Lauren sighs after getting off from the phone. The bodyguard she hired just informed her her son is safe.
She dropped the phone on the table and went back to what she was doing before the call.
A knock came on the door.
“Come in”
Ellie and Jemmy walked in. Ellie smile.
“Lauren, look who is here”
Ellie said.
“Jemmy…
To what do I owe this visit?”
Lauren smile. Jemmy walked to her and hugged her.
“Have a seat please”
Lauren added.
Ellie and Jemmy both sat down.
“So how is Harry doing?
The last time we saw each other was when he was in the hospital”
“Harry is fine,
Everyone is okay”
Jemmy replied.
“Okay?”
“Am here to see you, Lauren Quinn”
Jemmy said.
“Alright, am listening”
Lauren replied.
“Does Ellie need to excuse us?”
“No, there isn’t a need for that, I mean we are ladies”
Jemmy replied.
“Yeah…
Am listening, Jemmy”
Ellie also said.
“Alright, am confused about something and am sorry if this seems offensive but is Alex the biological father of Ethan?”
Jemmy asked.
Lauren and Ellie looked at each other before they faced Jemmy again.
“Is something wrong?”
Lauren asked.
“No, I was only confused,… I asked Doctor James about the DNA test but he refused to tell the truth so I think Doctor James is keeping something from you guys”
Lauren smile.
“Are you saying Doctor James refused to tell you about it?
“Yes, I mean…
Is something not fishy?
I don’t think Alex is the father”
“Yeah, we are aware of that”
Alex isn’t the biological father
Ellie replied.
“He is just a random guy Lauren dated”
Lauren gave her a look.
“What, you guys live under the same roof for months pretending as husband and wife”
Ellie added.
“Wow…
I guess things just become clear to me now, am no more confused now”
But who is the real father”
“That’s what I don’t want to talk about. That’s another sad story of my life on its own”
Lauren said and sighed.
Jemmy held her hands.
“I understand your pain”
Thanks for telling me this”
Lauren nodded.
“So, is that the reason you wanted to see Lauren?
“Yeah… I was so confused and I thought Doctor James was keeping the secrets from you not knowing you both also knew about it”
What about the real father?
“As I said earlier, that’s the sad part of my life’s story. So I don’t want to talk about it”
Lauren replied.
“Yeah, it’s okay
I will be on my way now”
Jemmy said and stood up.
“Bye,” She bade them goodbye before walking out of her office.
Ellie faces Lauren.
“Lauren, I think…
“Before you speak, I know what you are going to say”
Lauren shut her up before she could speak.
Ellie sighs.
“Ain’t you going to find his father, it’s been six years now”
“No, I want to leave a peaceful life and I want no trouble for Ethan.
What if we decided to find who the father is, and something else happened?
“Something else like what?
Are you afraid that secrets might dig up? Or maybe the father might not be someone you thought of?
“That’s enough, Ellie…
Please you can go back to your office now, jemmy already left”

~(White House)~
Marcel knelt in front of his father who couldn’t believe his son got a job at his grandchild’s school and had been sneaking out for months.
*Dad.. please understand me, I don’t mean to defy your orders but I have to protect my son”
“Protect your son,
Marcel, I already told you that has already been taken care of”
His dad replied.
“Your men are not doing their job. My son was almost kidnapped at his school, I have to save him myself
Please, Dad, forgive me I just want to stay near him and protect him”
“It’s dangerous out there, Marcel
Things haven’t died down yet and if your identity gets to be known before what I planned out is successful, then you put yourself in danger again”
“I will try and stay out of trouble.
I can’t just bear the pain of seeing Ethan live without his real father. I was also shocked when I heard he has a father already”
His dad smiled.
“Even, in hiding… you are still jealous
Lauren isn’t married yet and your son just grew up knowing Alex as his father”
“I can’t wait to go back to them, Dad”
His dad patted his back.
“Give it a little time, Marcel
I still need to deal with the current trouble right now”
“Alright, Dad…
Thanks for understanding me”
*Yeah but that doesn’t mean I let you go…
You are still going to be punished for defying my orders”
He said and stood up.

“I think things just became hard for you”
Jack said as he walked inside.
“What happened? Where is the kid?
Alex asked.
“Like I said, things just became worse, there is a bodyguard with the kid who won’t let him out of his sight”
Jack replied.
Alex smile.
“Lauren hired a bodyguard for her son?
Gosh, why is it so hard to get him?
“Well, you should have taken use of your chances when you took him at first”
Jack said.
“There is nothing I can do, the plan was going well not until one of the school teachers came to his rescue”
His face looks familiar but I can’t recollect where we met”
Alex replied.
“Will you forget where you’ve seen him before and try to find a way we can get Lauren’s son?
We have just some hours left, remember Mr. George gave you three days”
“What do you suggest I do?”
Alex asked.
“We have to get rid of his bodyguard first, in any way possible
And we have to do it fast cos of time”
Jack said.
“Why are you willing the help me?”
Alex asked. He knew Jack couldn’t be helping him without him wanting something.
“Am helping you because am trying to impress my father in law”
Jack smile.
“You are doing this for Lucy?
“Yeah, so let’s get to work”
Jack said and stood up.

~(West Sussëx, high school)~
Ethan’s bodyguard was still standing at the classroom door. Mrs Welson walked in with a sad face.
“Morning, everyone
Mr. Marcel won’t be coming to school for a while, he is seriously sick, so I will be taking over from where he stopped.
The whole class groaned sadly.
*I going to miss Mr Marcel”
Katherine said.
“Me too”
Ethan replied.
Ethan’s bodyguard still stands at the classroom door. Suddenly, he felt something pierced into his neck. He removed it and saw a little arrow with a red color at its tip.
He looked around but saw people. His body became weak instantly and he fell to the ground, sleeping widely and deeply.
The whole classroom looked at him. Mrs Welson quickly rushed to him.
“Are you okay?
She asked and discovered he was fast asleep. It wasn’t up to some seconds, she also felt a little arrow on her elbow. She passed out immediately and collapsed on the bodyguard.
Everyone in the class began to laugh. The way she fell to the ground could have been funny to the kids.
Jack came in with his men seconds later.
“Morning, kids”
Jack smile…
“Sir, Mrs Welson is on the floor”
A kid said and stood up.
“Yes, am aware of that.
Ethan Quinn”
He called and faced Ethan.
“Your mom is waiting for you outside”
Ethan smiled and wanted to stand up, ready to leave the classroom but Katherine held him back.
“Don’t go, Ethan…
He looks like a bad man”
She said.
Ethan looked at Katherine and back at Jack.
“C’mon…
Kiddo, let’s go”
Jack gestured for him to come over.
“No, am not going anywhere without my bodyguard.
Ethan refused and folded his arms.
“But your bodyguard is dead…
C’mon, let me take you to your mom”
“No,…
Ethan replied.
Jack sighs.
“Then, I guess I will do this the other way round”
He said and rushed to him, grabbing him by the hand.
Every kid in class burst into tears seeing how Ethan is struggling to get away from Jack’s grip.
