“Miss Officer, I think Mom is in danger.” Archie cries out, he hugs Kayla tightly, ruining her shirt with his tears.
Kayla put her hand on his back, rubbing her hand on his back, trying to calm him down. “Hey, I don’t know how you get to know about this but that’s why we’re here, we are here for her and we will do everything to get her out of there.” Kayla exhales heavily, she releases Archie from the brief hug and stares deep into his eyes.
“What’s going on, do you know what happened to her?” Archie whispered, his brown eyes staring deep into Kayla’s forest green eyes, searching for an answer from her eyes.
“Um, I kind of know what happened and I think I could sort everything out if you quietly stay here and wait here for us.” Kayla clears her throat, she takes a few steps backwards but Archie grabs her hand and she arches her brows.
“What? Don’t you want to stay here?” she asks, wondering why he’s holding her hand when he ought to hop into the car.
“I can’t stay here, I want to go in with you.” he blurted out, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Kayla sighs for the nth time. “Listen, it’s too dangerous in there, and I can’t possibly take you to a place like that. If Melanie was here, she would have said the same thing. Stay here, and if you didn’t see us come out in the next thirty minutes, contact this number.” Kayla brings out her cell phone and slips it into his palm. She shows him the number she wants him to call and tries to walk away.
Archie pulls her back and hugs her tightly. “Please make it out alive.” he sniffles, Kayla smiles brightly, she pats his shoulder and walks up to Alfred that stares at them with pain in his eyes.
“What’s up with you?” March walks up to Archie, gripping his shoulders. “What’s up with the sad face?” she raises her eyebrows, staring deep into the boy’s face.
“Nothing,” Archie mumbled and look away from her. He pockets the cell phone and sighs. “I’m just feeling uneasy with all that is happening.” he blurt out truthfully, resting his back on Ben’s car that Kayla drove down there.
“Oh,” March sighs, she sneaks her hand into her pant pocket and brings out a sachets of pills. She stretches forth her palm and Archie takes it from her, staring blankly at the plain sachet.
“That will calm your nerves. Just chew it when you feel restless. It works for me.” March says, tapping his back and walking up to Kayla.
Upon hearing footsteps coming from the back, Kayla moves her head sideways to see March walking up to her. “You,” she says, pointing her index finger to March. “I want you to check the surrounding, we don’t know how many are there inside. Alfred will cover for me,” she instructs, checking her pistol to see if it’s intact.
March nod her head, then take off to do as she was told. As soon as she was out of sight Alfred pull Kayla to his side and move his face to her ear.
“Are you sure this will work?” Alfred asks worriedly.
“Do you have any plans?” she glared at him, Alfred shakes his head negatively. “That’s it then, we’re going with my plan,” she smirk and slightly push him out of the way.
“What about the law enforcement agencies you called earlier?” Kayla asks as she sneaks into the big building.
“They should be here any moment from now,” he replies bluntly. “Are you sure you want to go in there, alone?” Alfred asks, peeping at the eerily quiet building.
“Yes, stay here and wait for the officers, okay?” she whispers to him, with that, she sneaks inside while Alfred hides behind a girder.

“You’ll do what I want or I have your daughter kiss this world goodbye?!” Mia threatens, her evil voice present.
Melanie quickly go on her knees and join her palms together. “You can do whatever the fuck you want with me, but please not my daughter. Don’t do anything to my daughter.” she pleads, her eyes rolling back in as tears gush down her cheeks.
“How can I spare your daughter when Alfred’s blood runs in her vein, huh?” Mia smirked darkly, sending fear into Melanie’s mind. “I will make sure I wipe everything and everyone that would stand in my way.”
“Stop this madness, Mia. Alfred doesn’t give a damn about me, he broke up with me, he won’t even care if anything should happen to us.” Melanie yells at the top of her voice, her heart breaking into a thousand pieces not wanting to believe what she just say.
Mia grins evilly, not paying attention to her pleas. She grabs Skye from the tall guy that stands behind her, she force the girl’s mouth open and points the gun in her mouth. Skye shivered in shock, her eyes on her grandmother as she cried bitterly. Granny Vera wails profusely as she kneels there, pleading with Mia to let her grandkid go.
“Please let her go, you can kill me but don’t hurt my grandkid.” Granny Vera pleads, balls of sweat form on her forehead as she stares painfully at Mia.
“Who should I kill first, this sweet little girl, or that old hag?” she crackles, pointing her pistol between Skye who was trembling in fear and Granny Vera who grip tight at her daughter.
“Choose!” she yells at Melanie.
“If anyone is to kiss this world goodbye, that should be you!” comes an angry voice from the door sending a chill down everyone’s spine, aside from Melanie. She recognises the voice at once and her lips part in a smile.
“Who the heck is that?” Mia hollers, she grabs Skye by the neck and has her gun pointed at her head.
Harley rush up to Granny Vera and the rest of the guys have their gun pointed at Melanie.
The door burst open, revealing Kayla who is grinning hard at them with her gun pointed at Harley. “Drop that woman, bitch, or I shove my pistol down your throat.” She threatens, glaring hard at Harley who grabs Granny Vera to herself in defence.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
