"Wakie wakie" Were the words he heard as he laid on his bed tiredly that morning. He opened his eyes and the sun shone directly on his face. He sat upright and looked around the room. It was morning already and he could hear the sounds from birds chirping in the backyard. He sighed as he saw Ella in his room looking for something in his wardrobe. "Ain't you gonna join us in the slum?" She asked as she wore her earrings in front of him. She was dressed in a black v neck blouse and black jeans trousers. "I'll join you guys later" He replied from the bed as he removed the duvet from his unclad chest. "Ok, I'm off. I didn't make breakfast you can make for yourself" She said and turned to the door. "Wait" He said to her and she stopped and turned to look at him "About the girl Ray brought to the house. Do you really think it's right?" He asked and she smiled "Eden, there are rules to the gang, one of which states, you can't interfere with the business of your fellow man even if it
They both shrieked and pulled away from each other as they saw him standing behind them. "Alves" Eden said at once as he stood up from the field with Rosa who followed behind him "You were lost and you didn't notice when we arrived. Your brother is on his way here and he'll arrive in no due time. Take her back in before he finds out what you have done" Alves said to him "Oh.. thank you" he said at once. He looked at Rosa who was holding his hand and they both ran away immediately. Alves shook his head as he watched them run to the house. As soon as he took her into the room, he shut the door behind him and walked out. As he walked out of the room,he heard Ray's voice from the living room. He was about to walk out of the passage when he bumped into Ray who was walking into the passage. They both stopped and looked each other eye to eye. Eden walked away from him and he smirked as he watched Eden walk away. Alves stood on the other side of the room watching them. He followed aft
Her fingers caressed his chest slowly as they both laid unclad on the grass before the water He kissed her forehead and she smiled with his arms wrapped around her body. He had never felt this way before and this was a moment he wasn't going to easily forget, he thought as he caressed her back with his palm. Just then, they heard rustling sounds from the bushes. They both sat up and looked around anxiously. "Dress up" He said to her and they both stood up immediately and got dressed. They were still getting dressed, when Alves appeared from the bush. He was dressed in a brown overall coat and boots. He held a hunters gun with one hand and a black hat with his other hand. Rosa shrieked and she hid behind Eden immediately. They both stood facing Alves who wore a smirk on his face as he approached them. "Isn't it time she goes back in?" He asked while looking at Eden He turned to Rosa who was now fully dressed. They were both about to walk away when Alves called him; I'll li
PRESENT He adjusted his black suit as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. He heard a knock on the door and he turned "Come in," He said. The door opened and Juliet walked into the room. She was dressed in a brown overall jacket and black hat which covered her face partially. "Are you set?" She asked and he sighed She walked towards him and placed a palm on his shoulder. "I know this is hard for you. But I promise you Eden, Miguel's killers will not go unpunished" She said to him. He gulped and raised his face to look at her with his hands in his pocket "Come on, everyone is ready. Marilyn is here too," She said to him. He nodded and she held his arm and they both walked out. As they walked down the stairs, he could see a lot of people down the stairs, all dressed in black. He caught sight of Marilyn who was dressed in a black gown with a black scarf wrapped around her face. He could see Sara and some of the girls consoling her from where they stood. He sighed and
"Is everyone back in the mansion?" He asked Lucas who was walking down from the stairs "Yes, I checked and a few of the men are in their rooms" Lucas replied "Did you see Pedri?" He asked "Yeah, he's in his room too. Still mourning" Lucas replied. Eden sighed and nodded. He turned and walked up the stairs. As he got into his room, he took off his dress and went to freshen up. After leaving the shower, he dressed up in a white linen long sleeve and white trousers. He picked up his black sunglasses and looked at the mirror. Just then, a knock came on the door. "Come in," He said with his eyes on the door. The door opened and Sara walked in. She was still dressed in a black outfit and her face was still somber. "How have you been holding up?" She asked as she walked slowly to meet him He nodded and turned away from her. "Are you going out?" She asked "Yeah. To somewhere I can clear my head" He said "I want to come along" She offered "Sara, I need to be alone" He said as
It was dark when he got to the Slum. Everywhere was busy and lit up that night. He could see boys and girls, men and women moving to and fro the slum. As he walked, he could feel every eye on him. He wore a black hood over his head as he strolled along the street of the slum. He heard voices of people whispering on his sides as he walked past them but he didn't care to look sideways. Just then, he saw troops of boys before him. They were all dressed in black and they were all teenagers who were about the same age as him. The boy in front, probably their leader, stopped in front of him. He was tall and well built with light brown skin and dark straight hair. "What do you want?" He asked the boy who was standing in front of him The boy knelt in front of him with his head bowed low. "I am Spider, and these are my boys behind me. We are like lost sheep without a shepherd. Our leader has been murdered and we are looking forward to a new leader who will be capable of leading us.
After the meeting, he walked out of the room with Marilyn beside him. She was dressed in black ripped jeans trousers and a baggy black T-shirt. "I'm grateful for the way Miguel was honoured even after his death" She said to him He smiled wryly and nodded his head with his hands in his pockets. "If you need anything, or someone to talk to, you can always call me. The door of the mansion is always opened to you" He said to her "Gracias" She muttered with her gaze on the floor. She raised her face up to look at him. "I want you to promise me something" She said to him "What?" He asked curiously "Promise me you will let me know when you find Miguel's killers. I want to be there to see him get justice" She said He looked into her eyes and his countenance changed into a more serious one "I promise you" He said and she nodded. She turned to leave and he stood for a while as he watched her leave. He returned to the secret meeting room where the boys were still seated, waiti
He removed his sunglasses as he stepped out of the white Chevrolet Camaro. He was smartly dressed in a blue leather overall jacket and black Derby shoes. He proceeded to the police department with two of his men who were accompanying him. As he walked into the department, all eyes became focused on him. One of the police officers approached him "Bienvenido, Mr Smith, I'll lead the way to the office" He said and he nodded. They all walked past the lobby area and proceeded to a passage which held different offices. They stopped in front of an office on the left side of the passage. The door opened and they all walked into the office. He could see a man sitting on the armchair opposite the desk in the office. His face was bowed low, with a brown hat which was covering his face partially The man looked up and their eyes met. "Welcome, Mr Smith," He heard him speak As their eyes met, he flinched and tried to maintain his composure. The man smiled and stood up from his seat "You c
