CHAPTER NINETY-ONE News about the arrest of the three students who were involved in the death of Loam Robinson continued to spread throughout the whole school, and there was no other topic on the lips of the students apart from the gossip about the arrest that took place the previous day. Kelvin had just arrived at the school, and as usual, Andy drove out of the school premises as soon as he was out of the car. “I have been waiting for you, Jacob! You didn’t come as early as you normally do today.” “Yeah, Jacob. I just decided to take my time today.” Kelvin said calmly, looking at Jacob who appeared from behind him. “Caius’s father is in the school, and he looks very angry.” “Oh, is that so?” Kelvin said casually, and that didn’t seem like the kind of response Jacob was expecting to hear from him. “You don’t seem bothered about this, Kelvin!” Jacob said nervously while they were headed to the classroom block. He was holding onto the straps of his backpack while he kept his eyes

CHAPTER NINETY-TWO Kelvin had just rounded up with the last lecture he had for the day and was walking through the hallway that led outside the classroom block when he saw Jack and his four friends standing close to the door. They were clad in their usual outfit, and it was obvious that they were waiting for Kelvin. Some of the students who were still fascinated by them and who hadn’t given up on them waved at them as they walked through the hallway, moving in and out of the building. “Over here, Kelvin!” Jack waved at Kelvin who was already aware that they were looking for him, and increased the speed of his pace. “Hello, Jack. What are you guys up to?” “We are planning a house party tonight, and we would want you to come! I promise you, it will be fun! There will be drinks, and the ladies will be there too. Trust me, it’s gonna be so much fun!” Jack seemed very excited, but when he was that Kelvin wasn’t intrigued by everything he said, the smile on his face vanished, and so di

CHAPTER NINETY-THREE Jack’s house was filled with a lot of students positioned at different corners, dancing and shaking several parts of their bodies to the rhythm of the loud disco music playing in the background. His parents were hardly around, and because they were out on one of their usual business trips, he decided to throw a house party with his friends without any reason to celebrate. All that mattered was that the ladies were going to be in attendance and that there was going to be enough to drink. Some of the notorious students had already lighted their blunts and were puffing at several corners of the building. Some of the youngsters who were outside were jumping into the pull, splashing water all over the place amidst the exciting screams they made, especially from the girls. “Who is that?” One of the male students standing by the pool said as soon as they saw the blue Ferrari spider driving slowly toward the building, everyone who heard what he said turned to the driv

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR It seemed as though Brian had gotten tired of speaking to Kelvin through his mind, and she appeared in front of him, clad in a strange costume that made Kelvin laugh at her. “What? What’s wrong with what I am wearing? Don’t you think it’s nice?” Vella looked at her blue fairy costume just to make sure she was putting the right thing she had in mind. “Is it the color? Maybe I should switch to something more…colorful.” She snapped her fingers at once, and changed the color of the costume to red. “How about this? What do you think?” She placed her hands on her waist and looked at Kelvin with so much anticipation written on her face while she waited for him to give her his opinion.She paid attention to the sound of the music playing inside the building, and began to move her body from one side to the other, causing Kelvin to laugh really hard. “Can we not do this, Vella? You look very funny in that costume, and I think you should go for something else. Something

CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE The man who Leisa punched was so furious that he growled angrily, and leaned forward over the counter to grab her. “That’s not a good way to treat a lady, don’t you think so?” Kelvin was on time to pull the man backward with his left hand while he put a smile on his face. “Who the hell are you? Get your hands off me!” The man grunted angrily, glaring at Kelvin who lifted his hands slowly without letting go of his smile. “I am just her friend. I am not here for any kind of trouble, okay? I am just here to see Mr. Darell .” Kelvin looked at the five men surrounding him, and it was obvious that he had succeeded in pissing them off. He took two steps backward while his hands were still in the air, but they moved closer to him, making sure that he didn’t have any space to escape. Leisa was relieved that her assailants had moved away from her, but she was worried that Kelvin was not going to be able to defend himself against the five of them. “You made a terrible

CHAPTER NINETY-SIX Leisa wanted to believe the words she heard from Kelvin, but she couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t get hurt by Raph’s dagger. “Leisa ? Don’t be scared, okay? I am not going to hurt you, I promise.” Kelvin reassured her again and waited patiently until she eventually decided to listen to him. After a few seconds of struggling with the conflict in her nerves, Leisa sighed heavily, and then she managed to get a grip on herself. “I will listen to you only if you explain everything to me. You are going to tell me how you were able to do that.” Leisa said nervously, looking at Kelvin who nodded after a few seconds. “I agree, I will tell you everything you need to know. Can we go somewhere private and talk?” Kelvin said when he realized that everyone was staring at him without any plans of looking away any time soon. “Just give me a few minutes.” Leisa retorted almost immediately, and then she walked back to the counter to put things in order before leadi

CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN Kelvin watched the children with keen attention, and he couldn’t get rid of the nostalgic feeling that crept into his body, making him smile even without knowing it. He watched as some of them grabbed Leisa ’s hands and her clothes, and led her toward the only couch inside the house. “Leisa ! We made some cupcakes for you!”“Oh! Really?” Leisa chuckled, looking at the children who seemed very excited about the words from the teenage boy who opened the door. He was the oldest among them and was obviously the leader. “I will be right back!” He ran off at once and returned a few seconds later with a plastic plate that contained two pieces of cupcakes. “We knew that you would be very exhausted and hungry by the time you get back, and we decided to make this for you.” He handed the plate over to Leisa who laughed pleasantly. “Oh, Dave! This is lovely! That’s so sweet of you! All of you!” Leisa looked at the cupcakes with a smile on her face while the children

CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHTWaking up the next morning, Kelvin couldn’t stop thinking about his encounter with Leisa and the little children who reminded him so much about himself. Growing up in the orphanage was too tough for him, and he had to struggle his way to be able to put himself in school, moving from one job to the other in order to make a living. He couldn’t have much for breakfast and even the Chauffeur noticed that he was unusually quiet throughout the ride from the castle down to Hilton’s college. “We are here, Lord Kelvin,” Andy said calmly after turning to look at Kelvin who was still lost in thought. He had been staring at him through the rearview mirror, wondering what had kept him thinking for such a long time. “Thank you, Andy. I will see you after school.” Kelvin got out of the car and shut the door at once before he walked away while the Chauffeur watched him for a few seconds before he drove out of the school premises. Kelvin expected to see Jacob who usually wai

CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINEKelvin saw that the old lady was gradually becoming very apprehensive, and he looked for a means to get her to calm down. He forced a smile on his face, but that still wasn’t enough to get her to calm down. “Where is Jacob? What happened to him?”“I need you to calm down, Miss Thompson. Jacob is safe, he is probably out there on one of his jobs.” “I don’t believe that! Jacob would never go anywhere without telling me!” The old lady stood up from her seat at once and struggled to walk toward Kelvin who hurriedly grabbed her when he noticed that she was about to stagger. “What happened to Jacob? Tell me! He said he was going to a party with you last night!” She looked into Kelvin’s eyes, making him look away at once, cringed by a little guilt. “Please, have a seat, Miss Thompson. I promise to tell you everything that happened.” Kelvin gently led the old lady back to her seat. He removed the wool, the scissors, and the knitting needle from the cha

CHAPTER ONE HUNDREDKelvin remained in his car for several minutes, staring at the pair of glasses resting in his hand.They belonged to Jacob.There was no doubt about it.Kelvin had seen Jacob wear them countless times, and the small scratch on the left side of the frame was enough to confirm it.But how had they ended up in Jack's backyard?He slowly tightened his grip around the glasses before releasing a deep sigh.“Something is wrong.”.He had tried to remain optimistic since discovering that Jacob was missing, but everything he had learned that afternoon was pointing in the same direction.Jack had lied to him.Reggie had lied to him.And now Jacob's glasses had been found behind Jack's house.Kelvin leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.For a few seconds, he tried to put the events together.Jacob had attended the party with him.Kelvin had left because Vella warned him that Elias was close and that he needed to find the Hunter.He had expected Jacob to return home safe
