A red bus drives into Mr Greg's compound stopped and the front door flung open an old Chinese man average in height steps down and walk gracefully towards the house followed by two young women carrying food stuff and drinks.
Mr Greg showed them the way to the kitchen, it took them an hour to wash and clean the kitchen then moved everything in the car into the kitchen.
Mr Greg walks into the kitchen.
"Need some help there?" He asked.
"No!" Chorus everyone
Mr Greg laughs
"If you need anything don't hesitate to ask." Said Mr Greg as he turned to leave the kitchen.
Two hours later the table was set Dave arrived meeting Richie outside waiting in the dark.
"What are you doing here, Richie?" Dave asked.
"You know why I'm here, Dave."
"I will allow you for tonight, just tonight." Not a single word from you." Dave said
"I promise." Richie answered walking towards the house.
Mr Greg was surprised to see Richie, Anabel welcome them both warmly focusing all her attention on Dave. Richie ate quietly and did all his best to impress Mr Greg at the table as promised. It was a lovely night.
Dave and Richie left immediately after the dinner, few minutes later a loud noise was heard from outside. Mr Greg rushed to the window he saw a pretty teenage girl stood between Richie and Dave. She hit Dave across his face, while Richie tried to stop her. She let out a loud noise cursing beneath her breath.
Richie steps angrily into his car and drove off.
"Stop it this moment Sharon!" Dave scolded her as she struggled to her feet.
"You'll regret this i swear!" Cried Sharon.
Dave left leaving her in the dark.
Mr Greg and Anabel took her in.
"Everything's gonna be alright, child."
Anabel showed Sharon the way to her room, Sharon lit a cigarette and turned to look at Anabel.
"I love him." She cried as she gulp down a drink from the bottle of wine.
"He used me and dumped me for you, Anabel."
Anabel was shocked to hear that. she didn't know who this girl was, who would have do this to an innocent pretty girl.
"I love him! Please let me have him." Sharon begged in tears.
"He is yours, sweety. Now go to sleep, we'll talk about it in the morning." Anabel whispers gently.
In the middle of the night, Mr Greg woke up looking terrified he looked around as the whole room was filled with smoke. He rushed out shouting.
"Anabel!" Shouts Mr Greg.
"Anabel!" He approached her door in great fear.
Mr Greg breaks down the door to her room he carried Sharon while Anabel rushed behind searching for way of escape.
Mr Greg finally made his way through the back door.
