Rhénee turned her head to look back in front. She had to make sure there’s no car following them. So far, there’s been none, but she couldn’t be too carefull. Not when they know there’s someone in the boot and could gain consciousness at anytime.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M72Sv9Op6

Greta who sat beside her in the backseat, looked out of the window at the dark trees as the car drove. Rhénee could tell just how nervous she is even when she isn’t in a frantic mood like she usually is. She wished she could place her hand on Greta’s shoulder and assure her that everything is going to be alright, but it’s simply not going to. They were about to do something dangerous again, and this time, Rhénee isn’t sure they will be lucky like they were a few hours ago.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vIddipLu1

She looked straight at Kevin who sat in the front passenger seat. She now wished he had never thought of going to Mr. Cowell’s house. A thought soon crossed her mind.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55EDU5ZZVt

"What I’m trying to figure out right now, is if we aren’t just dealing with another group apart from the one we know are after me," said Rhénee.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtuPkYXoSQ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL6mr8U5Yz

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRAoBiDbZO
"There’s a big possibility." Rhénee stared at her hands in front of her. "I feel there are two different groups. They might have different ways of doing things, but they all have one motive: To get to me."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwE4IlDl9s

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBNRUgSZir
"Well," Rhénee paused for a bit as she tried to pick her words carefully. "First there’s the person who keeps calling over the phone. Your mother might be working for him, since he did confirm that he was there at the party she held to welcome me. It’s the same group that we met guarding the cottage. Then Mr. Cowell kidnaps Miss Griselda and leaves behind someone to jump us at the house, though I was meant to come out of that place alive and brought in. I don’t know, I feel there are different groups here. Maybe even more."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxrGTCnCN4

"The way they operate doesn’t seem right," said Rhénee. "Let’s not forget the finger that we found in Miss Griselda’s bathroom and the message that came along with it.

Rhénee looked beside her. There is a pile of guns lying in between her and Greta. Rhénee thought it best for them to carry weapons, and she didn’t forget to carry a few hand grenades and blades that they managed to find in Mr. Cowell’s house. They don’t know what they will face at the bridge, so they've to be prepared. She got a black hand gun in one of the piles and started to check it. She had a bag that she took from Mr. Cowell’s closet where with the help of Malcom, packed some ammunition for the weapons they were carrying. Malcom was quiet shocked about Rhénee’s knowledge of guns.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbx7q6eDCb
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxoKvkmdsL
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFWgvBACRr
She drew out the magazine to load in the bullets. As she did so, she wished she could’ve told Malcom back at the house. She had the opportunity, but she didn’t have the time to. She could’ve told the others what she’s been trying to tell them for so long: That she isn't who they think she is. People only see her as Rhénee Johnson, daughter of one of the richest men in the country. Who is usually quiet and reserved. But they don’t know what she’s had to go through growing up. She might be smart and got good grades in school like any normal girl would. But her childhood wasn’t all fun and normal.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLvKYgNAK2

Greta still hesitated before she slowly stretched out her hand and took the gun from Rhénee by the barrel. She looked at it like it would turn into a snake and bite her at any minute. She placed it on her laps and continued to look at it.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQ7YP5sd2

Rhénee picked a handgun similar to Greta’s with a silencer placed at the end of its nozzle. "I’m thinking we do this the smart way. Once we find where Miss Griselda is, we work from there and get rid of any potential threat around her."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa8nutejeS

Malcom had already opened the boot for her from the inside and she lifted the lid. The man inside is still unconscious. Rhénee drew out her index and middle finger close to the man's nose. His breathing is stable, she noted. She concluded that she must have pressed onto his pressure point too hard and is deeply unconsciousness. It's a good sign, she thought. She isn't going to worry about him while she and the others try to rescue Miss Griselda.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ufwRWVJK

Malcom packed the car in the forest not too far away from the road, behind some trees. Those passing by in the dark wouldn’t be able to see it. Rhénee went for the car as Malcom stepped out. Rhénee saw that he carried two hand guns, one tucked in his belt at the back and the other in his hand.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GSnMIcJT1

Kevin led the way to the east. They didn’t bring a torch with them for that might draw attention. They walked in a straight line with Kevin upfront, then Malcom and Greta, with Rhénee covering the rear.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYIrQ5Bpa

As they walked, Rhénee could hear the beating of her heart. It reminded her of the time she went hunting with her father and brother when she was very young. It’s surprising how she could still remember that day. Before her father shot the deer, his words came to her clearly:431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7oE4mUYCp
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHEtRfqLK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wm2OF9l2e

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLeN0iuBfe
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVT9CK5DZP
The words kept coming to her after the incident at the cottage. Now, she had to remind herself all over again. If her father was here, she would’ve told him about it and said, "you were right, dad. The day finally came."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEousuRI6xC

She didn’t have much of a choice, though. And now that Miss Griselda is in danger, any potential threat should be dealt with. If her mother was here to see all this, she wouldn’t stand it.

Eugene paced back and forth on the pavement right in front of the bus station, waiting for a bus to arrive. So far, there have been no signs of it. A few cars had passed by, but now, there’s just the plain dead silence of the night. He had tried calling Miguel a few times, but he still isn’t picking up. Eugene wondered if he could go by his house instead. That’s if Miguel’s grandmother is asleep. Eugene really wanted to talk to him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKc1O5rOoI

He pulled out his phone from the pocket and tried calling again. This is the sixth time. Miguel still didn’t pick up and it left Eugene a little frustrated. One thing he knew for sure, is that Miguel isn’t asleep. He usually came home early from work because of his grandmother and that gave him some free time when she went to bed to watch some TV or do something else. What could he be doing that he isn’t picking up my call, Eugene thought. He couldn’t be in the shower for he would have called back if he had seen his missed calls.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTvLU6tKfs

As soon as the bus stopped at the station, Eugene quickly went in and found himself the only passenger. It didn’t matter. He told the driver where to go and the bus started moving. He tried calling Miguel and still his line kept ringing. Eugene ended up cutting the call. He hoped nothing has happened to either Miguel or his grandmother.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPBovF7ntn

Eugene looked out of the window and a memory he had of his father kept coming back to him. It’s why he wanted to meet Miguel so badly. He might know something that Eugene isn’t aware of. It might be the reason why his father is fighting for his life in hospital.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQcuBIxkzu

He thought of calling his mother to ask how his father is doing, but he thought twice about it. She might just ask him why he isn’t resting. He will call her tomorrow.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKweD3cIW9c

In what felt like a few minutes, the bus came to a stop. He had to disembark and walk all the way to Miguel’s house. After doing so and the bus drove away, he looked around before crossing the road to the other side that led to the neighbourhood Miguel resided in. The place is pretty much quiet. Most people were in their homes at this hour. Some of them probably preparing themselves for bed. He couldn’t help but admire those families in their homes, tucking their children in because there’s school tomorrow. Some parents were obviously telling their kids a bedtime story to put them to sleep. He thought of his little brother sleeping at Mrs. York’s house and felt terrible that he didn’t have the kind of childhood almost any normal kid with parents have.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kTU8an7ks

He continued his way through the sidewalk up ahead, approaching the clear grounds of the late Emelda’s mansion enclosed by the black iron wall fence. He could see her huge house in a distance and he would sometimes mistake it for the White House. He had always joked about it with Emelda when she was alive and she would always laugh so light-heartedly, telling him that it isn’t anywhere close to being so.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fAQJt5xd

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xyIRZwZ03
As he walked by the premises, and looking on at the house, he couldn’t help but realise that the lights in the house were off, making the place look completely abandoned, except for the bulbs lit outside. Looks like people in there are already asleep, he thought to himself. But for some reason, it felt like there was no one home.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2h1oelTmV

He found himself stopping at the front gate and looking on. He felt like pressing the gate buzzer to announce his arrival, but he stopped himself. Emelda’s granddaughter is in there, he told himself. It won’t look pretty to wake her from her sleep to come and attend to a stranger at her gate. And besides, she might not be as understanding as Emelda was, he told himself. And she barely even knew him. He wondered if she could remember that they actually met in Mr. Sinclair’s office the day after her arrival in Madison.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrOtdnaj5M

He could still remember how she looked, and he couldn’t help but smile at the thought of it. He soon shook his head and wanted to hit himself for thinking about her like that. He almost forgot why he is out here and where he is heading. Women, he thought to himself. They can really mess you up. And as for Rhénee, he has no idea why he thought of her the way he did.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VZnXe1Toc

He looked at the quiet mansion one last time before continuing his way to Miguel’s. When he did, he couldn’t help but look back. Something was telling him to go back and ring the buzzer at the gate, but his head kept telling him that it’s a bad idea. He forced himself to continue walking and he tried his very best not to look back at the mansion.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n03OliFbx

He finally arrived at Miguel’s house, a few houses down the road after the mansion. As he reached out for the wooden gate, he noticed that it isn’t locked. Strange, he thought. Miguel usually locks it at this time to prevent his grandmother from going out. There were times when she sometimes found herself out of the house and into the yard. She can’t jump the fence as she’s too old and the fence is a little high for her anyway. Maybe Miguel is yet to close the gate, Eugene thought to himself, then he must be around.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGadEW82UYu

He walked to the doorstep where the light above by the porch was on. He knocked on the door. There’s no response. He looked at the windows covered by the curtain. He could tell that the lights in the house are still on. He knocked again, this time a little louder. He soon heard footsteps of someone approaching the door.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIHpBFbCtp

Eugene is surprised that she knew his name from the get-go. Usually, she wouldn’t remember until he told her who he is. And what is she doing up at this time? She’s usually asleep.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9SbMsHuO4

He started his way down the hall as he made his way to Miguel’s room. He found the door, slightly opened. Eugene made sure to knock first, but when he didn’t get a response, he slowly made his way into the room.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcnQvU7pDN

The first thing that caught Eugene’s eyes was Miguel’s bed. There were clothes there, so Eugene thought he might be in the bathroom. He turned at the door to the bathroom. It’s also partly open and it didn’t seem like there's anyone inside. He went to the door and gently knocked. No response. He drew the door wide open. The bathroom is completely empty. Where could Miguel be?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHHy9Dgc9V
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0BO3HbpKX
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoMQJj3hXp
Eugene pulled out his phone and tried calling. He soon heard the sound of a phone ringing and his attention drew to the bed. He went towards it and found Miguel’s phone buried under his clothes. Eugene cursed under his breath. That explains why he wasn’t picking up my calls, he thought.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGkDPXIn29
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyfKNL9qbR
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXy9Q3bJL0
He looked around hoping to see something that would point to where Miguel might have gone to. He soon walked out of the room and went for the living room where he found Miss Marie, sitting on one of her old couches and looking at the blank screen of the TV in front of her.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZf12bDd5t

Miss Marie now looked worried. The way she looked also made Eugene worry. How could Miguel leave his grandmother in the state that she’s in? Miguel has never left her alone. If he really had to go out, then, he would’ve left her with someone.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd2PtgORhc

431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbjBDoeaG
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxJUHTnyA
Eugene raised an eyebrow. How can she know where he is? Maybe he must have gone somewhere nearby. But judging from the time Eugene had been calling his phone, he must have been out for longer. And for Miss Marie to say that she might know where he is, left Eugene feeling suspicious.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYP3bbmIzY

His comrade looked at him one more time, then turned around to walk away. As soon as Miguel is sure that he is gone, he tries shaking his head.

Just as he was about to make his way back, he stopped in his tracks and touched his belt buckle. Good, his gun is still tucked under there. Before he could take a step forward, he thought he heard something behind him. He turned around, but all he could see were dark trees. He figured that he might have heard a small animal.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIleZ3BtCwt
