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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZd6SR7mR6

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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5y16yc3E

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9J5n1a2HZ
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsJTPMo9Xo
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv268uCaJZW
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y0w6s5Q5v
His hands flew to the front of his shirt undoing the top button. He realised how hot he felt and should've unbuttoned earlier.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8W08U83l6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNgc6CLz5a
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEaQm9MtxW
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGWIV7eOY

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimhIdkCS2Z
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wOnqxHouc
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VCpidYIrb
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Dcgx3op5

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIdNFZe1QV
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBHjHfEOma
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262wUHoNRz

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG5QfU4wrL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYjioJAhnL
Mrs. Sinclair now had a look of concern in her sad, hollow eyes. "Eugene's father? What happened to him?"529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IMmf5zhns
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRR5IkKBVQ

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNklfNAGC6h
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfDGqGRLei

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3RGyGWHrj
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuklgCxwdTL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQCClqblA9

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtknySWFT7l
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyYkziG9Qz
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIMHT8LZSf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzO6RO6EfD

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzncARuaHQ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL9XpoQLDl
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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5O9ZZb0yw
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbSCnKXzDW

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4nbqthqYJ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrquCuRmqRk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv3GfScxul

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu3wTutLzB

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA1BiMWlbE
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2wM4hBJE
"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsvtgVamh4

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjytuvBD7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QlbrEcEHN
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?"529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3fqMXUkYW

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4E33Jq1pp

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHh8oAzmFk

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aV2mkhiqC

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnooTFPVr9b

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s07F0U9qY

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZcHhjTUVk

"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK82nKKWnR

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GSh6z5Gm
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF5kfptsu0
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B3C39slqe
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uG337KLaQ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf55Muxzpk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrmhXaFTjY
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOklCxpFIqd
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tXviOlhuK
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7lPKDLjD8
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?529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScILYuoe4n

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFmjZ7eK2L

"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bmshyTCQ3
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG57gaXAVqT
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96aZBhBb6D
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNRFKOcLb2

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3LqQVDuOm

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOaYlAtFVf
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Dy2kcRnx

529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb7DzQN9yf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUEmlxO7Mp
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsO9mp89BZ

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvIxHnd92R

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL12FRok3Id

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoKxsa6pNX

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R8twETTBv

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAl1kVdO1K

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu4CmxCL8N

"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp7o5Oj5Mu

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdINDFp5Z

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6M7loIWYr

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzdFflXEeQ

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvDTRLi4YH

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUwYlA0WiK

The car door Miguel is guarding flew open on the other side and their female comrade came out. She quickly approached the boss, holding his shoulder so that she could turn and look at him.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2pUXtgOHq

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?529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJLAIbCBfP
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlf9A37Wj3

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.
