Nkosi laughed shaking his head while Alex was just puzzled as Nadia stood up and continued to rap " engine engine number 9..." Nadia looked at
Gail: come on Ozy "

Austin laughed and cleared his through " On The New York Transit Line,

But Then Why,
Cause You Can't Intervene.

We're Sliding Through It Swiftly...Niftly, "

Nkosi: what?"
Austin: Black sheep - This or That "
Alex: what ?'
Austin laughed " underground hip hop group had killer beats and rhymes back in the 90's"
Gail: this was one of his favorite song he knew all the lyrics in the song "
Nkosi: you never told me anything about your hidden talent "
Austin side smile "I'm a man of many talents"
Nkosi: mmm definitely "
Gail and Nadia laughed, while Alex looked at him puzzled

"hold up what just happened?..you can rap?"
Austin: just a hobby I took on while growing up are you coming?"

Nkosi smile he did not know this side of Austin the fun side maybe it was a good thing, after all, coming to his home town,

Alex laughed and stood up and followed him while Nkosi and the sister laughed and continued to chatter
Alex: so out of all the careers you could have picked you wanted to be a rapper as in hip-hop artists?"
Austin: I was good at it, trust me I still am "
They bust out and laughed and continued to wash the dishes,

Gail did well by breaking the ice and having this mini brunch  for the family it was actually a destruction in facing what to come,  the clock was slowly approaching what the brothers  hated to face their mother memorial service so they decided to make the most of it by laughing and ignoring the fact that their mother is soon to be buried

" Why haven't I meet Gail and Nadia husband's, " Austin asked more like fishing
Alex: Dad always said you the best lawyer there is in South Africa working for a big firm, I think you know exactly why you have not met them you just want to know how I feel about it ?"

Austin side looked at him and handed him a plate
Austin: I see "
Alex: mom always said you will know what to do when the time is right ..."

Austin looked at Alex and smile, he was too grown-up for his age, hardly spoke but when he opened his mouth every one listened this was something that their father instilled in them, never open your mouth just to let out hot air think before you make a statement

Austin: you miss her ?"
he bites his lip and nodded, he was about to go into detail when suddenly the air in the room change,
Austin: hey are you ok?" Austin dropped the plate in the water and held Alex's shoulder

Alex suddenly heard whispering in his ear his whole body started shivering his left shoulder started burning, his hand made its way to his pocket he held on the crystal and he saw the red eyes looking at him

Alex: someone is at the door don't let him in !"
Austin looked at him not sure what to make of this, he was sweating his eyes were rapidly blinking

In the other room, there was a knock on the door Gail stood up to answer it her smile slowly faded as Man dressed as a Priest stood in front of her

Alex's heart started jumping in his chest causing him chest pain and short breath he started pushing  Austin while he was holding his chest
" don't let him in ...go Austin!!!"

Not sure what going on he let go of him and rushed to the living room he saw some guy standing by the door there was something dark about him that caller he has on did not serve him no justice
Gail:  I'm sorry but wasn't Father Adams suppose to handle my mother memorial ?"

Austin wiped his hands with a cloth stepping towards the door
Silas locked eyes with Austin,
" shit"
Silas cursed silently while still wearing a smile on his face
Austin: I believe the lady ask you a question"
Silas: I was sent by the church here to come to report the tragic death of Father Adams and also to offer my services? may I please come in ?"
Austin: And you are? "
" I'm father  Samael...Silas Samaels...may I come in?"

Gail looked at Austin, Alex cried in the kitchen Nkosi and Nadia rushed to him, he ripped off his shirt as his tattoo started burning and shifting
Alex: don't let him in !!!"
Nadia: ooh my God what wrong with him ?"
Nkosi: let me get a towel "

On the other room, Austin looked at Silas dead in the eyes,
Silas: Is everything ok maybe I can help ...please if you can just welcome me in"

Austin frowned,  this guy once nothing more than to come inside the house he has been saying it in every sentence, he than remembered how Alex screamed that he must not step inside the house

" if the church sent you here they would have told you where the memorial service is held don't fuck with us!! "
Silas smiled looking at Austin, Austin Got so annoyed that he slammed the door on his face
Gail: Ozy what did you do that for?"
He ignores her, and rushed to the kitchen, Gail opened the door and ran after Silas

" Please forgive my brother is a bit of a hothead,  "
Silas: it's ok my child I saw right through him "
Gail: the memorial service will be held at the town hall..."
Silas turned his head looking a the car approaching there was something about that car that got his blood boiling
Gail stopped talking  as he looked at him all distracted as he looked ahead to some cars approaching
Gail: father are you ok?"

Silas popped his eyes open as he realized who is behind the wheel, it can't be what on earth is he doing here? if he finds him here he will roast him on top of it he was not alone there was a divine spirit in the same car

Silas: shit !"
He stepped back, Gail frowned  " excuse me?!"
He smiled " I'm sorry about that but I have to go..."
Gail: but ... I haven't..." She did not finish her sentence as Silas rushed to his car and speed of Gail was left with a dumbfounded face.

The most expensive car packed on her gate Gail raised her eyebrow and folded her arms wondering who could these people be.
Mvelo and Nkozo stepped out first on the first car followed by the whole crew behind them on the other cars.
