My mother would only call me during work hours only if it was an emergency.She respected protocol. When I arrived,I saw a second car parked in the yard. I didn't even have to knock at the door as it was wide open. It was as if calling out for me to enter.
"Finally, you're here!" Patricia shouted in excitement. She came towards me,then grabbed me by the hand, pulling me to her. "Come I want you to meet someone." She said. I kept my silence and wondered what it was I had to see. There she was, with bangles on her hand and large round ratings on her ears,it was Sam's mother,Lynette. Her eyes widened when I entered the dining room. I exchanged greetings with Lynette. She offered me a long hug and I could smell her sweet rose perfume. "I am sure you're curious about why we are all here. The wedding is happening in two months and we still don't have a caterer!" Patricia stated. I couldn't feel my cheeks for that moment, I was embarrassed,how could I have fWatching silent voices on my laptop,helped remind me that life doesnt end now,but instead continues on. I sometimes wondered what I would feel once I was dead,would I cry? Feel sad? Feel angry? Or feel hurt?There are times where I also wish I could change things that happened, make wiser decisions,and if there was a way to turn back time or rather be in a different timeframe then return back to the present I would do so.Limitless,how I wish I could wander freely,having no regrets, doing wise decisions all the time. I would be right all the time. Hmmm.. but such things only exist in my thoughts well,some of them do."I can't believe it,my baby is getting married!" My mother shouted. I had finished eating my breakfast in peace, I didn't expect to see my mother so early in the morning."Morning to you too" I said,then rushed to the door hoping to escape my mother's long repeated conversations."Oh Lee when will I see
"Finally!"I said in relief, I could access the hidden data I needed."Have you found anything yet?" Mika asked."Yes it's a lot to take in but guess what.i got it!" I shouted in excitement."What is it?"Katleho asked,leaning over my shoulder staring closely at the screen."Project Xena!" I said looking at the folder then I clicked enter to see more details. There was only an image of a hexagonal shaped metal with a gold cover on it.There was no other information, no words only the object ""That's project Xena? I wonder what it does!" Said Katleho."I wonder the same thing.!"But more than that I wondered why Mr Phenyo looked anxious when he heard the term Xena corporation. He seemed to know a lot. And why did Ben seem reluctant to talk about it,what was he hiding,I wondered.Meanwhile Mr Phenyo is in his apartment with Ben."You need to let go of the past,it brings nothing but pain!" Said Ben
My wedding dress was finished,my caterer decided, I was now left with finding a good venue for my wedding as well as a bridesmaid and lastly the honey moon destination,not forgetting the cake. I was in panic after realising that I hadn't completed a lot of thing's."Are you serious?" I cried out."What?" Sam asked."Look at the list!" I cried."Wedding,check. Music,check. Reception venue, check. Honeymoon, no check?""You see! Mom why didn't you tell me about this?""I am not the one getting married,you should also check if your things are organised or not!" Patricia replied."I am dead,I am completely dead!" I cried."You are not dead,you have me!" Said Sam, putting his right hand on my hand, he tried his best to be supportive."Son in law can you please excuse me,I have to go out shopping,I have to get new shoes. Mama needs to spoil herself!" My mother said waving at both
Meanwhile... My mother was at Mr Phenyo's apartment. He had driven her there incase she lost direction's."So this is your house,it's huge and manly!" Said Patricia.Mr Phenyo chuckled."I don't know about huge.Does size really matter?" Mr Phenyo joked.Patricia laughed."You have a sense of humor. Interesting."Mr Phenyo felt awkward,was Patricia flirting. Yes she indeed was flirting."I called you here for an important reason. " Said Mr Phenyo."My daughter's wedding. I do remember that.""I used to be very close to Chris,that's the only reason I am doing this!""You used to be friends?""Not exactly,but we worked together.in many project's,long before I met your daughter."Patricia was slightly irritable. The mention of my father's name, did not really sit well with her. She despised my father. She hadn't gotten over a lot of what he had done.
Mika called me early in the morning. I hadn’t expected that from him.I knew how much he loved his personal time undisturbed. “so early? Did someone die?” I teased.Mika chuckled.“you need to come to the safe house, Katleho and I have found something.”With that said, I put the phone down, took a quick shower, an apple or two for breakfast and I left. My mother didn’t even see me leave.At the safe house, Katleho was not in her usual blue striped pyjamas,I felt relieved inside. She only held a cup of coffee in one hand and a paper in the other. Reading the paper intensely.She didn’t even notice me entering the room, nor was she startled when she heard the door close. After a few minutes trying to put her gaze away from the paper, She finally looked up at me, with a smile on her face. “Lebo finally you came!” said Katleho with a relieved sigh in her voice.&
At the safehouse..“where is our special guest?” I asked“He’s in the garden.” said Katleho“but how do you know, he could be in the basement searching for a way to escape? Besides you have been at work for two hours waiting for Ben” said MikaKatleho chuckled.“what are you laughing at?” Mika asked“The man is in the garden as I said. He’s always there.”Andries entered the house from the back door.He had an apron wrapped around his body, it didn’t have any stain on it.The scene reminded me of my father,he always made sure to never stain his clothing.“i thought I heard voices. Good morning my children.” said Andries, removing his gloves carefully from his hands.“Morning Mr Meyers” we all greeted.“do you need me now or should I return to the garden?”
I have always enjoyed my mother’s cooking, the pastries she made, the curries, but what I couldn’t eat from all of those foods were fish. I love food but fish left horrible effects on my skin,it was bad for me. My entire face would swell up from eating even the tiniest bits of fish. My wedding date was close by, the caters still didn’t know what they were going to prepare, My mother seemed occupied, she spent her days out of the house and returned home late. We hardly spoke and this worried me.“Have you found the document yet?”asked Mr Phenyo. He and my mother were meeting in his apartment. He was sober,but the booze wouldn’t leave his mouth.“You still haven’t told me what you want with the document.” Patricia replied.“Does it even matter? Forget it!” Mr Phenyo shouted“Why is the file so important to you?”“It will help me get my
“Sir sir there are two people who say they want to speak with you.” said the security guard,speaking on his walkie-talkie.“Let them in.” said a respond.Mika and Katleho entered the FWCUSA research facility, without punching anyone on the face,which was a start.“I have been expecting you. Come heave a sit.” said Oliver. Wearing white a t-shirt that had the words, “preserve marine life” written in a large red font.“Thanks for letting us in.” Said Mika.“Of course, You said you could help me with the case?”“yes we can. We are investigators.We care a lot about the environment.” said Katleho.Oliver put on a smile, but Mika could sense that it was fake.“exactly when did you notice that the fish were dying?” Asked Mika.“two days ago, I was doing my usual routine work, feeding the seal
Meanwhile.. back at the GOH site. Ben and the agents in the control room were waiting anxiously for results from agent S."Sir we came as soon as we could." Said Mika."Byron knows we've been watching him. I don't know how, but he knows." Said Ben."It doesn't make sense. We made sure not to make a mess. How could he know?" Asked Katleho."But Agent S has promised to help us find him.""Agent S?""He finds people. He is good at making bombs as well. He has been working here for more than ten years." Said Ben."That means he can also find Lebo." Said Mika."He deals with GOH cases only.Lebo is more personal. I have people searching for her already." Ben stated firmly."Lebo is an agent here. She is also as important as any other agent here and should be treated as a GOH case!" Mika pressed."Mika calm down." Katleho said in a low voice."No! I refuse to keep calm about this. W
Meanwhile back at Byron’s private Lab. Mr Phenyo and i were still locked in the compartment. We hadn’t eaten all day, Byron was still upset as we had murdered his beloved assistant Lisa.One of the guards entered with only a plate of food.“The boss said you can choose to share if you want.” he said. Handing me the plate of food, he then left.Mr Phenyo did not say anything, he sat there in silence.“would you like a piece?” I asked.“a piece of Byron yes.”I chuckled. Even as I was starving, my appetite for the food had completely disappeared.“I wont eat anything, Byron is not getting any more of my blood.”“Then that would be the stupidiest move you could do. Eat, get your strength, get out and run.” said Mr Phenyo.“Why do you suddenly care about me? Or is it the guilt you are feeling after murdering my m
Agents of the Guardians Of The Hex were in were searching tirelessly for one of their own who was missing, me. Yet they didn’t know where I was.“Sir we need to go to this Byron, We already have robo bugs following him why cant we go there and raid his place?” asked Mika who was already grown impatient of following orders.“Mika, if Lebohang was there at his warehouse or secret lab, we would know that by now. The man is experimenting on rats doing God knows what, he even chats to them you can see that he’s insane and we still have not seen anything that could prove that he is somehow involved in Lebohang’s disappearance.” said Ben.“Fine, youre right”“A new case has come up, let’s go to my office. It will help keep you busy. Maybe even deal with your anger issues.”Ben handed both Mika and Katleho the case file so that they could be able to work right
Meanwhile..Mr Phenyo was in my fathers house, searching.“Where is that file?” He said. There was a noise outside the house, he peaked through the window and saw a car parked outside and Patricia walking towards the house. Mr Phenyo rushed to hide in Chris’ old bedroom which had now been used by Patricia.“What the hell does she want?Shouldnt she be at the wedding? She will have to tell me where the file is. No thats a bad idea, Miss Mokoena will hate me.. I’ll wait for her to leave then continue searching for the file, then I will leave.”said Mr PhenyoPatricia opened the bedroom door widely, Mr Phenyo was hiding under the bed.“Argh! Where is that?Ooh! There it is.” Said Patricia, grabbing the note from the bed, then suddenly the note slipped from her hand and fell down whilst she was trying to put it inside her purse.She bended all the way down to grab it, but felt something, as if t
Byron hadn’t called anyone on the phone. But his mental state had not changed he was still insane. He hadnt abducted anyone yet, but he still did his experiments.“All of my rats have gone missing, as if they knew I was after them as if they were saved by an angel.” Byron said, holding a rat with his two hands tightly preventing it from breathing. Byron then looked up at the ceiling, Agent lunga controlled the robo bugs to try and hide them.“you whoever you are who is listening, I urge you to stop what you are doing and join me instead.” Said Byron. He hadn’t noticed that the robo bugs were in the room, but he did speak on empty space, somehow he knew or assumed that there were indeed people looking at him without his knowledge.“Be very discreet from now, we are dealing with a very intellegent man, we need to stay alert all the time. We cant make any mistakes.” warned Ben.Byron took a jug filled
With the break Ben had given us, I was now able to keep my focus on the wedding.“I missed you.” I said, wrapping my feet around Sam while staring into his big blue eyes. .“I missed you too.” he said, smiling. “Any plans for today?”“no not yet I guess, unless Ben calls me to the GOH site.What about you, what are you doing after work?”“Today I am not going to work, I was also given a break, I hope its not just for today.”said Sam laughing. “But I am going to have to meet with Mika, he said he doesn’t know which suit to buy.”“I think you should go and help him. I don’t want to see a floral suit on my wedding day.My guest will think I am a mafia woman.”Sam Laughed, I joined in.Meanwhile.. At the Lab.“What are_ what are you doing to me?” asked Mr Booysens.Ben was lookin
A minute later, a man with an apron came in. He had a name tag on printed on the apron, D.L Booysens.Mr Booysens exchanged greetings with Mika and Katleho.He still hadnt noticed that Principal Vilakazi was there in the room with them, as Mika had covered the principal with a long linen sheet, only his feet were revealed.“Mr Vilakazi said to tell you to wait for him.” Mika said.The cook sat on a chair next to Katleho, who was at the time looking very sexy in a white pencil skirt and long high heels, which Mr Booysens found extremely distracting.“Uhm I think I will come back later, I don’t want to burn the pots.” said Mr Booysens. Trying to escape Katleho’s distraction.“I think you should wait a little bit, we can wait together.”said KatlehoMr Booysens smiled. Mika was very annoyed.“Okay lock the door.” Mika instructed. Katleho immediatly lock
I returned to my father’s house, while Mika and Katleho went to the school.I found my mother paging through an old photo album, what she normally did when she wanted to relive old memories.“I am so proud you my child.” said Patricia.“Proud, why?”“Look at this picture, tell me what you see?”Patricia said pointing at one of the pictures in the album.I leaned closer to my mother to get a clear view of the picture. And began to laugh.“I see a two year kid, butt naked carrying a ball and laughing. I was probably playing.”“and I see something else entirely. I see joy, we struggled so much but you were so happy my child. You didn’t even know how much pain I was in at the time, how stressed I was for not being employed, not being able to provide for you.It was so hard back then.” Patricia cried.“But we didn’t stru
Getting married was something I never thought could happen to me, let alone last this long in a relationship with a man. After the rape incident I found it hard to be attracted to any man. I hate them, they disgusted me. Mr Phenyo had a charm to him that made my knees weak, but he also scared me. However with Sam, thing’s were different, he was the ideal match I had long been waiting for. Where was Mr Phenyo anyway? I wondered.Early in the morning, at the GOH site, cafeteria.“one week left and you’ll be Mrs Hansling.” said Sam, the smile on his face was so wide, that you’d swear he was advertising toothpaste.“Do you have a groomsman yet?” I asked“do you have a bridesmaid yet?”I chuckled.We both had a lot of work to do.“Do you think Mika would agree to be my groomsman?”“Mika’s is my friend, so y
