"Is it ok if I said goodbye to my friends before we leave?" I ask as we walk out of the Police station "Of course, where are they? Still at school?" Joshua asks as we get into the car "No, I got a text from them a few minutes ago saying they're leaving school early because of some family issues." I answer with a white lie, they wouldn't know whether I'm telling the truth or not "Are they the girls you were with 2 days ago? Are they related?" This time Genises asks "Amo and Penny are related, but their Parents. Along woth V's, are close friends and business partners." I answer again, kind of getting tired of answering questions but it's understandable why they're asking me all of these things
"Where to?" The driver asks "Head straight until you see a Bookstor Café on your left and then turn right, when you get to the second traffic light, turn left there and then just go straight until I tell you to stop." I direct the driver making him nod "We have really missed you sthandwa sami." Joshua says shocking me, but I don't express it, instead I mask it woth confusion "What did you call me?" I pretend as if I don't understand him "It is Zulu for 'my love'." He answers "Oh..." I trail off "Stop at the grey house with the jeep parked in front of it." I say and get out of the car as soon as it stops. Finally.
"Please wait out here while I say my goodbyes." I say, walking towards the house and knocking. Ivy answers the door and pulls me inside "What's going on!?" She asks looking stressed "Ivy, relax. Deep breaths, follow me." I say holding her arms and breathing in and out as so follows my movements "good, now I'll make it quick since I don't have much time. I'll explain everything in detail once I get some time to myself." I tell Ivy, Amo and Penelope "So long story short, I have a biological Family, they live in Canada so that means I have to move to Canada and last but DEFINITELY not least, the Diallo's are my bio family." I sum up everything to them making their jaws simultaneously go slack
"No wonder you and the dread head have similar features." Amo says recovering faster then the other two "Can we talk about the fact that you're literally moving to North America? That's like half way across the globe, not really, but still." Penelope exclaimed "we can always move with her, our Parents recently signed a contract with the American Mafia, originally just our Parents were gonna go to set up a base over there, but this is a weird coincidence so..." Ivy finally speaks up trailing off at the end "Also, there us no way we're staying here without you. Whose going to manage you while you're there?" Amo asks and just then there was a nock at the door, ugh.
"I need to go, tell me when you get there. We'll talk about everything once we're settled. I know it's going to take at least a month for you guys to move so i need to guys to carry out the plan for the mafia. I'll call you guys in three days so wr could go over the plan. Is that okay with you guys?" I ask them to which they all give me afirmative nods. after hugging them and walking out the door I was met with Genises outside "Hey, everything ok? You were taking a while." It was Genises "Yes everything is fine, it was just hard for them to believe that I'm moving to Canada. What time is the flight?" I ask "I'm assuming you guys already booked plane tickets seeing as all your luggage are also packed in the car." I say getting into the car "Umm..." Genises sounds making me look at him weirdly "What?" I ask "you'll see." He answers.
An hour later, we're driving through what looks like a private area of the Airport, once we got out, there was a private Jet waiting, ready for take off. This does not surprise "Oh, you have a private jet." I state, more then ask "you're not surprised?" Sabestian finally speaks up since the polic station "uhh, no not really, V's Parents own a private jet as well, and seeing as how you have body guards surrounding you, I guessed that you would be very wealthy." I state with a matter of fact tone.
Once we're seated, the pilot and air hostesses do what they do and we take off. I'm seated at the back one seater that's facing the entire fron row, while Sabestian is sitting in front of me, Genises on my left and Joshua in fron of him "Hello sirs, is there anything I can get for you?" One of the two hostesses come up to our seats. I know she did not just ignore my presence, before anyone could say anything I spoke up "Excuse me, do we have a problem?" I ask, there's been a lot going on lately so getting to take my anger out on this bitch wouldn't hurt, right? "I'm sorry, who are you again?" The air hostess asks with a scowl on her face "If you don't fix your face within the next 15 seconds you will be losing your job, and I don't need to tell you who I am to be acknowledged like any other person on this flight." My voice is void of any emotion, but I'm sure you'd be able to see the anger on my face.
