Leonard's POV
Waking up to the sound of music, I lay still on the bed but my eyes were open, taking my environment into view I realize I was no longer at the hospital, am in what looks like a room
Hello?
Is anybody there?
No answer,
I got up from the bed sitting upright, I feel so relaxed, am feeling more sober than I have been since the last time I remember
Where am I?
Hello??
I called out again and a lady walked in
When she got in, she saw me and screamed
Oh! My God Becky he's awake
Wait! Becky??
Yes, I remember that name, the nurse that borrowed me her phone and got into trouble
She rushed in after she was called
Oh! My God Mr Williams, you are finally awake, am glad you're OK, I was getting scared
Where am I Becky?
and why am i wearing a pair of Jean and Tshirt?
If my memory serves me right, I wasn't wearing this
Why am I not in the hospital?
How long have I been here??
throwing in more questions
She looked at me quizzically,
Well! Mr Williams a lot has happened and you are in my house
Well that doesn't sound like the answer am waiting to hear so start talking
First off, the police officer that helped me bring you home from the station helped me changed your outfit when you were still unconscious, rest assured,I didn't do or see anything she replied
I just smiled and motioned for her to keep talking
*************************************
Becky's POV
After explaining the whole story to him, he just sat there facing the window, it's visible he is in deep thoughts
Can I please get you something to eat Mr Williams?
You have been unconscious for 2days, they must have injected your system with overdose coupled with the fact that you were already weak, it knocked you out more than it should
He raised his head and looked directly at me for the first time after spilling the whole information
Call me Leonard, you can get me anything you have, I don't have any allergies
And please I'll need a phone, I need to make a call
After handing him my phone, he made his call and came back after thirty minutes or more
Thank you so much for risking your life and your job to save me Becky
You have a good heart, I really do not know how to pay you back, but am grateful to you
But for now you are in danger, it's my turn to protect you, my brother saw your face, he must know you were the one that took me from the hospital
I need to get you somewhere safe, this is not your fight and I don't want you getting hurt in the cross fire
My brother will stop at nothing till he eliminates anything standing between him and his mission, and right now you are an added threat to his list, I need you to leave this place for a while
What?? I cannot just leave New York, because I saved you, and you think your brother will be after me
this is my home
I cannot run away from it
Am not sure I will be able adapt in another city, I Will report to the police
Do you know who Bash Williams is?
The police will not save you from him
He will finish hurting you even before you get a chance to report to the police
Didn't you tell me how you saw those men knock our an officer??
You really think they are not capable of doing more??
IAm not asking you to run away from your home, and besides, I just don't want you out of the state, you are leaving the country
All am asking is that you stay low In another environment for a while, you will return when everything is settled
I thought for a while and agreed, I haven't been to another country ALL my life, I guess this is a huge opportunity
Alright, I'll move, but I don't have any money to take care of the expenses
I wasn't asking you to take care of any expenses, I'll get everything covered, just pack a couple items you will be needing and I don't want you to disclose this to anyone for your own safety OK??
I nodded in understanding,
He made a couple of calls again, and next thing I heard was, you're leaving tomorrow 12noon
What? Doesn't that take a longer process??
How did you do it??
Well, I know a friend who knows a friend he said smirking
Pack your bags, you're leaving for Norway.
Bash's POV
Since I did not succeed in executing my plans as arranged, with Leonard out of my reach he will try to communicate with our parents for I know how smart he is, he definitely will know am behind all this
Bringing out my phone I dialed my mum first, if I can convince her, she will help me convince dad, all I have to do is sabotage his image
