Iris p.o.v.
The ride became too quiet.
I know there was silence before but now its just deathly.
And I didn't know how to react anymore. I just want to go home.
Not home to New York. Home to Saint Alamos. Home to my parents.
Just Home, I need that break. I fucking need it.
Hunter noticed the drift between us. It was obvious and it was heavy.
There was an unknown elephant in the car and neither of us knew what it was to talk about addressing it.
Mrs Phoebe is dead.
That can't sink in.. It just cannot sink in.
All I did was leave to find my daughter and Mrs Phoebe is dead. Meredith is missing.
For heaven sakes where do I start with the heart ache. I don't even know if my daughter is alive!
The entire universe is spinning. Its spinning in every direction.
We had turned off the music player some minutes ago and continued driving in silence. A really comfortable silence this time around.The news just sat so uncomfortably at the bottom of my belly.Mrs. Phoebe.What exactly did she do to deserve this? Just what?She never hurt anyone, if anything she stayed in her lane. She kept minding her business. Only gave contributions when asked. Never said a bad word to anyone regardless.But now she’s dead and it’s all because I put her in this mess.If I hadn’t gone to her in my pregnancy, she may have never gotten involved with me.She may have been alive.The guilt is killing me, no doubt.My cold feet if possible, just produced ice on my soles.I was getting hungry again and I think the rumble of my stomach gave it away.To be fair, it’s been a while since
With chaste, we hopped into the car and zoomed off.Hunter was driving at a speed of 102km per hour and I have never been happier that no cars were on the road.Note, loneliness is beneficial sometimes.Tell your kids.“ Hunter slow down… we need to be alive to save Louie” I managed to say as my body swerved when we took a turn at a sharp bend.Seat belt.. where is my seatbelt?Before any other action, I made sure I buckled my seatbelt and held my body firmly.“ Hunter please slow down” I yelled out again as we climbed a bump that I hadn’t gotten the chance to see.At the rate he’s going.. I won’t be able to see anything in life if we mistakenly crash into something.And I mean instant death.“ what would happen to us if I slow down would be a lot worse than the speed I’m going. Just buckle up and……”
Third person p.o.v.“ Has she been fed today?” The tall almost albino man asked from outside the room as he handed a file in his hand over to a lady they referred to as Jeanie.She was like the crew’s magician; Jeanie could make any traces of evidence whatsoever disappear, from a piece of paper to an entire shipwreck and to add she only needed a matter of seconds to get it done.Jeanie was found by Matthias seventeen years ago. She was a street rat as described by Soldo, learned how to hustle and survive from the age of six.She crossed paths with Matthias when she tried to rob him of his wallet when he went for a technology innovation conference in Bujumbura, Burundi.Little did she know that an experienced one could tell another from movement, body language and steps.“You can hand over my wallet now” were his first words to the nine year old girl after she ran past h
Third person p.o.v.“ You can’t just leave her here, she asked to come with you and you accepted” the doctor who was invited to tender to Iris’s wounds said as Hunter made his intentions plain.“ I didn’t want her to come along, she forced her way through and see the end point”Even though Hunter was right, the doctor didn’t find it nice that he’ll want to leave the poor lady out here with the rest of the crew when all she wanted to do was to go find her own daughter.The tall woman looked to where Iris lay, the injuries weren’t fatal which they were thankful for; a concussion and few bruises. Even though she was perfectly stable, she was definitely going to be in a lot of pains and the best option was to sedate her for now.She understood where Hunter was coming from and released a sigh.Knowing how stubborn Hunter was, she felt it was best to dr
Third person p.o.v.Three taps on the door in a particular code and Santiago knew it was Jeanie.He checked the clock and saw it was exactly fifteen minutes past midnight.He opened the door and she walked in all dressed in black like she was leaving for a mission.“ Are you ready?” she asked as she looked behind him and saw a Louisa looking so pale and scared.“ Always” he replied and turned to the little girl who was shivering and he couldn’t tell if it was from fear or excessive cold due to the blood she lacked.“ Lu… we want to take you away from here okay? We want to take you to see mummy” Santiago cooed at her and the little girls face lit up in the best way it could.“ I would see my m-mummy?” she said softly and slightly cracked up“ Yes hun, you’d even get to see daddy too”She let out a sad smile an
