Chapter Thirty-Two
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWORoseline watched the ambulance van pull away, with mixed feelings. Not like the mixed feelings were something to be alarmed about. It was just sadness and happiness.She was sad that he had to go through such a traumatizing incident but glad that she had been able to make it in time before he crashed his skull open.She watched the van until it disappeared from her sight, from the lonely road that branched away from her father's usual slaughterhouse.She had not had time to assure him of her love, to placate the fear that still lingered in his eyes.She could only imagine the fear that sliced through his heart. She shuddered, realizing that the same fear was working wonders in her too.She chose not to think about the shock that still hovered around, despite the amount of fear that sizzled in his eyes like electricity.He probably must have tried to make the connections by now. She shook her head sadly. She should've thought farther about this situation her dad ha
Chapter Thirty-One
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONEDavid had only to close his eyes for gravity to let him crash to the floor. He noticed the whooshing sound heightening but almost did not get it when it vanished. But he could at least tell that the flapping had ended and that he had met his doom.He waited for a trumpet sound; something to signal his entry into heaven or even hell. There was none. He waited longer. Maybe there was some delay in transmission. An angel must have forgotten to place him where he's supposed to be.But there still was no trumpet, not even its equivalent in hell; bull's moo. There was nothing. His childhood memory of the church was feeling threatened by this long silence.Then he heard the sound, sounds, the panic around. The screams and manly breath heaving.Commands flew everywhere, banging his ear drums with the stress on the different objects of the sentence.“Get him this, get him—” the sound got muffled by a movement around him.Someone was trying to pull him up, or was the perso
The Deed
CHAPTER THIRTY.“Your time is up,” Mr. Denver’s voice was barely above a whisper, laced with weakness that David doubted could show on his face.He swallowed hard. He could hear but could not see. But he didn't need to see to know who was speaking. He had seen him through the peephole. Common sense should have warned him of the strangeness of the visit. But he had smiled it off; glad to see him.He now wondered painfully, what about Mr. Denver's presence could ever cause him to smile?Bitterness swelled in his throat, spreading to his tongue. His chest compressed. He struggled to breath as the enormousness of his stupidity fell on him.He was the dumbest secret agent to ever live. He was for real, the worst. How could he have been so vulnerable? The thought sliced through him with embarrassment. He preferred his face covered. He didn't want to see any emotion play out on the man's face nor did he wish to be seen.“Didn't you hear me?” The voice rose. “I said, your time is up.” His
Chapter Twenty-nine
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINERoseline pulled the covers. The black cover cloth served its purpose. It was the best part of the escapade. A cloth not as soft as the usual one worn but also not as hard and brittle as a bucket. It was the perfect in-between. The perfect one that could fit even a giant's head.Sandra's red hair sprawled out; scattered and disorganized. That perfect cloth had accommodated that mass of hair.Her head fell on her chest, weak, just like her rotational neck. It was bare; both her chest and her arms were bare.As to why she would still have a nightdress on when the time had been running to 10 AM, was a question Roseline didn't try to waste her time thinking of.She dwelled on more present things.The room was stuffy and there were cobwebs around. It might not have been perfect for a bedroom, but it actually wasn't small in size. It was enough for four abductees to fit in together with each of their killers.There was no ceiling, the cobwebs took its place.She had not
Chapter Twenty-Eight
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTDavid sat with his chin in his right palm, his pajamas loose around the wrist but firm at the elbow area.His eyes reflected the red in blood, puffy like buns and dark as clay. His head ached; the position helped reduce that ache.Sunrise met him in the same position, motionless, staring into space.Life had happened to him. Thankfully Roseline and he had not yet taken their marriage seriously. They were at liberty to be wherever they wanted. He had not complained although he was surprised.It didn't show the love he thought Roseline had for him. She had always been all over him. But now, she seemed very distant.She barely met his eyes nor looked lovingly at his direction. The looks she gave him were usually looks of calculation and sometimes, regret.They had not even had sex yet. The closest they had been to sex, was the evening Sandra's madness had reached its peak; the evening she appeared naked as a hairless cat and Roseline had to go naked to send her away
The First Action
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENSandra cracked a smile in her dream, her heart beat normalizing and her tongue relaxing.It was the first time in years. Such a therapeutic feeling had eluded her for years. She relaxed her head more on the pillow, her silk nightdress, together with the comfy cotton bedsheets made the sleep sweeter.She could remain that way forever. But time was up. It was work-day. No laziness would succeed in keeping her pressed to the bed.However, she maintained that smile till she woke up.The sun was already up before her. So its brightness was allowed to slap her hard on the face and erase the lazy sleep that still clouded her lashes. She breathed in, savouring the cold morning air, whisking with the brightness of the sun. She didn't mind. She had gotten what she needed. The file had been destroyed. The source of Fiona's condescension had been removed successfully.Fiona would hold no claim to her destiny anymore. She would be placed where she belonged; without having a
