"No way, congratulations on your pregnancy!"
Sheena called this morning to tell me about the good news. Shane and her were planning to have a child a year ago and finally their dreams were about to come true. "Thank you, Brooke. You were the first person I told since my parents aren't on the phone.", she replied.

Being the first person to be able to hear a best friend's piece of good news was an honour. I was happy for her and husband as she continued telling me about her maternity plans and how she wanted me to be the godmother of the child which I accepted. After talking about family, Sheena again questioned me about my sudden mood change.

"You heard my plan, Brooke. Now let me ask you why are you so so happy? Did you met someone who is now part of your life?" Before even trying to explain, she screamed in delight. "Hah, I knew it, bitch. Now tell me who is this lucky fellow?"

I was about to tell Sheena about the incident in the elevator, how I managed to help Charlie and many other shits that happened for the past weeks. However, I decided maybe I shall tell her when the time comes. So we ended the conversation and I decided to pick up my newly bought book, A Night In With Audrey Hepburn. I heard about the book through Amazon and I thought why not grab a copy and judge the story itself.

Hours have gone by so quickly, I was on Chapter 9 when I heard a sound occurred in my house. This time, I told myself never to repeat the same mistake I made when Charlie entered my house. I silently walked out of my bedroom and saw the main entrance door was opened. I was indeed shocked, the door was opened by force and I knew definitely something was wrong.

I do not believe a gentleman like Charlie would ever enter a house violently. I knew I was in deep trouble. I was about to grab a kitchen knife when a heavy bulky hands were placed over my mouth. It hit me, the person (assumed man) was using chloroform to prevent me from screaming. With all my strength as I struggled to break free, I was unfortunately overpowered.

Soon I found myself feeling lifeless as my eyes slowly started to close, leaving me being clueless what was really happening.

I was probably having my slumber when a sudden bucket of cold water was splashed onto me. I was awakened to find out I was sitting on a wooden chair, surrounded by the dark forces. I was in a warehouse, dimly lit environment and by the look of it, I was definitely far away from the city, probably in the middle of nowhere.

"How's your sleep?", said a voice which has already got me with goosebumps over my body. I focused and saw a man approaching me, walking with grace like he was from Kingsman: The Secret Service. Well, not really Kingsman-ish enough. "I hope you enjoyed what you see in here, Brooke.", he said.

"Yes, I enjoyed what I see in here. So bright and so beautiful.", I sarcastically replied. "Who the fudge are you?", I looked up at his face. Before even letting him say anything, I continued, "I assumed you are Charlie's partner." I analysed his face and to be honest, this man looked charming. He had dirty blonde hair, adding a final touch with a cap and weird coloured hoodie. (Okay, that reminded me of Eggsy from Kingsman)

"Well it seems Charlie trusted you eh", the man gave a nasty smile. "Indeed, I WAS his partner and Collin was the name. You see Charlie don't see eye to eye with me on the business", Collin was served with a tea in his hands. "Illegal drugs you mean, planting in every alcohols you guys bloody made profits in?", I questioned.

Collin was rather fond of me as he looked up to down. All he did was continued sipping his tea. "You see every businessman's goal is to always make huge money. I presumedly think you agree with this statement.", I nodded what he said. "So I did what every businessman would do, buy those finest Denmark bottles, the ones you can't take your eyes off. Even Mona Lisa can't be compared to those babies."

While Collin continued blabbering about his fortunes and the alcohols' dirty money he made, his assistant came to him and passed him the finest Denmark bottle. The moment I saw the bottle, I kind of agreed with him. The bottle was made of real gold, shaped like a brave lion and its strong aura was screaming. "Isn't the bottle attractive?", said Collin who gave me a wink (urgh). "It not only comes with attractive design, here's even better!"

The assistant came back with a bloodied man and a tiny bag. He left the bloodied man on the ground and passed the tiny bag to Collin. Collin proceeded to open up the bottle and poured some content from the tiny bag, followed by passing the bottle to his assistant. "Feast your eyes to this enchanting performance made by my pal here, Brooke.", he said.

The assistant soon pulled the bloodied man up and forced him to drink the whole bottle. As soon as the bottle was drank finished, everything was like a stunt pulled out by The Joker. The man proceeded to laugh and cry uncontrollably, followed by his eyes starting to popped out with blood oozing onto the group. He then tried hard to tear his skin with superhuman strength. The man continued with that hysterical laughing, crying and other maniac actions until he died with a smile on his face.

"What bloody terror is that?", I exclaimed with horror. I just could not believe what I saw. Collin laughed, "That was one of the best shows I have ever watched, do you enjoyed it?" I continued staring at the lifeless body as I could not comprehend what I fudging saw.

As I continued staring at the lifeless body and Collin being such a psychopath, I knew I was in a nightmare. I was Alice in the Wonderland, attending a tea party or maybe even worst, I was one of the audience looking at a freak show...

Hi everyone, I bet you didn't see this coming. So now you have a rough idea why Charlie burned the drugs away. I have no idea what came to me when I wrote the consequence of taking the alcohol, haha. Looking forward to writing more chapters!

P.S. If you are wondering why there are Kingsman references in this chapter, well I just borrowed and watched the film itself. I can tell you it was bloody brilliant and I would like to welcome Taron Egerton as part of my list of awesomeness. :)
