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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmZ268q1LG

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwPMzfJ2nJ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E50zRGsrs

His hands flew to the front of his shirt undoing the top button. He realised how hot he felt and should've unbuttoned earlier.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UvC3a8udE
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VTF6Byoow
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWbFWFcj27

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO6FtngVgc
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkheTc2Nhn
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPGaCdz0hp
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Ang3wRfA

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOZ1G5KHSE
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTuqvpH9M6
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ePLvm8cw

"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2z8voEYVN

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTyTiJq6S9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0EL7wSHhQ
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolafn7tGtL

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4TL9PKI6c
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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCogiYtU9B

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZRPMEAnH
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fBzMmcNg

"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.

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zkOtXjj2L

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?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvyPCcgkyd

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD9hGs7RIp

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qpct2aPDt

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGb5vRkgHh

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcTNxkHiK9

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrMSjygl3F

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3cTlP0OP9
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GqCKfCOn8

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXC1LpCLC
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHKtj8tRWg

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.

He slowly walked out of the dining room and into the living room while he watched his daughter go up the stairs. It will only be a few minutes till the help comes to take away the dishes in the dining room, so he pulled out his phone to make a call.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU3imfxrza

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXsIRbIKe
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rcAbvFntD
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1mFKUmy1V
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTo7bhDGKz
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqpMb5zGKS
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdX4cTLfjY
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3xl6RlyCN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHZiUFiIBQ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTlZ3vj9Vi
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?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpOrxxjvbm

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6R9IPNt6c
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvDslR2KS9

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GxitsdnXP
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn6E2hQFdg

"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaYjF1U4Ok
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mV4KibqBr
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj15Ib1y3H
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4SaJZRBWW

He was just about to pull out his phone from his pocket when all of a sudden, Miss Marie held his hand, stopping him from doing so. He turned to look at her, surprised at her quick reflexes.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6vj9Ewdoj

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQNXRDeMx5

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMbY7KzqS8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfjlGZOzoS
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfjHcKliEd

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KtyqcoZ3G
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDib6hqroU

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynXGm3M5k4

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnozjtZjKv
"If I told you that they deal with both and even more than you can ever imagine, would you believe me?" Miss Marie now turned to look at him even when he can’t see her face clearly in the dark.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio39ereG7T
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ocdYOWJHr
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcbuYFPqoO
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpOYPl3NC

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaZ59nXyBf

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYrFJ0MDHE

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxpzNtCqh

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2vPf3AyhX

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuxSj5pt0V

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtL9EAaeEI

"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08RfdQ55n8

Rhénee sighed. As much as she wanted to oppose, she knew Malcom made a good point. He continued to lay down the plan for them and when he was done, he asked if all was in order.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdFEL1k8Ex

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsy3E6Th8i

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs9cHCyLCG

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXYpzWwtTd

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc9x6lH3gN

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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAldwbERf7

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?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabW9r9UhRh
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijijf17oy

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.
