Jenny looked up at the hand that knocked the book off Gina's hand and to her astonishment, it was the guy from that night, the guy with the calm voice. He looked so…… Before she could process the information,Gina had sped out of the museum, in a speed jenny never knew she possess. She ran very fast and the guy went after him almost in the same velocity. Jenny had no choice but to run after them. The documents were still there on the floor. They were running very fast that it was hard to keep up with their pace. The guide in front of the museum was now on the floor groaning in pains. He held on to his left abdomen. Torned between running after the duo or helping the guide, jenny decided to run after them. She ran in the direction she had last seen them. Just close enough for her to see the view, she saw Gina jump in a speed she had not seen before, Gina jumped on the wired fence although this did not stop her. She jumped to the other side. As a result of the little drama, some of the guards of the WILD home had gathered around and one of them made to follow Gina by jumping over the fence but Dan stopped him. Dan turned and saw jenny. He was a little surprised. He said to one of the guards, “take her to the investigation room”. “Okay sir” they said and seized jenny. Jenny was now very shaken. She was still shaken by the whole scenario. She was still trying to process what was happening. Gina, who could have thought. And to think she was so naive to be taken advantage of on such a manner. What a devil Gina was. She did not struggle with the guards afterall she has her side of the story. The investigation was near the training grounds, she could see the peering and curious eyes of the other mafias staring at her like they were demanding an explanation. She got to the investigation room and was shoved into a chair. The door closed immediately and everywhere was quiet. All through that afternoon, no one came to see her. She was alone and tired. She slept off. ************** “I am going out tomorrow, we need to gather some informations around town, we need to know what is being said around” Dan said as he sat on his bed. He looked worried. “Yes boss” the guard said “ You should pack my things tonight, we will be away for two days” Dan said. “Okay sir. The guard said and exited the room. A guard came in. “Good Evening master Dan” he greeted. “Good evening Charles, is there any problem? “Not at all sir, Lord Mich sent me to inquire about the girl from afternoon. The guard said. “Oh, about the girl? Yes she is fine” Dan said. “Lord Mich said he wants the information on the interrogation “. “Alright, tell him, I will get to him very soon “. Dan said and the guard bowed and exited the room. He seems to have forgotten about the girl he left in the interrogation room. He called one of his guards. “keon” “Yes master” “How is the girl in the interrogation room “ he asked. “She is there sir, we got two guards to look after the place “ “I see, you can go” Dan said and keon bowed and left the room. #In the gardens Fred stood along with the other, they were four in number discussing in low tones. “The girl escaped before they could get a hold of her, I heard the other girl doesn't know about it” one of the others said. “So I heard too. That girl is so gullible, how can she trust someone she met in a day, that is foolish” Another said. “I wonder where that girl who escaped is from, who sent her” the third person asked. “ That is exactly what we should be worried about” Fred said cutting in. “To think there is another enemy in the darkness, that means we are not the only one that has eyes on the WILD family” he concluded “That is true. This signify that we must act fast, we are not the only one against them” one of the others said. “This means we have to be more alert and careful, we never know who the next person is….” “We need a new plan “ Fred said and they all nodded. #The next morning Jenny sat on the chair tired. Her butts aches and her body reeks of smell. She hadn't had a bath since last night. She glanced around the room. Dark.quiet. it reminded of her mother's last days. When her mother was dying of tuberculosis and the doctor advised she be put in a small room so as to prevent her from further infections. They couldn't afford the hospital bills and they could only have the kind doctor come home to treat her. She dismissed the thought. It reminded her of the dark days. A tear slip down her cheeks. She missed her mother so badly. Very badly. Who could have thought she could survive without her mother, she never wants to leave the sight of her mother. Good old days. Just then, a guard entered with a tray of food and a jug of water. He places it in front of her. “You should eat your food. Someone is coming to take you for a bath because you smell like you just came out of a soak away “. The guard said and left. Jenny ignored him. Since yesterday, he brought in the food every eight hours. She dug into the food. She was so hungry. True to his word, the guard came back with a female some hours later and she led him to the maid's bathroom. “I am sorry about what happened, I heard you are innocent, I know master Dan will acquit you If he finds out you are truly innocent. He is a good guy” the maid said unasked. *Master Dan* so that was the name of the calm voice. “Oh, thanks for your concern” jenny said glumly. The girl smiled. “I am Julia by the way” she said smiling. Jenny nodded. She had wanted to say “I am jenny” but she stopped herself. Who knows what the next person is up to? She had her bath and returned to the interrogation room. She felt like crying she wanted somewhere she can stretch herself and sleep off. No sooner had she sat down than she hears someone hassling with the guards outside. “You have just twenty minutes” she heard a guards hasty voice. “I just want to talk to her, I won't be long” she recognized the voice at once. Olivia! She wanted to scream. Olivia came in immediately. Jenny flounced on Olivia and hugged her tightly. The hug was long. Therapeutic and warm. She was sobbing. “I am so sorry. I just heard about it this morning. I was so busy yesterday that I forgot about you. I'm so sorry” Olivia said. “I know, it's not your fault, I was stupid. I don't even know how I trusted her like that” Jenny mumbled. “It's fine” Olivia cooed. “ You will soon learn about manipulations and how to read people. You would soon be learned. Have you been reading the book I gave you? Olivia asked. “Yes I have” They kept gisting about random stuffs and soon it was time for Olivia to go. Jenny was sad but she had to go. She was left in the room alone once more. #Dan at his place of assignment It was a long drive and Dan was already exhausted. His destination is Chicago and he was to meet him for a very important meeting. He could have gone by flight but the WILD home's helicopter was indisposed at the moment and he never boards public transport for official duties. The implications are gruesome. It has been hours of sitting in the chaffeur, eating pleasant meals and thinking.He just wants to get his assignment done and head back home to be on his cozy bed. It was a gift from his mother on his twentieth birthday. Speaking about his mother, his mother had left his father since he was fifteen. ‘Momma’, like he usually calls her is a very beautiful woman who had tried to convince her husband to leave the mafia. Despite knowing fully well that Mich, her husband was a mafia, she couldn't resist falling for him. Mich was a cute, handsome and amazing bad boy back then and she couldn't just resist him. Mich had initially decided to leave the mafia immediately he was done serving them but he got the hint that he could be the next Lord of the home, he was elated and discarded his initial thoughts. Mich was orphaned at the age of 7 and his old grandmother was so concerned about his welfare and future. All of her close relatives lived far away from New York and she couldn't get them to come in time Her own late husband was a devoted member of the WILD home and he died a loyal mafia. The then Lord of the WILD home on his visit to her had told her that the WILD home is behind her and she could always ask for help any time she wanted. Pondering on this on her death bed, she had told Mich to dial the WILD home's number and she had since then handed Mich over to them and pleaded that they help raise her grandson. She however told Mich to be of his best behavior and learn fast because his success in the mafia has a ticket to his future. It has been many years now and Lord Mich had proved that all of that had not gone in vain. His grandma would be smiling in her grave now seeing that he had attained the highest position in the WILD home. So, it was so hard for Mich to exit the Mafia, he felt that it was only normal that he serve them till his last breath, even when his wife left him to marry someone else. After a very long and tiring drive, Dan got to his destination. He was already tired but he need to brace up for the meeting tonight. He had come to meet one of his father's most powerful ally; Sir Robert. Sir Robert is a successful business man who had excelled in all areas of the financial world. He owns the A list banks, restaurants, manufacturing homes and other other businesses that generates billions monthly. He is a powerhouse, meeting him is more like a prayer point, man is a legend. Sir Robert is also a product of the WILD home as his late father, the recent mayor of had sent him to the WILD mafia home after confirming how powerful the home is. Lord Mich and sir Robert are exams of the most greatest products of the WILD mafia home. So, sir Robert is more like a godfather to the home sponsoring their activities and giving it all the covers it needs. The mansion is ineffable, beautiful and gigantic, talk of mansions of mansions, although it doesn't look new to Dan, the house is just one of Sir Robert's mansions. The car drove in and three domestic staffs came were already there waiting for them. The car opened and Dan's guards opened the door for him. A young woman in a well tailored suits came out immediately. “MASTER DAN, It is a great pleasure to host you, I am so happy to welcome you” The lady said bowing. “Thank you” Dan replied tiredly. “Of course I know you are tired, that is why we have three staffs ready for you, Mr Robert is out sightseeing and he commands that you settle down and we'll rested for the meeting tonight, The staffs will take you to your room”. “Welcome master Dan “ the three staffs greeted and Dan nodded his head. They got his bags and lead him into the house. # At the SILENT RIFLE mafia home. It was outing day at the SILENT RIFLE home. Every mafia was free to go out to anywhere they liked except the newbie mafias. They could go visiting families, friends or catch up with the world. This often occurs once in a month. Everyone can be seen moving around, going into town, in twos,threes,fours and even in buses. Some people often set the day for picnics. It is not like the SILENT RIFLE home is not social. Far from it, they always engage in social activities sometimes to celebrate their victories and other times, just for the fun of it. Loveth actually was not allowed to join the outing on her own free will. She is always assigned a guard to follow her anywhere she wants to go even when she is in the company of the others. As a result, she often dislikes going out. She likes to rather be curled up in bed. The home is quiet now as everyone is out, they always look forward to going out on the specific day. Loveth loves the quietness. At least she would be free for the day. Lord Ken might think she had gone out and not send for her. Her thoughts were disrupted as there was a rasp knock on the door. She was stunned. Who could it be? Everyone had gone out, she does not have a roommate. Who could it be. For a second, she reasoned that it must be Lord ken's guards. *Have they come to get her again* she just wants to rest. She decided to pretend as though she were sleeping. She hurled the blankets over herself. Then she heard a voice from outside. “come on Loveth, we are here to see you, open the door “ the voice said sounding feminine. Loveth felt different. Maybe it was not he guards after all. Who could it be. She went to the door and opened it. The sight of a male and a female met her eyes. They both look unfamiliar. “Hi loveth” the guy said in a husky voice. “Hi” loveth was saying when the lady flung an handkerchief around her nose. She tried to wriggled free but of course the handkerchief was just induced. She fell asleep and felt the lady grabbing her.
