Canvas Of Secrets CHAPTER THIRTY - SEVEN
After a while, the doctor came over to the house and I had already been moved to another room to avoid revealing Julian’s hidden room in the study. I sat there on the bed with my injured ankle up on the bed too. The doctor came closer and checked the previous band aid on it.“Thank goodness, whoever did this must have been a life saver…….it slowed down the swelling else you might have as well lost your leg.” the doctor said as he undressed it and dressed it with new products and gave me an injection on my thigh.“She just needs to rest well and not strain the ankle, she will be fine” the doctor said to Julian and Frederick and then left the room. “You heard him, you need to rest. Glad you managed to get the first dressing done” Julian said as he came closer to tuck me in. “Actualy, I didn't dress my ankle myself. I got help” I said.“You got help? While as a hostage in Xavier's place?” Frederick asked and Julian looked at me for an answer.“Yes, Xavier’s right hand man helped me wi

Marcus was seen having a smoke in a secluded place after work hours when he suddenly remembered the guys talking about me being rescued from Xavier’s place. A quick thought of calling his father crossed his mind and he decided to go with it. He put out the cigar brought out his phone and dialed his father’s number, it rang. “Hello?….Marcus?” Mr Thompson asked, equally surprised. “Yes, it's me” Marcus answered. “I didn't think you would call me again” Mr Thompson said. “Well, don't get your hopes up” Marcus said. “You still don't think it's ideal to return home?” Mr Thompson asked?“That is not why I called, alright?…….. I heard Lexi got out” Marcus said. “Lexi got out? How do you mean she got out?” Mr Thompson asked. “Well if I knew I wouldn't have called you, would I?” Marcus said. “Xavier isn't going to like this, neither will Mr Bla……” Mr Thompson suddenly paused. “Mr who?” Marcus asked curiously.“It's nothing, I just know that Xavier won't take this lightly and I fear i

For the first time I slept perfectly fine with ease ever since I got kidnapped by Julian and then by Xavier. I didn't think I would ever be happy that I was back to Julian’s residence and not only that but sleep with ease. I got out of the bed gently as I didn't want to stress my ankle just as the doctor recommended. I walked over to the box where Julian had put all the art supplies and ruffling through, I brought out my paint brushes, colors and my color palette. Looking at the medium sized canvas rested on the wall, I gently bent down and flipped it to the front and I became more amazed at the little piece I had painted. I myself couldn't understand how I was able to paint that but I knew that there was more to this little piece. I lifted up the canvas and set it up with the stands right beside the table where I also set up my colors and brushes. Something was missing, I needed a chair for me to sit on and there wasn't any in the hidden room. ************************************

Xavier has been skeptical ever since I was rescued from his residence. He has been on edge ever since because he finally realized there was no way to get me back with ease because he clearly knows Julian rescued me and who Julian is to Mr Blackwood. “What do we do now sir?” Marve asked.“Just shut the f*ck up!…… can't you see I am trying to think?” Xavier said as he paced the room. “Damn it! I don't have the original painting and not even the supposed counterfeit and I don’t freaking have her!!” Xavier yelled out. Just then Xavier’s phone rang and it was a call from Mateo.“Sir, we’ve got an issue here at the wharf” Mateo reported.“Then freaking take care of it!” Xavier yelled out in frustration. “I would have sir but I figured you needed to know” Mateo said. “Urrgggg!!” Xavier yelled and hung up.“Get the car ready!” Xavier ordered Marve as he walked out of the room. *******************************************************Sooner or later, Xavier arrived at his wharf with Marve

Detective Garrett was seen trying to make some coffee back at the precinct when his informant called and he picked up.“Got anything for me,” Detective Garrett asked in a low voice to avoid being heard.“Yes, that’s why I called,” the informant said.“What have you got?” Detective Garrett said. “So I was able to find out some information about the Thompson kid….. apparently he was once charged for car theft so I asked around and I heard he left home of recent,” the informant said.“You mean his family home?” Detective Garrett asked.“Yes,” the informant said. “Any idea of where it is located? Or the last time he was there?” Detective Garrett.“It was a couple of days ago, he was seen storming out of the house after having an argument with a man in his 50s,” the informant said. “A man in his 50s?” Detective Garrett asked.“Yeah, that’s what I heard,” the informant said.“Any existing relative?” Detective Garrett asked.“Not that I am aware of………. his last guardian was his father” th

“That must have been Miss Lexi” Mr Walker said.“Why do you think things went bad when the orphanage had the visit?” Julian asked.“After Mr and Mrs Carter handled the event, his spokesman delivered an invitation to the sponsor’s residence to the director” she said.“He told me about the invite and was quite skeptical about going but I encouraged him to go because I figured him going would make things better for the orphanage but I was wrong” she said, slightly sobbing.“What were you wrong about? What happened?” Julian asked, quite hooked and curious.“A couple of days after the director went over to this anonymous sponsor’s residence, he suddenly became distant and then I suddenly noticed that the kids started missing.” She said.“Missing? How” Mr Walker asked.“At first it was 6 year old Josiah then it was 4 year old Nyla and then the numbers kept increasing” she said, now fully sobbing. “How high did the number increase?” Julian asked.She couldn’t control her tears and this made

Miss Caitlyn told Detective Garrett the very same thing she told Julian and Mr Walker and when he also showed her a picture of David Thompson, she recognized him as well.“I'm going to register you under a witness protection, your involvement in this is quite deep and I can't have you being in danger or at risk…… I hope you would be able to boldly testify when the time comes,” Detective Garrett asked.“Yes I will Detective, I owe it to those innocent souls” Miss Caitlyn said with teary eyes.“Thank you so much, here is my card……call me when you feel you need to” Detective Garrett said as he stretched forth his card to Miss Caitlyn and she collected it.“I will be on my way now” Detective Garrett said as he took his leave.As he walked towards his car, he brought out his phone and called his colleague, she was an older colleague in her early 40s and had been in that precinct longer than other officers. “Hey, I need you to assign a watch over this address please……I am gonna send it to

Julian and Mr Walker were finally able to get back to the residence and I was halfway through the painting. I had to stop at some point as I noticed that it was taking a toll on me so I took a nap. I suddenly woke up to the sound of the door creaking and it was Julian trying to shut the door behind him.“You are back?….when did you get back?” I asked with a frizzy voice as I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm, trying to get back into reality.“A couple of minutes ago……. I actually tried not to wake you up” Julian said as he returned to my bed side.“I guess you failed then” I said with a soft smile.I tried to get out of the bed but then Julian stopped me.“Oh you don't have to get out of bed…..you seem tired” Julian said as he sat right beside me and patted me back into bed. “Yea, I got stuck while painting and did a lot of brainstorming…..how was where you went to?” I asked.Julian hesitated for a while as though he had wanted to tell me all about it but something changed his

Mr Blackwood was still running away with his injured shoulder, accompanied by one security guard as they met with the back up squad detective Garrett requested for. They rushed over to him and had him arrested along with the men that fought with detective Garrett and Frederick while some came upstairs to where we were and arrested the investors, the pharmacist, the hitman and Marcus. I ran over to Julian the moment I broke away from the hitman’s grip as I held Julian in my arms.“Julian, I am here, look at me” I said as I tapped him gently on the face so he could be conscious.Julian was too weak to say a word as he stretched forth his hand and caressed my cheeks and then became unconscious as though he had been withholding until he touched me before he gave up. I held Julian in my arms and wept and cried until then medics came up to where we were and carried him onto a stretcher and out of the building as I and aunt Melda followed them into the ambulance and drove to the hospital.

Marcus stood there with the gun in his hands and couldn't say a word but as soon as he was about to mention a name, Mr Blackwood cut him short. “Dont worry, I know exactly who is responsible for your mother’s death” Mr Blackwood said.He took Marcus’s hand that held the gun and pointed towards David his father. “There, there…..the man responsible” Mr Blackwood said.Marcus became comsfused as to why the gun was pointed ti his father.“No, no….it can't be my father, its Lexi’s fault that my mother died” Marcus argued.“Of course not! He has been feeding you lies all along, I am sure he can say the same, hmm?” Mr Blackwood said as he looked at David knowing that David was at a stage where he would collect every blame and guilt. “Marcus, I am sorry….. I should have—I should have come clean about everything with you, I am so sorry son” David apologized sincerely.“No, mom wouldn't have died if you had listened to her! All of this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't brought Lexi home!

“Sir, Marcus is at the door” the hitman said. “Let him in” Mr Blackwood said and the hitman let Marcus in.“Where is my son?” Mr Blackwood asked from where he sat.“Sir, he—he escaped and I am sure he is headed here with the detective as we speak, I am sorry sir” Marcus said. “That's okay, that was my plan after all” Mr Blackwood said and this had Marcus confused.“ I don't understand sir” Marcus said.“Why do you think I let you handle Julian?….I knew you weren't up to par to handle him” Mr Blackwood said. Marcus felt inferior and like a failure at this point.“Not to worry, you have other tasks to fulfill” Mr Blackwood said.Suddenly the fourth investor stood.“What is going on here? What is this crap about a detective coming here? Are you trying to pin us all here on purpose and run with our money?” the fourth investor asked as other investors wondered if this was true. “Of course not, you don't have to worry about the detective, he is a minor issue that can be taken care of” M

At last, the day of the event was here. Julian was all ready to head to the address that was sent to him through a message. Detective Garrett came over to the residence as he was aware of the message sent. “Here, this is a tracker. You can have it installed anywhere you want” detective Garrett said and handed over the tracker chip to Julian and he collected it. “I will secretly have your location and tail you without being seen, you have to be careful Julian even though you think he still believes you're his son” detective Garrett said.“I will” Julian said and installed the chip into his shirt pocket and wore a black leather jacket over it. Julian found his way downstairs niw as he was ready to leave to the location, he got into his car and drove off.*******************************************Julian drove to the entrance of this location and it seemed like an underground bunker but with a garage where cars could be parked.

Julian and Frederick finally arrived at Marve’s place and luckily they met with Marve but unluckily not with me.“What do you mean she is no longer here?” Julian asked. “I am sorry Julian, she left a couple of hours ago. She didn't want us to let you know she was with us” Marve said.“I understand…..Where is she now?” Julian asked.“To be honest, I have no idea but she mentioned she was going to return to you when she had cleared her head” Marve said.“There is a chance she might be back at the residence” Fredrick said.“We must have missed ourselves while coming” Julian said and headed back into the car, followed by Frederick.******************************************I was not back at the residence yet as I was still trying to find myself so I had lodged in a motel. I took a cold bath and was finally prepared to head back to the residence and figure things out with Julian instead of running away.

Aunt Melda wiped Julian’s tears and carried him as she tried to make him calm down from crying. “Where are your parents?” Aunt Melda asked but there was no response from Julian as he had calmed down now and was comfortable being in her arms.“Don’t you want to tell me? Where is your mom kiddo?” Aunt Melda asked. “Ish shcream” Julian mumbled.“Ice cream?
