Chapter 34
Lamais's pov
It was a long trek through the bushes to get to where the fisherman Christopher lives, his woman tells him that the men had came but she and the children and tied the tarporlin as tight as she could and stayed quiet until after they left. My phone begins to ring and I give to Shanty to answer as I help the woman to pack up the little they had, because she tells him that the men said they will be circling back.
We hasted away with Cushane in the back of my jeep and all of Christopher's possessions that could hold with his woman and two children. I call inspector Gregory and gave him a quick run down of what had happen putting and taking out some of the details to ensure our safety as well as the fisherman and his family.
I was glad he was on duty and came straight away to the Savana-la-mar hospital, it was late when we finally learn that he was stable and we leave. I ask Minister Kirkland to drop Shanty and her children home after they finish unpacking the van, from what was left from dinner that evening I fix and give to Christopher and his family.
After thanking the Ministers as they leave for their homes, I then went and made up the beds in the two bedrooms downstairs and tell the tired kind hearted fisherman and his family that they are welcome into my home and they should rest in the rooms. Then I tidy up the kitchen and climb the stairs to my room tiredly, I close and lock my room door before showering and going to bed with my gun nearby.
As I walk down the stairs with a purpose, I listened to the news being aired. Christopher jumped up from the couch and tells me a quiet, "good morning ma'am."
"Morning my brother," I greet him in turn and stood looking at the television as we watch the rest of the news.
So that's where inspector Gregory went off to last night, I said in my mind before telling Christopher. "I live alone here, you and your family are welcome to stay until things cool down and you get somewhere appropriate to live, make yourself comfortable down here however I'm going to ask you not to go upstairs. I am an unmarried woman and as a bishop there are certain principles I live by."
"Yea mon, I understand, no problem and thank you so so much," he said.
"And thank you too, you have save a life. May the hand of the creator never leave form off of you and may you never be in need of any good thing," I tell him calmly.
My eyes filled with tears as I look at him, he was beaten down by stress yet still remains humble. "I am going to make breakfast," I tell him and walk off into the kitchen.
He followed me and went out through the back door, Shanty came with her children while I was cooking and and after greeting me I hear her telling the younger children to stay out on the verandah and be extremely quiet. She then went about doing her duties and it is then I saw that Christopher was no longer fidgeting with his net out back, but was now assisting Kemar with the sweeping and weeding of the front yard.
They were in deep conversation when I went to tell him that the breakfast is ready. "My children have breakfast already ma'am," Shanty says coming inside the kitchen.
I smile shrewdly and share one big plate for them all, they are children and they are use to eating at my table. I know she is being considerate but most morning both her and them still ate breakfast here even though they had their's before coming here. For the first time my dining table is fully seated at and I felt like I was eating with my family.
