Girl In The City

19.| End Game. {Part 1}

As I walked into the living room I found the house completely silent.
Henry was upstairs sleeping and Margaret and Keegan were getting ready for tonight.

The FBI would be accompanying us with this Jake operation but they don't know that our goal is to kill them. If Jake gets arrested, he might snitch on Keegan and everything could go down in flames and that's the last thing we need.

My phone rang in my hand and I checked to ID but it was an unknown number.
I furrowed my eyebrows but answered none the less.

"Lethabile speaking." I answered with professionalism.

"Sedi?" An all too familiar voice sounds from the other line.

"Mma?" My voice cracks a little.

"It is you? Lesedi where have you gone, my child?" My mother's voice is weak and filled with sadness and distress.

"Away from home, away from you." My voice is a little cold and distached.

I will not forget what my parents have done to me. Me being here in all this bullshit was to get away from them and their absurd behavior.

"And you didn't bother to contact me or your father?" She sounds hurt but I'm more hurt than her.

"Mma ke busy.(mom I'm busy.)I don't want to fight right now. I have a lot going on in my life so goodbye mother." I say harshly.

"Wait! I called because your father, wa lwalwa and a re tsive gore o tlo phela. (Your father is ill and we don't know if he'll live.)" She said and a sting fell through my heart.

My parents might have hurt me but deep down I still care and love them.

I sigh exasperatedly. "Mma I have so much going on here. Trust me, all I want to do is come back home and see father but I have much, much more important things to deal with here."

"Mara Lethabile-"

"Mma! What I'm dealing with here is something that is a matter of life or death. I know that papa is in his death bed or something but my life and the people I've come to care for her are also in danger. We'll talk some other time mma. Goodbye." I say and hang up before she can even protest with me further.

I sigh exhausted and run my hand down my face.

I just pray that everything works out well.

I head upstairs and turn on the shower before stripping naked and putting on a shower cap to protect my hair from the water.

I step in the shower and let the warm water cascade my body. The water slaps my back harshly, giving my back a relaxing massage.

I let out a sigh on relaxation and close my eyes for a moment.
I open my eyes and see- Jake?

Jake? Am I seeing things or what?

I let out a scream as I try to cover as much skin as possible with my body.

"Lovely seeing you here." He smirks at me.

"The fuck are doing here? How'd you even get in?" I yell still trying to cover my naked body with my hands.

"That's not important." He shrugs it off. "What's important is how I'm going to kill you."

Keegan's P.O.V

"So...you are going to act as though you're still on his side." Agent Carco explains to Margaret. "You will meet up with him at his house within 10 minutes and you'll leave to his restaurant which is where Keegan will be waiting for him."

"Ok. And Lethabile doesn't get involved right?" I quetion and he nods.

"Ok then, let's get moving. We don't have time to waste." I say and we head out of the building.

As we walk out, Margaret grabs my bicep.
"Hey, uhm. I just wanted to...wanted to apologize...for...for everything." She sighs. "Look Keegan, I know I was a total bitch to you and all that crap and i just wanted to say that I'm sorry."

"It's fine Margaret. I've forgiven you and you're what's right now, so it's fine." I said kindly and she gave me a small nod with a small smile.

We head our separate ways. I head straight to Jake's restaurant to find him there. Letta is currently at home but the house is heavily guarded with dozens of guards. So I'm relaxed knowing that Letta is safe.

When I arrive at Jake's restaurant, I switch off the engine and sigh for a moment.

This is it. It'll all end when he dies.
I tell myself.

I head out of the car and head inside and am let to a private room in the restaurant by the waitress.

"Drinks?" She asks kindly and i shake my head.

She leaves and I sit there for a short while before Margaret walks in wearing a red gown.

"Keegan." She says with venom but I know she's acting the part.

"I'm here for Jake not you. Where is he?" I say and just on cue the doors opens.

Jake walks in with an evil smirk and later two men walk in with someone that has a bag over their head.

"What is the meaning of this?" I cock up an eyebrow and Jake simply smirks.

"Oh nothing much, just a little surprise for you." He says and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

He snaps his fingers and the men remove the bag from the per-

"Lethabile?"
