it could help me bring myself out of this insanity and make me see you just as a friend instead of wanting more.' Adrian said, shaking his head.

Sheila was quiet.

Their faces were so close and their lips were few centimetres apart, from a kiss. Adrian felt it was his opportunity for him to make a further move but he was scared, he didn't want to spoil what was left of what they had together. His heart began to beat faster than usual and his eyes blinked.

He brought his lips closer slowly to hers and took the bold move, touching her soft lips with his gently. She responded for the first few seconds but broke away quickly.

Henry stopped at the entrance of the house and took in a deep breath, he made a sign of the cross before proceeding in. He had a smile on his lips. He had rehearsed everything he was going to say to her and prayed it went as planned.

Adrian breathed so hard after the break, feeling so embarrassed. "I'm sorry Sheila, I need to..."

He tried to get up from the chair but she pulled him closer this time and planted her lips on his, leaning her body against his chest as he leaned back against the armrest. Her hands curved around his neck while his hands wrapped her waist gently.

Henry could hear faint sounds of the television from the living room as he moved closer. He made his way in and took only few steps when he saw the couple on the sofa. The flower placed behind him dropped as his jaw. He watched for few seconds as Sheila leaning over the guy kissed so fiercely while he pressed her body softly against his, both so consumed in the passion that they didn't notice he had entered silently.

He took in a deep breath and turned. He picked the floor and walked back out of the house, unknowingly leaving the small card on the floor where the flower dropped.

He proceeded quickly towards the gate, feeling somewhat awkward, disappointed and broken at the same time.

"Sir, didn't you meet her inside?" the guard at the gate who had seen him enter asked.

"No, I didn't go in yet." Henry lied, faking a smile. "I forgot something I'm supposed to give to her and I need to go get it first."

"Oh! I see," the man said as he opened the smaller entrance of the gate for him. "Are you returning soon?"

"Ermm... Maybe not, probably tomorrow." Henry replied.

"Okay."

"Please, don't tell her I was here. I want it to be a surprise," he said to the gateman, faking another smile.

"Oh! Sure, I won't let her know." the guard said as he watched Henry walk to the road side. He felt something was amiss as he stepped back in and locked the gate. He shrugged and walked back into his office.

The kiss was so intense and slow, Adrian's palms advanced to her bum and pressed it softly. It lasted for some more seconds before she drew back. She pecked him lightly on the lips again before detaching from him.

She got up and straightened her gown. "I have to check what's happening in the kitchen now."

Adrian nodded gently and watched as she walked away. He felt on top of the world. He found it hard to believe what had just happened. He closed his eyes and pinched himself in a bid to wake up from sleep but he opened them to find himself in the same place. He took in a deep breath and leaned his back against the back rest.

"Dinner is ready," Sheila announced, walking back into the living room. "Are you ready to eat?" she asked him.

"Ermmm. I'm ready anytime you are." he answered.

"The food would be served soon by the maid." she said as she settled into her previous seat.

"Okay," he smiled and only glanced at her briefly.

An awkward silence took over and for some unknown reasons, the two avoided meeting each other's gaze. The silence remained until they saw the maid walk towards the dining table with a tray in her hand.

"Shall we?" Sheila got up from her seat slowly.

___

21:14PM

Suntan Road, Bexford

Evelyn turned off the car engine and the lights after parking at the curb. She took out a small backpack from the passenger's side and stepped out of the car with it. She locked the car and then picked out her phone from her pocket to dial a number.

She looked towards the Suntan Farms main gate located at a walking distance from where she parked. According to her findings, the gate was usually not locked till ten o'clock because some casual works worked till very late in the night sometimes.

She was dressed in all black and had a black head warmer covering her head. Her choice of the outfit colour made to enable her hide well in the shadows after she got into the facility.

"Hey! You can locate the vehicle with the tracker in it, I'll drop the key by the front tyre of the driver's side. You wait until I give you instructions," She said briefly and ended the call. She returned the phone into her pocket first and then scanned around the area with her eyes before bending slowly and dropping the car keys.

She stepped forward and placed the backpack on the bonnet. She opened it quickly and closed in back in less than five seconds. She strapped it to her back and proceeded forward.

___

Lion's Club,
El Deols, Anthanna.

As expected, hip-hop music was blaring out through the club speakers. There were only few people in it as it was a Monday, but the strippers and night workers could still be seen looking for clients and competing for the attention of the few ones around.

Cole was sitting at the bar, he had a bottle of alcoholic wine and a glass cup in front of him. The glass cup was half filled and the bottle was almost empty. His neck was turned back and his attention was at the floor where the half naked girls were displaying their assets through their seductive dances for clients to see. He felt the urge to go for one but the thought of the work ahead of him restrained him. He needed to get a view of his client.

He remained seated silently until the device he placed in front of him beeped. He turned forward quickly and unlocked the device. He swiped down the notification bar and clicked on the message from the tracking app. The app had just notified him that his target was close.

He adjusted the face cap on his head and looked back towards the main entrance of the place for signs of Francis, there was none yet. He looked at the two other entrances and saw nothing. He turned to his device again and opened the instant messaging app to check if Henry had read the messages showing the details he sent to him. He saw that the messages had delivered but they were unread yet. He switched to the dial pad and dialed Henry's number quickly.

"Hello boss," he said into the phone.

"Hey Cole!" Henry sounded somewhat startled, like Cole's call came as a surprise to him.

"Where are you boss?" Cole noticed the tone of his response.

"Well, I'm somewhere." Henry replied. "You, where are you?"

"I'm at the club already," Cole replied.

"What club is it, have you sent me the details?"

"It's the Lion's club, but you don't need to worry boss. It sounds like you are busy, you can continue whatever you're doing, I'll handle this alone."

"No, no, please send me the details."

"I sent it a long ago," Cole replied.

"Oh! Sorry, I haven't checked my messages."

"It's okay boss, you don't have to be here, I'll call you later."

__

Unknown location

Henry jammed his fists on the table after receiving the call. He was in a bar and there were other men and very few ladies around drinking. It was a local bar, built with wood. The tables and chairs were also made with wood

"Sorry," he apologized to the other men whose attention he had drawn to himself with the gesture.

He poured some more beer into the cup and gulped it down immediately.

He looked around and hated the environment he was in. He was not a man of such but he had found no other place to go after leaving Sheila's place. He only asked the cab driver to take him somewhere he could relax for a while and the cab driver had brought him there, where he also stopped to drink.

He forced himself up from the seat and paid the attendant in charge before walking out. As he walked the few metres to the road, he kept wondering what had happened to him and why the sight of seeing Sheila with someone else had troubled him so much.

He regretted his actions. He should have just waited for them to detach or give them a sign he was around and ask to see Sheila. He got to the roadside and stood to wait for a cab, still wondering what the reason was for his displeasure at the sight.

He soon found a cab and waved it down, he got in without talking to the cab man.

"Where are you going to?" the cab man asked without moving the vehicle yet.

"Just drive, I'll direct you." the cab man stared at him for a moment, not sure of what to do but finally drove on.

__

Lion's Club

Soon enough, Cole spotted Francis walking into the hall flanged by four other men. They were all dressed in shirts and jeans. They proceeded to the floor where some of the girls were for a moment and they happily pressed their butts as the girls brought themselves to them. Francis and his men then proceeded further into the inner game room. Cole turned back and took another sip of his drink, he waited for some more minutes before he got up and proceeded to the direction of the game section.

"Your ticket for Monday games?" the bouncer at the entrance asked him.

He smiled. "I'm not coming in, I'm just here to see someone."

"Then step aside," the bouncer ordered.

"Yeah, sure."

He took out his device and checked the time. It was already ten o'clock. He knew that it was time for the game to begin and Francis would be busy, he had his plan to lure Francis to his trap but it would have to wait till after the game.

He walked towards the floor where the girls were, hoping to pass some minutes there before getting ready for the main job. His gaze incidentally moved to the entrance and he saw someone familiar walking in. He stopped and hid behind a column, not believing his eyes. He looked again to confirm, she was the one. She was dressed in black skinny trousers like the one she wore in the morning. Her hands were in the pocket of the black knee length jacket and a black hat was on her head. Her shoes were somewhat thick leather hip-hop boots. Her pattern of dres gave her the look of a gangster.

She stopped after taking few steps and looked around the place. She then took out her phone and checked the time.

___

"Lion's Club," Daniel read out from his phone, confirming the name on the signboard hung at the top of the building to what he had.

He took out his phone as he looked left and right again. He dialed a number on his phone as he moved closer to the entrance of the club.

"Hey! I just found one of the locations usually visited by Antonio Carlos and Vincent Shawn," he said into his phone.

Episode 83


08:02AM
April 4, 2016

Bexford International Airport, Bexford
Bethanna

"Good morning," Cole greeted with a smile and settled in his assigned seat at the centre.

"Good morning," Florence Brown answered, she was sitting close to the glass.

"I'm Cole," he added quickly, noticing how beautiful she was.

"I'm Florence," she replied with no smiles.

"Nice to meet you," he smiled.

She responded with a nod and looked away. He shrugged and took in a breath, wondering why she was sounding hostile. Soon, an older man joined them and sat on the third seat close to the aisle and the commencement of the flight was announced.

___

Kebba, South Husan.

"Do I remain with them at Vincil or go back to join Jenny?" Samantha asked Henry.

She was in the men's hotel room, already dressed in white leather jacket and trousers. Her face was heavily made up to change her look and she had a different wig on. Wilson was also dressed, he was putting on a white shirt and black trousers with a black face cap. Henry was on a black jacket with an inner white top and black trousers. He was sitting on the chair and using the laptop on the table.

They had their small traveling bags already arranged on the floor, they were ready to leave the place but seemed to be waiting for something.

"You stay with Dave at Vincil," Henry finally answered her question. "We'd release any hostage we have anywhere, I'll call Dave for the release of Tanko and Jenny would be ordered to meet you at Vincil tomorrow morning."

"What about Carlos and Antonio?" Samantha asked.

Henry turned and gave her a stare, there was some coldness in his eyes that made her feel that she had said something wrong.

"Just follow my instructions and stop questioning me," Henry sounded in a cold voice.

"Okay boss," she answered, wondering why he suddenly began to act cold. It took her few seconds to realize that she had goofed, forgetting that Wilson was not a part of their team yet and wasn't supposed to know about their kidnap of Antonio and Carlos.

She looked at his face and found him busy with his phone and not looking like he had heard anything.

After few more minutes, Henry got up and arranged the laptop into one of the bags. They stayed for about ten more minutes before Ern who they had been waiting for finally arrived.

"Sorry, do something at home." He apologized after entering into the room.

"Let's go," Henry got up from the seat and picked one of the bags, Wilson picked the other, leaving Samantha with nothing to carry. They proceeded out of the hotel building.

Henry glanced at Samantha and Wilson as they stepped out of the building, then he looked at the points where the cameras were again.

"Someone has been watching us," he whispered to Samantha as they got to the vehicle.

Samantha felt the urge to look around to see who was watching them but she resisted herself. She assumed it was someone around and believed that she looking around would give the person watching a clue of what Henry whispered to her.

She proceeded to the driver's side and entered. Wilson got into the front seat with her while Henry and Ern got into the back seat.

Through Ern's help, they were able to take a fast route. They dropped him off when they got to vendor stand and Henry tipped him off. Samantha drove through the route described by Ern and in less than one hour got to the border.

"I'll drop before the roundabout," Henry reminded Samantha.

She turned on the car indicator and gradually pulled it to a halt by the curb. Henry stepped out of the car carrying with him a hand purse only.

"I'll see you guys soon," he said and watched them drive off.

___

On Air

Twenty five minutes after the flight took off, the older man at the third seat slept off. Cole took out his device and opened a gaming app.

He played the game silently for more than twenty minutes but his mind was somewhere else, he kept glancing at the face of the lady beside him. She wasn't doing anything and wasn't sleeping either, she just had her head resting backwards and her eyes staring blankly. She also didn't look like someone who was troubled or distressed.

"Hey Florence," Cole called softly.

She lowered her head and looked at him.

"Sorry, I was just wondering why you are so quiet. Ain't you bored or is there something bothering you?" Cole asked.

She stared at him with questioning eyes without giving a verbal response and Cole began to feel bad for asking her, her look made him feel like he was getting into something that didn't concern him.

"I'm so sorry for disturbing," he apologized and tried to fake a smile, feeling embarrassed. "I'm really sorry, I'll just stay on my own."

A surprising smile formed on her face but he refused to consider it and looked away still, he adjusted himself on the seat and faced front.

"I'm sorry for acting so rude when you are just trying to be friendly," she apologized. The embarrassed look on his face had made her want to laugh but she suppressed it and reconsidered her cold responses to him.

He glanced at her and faced front again immediately.

"I'm going for something very important in El Deols and it seems to be taking control of my whole thoughts and actions," she explained further.

"Oh! I see," he smiled lightly and nodded before facing front again.

"So, where in El Deols are you going to?" she asked after some few seconds of seeing that he wasn't willing to continue the conversation due to her previous responses.

"Central El Deols," Cole replied. "What about you?"

"Well, I'm not sure yet. A friend would be waiting for me," Florence replied.

"A friend?" Cole squinted at her.

"Yea," she smiled. "My boyfriend actually."

"I thought as much," he let out a wry smile. He concluded that her boyfriend was the possible reason she was acting hostile.

The flight continued and they discussed about several other general things for about an hour, the rest of the four hours flight was spent in silence, except for the occasional comments about the flight and the service of the flight attendants which were made.

"It was nice meeting you Cole," Florence said as she got her bags.

"My pleasure Florence," Cole smiled back at her and watched her walk away while he waited to get his own small box.

He thought there was no need to get her contact since she had already made it clear she was taken with her words and her actions at the beginning of the flight.

He took out his phone to call Henry after getting his box.

"i just got there boss," he said as he proceeded out.

_

"I'm walking out of the airport right now," Florence said as she proceeded towards the gate. She had a wireless earpiece lugged in her left ear.

"A blue Camry is outside for you, call me when you into it." Aaron replied from the other end.

She ended the call and proceeded out through the gate. There was no car parked outside the gate. She looked towards the left where vehicles were coming from and spotted the Camry coming towards the place. She stepped forward quickly and got to the roadside at the same time with the car, it stopped right in front of her. She opened the backdoor and stepped in.

The driver drove off instantly. He made no effort to exchange pleasantries with her and she also did not bother. Their eyes met through the rearview mirror as Florence dialed Aaron again.

"I'm in the car," she said.

"Pick up the car key beside you at the backseat," Aaron ordered.

She immediately reached for the car keys.

"Done," she said.

"He would drive you for fifteen minutes and drop you off at a restaurant, the key is for the black Chevrolet you'll find parked at the left hand side. Everything you need is in the vehicle," Aaron said.

Just as was said, she was dropped in ten minutes and found the vehicle where she was told. She opened the boot of the car first to check what was there. She closed it back immediately as she saw the well packaged guns and bullet packs after opening a bag.

She stepped into the driver's side of the car and found a leather file at the passenger's side.

"I just got into the car," she said after calling Aaron.

"The file at the driver's side contains a debit card and a credit cad, it covers your payment for any hotel of your choice and additional materials you need as far as you can account for the additional."

She picked the paper file and dipped her hand in to take out two cards.

"What's the pin for these cards?"

"9999," Aaron replied.

"Okay," she answered and put the cards back into the file and dropped it on the passenger's seat.

She started the car engine and made her way out of the place.

14:32 PM

Adrian smiled as Sheila personally served him on the dining table, the maid holding the tray containing the plates beside her. Sheila also placed her own dish where she was meant to sit before pulling out the seat.

"I made this fried rice myself this afternoon," she said as she settled to eat.

"It smells nice, I'm sure it'll be delicious as usual." Adrian smiled.

She smiled back. "Please bless the food for us."

Adrian said a prayer of twenty seconds before they began to eat.

"How come you did not go to work today?"

"I'm on leave, I thought I told you."

"No, I actually thought you would be coming to pick me from work." Adrian replied.

"I'm on a short leave of three days, I'll be resuming to work on Thursday."

"I see, I hope I'll be fit enough to return to work next week too."

Sheila stopped eating and quickly looked at his face. "You want to return to work this month?" she sounded surprised.

"Yes," he raised his brows. "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Yes, you should rest well. I don't think you should return this months."

Adrian chuckled. "Come on, I'm very fine already."

"Let's eat now, we'll talk about it later." she said as she took a sip of water. "I want us to watch a movie together after the meal, it's in two parts, almost five hours altogether."

16:52PM
Unknown Hotel, El Deols.

Henry answered the call on his ringing phone as he stepped out of the staircase to the hallway.

"Hey Cole, I'm in the hotel already and will be at your room door in seconds." he said into the mouthpiece as he proceeded forward.

He walked past the doors slowly, looking at the labels at the top until he found Cole's room. he knocked twice and waited for a response.

"Henry, is that you?" he heard few seconds after knocking.

"Yeah, open the door man."

"Hey! What's the plan?" he asked immediately as he walked in after the door was opened. He saw a laptop on the table close to the wall and proceeded straight to the place.

Cole locked the door and followed him. Henry sat in his seat and he stood behind and held the external mouse to open an image on the laptop.

"This is the man whose ID I'm tracking, his name is Francis." Cole said to him.

"How did you get his details?" Henry asked.

"I got the unique codes and searched for other products that have been made and labelled with the codes," Cole began to explain. "It took me some days as you know, but I eventually found four other products which are totally different."

"What organization does he work for?"

"He works on his own, like a freelancer." Cole answered. "All four products he did were done under different organizations and with their licenses."

"And are those items legal products?"

"Yes, all four except for the current one that hasn't been fully produced."

"So, how do you intend to get him?"

"He would be at the club tonight, it's his regular pattern to play Monday games." Cole replied.

There was silence for some seconds.

"You said all previous four products were done under different four organizations?"

"Yeah."

"It gives the idea that he doesn't finish the work on his own, he gets external help."

"Yes, he does."

"It means we are not only after him tonight, we need to find out those he got external help from in making this particular sensor."

"You're right boss," Cole replied. "I'll get him to mention those he worked with."

"Can you do this alone?"

"Yeah, sure boss."

"Well, I should be available to be your backup." Henry said and got up from the seat. "What time are you going to the night club?"

"Ten o'clock," Cole replied.

"Send me the details and I'll look into it," Henry said, walking to the door. "For now, I have another pressing matter to attend to."

_

El Deols Airport, Anthanna.

"I understand all you've said boss, I'll follow the steps." Dan said as he walked out through the airport gate with a backpack strapped behind him.

___

Unknown Hotel, El Deols.

Florence Brown was sitting at the center of the bed, her knees slightly raised and her feet crossed over each other. Her shirt was off and only her bra covered the breasts but she still had her trousers worn. By her sides were two revolvers, one at each side and in front of her was an opened laptop and a phone by it side.

She dialed the number from the screen of the laptop on the phone in her hand and dropped the phone beside her, her headset was still plugged to her ear.

"Hello," a gruff voice sounded from the receiver's end.

"Hi, I'm Florence from Elvis Kahn. Am I speaking with Francis?"

"Yes you are, I've been expecting your call."

"So, where do we meet?"

"Do you have my package from Elvis Kahn?"

"Yes, I do."

"I have a game tonight at the Lion's Club. I can meet with you before the game," the voice replied.

"What time is the game?"

"It starts nine o'clock."

"What time does it end?"

"It could end at anytime but it does around eleven o'clock usually," Francis answered.

"We should meet after the game, I'll be busy around nine o'clock."

"Okay, see you then." Francis replied and the call ended.

Florence licked her lips softly. She picked the pistol by her left side and raised it up, it was a beretta. She concluded in her mind she was not going to need guns to kill Francis but a knife.

She got up and walked to open the wardrobe where she kept the bags she had picked up from the boot of the Chevrolet to pick a knife. She had chosen to kill him after he was done with his game, it will reduce the possibility of his dead body being discovered quickly.

Suntan Farms, Bexford
14:33PM

"Hey Jake!" Tracy hailed as she trotted happily towards him.

"Hi Tracy," Jacob looked from where he was sitting on the plastic chair. "Where have you been?"

"I went for lunch," Evelyn replied, after settling into the plastic chair beside him.

"I see," Jacob leaned forward and stared at her face. "You must have eaten something very delicious."

"Well, nothing special, just noodles." she replied.

"Noodles?"

"Yeah."

He shrugged and then rested his back.

"So, even if there's no work to do, we can't leave the premises at all?" Evelyn asked,

"You can't leave since you were employed as a full time staff, we can be called at anytime to do some extra cleaning." Jacob replied her. "Only the part time staffs are allowed to leave after the morning general cleaning."

"And it appears the part time cleaners are more than the full time."

"Yeah, you're right but not just cleaners, most of the workers around too are also not full time."

She squinted at his face.

"Yeah," he continued explaining. "You see the labourers especially, they are paid wages based on how much they work, they can decide to stop working at anytime of the day and they can also be laid off and called upon again at any time."

"Why are they being laid off and called back?"

"It depends on the harvest season," he answered. "It's not everytime the harvest is large or excess, when the harvest is very little, only few men are needed for work. And sometimes, especially during the planting season, a different set of men are employed for the season."

"I see," she nodded and leaned her back against the backrest again.

"Only those in the administrative section have their jobs secured and are paid salaries like us," Jacob continued. "But as expected most of them are paid far higher than us."

"Where's the admin section?" Evelyn asked.

"Oh! The block is somewhere at the back," Jacobs replied, demonstrating with his hands.

"Can't we take a stroll there since we are not doing anything there now?" she asked.

He squinted for a while, obviously in hesitation. He stared at her and the look on her face made him not want to disappoint her.

"Okay, I'll show you there," he said and got up. "But you need to know that walking around during working periods is restricted."

"Okay, I understand." She got up with him.

They walked out after telling another cleaner resting in the room with them they'd be back in a short while.

"Does the administrative block have security guards separately from the main ones?" Evelyn asked as they walked side by side.

"Yeah, I think one or two security guards are assigned solely to the block."

They walked silently for about ten minutes until they came in view of their destination.

"That's the administrative block," Jacobs said, stopping behind the barb wire fence which separated the area.

Evelyn stopped beside him and stared at the place from afar. The building, a storey building - was large enough to contain more than ten large offices and stores. It looked silent and less crowded like the other areas of the farm. Of course, she expected it to be so because the staffs there would be working in their offices and not on the fields on doing menial jobs.

"So, this is where everything is directed from?" she asked, glancing at his face.

"Yeah," Jacob answered, his eyes still focused on the building.

"That means Mr Daysman's office is also one of these offices," she said, more to herself than to Jacob.

There was a silence of close to one minute before Jacob looked at her face, wondering if she had seen enough for them to turn back.

"Have you met Mr Daysman before?" She asked, now covering her eyes with her palm placed above her eyelids as the sun which had hidden itself under the clouds before had come out again.

"No, I haven't met him personally but I see him almost everyday when he passes." Jacobs answered, now staring at her and wondering why she was asking so much questions.

"I've read so much about Mr Daysman and his entrepreneurship and I admire him so much," she stated after sensing he was already having questions in his mind. "I would like to meet him someday and speak with him."

Jacobs smiled. "You want to become an entrepreneur?"

She glanced at his face. "Yeah, that's the best thing to do."

"And you're..." Jacob was saying when his phone rang. He took it out and checked the caller. "I think we've got to return now," he said and turned immediately.

FOX Coporation Headquarters,
EPA Hill, Bexford.

Steve and Sandra were sitting silently in the investigation room when Dan entered. Steve was sitting on a stool at the investigation table while Sandra was sitting at the corner of the entrance wall using the computer system.

"Someone needs to go to Anthanna," Dan said as the two other Agents looked at him. "Good afternoon," he added quickly, remembering that he had not seen them that day.

"What's happening in Anthanna?" Steve asked, his eyes following Dan as he got to the table.

Dan got to the table beside Steve and dropped the files he had brought with him on the table. He opened it and took out two paper documents.

"My investigation revealed that Antonio Carlos and Vincent Shawn had been to Anthanna together four times this year," Dan began to explain. "Details of their dealings in Anthanna is not yet known but these documents contains every location they visited in Anthanna."

"You do not have an idea at all of what their dealings there could be?"

"No,I've not been able to access any of their personal effects, I've got these informations through the travel records," Dan answered. "There's nothing else that binds Antonio and Vincent together apart from their work for the Invisible terrorists, so if they travelled together to Anthanna, it has to be something concerning the Invisible terrorists."

"And as it is, the only way we can find out what they do there is going to Anthanna," Steve said thoughtfully.

"That's what I'm saying."

"No one else is fit enough to go apart from you," Steve said. "Start preparing right away, i'll go see the chairman and request for his permit and the funds."

Steve took some minutes to go through the documents placed on the table by Dan. After being satisfied with what he read, he got down from the stool and picked his phone from the table. He arranged the documents back into the file and took it with him as he proceeded out of the room.

Forty Minutes Later

Steve returned to find Dan now sitting with a laptop at the investigation table.

"Dan, the trip has been approved. When are you leaving?" He said and took his seat beside Dan.

"The morning flight from Bexford to El Deols have been fully booked already," Dan said to him.

"No other flights?"

"No one going to El Deols, there are some going to other parts of the country."

"So, what do we do?"

"There's a flight coming from Zimbabwe, it would stop at Bexford by noon and proceed to El Deols. I should be able to join that," Dan said, making a loud tap with his middle finger on the enter key of the laptop.

"Alright, safe trip man." Steve said and got up from his seat. He took out his car keys from his pocket.

"Thanks, but I'll leave from here tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow then," Steve smiled. "Today is Sunday, I gotta rest, I'll be on my way home now."

Episode 82 contd
Ovil opened the door and led Henry into a well furnished living room. "Please take your seat," he said as he passed through another door.

Henry eyes moved around the place but his mind thinking about the security cameras he found around the hotel. From what Ovil had said, those security cameras must have been installed by an individual but what Henry needed to be sure of was when it was installed and possibly which individual did it.

Ovil returned few minutes later with a pack of bottle water and a glass cup. He pulled a footstool to Henry's front and placed the items on it.

"Sorry, I really don't have things in here but my wife would serve us some fruits soon." he said as he took a seat adjacent to Henry.

"Oh! Thanks," Henry replied as he poured the water in the cup. He barely took a sip before returning the cup to the stool. "So, how did Morris find you?"

"I think he read about the Kebban medicine online and he sent emails since April last year, we sent our numbers to him but he never replied or called again until several months after when I got a call from Wilson describing his condition and asking me to come get him."

Henry squinted for a while. He thought he needed to ask Wilson questions.

"So, how about the payment?"

"Morris paid already," Ovil replied. "We don't charge much, we're more interested in helping people than making profits from our medicine." He said proudly.

Thirty Minutes Later

"I think I've got to leave the both of you alone right now," Ovil Matuse said after some few minutes of speaking with Henry in the room. Henry was sitting at the edge of the bed while Ovil was standing close to the entrance.

Henry gave no reply to Ovil's statement but only nodded in understanding. Ovil bowed slightly and then turned to leave the place. Rex was fully awake and was sitting in the wheelchair close to the bed. Henry closed in the gap between them, he turned Rex gently in the wheelchair to face himself and took some time to stare silently at his friend.

Rex was totally different from the man he knew, his body had emaciated and his eyes seemed deeper than they used to be. He seemed more like a shadow of his real self.

"Rex," Henry called gently and let out a breath. He didn't know where to start. "Is there anyway you can let me know if you can hear and understand me?"

Henry waited for a response to his question but all he got was just the stillness and the blank stare. Rex made no movement of any sort.

"Well, I just want to believe you can listen because Ovil tells me so." Henry decided to continue speaking anyway. "My wife Sarah and my son Kellar were burnt to ashes that night while I watched helplessly," he began with tears forming in his eyes. "I visited the place when I first returned to Bethanna and the whole building was burnt to ashes and is yet to be renovated. When I asked people around what happened to the building, they said a family had come on vacation to the place and the husband had burnt up his wife and child in the building and ran away. It also made the news with the same information. They found my wife and child's bones while they were clearing off the damage and I was told by those around that the bones were thrown into the sea, some said they were buried somewhere around. I don't know what happened to your family but I'm sure they also tried something similar to you..."

Henry stopped abruptly when he noticed Rex blinked his eyes. He watched for a while and saw nothing else except for signs of tears forming in Rex's eyes. He reached for Rex's palms and held them in his. He was now sure Rex was listening to him.

"Well, I'm here to take the lives of those men that tried to stop us but I need to get you to safety first," Henry continued. "If there's any way you can communicate whether through signs, or..." he paused briefly and shrugged. "Or blinking your eyes like you just did, I'll like you to communicate to Ovil for him to allow us to take you out of here. I plan on taking you somewhere you can receive better treatment and also be safe because as far as you are here, it could be easy for the Wolves to reach you..."

Rex blinked again, twice this time.

Henry paused and squinted. "Are you trying to say something to me?"

He waited some few seconds to see a blink again but there was none.

"What are you trying to say?" Rex blinked again as he asked.

Henry sighed. He was sure something was being communicated to him but he could not understand.

Rex felt so frustrated within himself. He had never felt as bad as that since he was in that condition. He needed desperately to tell Henry to abandon him and continue the mission pretending he never existed. He needed to say to Henry that the Wolves were already aware that they had found each other but all he could do was stare and even the blinking he made was with great effort and came long after what he wanted to respond to was said.

Henry continued speaking and told him of how he would be back for him soon.

Henry got out of the room thirty minutes later and went straight to meet Ovil in the living room where he was hosted.

"You're back so soon," Ovil noted.

"Yeah, I noticed he was blinking, I don't know if he was trying to communicate something."

"Well, it could just be normal blinking caused by human reflexes. The eyes blink severally within minutes."

"No, it was different," Henry said. "I felt he was trying to say something."

Ovil squinted. It had been long since Morris had been able to communicate even with blinking and he felt surprised that it was happening with Henry. "Maybe it was the desperation to talk, he thought to himself.

"Well, in the pasts he affirms or refuses things by blinking. One blink probably means he agrees, when he blinks more than once, it used to denote a sign of disagreement."

Henry squinted for a while, trying to remember which of his words Rex had blinked once and twice to.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Henry got back to the hotel room. He met Wilson reading a newspaper.

"Welcome Louis," Wilson lifted his eyes.

"Good evening Wilson," Henry smiled on seeing Wilson with the newspaper. "Is that written in English?"

"No," Wilson shook his head. "I'm just viewing the pictures."

He walked straight to the table and took out his phone. He already missed calls from Cole and Dave. He dialed back Cole's number first.

"Hey Cole!"

"Hello Boss, I'm in Bexford already." Cole replied from the other end.

"Okay, Dave must have also joined Jenny back there."

"Yes."

"So, what time is your flight to Anthanna?"

"By eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Henry took in a breath, wondering if he should still visit Anthanna with Cole. Anthanna was not too far away from Kebba in South Husan but was some distance away from El Deols itself.

"Be safe Cole," he finally said.

___

Bexford Bethanna.

"Thanks boss," Cole replied and ended the call. He minimized the dialer and switched to the flight book app.

He checked his application status again and saw his seat number.

"36," he whispered to himself.

"37," Florence Brown called out softly on seeing her seat number.

She dropped her phone on the table and pulled out the small box she was traveling with. She picked some printed documents on the table and folded them into the box

Wolves Strategy House,
Newland Estate
Bexford, Bethanna.

08:30AM

The door to the room opened automatically as Florence got to the entrance. She stepped into the room and Aaron sitting on the middle seat at the conference table, he was speaking to someone on phone and immediately turned on noticing her entrance.

He took the phone off his ear and stretched it towards her. "You have a call," he said in a firm voice.

She hastened her steps towards him and collected the phone.

"Hello," she spoke softly, resting her palm on the table gently.

"Hi Florence Brown, my name is Kahn and I have an assignment for you." The speaker spoke while Florence stared Aaron in the face. "You'd receive an email carrying details of a product's code within a couple of minutes, the developer lives in Anthanna and what you are expected to do is to confirm who the developer is and end the life of whoever it is."

"Is the personal tracking number of the developer included in the email?" Florence asked.

"Everything you need is contained in the email," Kahn answered. "The main target isn't the one whose tracking number is on it but the one who did the actual development, if they are two different personalities as suspected, it is recommended not to spare any one of them."

"Alright, message copied and will be done." She replied and handed the phone back to Aaron.

"Okay boss," Aaron replied to a message before ending the call. He dropped his phone on the table and silently stared Florence in the eyes for a moment. "Do you have a plan already?"

"No, not until I get the email," she replied, keeping her gaze on his face. "How do I get my supplies."

"You should call me once you get to Anthanna tomorrow," Aaron answered. "I'll give you the directions you need."

"And when do I start getting paid or are my services still being tested?" Florence asked in a strict tone.

Aaron smiled. "You'd get an alert immediately the successful execution of the new assignment is confirmed, make sure you do not fail."

Florence nodded gently. She was confident she would not fail the task of killing one or more developers. All she needed was to trust this men and also make them trust her.

El Deols, Anthanna
15:34PM

"Thank you," Sheila shouted to the man who opened the gate as she drove into the compound. She found an appropriate space and parked the vehicle there. She turned off her engine and stepped out of the car.

She took in a deep breath as she looked around the place. It was beautiful and green, full of ornamental trees and shrubs around with a small garden by the side. The building was also perfect, not as big as hers but well erected and of a delicate design. She hung her bag around her arm as she made her way into the house.

"Welcome ma," the man who opened the gate greeted as she walked past him.

"Good afternoon," she smiled back. It was her first time of coming to Adrian's place and she was amazed at how beautiful his choice of residence was. It didn't portray him as the "Jerk" she always think he is.

"Mr. Adrian should be in his room," the man said as they walked into the living room.

"Oh! Will you call him for me?" She requested, sending some strands of her braided her to the back of her ear with her fingers.

"Sure ma'am," he said and proceeded forward quickly but met Adrian who was already coming to the living room.

"Good afternoon Sheila. what a pleasant surprise!" He smiled as he walked into the sitting area.

She smiled back at him. "Good afternoon, I can see you are doing better now."

"Yea, thank God." he shrugged. It was obvious he was doing better and almost perfectly healed, apart from his slow walking steps and a small scar on his forehead, there was almost nothing else to portray him as just recovering.

"Hope you are still taking your medications?" She asked.

"Yeah sure," Adrian answered with a smile that showed he wasn't saying the truth.

Sheila squinted at him. "Have you taken the dosage for this afternoon?"

"Ermm...No," He closed his eyes briefly. "I'm yet to take lunch and I have to eat first."

"Why haven't you had lunch?" she frowned.

"The maid is on an errand, so I asked her to get some food for me on her way back."

"Why didn't she cook before leaving?"

"She left since morning," Adrian answered. He adjusted his sitting position and stared at Sheila's face. "You don't have to worry Sheila, it's nothing."

"No, it's something." She retorted. "What about your friends? You told me they would be with you."

"Ermm...Both of them had to attend to pressing matters but they'd be back soon."

"You also said your sister would be here this morning," she questioned with a raised brow.

He smiled and took his stare off her face. "She was supposed to come but had an emergency at her graduate school

Sheila frowned at him. She could tell he was hiding something, especially about his family. There was a way he responded to her everytime she asked or talked about them that made her feel he wasn't in right terms with them.

"Why don't you tell me what's wrong Adrian?" She asked as she leaned forward. "You were at the hospital for days and no one came to check you, now no one is also here to stay with you."

"Sheila, there's nothing wrong," he answered with a smile but the look on her face showed that she knew he was trying to conceal something.

She let out a breath. "Well, how long is your maid going to stay out, you need to take your drugs this afternoon."

He shook his head and looked up to check the wall clock. "She should be back in thirty minutes time."

Sheila widened her eyes. "That would be evening already."

He remained silent.

"I think you need to stay with me for a while," she said after some minutes of silence.

He raised his brows at her. "No, Sheila, that's not going to happen." he said with unbelieving eyes.

"Why? you are all alone in this place."

"My friends would soon be here."

"But they are not always here," she argued.

"Yes Sheila, they can't be always here. Besides I'm not a kid, I can take care of myself.

"Well, it's fine if you don't want to come with me," she shrugged.

"Yeah, thanks but I can't." Adrian replied.

For the next forty minutes, they focused more on the program showing on the television and only spoke to each other occasionally.

Sheila suddenly looked up and checked the time. "Good gracious! It's almost an hour and your maid isn't back yet," Sheila exclaimed.

Adrian looked at the time and realized it has gone truly. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"She was stuck in traffic but she's very close already, she would be here in less than ten minutes." Adrian said to Sheila after making the call.

Sheila shook her head. "I'll be here to pick you for lunch and dinner at my place tomorrow," she said, staring him in the eyes.

"There's no need for..."

"You can't refuse if you want to remain friends with me," she cut him short.

Adrian smiled. It sounded like a threat but he knew it was out of concern for him. He remained quiet and focused on the movie showing on the Youngicee TV station.

Ten minutes later, the maid walked in as said with the purchase meal and hurriedly served Adrian.

"He was fast asleep the last time I checked him, he always sleeps after taking the afternoon medication," Ovil Matuse said as he led Henry through the hallway to Rex's room.

Henry had come alone this time around to see his friend. He found it easier this time because he walked straight to the building and requested to see Ovil. He had the intentions of spending some time alone with his friend, even if it requires talking without getting any response.

"He sleeps for how long a day?" Henry questioned.

"Well, I don't calculate it. I'm only sure he sleeps every noon because part of the drugs he takes after lunch makes him sleep." Ovil replied.

"So, apart from you being a priest, you are also a doctor?"

"No," Ovil smiled. "Even though my father doubles as a doctor, I'm more in the Priesthood alone, I only have very little idea about Kebba's medicine and that's because I didn't grow up here."

"Where did you grow up?"

"I grew up in Bexford with my mother, the last wife of the Chief Priest, she was the only woman out of seven who had a male child for him."

"Your father's wife was in Bexford while he was here in Kebba?" Henry probed further, finding the discussion interesting.

"No," Ovil smiled again. "She came here for treatment thirty five years ago and stayed for extra treatment after two months of successful treatment. Before she returned to Bexford, she happened to have a fling with my father who only became a priest two years after. He never knew of the pregnancy until it was revealed to him by a prophet when I was already sixteen. Then he came for me."

"Hmm..." Henry drew in a breath, partially doubting the veracity especially the revelation of the prophet.

"So, I moved here since sixteen and began to learn the Kebban language. I was mandated not to speak anything apart from Kebba for ten good years," Ovil chuckled.

Henry smiled as they got to the door. It was opened as usual. Ovil led the way in and Henry followed.

Rex was asleep just like Ovil had predicted. Henry stepped forward slowly, his friend was lying still in the bed and Henry for a second almost did not believe he was alive until he noticed his silent breathing.

"How do we know when he is awake?" Henry turned to Ovil.

"The women come to check him every one hour," Ovil replied. "They'll soon be here, he doesn't sleep for long except at nights."

"I see," Henry placed a hand on his waist. "I guess I'll have to wait, I hope you have no problem with that."

"No problem for sure," Ovil shrugged. "Come with me, we'll come back together to check him." Ovil led the way out.

"So, how are you finding Kebba?"

"Well, not bad but I've not really had enough time to go around." Henry answered.

"Kebba is a nice place, the only difficulty you may have is understanding the language."

"Uhmn... How is security around here?" Henry asked, finding an opportunity to find out about the cameras.

"Security in what aspect?" Ovil asked as they turned into another hallway. "People barely rob here like they do in the city, they are afraid of what would happen if they are reported to the Priests or prophets."

"Well, I'm asking for my friend." Henry said. "You heard our story yesterday, some people are after our lives and Morris' inability to move would make him an easy catch."

"I understand your worry but he's been here for months, nothing is certainly going to happen to him." Ovil replied with a reassuring tone.

"I saw security cameras around in some areas, why aren't they placed everywhere?"

"Well, we really don't need security cameras here, we have prophets and seers." Ovil smiled. "There are cameras only on routes leading to the Local Government Secretariat and around the area, there could also be cameras installed by few individuals."
