"Let's go" she couldn't have gone far" One of the men chasing Mandy said and they both ran in the opposite direction before she finally let go of her breath she didn't know she was holding.
After a couple of seconds, she stood up and began to run again. This time, she summoned all the strength left inside of her and ran as far as her legs could carry her.
By the time she got to the lonely road, she couldn't see any car pass.
She kept running along the road and thankfully, she saw a car approaching. At first, she was scared that it could be them but when the car drew nearer, she discovered it was an elderly woman driving.
She kept waving her bleeding hands but the car didn't stop. She lost hope when the car drove past her but just as she has given up because her legs were beginning to give up on her, the car revised back slowly and stopped before her.
"Hello, young lady" The elderly woman greeted the moment she wind down her glass.
"Hello ma, please help me" she pleaded with tears streaming her face.
What happened to you? Why are you here in a lonely environment like this? She inquires.
"Ma'am, please help me" This was all Mandy kept saying, and the woman who also was frightened from the way she looked allowed her in.
"Come in," She said
"Thank you" Mandy sat down on the passenger's seat and they drove off.
Where are you headed? The woman asked
"Santa Claus lane" Mandy replied.
"That's far from here," The elderly woman said.
Mandy became worried.
Do you even know where you are right now? She asked but Mandy nodded her head.
"This is snowman lane, my dear," She said and Mandy's mouth went Agape.
"Can I have your cellphone? I need to speak to someone urgently, please" she pleaded and she did hand over her phone to her.
She tried Bianca's number and it began to ring.
.....
"Bro, it's mandy calling Bianca's phone," Dickson said because the phones were with him while Kingsley was driving.
He packed his car and answered the call.
📞 Hello mandy
📞Mr. Kingsley? She called surprised he was answering her call.
📞Yes. Where and you and is Bianca with you?
📞No. No. She's not. Please don't tell me she's missing too" She said with trembling hands"
📞I'm sorry that is it. I can't find her. Where are you? Kingsley asked.
📞I'm at snowman lane. I escaped from where I was held captive. I found someone who helped in lifting me. I just left the dungeon I was kept" she explained.
📞Fuck" Kingsley coursed.
📞Where is Bianca? What happened to her? She asked
📞I don't know but don't worry we'll find her, I just need you to be safe too. Just tell me exactly where you are, and I'll come to get you" Kingsley said.
📞Okay," she quickly ended the call and sent him the address of where she had told the woman to drop her.
.....
"You go to her and I'll handle Irys," Dickson said but he didn't even mind him.
"Please, trust me on this. Go get mandy while I go make Irys talk. Please" Dickson pleaded.
Alright," He said while Dickson quickly stepped out of the car and took a taxi straight to Irys apartment.
Luckily, the evil lady was at home enjoying the so-called peace she has.
Dickson rang the bell, waiting for her to open, and immediately after she did, he pushed it open and pinned her to the wall.
What the hell are you doing? Irys yelled at him.
Irys, I will only ask you this once and I need you to speak the truth else, I'll kill you right here. Where is Bianca?
She laughed sarcastically the moment Dickson asked that question.
What? Are you now screwing her p***y too? She asked with a naughty look on her face but Dickson suddenly loosed and tightened his grip on her neck, making her choke.
Let's do this again. Where the hell is Bianca? Dickson yelled and this time with his hands aiming at sniffing life out of Irys.
"I...d..don.....don't....kknnn....know" she struggles for air to breathe.
Don't fucking lie to me. Where is Bianca? Dickson flung her to the couch and she yelped in pain.
Irys started coughing seriously with the fear of what Dickson was going to do next. She knows him to be more temperamental than his brother and she wasn't even ready to die just yet but at the same time, she can't reveal what happened to him.
She started to crawl onto the couch as she saw him approaching him.
"Irys, I know you're responsible for this or maybe you have an accomplice but I will advise you to let the innocent girl be. She has done nothing to you" Dickson said.
Nothing you say? She said.
She took my man from me and you call that nothing? She asked
You don't even love this so-called man. You're only obsessed with the money you get from him and now an innocent girl that has nothing to do with my brother has to suffer? What exactly is your problem? Dickson asked
"Well, I'm glad she's missing and I pray she doesn't come back," she said bitterly...
Of course, she's coming back and you'll take me where to find her now else, you'll end up spending the rest of your life in jail. Do you hear me? Dickson said in form of a whisper.
"No," she said and Dickson landed a deafening slap on her face that made her scream in pain...
Now!!!! He screamed and she jumped from the couch.
"I didn't plan this but I think I have an idea where we can find her," She said.
"Then speak" he screamed
"The Douglas unfinished company," She said.
What? Dickson asked in shock but she didn't say a word.
"You just pray she's there and safe" Dickson said and left.
Dickson called his brother and he confirmed he was already on his way from picking up Mandy.
Dickson rushed down to the site and waited for Kingsley...
"This place looks empty," Mandy said when she arrived with Kingsley but Kingsley didn't say a word...
The trio began to climb the staircase since the lift was still under construction.
Just as they approach the 5th floor, they saw clothed blood on the staircase. It looked fresh despite its clothing as a result of the cold.
"No....no....no" Mandy began to cry and even Kingsley was beginning to panic.
Kingsley ran ahead of them because Dickson was already supporting Mandy with his shoulder because of lack of strength. He got to the last floor and searched everywhere but no one was there except for the blood On the staircase.
Fuck!!!!!!!!
"She's not here" Kingsley yelled.
