Chapter 004 Darrell's Call

Christopher 

Darrell and I have been friends ever since we were little kids and we have grown to become more like brothers. We have always had each other's backs in tough times and also whenever either or both of us got into trouble. Seeing him go through a lot of emotions because of his mother's situation touched me deeply, he needed emotional support at a time like this and I would be there for him. 

I couldn't help but wonder why his father, the Alpha, would not let him see his own mother. No matter the crime one has committed, their loved ones should be allowed to see them. Not allowing people see their loved one who have been put in prison seemed unfair because if that person is found guilty of the crime they were accused of, they get either the death penalty or the life sentence. And they are usually taken to a different confinement when they get the life sentence. 

We would not be here trying to break the law if the law was fair to begin with. Darrell needed to see his mother, the only parent who truly loves and cares about him, and I was going to help him. I hoped that he would be successful with the sedatives; I was quite curious as to how he was going to go about it but he only said he had his 'resources'. I hoped his resources would come through for him. 

After waiting in hiding for about 25 minutes, the person who usually brought food to the guards finally showed up. He was an omega so I knew I would have no problem getting him to comply. I quickly brought out my phone to take his picture and saw that my phone battery was very low. Before I could launch the camera app, the phone died on me. How could I have let this happen? "Damn it!" I said to myself. I started thinking of what to do next. I could not leave where I was to get a power bank because the omega would be gone by then, so I decided to do something a bit reckless. 

I left my post at the oak tree and went to wait for the omega at the left side of the prison building where he came from. I was going to intercept him when he came out, so I stood there and waited. After about 5 minutes, he came out carrying a food flask. 

He was stunned when he saw me but he still managed to greet me. "Good afternoon Beta Christopher" he said with a shaky voice. 

"Good afternoon omega" I replied to him. "What is your name?" I asked him. 

"Kingsley sir" he replied. 

"Kingsley, what time do you take dinner to the prison guards?" I asked him. 

"At 7pm sir" he replied. 

"Alright Kingsley, bring out your phone and take my number, call me at exactly 6:45pm today. Do you understand?" I asked him. He brought out his phone looking confused and I typed in my phone number and asked him to save it as Chris. 

"Am I in trouble sir?" he asked me. 

"You are perfectly fine. As long as you do as I have instructed you and say nothing to anyone, you have nothing to worry about. Now off you go" I said to him and let him go. 

For his sake and ours, I hoped he would not say anything about our encounter to anyone. I should pay more attention to my phone henceforth. What happened was embarrassing and I hoped Darrell would not be offended when I let him know what had just happened. I quickly left the area to go charge my phone battery. I made a mental note to get a power bank sooner than later. What I had done was an improvisation and I hoped it wouldn't come back to bite us in the ass. 

I got to my father's house and ran straight to my room to plug my phone for it to charge. Good thing I had a fast charger; I switched it on the moment it got to 5%. A message came in from Christopher. I opened it and it read "I can't reach you, what is the update? Get back to me when you see this". I was about to text him back when my mother came into my room unannounced. 

"Chris, honey, where have you been since morning? I have been looking for you. You've not had breakfast or lunch today. What have you been up to?" She asked, sounding worried. 

I replied to her saying "I was with Darrell, mom. We were having an important discussion". She looked at me for a few seconds and eventually left. I texted Darrell to let him know that I had some luck finding the guy that takes food to the prison guards. He replied instantly: 

"Good, I'll call you as soon as I get the sedatives. Stay by the phone"

I replied to him with a thumbs up emoji and went downstairs to get something to eat. 

I took my food back to my room to eat up there. While I was at it, I decided to read a comic book. I have always enjoyed reading comics since I was a child. I picked up the newest one in my collection and flipped through the pages. Something the protagonist said caught my attention. It read: 

"It does not matter how much time we have, if we are not making a change, helping one another and shining our light in a world as dark as ours".

Reading that line deepened my sensitivity and encouraged me to do all I can to help Darrell, and to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever I can and to whoever might need helping. I continued reading while waiting for Darrell to call.

    Darrell I searched through my mother's bathroom cabinets but could not find any sedatives. All I found were aspirin and some antibiotics. I went to my father's bathroom to see if I would find something. I doubted I would find any but I had to explore all avenues. I looked through his cabinets but found nothing useful to me. I was disappointed, not because I was expecting my parents to be into drugs but because I would now have to reach out to Lilith, and I really did not want to. I brought out my phone and searched for her contact. I found it and dialed. She picked up on the second ring and spoke with a sultry voice which did not have its intended effect on me "Hi handsome. Missed me?" Paying no attention to her question, I replied "I need to see you immediately. Meet me at Nelly's restaurant". I have not eaten since morning and it was already 3:00 in the afternoon so I would use that opportunity to recharge my belly there. Before I could hang up, she replied "in a heartbeat". It

    Darrell I walked out of the restaurant feeling satisfied. It was still 3:45 in the afternoon. I believed I gave Lilith enough time to get the pills. So I decided to meet up with Christopher to get the full details of his encounter with the server. I brought out my phone from my breast pocket and dialled his number. The call rang out. I dialled his number again and he picked up on the third ring. "What's going on, Chris? I told you to stay by the phone" was what I said when he picked up. "I'm sorry bro, I fell asleep," he replied. "So what's up? Any luck with the sedatives?" he asked. "Yeah, meet me at the armory in 2 minutes" I replied to him and hung up. I could have gone to his place to meet him but I did not want to be held up by his mother. The woman asks a lot of questions and it always gets on my nerves. The last time I went over to his place, that was the day after my mother was put in prison, Christopher's mother asked a bunch of questions that annoyed me to the point o

    DarrellChristopher always had a way of making me feel better whenever I was feeling down. I appreciated his friendship a whole lot and I'm glad I met him in this lifetime. He has been nothing but supportive throughout the years I've known him. Just as he has promised to always have my back, I will always have his. I brought out my phone to call Lilith to find out how she was doing with the favour I asked of her as it was already 4:30 pm. As I was about to dial her number when my father linked me. "Yes, father." I answered him. "Come to the house now," he ordered and broke the link. What did he want from me now? I should be heading to Nelly's to meet up with Lilith for the sedatives but my father decided to see me now. I guess I will have to ask Christopher to represent me instead, I would not want to reschedule with Lilith. Whatever my father wanted from me would probably take a while so I had to make sure all grounds are covered and nothing is left hanging while I'm absent. I li

    DarrellI rushed out of Nelly's after taking the pills from Lilith. I had to find a place to crush them but I knew I couldn't go home lest my father sees me. I wasn't supposed to be around anyway, I didn't want him finding out I delegated the errand he sent me to Christopher. He would definitely flip out if he should find out; I've seen him angry a lot of times and it is not something to look forward to. He could break a wolf's spirit when he's angry. I headed to the armoury and found a quiet corner to crush the pills to dust. The time was already a quarter past six, so I headed to the prison building to wait for the time. As I was walking, I bumped into Lilith. She had a backpack, so I guessed she was going to work on somebody. "You got a gig?" I asked her, trying to make small talk even though I didn't really have the time. I just thought it would be awkward bumping into someone you know without saying something to them.

    Christopher I still couldn't see clearly after being knocked down by Darell. That was quite a blow for speaking the truth, I mean I did call his mother a bitch but only because it was true. "Darell that punch was not necessary. You and I both know that I didn't say anything new, you need to learn how to manage your anger," I said to him sitting on the floor where I fell and nursing my temple. "And you need to watch what you say about my family," he retorted in anger. Darrell hasn't been the same ever since his mother, who's the Luna of our pack was accused of murder; it is claimed she allegedly killed the Beta of our pack who was formerly the Gamma but rose in ranks through 'dubious' means. Before he maneuvered his way to that position, my father was Beta; but Darrell chose to keep me as his Beta and made sure everyone in our generation referred to me as such. It honestly felt weird, bearing the Beta title while my dad bore the Gamma title. It was quite unheard of in the history

All the things we have been suggesting were either too dangerous or just stupid. "You know you can just walk up to them and order them to take you to your mother, right?" Chris said. It sounded right but I knew better. "I don't have that kind of authority, Chris. Moreover, don't you think my father would have ordered them not to let anyone visit any detainees?" I pointed out. I knew my father would have put orders in place to keep my mother from making contact with people and that would be no surprise.
