He straightened his tie as he stepped out of his black Lamborgini, looking towards the house. The bright lights inside illuminated through the windows. After a long pause, he closed the car door behind him and walked to the porch. It immediately flew open and the housekeeper dressed in her black dress and white apron stood in the doorway.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh6QQIXbPA

Mr. Sinclair chuckled. "Silly me. I had to rush somewhere today that I forgot it in the office. No matter, I don’t plan on staying up to work anyway."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKBFwjvH2W

Mr. Sinclair walked out of the foyer and made his way up the flight of stairs. When he reached the landing, he took a turn down to his right.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9um8VTf0z
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNObva43MG

His hands flew to the front of his shirt undoing the top button. He realised how hot he felt and should've unbuttoned earlier.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR35S0DaPA
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eNiqW2NDA
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB6tRYVAeE

"Sorry to startle you, dear," said Mrs. Sinclair, who sat on her bed, her back leaning onto the white headboard. "I just dropped the book I was reading."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfREjHwAQj
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ktsEkVBq
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5JMs81gK
Mr. Sinclair approached the bed and bent to pick up the thick red book on the red Persian carpeted floor. He sat on the bed, close to the edge and placed the book onto the white covers on the bed atop his wife's laps.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEr9FvInac

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0jTCLRNx4
She ran her thin, bony fingers through her thin, dull blonde hair as she tried to put up a smile. Her tired blue eyes looked on at Mr. Sinclair. Her grey, pale face with hollowed cheeks showed clear signs of her illness.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUoQT5vrgS
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsnbh25LJz

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3zNjExjXa
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox3QgsSvLl
Mrs. Sinclair now had a look of concern in her sad, hollow eyes. "Eugene's father? What happened to him?"516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl40YyXqvmZ

"As much as she is, her relationship with him still worries me." Mr. Sinclair stood up from the bedside and went over to his wardrobe at the far end of the room.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59slXfpn0s

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38BwhyOBp
Mr. Sinclair now wished he never started this conversation. He didn't like to talk about it, especially with his wife. Before he could start to unbutton his shirt, he turned around to look at her.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ7sQooXf7
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsvAhof1GW

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oUfNmrXXa
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZ6VcSjGV
He thought he heard his wife hiss, but he can't be sure. She said, "don't act like I don't know what's going on. The late Emelda might have been your client, but she got you involved in her personal life that you don't even know who you are anymore."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11iMwUWHW

Mrs. Sinclair pushed aside the bed covers. Even in her frail state, she pushed them with so much vigor like she had had the energy within her all this time. She placed her feet onto the floor and slowly stood up. Her long, loose white night gown almost reaching her feet. Mr. Sinclair so much as wanted as to go to his wife and drag her back to bed, but even when she was weak physically, she somehow had a strong hold over him when it came to her actions.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzREwxr2Z0t
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WximsrQbp
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2whkDHZVS

"A lawyer? Sure. But you and I both know that you were more than that busy handling her dirty affairs. She’s not as innocent and generous as people thought her to be. In fact, almost the whole town knows, but they don’t want to say anything because you’re there to always intervene and would do anything to clean up her mess."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhmomzwrr

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwsz9yJxFU
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa8KkzXuLm
"It’s because you’re." She pointed her long bony index finger onto his chest. Mr. Sinclair didn’t much as flinch at the gesture. "You know what you’ve been up to for years. And even when she's dead, you now take on all of her affairs like it's normal."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTukGv4tZid

Mrs. Sinclair scoffed. "Tell me, dear husband," she said sarcastically, "does Rhénee even know what’s going on? Why she inherited everything from her grandmother? Why she never came back to this place and doing so now after such a long time? Don’t you think you’re putting that innocent girl in danger?"516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQD3FtDqgA

Before Mr. Sinclair could say anything, a knock came at the door. He could only guess that the housekeeper had come to announce that supper is ready. However, the knock was a little fainter than usual.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFExRaGETPL

"I’m just joking," said Mr. Sinclair as he walked up to her. He then knelt down on the floor in front of her and cupped both of her hands in his. "Why you come up with such ideas is just absurd. You know I wouldn’t do anything that would upset you."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr1raIsMZ2

He let go of his wife's hands and made his way out of the door. As soon as he closed it, he made his way towards the stairs. He was about to descend, when he heard the sound of a door opening and closing at the other end of the hall. He saw Scarlet coming towards him.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVSuzZnxU3

Scarlet is quicker than her father as she walked past him to go down the stairs. Mr. Sinclair followed at a slower pace. She reached the bottom and went straight to the living room that led to the dining room.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkYDhnSK0W

As soon as Sinclair reached the bottom, he felt the phone vibrate in his pocket. He stopped before he could continue his way into the living room. He found a message. He unlocked his phone to read it. He cursed under his breath and pocketed the phone back, making his way to the dining room where he found his daughter already waiting for him.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlpKezInjy

"Maybe it’s because you’re so young and energetic," he said as he took his seat at the head of the table. Scarlet sat on the other end and said a prayer, asking the Holy Father to bless it. And as soon as the word "Amen" was uttered, they started to dig in. A few minutes hadn’t passed before Scarlet asked her father a question.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yWg0gfrCw

They continued to eat their supper and Sinclair in return fired Scarlet some questions concerning school and her friends.

As much as Eugene wanted to turn to look at Miss Marie, he had to focus his eyes on the road. He's driving her old, red convertible with the top covering their heads, heading towards the forest. He didn't like the idea of going there at this late hour.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xPFumviWf
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCoBcMZaNs
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwapIUa0PD5
Silence stood between them. Eugene wanted so much as to ask where he's taking her, but he knew the answer he's going to get. They were out here to look for Miguel, which is pretty absurd, Eugene thought. He might be walking back to the house and they were here taking a drive.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6CnexHyGs
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpsIWFZpof
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVrtQaRExr
Miss Marie soon started to hum as she looked out her side of the window. Eugene wondered how she could be so calm. For once, he wanted that she would go insane, making it easy for him to turn the car around and take her back home. That's if she wouldn't go mad to the point where she might distract him as he is driving.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiZTTPQxoq
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlJtvRNWPd
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVslVOTA31
On the point of insanity, Eugene wondered whether Miss Marie is sane or not. Why take him out here to find Miguel? Eugene couldn’t help but feel stupid after thinking about it a little. His gut feeling told him that Miss Marie wasn't insane when she told him where to find Miguel nor is she insane right now. A sudden thought soon crossed his mind. What if she's been pretending to everyone this whole time?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG7EA1vrto

Eugene did as he was told and he got a little puzzled. There’s a bridge just up ahead and he thought they were going to reach it. He turned to look at Miss Griselda.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4jGOWtNei

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DStbi4URb
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtnawmXq5E

"If you keep asking the same question, you’ll run mad," she said. She had her hands in the pocket of a brown, fluffy coat that she managed to grab before leaving, wearing it over her sleeping gown. Eugene felt he should’ve gotten something warm himself. The night air around the forest is a lot chillier than he had thought.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqTgIj8jem
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QPxPLxTRs
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0io2Cp2e3
They continued to walk and it's then that Eugene realised that they still had quite a way to go before they reach the bridge. As the leaves gently rustled above them in the trees, he realised just how dark it is, despite the full moon shining brightly above them.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPb9UCqSjZ

He was just about to pull out his phone from his pocket when all of a sudden, Miss Marie held his hand, stopping him from doing so. He turned to look at her, surprised at her quick reflexes.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg3ZnRtWc5

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqO3tUT8L1
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOPptIX0rx

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjUTdHrZrz
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBmd0Qfmm8
She started to go on ahead, leaving Eugene standing there. Miguel, his childhood best friend, is in some kind of gang? Is Miss Marie telling the truth? Somehow, he knew that she is, but then he didn’t want to accept it at all.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczYxLxP99S

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBRxdhw8A
"If I told you that they deal with both and even more than you can ever imagine, would you believe me?" Miss Marie now turned to look at him even when he can’t see her face clearly in the dark.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wIYN4znhF
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX9oqo1jOC
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uJ3RKemXc
Eugene swallowed. Deep down, he didn’t want it to be true. Maybe she’s acting delusional and what he’ll see will probably be nothing. Yes, he thought to himself. She must have gone bonkers and isn’t thinking straight. But he has to know whether she is or not.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMBEfsnv5O

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZzBOJebAn
"Grandson or not, I can’t hide from you what he truly is," Miss Marie answered as she looked at him. "You’re a good man, Eugene. Associating with such people isn’t right for you who is trying to build a reputation as a lawyer. Then there’s your father too. God knows just how many sins he has committed for him to be dying in his hospital bed right now."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KlDsjsD53

"For a lawyer, you clearly didn’t listen to what I said just now. I would be dead by now if I didn’t keep up with the farce. And as for Miguel, he might look like he cares, but he really doesn’t. I’m telling you this now because if he ever knew that I brought you here, I'll be dead and no one will find my corpse for a long time. You will probably be dead too."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZshhSe4NC4

Miss Marie went back to leading the way and Eugene had the option of running back to the car and leaving her. But he felt his mind wander off, and it’s like he had no control over his body as he followed her.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkS29vj5as

The road went up a small hill and Eugene knew they were almost there. As they reached the summit, they had a clear view of the bridge below. Eugene hoped they would find nothing there, yet the sight of a few cars parked on the side of the road near the bridge and a few dark figures that he made to be people, made his heart ache.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbT71rqpcR

Eugene followed Miss Marie and partly entered into the forest where they still had a clear view of the bridge. As they waited, Eugene couldn’t help but pray that what Miss Marie said isn’t true about Miguel being one of the people down there. Even if he tried to, he realised that it’s already too late.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrmuqR60Gm

Rhénee leaned against the tall tree and bent her neck to peek at what's in front of her. She and the others were now within reach of the people near the bridge, but still using the forest as cover. She looked to her left. Greta hid behind a tree, also peeking. To Rhenee’s right was Malcom also keeping a lookout. Kevin, knowing the area very well, had left to scout it a few minutes ago.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv8OtV6ht9

"Okay," he whispered. "There are four cars. Three SUVs and the other is Mr Cowell’s. The car closest to the bridge to the right has two people sitting inside and two people guarding it. I’m guessing that’s where they’re holding Miss Griselda."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyI9pKIOvO

Miguel looked at the car beside him and for a minute, he felt drowsy. He now regretted smoking before coming to guard the car. He wanted so much as to trade places with someone, but they would know that something is wrong. It won’t be the first time he ever smoked before coming in to work.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdUWob5enJ

He shook his head, trying to get himself together. He cannot slack off now. The boss will get angry with him and who knows what he will do. His boss may have given Miguel a few chances in the past, but this time, he might not be so lucky.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKUQkygyO2

He turned to see his comrade guarding the other side of the car through the passenger side window. He hasn’t noticed that Miguel isn’t himself just yet. Miguel has to hang on a little while longer. However, things are moving quite slow. Their other comrade hasn’t arrived with Rhénee yet. What could be holding him up, Miguel wondered.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58m5acDXn1

He felt the mood around him become hectic. And he thought he had seen the boss ahead of him, leaning against one of the cars with the phone in his hand trying to call. At some point, Miguel had heard Mr. Cowell suggest to the boss that he should go back to his house and see what’s holding the other guy up. The boss shouted at him, telling him to shut up and go away. Something’s wrong, and everybody knew it.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJqWPwEjOy

A good twenty minutes had passed and a loud shout rang across the forest. The source? The boss man. Everyone stood silent, looking at him under the partial darkness. Miguel gulped. When his boss is mad or frustrated, he does like to give a loud roar like a mad lion. Someone has to calm him down. The funny thing is, nobody is willing to go and do so.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauVPtA1r3R

Everyone turned to where the voice came from and there stood a figure of a female at a distance that someone had to turn one of the car's lights on. There stood Rhénee Johnson. Miguel is among the few that murmured in surprise. How is she here alone? And where is their comrade?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG2uDr4iEh

Before anyone knew it, an explosion occurred near the centre of the ring of cars, sending the men into a frenzy. The man, considered as the boss, turned to see the confusion. Before he could do anything, Rhénee quickly hit the back of his head hard with the handle of the gun and he fell to the ground out-cold. Rhénee passed his unconscious body, cocking her gun as she raised it to aim and fire.8964 copyright protection512ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSUqSHX3s 維尼
