CHAPTER 15&16
★
Warren's thumb clicked on the red button, ending the call immediately the words from the depth of abyss fell out of his wicked mouth.
"Isn't she crossing the line?" Capri smirked, hating her guts.
"I expected anything since the investigation we made on her. She's Stonia's daughter, isn't it? A bîtch who got stepped down from her vice presidential office for bribery and still acted shameless about it, of course she'd give birth to her carbon copy" Warren replied, anger cracking through his voice.
"So you're not really moving an inch? What if she shoots Matron?" Capri said.
"She wouldn't" Warren sat on the bed edge.
"And if she did?" Capri said.
"She. Wouldn't" Warren looked up at him, his eyes ridiculously dark.
"Who's shooting who?" Konstantin said, entering the room.
"Weren't you railing someone in the kitchen just now?" Capri replied, inserting his hands into his pockets.
"Cut the crap and tell me what shit going on?" Konstantin glared.
"Pet girl took the Matron" Capri replied, and Konstantin laughed first, the sound unpleasant.
But when he realized it's not a joke, he stopped the laughter, and his eyes twitched repeatedly, then he dashed out of the room.
"Shit! Konstant!" Capri went after him.
"Man, calm the heck! Konstant!" His voice was still reaching Warren in the room as he chased after Konstantin.
Warren stood, pushing the bottle of alcohol on his bedstand to the ground to crash.
Not like he drinks, but Ashton left it there last night.
Warren neither drinks nor smokes, but he sniffs.
The cocaine ecstasy...once in a while though.
He took his shirt from the bed, wearing it on top of the black singlet on his body as he stood in front of the mirror.
He was still pushing his second arm into the sleeve when his eyes caught his shoulder.
There's a dislocation mark on it, and his chest rose when he remembered how he got that.
—Three Yrs Ago—
"Now get up!! Get up!!!" The prison guard yelled hatefully after beating Warren to his satisfaction.
Warren's side of the stomach was bleeding, staining his uniform and pants, then his eyes are blurry as a result of the blood that entered it.
He can't even see correctly as he walked behind the guard, towards his prison room.
He was staggering pitifully, and his foot is slippery on the ground till the guard stopped in front of a room and opened it.
Immediately he opened the door, the other prisoners from the cell rooms began gasping.
* Ow, pity!
* He got the hell room.
* Hawke will kill him!
* Fûck! He won't last three days I swear.
* Shit! Poor him.
The guard pushed Warren into the room, and he landed on the ground again, then the door closed.
Warren heard nothing at first, for the first three minutes.
But after the three minutes, the sound of shrill laughter filled the room, so scary that Warren had to look up very fast, his body shaking.
There are three people in the room—three men.
On the right... There's a lanky tall one.
On the left... There's a bulky short one.
The middle one is a total giant. He's gigantically tall, bulky and bald. He must be the Hawke they talked about, the biggest hell of this prison.
"Welcome...to hell" Hawke boomed, and his two minions laughed as if he just made the joke of the century.
Warren swallowed his own spit, struggling to his bloody feet.
Hawke cane closer, his steps heavy on the ground like he's the legendary Goliath or worse.
Getting to Warren, he placed an hand on his shoulder, leaning down to him before smiling, showing his set of rotten, brown teeth.
It smells, and Warren had to hold his breath.
Hawke detected immediately, and his hold on Warren's shoulder tightened.
"Did you just hold your breath? My breath stinks?" He glared.
"Yes" Warren replied without missing a beat.
"Yes?" Hawke leaned even closer.
"Your breath, it reeks" Warren muttered hopelessly.
"Perfect" Hawke replied, pressing his hard, big hand into Warren's shoulder.
He dislocated a bone, and Warren's knees hit the ground immediately as pains ate him.
"Arhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
—Present Time—
Warren finally finished putting on the shirt and left the room.
He could hear Konstantine's argument with the guys as he made his way towards the snake rails, but then Anastasia came out of the extra room.
The lady he wrecked last night, and just like the other ladies, she's totally naked, too, her puxxy obviously sore and face red from tears and intensity.
She still has round rope marks on her wrists as a result of binding, and her thick thighs are slapping each other as she walked.
"Last night was the best night of my fuckin life, man. I love your hardness, it's quiet hard to find a dude with your type of stamina" she smiled, pushing her breàsts to his chest before kissing him lightly on the lips.
"I love your c0ck, madly" she whispered into his ear, running her hand to the middle of his legs.
She almost grabbed it, but he pushed her back, and she blinked.
"Read the room, my mates are arguing downstairs, and you expect me to shove myself inside your puxxy?" He sneered.
"Sorry, I just thought—"
She was still thinking when he went down the stairs, leaving her there.
One of the other ladies came to meet her.
"How was it?" She asked.
"I just knew he'd be harsh in bed. I nearly died, but I liked it" Anastasia smiled.
"What do you expect from an ex-convinct? Years of pent up sèx deprivation, of course you'd get banged hard" the second lady nudged with her shoulder, and Anastasia chuckled, both watching as he finally got to the base of the stairs.
Konstantin is still trying to get out of the house, but Capri and Ashton are holding him back, and he's not ready to give in.
Warren stood silently behind, watching the chaos like he payed for it.
The ladies are nowhere to be found right now, they're all in the kitchen.
"Matron? She went too far. Who said she has the right to retaliate? Huh?" Konstantin broke free from the two guys again.
"So now what? You're gonna go kill Stonia and Rafael?" Ashton said.
"Yeah, even Serena her cousin! How dare she touch Matron?" Konstantin glared.
"She's not gonna shoot her, so why don't you get your arse down" Capri spoke.
"Still doesn't mean we're gonna let her go Scot free for taking her, is she supposed to have a reaction other than suicide?" Konstantin fired and walked past the two of them, going for the door again.
"Get back in here, Konstant" Warren finally spoke, but Konstantin was already opening the door.
"Konstantin!!" Warren yelled thunderously, and Konstantin slammed the door shut, coming back inside with heavy, unestablished breaths.
"Now what?" He seethed, trying to calm himself.
"Now we're gonna go get the first suspect on Evelyn's missing body list" Warren replied.
"Ladies! It's hightime you return to your father's houses" Ashton said, and the ladies hurried out of the kitchen, dressing up with the next three minutes before they all filed out of the house.
They already got their payments in their accounts, so all deal is done.
Anastasia looked back when she got to the door, and she blinked innocently at Warren before leaving with the rest.
Shortly, Warren stepped out with the guys too.

[An Old Mill]
Ixora choose this place as her location for the taking, not only because it's quiet, but also because it's discreet.
When she was young, she once got lost during her parents election campaign, and she was found in this same mill, so it's the only suitable place she knows as a newbie kidnapper.
If anyone told her yesterday that this would be happening, she'd have denied it, but here she is, taking an helpless woman as hostage.
She actually didn't go back home last night.
She staked out in front of the Creed's family house, and this morning, Matron was going for morning mass in church when she placed a nailed plank on the road, causing her car tyres to burst.
When Matron came down to check what's wrong, she had injected her with some midazolam which she got from the hospital, and then she brought her here, tied her to a chair and gagged her mouth.
She woke up an hour ago though.
Thanks to the gun Nadine helped her get illegally, there's something to scare her with, but it seems there's nothing to scare Warren with after all.
Cos she definitely wasn't expecting the reply he gave her on the video call she did thirty minutes ago.
To think she gave him a threat and he replied with a threat?
"If you don't shoot her in thirty minutes like she said, I'll kill your father, drain his blood and bath yo with it"
Can he be less gutsy?
She's currently sitting on a chair in front of the Matron, and Nadine is standing behind her.
Nadine had stubbornly tagged along despite her trials at stopping her.
"It's already past thirty minutes, and you haven't done the shot. You think he's really gonna kill your dad?" Nadine said fearfully, her voice slightly shaky.
"I'm not shooting anyone yet, I only captured her to get an emotion from him. I wanted fear even if it's a bit, I wanted him to find me and we'd talk normally, but it seems I pressed the wrong button" Ixora replied.
"And the dad's part? He won't kill my dad" she further said.
"How sure? How can you be so bold about it?" Nadine came closer.
"He won't kill him" Ixora replied calmly, ripping the cello tape away from Matron's mouth.
"You're the one who testified against him, isn't it?" The woman spoke instantly, and the hate in her eyes so thick.
"It's you, Ixora Rhodes, and you're just as shameless as your mother. I was in court that day too yunno. I was crying on my knees at the back, but you didn't even look at me! He might not be my son but he's like a son to me cos I raised him, and I have my children too whom I wouldn't want anyone to hurt! How could you do that?" She said, the words thorning.
"I'm...sorry" Ixora replied.
"Sorry wouldn't do anything! Warren went to jail but those eyes that came back aren't the same eyes I knew! He's empty! And if you're really sorry then why did you take me? Are you planning to kill me and frame him for it so you can return him to jail?" Matron slammed.
"I took you with no plans to shoot you. Yes I lied on him, and I'm guilty, but tell him I want him to come for me alone not my family. He shot my mum and I should shoot you back right now!" Ixora said.
"Then shoot me!" Matron snarled.
Ixora immediately spranged up, stretching the gun at the woman who immediately closed her eyes, expecting the shot.
"Xoxo" Nadine shook her head
Ixora stared at the woman for a minute before she lowered the gun, then she got a note from her pocket which she placed on Matron's laps.
Matron opened her eyes, then Nadine untied the ropes she was tied with.
"Give the note to him, please" Ixora replied simply, leaving the place with Nadine.
Matron stood, taking a long look at the short note before walking out of the dusty mill.
Her phone rang with Warren's call, and she picked with a sigh.
"Where are you?" He asked straight.
"She brought me to a mill, but I'm free now, and there's a note for you. I'll send a screenshot" she replied, hanging up.
She took a picture of the one line note and sent it.

[Creed's family house]
Lydia brought a tray containing Elder Creed's favorite drink into his Inferno chamber, and the man never blinked as she set the glass and bottle of chocolate cream on the table.
His eyes are wholly on the burning fire.
Lydia poured the thick choco cream into the glass and handed it to the man who took it and had a short sip.
"You should cut your sugar intake, sire" Lydia said, stepping back.
"I've had too much bitterness to handle, I should at least eat sweet things while I can" he replied, taking another sip.
"By the way... he's here. Ixora's father" Lydia said.
"Send him in, and leave us alone" Elder Creed replied, and Lydia left.
Rafael came in after a minute, and he's obviously angry as he marched to the man in wheelchair and stood in front of him, blocking his view of the burning fire.
"Put your son on a leash. I respect you a lot and that's why I came here, otherwise I'd have killed him" he said.
"Get beside me, you're obstructing my view of the beautiful fire" Elder Creed replied.
"I just told you to control your son! Tell him to leave my daughter and ex-wife alone!" Rafael snapped.
"And if he doesn't?" Elder Creed looked up.
"I'll kill him, and you'll be transferred from a wheelchair to the grave cos I'll kill you too" Rafael replied.
Elder Creed drank from his chocolate before replying.
"If you're able to kill him, I'll willingly let you kill me"
"What!" Rafael frowned.
"You heard me, Rafael. And did you just tell me to control him? He can't even control his own thirst for revenge so how are you expecting me to take on it? His Killswitch is already broken" Elder Creed continued.
"And also...I'm enjoying his antics, so my job is to off anyone who tries to stop him" Elder Creed said.
"Elder!!" Rafael seethed.
"Careful, I hate loudness just as much as my son does" Elder Creed replied.
"They were right, you're evil too, only covering up with philanthropy, but read my lips... I cherish my daughter too much, and if any other incident happens, then I'll show you why I'm the only man remaining in the Rhodes family" Rafael replied, storming out of the chamber.
Lydia came back in.
"Should I follow him and kill him?" She asked.
"Let him be, his death won't be interesting. I hate boring blood" Elder Creed replied.

[V-Menu Restaurant]
Hunting for a prey is an interesting game, but hunting for a suspect is far from the interesting line.
Warren is already bored out of his mind as he sat in the restaurant with the guys, all of them on the lookout for the last person Evelyn fought with before her death.
He works as a waiter in this restaurant, and he's yet to come for his shift, so they've been waiting since no one knows his house.
His eyes are on his phone, checking the screenshot Matron sent.
~ Come for me directly, don't go near my parents or friends. ME.
He was rolling his eyes around the screen as he read...
"He's here" Ashton said, and they all looked up at the same time when the waiter guy came in.
He walked to the kitchen and apologized for coming late, then he moved to the locker room to get his apron.
Warren and Capri followed him, and when some of the kitchen chefs tried stopping them, Ashton and Konstantin blocked them.
"Sit down" Konstantin ordered, his voice lethargic.
The chefs shifted back, blinking as they sat calmly.
Meanwhile, in the locker room...the waiter already finished putting on his apron, but when he tried getting out, he was met with Warren and Capri at the door, and he gasped.
"I'll make it quick, I really don't have time to abduct you, so tell me, where is Evelyn's body?" Warren asked.
The waiter gulped hard.
"Why would I... have it? She came here to eat with her two friends last month and I mistakingly poured water on her. She slapped me three times cos of it and wounded me with her heels but that's that, I wouldn't take her body cos of it" he said.
Warren grabbed him dangerously by the front of his shirt, and he began peeing on himself.
"P.. please don't kill me. I really didn't take her body. I have a sick mother in the hospital what would I possibly do with Evelyn's body!!" He cried.
"Shithead" Warren muttered and let go of him.
He fell on the ground, into the pool of his own pee.
Warren got out of the locker room with Capri, and the rest followed them from the kitchen.
"P or N?" Ashton asked.
"N, dude chickened out and was peeing on himself immediately War touched him. That one won't be able to kill a chicken talk more of stealing a body" Capri replied.
"And the next on our list is who?" Konstantin asked.
"Mrs. Ortega, her mother" Warren replied as they got in their car.

[Stonia's Mansion]
"I can't believe I actually kidnapped someone with you, and I even got an illegal gun for you, what am I becoming these days? Shii" Nadine covered her eyes with her palm.
She's on Ixora's bed in her room.
Stonia got discharged today like she wanted, and she's currently in the living room, working with his managers despite her doctors warning.
Ixora knew her mum is stubborn, so she just let her do her thing.
Ixora just finished taking a shower since she felt hot, and she's coming out of the bathroom with her white towel wrapped around her body.
"What are friends for?" She smiled, and Nadine sat up.
"Friends for trouble? Evelyn dragged you into this mess she died, then her body even went missing and we're still freaking out about that, but here you are, dragging me into shit again" she said.
"Remember I told you not to come with me, you insisted" Ixora said.
"Even though" Nadine fell back in bed dramatically, and Ixora cackled, dressing up in a cropped top and pleated jean, then she left the room and went downstairs to meet Stonia.
Serena is currently trying to make her stop working, but she's not even listening.
Ixora went there and took Stonia's laptop from her, then she faced the three managers.
"Leave, she needs to rest" she said.
"But the Capetown branch—"
"Leave" Ixora strictly cut the manager off, and he looked at Stonia who really looks tired.
When she said nothing, they left.
"What are you doing Ixxy?" Stonia said tiredly.
"You should lay down and allow your arm to heal properly" Ixora replied, taking her downstairs.
Serena scoffed, getting mad again.
"So she listens to her but not me?"
She was still maddening up when Kelsey's call rang on her phone.
She picked it from the couch and clicked pick.
"Serena how the F are you coping? Would you believe Rafael nearly crushed me with his car yesterday cos I called Ixora idiotic?" Kelsey said.
Serena threw her weight on a couch, blowing air from her mouth to her nails.
"Now you understand me, they'd do anything for that girl and I'm just... urg!" She groaned.
"It's Sunday tomorrow, let's meet at our spot" Kelsey said.
"Sure"
--
After Ixora got Stonia to her room and made sure she's resting in bed already, she stepped out of the room and returned to her own room.
Nadine is already eating strawberries when she got there, and she was about to join her when she got a text.
It's from Warren.
• The abandoned church in your district, 10pm tonight, and bring a 5-inch knife along.
"What's it?" Nadine asked.
"Nothing" she smiled, joining her to eat the strawberries.
--
[5PM]
Since the death of Monty's father, she always went to his gravesite to drop flowers every Saturday.
She has never missed a Saturday since the year of that calamity, just like today.
She halted her car in the middle of the marbled graves, getting down with a bunch of daffodils since they were her dad's favorite.
Tina came with her, so she got down from the other side of the car, carrying a bottle of expensive wine which they're gonna drink at the grave.
With no words exchanged, they made their way to Mr. Blair's grave, but to their utmost dismay, it was another calamity entirely.
The grave has been dug out, and the coffin has been burnt to the ground beside it, together with the remains of the dead body.
The flowers fell from Monty, and she ran over, kneeling beside the ashes before scooping it in her palms.
The wine nearly fell from Tina too, but Tina held strong, her foot sweating inside her heels socks.
"What's going on? Who did this? Why would anyone dig out his body to burn with the coffin?" She said, her eyes so wide.
Tears fell from Monty's eyes before she knew it, and she slept on the ashes, not minding the hotness.
"D..dad.... Dad!!!"
Tina dropped the wine and knelt beside her, rubbing her back in consolation.

[Chapel Of Silence, 10pm]
Ixora didn't exceed the given time, she came right at the dot.
She had to lie to Stonia that she's going to get something at Nadine's place, so she came here, to meet the devil in an abandoned church.
"Chapel Of Silence" was crafted boldly in front of the building, and though the wood is starting to fall out cos insects already ate deep into it, the name is still bold.
The paint on the body of the church has already peeled, leaving pounding impacts of rain on the bleached walls.
Happy lizards are running around the roof sills, and though the moon in the sky isn't very bright as it hid under the dark clouds, it's still enough for her to see.
The environment is eerily silent, dead silence. And the as the air slapped her skin repeatedly, she felt shivers which she quickly shook away.
She's wearing six layers of pants and three layers of boy shorts, then two skirts and two tops plus a pullover, just to cover up well.
She has no idea what she's gonna face in there, but she's better prepared.
She took another look at the building as she shut her car door, and the ominous structure made another wave of shivers creep into her skin.
There is no single light inside and outside this church, and the atmosphere smells like danger already, but strangely, her chest is not pounding with trepidation.
She pressed her fingers on her backpocket where the foldable 5-inch knife is sitting like he requested.
Her second hand pressed the middle of her jean skirt where her illegal gun is sitting.
She has brought it secretly in case of necessity, knowing that she's alone, and she needs at least the gun for backup.
She took a deep breath, and the moon became brighter in the sky as if aligning with her thoughts as she took brave steps towards the church front door
She opened the door, and it came wide with a zippy sound.
She took another deep breath before stepping into the dark church.
The door closed, slamming loudly behind her, and then she realized the church ain't completely dark.
There's a dim light on the alter, and under the dim light, he sat—like sin.
He sat like iniquity, like everything untameable, and his evil eyes are closed as his elbows rested on the cemented alter stairs.
Her lips parted as she tried to call him, but his eyes opened before she could, and he stood to his feet immediately.
He began walking to her, his steps silent, and she began walking to him too, making sure to trace the wall with her fingers so she won't fall.
Tonight would be the darkest night of her life. She could feel it in every inch, under her skin.
TBC.
