Abby's pov
I fretted , looking frantically in search of the chocolate colored man who I have bumped into earlier. I believe strongly that the code wallet will either be with him or somewhere around the spot where i fell.
" Stop joking around and tell me where my code wallet is " I heard the man's cold voice behind me. I turned slowly to see his stern eyes glaring at me.
Okay i take back the word that this man right here won't hurt me in public, because right now he seem to be willing to cause a scene.
" I'm sorry, i swear to you i had the code wallet when you called but i ... Must ... I can't .. " I started to stammer but he cut me off immediately by gripping my wrist painfully. He pull me out of the airport and outside to the rain.
" Now search for it, did you have any idea how much is on that code wallet? " He asked dangerously aloud due to the clapping of the loud thunders.
I began to shiver in cold as i tried to peer down looking for the code wallet to no avail. The white guy must have realized there is no way the code wallet will be around anywhere because he pull me into his car and locked the door.
My heart jump instantly into my mouth and i began to pray to my lord to save me from the scarred face but handsome man who seem to be in his early thirties.
He didn't drive, i thank my lord for that because there is still a chance to escape ... Right? I have seen Angelina Jolie, a famous actress does that many times without numbers, I mean jumping out of a running car.
If i put the right pressure and adrenaline i might even be better than her.
My escape thought was interrupted by the man beside me who has dialed a number and was speaking to the person on the other end.
" What is your name? " I heard him asked me harshly.
Shivering in fear ,i quickly answered him.
" Abby Sherman " i responded without looking at him.
He repeated the name to the person he was speaking to.
" Find out everything about her, to the day she was born to date. I want to know every of her family members, friends and jobs. Give me the details of her love life as well. " He ordered the person and hang up breathing roughly.
I look around the car slowly for weapons in case things goes bad and ugly. My eyes only fell on his identity card.
His name read Felton Arlene and he is twenty seven years old which means i was wrong about thinking he was in his early thirties.
I dare myself to face him and immediately i did, i regretted it at once. He was staring at me as well and so when i turn to him, it was his glare that greeted me WELCOME.
I quickly coiled back into my seat and stay silent not even sure of what we are waiting for.
His cellphone rang out , interupting the tensed atmosphere and I'm grateful that his attention was finally distracted away from me.
He uh and oh and then finally hang up sighing dejectedly.
" You are from Africa? " He asked pinning me with his gaze and i barely nodded in response. " Look at me before i strangle your tiny neck " he bellows to me and i quickly obeyed him.
I'm very sure he would carried out his threats if I am not cooperative. I stare into his eyes and i noticed they were green. His lips plump and of pink colours or probably the comestic he put on makes it that way.
" You are on holiday here in Louisiana for two months? Had a boss name Thompson and a friend Casey... Right? " He asked stunning me Totally.
" How do you know about this information so fast? " I managed to asked him dumbfounded but he glare at me in answer clenching his teeth.
" You really aren't in any position to question me... You got that? " He yell loudly into my brain and i shut my eyes against the noise " now, if you really love yourself. Find me my code wallet or Better still secure multiples job to pay back the money... Alright? In two months time " He finished gently while giving me a glare.
I look away from him with many thoughts going through my mind. After a while when i noticed he was waiting for me to respond i finally nodded.
I know the code wallet will be very hard to find. Obviously it isn't at the entrance of the airport nor is it anywhere in the duffel bag. I concluded that the man who nearly hit me with his car must have it.
But looking for a man whom I do not even have the chance to see his face was a very impossible mission.
But to calm down the angry Felton i nodded feebly.
" I will find you your code wallet " i told him and immediately he start the car. Now i am nervous, i stare around in fear. " Where are you taking me? I told you i will give you back the code wallet. Let me out " i yell loudly and he halted suddenly to face me.
" Will you keep your mouth shut, get off and do not try to be smart because i will be watching you until you either give me my code wallet or my money " He said and he unlocked the car. That was when i look around to see that we have arrived at my apartment.
I gulped down nervously wishing i would be waked up by my mother telling me it's time for breakfast, telling me all about the vacation is just a dream and nothing more.
But no, it isn't a dream because when Felton grabbed me by the arm, stopping me from getting out of the car i felt the contact.
" Do not try to play smart ... You hear me ? " He shouted and without waiting for my response he released me roughly and i walk into the house to my rented room where i saw down on the fluffy rug dripping wet.
Today has begun with excitement and then ended in sadness. I thought i will finally have my vacation in paradise not know it will turn out to be hell.
I walk to the window and peep down to see Felton driving away.
The idea struck me immediately and I quickly picked my cellphone which Mr Thompson has provided for me to use as soon i arrive.
I dialed his number but he isn't picking up. I frown deeply and then the thought struck me hard that the world clock isn't the same.
Mr Thompson must be in his usual board room having a meeting. I saw down dejectedly thinking of a way out, quick.
I jump up to my feet all of a sudden and quickly pack my bags, i took the necessary documents and dash out of the house immediately.
I peeped from behind the door at first and since there is no one in sight i walk out to the wet street and flag down a taxi.
" The airport please " i said and the taxi driver obeyed quickly.
I am beginning to feel the changes in the wind , thinking that finally i am free from Felton.
I would return back to my country where he would never see me again. Although i am very sorry for his lost code wallet. I have heard code was use to save up money and it is the safest way from hackers and fraudster.
I paid the taxi driver and alighted from the car.
" Thanks " i murmured to him and walk into the airport but i wasn't lucky enough to walk further before i saw Felton leaning against wall beside the entrance.
My heart jump once again in fear and i retrace my step and ran back to the street in search of a taxi.
I never know he will be waiting for me at the airport.
Has he read my thoughts? Or wait a second did he had a camera in my room? No way! That is perverted.
He must have pretended to leave the time he drive away from my apartment.
Instantly i saw a car parked in front of me. The mirror was wind down and i saw Felton at the driver's seat at a woman in the passenger seat.
" Get in right this minute " He said smirking as if telling me he is running out of patient.
I froze turning back to where i saw him earlier at the entrance and then to the car.
He must be swifty , since he move so quick. Pardon me, swifty was my favorite character in a movie. The beautiful girl has the ability to move faster than anyone else.
Yeah, okay so here is me. Abby Sherman and how i found myself in a huge debt and tangled with a notorious criminals, Felton Arlene and his suppose girlfriend cheffy Richard.
The journey just begin, I said to myself as i entered the car and sat at the backseat and i watch as Felton drive away along the wet street.
I woke up to see the sun shining very brightly through the slit of my curtains. I frown when i saw the mess on the floor, the clothes around and the bags. The memories came back slowly and i sighed deeply before sitting up.The day before has been a hell with Felton Arlene on my tail. He had drop me off with a warning that i shouldn't tried to be smart. I know he is running out of patient of course because of his stern expression and the way his lips curved into a disdain smirk.I picked my cellphone to check my messages and just as i have expected i have a message from my mum, one from my boss Mr Thompson and one from Casey and a lot more from my well-wishers.I however was glad that Mr Thompson didn't pick the call last night, i would have regretted telling him i have landed in trouble just only an hour as soon as i arrived. Not my choice though but i doubt if he will ever understand. My mum as usual asked if i am well and if the weather here sooth me, i replied her saying I'm
Abby's pov I was confused and startled. The duffel bag i was staring at right on the bed in my rented room in this strange country isn't mine. I unzipped it slowly , taking a peep to be sure if i am safe. Not my fault, casey has told me back home that the citizens in Louisiana are just as dangerous as they were great. Leave it to Casey to confuse me with her speech sometimes. Okay here i am in the strange country of Louisiana and i just arrived about an hour ago from Africa, My boss Mr Thompson has praised me the week before and finally he had said. " Abby you deserve two months holiday. I will prepare the documents for your flights at once, you will spend them in Louisiana and I'm sure you will enjoy your stay " i have been more than excited when i heard the words from my boss. Never have i dream of been out of the country, less the Continent. Casey my best friend and also my colleague at work was very excited for me as well. " This is very great. we can't say, You might fin
Remon James called out to Abby as she ran into the airport but she didn't reply so he bent down to pick up the code wallet which was on the floor. " This must possessed a lot of dollars " He said aloud to himself as he stare at the flash drive - like wallet in his palm. He would love to be home, in his bed with Maya his four years old daughter but he found himself dashing into the airport in search of the black, nervous Lady.

Right after the divorce from his wife Ashley, Remon was granted full custody of Maya but not without a clause that Ashley would spend all weekends with her. He alighted as he reached Mr Foley's home and gave the door a knock, it took a while before the elderly woman open the door smiling at the wet Remon.
