The Flu

Chapter 10

Officer Smiths didn't want to get dragged into what Nana was doing but at the end of the night, he had decided to show up or the old lady wouldn't stop being stubborn. It was 1 a. M in the morning. Luckily he had been on duty that night. He parked his car and sat there a few minutes to decide whether what he was doing was worth it. Thats when he saw him, scanning through the door code machine and looking around suspiciously.

"Madam Nana, are you home?" he called.

"Yes Smith, come up i can see you."

He told her about someome being at her door and looking suspicious and instantly a net trap dropped on him. Smith quickly left the car to attend to the situation.

Twenty minutes later the guy had not talked and when he did, he asked for Epy. Nana couldn't give him a chance, she really tortured the kid scaring him off.

"I dont think you will last long enough to see him. Better start speaking!" she said in such a soothing way.

It wasn't soothing in anyway the more she kept talking the more the kid cried.

"Its a waste of time. Just shoot him Smith and come upstairs." she told him and started to walk away.

"Wait, i was paid to still his work. It wasn't at his hospital so i was told to check it here or have my hands choped i am just a hacker i swear. I know nothing else!"

Nana stood there smiling wickedly at the kid.

"So what happens once you get the documents ? Which i presume they are in his laptop thats why they needed you as a hacker"  she said walking around.

She had had many years of what she was doing now and knew the process too well. The kid looked pale now after alot of bleeding from officer smith's beating.

Nana walked up stairs and checked on an old laptop she had been using. It was similar color Epy's and so it was convincing on the outside. It contained family photos and videos of the 3. She inserted a flash disk, copied them to it and put in another drive. She realized she needed medical information in it and had no otherwise other than to wake Epy.

Epy slowly loosened from Nella's tight grip and rolled over the bed and followed Nana.

"What if you found us naked in the middle of something!" he sounded grumpy.

"I don't care. This is as important as your life than some scandalous sex. Someone wants your research laptop. I need information to convince them the laptop am to use as bait is actually yours."

Epy was still sleepy and only heard her in bits. He only grumble a yes and followed her then stopped.

" Torture cube Nana! " he was now fully awake.

" Have i been talking to myself? Where is your research laptop. I need your research, mostly the one that looks real. Like bait." she shook him.

"What happened here Nana!" he went looking around the kid. He already was into a first aid act.

"Stop! This kid here was sent to get the laptop. As you can see we did a little of teasing on him he will be fine. He will know how to explain his swollen face. Wont you kid?" Nana asked.

"Yes i will. Please let me be there by 4 a. M. Otherwise they will kill me if they suspect anything. Thank you for the smack face anyway!" the kid talked out now. He wanted his freedom.

Epy copied some of his files still sleepy to the laptop. He then encrypted them all with passwords to give him time to blick the information he was sharing. Besides being a Gyna and surgeon in training, he also was a computer geek. Something she got from Nana's enthusiasm to have a geek for her baby. Luckly Epy had been interested in learning it and naturally adjusted to it.

"I hope none of the research is really resourceful." Nana warned him.

"None is, am not that stupid! Here, have it and tell those mfs to keep off my family! " he said slamming it down.

"Hey! I don't know them. All i know is they send me. Last time my friend got killed in such a thing. I wont say a word to them. I am not stupid!" The kid shouted.

Nana help Epy a midist a fist.

"This aint your work!" she warned him, "Go warm up your bed." she winked at him.

He couldn't go back to sleep after so much furry. He just sat down at the stairs.

They told the kid to come up with a good excuse for the beating and let him go jumping from a window. That way anyone watching him wouldn't notice something fishy.

Just minutes away from two houses down the estate, gun shots were heard. Two of them. Officer Smith ran out around the corner only to find the kid dead and the laptop gone. A black sedan was heading North of the town. He could in back up and chased after them.

"Great Jesus Nana!" Epy swore.

"What! I didn't do it. They did. See how easily they can get away with anything!" Nana shoulders dropped.

"whats happening!!" Nella was at the door all sleepy.

"Cherry!" he hugged her closely.

" Someone's dead! Whose that!" Nella was shaking.

"Lets go inside! Its not our scene to check out. He isn't dead on our lane" Nana warned.

They got back each taking a mug of hot milk to try sedate for sleep but it didn't work. At the end of it all, they had to tell it all to Nella whose eyes seemed to be popping out.

"I need to call my dad." was all she said.

"No you can't. We don't have to create suspicion on our end. You call him in the morning. I will ask someone to check him out in the moment. How about your ex boyfriend or is it boyfriend?"  Nana was at it.

"Nana really??" Epy asked her.

" What! I don't even understand what both of you are. There is trouble in our lives again since you met her. Or it doesn't bother you? Did you tell her you have never gotten sick all your life  besides the flu and you literally had no vaccinations? Have you told her how quickly you heal after a cut or she is just dating a stranger? "

Epy's head dropped. He had not told her anything. She got upset and left for the bedroom and locked herself in.
