The bump to the head woke her. She slowly opened her eyes and all she could see is darkness. She felt another bump to the head, fully waking her up from what felt like a slumber. Her head started to ache. She felt like she was moving side to side, not realising what’s going on. She felt like she's lying on a carpeted floor. She moved her legs and found that she couldn’t stretch them out like she wanted to. She drew her hand up and felt herself touching what felt like a wall.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7diwvZZO

She started to feel around and realised that she’s in some kind of box as she felt the walls around her. Then she felt the box move around, in the process, hitting her head a few times on the walls. She now started to panic as she started to precipitate, and wondering why she's in a box.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrSsHZxqdI

She heard the sound of an engine. Is she in a car? I must be, she thought. She started to pound on the lid above and she heard the sound of heavy metal. She is in a car. She continued to bang on the lid, hoping that there is someone out there. But she soon figured they were probably driving down a dark lonely road with no one around.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGJ66BhzF0

As much as she tried to, her heart still beat faster at the thought of being in a trunk of a car. She tried to remember how she got in this situation, but she still felt dizzy and a blank picture came up every time she tried.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmwgTeMqiM

The sudden thought of Rhénee crossed her mind. She soon remembered where she was before and who she's with right now. She was in the bathroom of Mr. Cowell’s house, trying to help clean his wound, when all of a sudden, he had her back pinned to the wall. Before she could realise what's going on, he covered her nose and mouth with a white cloth. She remembered it had a horrible smell and it made her lose sight of things. Next thing she knew, she's locked in a trunk.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRLnpJQtXR

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal9IB37UPw
Now that she has recalled everything, she couldn’t believe Mr. Cowell could do what he did. First of all, he lied about being injured, then he drugged and stuffed her in the back of a car. She couldn’t wrap her head around all this so as to know what motive he could've to do what he did. She continued to bang on the lid, hoping that he could hear her and let her out.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7XCjdbPQx

The bumpy ride continued and Miss Griselda soon got tired of banging on the trunk’s lid. There were probably no people or cars around that could hear her. She now wondered where she is.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhWhbZSudh
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb9mRmtHdZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS6RncKwbv
Soon enough the car came to a stop and Miss Griselda held her breath for a second as she heard the opening and closing of the car door. The soft roar of the engine continued when she heard the sound of footsteps drawing closer.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMBxeJr8Br
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1w9gK8hRM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Tz5YFG9k
She heard the trunk opening and when it did, cold air quickly rushed in, surprising Miss Griselda who had gotten used to the hot, stuffy air. A dark figure of a person appeared above her and before she could utter a sound, the person reached for her shoulder and roughly made her sit up so as to get out of the boot.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x5CJ3IXy3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFJRUxiOph

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY83tc7blzk
Miss Griselda didn’t try to fight back as she got out. The place is dark and cold. With trees all around, it's like a dark veil covered the whole area.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZiu5tW0N
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivlfSwazP5
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDc9Zahun
“Why are you doing this?” Miss Griselda asked as soon as she was out. Mr. Cowell closed the boot, while his other hand held tight around Miss Griselda’s arm.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hPJHTkw6h

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgh7kMH0Gs
“Stop talking,” he ordered, as he brought her round the front of the car. The headlights of the car were still on, and when Miss Griselda stood in front of them, she felt like a deer about to get run over.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6hSrV162H

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkfCg2h5gV
He started to drag her with him away from the car and along a one lane road. Miss Griselda tried to stop in her tracks, but Mr. Cowell was too strong for her as he continued to drag her along.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vnwbm6DdG

They continued to walk away from the car. Miss Grisleda looked around to see if she could tell where she is, but there were trees all around and Madison is widely known for its vast forestry. Trying to pinpoint where she is will prove to be difficult.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mfjzgqKx

The two continued their walk down the road when the sound of flowing water reached their ears. Miss Griselda continued to look ahead of her and realised that they were heading towards a wooden bridge. She knew where they were and before she could say anything to Mr. Cowell, she noticed that there were two cars in front of her, close to the bridge. She hadn't seen them until now.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgvfKxbkVw

Mr. Collins started to approach the people who had come out of the cars, leaving Miss Griselda helpless on the ground. He knew if she didn’t keep an eye on her, she wouldn’t go anyway. She knew that too. The people standing next to their cars might have guns and wouldn’t hesitate to shoot her.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tk8HsIyYw

Before Miss Griselda could say anything, Mr. Cowell came to her and bent downwards so as to grab a fistful of her hair in his hand, yanking her upwards. Miss Griselda muttered, as he pulled on to her hair tightly. It felt like he was ready to rip it out from her skull.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu42uCHwUp

"And we'll only need you to do so,” said Mr. Cowell as he stared at her after forcing her to stand with him. "Can't you see, Griselda? If we hurt you, she'll suffer bitterly. But that doesn't mean she won't have to undergo more of it. For what we'll do to you, we'll do it to her too."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3TO5QL9nu

Mr. Cowell stared at the man like he would murder him. It's clear that he didn't want to do as he was told. But in the end, he let go of Miss Griselda's hair. He got hold of her arm like he did before and dragged her forward.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0tfqJRTC

Miss Griselda took a glance at the man before passing him with Mr. Cowell. She could only see the side of his face, but even that wasn’t enough. Now that she's close, she felt she had heard the man’s voice before, but couldn’t tell where she heard it from or who it might be. With all this adrenaline running through her head, she was finding it pretty hard to think.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSJHFbPxUZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL6q3mXaFR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWp4TrpOsB
She looked at Mr Cowell beside her and questions about him started to rise. Has he been planning to do this for a long time? Why didn’t he do anything when the late Emelda was still alive? He had been her gardener for a long time and even when Emelda died, he still worked at the mansion. When did he have a change of heart? Did he change recently? Miss Griselda thought she knew him, but it's like she never did.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJQyef7Ya

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAwpePOHF4
Mr. Cowell dragged her along to one of the cars and made sure to shove her in the backseat, closing the door after her. Miss Griselda heard the corking sound of a gun. It was then that she realised that there's someone seated next to her in the backseat with a gun pointed at her head. She gulped.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0Q6NBoGy

Miss Griselda couldn’t turn her head to see the woman’s face. It wouldn’t make a difference if she tried as the inside of the car is dark. She had better things to worry about. Miss Griselda now felt scared, hoping that the worst hadn’t happened to Rhénee and to Kevin who is with her at this very moment.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq1YiuQMBo

Rhénee couldn't help but agree. She watched through the window at Malcom who had already reached the outside of the gate and entered his car.

Malcom and Kevin got ready to lift the man on the floor. They carried him up like a heavy log, with two of them lifting him from either side. They looked to be carrying him with ease as they made their way out of the living-room and to the front door. The car stood right outside the doorstep with the trunk open. Rhénee and Greta went past the two to stand outside to see that there were no people watching them from anywhere. At the moment, there were no people moving around. Seems like they were in their houses, settling in for the night. While for Rhénee and the others, their night has just begun.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hdDuUHflC

Mrs. Derrand stared at the clock on the wall and the stomping of her foot on the floor increased impatiently. She looked around the empty living-room, hoping for any of the house help to be there, but they weren't. She looked back at the clock and realised that her children were taking quite a while to get back. Have they lost track of time and are out there doing something else? She wanted to call them. But if they were still at Rhénee’s house, she felt she would be butting in on them. What if they’re having a good time with her? No, they’ll show up when they want to, she thought. I better give them a text to remind them to come back quickly, she thought.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTcx2aZjRz

She went for her phone that rested on the armchair and when she looked at it, she found that she had a message from someone telling her to call. She rolled her eyes in disbelief as she quickly called the number.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGmckEOutn

Eugene stood at the front door of Mrs. York's house, waiting for someone inside to open the door. He couldn't wait to see Albert. He hoped that no one had told him about the incident.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzxGEhIABH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0MITr9xcK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ZrTK7LEX
He looked to the house next to Mrs. York's, over the hedge that separated the two houses. The place is dark. Even when he wanted so much as to go there, he feared his father’s blood was still on the doorstep. But he will have to eventually. He could only imagine the gruesome scene of his father by the doorstep with a gun wound.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VKHPRMiBt

He turned to see Mrs. York standing in the open doorway and looking at him. She is much older than his mother and she put on some weight in the years he has known her. She looked plump with red, ruddy cheeks. Her short, blonde curly hair stood in every direction.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ111DDj7QO0

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHvdeLFnC
"Nonsense," she snapped at him, almost angrily. He could see her ruddy cheeks start to redden. Was it with anger? He couldn’t tell. "After what happened, believe me, you’re better off here than at that house for the time being."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75TfR2IYOD

Eugene followed Mrs. York into the living-room where the blurring light from the TV greeted his face that he had to shield the light with his arm. He realised that the main lights in the room were off and only the lamps situated in different parts of the room were on making the place partially dark.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdMAWwvWoe

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsGjYHRhI4

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDPIhgcRn7
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1yYSh4NPZ

Eugene already knew that. He didn’t have to be reminded for what felt like a thousandth time. But he never thought Mrs. York would actually go so far as wishing his father dead. Yes, he’s been nothing but dead weight for years, but his mother didn’t mind and that’s why she is at the hospital. Eugene just tolerated this because of his mother. For some reason, he felt responsible over her and didn't want to leave her in all this grief. Not to mention there's Albert too, who just like his mother, loved his father dearly.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AvQzb4FWB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwl1E964Wi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWxSSzTOSP
"You're right," said Eugene. "He's been nothing but dead weight. And for so long, I wanted him far away from us. That's why I wanted my mother to divorce him; but she loves him. She has always loved him. I've never wished him dead before, not even in the slightest."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Yza3o3SV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv16Q71pw2N
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMy7SZpVxr
"I know. Forgive me, Eugene." Mrs. York looked remorseful and Eugene could tell she meant it. "It's just that, you, your mother and little Albert are like family to me. And when I see something is wrong, I'm sorry, I just have to air it out. Your father doesn't deserve to live. Not after what he's done and still continues to do."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ycQFADYQ

A chill ran down his spine and he swallowed hard. Almost an hour ago, he had hoped for the same thing. Now that Mrs. York said it out loud, he felt doubtful.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u1tKoN3k8

Eugene turned to look at the blank screen of the television as if searching for an answer. But all he saw was a dark, blurry reflection of himself looking back at him. Should he tell Albert what's going on? He deserves to know that his father is fighting for his life at this very moment. But if he does tell him, how will he take it?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvb1MkrLei

"He's in the guest room," said Mrs. York. "He seemed to be tired and went to bed. I'm not so sure he's asleep, though. There's another bed in the room, so you don't have to worry about where you've to sleep."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStwIzOxIJN

Eugene started to make his way out of the living-room with Mrs. York following behind him. He didn’t have to be directed where to go for he knew where the room is. He has been in this house many times. He branched off to the hall to the left before approaching the stairs. Mrs. York stood for a bit, watching him go to the room at the far end before she went for the stairs to her own room.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH5eb4WeTy

Eugene reached the guest room, but instead of going in, he stood right at the door. He didn’t have the energy to lift his hand to touch the door knob. He felt rooted on the spot. He didn’t want to go in. What if he finds Albert awake? He didn’t even bother to check the time because he’s usually asleep around 9PM. He might be tired as Mrs. York put it, but what if he’s up? Eugene didn’t know what to do as he felt himself start to sweat.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxZwUVuWzU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99XuDBhQcx

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KOwisvYfW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDNZFrz7Uo
He found himself lifting his hand to hold the door knob. He turned it and slowly pushed the door open. He found the lights of the room on. And for a minute there, he thought Albert is awake. But instead, he found his brother on one of the beds, sleeping above the bed covers with a book wide open beside him. Eugene couldn’t help but feel relieved, yet again, he really hoped to find him awake, just to talk to him. This way is the best, he thought in the end.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiPvM02A69
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyk9pfD8kf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVOFydIBG1
He approached the bed and quietly put aside his book back in the bag that lay on the floor. He then put Albert inside the bed covers. Albert didn’t even open his eyes as he turned around to a more comfortable position and continued with his sleep.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbhfuEpUdL

Eugene went to the other bed across from his brother and watched Albert for a while. He decided that he should take some rest too. He knew he was going to have a huge confrontation with him in the morning, so he needed all the energy he could get.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW5t7p9Jz6

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6jMHeS6S
He stood up from the bed and made his way to the door where next to the wall is the switch. He flipped it and the lights went off. He went to the bed and lay himself down. He looked up at the dark ceiling and thought for a while. Despite being tired he still felt like he couldn’t sleep.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj69eAgE5r
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheqY3QWurL

Mrs. York reached the bottom and made her way down the hall with Eugene following right behind her. She went in the kitchen and he stood by the door. There is a key hanger on the wall next to the back door and there were several other keys on the hooks. She got one of them and approached him, handing it over.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCiHae3IQ
