Lannon was driving on high speed cause he was so angry at that moment. He was bitter, he was devasted, he was in complete shatter. He was going back to the mansion to get his things, to prepare down because he was going to kill a lot of people. There was no longer, uncle Mascow to chide him again. It was him, only him against the world.

Lila woke up to water being poured on her. She froze, as the water drenched her hair and soaked her cloth. When she looked up, it was Rodger that poured her the water. Somehow, she directed her mouth to it, so she could, drink the water since she was dehydrated and really thirsty.
Her hands and legs were tied again. Only her mouth they left this time. Once the water stopped pouring on her, she let down her face, breathing hard as Rodger crouched and raised her chin.
“Good morning, miss Lila”he smirked.
She finally realised it was morning. How did it get to morning so quickly? She scanned where they were and it looked like warehouse that had been deserted for long time.
“Please let me go Rodger”she begged as she remembered her mum, Sam, and even Lannon. They must be dead worried about her. “Please. You have nothing against me”she begged.
“No. I don’t.”He smirked “but I do have something against your lover”
She twitched her brows, was he talking about Lannon?
“You mean Lannon?”she asked.
“Who else Lila?”he slapped her for asking such a stupid question and maybe to set her brain to reset mode.
A tear slipped down her cheek as her hair scattered all over her face due to the slap”I’m sorry. Please”she begged, crying like a baby.
“No. You would be more sorry by the time I eliminate you if Lannon doesn’t do what I say”he smirked.
“What?!”she widened her yes in shock.
He didn’t reply her instead he laughed a very evil laughter before standing up and walking away.
“Please let me go!” she yelled after his retreating figure, crying profusely but he was gone already. “Please….”she cried as she kept sobbing quietly.

Sam didn’t know where to begin from but she knew she had to save her best friend. She was driving in a street she wasn’t really familiar with in Florida. She’d been driving around most of Florida for the past four hours. She really didn’t know what she was doing but she was looking for Lannon or possibly any hint she could use to get him.
She was hungry so she decided to stop at an eatery to get some food. So, she parked her car and walked in frazzled as she went to the counter.
“Grilled chicken and Soda drink.”She orderd, without even waiting for the waiter to welcome her. She wasn’t really in the mood
While waiting for the food, she turned and leaned her back on the counter and watched outside through the transparent glass walls of the eatery. Few minutes later, she sighted someone in suit, entering into a black car. She wanted to be sure where she had seen that face cause it looked very familiar and as the car drove off, she widened her eyes in realisation, knowing that, that was Lannon.
“Oh my God!”she screamed and most people seated in the eatery looked at her wondering why she was screaming.
She never thought it would be possible for her to ever see him. The heavens were being so nice to her and she wasn’t going to let that opportunity slide away. She quickly grabbed the food she had ordered for and paid off. Then the next, she ran to her car, ignited it and zoomed off. She hit the accelerator with full speed as she tried to catch up with his car. She overtook many cars and most drivers wondered if she was doing a race. Finally, she was able to catch up with his car. He was also speeding and she wondered why. She tried to keep up with his speed as she followed his car bumper to bumper.
After like an hour of intense driving and both of them cornering into streets upon streets, they finally arrived at a destination. She made sure to park few meters away from his car. So, Just as she stepped out of her car to go and ask him where the hell her best friend was, he also got down from his car. He held a gun in his hand he didn’t even bother to hide it.
She immediately stopped on her track seeing the gun. ‘What the hell was he doing?’ She thought.
She saw him walk further before cornering into another street. Nervously, she followed him. She was risking her life just to know where her best friend was but she knew it was worth it. So, she secretly followed, praying to the heavens he doesn’t catch her.
He walked down the street till he cornered into another street again. She kept following him as he kept cornering into different streets till finally, he got to a very wide and open arena that looked like an acient Chinese wrestling field.
She was in utter disbelief as she wondered how such a place existed in Florida.
At the middle of the arena was lots of ancient wrestling weapons. Something that had metal spines on it was vividly there and she shivered upon seeing it. ‘Does Florida government know about this?’ She questioned her self. When she looked further, from her hiding place, there was an english mansion built just few meters away from the arena and she watched Lannon enter into it.
“Huh!”she was confused.
She stood, wondering whether to keep on following him or go back. But if she decided to go back, she might never find Lila again and if she decided to follow him, she might die.
As she stood contemplating, she suddenly heard a blast of gun shot and the birds in the wrestling arena, which she hadn’t noticed before flew away. There wings making flapping noises. Noticing the birds now, those were vultures. Were they feeding on decade bodies?
Her heart raced as all she could think of was now how to run. But just as she decided to get away from that place, she saw someone run out of the mansion. The persons leg was bleeding as he limped out. What was going on?
Curiosity hit the best of her and she decide to stay to watch what will happen next.
Few seconds later the man that was limping to find his way out was shot from the back by an unknown bullet that she didn’t know where it came from. She wanted to call 911 but this wasn’t a case for the police. This set of people were clearly evil.
She kept on watching and few minutes later, she saw Lannon walk of the mansion adjusting his suit while still holding a gun. The he dragged someone out of the mansion.
The person’s left eye had been shot and the person was bleeding badly.
“I will give you toture Smith!”she heard Lannon say as he kept dragging the man.
Sam froze. Lannon was the one who had been shooting since? Was he really that dangerous and to think that Lila had been with the guy for a couple of days. She wanted to puke seeing all the sight of blood but she knew that, the right time to run was then. So without thinking twice, she picked to her heels and began to run as fast as she could, till she finally got to her car.
She was breathing hard as she entered her car. She just hoped Lannon hadn’t seen her and while she waited to calm her frightened nerves and drive away, she didn’t know she had stayed so long because she sighted Lannon again and he was still dragging that person. Slowly, he put the person at the back seat of his car before, entering the front seat and driving off.
She didn’t know what pushed her to follow him but she suddenly found herself trailing after his car again even when she was more than frightened.
Tbc?
Sam..hmmm?
Me too, I’m getting scared ?
