Dylan p.o.v.
There was a knock on the door and everyone stood still. I personally wasn’t in the mood to entertain any visitors at the moment.
Everyone was seated in the living room brooding silently as we had just gotten back from the hospital and a deathly silence engulfed us all.
I was hoping they’d say a coma or brief unconsciousness till she was stable enough to wake up again.
But no, my mom had died.
‘You brought her in late’
Those were the words of the doctors when we arrived.
Late.
If only Meredith had just listened and stayed behind. I wonder what pursued her in the first place.
Now she’s missing.
These past few days have just been like a movie.
A fucking freak show!
Because I have no idea how they expect me to be okay with my mom gone.
Just how?
The knock came again and Uncle Brooks stood to figure out who it was.
Everyone else stared at the
Third person p.o.v.Santiago paced up and down the waiting area while Jeanie sat cross legged on the empty bench as they both waited for the doctor to come give them a feedback on Louisa’s health condition.The fear in their hearts would akin to that of the parents and they couldn’t hide it.Asides the both of them, there was a boy who looked to be in his late teens seated at the other end of the room.Apparently, he had rushed in his mother on a wheelchair over an hour ago.The gruesome site of how she was stained all over with blood and still dripping had ebbed itself in everyone’s memories, it is only by luck would she survive whatever had happened to her.Deep down the boy knew, but when asked by the doctors he had denied.He had been abandoned by his father years ago after his mother was involved in a car accident that affected her lumbar spine and left her crippled, sadly he had to live and witness all these fr
THIRD PERSON P.O.V.Jeanie walked into the ward and met Santiago spoon feeding Louisa on the bed.It was Two A.M. in the morning, they needed to leave as soon as they could.Judging from the time they had left; the alarm would’ve gone off at the base by now that the three were missing. It was going to take several incantations to not be seen as they furthered their journey.“We need to take that food to go, the doctor is out for a while and this is the only opportunity we have to leave” Jeanie said and her partner understood exactly why.“Hey girl, we need to leave now okay?” he muttered to Louisa and she nodded in understanding.It seemed like she was well aware that they were on the run to save her life.Jeanie walked up to Louisa and detached the catheter attached at the back of her wrist and picked her up while Santiago rushed out ahead of her probably to use the restroom first.From h
Third person povA knock resounded on the door and the entire occupants knew who they were expecting.Mr. McConnell went personally to answer the doorbell, it was a vital discussion that was long overdue.“You are a bit late, we agreed nine o’ clock” said Mr. McConnell the moment he came face to face with the invited visitor.“The streets aren’t safe and you know that. Also, I needed to see the therapist as planned.” Mr. Reid replied with a bit of annoyance in his voice, he wasn’t familiar with being questioned and being in such situation triggered his nerves. “May I step in or would you rather me killed by your doorway.” He continued and that made Mr. McConnell grudgingly give way for him to come in alongside two heavily built body guards.Stepping aside for Mr. Reid to come in, he also scanned the outdoors like he was expecting someone else… which he actually w
“How can you remain so calm? Aren’t you bothered you might not make it out alive?” Dialo said to Meredith as she sat at the far corner of the room with her eyes still closed and her hands and feet still in a knot.Meredith scuffed at his statement, so loud that the young man found it quite annoying and insulted.“Speak for yourself” she started with a tone that sounded like she and Dialo had been in an argument for quite a number of years “you are going to release me and I am going to call the cops and you’ll be ending up in jail with whoever that sent you as a roommate.”Her confidence was slightly alarming to him; he had never seen a woman so stubborn. He silently thanked God for not allowing him to judge her book by her looks cause if he had listened to what his mind had initially told him about her, he wouldn’t have bothered tying her up.And he was very certain that if he didn’t, one of them
Iris’s p.o.v.“Start up the car, we’ll be leaving soon” I heard Hunter’s voice from the outside of the cabin.The sound of his voice in a little way settled my worry that he had gone without me.Even though deep down, I prayed that I would wake up to my little girl staring at my face or wrapped up in a warm blanket fast asleep because at this point everything is already a lot.But then it came to my realization that Hunter has no idea that I have woken up yet… so he’s leaving soon without me?“What about Miss Jules?” a casual baritone voice asked and I’m glad that he voiced my mind before I could.What about me?“Dougy I cannot keep waiting for Iris to get up... in as much as I can’t wait for her to wake up, Louisa is out there and only God knows what they’re doing to her each second that goes by” Hunter replied his
THIRD PERSON P.O.V.Her mother stood at door and watched everyone in the room with wide eyes.’This has to be a scam or a scheme in process’she thought to herself when she met with the faces in the room.Definitely whom she least expected. All of them.“You can come in, you’re safe I promise you” Mr. Reid says as he stands to his feet to allow her see him fully.“Why didn’t you indicate the people we’re getting to meet are the McConnell’s?” Mr. Shawn, Iris’s dad asked after seeing Mr. Reid act calm in the same situation his wife is finding extremely disturbing.“I figured if I mentioned it that you guys wouldn’t want to get involved” Mr. Reid explained.“We had already mentioned that we didn’t want to get involved with this family, you promised us Iris and my granddaughter… not a jamboree with
Third person p.o.v.Iris sat in the back seat of the car in fresh new clothes and a slightly wet hair.She had managed to have her bath some minutes ago and now they were preparing to leave.While Hunter and a few of the others were having some discussions not so far from the vehicle, she sat completely quiet and zoned out of earth.Her thoughts, very far away that from her face she looked like someone who was lost from reality.What she had heard earlier still gave her cold feet, it felt like as each second passed the reality of realities dawned on her and all that kept pounding at the back of her mind was Louisa’s health.She knew Louisa as still recovering from anemia and blood is being drawn from her?Iris had never in her life thought that she could ever come across someone so wicked in her entire lifetime… and she had met Hunter.That little girl never did anything to those cruel men, not even to swa
Third person p.o.v.They had been driving for some hours now, only hitting a stop to refill their gas tank with the extra gallon of fuel that Soldo always demanded be left at the back seat of every vehicle ever used on a mission.Jeanie and Santiago had swapped positions an hour ago so he could take a nap because he was exhausted.Everyone else in the car were fast asleep and Jeanie was the only one wide awake, she had taken a brief nap at some point.The radio stations were shuffling between songs and there weren’t really any news headlines during the wee hours, so she had to stick with random mix of songs including those she knew well enough and those she was hearing for the first time.The day was getting brighter quite slowly and she believed the time was between five to six am. She didn’t go around with a wristwatch so she wasn’t so sure of the time but she was certain her guess was right, it was part of their traini
