(Do Not Copy Or Repost!)
Dave knocked on the door opposite him. He had followed the directions Louis gave him.
He knocked again and the door opened automatically. He entered the building and liked around. A hall like room was what he saw first. It was empty, save for the tons and tons of gun brief cases, making him wonder how much guns Louis has.
He walked towards the door he saw at the end of the hall and opened it. He gasped upon seeing the state Louis was.
His palm was covered with blood, his face was pale, and he shivered slightly like he caught the flu.
Dave walked towards him in haste.
"What happened to you?" He questioned, withdrawing his hand from Louis' forehead which was very hot.
Standing up, Dave walked towards the toilet where he filled a bowl with water from the tap. He came out of the toilet and walked towards Louis.
Louis raised an eyebrow when he saw Dave bringing the bowl of water.
"You have a running temperature." Dave answered to his questioning gaze.
Louis relaxed as Dave pressed his forehead with the hand towel and closed his eyes, moaning in satisfaction. His head was seriously aching him but he was feeling relieved.
"What happened Louis?" Dave asked again, now cleaning his bloody palm. Louis winced a bit as Dave cleaned his wounded hands.
"Charlie happened." He simply answered.
Dave looked at him with a confuse gaze, still cleaning the hands.
"He set me up with the cops and gave me a fake company property." He summarized.
"What company's property?" Dave questioned ignorantly, still keeping the confused look.
"John's." He answerd curtly.
"Same John? Ann's father?" He inquired, Louis nodding positively to his questions.
"But why do you need the company's property?"
"So I can lecture them?" Louis replied sarcastically.
"Really?" Dave drawled.
"So I can take over it of course." He nonchalantly said, standing up and going to the bathroom.
"I wanna pee." He entered the toilet without looking back at Dave who was already thinking about that.
"Why so you want to do that? You don't need to". Dave attacked him as soon as he came out of the toilet.
"It's mine of your business what I do." He gruffly answered.
"Why am I here?" Dave enquired. "Seems like you have everything figured out, all your plans, well laid."
"I need your help." His tone, a little bit calm.
Dave remained silent as Louis spoke. talking about his palms. He didn't agree or disagree but he knew one thing, Louis is a psychopath and he won't allow him to win. This time, he won't go scot free.
"So what you're saying now is that I'm gonna kidnap Evan?" Dave questioned, when Louis finished listing his plans.
Louis nodded in affirmation.
"That's after killing Dolly and Stephanie right?"
He nodded again.
"So that threatening Charlie won't be that hard." Louis stated.
"That isn't hard to do at all." Dave said. "How long will it take for the preparation of everything you'll be needing?" He asked.
"A month." Louis paused, as if trying to calculate. "Yes, a month." He reaffirmed.
"So should I execute Dolly and Stephanie after a month?" He questioned.
"I would've preferred that you do so now but of you prefer it to be in a month's time, so be it."
Louis and Dave adjusted the plan a little more and when it was getting late, Dave excused himself to go home.
Leaving the safehouse, he went straight to Stephanie's house. He pressed the pin on the door lock and it opened. He went in and saw Stephanie cuddling with Dolly, seeing a movie.
He remained where he was for almost thirty minutes, just reminiscing on the past. He's really missed his family. He should've been with them but for several reasons, he wasn't.
"Won't you come take a sit Mr?" Dolly offered, making Dave come back to his senses immediately. He walked towards the couch they were on and winked at Stephanie who was turning her neck to look at him.
Stephanie immediately looked to her front, almost regretting why she looked back in the first place.
"Are you trying to flirt with my mom? Dolly threw at him.
"Hope this chair is safe?" He threw back at her, ignoring her initial question, sitting on the couch.
"Why were you flirting with my mom?" Dolly asked again, not letting him go easily.
"Is there something I can eat in this house?" He turned to face Stephanie. "that is not you?"
"Really Mister!" Dolly exclaimed turning to look at her mum who had turned pink.
"You're so dirty minded." She faced her mum again.
"Mum, why don't you go get your ex-husband something to eat.
Stephanie stood up and left for the kitchen, internally thanking Dolly for saving her out if the awkward situation.
"Whatsup! Why are you here? You're definitely not here to eat our food or flirt with my mum." Dolly said.
""You're partially right 'cos I'm hungry an I enjoy flirting with your mum, just like old times." Dave stroke on his beardless chin, looking like he was going back in time.
"But then," he suddenly said, "I have a very vital information to give, and of course, how we can catch Dave."
Dolly stretched her arm and removed a bug from his shirt. She threw it down and trampled it with her leg.
"You can talk now." She said, like they weren't just about to be heard.
Stephanie walked in as Dave opened his mouth to speak. His mouth watered as he salivated, gulping down nothing when he perceived the aroma of the food.
It was his favorite food, still his favorite.
Dolly smiled internally when her mum served Dave the meal. It was a five- minutes meal which was Dave's favorite and by the look of things, it still is.
Her mum prepared a new meal because of him. She knew she still loves tho she denied it when she asked her. Even if she had affirmed it, for now, they can't be together.
Stephanie felt a sort of warmth spread through her heart as Dave ate the meal. She can't keep on denying it, she still loves Dave.
