''This is way too dangerous'', Mrs Jenkins whispered,''We should let him sleep it off.Get a stand in for tonight. You know we need to keep him safe''.
''Mom, you know we just can't do that!!!'', Alex warned.
Mrs Jenkins knew he was right. How on earth would they get a look alike in just a few hours and brief them on the plot. After much contemplating she finally sighed. Her son was right.
At 7h30p, with a heavy heart she woke him up. John looked at the bedside clock and got out of bed. Taking a shower and changing into a tracksuit and takkies her went down to the kitchen.
Mrs Jebkins had made dinner. He was a bit hungry, his stomach growled in confirmation. He sat down at the table while Mrs Jenkins dished out a large helping of roash chicken and vegetables.
''John'', Mrs Jenkins started in barely a whisper,''You don't have to do this.You know they don't have Adrianna!''.
''I know I don't have to do this,Mom'',The words rolled off his
10h50pm.The three men sat in the suv in the deserted parking lot. The bar was now closed and the trees whistled in the wind in the emoty park nearby. How od for a scerene park to be located next to a roudy bar.By day it was parents heaven,kids would play on the swings,the junglejims and the sand pits but at night it was the drunkards paradise.In the distance they saw headlights approaching at high speed. Eventually a black mini van haulted to a stop few feet away from their suv.They squinted to see through the bright lights but it was almost blinding.Two figures in black shirts and black jumpsuits and masks stepped out of the driver and passanger side.Walking to the front of the van they summoned them to come forward. They looked like they were the real deal robbers and kidnappers from the movies.John and Peter stepped out of the suv,leaving Patrick in the back seat ,out of view.''You didn't alert the cops? very wise move!!!', The female
A wailing Sierra snuggled onto Jefferson.''Please have mercy on us, we didn't mean to'', Jefferson said in regret. He deeply regretted ever listening to his wife. No matter how good her acting was, they were still caught.''Have mercy?, My daughter is missing and you took advantage of the situation. Trying to swindle millions from your own family!!! How dare you aske for mercy? '', Peter roared in anger.Martha sat in the back of the suv , but she could hear the commotion. Her heart warmed at the very thought of Peter acknowledging his daughter. Patrick also felt the same. Her fear had disappeared as she realised she was no safe.''The mercy we are showing you, is that you are unharmed'', John said coldly.The police had now approached the scene. As they looked at the tied up Sierra and Jefferson, they were confused. These were Walters , why would they be tied up like dogs?John motioned them to the suv while asking the other two offi
The next morning John woke up,had a brief shower and got dressed in a jeans a casual t-shirt.''Not going to work,I see'', Alex questioned.''Yeah, I want to iron out last nights events!!'' John said in a deep thought.''You didn't by any chance have a hand in last nights capture?''.Alex smirked.''You little devil'', John laughed.''Hey, it wasn't just me.Mom was worried things might go south,so she sent a team to help you. I knew you just won't leave t be!!!'', Alex chirped proudly. His mother was indeed a helicopter mom, hovering even when you don't really want her to. It had its perks.John smiled, warmth in his heart rising. He was truelly grateful.Alex got dressed and both men left to get breakfast.John met Mrs Jenkins in the kitchen.Without another word he grabbed her in a bear hug as he whispered thank you in her ear.A shocked Mrs Jenkins hugged him back,''You are most welcome son''.Mrs Jenkins layed t
Peter stepped out, returning with a handcuffed Sierra who was lead by the officer. The officer now handcuffed her to the table pushing down her shoulders, forcing her to sit. Her arrogance was still quite visible.''We have given you a time out to think about your actions, hopefully you now decide to tell the truth!!'', Patrick said calmly.''Truth? I did tell you the truth, It was never us, never me,it was all Martha!!!'', Sierra sneered.Peter pulled out a tape recorder and placed it on the table. He pressed play and a few seconds later, Jeffersons confession began.''Stop'', Sierra screamed,''This is all lies''.Sierra now tugged on the hand cuffs like a savage beast.''Jefferson, control your wife!!!'', Patrick shouted.''Control me. That is a buch of lies!!!'', She screamed disdained.After a few minutes she calmed down realising there was no winning. She broke out in a son.''Peter, why do you act as if you care? Y
The three men entered the restuarant. With Patrick Walters prestige status they were summoned to a private booth. The restuarant was surprisingly very busy for a Tuesday morning. But it was a five star place, Their food was of the finest quality with the largest menu in the whole of New York.They sat at the table,and picked up the menu. John had deliberately faced Patrick in the direction of his newest two victims of revenge. He gave Patrick and Peter first class seats to the betrayal show that was about to unfold.taking out his phone under the table, he face the camera towards the rather loving couple and clicked a picture sending it to Alex.Alex knew what to do, he didn't need to explain.Patrick and Peter did not even notice the couple as yet but he was sure during their meal , they would. It was only a matter of time before the show started.John wasn't really hungry after the large breakfast he had this morning. Mrs Jenkins fed him well.
The three men walked into the station and into the interrogation room. The light of hope in Patrick's eyes dimmed. The couple were still bickering. The stopped when they saw the three men at the corner of the room. Jefferson looked like a rat compared to his wife.He cowered in front of her. Patrick felt sorry for him. It was indeed his fault for raising them to make their every decision rebvolve around business. Even their own private lives they have sacrificed unknowingly. He really regretted his decisions he had made with them, for them and the ones he supported them in, especially their wives. He wished that they had fallen in love like Peter, but even then Peter had revolved his head around having a son to be a heir. He had treated the woman as if they were mere objects and therefore he had driven his own son to hate his daughter. But it was never too late. Wht little time he had, he would atone for his sins.Patrick cleared his throat,''Have you two come to a decision?''
Patrick smiled as the most marvelous idea flooded his brain. He knew that he had bestowed the duty of happiness,togetherness and peace of his family to his only grandson-in-law. For a young man,John had a good head on his shoulders. A man with genuine wit, a good heart and a gentleman. He may have gotten into the family by some disgusting means, which he had thought so until Sierra said something that was a cause to prick his suspicion. Patrick knew they had less than an hour before he needed to get back to address Andrews and Lady Francesca's problems. His family was getting more sinister by the day!.''Shall we get back? I have to get back to the mansion soon.There are other maters to attend!'', Patrick said calmly.John looked at Patricks face, he was amused at how the old man could be so calm. Had he made a decision to release his son and his unruly wife? Had he decided to release only his son?Is he going to press charges? Is he going to keep them there ano
After a lengthy discussion with the head of the police, John returned to the room,''Peter,Mr Walters, shall we leave now?''.Both men looked at him bewildered but woke up with no question. They bid Jefferson and Sierra good bye and left with John.''You pressed charges,John?'', Patrick asked with concern. His wrinkled face even more wrinkly as his eyebrows were tightly knitted.''Well you see Mr Walters, I have done what is best for the family. We don't really know how long it will take for them to realise their mistakes and atone for it.But when that day comes, they will be grateful. And as per my predictions, that day will come very soon, Trust me!!!'', John said confidently.Peter and Patrick both nodded in agreement. As they left to the mansion, they knew Andrew will be arriving shortly.They both wanted to make themselves scarce.''Say, Peter, will you be passing Smiths Corporations? I really need to get to work. I have some filing that needs a
