Second Chance

A Nice Stranger

The next day,

Sylvia was discharged from the hospital. She looked healthy and much more beautiful.

"So where are we going?"

"To my house"

"Don't you think I'm going to be a burden"

"Of course not!"

"Does that mean we're friends"

"We're friends before you said it"

"Let get going I can't wait to show you my house"

"I'm looking forward to see it"

The both ladies said as they walked towards the white Porsche parked at the other side unaware of the men that lurked behind the trees.

"Boss! They are leaving the hospital!"
The man who seemed to be their leader called Grandpa Robert.

"What are you waiting for! Get her!"

"Eliza is around her and Carlos men are watching us!"

"Are you afraid? Don't come back empty-handed if you are not willing to die" His voice sound a little hoarse after smoking and drinking alcohol.

"O-Okay Boss! We haven't heard anything from Jason"

"It seems like Carlos won't spare him"

"I think so!"

"It is his luck for being unlucky!" Grandpa Robert said as he laughed like nothing had happened not giving a tinge of pity.

The man who called Grandpa Robert thought that he was evil. He didn't even care about Jason, his assistant who had been with him since the day he created his gang.
The man wondered if he had died like that, Grandpa Robert won't care about him like he did to his assistant.

Eliza drove the car while Sylvia sat at the back seat. They were busy predicting the gender of the children when Eliza noticed a black car driving behind them closely.

She smiled coldly after realizing that it was Grandpa Robert men.

There was traffic, so it was difficult to catch up with them.

The cars kept moving slowly as Eliza looked for a way to distract them.
Then she saw a car that was the same with hers.

"Is someone following us?"

"Yes but don't worry, just some stray dogs we need to take care of"

"Okay"

The way got free as the vehicles on the road had chance to speed. Eliza quickly took chance and exchanged places with the other similar car. It was illegal to drive that way.

When the police found out about it, they attempted to arrest but realizing who it was, they stopped in their tracks and left them.

------

In the Red Zone, a man heavily breathe like he would die anytime soon. He was chained down. The floor was cold as the cell was dark.
His face was bloodied and bruised. Apart from that his left ear had been cut off.

"What do you want from me?" The man yelled despite all the injuries.

"You still have the cheek to talk?" Bernard yelled punching him in the mouth.

"I won't say anything even if you kill me! I would keep my mouth shut"

Angrily, Bernard kept punching him again and again till a teeth flew out. The man who was Jason groaned in agony.

"Let him be!" A cold voice rang.

"He is too stubborn!"

"I know what to do"

Sitting in front of him, Carlos picked up a knife and smiled coldly. Then he stared at him as a murderous look flashed his eyes.

"It is better you kill me now because don't expect anything from me"

"Tsk Tsk what a loyal servant but a treacherous master"

"What do you mean? I've been with him for years, he can't dump me like that!" The man managed to say.

"If you are so sure then why hasn't he come to save you like a good shepherd that saves his sheep from the hands of the wolves"

"You are lying, he probably has but you didn't tell me"

"Tsk Tsk you are too loyal, you probably have forgotten who Robert Rodriguez is?"

The man kept quiet as some things began to make sense to him.

"Whatever! You had promised not to talk but there are other ways you can break your promise"

Jason shivered in fear looking at the sharp tool in front of him.

"Just kill me!" Jason yelled in frustration.

"Um sorry, I'm not Robert who kills without battling an eyelid" he said calmly and coldly giving a dark vibes.

"Guess I would have to play doctor on you"

"D-Don't come near me"

"Sorry but it's too late to beg, you came into my territory and killed some of my subordinates, Robert was just lucky he escaped, if not I would have redesigned his baldhead"

Jason shivered hearing his bloody words. He was frightened to death. He believed that the rumors about Carlos was true. He never once believed he would become his victim.

Placing a knife on his forehead, Carlos slowly pressed it as the sharp knife gradually sink into his skin causing a free flow of blood.

"Ahhh!"

"Will you speak"

"Yes! Yes! I would"

"You're lucky if not I would have plucked your eyes out of your sockets"

"Grandpa Robert is lusting after Sylvia and he is planning to kidnap her"

"Is that all?"

"Grandpa Robert and your grandfather are allies they both want you dead"

"What?"

----

Sylvia and Eliza had reached home.
They had escaped from Grandpa Robert's men.

"Are you sure they can't find us?"

"Of course not! We are saved here! Not even a fly can enter here without permission"

"Okay anything you say" Sylvia said.

"Home we come!" Eliza said as they drove into the compound.

"Wow! Your house is really big"

"It is not just my house, it is our house"

"Thanks Eliza!"

"Don't bother beside what are friends for?"

Two maids quickly came.

"You are welcome Madam!"
Sylvia was not used to this kind of treatment, she could only smile at them.

"Arrange her room because she would be living with us from now!"



They walked in as Sylvia gasped in surprise, The Chavez's house was not as big as this. She thought Eliza must be really rich.

She wondered why she was being nice to her. It was too sudden.
Before, she had thought she would end up her life like a beggar but things was changed she was now living in a mansion.
Maybe her night with Carlos made her life different.
