Steve pov:

For the life of me I dare not move, I dare not make a sound, 
Holy lord, 
My heart was pounding so hard I almost melt into arches, 
I heard his foot steps as he moved slowly and now standing at the back of his jeep..
He let out another wicked laugh and
cracked the boot...
My eyes widened

"oh my God"

the next I heard was Andrew shaky voice..

"emm excuse me sire" Andrew called

"Andrew "

I let out a silent breath when erik pressed back the boot .. I squeezed my form and kissed the cross on my neck...

That was close

"what do you want "  Erik barked..

Andrew pov.. .

I glanced ahead and cursed silently as he pulled his jeep to slow, 
Holy shit .

I glanced around the express away
This can't be his destination ,

. It can't be,

I watched him get down from his jeep and glance at the direction of his boot...
At the sight of that I realise Steve might have been completely busted..
As quick as possible i pulled the gear and parked behind a car by the side of the road
Although I didn't know who this man was,  but at the sight of him and his strange attitude earlier,  you could tell he would be as dangerous as he looks..
I shut the door and ran a little further. ..
My heart skipped at the sight of a knife... I had to quickly bend beside the car in front of me, 
he glanced around and hides the knife in his pocket..
He walked slowly now to the back of his black jeep and let out a deep laugh
I ran forward and slower my pace when I get closer,

I steady my breath and stood few feet away glancing left and right like I was looking for a taxi ..
i thrust my fingers through my hairs, now watching him from the corner of my eyes.. 

Oh no do something Andrew

"krrrrrrrrr"  he cracked his boot

"Excuse me sire" I interrupted rather shakily

He pressed the boot back and glance side ways at me...

I stare at his deep dark expression, which now holds a rising temper..

"what do you want " he barked...

"actually sire I lost my way around here",,

"sooo,  find your way then" he scowled turning back to the boot..

"Actually sire"
I was about opening my mouth to talk further only to see him move backwards, his brows rising up in a lined furrows.
His gaze was at the back of his jeep as though something invisible just came out of it

"Richy who the hell owns the phone in your hands "
"stop playing with that phone already, I told you to go meet mummy and have your bath"

I widened my eyes at the sight ,
I got so scared ...
I slowly moved backwards and turn ...almost falling as I raced back to my car like fire

"God " I staggered holding on to my chest as I pant in and out ..

"Gosh, what the hell was that, I always hate horror movies I can't believe I just saw one horror scene just now "

I puff out a breath and fearfully turn my face back to the direction...
He already moved back to the driver seat pointing his finger back angrily as though he was referring to someone.....

"this man has gone totally crazy, God he needs psychiatrist help"

A chill passed through me at the thought of what kind of game Steve is actually playing with this deadly man.

We can just get the police to hijack him so he could confess wherever the hell he puts Ann and my brother ..

I  hissed and tapped  my self on the head .

"stupid what about evidence. He did nothing, mere accusation wouldn't solve anything ... I hope Steve is able to do something  at least get an evidence so we could just report him already"

I raced round towards the drivers seat and quickly starts the ignition .......

After I watch him drove out...
I took a turn to the express way
few seconds later my phone buzzed out ...

"hello mum"

" Andrew any news about caleb"

"mum Caleb is fine,  you know what I'll call you back"

"Andrew "

"mum okay "
I disconnected the phone and dropped it on the seat beside me..

Still with a racing heart I pull on the gear and zoom forward...

********

Steve pov,

I wipe the Sweat on my face
I can't believe he wouldn't even turn on his A. C all this while,
I took a deep silent breath and I squeeze my form wondering what rubbish he parked in here to make it so tight and stuffy..
  gosh my legs and arms hurts like hell ..

Whatever had happened back there I was sure with the way he spoke, the anger and the throb in his voice
It's like a ghost is tomenting him ...
Serves him right
And Andrew  ...i was sure he fled like a b-tch, leaving me like this.
What if the ghost hadn't scared erik off this boot, Andrew would have left me...
Goshhhhhh whom ever this Richy is, I just hope you help me fight this to the end..

I bit my lips and clicked on my phone when a silent message entered ..

It was Sam...

"hello steve were are you  any news about Ann "

"not yet babe "

"but are you sure you are okay "

"babe, am fine I'll be with you soon.  Had to run some errands " .

"are you sure you are okay, cause my mind is saying other wise, "

"babe, calm down your man is fine I'll be with you soon, okay ..... i have to go now,  but are you sure your devilish uncle didn't hurt you"

"no Steve,  he only came in with a sharp knife in his hand and laughed, mum and dad were surprised they definitely questioned him on the knife.  .
But the next he brought out was an orange, he's such a trickish  man, he came to threaten me and ends up fooling mum and dad."

"calm down babe, I won't let him hurt you,  just stay right  there  okay I love you so much "

She sends a smiley

"Love you too"

I closed the chat and glanced up at the sound of his laugh..
I silent my breath and listen...

"Man Desmond, I hate you, I hate,  l hate you so much...
after taking the life of that stupid lover boy. .   your daughter death is next whether you like it or not.. "

He let out an horror double tone laugh

At the sound of that, my stomach knotted... As quick as possible i pressed on the record on my phone,  squeezed up my form and place it high on top of the rubbish he occupied the boot with...

damn it,  how could I have been so stupid not to realise he's still gonna cause hovoc even after taking my life"
But why did he hate his brother so much, thought he hated Sam instead what's really happening...

It was like the ghost was present again suddenly his voice breaks into a racking scorn..

"let me tell you what happened Richy,  if you think am a bad father,  I'm not,
Stop following me,  I'm not a bad person Richy...

Read " Her Secret Lover " by the same author ( Op. Amina )

. " he shouted and cried...
He pulls the car to speed... My phone almost fall,  but I was fast to catch it...
I hold on to it tightly and silently place it back to the top of the nonscence he occupied the boot with ...

"God Richy,  I thought he was my brother,  but I never knew he was my enemy, he took all I had away from me,  all of you, your brothers  and your mum."

It was like the ghost spoke back to him asking about how it all happened ..

"Okay okay promise me if I tell you how. You would stop following me,"

"you would be at rest Richy,  am only avenging your death. Desmond took you all away from me"

He was silent for a moment, My heart suddenly skipped when he let out a deep scream..

"stop"

"stop arguing with me Richy, am your father,  I knew every damn thing that happened..."

I was actually shaking with everything I was eaves dropping on,
My heart let out a pounding like never before
so the ghost was his son,  so it might be the ghost actually knew I was here, 
God the ghost is helping me squeezed all his secret out...

Is this real life or fantasies,  so ghosts  who torments really exists..

Whereever you are Richy.  I know I can't see you,  and I know you're trying to stop your dad too,  but I just really wish you could show yourself to me once after all this is over...   you've really helped me a lot... Thank you so much ...

"shut up Richy " he argued

"Desmond always had everything ahead of me, fame,  women, he passed out of school ahead of me,  he acquired wealth ahead of me ...he acquired everything ahead of me despite being his senior brother thought it was faith right at first,, but when he had the only thing I have ahead of him...
Mine crumbled and varnished,  and that was you guys, when he had Sam, that was when you guys died and then did I realise that accident had happened so he could be ahead of me again, I wanted to kill his daughter but I thought of it and hold back,
I wanted to torture Her.
I wanted to make her life miserable before I would strangled her to death..... so Desmond would know how pained it is to loose a child...
I thought a grown up child would be the most painful one right...

He laughed between sobs...

"Richy,  am only avenging your death.,,  don't worry if am done here I'll come join you guys, your mum and your brothers, hope they are fine "

"what!!!!,  you don't know where they are, "

"so you choose to keep  tomenting  your dad,  cause you are not at rest right,  it's a simple thing to do.  Just go to your grave and rest,  Richy go. , go now"

He let out another laugh...

"good boy "

All possible thoughts drove away from my mind at the discoveries,
 I was so shocked to the extent, I thought I was gonna die of fear ...
I just don't know what to start thinking anymore, 
This ghost has really done his part,  its now left or me to protect my woman in every possible way ...
If he's planning to hurt her,  then I must plan for a way to get her to safety tonight .

I struggled and stretched my arms to pick my phone , I clicked on the record and quickly saved it...

Your downfall is near Eric
..
His jeep finally pulls to stop ,, he got down... I struggled at the back of his boot , it was opened as though someone has opened it ..
I blinked rapidly and squeezed my form up to peep through the glass.. I glanced around,  
the building was a bungalow,  probably the house he lives in, 

I saw a guy met him half way as he led him further ...
There was anger all over his face when he stormed in....

I opened the boot slowly and got down..
My whole body hurts from too much bending ,  but for the life of me I have  to get out of here, I slide my phone into my pocket and tapped on it

At the sound of gun shot,  my mind skipped in beats ,  I wanted to run right inside the building.. But something in me stops me.... 
Don't you dare Steve
I turn Instead and ran towards the gate...

I hope Ann and Caleb are safe..
But still I must find a way to come back here tonight,, probably to come search for the bomb botton ....

But first I have to get out of here for now...
I raced at the sight of Andrew gesturing at me
I kissed on my cross once more and raced further..
So help me God ...
