1116 Words
"Sir, which hotel should we check you into?" a cool and vibrant voice resounded, pulling Carlos' attention away from the high speed moving landscape outside the car window. Taking a glance at his Ralzrez watch, he answered, "There's no need for that Alfred, just take me to my child's house." after which he glanced up at the driver's mirror where his gaze locked with a pair of brown eyes. "Rodger that sir." the journey after that was a quiet one. No one said a word more. Alfred focused on the road, while Carlos got lost in the familiar environment outside. Twenty minutes later, the car finally stopped. "Sir, we...." Alfred paused when he saw that Carlos must have fallen a sleep. "Si...." before he could call again, Carlos suddenly interjected from the backseat, with his eyes still closed and his calm composure maintained, he spoke in a whisper that contained a sense of inner peace and rage at the same time, "I'm not asleep Alfred." Having said that, he finally opened his eyes and stepped out of the car in one swift move. Alfred who had also stepped out of the car after him chuckled with a vibrant smile that supported his voice, "I keep forgetting you like doing that." Shaking his head he walked to the back of the car and opened the boot before taking out two medium sized briefcases. "Sir, I'll escort you inside." he said but he was soon stopped by Carlos. "There's no need for that Alfred...." he reached out his hand and placed it on Alfred's shoulder, "I can take it from here, and you need me sir. To you, I'm just Carlos, understand." His words were warm and harmless but had a hint of authority in them. Alfred could only nod after a moment of hesitation. "Take care sir, if they cause any trouble, I'm more than willing to teach them a lesson." having said that, he placed down the suitcases and closed the car trunk. "And oooo..... By the way,...." he suddenly broke the silence with enthusiasm as if he had remembered something very important. Inside the Pretoria residence, a pair of dark and experienced eyes looked at the unexpected visitors at the gate through the window on the the first floor. "Denzel, doesn't that man outside look familiar to you." the owner of the eyes asked. He had grey hair with a few strands of black and his skin had a number of wrinkles. He wore a grey suit that looked expensive and held a golden eagle head walking stick. From the sound of his husky voice, it was evident that he was angry and was probably involved in matter that displeased him just now. But non the less, he set these matters aside and called out to his eldest son Denzel whom he had just scolded. Denzel, a squared jaw, middle aged man stepped forward warily. Careful not anger his dad again, he looked out the window from a distance where he was safe from his dad. "Dad, which one? They both look familiar to me." "They kinda look like Carlos, but which one?" he blurted again in a spree of getting into good books with his dad again. He was worried he had probably said something wrong but who could blame him. The two men outside looked quite identical, and he knew his father saw this too. They both had slim and abit toned bodies and were almost the same height. They stood in the same posture and had the same hair style and color, black. As for their facial structure, it was hard to tell from their point of view and distance. After a moment of watching them, one of them finally drive away in the porch car they arrived in. The old man's face had long since turned soar when Denzel mentioned that unclean name. He had almost forgotten about him until now. "That's what I thought but we can't be sure. Go and receive him at the main door and make sure of his identity, don't offend him until we're sure of who he really is. I sure hope he isn't that son of a bastard. " After Alfred left, Carlos finally turned around and looked at the huge mansion in front of him. The gate had an intricate pattern and the family's initials were skillfully embedded in the middle. Beyond the gate, stood a three story mansion, just like he remembered. He picked up his suitcases and approached the gate. The bodyguards were about to stop him but they suddenly stopped after an order rang in their ears. After that, they opened the gate and let them in. Carlos simply shrugged his shoulders and made his way to the main door where Denzel, his father in law was waiting for him with a curious gaze. "Hm... As expected of the Garcia's. Won't do anything risky until you're sure you hold greater power." Carlos muttered inwardly with a mocking smile. If Denzel could see it, he would suddenly fall into a rage but too bad Carlos wore a face mask and a pair of sunglasses which irritated him to his spine. "Good evening, may I know your identity and the reason for this visit." Denzel welcomed, trying to sound as polite as possible. "May I come in first, Mr Garcia?" Carlos asked in a voice that carried no emotion, making him sound authoritative. Quickly realizing his mistake, Denzel stepped aside awkwardly l, "Uh where are my manners, please come inside." After Carlos entered, he blinked twice to snap out of the daze was just in. It was clear the man before him was younger than him, but why did have to obey him like that. It was like he was in some kind of spell. Upon the entry of Carlos, everyone in the large hall they called a sitting room focused their attention on the visitor, eagerly awaiting for him to take off his glasses and mask. Carlos dropped the suit cases and relaxed his posture abit. In a slow and dramatic move, he took off his disguise and a series of gasps resonated in the spacious hall. Denzel who stood behind Carlos obviously wanted in on the fun so he circled him and faced him but what he saw wasn't what he had expected. His stomach churned in disgust and anger when he saw the smiling face that looked back at him. "Hello family, I'm back." his sarcastic remark made his British accent clear. Though it was a sweet voice and accent, the person it came out from wasn't that pleasant to look at. Especially after the incident 5 years ago.
