*Max Consult (Chris)

“go through the files and sign at the necessary place; tomorrow is our official partner date with Bea company” my Dad say with a broad smile displayed on his face

“you seem very happy Dad”

He swirls round again “Yes I am son, you will soon understand”

I shake my head and sign through the files; whatever makes my old man happy makes me happy too, he is all that I have. My phone vibrates inside my pocket but I dare not pick when I am with my Dad . I ignore it but make a mental note to reply later

“son, what is your birthday gift to me”

I smiled “I might introduce you to my future wife” I say with a sly smile

My old man laughed to that “finally, who is she” he asked

“Beatrice”

He freeze “the CEO of the partner company”

“yes”

“No, that can’t be” he says with a grim face “that can’t be” he repeats again

“Can I see her picture” he demands

I brought out my phone to show her picture and a message popped up in my phone; from Tristy

I slid in and read the message; I stood up immediately distressed “Pa, I have to go”

“What, any problem?”

“Bea and Tristy are in trouble”

He coughs on hearing Bea’s name “I am coming with you’

“No, please” I argue “I can handle it alone”

“I insist” he said closing his brief case in a hurry

I have no time to waste time so I made no move to argue again. Outside he insisted that we use his car for better security, I accepted that without delay; I switched on my GPS to trail Tristy phone as indicated in the message.

“Where do we go from here” I hesitate before giving him a brief explanation of what has been going on

He got angry at what I hide from him ‘Come on son, how can you do a thing like that without telling your old man; I could have helped”

I kept quiet

“Now don’t miss the track, let me make a few calls”

“Okay sir” I nod and speed off convinced that everything will fall into place

*************

*Tristy*

“Enough of the beating; I hope they will talk now” Nora said and puff out cigarette smoke in the air

“Mother” I cried out in pain

She smiled, walked to my face and give me a dirty slap “I am not your mother, you brat” she spit out

Fresh streams of tears fall out from my eyes; I can take the pain from the beating but not my mother slap and denial

Tristy lay down all bruised; we have given up all hope of any rescue from Chris but Tristy never showed any sign of handing over the drive

. Her courage surprised me.

I smiled a little when our guard friend walked in; seeing him gave us a glint of hope

“Guard them and make sure nothing like food or water smells close to them; I have to go and wait for my other prey” she ordered and walks out with her personal guard

Our guard friend waited for her go through the door and walked close to me; he pats my messy hair to reveal my tear stained face, peered into my eyes and brought out a picture

“Can you recognize this girl” he asks pointing at the picture

My eyes tear up as I see the picture I snapped with Benita at her birthday party.  I just nod covering my mouth from shouting; I really regret my inability to save her.

“How did you get the picture” I ask in between sobs

He put back the picture and removed the hoodie he always use to cover his face

“Don’t you remember this face” He ask in a husky voice

On a closer look I remembered him, Benita only Brother Frank studying abroad. we had a history together; Benita always say that he wants his brother to marry me so that we will never be separated in this world and that kicked up my friendship with him then but now I know they are all in the past, our friendship will never be the same

I start crying again and hung my head “I am very sorry for causing her death”

“You should be; I was angry at you the whole time but I realized that staying angry without doing anything will never yield result”  he said and cover back his hoodie

“Corporate with me and we will be out of here in no time” I nod immediately happy that he still works with us

“You still have the drive, I guess”

Tristy nod searching for the drive and hand it over to him “hold it cus any more torture and I will hand it over”

He collects it and put it safely into his pocket “I am not doing this for you but for my dead sister”

I nod quickly and he step away from us

The door bang open and Nora walked it “Go outside and check, I think we have a guest”

He bow slightly and left

********* (Chris)

“this is where the track device stopped” I said and killed the engine. We are in front of a deserted gigantic building

My Dad jumped out of the car immediately “follow me, I know this place”

“Dad”

“its Nora that took them; this was our proposed business building before we had a crash”

“You know Nora” I asked surprised that my Dad knows someone of such

“Yes; just follow me” he says walking down to where I believe is an underground entrance

“Dad, what’s really going on; you shouted about Bea and now Nora”

He stopped in his track “Son, you will understand soon; let’s go and save them first”

“I am not moving an inch until I am cleared” I say determined to bring out truth from my old man

He never flinched from what I said; looking at him walking determined towards the basement, I gave up my stance and walked hurriedly to catch up with him

Our legs echoed through the whole building “Sweet Jesus, please let us come out of this place in one piece” I said a short prayer and continue trailing behind my now agile Pa
