“So Tracey will be six-months-old,” Michael said behind her, gathering his arms around her and kissing her on the neck.
“Yea, she is such a perfect gift.” She replied as they both watched Tracy sulking in her bed.
“I am so tired of running Michael; I think my father would have accepted that we can’t be found. Let’s just stay in one place please, and start a family.”
Michael kissed her again and turned her around to face him.
“I love you, Shel, I have loved you ever since Fabian started telling me about you . I promised I would always make you happy and that I would protect you right when he gave you up for me. if that is what you want, I will do just that.”
Shelby smiled. “You are such a good person Michael, I am so lucky to have you,”
“Nope, I am happy to have you.” He replied, brushing the tip of her nose with his index finger.
“So, why don’t we have a party tomorrow?”
“Really?”
“Yes.  I mean, let’s invite all these white people that we Nigerians can be fun as well. I hate the way they look at me as if I am a terrorist.”
Michael laughed

. “No problem love. Anything you want. But there is something I need you to do for me.”
She smiled, putting her arms around him and looking into his eyes. “What?”
“Fabian....”
At the sound of the name, she almost pulled out her arms but he held her steadily.
“You need to forgive him.”
She looked away. “He killed Nana, I can’t forgive him.”
“Your father made him do it. You need to forgive him.”
She sighed.
“Look, we are safe because of him. He has given everything up for us to be safe. We don’t even know if he is alive right now. You need to forgive him please...”
Tracey stirred and made some funny noises which made her pull away and attend to her.
As she carried the baby in her arms, rocking her gently, Michael, came to meet her again.
“Do you still have feelings for him?”
“No.” She said instantly.
“I would understand if you do. He is my best friend and your childhood sweetheart...”
“Who killed the only motherly figure that I had.” She cut in, her voice quavering.
“He did everything for us and now because of him we have Tracey, you need to forgive him please.”
“It’s not that simple Michael, I just cannot. I know It wasn’t his fault but I just cannot forgive him.”
Michael came closer. “You can. He told me you can do anything. He cares so much about you and I and we owe him.”
She could feel the tears gathering again....”Okay...I forgive him... Wherever you are Fabian, I forgive you.”

Shelby opened her eyes as she recounted what had happened a day before she lost everything she cared for. She had forgiven Fabian without seeing him and now with him sitting some inches away from her in the private jet they had boarded, it was somehow awkward. She wasn’t really sure if to pity him or to forgive him...
Now that they were going to kill someone that she was supposed to save, someone that had stood by her, she needed to talk to Fabian but what was she going to say? How could she trust him?

Fabian’s eyes were hidden behind the dark glasses he was wearing.

. He was motionless and anyone would have thought he was asleep. But he wasn’t.  He was looking right at Shelby who was looking at him and....what was that on her face? Sadness?
He was confused, he thought she wasn’t capable of those anymore. He got a message from Calvin yesterday to check out if she was faking the whole thing. He had thought it wasn’t possible but now, looking at her with the grief on her face, he was sure that she was thinking about the people she had lost. This was impossible!
Even if he was to talk to her, what was he going to say? His phone chimed and she adjusted, averting her gaze.
All of a sudden, the pilot shouted.
“Something is happening! I can’t control it!”
Quickly, Shelby unfastened her seat belt and they both ran to where the pilot was.
“What is happening?” Shelby demanded.
The pilot was confused as he kept hitting all the buttons at once. The jet was turning around. Fabian was confused.
“I think we are being hacked.” The pilot screamed, terror in his eyes.
“Oh my God” Shelby whimpered.
As Fabian was about to respond, his phone chimed.
“We have the ruby and we have Laura tied down. My men found the doctor, he is safe.  Shrek is hijacking the coordinates of the plane, we are turning you around now. Let’s crack open this ruby and see what’s up. Cal.”
