ENIGMA BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT

Chapter-17 Surprise!?

Their parents were tied up in a room with two people keeping an eye on them. May dashed in and broke their fists and legs. She beat them until they were unconscious. May was still furious and kept on beating them.
I couldn't look at them. They were in too miserable condition. Their ribs were broken. Shoulders dislocated and teeth plucked out. I don't remember if I have beaten someone to this extent.

Arnold quickly untied their parents and tightly hugged his dad. May said," Hey Arnold, we don't have time for that we should take them home." We quickly fled from there and when we reached home, Aunt Sabrina was shocked. She screamed," I'm dreaming right? There's no way I'm seeing Scott, Elaine and Arlo together and alive. I was told by the woman who saved me that y'all were burned alive."

Arnold's dad said," Hey Sabrina, you're not dreaming. We all are right in front of you and that's all possible because our children saved us. Yes, Arnold, May and my little princess Veronica saved us. The woman who evacuated us from the burning house was Casey and when we were fully healed she asked us to move in the farmhouse for some days but she tied us instead."

Arnold puffed his mouth and said," Dad, you always favour Veronica as if she's your child and the one who is your child is nothing to you?" He replied," Hey, you have your mom to rely on. She never had a mom to rely on. She's the only child of my best friend, Vernon. So technically she's like my child."

I said," thanks uncle, my dad was very upset when he found out that you were dead. I can't wait to tell him you're alive. He'll be too happy that he'll return to Nashville right now." Aunt Sabrina said," wait, how did you children know that these three were alive and if you knew why didn't any of you tell me anything?"

May said," mom, we didn't tell you anything because we didn't want to get anyone else involved in it. We wanted to do it secretly and we didn't want you to worry."
Arnold's dad said," wait, why is she calling you mom?" Aunt Sabrina said, " yeah she's my future daughter in law. You know Arnold got a girlfriend." Arnold's dad said," wait, didn't Arnold like Hana from the start?" Aunt Sabrina said," let's go I'll explain everything." She took him to their room.

May said," mom and dad, let's go to our place. I have a lot to tell you." She took her parents and left. Arnold sighed and said," at last everything is back to norm-"
While he was saying this my mom slammed the door open and said," you br*ts how did you know where I hid your parents?"
Arnold said," Aunt Casey, I don't know on what basis you're here but I know something for sure if May sees you here you're dead. So leave when I tell you nicely."

She hysterically laughed and said," so you br*t thought I was using your parents as a shield and threaten you? So can you guess why I'm here and what am I gonna use as a shield this time?"
She took out her phone and said," look at this, I've recorded everything, it shows each of you assassinating people. Countless assassinations, should I turn you all into the police? Oh, I forgot to tell you something, I have a surprise for all of you. When the surprise gets ready, you all are dead."
