six hours

24: Seek

I woke up tired, not only from the long drive but from my life, reality and the truth, as I sat up in my bed, looking through the window and thinking of what to do, Maman imelda opened the door, walked next to my bed placed a cup of organic green tea and smiled, " you are welcomed to stay in bed till the time you have enough strength" she said as she kiss my forehead and left.

Laziness was not my middle name but I was wasted, I could not even think properly, I took my phone from the bed site and noticed that I had Fifty miss calls from the supervisor, a text of apology from Florence and nothing from Jack, I guess when he said he is going to look for something else to entertain him, he ment it.

I decided to hear what the supervisor wanted from me, so I called him, " morning sir, I saw your miss calls" I said as I took a sip of my tea, " keep your morning to yourself and tell me why you walked away from the CEO's office?, why you took Sophia's money?, Why you set the office on fire? And why are you calling me instead of being at the office and sort out your mistakes" he responded with anger in his voice.

But wait, the office was on fire?, I only burned the money," sir, I don't work on Saturdays and I only burned the money " I said to him, " great, you admitted to your crime, I was up all night with the fire brigade and the CEO's trying to put out the fire you started, I must tell you that there is a criminal charged against you, you need to report to the office now or else your call" he said calmly while trying to show me that whatever happens to me, he will be happy.

" Sir, I-" " don't sir me, just to tell you again, you are in deep hot water, get your ass here right now!!" He said as He interrupted me and disconnected the call.

It was to early for this drama, I know he wants me back at the office to pick up my boxes and pay that snake of Sophia her money, which I will, but not now, Monday maybe, I then texted Florence,

Me: apology accepted friend.
Florence: omg!!, Where r u, I was looking for u, I wanted to apologize personally.
Me: it ok, I'm very far now but I will be back, n don't apologise 'cause it okay 🙃.
Florence: tx friend, btw do you know what is happening here, the company u work for was on fire 🔥.
Me: yah, I know, my supervisor was shouting but I don't believe him.
Florence: u should friend.
Me: maybe, tell me have u seen or heard about Jack?.
Florence: nop, but I will look around.
Me: ok tx friend 😉🤗.
Florence: it okay 😘.

Now I was sure that it was a global conspiracy to get me to the office, I placed my phone down, finish my tea and fell asleep.

I woke up to the smell of roasted chicken and potatoes, the smell was amazing that I jumped out of my bed, quickly took a shower, threw on a pair of ripped jeans and vest , combed my hair in a ponytail and rushed downstairs.

" I told you she will wake up" Maman imelda said as I entered the kitchen, hugged good morning Papa Hector and sat opposite him, " oui ma chérie, she loves potatoes very much that it can be used as an alarm to wake her up" Papa Hector sais as the kitchen busted with laughter,  as we ate dinner, papa Hector kept on making funny jokes.

I realised something again that this small kitchen was Heaven and these people were my family but now I remembered my other family and I did not know how to tell Papa Hector and Maman imelda about it.

" What are you thinking about my dear?" Maman imelda said as I placed the plates in the sink, " I was thinking about you two, why don't you go and relax with tea and I will do the dishes" I said as I gave her a big smile, she hugged me and walked away.

I decided to do the dishes before I relax, while doing the dishes, I looked through the window and I saw three BMW driving in a seri coming toward Papa Hector and Maman imelda house, it stopped and out come six men dressed in black with shades, after that come one man dressed in normal suit pants and a shirt, I recognised him, it was Roberto Cavalli.

After he was out, from the middle car come out two men, one was dressed in a golf  shirt, suit and suit pants, I knew him, it was Cris and the other, who was dressed in turtle-neck, suit pants and suit, it was Edward, all men were dressed as if they come for a funeral, black cars, black clothes and black shades.

As they approached the house, panic quickly took over me, I had to think quickly, I had to get out of the house at any cost, but I could not use the door, it will be easier for them to see me, my only option was the small kitchen window.

So I did what was right, I managed to fit through the window and in seconds I was out even though I have a couple of bruise on my body, the minute I landed outside, I heard the door bell ring, and next someone opened the door.

This was the time for me to leave, I could not use the car because it will make noise, infact I left the keys inside my room, I looked around for my options and sported a bicycle that belongs to Mrs James, the wheels in my head stopped and I knew what to do.

I took the bicycle and left, there was about twenty minutes for me to get to the main road, I had to first ride on the dirt road and then reach the main road, it was easy when I was driving because it took me only ten minutes but this time it different, I was riding a bicycle and it took me twenty minutes.

By the time I reached the main road I looked like I was coming back from my grave, my hair looked like it had an electric shock, I was sweating and I was dirty from head to toe, I was out of breath and tired.

I throw the bicycle in same long grass and decided to catch a ride home but no one was stopping, I guess I looked terrible that they thought I was a ghost, then it hit me, I Had my phone, so I removed it and called a taxi, it took about ten minutes for the taxi to get to me and the minute the taxi driver saw me, he shouted "Fantôme!!!" And he speed off without taking me.

I guess i looked like a ghost, I had no choice but to walk to the city, crazy idea, but I had to, probably it will take me two days.

As I walked along the road, a fish truck stopped and the driver said, " ma petite dame, où aller vous ?" As he looked at me with pity but soon found my condition amusing, " la ville" I answered as I kept on walking, " okay, come in, I will take you" he said as he opened the door, now I know that stranger danger but I had no choice.

The driver was a chatter box but he was good and I was happy that I got a ride.
