The night was windy. Far from being cold, but very windy.
And as Mr McConnell had predicted, it was exactly thirty minutes drive from the house. Including the traffic jams and checkpoints.
We pulled up in front of a neighborhood that seemed almost too empty to be called a neighborhood. All the lights in the houses were out and the only form of life I had seen in the area was a stray dog.
Hunter's reasons for being here? I don't even wanna think about it.
" He said house number twenty seven. Can you see the numbers on the houses? " Mr McConnell asked, breaking the silence. Proving he hadn't been here before too.
" Yes, we're on fifteen" I replied and watched him nod to my response before forging ahead but at a slower rate this time.
But it was only a matter of seconds and we saw ourselves parked in front of house numb

Or even provide a feedback on your meeting with Mr Reid? Nothing??" He couldn't give me an answer because the room was dead silent and all i could hear was the sound of Diane's footsteps walking into another room that looks to me like the kitchen. Hunter wasn't even looking me in the eye. His both hands gripped the table before him and he looked at whatever paper was spread out on it." Hunter I asked a question"" Calm it down Pillis, you sound like an over possessive wife" Diane said as she sauntered out of the kitchen to stand by Hunter's side." Her name's Iris and she has every reason to be angry" He started and then looked to me " I'm sorry for

Iris's pov"Have you got the gun? I can't find it anywhere" I heard Diane from my slumber and the object she was looking for basically rang an alarm in my senses.They were in the living room, and with how dark outside still looked through thr window at the other side of the room I can swear I had slept for only two minutes.And I had a terrible headache" I'm with mine, haven't set eyes on yours since you arrived" Hunter replied so casually like they were talking about a day old casserole that had gone missing." I swear to God, I know I had it on me few hours ago"" It could be in your luggage or something, I'm gonna wake Iris up. We should be heading out now" I heard his footsteps approach the room before he pushed the door open softly like he was trying not to jolt me from my sleep." Iris?" " I'

Hunter got down from the car and so did Diane.Then I followed next. No one's leaving me alone. The men had come with cars, all tinted black by the way, that either blocked the road or flanked by the edges" We were asked to give you this" one of the men with a weirdly orange skin hue said as he handed an envelope to Hunter.Diane just walked straight to one of the other men and showed her whatever she had on her laptop. He keenly read or inspected whatever it was she was showing him and gave a sign for another of his colleague to come over.There had to be at least fifteen men present. If this wasn't enough for a bystander to alert authorities, I don't know what was. I quick reminder to how lonely this path was again. And how you could get murdered and no one, not a single soul would be able to find you. The thou

" little bo peep, has lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them" That's all she had been doing all day, singing rhymes and short songs that popped into her head as she scrunched up her body by the window and peered outside." leave them alone and they'll come home, bringing their tails behind them" She was lonely.As little as she was, an emptiness sat in the core of her stomach and burned deep to her heart. Silent tears were still dripping from her cerulean blue eyes and from time to time, she slowly wiped them away. She looked white, very pale and sickly. Her skin could pass off as a piece of white sandpaper or even cardboard. As the only man she had gotten used to sat across the room from her and watched her frail figure tremble.From cold or fear, he wasn't sure.But one

More roads.We just kept taking curves and bends that felt like they lasted an infinity. For the past few hours I just continued cloud watching and had seen every figure I could.Yup... That was definitely a lego toy. I was honestly tired of staring out my window and there was an eery silence between us. Not like Hunter was shunning me, but he looked deep in thought and I honestly wasn't in the mood to ask him anything at the moment.But I was bored so I did." Hunter?"He didn't even hear me, just staring into a distance with only God knows what running through his mind."Hunter?" I called out a little louder and he responded with a hum." Can I turn on the radio?"" Yeah, sure" his answer came quick and short. Not like I needed more words anyway.I

Iris p.o.v.The ride became too quiet.I know there was silence before but now its just deathly. And I didn't know how to react anymore. I just want to go home.Not home to New York. Home to Saint Alamos. Home to my parents.Just Home, I need that break. I fucking need it.Hunter noticed the drift between us. It was obvious and it was heavy. There was an unknown elephant in the car and neither of us knew what it was to talk about addressing it.Mrs Phoebe is dead.That can't sink in.. It just cannot sink in.All I did was leave to find my daughter and Mrs Phoebe is dead. Meredith is missing. For heaven sakes where do I start with the heart ache. I don't even know if my daughter is alive!The entire universe is spinning. Its spinning in every direction.

We had turned off the music player some minutes ago and continued driving in silence. A really comfortable silence this time around.The news just sat so uncomfortably at the bottom of my belly.Mrs. Phoebe.What exactly did she do to deserve this? Just what?She never hurt anyone, if anything she stayed in her lane. She kept minding her business. Only gave contributions when asked. Never said a bad word to anyone regardless.But now she’s dead and it’s all because I put her in this mess.If I hadn’t gone to her in my pregnancy, she may have never gotten involved with me.She may have been alive.The guilt is killing me, no doubt.My cold feet if possible, just produced ice on my soles.I was getting hungry again and I think the rumble of my stomach gave it away.To be fair, it’s been a while since

With chaste, we hopped into the car and zoomed off.Hunter was driving at a speed of 102km per hour and I have never been happier that no cars were on the road.Note, loneliness is beneficial sometimes.Tell your kids.“ Hunter slow down… we need to be alive to save Louie” I managed to say as my body swerved when we took a turn at a sharp bend.Seat belt.. where is my seatbelt?Before any other action, I made sure I buckled my seatbelt and held my body firmly.“ Hunter please slow down” I yelled out again as we climbed a bump that I hadn’t gotten the chance to see.At the rate he’s going.. I won’t be able to see anything in life if we mistakenly crash into something.And I mean instant death.“ what would happen to us if I slow down would be a lot worse than the speed I’m going.

FINALLY!!The BULLIED series has come to an end.I want to thank all those who supported me throughout this book and waited till the end… I love you all so much.I always said “I would never support rape” and this is me still saying that I do not support it.I had an idea and a plot, I was inspired by an article I found on Stockholm syndrome… that was why I found the Book 1 necessary to be written, so you can see the back story.I also added other character lives because I would love to be doing spin offs and I wouldn’t want to begin it with back stories of characters you already knew.I was really young when I started this book, with a lot of ideas for it but so little skill hence I wasn’t able to describe some scenes or emotions the way I had it in my head but this only goes to say I would be editing this book from the beginning.I actually thought it was a good idea to not write the main concep

Iris p.o.v.Blankness…That was all I could use to describe what I was feeling at this point.Cause no nouns, no adjectives nor verb could describe what was going on with me.Not just with me, but with everyone else.The entire room was silent while the Judge prepared his verdict in the back room, the only voices you could hear was the muttering of a policewoman to Dylan trying to congratulate him with her words.“You did the right thing.”Her words sounded more like a consolation than an appraisal.Everyone knew it was the right thing, so why did it feel so wrong to me? Its been years and I never thought a day like this would actually ever come.Flashbacks from nights before kept re-occurring in my head, like possibly it was all a dream and someone would come wake me to ask “Are you okay?”But it seemed like everyone was also lost in the dream, in

There was a gunshot in the air and soon enough everyone ran in haphazard directions to cover for safety.“Othniel!? Othniell!?” Meredith yelled out as she tried to take cover also.She crouched behind a shelf and was muttering silent prayers for the sake of her life and her safety. It wasn’t quite long before she felt a hand on her left shoulder and she jumped in fright but calmed her nerves after she saw it was the driver she had been looking for.“What’s going on? How do we get out of here???” she asked as her lips and arms were trembling.Othniel placed a finger on his lips and whispered a littleshhh“follow me”At first, she wondered where he thought he was headed but she wasn’t given enough time to wonder as he pulled her to her feet and ran into one of the dressing rooms.The moment they were in, he jammed the door shut behind them and began searching the entire

This was Santiago’s second day of following them and he feels now is the best time to bring in their daughter back to her parents but he wanted to stay a bit longer to know when they would be leaving the shop.The noon sunlight was a bit harsh to his skin and it prickled at his hair follicles but he bore it in good fate because inside the café was always cool so the discomfort was only temporary.Yesterday he wasn’t sure if it was disguise or adjustment to suit the plan but he never understood why Hunter served at the restaurant. It confused him.Hunter might not recognize who he was, after all he was recruited a year or two after Hunter had left… he wasn’t so sure.But he definitely knew who Hunter was, there wasn’t a person on the team who didn’t.One of Soldo’s favorite recruits that backstabbed him.

Mrs. Hao watched as anger rolled off his shoulders and she couldn’t help but laugh a little bit at his reactions.“You’re supposed to be in the back with the rest of the team.” She says to him with a smile on her lips as he jerks his head in her direction.“Yeah… I decided to give them some space to work on it.”There was a team of trackers that Mrs. Hao had brought in during the wee hours of the morning to help out with Hunter’s request.And so far, he had seen, they were amazing.“Or you decided to watch your girlfriend, which?” she said again with her smile growing wider.Hunter couldn’t help the grunt that escaped his lips when she made that statement.“She’s not my girlfriend.” He retorted and pretended to be wiping the table while stealing glances at Iris and her new friend.“I suspected; you guys have barely said a word to each oth

He folded the blankets with his sleepy eyes and an unusual ache in his back.The ache didn’t surprise him, what else was he to expect from sleeping on a solid not-so comfortable couch all night.Iris took the room and he decided to sleep in the living room. It was either that or the floor of the room anyways so he really didn’t have much of a choice.He had a meeting with Mrs. Hao this morning. What he needed was a shower and a little breakfast which he presumed he can get at the café also.He arched his back a bit to know if he could get a crack that might release the ache but it was to no avail, so he just went ahead with his daily schedule.The door to the room was closed and he tried knocking to know if she was already up but not properly dressed or if she was sleeping.After the third knock, he heard her say‘its open’from the inside. Only then did he open the door.As he guessed
Ends Is that?
Hunter knew he had struck a nerve from her reaction when he stated his request all he wanted was her response.And assistance.“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she whispered with a tight smile, most likely trying not to make it obvious to any onlookers that she was in an uncomfortable conversation.“I was sent by Mr. Reid; I need your help.” He whispered back to her.She stared at him for a few seconds with narrow eyes and tight lips as she was trying to decipher if she should believe him or not.“Who are you?” she asked.Hunter remembered when Mr. Reid had informed him that this question was almost inevitable from her, and each party she worked with had a code answer to the question.“I am blue.”She eyes moved frantically around the café to be sure no one was observing nor approaching.“Ahh, Mr. Huong. The regular?”The greeti
