So, Sam kept on trailing Lannon. It seemed his journey was unending because he was just driving through the express roads in high speed.
It had been over an hour since she’d been trailing him and she feared for her fuel. The tank already ticked red.
Finally, he cornered into a road and they were back in the towns of Florida.
The hustling and bustling of individuals, somehow calmed her fear.
They cornered into a closed street and the mansion gate at the extreme end of the close, opened. She watched Lannon drive in and she quickly parked her car somewhere a little far from the gate. She couldn’t enter unless Lannon would find out she had been following him.
It wasn’t even up to five minutes, before another car came and drove in through the gate Lannon had passed. She wasn’t sure if waiting was going to be the best idea for her but she had to try her best for Lila.
Meanwhile, Lannon was far gone in his zeal to kill. He was far gone in his bereaved state. So, when he finally parked his car, he got out of the car, opened the back seat and dragged the half dead Smith out of the car.
He was back at his agency, so he carried Smith to his usual place. The disguised plant house Rodger had told Lila about.
He held Smith’s hands apart with chain as they got to the room and Smith’s head hung low to his neck like he was almost dead.
Then he brought out his gun and he pointed it to Smith.
“State your last wish Smith!”he growled.
“Oh, you wish!” Smith spat out blood “You do nothing Lannon. Oh what a scarecrow” he feigned a shiver even in his pain. Clearly, he was mocking Lannon.
Lannon aimed a shot at his two knees and the man groaned in severe pain. His blood stained teeth, gnashing together.
“I will make your death not so easy Smith. I promise you!”he stated before storming out of the disguised room.
He went into the main mansion and there, he met Douglas and his group of boys.
“We couldn’t find her sir”Douglas reported.
He looked up at Douglas and then he sneered”her best friend has been trailing me. Bring her in” he said
Douglas nodded in understanding and then he left along with his boys.
While Lannon walked further, he saw uncle Mascow’s trusted guard. His pain only increased seeing someone that reminded him so much about his uncle.
“Trevor”he called the trusted guard.
“We’ve done as you said boss.”Trevor quickly bowed, reporting. He tried his best to hide his tears. Cause it was so hurting to lose someone he’d worked so hard for. “The body has been taken to the mortuary. The burial preparations are all set.”
“Take a break Trevor.”Lannon pitied the poor guard.
Trevor sniffed back his tears”I must pay my last respect to Sir Mascow.” he said firmly and Lannon nodded not wanting to talk further. He patted the guard’s shoulder before leaving off to his room.
Once he was alone in his room and seated on his bed, he let his tears flow freely. He was in anguish. He was in pain. Uncle Mascow was the sweetest uncle.
After they had moved to Florida, when he was only twelve. He was trained harshly, to be fierce, to be brave, to be able to kill. He went to a martial art school where he was taught so much and at the age of seventeen, Uncle Mascow had given him the authority to have his own agency. Now, he regretted all the times he’d been stubborn to uncle Mascow. He’d regretted the times he’d been ungrateful and had always planned to run away which never worked. He regretted everything.
“Arrgh!!!”he groaned, kicking his legs in the air as his hand raked through his hair in frustration.
Then he stood up from the bed abruptly. He’d passed the stage of crying, this was the time to kill and he won’t spare a bas!ard that tries to get in his way.
He stormed out of his room and was marching angrilly back to the disguised plant house to finish off with Smith. Once he got there, he met Smith still groaning in pain. He moved to a special place where he usually kept dangerous instruments for gruesome deaths and so, he brought a chair that had steels and daggers attached to it.
He unchained Smith and carefully, placed him on the chair. Smith was too weak to fight back. He locked his hand to the chair handle and then he pressed a button on the chair and it began to vibrate. The time on the chair, set to twenty four hours. Slowly, a dagger burst out from the back of the chair and pierced into Smith. He groaned immediately.
Lannon stepped back and watched him. Then again, another dagger came out from the right handle of the chair and it pierced him by his side stomach. He groaned the more. And with a final smirk, Lannon turned around satisfactorily and left not without hearing, Smith’s yell behind him
“You bastard. Lannon!!!”
He turned deaf ears to the dying man.

Sam was waiting tiredly as she munched on the food she had ordered when she sighted some men coming towards her. Her heart skipped a beat but she quickly comported herself. She didn’t have to look suspicious. Unknown to her, they were coming to get her.
They finally, stopped by her car and the tallest one amongst them stepped forward as he looked at her.
“You would have to come with us miss”
She swallowed the unchewed chicken in her mouth nervously and it almost chocked her. She coughed hard before looking up at the man”I’m sorry, who are you?”she decided to act with sense and not make it obvious that she’d been watching by.
“My boss requires you come in” the tall man said.
“Well, I don’t know who you are. So who the hell is your boss?” She asked.
“Please come with us ma’am”
She sighed and looked up at him”Don’t you hear?”
“I don’t have to force you ma’am. Please come with us”
Sam knew if she acted any further, they might actually end up hijacking her from her car and taking her in. So she came out from the car, still looking tough.
“Your boss better has something good to say”she rolled her eyes even though deep down, she was as scared as ever.
What if Lannon killed her, what if he shot her just like he did with those people? Her heart raced as they escorted her into the mansion.
She had no time to look around because for she feard for her life. Once they got into the mansion, only the tallest man escorted her to Lannon’s room. His room for Christ sake! She was dead meat, she concluded as she entered the room.
Lannon was seated on the bed and he was backing her. She stood naively and waited for what he had to say or do in so an eerie room.
“If you know where your best friend is, you spell it out!”his cold voice came.
She gulped nothing nervously before opening her mouth to speak. “I have no idea”she said.
Lannon was quiet and a brooding silence stretched in the room. Suddenly, he stood up, flinging the phone he had in his hands against the wall agressively and the screen crashed before it dropped to the floor in shattered pieces
“I Füçking warned her! “He yelled.
Sam recoiled back in fright for her life. She wanted nothing to do with this dangerous man but here she was already.
“I told your crap of a best friend to stay with me. Don’t she ever listen?”he looked at her. His eyes burning with flames of anger.
Sam pursed her lips not wanting to say a word.
“Where was the last you saw her?”he asked.
“At the hospital”sam was quick to reply “she came to get her mum, then she said she had to use the restroom, but she never came back”she explained.
“Füçk!”he punched the wall behind him and his knuckles began to bleed.
“I have to find her”he stated.
“No. We have to find her. I Füçking thought you’d kidnapped her again” Sam was now suddenly brave. She didn’t know where it came from but she loved it.
“You stay out of this. Go back to her mum” Lannon said.
“She’s my bestfriend. You don’t push me away. We are going to find her. You and me”she stated
“I want no one else dying Sam. Stay out of this!”he warned and made to walk out but she blocked his way.
“Don’t push me away please. I can help”
“No, you can’t”
“I can!”she said.
“Don’t you get!”he yelled”no one else is dying Sam. I just lost my uncle. And there is Lila, I know nothing about were she is. You joining me, you end up being my responsibility!”
Sam shivered in fear as she watched him. Everything he said made a whole lot of sense but still, she could help. “I don’t have to be your responsibility” she looked up at him with misty eyes. “Just let me help. If I die, it’s all on me. Lila is my best friend and I have to do something”she noted.
Lannon sighed before going back to the bed and sitting on it. He was exhausted by everything that had happened. He didn’t talk for more than six minutes till finally, he looked up at the anticipating Sam.
“After the burial of my uncle we begin!”he stated and Sam heaved a sigh of relieve before finally noticing how Lannon looked.
The death of his uncle had really crushed him.
