The fugitive - Episode 7

 

Flash back:

Last night: 
John moncrieff returned to his condominium around 6.o'clock in the evening ...he sighed, tired to the throat after a long day of some hellish case to cover up at work, he glance up when he noticed an image only to meet with  the gaze of his mum, his eyes held hers as she gave him an innocent smile and anger but spread through every bone in his body ..
It took all of his strength not to go right ahead and throw her out of his apartment when he saw at his door step this morning , 
What the hell is she still doing here, she lost every right as his mother a long time ago 

"How is work today john?"

The temptation not to respond appalled to John but he was already short tempered and having to deal with her didn't rate high on his list to pass the wee hours of the night

"Fine thanks., what the hell are you still doing here, thought you left " he said as he swept his way into his living room tossing the keys of his bike on his end table ,,

"John I know you are mad at me but you've gat to listen to me ...we've got a lot to talk about"

"Skip the bullsh*t Amelia ,  we've got nothing to talk about okay" he said  impatiently releasing the knot of his tie at the same tine ...

"Of course we do son" Mrs Amelia returned in an high pitched tone, at that
.john arched his eye brow at her ...

"seriously, Mum leave my apartment this minute, I don't wanna see your face you got it, if you do not leave as have said am gonna throw you out" he picked the words gently, shook his head and raced ahead to his room to change into a much lighter cloth to his surprise he came back to find his mum still in the living room this time she was pouring herself a cup of wine ,

My God is this woman crazy 

, the muscle in his jaw were working as he stare at her, he didn't wanna do what was in his mind, really he didn't, the urge to rail at her, shake her and scream at her in frustration and finally throw her out the street ..., he was thirty now , she had been gone for good eighteen years, leaving him at the orphanage with no goddamn good reason, she left, she left him and he had did nothing but spent many days and night crying at the orphanage for his mama,
the other kids had only made fun of him, they even gave him a name ...

Crying johnny

It seems those years had taken whatever love he had left for her away...she was nothing but a curse to his life,  

"Mum what the hell are you doing here, why do you come looking for me mum, answer me dammit"

John realize tears brimming her face and he had did nothing but muttered a curse, he clenched his jaw together and reined in his temper, what he wasn't quite sure about was why he was standing here waiting for her to speak instead of doing the main thing ...throwing her out and banging his door on her face ...

" lord honey, I know I've hurt you a lot and am sorry ,, am sincerely sorry but you need to know this truth , that's why I came looking for you "

"Why did you left me at the orphanage and ran off mum" 

he didn't care about all she wanted to say, he wouldn't believe a thing coming out of her mouth anyways... This was the one question that has been locking in his chest right from eleven, he just couldn't understand why a mum could leave his son and ran off without looking back, his face was blank mask as anger simmered in his eyes...

"I admit I left you john, but not fully,"

"why  mum !!! Why why why damn it" John screamed in frustration slamming his hand on the edge of his sofa

"to start up a family okay" Amelia replied almost immediately

"mum ," john said as his eyes clouded with tears ,, all the night he had spent in the cold feeling so lonely longing for a mothers care ...but she ....she had been out there in the comforting arms of another man"

" have been sending you money john, I only told them at the orphanage to keep the secret from you, to tell them they were the one sponsoring you instead"

"What !"

John lifted his brows  this time, he was definitely going out of his head, he didn't wanna see this woman dammit

" so you've been sending those money, the ones I spent through highs school and college and you didn't dim it fit to get in touch with me not even once, no letters , nothing  huh mum what kind of human being are you  " 

"I'm sorry john, just that "

"mum I don't wanna hear anymore please leave "

He walked aggressively towards the door and opened it wide for her ....

" for Christ sake mum please leave and thanks for the sponsorship am gonna pay you back, and if i say back i mean every dime," he demonstrated

" john you can throw me out after saying this ... 

i read from a news paper about Dane garret murdering his father, you are the deputy in charge of that case john ...."
She said hurriedly as john grab hold of her arm and propelled her towards the door  

 "Dane is your twin brother " she stare back at him 

"please listen to me john"

Brows furrowed in frustration, john threw his hand into airs, as he raced ahead to grab her suit case

"mum please go away from here I don't wanna hear no more .

"Am saying the truth john, please listen and hear how it all happened,"

" if you do not believe me she gave you both a mark at the first letter of her name d for Debra "

"It all happened when " 

"Get the FCK out of here" 

John threw her brief case out and slammed the door behind him ....

"I'll be leaving first flight tomorrow morning, it takes off at 10.o clock my son, am sorry. , but please you have to get Dane garret out of prison, he is your twin brother" Amelia said behind the door

Frustration verse anger wore over john all at once ...slowly his legs gave out on him as tears locking at the corner of his eyes finds his way out

********

"Twin what, how is that possible john" Theresa said softly

John didn't respond for several moment then he suddenly shot his gaze up at her

"I need to find her, I need to get to her before she leaves,,"

"Who"

"My mum of course, I didn't tell you, she came back yesterday from only God knows where, I need to know all what happened, how is it possible that garret and I ...no no it can't be"

Theresa peeped out the window and gazed back at him

" I think Dane is taking your bike "

"Let him take it and escape, is your car in good shape " 

"Yes it is "...

" I need to get to the airport before 10am "

"go get your car keys"

"alright John"

.Theresa raced inside and out with the keys, he was about taking it from her but she grab hold of his left hand instead 

" am coming with you john and I'll drive"

Dane :

I rocketed out with my brain and heart beeping to the highest degree ...the sound of siren roaring in the air at a far distance , thank God it hadn't gotten here...I gazed around only to find john moncrieff  bike packed at a corner...
I raced like a loosed brat and jumped on it, thankfully he left his keys there, unable to hold my curiosity ...fighting with the thought on why he didn't raced after me with his pistol, I glanced back to meet with both of their form, Theresa and himself, Theresa stare at my direction as they both raced towards her car ...hunkering down against the twelve speed bike instead, I stood on the  pedals, the bike swaying side to side beneath me as I started it up 
The muscles in my shoulders and thighs bunched up with effort as i speed away taking the left root and coasting down the hills......
Well fact was
I have no destination whatsoever in mind as I bent over the handle bars and letting the bike fly along with the airs ...

*******

And let it begin...
