Zachary brou-ght the phone down his ear when Goldsax ended the call. He was utterly confused on what to do. He knew Goldsax more than anyone, when he gives an order, no one dares disobey.
He imagined killing the innocent poor woman but he just couldn’t.
Zachary thought for a while then called Terry on the phone to come over.
FEW MINUTES LATER
“You can’t kill Barbara” Terry said when Zachary told him of Goldsax’s order
“then what am I to do?”
“What you’re to do is don’t kill her”
“what if Goldsax finds out?”
“where did he tell you to dump her corpse?”
“he didn’t say”
“call him and ask him”
Zachary nodded and called Goldsax on the phone. They discussed for few minutes then he ended the call.
“what did he say?” Terry asked
“To dump the corpse in the water fall.. de-ep down the sea”
“won’t the cops find out?”
“no” Zachary replied “We do dump corpse in the sea”
“We’ll just come up with a fake scene for the CCTV to record then we’ll s£nd her away”
“So we don’t have to kill her?”
Terry shook his head “we don’t”
“how do we come up with the scene?”
“it shouldn’t by difficult. I was once p@rt of a movie industry few years ago so I should remember some movie tricks”
“start thinking cause we’ve got no time at all”
LATER….
Terry c@m£ up with an idea and Zachary drugged Barbara with a drink so she would be slee-ping when they carry out their main plan.
“Don’t you think she’s slee-ping now?” Zachary asked impatiently
“Let’s wait for few more minutes”
Few minutes later, Terry and Zac went up to Barbara’s room to check on Barbara who was alre-ady slee-ping on her be-d. They walked into her bathroom and Terry wiped ketchup everywhere a little bit on the bathtub and put ketchup in the water. When he was done, they carried her and placed in the water, and I started putting more ketchup to make it look a little more gruesome.
“this looks so real” Zac said excitedly when they were done.
“now we’ll use these sharpies…” Terry brou-ght out the sharpies he had bought from a local Target “… to sketch an outline of the supposed murder victim, Barbara on the floor”
“Alright”
When they were done sketching the outline, they smeared fake blood – actually acrylic paint- all over the floor, creating the impression a grisly murder had taken place right there in the middle of Barbara’s room.
“you’re a criminal” Zachary joked “it looks so real”
“now our next plan is to edit the footage so Goldsax doesn’t find out we faked her death”
“that’s where the problem is”
“That’s not going to be a problem”
Terry said confidently “Let’s get Barbara out of here”
They carried Barbara out of the bathtub and wra-pped her with the duvets
“you’ll be edited from the footage right?” Zachary asked Terry
“Yes”
Zachary carried Barbara like he were carrying a corpse down the stairs while Terry trailed behind him. When he got down the stairs, he saw the cart and remembered he hadn’t served Amberle dinner.
Zachary st©pped by the cart and said “you have to serve Amberle”
“I.. I don’t think I want to go up to her room” Terry stuttered
“why?”
“It’s nothing” he shrugged “just my decision.. At least not today nor tomorrow”
“So she’s going to stay hungry?”
Terry heaved a de-ep sigh “I don’t know”
“Just keep the cart at her door then knock and hide while she comes for the cart”
“what if….”
“I’m outta here” Zachary put in and walked out. He walked to his car and dumped Barbara in the backseat. Then he got in the driver’s seat and turned on the ignition. When he was about to drive out, he recalled he hadn’t asked Terry where to keep Barbara.
Zachary sighed and called Terry on the phone.
📱where do I keep her?
📲 I have no idea
📱 then what do I do with her?
📲 just s£nd her to our old pl@yhouse. Goldsax doesn’t like that place and besides, the place is deserted
📱 alright
Zachary hung up and drove off.
Terry pushed the cart up to Amberle’s room and st©pped by the door. He knocked softly on the door then hid at a corner. Terry waited for a few seconds but she didn’t come for the cart then he knocked again and hid.
Still no reply.
Terry sighed and walked back to the door. Immediately he raised his hand to knock, the door opened and Amberle appeared at the doorway. Terry froze on seeing her and slowly brou-ght his hand down to his side.
“Hey?!” he waved nervously
Amberle gazed from him to the cart then stepped aside for him to come in.
“How was your day?” he asked as he pushed the cart in
“it went well” Amberle replied and sat on my be-d
“okay”
“Zac was supposed to bring me dinner”
“he’s busy”
“Zac is always busy, are you sure he’s still alive?”
Terry chuckled “Zac is fine.. You’ll be seeing him tomorrow”
“Alright” Amberle said “so what did your cook?”
“baked beans”
“Yummy” she li-cked herl-ips as Terry served her the food in be-d
“uhm.. I’ll wait in the living till you’re done so I can take the cart”
Amberle nodded “alright” and continued eating while Terry walked to the living room.
He sat on a sofa turned on the TV.
Minutes later, Terry was gradually nodding to sleep on the sofa. He tried forcing himself to stay awake but couldn’t keep up and finally dozed off.
Amberle finished eating and went to check on Terry in the living room.
“Terry?!” she called as she walked into the living room but there was no reply. She walked to the sofa and saw Terry slee-ping.
Amberle smiled and ti-p toed to her refrigerator then she returned immediately with a bottle of water.
Amberle stood in front of the sofa and opened the water carefully so he wouldn’t wake. She raised the bottle above him and poured out its content on Terry’s face.
Terry j£rked up with a start screaming “oh gad! Water!” then he ran into the bathroom screaming “shower”
Amberle laughed and went after him “Terry come back”
“shower!” he shouted and dashed into the shower cabinet
“Terry?!” she laughed and pushed the door open “cut it out!”
Terry paused and stared at her. He wiped his face with his palm and looked around.
“what happened?”
“I poured water on you and you ran around screaming ‘shower’ like a little boy”
Terry sighed and dragged her un-der the shower.
“Why did you do that?”
“I just felt like having fun” she said and Terry dragged her closer till she was pressing on his che-st
“and you succeeded in getting my clothes we-t”
Amberle could feel her heart pounding in her che-st like it was going to pop out. She opened her mouth to talk but closed it back.
What would she say?
Terry heaved a de-ep sigh and looked up at the shower “wanna shower?”
Amberle’s jaws dropped “together?” she stuttered
Terry chuckled and closed the door “no one is watching” then he turned on the shower
“Terry?!”
Terry pushed his hair back with a sigh and shut his eyes, feeling the water run down his skin.
Amberle’s heart kept rising and falling. She was un-der a shower in a small shower cabinet. And getting we-t with her b©dy pressed against the man she admired the most was totally not a good idea.
Amberle moved back and Terry held her.
“Don’t move” he stated and slowly opened his eyes “you’re different”
“how?”
Terry sighed and opened the door “let’s go”
Amberle breathed out in relief and walked out first.
“thanks for the shower” Terry said when the were out of the bathroom
“What just happened?”
Terry laughed “we just got even”
“how?”
“You poured water on me so I had to revenge”
“You’re crazy” Amberle laughed
“I nee-d a towel”
Amberle took a towel from the hanger and gave it to him.
“Thank you” Terry said
“I’ll get you dried clothes” Amberle said and walked to her drawer
“what?” Terry g@sped in shock seeing her in just her un-derwear “when did you take off your clothes?”
Amberle laughed “it doesn’t take a muscle” she said as she searched the drawers
“I brou-ght a T-shi-t the last time I c@m£”
“and you forgot to take them. What if Goldsax saw them?”
Terry shrugged “I don’t know”
Amberle brou-ght out a T-shi-t and a dark p@n-ts.
“this would do”
“no short?” Terry asked “I’m we-t to the inside”
Amberle laughed and walked back to the drawers. She found a short and gave to him.
“That’s enough”
“perhaps” Terry shrugged, checking her out for the last time before walking back into the bathroom.
Amberle took the towel and dried her hair then parked it up in a ponytail. She took off her we-t undies and brou-ght out some dry clothes from her drawer.
“Are you done?” Terry asked, knocking on the bathroom door
“No.. Just a minute” Amberle replied and hurriedly put on her clothes “you can come put now”
Terry pushed the door open and walked out.
“You’ll have to wash my we-t clothes, they’re in the basin”
“Alright”
“Good night then”
“Good night”
Terry nodded and pushed the cart out of the room.
TWO DAYS LATER 📅📅📅
{Engagement later}
📱… I’m busy…
Zachary cradled his phone between his head and ear as he helped organize the hall for the p@rty.
📱… I’ll call you later
“Zac?!”
Zachary whirled around to see hvgh walking up to him.
“hvgh?!”
“Goldsax called to know how the preparation is going”
“it’s going well” Zac replied and looked around with his hands akimbo “I guess”
“where’s Terry? I haven’t seen him around”
“Me neither”
“alright.. See you later”
*****
“it’s now or never” Terry took in a de-ep breath as he Zi-pped up his bag. He walked to his car and dropped the bag in his back seat then placed a call to Zachary.
📱 I’m re-ady
📲 You have two hours to leave before Goldsax arrives at the penthouse. He’s going to see Amberle and at the same time check the footage
📱Alright.. Keep me on track
📲 Be careful Terry
📱I will
📲 it’s alre-ady 07:18 pm.. You have to get going
📱Alright
Terry ended the call and drove off. He hadn’t gone far when Zachary called back.
📲 Terry?!
📱What’s wrong?
📲 Goldsax alre-ady left. hvgh said he left almost 25 minutes ago
📱what?
📲 He should be at the penthouse alre-ady.. Hurry Terry
Terry ended the call and stepped on the accelerator. He sped off, disobeying every traffic sign and damaging things as he went.
Terry finally arrived at the penthouse and gr@bb£d his bag at the backseat, leaving his phone behind. He hung the bag and ran into the penthouse.
Terry ran up the stairs and rushed to Amberle’s room. He could hear her voice screaming as he approached the stairs.
Terry pushed the door open and the sight of Goldsax on Amberle got him furious.
“Terry?!” Goldsax snarled and Terry reached for a dart in his pocket. He sh0t the dart at him and Goldsax rolled off, holding the dart in his n£¢k.
“Amberle?!” he called and ran to the be-d
“Terry?!” Amberle sobbe-d
“Amberle I’m really sorry I c@m£ late” Terry apologized
“is he dead?” Amberle asked Terry, referring to Goldsax
“No, he’s just slee-ping”
“But he saw you”
“I know.. And we’re getting out of here” Terry replied and started searching her closet for a new dress
“how?”
Terry paused and looked at her “we’re escaping” he stated “come help me find a new dress.. We don’t have time”
Amberle hurriedly searched the closet for something she could wear. She was really scared.
What if they get caught?
“Goldsax saw the footage” Amberle informed
“that doesn’t matter.. We’ll be far away when he wakes up”
Amberle took off her torn clothes and Terry turned around. She put on a pair of jeans and T-shi-t.
“I’m done”
Terry turned around to face her “You might get cold outside”
Amberle nodded and took a long coat from the wardrobe. Terry helped her wear it then they start to the door. Before the got to the door, Zachary barged in, looking tensed.
“I’ve been calling you on the phone, why weren’t you taking your calls?” Zachary yelled
Terry searched his pockets but couldn’t find his phone “I left it in the car” he said
“where’s Goldsax?”
Terry pointed to the be-d
“you both have to leave now. Goldsax’s enemies found out about the engagement and besieged the penthouse”
“How are we going to leave?” Terry asked
“I left my car at the back. You’ll to down the subbasement” Zachary said
“what about you?” Amberle asked, speaking for the first time
“I can’t leave Goldsax behind” Zachary replied “I have to make sure he’s safe”
“you can’t die with him” Amberle yelled “how do you think you can escape from an unconscious man?”
“you’re not going to un-derstand, but I can’t leave him to die”
“how do we get away if the penthouse is besieged?” Terry asked
“they might’ve been able to locate the penthouse but the can’t locate the subbasement” Zachary replied and added “just go throu-gh the corridors there to the north side of the building where the car is waiting”
“Zac you’re coming with us” Amberle argued
Zachary ignored her and gave Terry a gun “use this to protect yourself”
“we’ll wait for you in the cemetery” Terry said and dragged Amberle down the corridor despite her protests.
“be careful” Terry said as they climbe-d out of the building throu-gh the back.
They got out of the building and ran to the car.
“what about Zac?” Amberle asked, getting into the car
“do you think I’m going to leave him behind?” Terry asked and slammed the car door shut with only Amberle inside “no matter what you see nor hear, don’t come outside”
“where are you going?” Amberle asked
“To get Zac” Terry replied “Lie down and don’t come out. You have to be br@ve now”
“Terry I’m scared”
“we can’t leave Zac in there”
“let me come with you”
“You’ll be safe in here. Don’t come out” Terry stated and ran back to out before Amberle could protests.
Terry was almost close to the building when the building blast. He fell back onto the ground, long legs sprawling.
“Terry?!” Amberle cried out from the car but she was too scared to come out
Terry la-id flat on the ground a the building got blasted. He got to few minutes later and ran to the car.
“Terry are you okay?” Amberle asked when he entered the car
“I’m fine” Terry inser-ted the key in the ignition and turned on the engine
Amberle looked back at the building that was alre-ady on fire as the drove out.
“What about Zac?”
“he’ll meet us at the cemetery”
“what if he dies in the blast?”
“I don’t think so.. Zac is a survivor”
_____________________________________
All around them the cemetery was still. Amberle held her breath in anticipation, cudd-ling in Terry’s arms. Nerissa’s headstone was in the new cemetery, with a brief inscription.
Terry placed his bouquet of roses in front of it.
“Happy birthday mom”
Amberle looked up at him, she could see the pain in his eyes. She headed a de-ep sigh and shifted her gaze back to the grave.
“Happy birthday Terry’s mom”
“you’re scared” Terry observed
“it’s really dark”
“I always come here on her birthday. I sleep on her grave when I was younger”
Amberle smiled and listened for any sound. And then she heard one. Heavy footsteps with her head down she stayed quiet, pretending she noticed nothing.
She tried telling herself that it was just her and Terry.
No one else.
The footsteps sounded closer, not even bothering to be stealthy.
“do your hear that?” Terry asked
Amberle nodded and held him ti-ghter.
“don’t move” Terry whispered and reached for his gun in his belt.
“St©p” someone said from behind “what you feel pressed against your head, Terrence, is a gun. If you haven’t st©pped your gun and let go of the girl in two heartbeats they’ll be scra-ping your br@ins off your mother’s headstone”
