“Paps,” Lucas called, more like a whisper
He stood and watch the car speed off, Julia’s own followed
It was as if he was in trance, he didn’t know what he was doing anymore
* is this some kind of illusion or what* he thought
* Or is he now seeing things, but he’s sure of what be saw. It’s him, it’s papas….. It’s papped,” He said repeatedly
He was still lost in thought that he didn’t notice when Jason and Steve came to him, they didn’t notice the direction he was staring at
“We have to live here right now Lucas, there is a bomb in this building,” Jason said, but he kept staring in that direction
“Lucas,” Jason called but he still didn’t move… Steve traced his eyes and wondered if he saw someone over there
“Lucas, did something happen?” Steve asked
“Paps,” was all he muttered
Both Steve and Jason stared at each other wondering what he was talking about
“You mean your foster-dead father?” Steve asked and he nodded positively
“We will talk about this when we get home but now, we need to get out of here, we don’t have much time,” Jason explained

Julia’s car could be seen on the high way, her mind was occu-pied with the thought of Williams
She doesn’t know if she is supposed to be happy or sad, on the other side she’s happy that her brother didn’t die. But the question is how? How did he manage to survive the bomb blast
on another side, she’s angry cos he will be an obstacle to her progress
She was still lost in thought when a call came on her phone she picked it up immediately
“Why did you call,” she asked
“The cops caught Richard,” the caller replied
“That boy, how did it happen,” she inquired
“No one knows madam, but from the footage I recovered, I saw him last with Mr brooks. And it was as if someone called the cops between the two of them,” the caller replied
Julia was silent for a while, she no it must be the handwork of brooks. That ingrate!
“Find a way and get him out of there, take as many men as possible. I need him back,” she said and ended the call

CARTELS*
“Ouch, easy,” Chelsea winced in pain as bush attend to her wounds
“Sorry,” he mumbled and blows some air on it
The whole place suddenly became quiet as he focused on what he was doing, he kept glancing at her from time to time but she seem not to notice cos her wounds were inching
She slowly looked up to see him staring at her
“Anything on my face,” she asked
“Emm… No,” he replied
“Are you done then, stop staring and get over with this let me get out of here, it’s not like this is the first time you’re seeing me,” she shouted loud enough for him
“Almost done, and emm..” he stopped and take a de-eper breath, he don’t how she will feel about what he was about to say
“Ok,” she muttered
“Just OK,” he asked and she was for-ced to look at him
“Where you expecting me to say something before,?” She asked, she seem not to un-derstand what he was trying to say
“No….. But I… I want to tell you something important,” he said, he had made up his mind to tell her
It’s now or never, he can’t keep dying in silence, he needs to say it out and free himself from that burden
“Not now please,” she replied
“It’s really important,” he added
“Fine then, am listening,” she replied
“I know it might sound stupid or funny but the truth is that I love…….”
“Wait,” She didn’t let him finish his statement before stopping him, * this can’t be happening, she already loves someone else not him* she thought
“Chelsea, please allow me to finish explaining,” he said calmly
“Don’t try to turn your friendship into a relationship you might lose both, I think we are done here. Thanks for the treatment,” she said and stand to live but he blocked her way
“I hate being angry when am happy, don’t push it,” she said and shoved him aside
She walked inside the inner chamber and locked the door from inside before opening a secret door which was on the paper frame on the wall, one could hardly know that there is something there
