JACKIETime was ticking by really fast, and it was getting darker and darker. I didn’t want Keith to know that I was absent from the Institute, and more than that, the road out of the clinic was a lonely one. I wouldn’t want to get attacked.Not that I was scared of running into mobs at night, because as a female mafia, I could wrestle with even armed men, but the truth was that it could result in some injuries, and that would draw Keith’s attention.What convincing excuse would I give Keith at this time for being found on this side of town? So, it was just better to avoid it.“Maybe I should just leave,” I told myself. “Saint will call me again if he truly wants me to see him, and I will be able to ask him specific questions on how to without all this stress,” I added to myself.Then I started my car and proceeded to drive out, but it was at that moment that an idea struck my head.“Got it!” I told myself.I killed the engine and hurried back into the small clinic, and I met with the

KEITHIt was a bit late when I called Cain, but I knew that he would certainly pick up. I still had to return to the labor house to ensure that the lads had done all they needed to do for the day. I was still having some troubles with the lads, because most of them were used to being lazy, and a few of them couldn’t work effectively without the use of the drugs that Saint introduced them to.It was becoming overwhelming, especially as I still had to cover up the paperwork, but then again, this was my Institute, and I would handle it all by myself if I had to. “Boss,” Cain said as soon as the call connected. “I killed Saint,” I blurted out without hesitation.Cain was so quiet that I thought he didn’t hear what I said, and that made me somewhat upset because it wasn’t something I wanted to repeat.The truth was that today had been so hectic and filled with blood, rage, and death that it felt like it happened in days. “Was it by mistake?” Cain eventually asked me. Apparently, he wa

JACKIEI returned to the Institute later than I expected, and I intended to just sneak into my room for the night.Things had gotten too intense and dangerous, especially with Saint’s furious thirst to get back at Keith. I didn’t want to be in the middle of anything, especially as Keith had extended his murderous tendencies to me.“Jackie,” he called, coldly and calmly at the same time.I froze in shock, because I didn’t expect to run into Keith.I intentionally parked my car close to the Institute gate. That way, I wouldn’t have to drive all the way in and draw attention to myself because I knew that Keith wouldn’t be asleep. He was a man of many demons, and as such, he wouldn’t get sleep easily. Besides, now that he had taken up Saint’s responsibilities, things would be very overwhelming for him.I took in a deep breath to try and steady my beating heart before I eventually turned to face Keith.Even in the dark, I could see the trouble surrounding him.“I didn’t think you left the

MIAI woke up earlier than usual. At first, I thought it was the feeling of the phone, but then I realized that it was because I wanted to see Tommy. Keith knew something, and I simply wanted to warn Tommy.He seemed pretty shaken the other day on the cliff when I confessed to kissing Keith, and I could only imagine his horror if he learned of this. However, I also wanted to see him so that I could plead with him not to even give Keith the answer, regardless of how much Keith pressed for it. Keith would have pressured me if a call hadn’t come in, but even at that, I would never have mentioned Tommy’s name and put him in trouble.I got up and freshened up, hoping that I could find Tommy, since it was still really early. It was neither time for breakfast nor time for reporting at the labor house.I took my new cell phone when I was done and stared at it.“I don’t even have anyone I can call,” I lamented. “Not Athena, whom I miss so much, and not Cain, who had somewhat become my frien

MIA“I didn’t know that you sent for the doctor already,” I responded.“You said you mistakenly flushed your pills down the sink, didn’t you?” Keith asked me.“Yes, I did,” I answered.“Or were you lying to me? Was it deliberate?” Keith asked me further.“No, I wasn’t telling a lie,” I said defensively.“Then you shouldn’t be bothered that the doctor is coming to check up on you,” Keith told me.“I am not bothered; just surprised because I didn’t know that you invited him here,” I countered.Keith stared at me for a second before taking the call. “Yes, doctor, I know that you are here,” Keith said. “You will be directed to my office where we will be waiting for you,” he added before ending the call.After the call, Keith looked at me.“I think you should get the empty pills container from your bedroom,” Keith instructed me.“It’s empty. What would he need it for?” I asked.For the life of me, I couldn’t understand why I needed to have the empty container since it was likely that the
