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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsUdMN1vfD

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCtMNLptt1
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJdT23Me8U
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamra6F7v1p
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Hhu7JCyH
His hands flew to the front of his shirt undoing the top button. He realised how hot he felt and should've unbuttoned earlier.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30fZY6uGJc
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTJKhonKH5
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR0vDRHp9A
He reached his room. But before he could even open the door, he thought he heard a loud thud like something had fallen to the floor.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMmEVMDUpf

"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU97nFexVda
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NrAfJ1fup
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLHvGiZMbK
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jaZamHx0E

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oafI5GtkV
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC9qMb0SMq
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CF7T7VAnj

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL57jmsZPy
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF1a6bbiCU
Mrs. Sinclair now had a look of concern in her sad, hollow eyes. "Eugene's father? What happened to him?"546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43HHGVE2nP
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLmMV0DRK9
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQenlTBk6iV

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0zBEP8j2G
"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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkk95tjh7
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1QNu16lCR

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh8bSq2Y24
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ShpX0jLVt
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWk436VLH1
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFlf0o1deO

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOyAIfnzGq
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fd160OXt7
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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjWg90hvTQ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpK0FLtqyh

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy3sVKwFCA
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UNhDku3ri

"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnxrSuByHm

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPV0PRqsVY
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZze8mJln6
"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSPrj0azm4

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFhgxRekV
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?"546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV5jHtFSwI

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ck9DVmCFH

"I'm not too worried," said Mr. Sinclair as he closed the door. "When she goes to college, she'll definitely get over him and like somebody else. If not, Eugene will make a good son-in-law."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn6ifJJrSo

"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBpGyKNImN

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfAidxXDHX

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO1utPqpf1

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6FBzqah86

"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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2D3hQ655E

They continued to eat their supper and Sinclair in return fired Scarlet some questions concerning school and her friends. As soon as they were done, Sinclair stood up and told Scarlet that he’ll have to go to the study and do a bit of work.

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwkgHjXcKR
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJbwZ6n3ZK
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZhMrsRFMH
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY7KCfg5NH
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMpHZekkYf
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfR7T70gur
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88nX4TpEJ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YWXh1Ioo7
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRbDhoA0wv
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?546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqwTG8NMjz

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdGeLdyAOP

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyajaGelWk

"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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHrOBS3B7
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eT7EnxSLz
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWmx03mqe5
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2rj8IMSY

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAKfgmriWl

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAvS8VnDbg
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvzinAh50Q
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaurvCbyLb

546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqiYrglslt
"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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4AdguYoAn
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5qe56Nz96
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl1zoCFl5k
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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrLvF3jtuU

"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQf55QPgTs

"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oYgf5YszJ

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UyS2hfSrA

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsjgLhzDAU

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW1PP6p3Hw

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8rWVlKISI

"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."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs0mp7zITb

Rhénee sighed. As much as she wanted to oppose, she knew Malcom made a good point. He continued to lay down the plan for them and when he was done, he asked if all was in order.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JVYxTptL2

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdCHYSInEr

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Ecubz2N2

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TZZil7rek

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUigXG1dlQ

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.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ980WrneHdX

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?546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqhTjKGLSW
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFVAXfnLY

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 protection542ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wn7ND1flr 維尼
