"There's something off about this place," Leroy said to Tracy as they both sat in the field enjoying the vast beauty of nature around them.
"You worry too much Leroy everything will be fine"
"I am sure you're saying this because of the cameras that are not working"
"But don't worry three cameras cannot disturb us"
"Moreover, those cameras are for empty places nothing can go wrong"
"We have just thirty days in here and we are good to go"
"Whatever is in that will I don't care I just want to spend the rest of my life with you," Tracy said
As she put her arms around Leroy and gave him a deep kiss.
Leroy kissed her back and then pulled away suddenly.
"Tracy, are you sure about this"? He asked with a worried look on his face.
"I always felt that you were just going with the flow with me"
"I am not as rich as you are and I might not be able to take care of you," he said.
"Do I look like I need you to take care of me" Tracy retorted at him.
"You know that whatever my dad has willed to me will be enough to take care of you and me forever and your mum included"
"So don't ever bring up the money issue again" she warned
"I am sorry my love"
"I just had to state it," He said
"Let's go inside and check out what's going on"
****************************************
"Hey, Max!" Michael called
"Is everything ready"?
"Yes sir, everything is ready" Maxwell replied
"But I am not comfortable with what we are about to do," Maxwell said with a worried look on his face.
"Common shut your traps"! Michael shunned Maxwell
"Do you want to remain a popper and a servant all your life"? Michael asked Maxwell
"We are giving you a chance to change your life and change your status"
"And you want to open your mouth and spill nonsense"
"It's either you do this or you join them in their unfortunate end"
"You already know the details of what we are about to do so we cannot let you go"
"You're already in too deep"
Maxwell knew that what Michael had just said was true
"All he needed to do was push a button and he will become a millionaire"
He felt so much guilt knowing that he was going to betray his friends
He thought of Leroy, Rebecca, and so many other people.
Tracy and Gabriel but then he thought about the one million dollars that were promised him.
It was too good an offer to refuse
****************************************
"I haven't seen Gabriel since we arrived," Stacy said
"Has anyone seen him"?
"That's true" Michael nodded.
"He needs to be around for everything to go smoothly" he added as they both chilled beside the pool.
"But I don't understand what you and Sierra are planning to do"
"I just hope you guys are not planning to do something sinister," Stacy asked with a scared look on her face.
"Just know that whatever we are planning is for your good"
"And stop worrying yourself about what you're not supposed to bother about" Michael replied
While they were walking into the house, a plane flew over the island.
"That's not supposed to be," Stacy said.
"Don't worry it's all part of the plan" Micheal replied with a wicked smile on his face
Meanwhile, immediately Leroy saw the plane fly over he went straight to the security post to check out what was happening.
Tracy followed him closely from behind
"What is it"? Tracy asked.
"Is there a problem"?
"No aircraft is permitted to fly over here except it be authorized by us"
"And all the boats have been sent away so we are not expecting anyone"
"But this jet seems like it wants to land on the island and it's a Luther jet"!
"Who could be coming here"? he said rhetorically.
They both hurriedly ran to the minuter mark only to find Stacy and Michael along with Sierra already there waiting for the plane to come to a halt.
"Expecting anyone"? Leroy asked them in surprise
"Yeah, we have a surprise for you" Sierra replied with a smile on her face.
Then the doors of the plane opened and the stairs were let down.
Gabriel stepped out of the plane and waved at them
They all waved back but Leroy turned to Sierra with a surprised look
"What was seeing Gabriel so surprising about"?
"After all, he was supposed to be here earlier"
Leroy thought to himself
"I know what you're thinking," Sierra said "but calm down and just watch"
Suddenly Mrs. Brot stepped out on to steps of the plane
Everyone including Tracy gasped in surprise
But Leroy didn't have a good feeling about all these so he turned to Sierra who was smiling at him
"Aren't you happy to see your mum"? Sierra inquired
"We all had it planned for you," she said referring to herself, Michael and Stacy
"Of course, I am happy to see my mum" he replied
"But she's not supposed to be here, it wasn't planned that she would be here"
"I would have preferred it if she stayed at home," he said with a stern look on his face
"Oh, come on"!
"Don't be a killjoy" Sierra said to him
"Don't worry it's going to be fun"
"We are all going to have a great time here for the next thirty days"
Mrs. Brot ran into the arms of her son she was so glad to see him while Gabriel exchanged pleasantries with everyone
When they walked back into the mansion Leroy took Gabriel to the side
"Welcome sir," he said to Gabriel warmly but looking agitated.
"Sir, I have a question to ask," he said
"Okay, Leroy, what is it"?
"Were you part of the plan to surprise me with my mum's coming"?
"Surprise"? Gabriel asked.
"I don't think it was a surprise"
"Sierra called me and told me that you were not feeling too comfortable"
"And that you may need your mum around since you were talking about her so much"
"And since I had some things to finish up with before coming over I decided to pick her up and bring her here"
"I don't know anything about the surprise," He said
Leroy leaned against the wall while deep in thought.
"Is something the matter Leroy"? Gabriel asked
"Yes! Sierra told me that this was a surprise"
"And there's just something off about this I feel so," he said
"Nevermind," Gabriel said
"They might just be up to one of their usual pranks"
"But I think it's a good thing that your mum is around"
"Yes, it is" Leroy replied
"But I just can't seem to shake off the feeling that there's something wrong"
"If there is, then put the whole island on lockdown if it makes you feel better" Gabriel suggested
"After all, there are no coming in nor going out for the next thirty days"
"So you might as well do that if it makes you feel any better"
"Okay Gabs that's what I am going to do," Leroy said
He went straight to the security room and initiated the lockdown protocol
And metal gates rose out from the ground surrounding the whole Island.
Making it impossible for anyone to enter the island via the sea or on foot.
The only way into the island was by air but permission had to be taken before landing.
"Has anyone seen Sierra, Micheal, and Stacy since your arrival"? Tracy asked Gabriel as they sat in the living room.
"That's true I haven't set my eyes on them since they came out to welcome Leroy's mum and me"
"Can you go get them please"?
"I would love to sit with them and talk"
Tracy left Gabriel's presence to go and fetch Sierra, Michael, and Stacy.
Meanwhile back in his room, Leroy was with his mum.
"What's going on son"? she asked.
" You don't look too good and you don't seem happy to see me"
"It's not that mum, it's just that" He stammered
"It's just that what! You're not happy to see your mum"? She interjected
"Tell me the truth what is going on"?
"Mum, I feel that there is a sinister plan"
"Then come off it!" Mrs. Brot said
"You have come again with your military speculations"
"No mum, that's not it"
"They told me your visit was a surprise for me yet they lied to Gabriel that I asked for you to come"
"Yes, that's what Gabriel told me"
"You didn't request for me to come"?
Mrs. Brot asked in surprise
"No mum," he said
"If Mr. Henry Luther wanted you to be here he would have clearly stated it in the will but he didn't"
"And you have nothing to do here except keep me company"
"Besides we have no idea what's going on so I wouldn't want you to be here mum" Leroy replied
"But I wonder why Sierra would lie to Gabriel about all these"
"Me too," Leroy said
Meanwhile back in the living room, Tracy returned to meet Gabriel alone
"Where are they"? Gabriel asked
"I searched their rooms and I found none of them" Tracy replied with a worried look on her face
"And why are you looking so disturbed," Gabriel asked
"You know them they are probably on one of their escapades around somewhere on the island"
"I won't be surprised if they had snuck in some friends to be with them during this period"
Gabriel said while shaking his head in disappointment
"Yes, I understand that" Tracy replied
"But what about Sierra"?
"She won't sit making friends which you have no idea what Sierra can do"
"I am sure she snuck in someone"
"Sierra can't do without sex and that is a fact"! Gabriel Luther said
