"Your mum asked me to check on you." He replied flatly. "And by the way, Abi will come to check on you later today so behave well." Adam said before he left the ward on seeing the nurse come in.
Rhea went back home early in the morning and went to general Ahmed's ward after. She decided to stay with him for a while so she asked Adam to stay with Silas till she gets back.
After Adam left the ward, he went straight to an abandoned factory instead of the office he would have gone to. He paced back and forth and only stopped when he saw a man in black suit at the entrance.
"You seem to want this more than I do Mr Benjones..." the man smiled as he stood in front of him.
"Get to the point Mr Aari." Adam said flatly.
"Alright fine." The man said with a sigh. "That new general is pretty smart. He has gotten a lead on us." the man said seriously. "It won't be long before he leads all this to you." he concluded.
"I'm not interested in that. He can never get to me so tell me what I want to know." Adam said while gritting his teeth.
"It's done." The man said as he passed the flash drive with him to Adam. "Good."
"You know what to do." Adam said over his shoulder as he walked away towards the exit.
Priya woke up pretty late today so she wasted no time as she took her bath and headed to the living room. Her apartment although not too big, was quite spacious with a little furniture here and there. She had two bedrooms with a kitchen and a living room. there was also a little extension making up the dining with three chairs round a table.
When she got downstairs, she once again smelled that intoxicating smell from the kitchen. The living room was cleaned and the furniture were dusted. She went to the kitchen to see her mother dressed simply in a blue gown as she stood by the gas with a pink apron on her.
Clara turned around to see Priya already freshened up and she gave her a smile as she walked towards her. "How are you feeling darling?" Clara asked as she checked Priya's temperature. Priya embraced her mom with all her heart and that one hug was enough answer to Clara's question.
"C'mon now, let's have something to eat and go see Silas okay..." Clara broke their hug and received a gasp from Priya at her statement.
"Don't worry dear, I know everything." Clara reassured her. She went back to the cooking pot and after stirring for a while, she served the dishes and they both proceeded to the dining for breakfast.
"Good morning Monica." Marco's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone immediately Monica answered the call. "Morning Marco... how was your night?" Monica asked as she tidied her hair by the dressing table.
"It was good. I was wondering if we could have coffee later today, I would like to speak to you." Marco said.
"Alright. I'll see you later then." Monica replied before she hung up. "Monica let's go! It's time for breakfast."Bella called out from the door and Monica joined her after setting down her hair brush.
Marco and Abi just arrived at Silas ward immediately after he took his drugs. It was already noon so they decided to take a stroll in the garden with him.
"Silas..."Marco called out absent minded."Uncle..." Silas responded. They just arrived at the garden so Marco and Abi sat on a bench with Silas facing them.
"Can you tell me the appearance of the man who drove the car that night." Marco asked seriously.
"Silas fell silent as he feel deep in thought." Uncle, that night was dark. I could only make out the appearance of two men. One was driving and the other was passed out." Silas said as he stared at Marco.
"Can you identify the men if you wee to see them?" Marco asked again. "The only thing I could make out was the red hair of the driver." Silas responded seriously.
"That's alright. Don't say this to anyone okay." Marcos seriously told Silas as the boy stared at him in confusion." Okay." He responded at last but still had a tinge of doubt on his face.
"What do you think Marco." Abi asked with her sweet voice. She was in her twenties and possessed the the bearing of a young lady from a prominent family. She was always dressed in branded outfit which complements her aura. A respectful and modest girl she is. Such a reserved and well mannered girl was perfect for everyone's heartthrob.
"I have a few deductions. But for now, I'll have to verify to prevent any misunderstandings later on." Marco said while staring at the clouds.
Abi chatted with Silas a little while and they both left after Rhea arrived some hours later. It was already late afternoon when they left the hospital and Abi was hungry so she requested for the driver to take them to some nearby restaurant. Marco had no objections so the driver drove to a nearby western restaurant.
When they arrived, the place was a little scanty as most people had their lunch at early hours but they both walked to the second floor and a private room. Unexpectedly, Marco bumped into Monica on their way to their room and they were both surprised to see each other.
" Marco!! I never thought we would meet you here." Bella who was behind Monica exclaimed with a surprised and excited expression on her face.
"Who's this Marco?" Abi called out softly as she drew closer to Marco and hooked her hands around his. She as a woman felt threatened on seeing another woman who is more beautiful than her that she couldn't help but safeguard what is hers.
"This is Monica and her best friend Bella. They school in the same university I transferred to." Marco replied. "We came to have lunch but didn't expect to see you." Monica spoke up.
"What a coincidence. We are also here to have lunch. Why don't you join us. The more the merrier right.." Marco smiled as he awaited their reply.
"Um..."
"Alright! Its our pleasure." Bella exclaimed excitedly.
