Deep Connections: Shanakay's Story

Chapter 13

Shanakay had decided that she'd go home to her mother but she would continue to see David. She had packed her clothes and told David she was leaving to go back home when suddenly he grabbed her hand and dragged her back up to the room and threw her inside. He locked the door and she heard him go downstairs. She was so puzzled that tears began to race from her eyes in puddles. She just couldn't understand until she heard him arguing with his bodyguard downstairs.

"How could you be so stupid to let them past security, are you fucking crazy? Did you think I wouldn't find out?" She heard David say.

She could hear the man mumbling something, "I'm sorry boss... but we almost got them."

"Almost isn't good enough! You had better take care of those bitches!"

She was glued to the floor in shock. Was he talking about Khadeen and Melissa? Could they be looking for her? She was left in wonder and yet she couldn't understand. She couldn't stay any longer, she had to leave, her friend's lives were in danger and she had to help them so she got a plan.

Okay so it wasn't much of a plan but she had to get out. She decided that she'd knock out the bodyguard and get past David. She searched around the room but couldn't find a weapon so she decided she'd just surprise him. She hid behind the door as she heard someone pulling the door. She didn't see who it was but she jumped on the person. When it turned out to be David she was so shocked but before she could react he grabbed her neck and stabbed her. Somehow she knew he didn't know it was her. She looked into his eyes as tears ran down her cheeks and she slowly fell to the cold floor. She saw the shock in his eyes when he realized what he had done. He fell down beside her with tears in his eyes and tried to speak to her,

"Shanakay plea... please don't leave me. I.... I'm sorry." He screamed to his bodyguard to get the car. "Shan please hold on, don't die on me."

With tears in her eyes she asked God for forgiveness for all her sins, she thought about her mother and her sisters and what life without her would be like. She then tried to hold on but she could feel death taking her over and finally she was gone. David screamed as he looked at her then realized how he was to explain her death. He kissed her cherry lips and closed her eyes. He was filled with anger and all sorts of mixed emotions. What was he to do now?

Melissa screamed "Nooo!" as she had awoken with a strange feeling in her stomach. Her face was washed with sweat so she got out of bed and walked downstairs to get a glass of water. Miss Mac came running and looked at Melissa with worried eyes,

"Madam what's wrong? You look shaken."

"I just had a bad dream that's all," replied Melissa.

She took up her phone and text Khadeen and she replied. She seemed a bit startled too by her reply,

"Melissa I don't feel well. It feels like a piece of me is gone."

Melissa sighed and replied,"I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. I think we should go back and check on Shanakay."

"But Melissa remember that we were threatened and I don't want to risk anything."

"Shanakay is worth the risk!"

So they decided to go and check out the place. They arrived approximately 7 pm and jumped the gate. Khadeen picked the lock and they went inside. All the security was down surprisingly but they paid no attention to it. They could protect themselves. They walked up the stairs slowly and pushed open a room door and saw Shanakay's lifeless body lay well dressed as if ready to be placed in a coffin. They saw David beside her and he spoke softly,

"It was an accident, you know, her dying. I guess I was too upset with the fact that you two found us and I don't know what came over me but when she attacked me something just went off and I stabbed her. I'm so sorry."

He started crying again. Khadeen sort of felt sorry for him but something went loose in Melissa and fire raged in her eyes when it finally settled in that her friend was dead. She grabbed a gun from her purse and fired 3 shots, BAM, BAM, BAM....
