NEXT MORNING
Henderson was woken up with a call, He thought it was Ethan calling. He got up and pick up his phone. It a call coming from his Grandma. He was about to pick up but the call ended. He tried calling her back it was not no one was picking up. His hands were shaking, he called the number five times but no answer, he called Ethan to tell him that her phone is on.
“Am on it bro” Ethan replied. “Alright bro” He replied and hang up, he walked out of the room, a call came in from his grandma.
“Hello Henderson” The male voice, laughing. “Lucas!” He called, shocking on hearing his voice.
“Yeah, it’s Lucas. I know that you’re surprised, oh com’on you know I would do anything to get revenge for what you did. I was so embarrassed and i feel like blowing up this old lady’s head” He yelled pointing a pistol on her forehead.
“Lucas, don’t hurt her. Please it’s between us. Don’t hurt her” Henderson pleaded.
“I won’t hurt her, but don’t try to be smart or else i will do the unexpected. I will kill her i don’t fúçking care. You’re the one who will lose” Lucas said and puff the cigarette smoke to the air.
“Get my money ready and this time you will double it Henderson” Lucas said, smiling wíckedly.
“Your money is not a problem Lucas. Can talk to her please?” Henderson said, but he hang up on him. He ran his hand on his hair, in frustration. He hurriedly call Ethan, at first he didn’t pick up. He called him again he picked up and gave the same reply that he’s working on it.
“Ethan he doesn’t want me to talk to her” Henderson said. “Chill man, you will get to talk to her when we’ve finally get her out”
“Who are these guys?” He asked. “It’s Lucas.”
“I thought you shot him on his leg” Ethan said, shocked. “I did, Ethan let’s not talk about this now okay”
“Alright, alright i understand. You need to call the cops and informed them and don’t forget to give out Her majesty’s number, so that they can track her” Ethan said.
“Alright bro, thanks. I will call you later” He said and hang up. He called the inspector and told him everything, he also gave them his grandma’s number and immediately they began to track them down.
After dropping the call with the officer, Ethan’s call came in. “I have tracked them down. This man is clever but we got him now. He is in a factory, i will send the address” Ethan said.
“Thanks bro.” Henderson said, smiling. “Com’on we are brothers. No thank you” He replied and hang up. He sent the address to him. He saw the address, some minutes later the officer sent the address to him, it was the same the address. He smiled and waited Lucas to call him.
He came back to the room Amelia was still sleeping, he quickly did his morning routine and dressed up. He was done when Lucas called again, using his grandma’s phone. He picked up.
“Hello Lucas” He muttered. “Get the money ready, i will send the aaddress. Don’t try to act smart Henderson” He warned.
“Alright..” Henderson utter and waited for him to send the address after some minutes he sent the address, it was the same thing. He got himself ready and grabbed the brief case filled with the money he requested for. He called Ethan and the cops before leaving. They followed him, some minutes he arrived at the factory and the gangs searched him, before letting him in. They were about to tell him to open the brief case, when Lucas interfered, they left him. Lucas took him to his grandma the other gangs accompanied them, they a spot Lucas sent them back. Henderson kept staring at the place. They finally arrive to the place she was, he tried to run to her, Lucas pointed a gun on him. He stopped.
“Lucas i have your money here” He said. “That’s what you said the other time and end up cheating me. You shut me” He yelled, pointing the gun at him.
“Lucas..your money is with me. Besides we are the ones having this issue, let’s not involve anyone”
Lucas laughed out loudly. “You think am a fool. You think these words would move me.”
“No Henderson” He yelled and ÇOçk the gun and then pointed it on his grandma’s head.
“Henderson, please leave this place now” Miranda yelled, in tears. Lucas who is so angry and couldn’t control his anger, end up slapping her hardly on her cheek making her bleed from her lips. Henderson angrily brought out his gun from the brief case making the money and brief case fell on the floor, when Lucas heard the sound he turn and Henderson shot him on his both legs, Lucas gun fell off his hand, he groaned in pain and he was still struggling to pick up his gun, Henderson walked to him and get hold of his jacket, he dragged him out of the place. He saw the cops running to their direction, he saw some of his gangs laying lifelessly on the floor. He then realized that Henderson is not the kind of guy you would do something bad and get out with it. Nothing hurts him, then seeing the ones he loves in trouble. No matter how bad a woman would hurt him, he can’t raise his hand to hit her.
The cops rescue Miranda and they carried her to the hospital. Henderson was still in the factory with Lucas who was half dead.
“Apologize” Henderson said. He chuckled. “Never Henderson, you son of a…” Henderson didn’t let him finish his words, he shut him on his forehead. He stared at his lifeless body..
Ethan came to him breathing heavily. “I have been looking for you, I thought you were the one who was shut” He managed to say, breathing heavily.
“Am okay. I have stained my hands again”
“You haven’t done anything wrong, you only brought an enemy down. A man who kills with a gun will surely get down by gun. He has wasted many lives and doesn’t care about it” Ethan muttered and glanced at Lucas lifeless body. Henderson sigh.
“Let’s get out of this place” Ethan said, they left and some of the cops were outside, they went in to investigate the scene, they were dead bodies.
“Are you okay?” Ethan asked, staring at him. He nodded slowly. “And good, just thinking about Amelia” He replied.
“She will be happy when she hears that Her majesty is okay” Ethan muttered, he nods.
“Don’t worry i will drive you to the palace'” Ethan said, smiling. “You should go home and rest. Thank you for being there for me” Henderson said.
“Stop thanking me” He replied and shook his head. “I have to. You’ve done a lot of things for me” Henderson mumbled.
“Stop making it look like am the only one doing it, you did it too. You have done a lot for me. Okay.” Ethan replied.
Amelia is already up, she has searched the bedroom but didn’t find him. She also asked the maids, but she didn’t get any responsible answers. She had her breakfast and went to her bedroom, she sat there doing nothing. She went to the garden and spent some time there with her brother. She also returned to her bedroom while Richard went to his, she picked up her phone and dialed his number, which were switched off, because of the operation he went for. She throw the phone on the bed annoyingly and laid on the other side of the bed. Her mind wasn’t at rest, after some minutes she checked her phone if she could see his calls or messages. But she got non, she dropped back the phone.
“Oh goodness, please protect the king and her majesty. She’s all he got” She prayed, silently.

She is safe. He is gone.
What do you think Henderson would’ve killed Lucas? To I don’t think he would have, but something pushed him to do it.
