Eileen walked into a run down section of the city with her bodyguard. She wore a nose mask and sunglasses, they both walked briskly, and got to one apartment on the ground floor, her bodyguard joined two wires that were hanging out on the right side of the door. A bell rang from inside and a well built man opened the door. He smiled at them and let them in. The whole room was in a deplorable state just like the outside. The couch was falling apart so was centre table, the walls, the lights and every other thing. Eileen didn’t look bothered at all, she was used to this. The gang made good money and their homes were far different from this place. This was only their hideout, there was no need to worry about how it looked. She sat comfortably on the deteriorating couch and was surprised by how firm it was.“Yo, Benjy, what brings you here this fine evening?” The man asked lighting a cigarette. “Care for a smoke?” He asked Eileen who shook her head then he offered one to the bodyguar
Nina stepped into the workshop and saw Dylan in his working gear. She smiled and waved at him and he waved back. Dylan walked over to her.“I brought lunch today, since we’re not going home early” Nina whispered to him. “I have a place we should go to after work today” Dylan whispered back. “Really?” Nina’s eyes lit up. “Uhuh” Dylan nodded.Throughout the day Nina worked in very bubbly spirits. Everyone noticed a change in her but no one dared to ask the source of her joy.It was not until 9pm that they stepped out of the office, when they got to Nina’s car in the parking lot Amaya stood there arms folded and tapping her feet impatiently. Nina and Dylan stopped in their tracks.“You ungrateful people! How could you do this behind my back?” She yelled at them.They both froze they hadn’t told Amaya they were dating and Amaya didn’t know either, she was talking about Dylan working at Nina’s company without her knowledge. Nina turned to Dylan,“Why did you tell her?”“I didn’t say
“Cody, wake up!” Nina cried. As she rubbed his hands as if that would put some life into him. She looked around the hospital ward and then drew closer to him.“Who did this to you Cody? Just a few months away from each other and you’re dying already, what have you been doing in your free time?”A nurse walked in and came to examine Cody then turned to Nina.“Mrs. Whyte, he’s perfectly fine just let him rest a little he’ll recuperate in a day or two” Nina breathed a sigh of relief. “I will allow him to relax then, I’ll be back after work” she said.She kissed Cody goodbye and left the hospital ward. Dylan smiled when he saw Nina approach the workshop. He went up to her and smiled.“You’re so late today, what happened?” He asked.Nina instantly felt guilty seeing Dylan’s innocence.“Something came up, I haven’t even slept a wink” she replied with a yawn. “What happened can I help with anything?” He asked.“No, I can handle it, you don’t have to worry about me” she answered and walk
Eileen stormed into B.T’s den, while Benjy her bodyguard ran after her. B.T was nowhere in sight when she stormed in, she started to make for the bedroom door when Benjy stopped her. “You can’t storm in here it’s dangerous!” He warned. Eileen yelled “if he’s that dangerous why couldn’t he recover my painting? I gave him a month, a month for just one painting”“Witting is a highly guarded neighborhood, corn street security is no joke, plus it’s an apartment, people are always around” Benjy reminded her.A compartment in the floor opens up and B.T walks up the stairs into the room. He puffs out his smoke and smiles.“Have a seat my lady” he says calmly to Eileen.“Who gave you the right to shoot at…” she charged at him.“I said, have a seat!” He barked angrily. Eileen is taken aback by the sudden change of character.She sat quietly in the sofa and B.T sat on a coffee table in front of the sofa and faced Eileen.“The man you told us to attack was Cody Whyte? Who told you that man i
Nina’s phone beeped and she checked it, it was a text from Cody. “Busy tonight?” She thought for a while and responded “sort of, why?” “Wanted to take you to go see a show” Cody replied.“Sure you can come for me” she responded. She didn’t see when Dylan sneaked up on her.“Surprise!” He said and Nina jumped out of her skin.“Dylan! Why did you sneak up on me like that?” She said startled.“Well, I was standing outside observing you, you kept smiling at your phone, I’m jealous are you cheating on me?” He asked.“What? Why would I? See” she showed him her phone. “It was memes” Dylan nodded but still not convinced. “Today’s the death anniversary of my mum, I’d be going to see my dad today, I’m kinda nervous I haven’t seen him in years after my mum died” he told Nina.“Aw” Nina said feeling sorry for him “have a seat, let’s talk” they both sat in the sofa in her office and she held his hand.“What’s going on? Did something happen?” She asked.“I blamed him for her death, he was barely
Eileen got her rifle ready and slipped out of the house without anyone’s notice. The problem was that she wasn’t too smart for Benjy. He had already seen her and followed her. Eileen fired at the door when she got to B.T’s place, she started to fire more shots when she stepped in. B.T who had heard the gunshots from outside stood behind the bedroom door waiting for his chance. Immediately she opened the bedroom door he fired at her but intentionally fired at her arm, so as to not kill her.“You’re one stupid girl” he whispered in her ear and carried her away. When Benjy got to the scene, they had already left. He had very limited time to find his boss before things got out of hand. Meanwhile Cody and Nina sat enjoying the jazz band at the concert. Every now and then they’d steal glances at each other. Nina would look away shyly, Cody would chuckle at her girlish behavior. This went on for a while until Cody stared into her eyes and said;“So when are you not going to be tired anym
Dylan, his two brothers and dad sat around a dining table in a solemn mood. “Thank you all for coming, I didn’t expect it.. well you’re here now and that’s all that matters” There was awkward silence again. Then Dylan cleared his throat.“I was so mad at you when mom died, I blamed you, I said if you were around momWouldn’t have died. We wouldn’t have had to go stay with our uncle, it was messed up. We were always broke, we were always hungry” Dylan said with tears in his eyes. The room was dead silent. Mr. Walsh he heaved with his head bowed. He didn’t know how to explain to his three sons that he really did love them and that he also wished he could’ve done better. “I’m sorry, I wanted us to be together always, but the man in me… how could I face you when I couldn’t make enough to put food on your table, I wanted to prove I was a man that could care for my family I was working about 4 jobs, we had debt to pay, your mum was sick we had to pay the hospital bills too, spending ti
Cody snatched the phone from Benjy while he drove speedily down the streets.“Look B.T or whatever you call yourself, we could do this the easy way or we could do this the hard way, just say what you want, we’ll give it, just leave the girl alone”“What the hell, just tell this stupid bitch to leave me alone or else I’ll kill her, she came at me first” came B.T’s reply.“If you don’t want her then where the hell is she?” Cody yelled.“Go to the woods in Mantong, I hope you find her before the wolves do” B.T replied.“Damn!” Cody yelled and sped up. When they found Eileen she was almost unconscious under a pine tree, the bandage on her hand was blood soaked. “Cody!” She mumbled with all the strength left within her. “How did you get here? What happened?” He asked picking her up. Benjy stopped him and took her away from him.“We have to get to the hospital real quick!” He yelled but Cody shook his head. “If we go to the hospital how are you going to explain to them? How did end up
