Jenny was awakened by a phone call in the morning , it was a strange number.They found her, Liyanne had been tracked down by the informants, It took them six days to trace her. Apparently, after she graduated from high school , she left the small-town of Dingo Bay and moved to the city for further studies, she majored in counseling psychology and got a job at the Mental Wellness Centre.Her idyllic life got disrupted when  goons carjacked her at gunpoint while on her way to her residence. She was taken captive in an abandoned warehouse that belonged to Franco. Jenny didn't care about breakfast or anything else, she quickly showered, dressed up and left.

"Where is she?" She angrily asked.

"Good morning to you too, missy" He sarcastically said.

"I'm sorry for that,  please take me to her. I badly want to see her. By the way, it's Jenny not Missy."

"I already know your name, missy is just a word I like using when referring to young females.Anyway, are you not even gonna ask me how we found her?"

" That's not really important, what's important is that you found her.Please just take me to her."

" Alright, wish granted, I hope you don't mind me driving you there"

"Driving me there?, I thought you said that she's with you in this place."

"You misunderstood me, I said that she's in my custody but it's not this place, my boys have taken her captive in my old warehouse.It's an hour drive from here."

" An hour drive?"

" Yes. Today I'm in the mood for a road trip and you seem like the right person to go with. By the way pretty Jenny, have you taken breakfast? "

" Oh my Gosh, Franco just called me pretty. "She mumbled.

" You should really mumble silently, I've heard what you've just said."

" Oh, I'm sorry"

" Are you always this apologetic?, you don't have to say sorry all the time."

" I think we have to go now, we are going to be late. "She said.

" No need to rush, let's go have breakfast first and then we hit the road. I know a great place where we can eat some nice food. Don't worry, it's on me. "

Franco admired Jenny, she was young and pretty. When they first met, six days back, it was love at first sight, both of them were attracted to each other, he liked younger ladies, she liked older fellas. They seemed to be the perfect match, Franco had a charming side and a malicious side too, when he was around Jenny he only showed her his good side, he didn't want her to get a bad impression of  him.They went outside and hopped in his  black Aston Martin 715-horsepower V12 DBS Superleggera.

"This is the place, we are finally here."He said while smiling at her.

The one hour drive seemed as if it was an endless ride, Jenny felt awkward sitting next to him in the car, her belly was loudly growling  throughout the trip until they made a stop at an expensive eatery,  she didn't know what to say , she just sat there  looking at his handsome face and laughing at his terrible jokes, the only thing she said was "Thank you for the heavy breakfast."

Sparks were flying between them, they had some sort of connection , it was as if they knew each other for a long time and yet it was barely a week since they first met.

Liyanne had been blindfolded and chained to the wall, she was really spooked, Franco's goons didn't torture her, they just threatened her that if she won't stop shouting  then they would kill her. Franco ordered his goons to remove the blindfold from her, she opened her eyes only to see unfamiliar faces. Jenny was finally meeting her face-to-face, she looked at her with so much hatred and anger.

"Please let me go, I can pay you any amount of money, just let me go" She said in a sorrowful tone.

" Money has nothing to do with this." Jenny said.

"I don't know you. What do you want from me?, I haven't wronged you, please let me go"

" What happened toJeremy Gona?."

Liyanne paused for a moment. The entire place was silent, she didn't know what to say, she looked confused.

"Answer me . What happened to Jeremy?, Who killed him?, Who is responsible for his dissapearance and death?"She angrily asked.

" Jeremy?,  I don't know him"She enunciated

"Don't play games with me. Answer the damn questions."She aggressively said.

" you need to calm down, take it easy" Franco whispered.

" I need some minutes to talk to her alone, woman to woman, Is that okay?"She said in a  low tone.

" Sure thing. Boys, let's give them  some space"He said.

" Liyanne Njeri, tell me what happened to him. What happened on September 7th?, the two of you were supposed to meet, Did you kill him?"

" I'm not the one who did it"

" If you are not the one then who did it ?"

" I don't know."

" Okay, let's do this the hard way. If you won't talk then they'll make you talk, you will be tortured"

" No, please don't do it, I know who did it."

" Cut the bullcrap and just tell me"Jenny aggressively remarked.

" They did it, they killed him"Said Liyanne.

" Who are they?"Asked Jenny.

"My old highschool friends."Liyanne enunciated.

"How did they kill him?"Jenny questioned.

She kept quiet and was thinking of an appropriate answer, perhaps constructing a lie.

"I'm loosing my patience, answer me you wimp" Said Jenny.

" They, they buried him alive"Liyanne nervously said

Jenny was enraged by her answer, she couldn't control her emotions, she refrained herself from sobbing in Liyanne's presence and angrily walked out  to open a floodgate of tears.Franco got concerned and went closer to her, she instantly leaned forward and embraced him as she bursted into tears.

" I can't believe they did that to him"  She uttered.

"Hush, don't cry. It's going to be okay." He assured her.

" Those blockheads are going to pay for what  they did.They will surely die" She articulated.
