Jason walked in and beckoned on the girls to come for a meeting. "We have a situation." He announced and the girls watched him with keen interest. "After visiting Mr. Peters today. He tipped me off information." He shut his eyes and exhaled and that might lead us to something concerning Matteo." Stacy adjusted on the couch and leaned forward to get the gist. "We are to search for a man with a huge deep scar from his shoulder to his upper arm, at all the taverns, clubs and bars we can find down the street." "Even her?" Blaze asked Jason while her eyes rested on Stacy, who took glances at Jason and Blaze."Of course, I can do it!" Mouthed Stacy and Blaze arched her brows at her. "Stacy will go with you and I will go alone, ok with that?" "Better.""A little problem, I have to meet Bethany's tomorrow by 8 pm, it's her birthday tomorrow." "Sure," Jason replied and left them in the living room. Stacy stared at Blaze before asking her a question. "How are you feeling now?""I'm ok."
AT THE RESTAURANTBethany hit her heels on a restaurant's floor nervously, waiting for her unknown "Daredevil" date."Will he come? Is he even real? What if he's AI?" Her eyes widened and she shook the thought off her mind. She panicked, waiting for Her dad, daredevil and Stacy. Her phone rang and it was an unknown number, she hesitantly picked up before pressing the phone against her ear. "Hello?""Hello, it's daredevil." She heard the voice from the other side and stood abruptly. Her eyes scanned around the hall even though she doesn't know what and who to look for. She stood up and took a few steps happily toward the door, at least he was here."What are you wearing?" They chorused at the same thing and laughed. "Ok, I'll go first." Replied Bethany while she gradually approached the door. "I'm wearing a backless long sliver gown and you?" She halted at the door and saw a man from behind answering a call. "I'm wearing a blue tuxedo." She smiled when she saw that he's arrived not u
Stacy's phone lay on the bench she sat in silence. She gasped tiredly waiting for Jason to call or something... To know whether he was fine, that's when her mind drifted off to Bethany. She stood on her feet, totally shocked as soon as she stared at her watch. "Oh, my God! I'm dead." She picked up her phone and covered her mouth after she saw five calls from Bethany not long ago. "Shit!" "What?" Uttered Blaze."I'm late, late for Bethany's event. She's gonna kill me!" She turned to Blaze nervously and her phone began ringing. Blaze picked it up and it was Jason. "Meet me down the streets, beside the bar... What about Stacy?" Jason asked from the other side of the phone. "She's here, about to leave for Bethany's? Birthday?" Stacy nodded and ran off after knowing that Jason is ok. She went to the bus stop and boarded a bus. "It's so late." She lowered her head in disappointment.***********Blaze arrived at the destination she was told. She saw a woman in a skimpy outfit, tied up and w
Mr Douglas enjoyed every bit of the event with Bethany and her "pretend" boyfriend, Xavier. Bethany talked about some funny moments between her and her dad when she was a kid, they all couldn't help but laugh. Mr Douglas dropped his car keys, mistakenly and bent to pick them up tipsily when Xavier called Bethany, she turned to answer but got a quick kiss on her lips. Her hands touched her lips and her eyes increased. "What was that for?" She asked curiously."Your smiles are fake... Your dad might notice, I don't want to be made a fool here, so let's play the game to the end... Cheer up." Hearing that, her face softened.Mr Douglas raised his head and dropped his keys on the table, releasing a quick smile. Meanwhile, Bethany couldn't stop thinking about the petty kiss. She looked at her dad and muttered a "thank you" "I hope he doesn't make you sad." Mr Douglas asked and gulped down a glass of wine..."He's the best boyfriend, I could ever have." Bethany stared at Xavier emotionally,
"What am I going to do? This is getting really bad..." Samuel paced around his cramped room and his hand massaging his jaw. He plopped down on his chair, with his eyes studying his ceiling and his arms resting on the armchair... While he continually gazed at the ceiling, a memory slid in.FLASHBACK:Samuel could be seen in a gaming house with other men. "Jackpot." He smiled and gathered the coins to his side. It was the fifth time he has won today and it infuriated the men he played with. One man leaned toward another and whispered: "He seems suspicious, he's probably cheating."The man being whispered to looked at the grinning Samuel and replied. "Check him out, discreetly." The other man hesitated before leaving stylishly. The next round of the game began and Samuel stretched his arms to get ready. People were already expecting to see him win again... He smiled and played his card.The man who was sent to check out on him stood behind and tilted his head to observe properly. He saw
"Hi, welcome guys." Blaze greeted happily but got ignored by Stacy. She took the stairs gently and entered her room leaving Jason to Blaze. "What's with the sullen looks?" Jason shrugged and got close to her. "Why are you still awake?" "I'm waiting for the wrestling tournament finale by ten pm. I even bought some popcorn on the way." She shoved her hands into the popcorn causing some pieces to fall to the ground. "I can pass," Jason uttered and took the stairs to his room. Plopping on his bed, he couldn't stop wondering why Stacy hasn't spoken a word to him. He turned to the other side of the bed and remembered how Xavier glared at him... He sprang up from the bed and squinted his eyes. "On a serious note, why the hell was he there with them?" He massaged his jaw, shut his eyes and gasped in frustration. ***********B-General hospital"Thanks for bringing in your dad as fast as possible." The doctor gasped and continued"You need to give your dad some rest, come back tomorrow mor
Bethany arrived at her apartment around 3 am in Xavier's car. She got off and scampered into the building. Xavier gently stepped down and watched her keenly. Before he could get up to his floor, she had disappeared into her room. He took a few steps to her door and tried to knock but he talked himself out of it and entered his room. ********It's a bright morning, Jeremy jogged downhill, listening to "Love Me." by Nazitha. He hummed the tune, jogging delightfully, and was just about to start cooling down when he spotted a familiar face by the roadside. With a satisfied grin on his face, he crossed over and pulled in a deep breath of crisp air before he reached her. Alya had her ears blocked with her earphone as she jogged by. He cracked a smile and waved at her. "Good morning." Alya glanced at him with her hand shielding her face from the sun. "You again?" Removing the earphones from her ears, She paused and narrowed her eyes. "Are you stalking me?""Me? Naa!" She creased her brow a
Her eyes bulged and she made to stand up when Samuel held her hands. "Please, just for a minute. Please." He pleaded. She squeezed her eyes shut and turned to him. "What's your problem?""It's been a while, Stacy." He uttered as his eyes scanned around the environment, looking out for Jason. Stacy observed him again, she knew something wasn't good, his looks deteriorated, and his outfit looked odd unlike the Samuel she dated that worshipped his dressing style. He was looking quite haggard and lost."I want to say I'm sorry for everything-""Keep your apologies to yourself. There are highly irrelevant now." She spat, looking away from him. He ran his hand in his hair not knowing what to say. Immediately his phone rang and showed caller ID A22, his heart thudded in fear, he switched it off and shifted it aside."How can I make up for what I did?" He asked again looking so pathetic. Stacy turned to him with a blank expression. "Don't approach me again, stay in your lane. I've forgiven yo
