Chapter 7
There was rush and push. A boy was losing too much blood. “Who could it be? What could have happened to him?” people in the hospital thought.
“You have a visitor sir”. A guard just informed Andre that someone needed his attention.
“Who did the person say he or she is?” Andre asked.
“She said an old friend,” the guard responded.
“A female?” Let her in. Andre ordered. He had just woken up from his sleep. His house was big and luxurious. The lady got in a few minutes after Andre had requested.

“Surprise!!!”. The Lady said out loud.
“What!! How, How- , How did you find me? Who gave you my address?” Andre said already disgusted by her presence.
“Stop it man. Are you not happy to see me?” she asked. His hands were over his face. The witch followed him to this town.
“Where is the restroom Andre?” she asked.
Not wanting to make a scene, he pointed to the visitor’s restroom. “You have always had nice houses, just need us to fill it with kids” she smiled as she headed for the bathroom. Gosh, she irritated him much after that statement.
“Where is that phone? I need to call my sister. She would be responsible for this”. He said out loud. He began searching the whole room. After two minutes, he couldn’t find it.
“Looking for these?”, she said as she flaunted his phone. She really just went to the restroom so she could check his phone. He never changes his phone unlock pin.
“What the hell! How did you-?!” he shouted, fuming his face.
“Well the police called you, you should call them soon, it seemed important”. She dropped his phone as she went to look for the kitchen. She hasn’t had a good meal since the flight.

“It’s been an hour and half, Trey is not back with any food yet”. Miles was talking to Mr. Lance’s friend. “I’d go look after him please watch him before I’m back at least. Miles set out.
“That is the man I saw with him earlier”. One of the receptionists had just informed the doctor.
“Young man, can we talk in my office please?” The Doctor had approached Miles.
“Sure, let’s go,” Miles offered.
“A young boy was seen with you when you got into the hospital. Do you know his whereabouts at the moment?”, the doctor asked calmly.
“… hmm, Yes Doctor. He was just out to get his sick Father some food. Is there any problem?” Miles asked in a mild tone.
“Not really. Please follow me”. Miles followed the doctor. The ward door said “EMERGENCY”.
“Why are we here?” Miles was scared already but needed to act like a man.
“What!!!”
“How did this happen Doctor?”. Miles was almost running tears in his eyes. Trey’s head was bandaged. He wore a huge tear on his leg and it was stitched already. He was completely unconscious of his environment.
“Reports said he was attacked by some men but they couldn’t get any of them. He bled so much and has lost blood. There is no blood in our bank that matches his at the moment. He needs a donor.” he had informed Miles. Miles just placed his forehead on the wall, slamming and hitting the wall simultaneously. “His Dad is sick, his sister is missing and now he is injured. What is all these going on?”
“Ah, I got it now. The people his father owes are after them.
“How are we going to get a donor now or blood? His mother is late.” Miles asked.
“It would cost a lot to get blood down here as soon as possible. We have to act fast” the doctor requested.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“How much Doctor?” Miles responded.
“That would be four thousand dollars including the treatment too” the doctor answered.
“Okay i will make the payment now. Please get the blood down here” Miles said as he headed to pay the money. It was a huge sum. He was going to give the money to Vanessa to help her with the debt.
“I will get out of this place soon”. Vanessa thought. She had only one way. It was Perry.

Arriving at the police station,
“I missed your calls,” Andre said.
“There was a witness on Vanessa’s missing. The anonymous man wrote to us and said your worker Theresa at the club was found with three other men that night she went missing. And they had put Vanessa in a truck after hitting her on the head.” the policeman informed him.
“When was the last time you saw her around the club or in town?” the man asked.
“I’ve not, but I know someone who might.” He was talking about Selma. He headed out to Selma’s but decided to check his visitor at home first.
*****
It’s been two hours now, the blood has just arrived. And the surgery would take place in twenty minutes. Miles and Jon were looking after Lance but couldn’t inform him yet. Miles had not heard from the police yet. “I will visit the police tomorrow morning. I have to stay here all night to check on them. You can go home sir” speaking to Jon, he was calling Vanessa’s number but this time it was switched off.

Andre just got to his house,
“What is it you want from me Lydia?” Andre asked. “Why on earth are you here?”. He asked again but she did not respond. She just feasted on the meal in front of her and had a large chunk of food in her mouth. Lydia was Andre’s ex girlfriend. He wasn’t so much interested in her anymore so he ended the relationship but she won’t stop bugging him. The last time they met she made him have sex with her but he didn’t want to be around her anymore.
“Well, I brought you a gift that’s why I’m here” Lydia said after his murmurs.
“It’s not my birthday, I have no anniversary with you. Why is there a gift?” He asked.
“Would you quit being a baby and listen!” she was already pissed.
“I am carrying your child! Andre” she said, almost losing her voice. He was murmuring but in a moment everywhere was silent.
“What?!, How come?!”, Andre was shocked but surprisingly he was happy but would never allow her to see it.
“How old is the child? How are you sure its my child?!” He asked.
“I am four months pregnant and I want to raise my child with its father,” she added.
“You can’t be here, go back to Italy and stay with my family”. He responded by walking out on her. Shouting out loud, “I won’t let you do that to me!. Andre! Andre!! Come back here.” She was already crying. She felt pain and bitterness. Back in his car, Andre headed for Selma’s house after calling to inform her he was on his way there. The pregnant woman was on his mind throughout his journey.

Waiting for Theresa and Derek – one of her kidnappers to drive off. Vanessa had her plan to escape.
“Hey Perry, can I use the bathroom?” Vanessa asked, seeing her kidnapper entering the room.
“Sure”, he set her hands and legs free. “Hey what’s going on?” he asked as Vanessa was pushing him towards the wall.
“Shhhh!!!” she said quietly placing her finger on his lip in a seductive manner. He oozed alcohol and he seemed pretty drunk. It was them alone at home. She kissed him. It really gave him a hard-on.
“Whoa, that was so fast.” she thought. Besides it was not a kiss on the lip, it came on his neck. She knew she had him already. She gave him more kisses on the neck. As soon as he pulled her closely to kiss her on the lips, she hit him on his head with a stick she had lifted while pushing him. He fell, with a bleeding nose he was unconscious and could barely attack. She hit him again and again. With the fear of killing him, she stopped.
She tied him with the rope they had used on her, picked the keys and left the house as soon as possible. Theresa and Derek were back early. She was still in the building.
“Who slammed the door that hard?” Derek and Theresa both thought.
“Lock the gate. I’d go through the front door, you go through the back door”. Theresa ordered.
