Nesisa failed to sleep. She was fidgeting on the sofa when she heard from outside, the sound of the gate opening. In haste, she peeped through the window and sure enough, more than five cars were driving into their parking space. She ran to the curtains and other hidden places, checking if all her settings were in place. The whole family, except for baby Elvis, were sleeping on the sofas, with Jeremy on the couch. Nesisa had personally given that instruction. Nesisa's mother was the one babysitting Elvis at her home. Nesisa quickly picked her phone and dialed 911.
"We have an intruder at our home! Please come! Help!" she then gave the address and ended the call.
"They're here!" She said.
Sharon and Jacob instantly woke up. The elderly lady was hesitant. "What if they ask why we're in the lounge during this hour of the night?"
"I will do all the talking!" Nesisa responded.
Nesisa seemed more than sure of what she was doing, but at that moment Jacob regretted why he had agreed to the plan. He only knew sketches of the plan, and he wished if only he had asked her to give a detailed account of what exactly it was that she planned to do.
Outside the house, the men were polishing up a few issues, leading to them taking a bit of time before coming in. When Dream knocked at the door, he heard a voice asking.
"Who is there?"
"Open up!" he commanded.
Nesisa opened the door, and Jacob immediately felt useless. His wife was taking the lead. He was the man, wasn't he? Why had he let her take the lead? What if she lost her life in the process? Oh, Jacob hated himself.
Dream entered the house, and Vine himself followed, and then the doctor and three other men.
They looked around and Vine's eyes landed on Jeremy, who was sleeping on the couch, as per Nesisa's instructions.
"Why is he sleeping there? And why are you all in the lounge at this time?"
"He is too sick, and we all couldn't leave him here. We're watching him, and deciding whether or not to take him back to the hospital." Nesisa responded.
"Dream, take all their phone!" Vince said, and Dream did as commanded.
Vine moved closer; fixed his gaze on Jeremy, and spat in his face. Jeremy had never had anyone spitting on him before; moreso in the face. He felt as if he was a piece of trash, and he wiped off the spit using his hand. He did not utter a word.
"Do the procedure," Vine gave the order.
The doctor, seemingly scared, moved forward and opened his bag. He took out a number of items, placing them on the table.
"What are you going to do?" Jacob asked.
"This guy here needs a vasectomy," Vine said.
"No, I don't!" Jeremy screamed, his pleading eyes landing on Nesisa.
Was that the plan? Was he supposed to follow through it all?
Just then, the police siren was heard, but Vine and his men did not worry about it at all.
Three policemen entered, and they had guns.
"Put your hands where I can see them!" one of them said, and the bodyguards did as instructed.
"You too!" he said, pointing at Vine. Vine turned around, and when the officer saw his face, he froze.
"Oh, Mr Pinkerton!" he gasped.
"Can you please excuse us?" Vine said to the cop.
"I…what are you planning to do to the man, sir?" the officer asked.
"The man needs a vasectomy," Vine responded.
"I do not! They're forcing me." Jeremy cried.
"Sir?" the officer raised his brows at vine.
Vine pulled out his phone and called Ray.
"Ray. Your men are disturbing me. Please come take them."
When he ended the call, he looked at the cops and told them, "your boss is coming for you."
The doctor was kneeling on the floor, looking very uncomfortable.
"Go ahead!" Vine commanded.
"Sir Vine, why don't we wait until these cops leave? Just so that we won't have many witnesses?"
"What's your problem today? You keep opposing my word. If you value your life, start working now, before you kiss life goodbye. If you're not careful, you will be with Gareth before the day ends. I will do to you the exact same thing I did with Gareth." Vine said in his usual low authoritative voice.
The man looked up with fearful eyes, "what did you do to him? I mean Gareth…?"
"I helped him to kiss goodbye to life," Vine stated proudly. "Anyone who messes with me dies! Get to work!" he barked.
"Yes," the man nodded his head and started wearing a pair of gloves.
"No, you cannot do this!" Jeremy wailed.
He stood up from the couch and hid behind his brother. The whole family was now waiting for Nesisa to do whatever it was that she had promised to do to save the family, yet she did not move.
"Remove those pants," Dream said.
He was loving his new position of authority; and he was glad that there were many issues arising; causing him to use his new authority so many times. Dream continued to promise himself in his heart that he was going to do better than Gareth.
"No! I cannot do that!" Jeremy said with a pleading voice.
"Well, you will do it." Vine said.
Dream wanted to go forward to 'help' Jeremy remove his pair of trousers, but Vine stopped him.
"Jeremy Rain, you will remove the trousers yourself, and you shall undergo the surgical procedure here in this house. Now."
"How can I be naked in front of my sister in law and my mother? And besides, I don't want to undergo the procedure."
"You can't be naked in front of these two? I thought you loved being naked in front of women, especially those who are other people's wives. There's nothing new there, remove the trousers!" Vine snickered.
"Vine please…"
"You need the vasectomy. You don't deserve to have a child ever." Vine continued.
"What did I ever do to you, Vine? It was you who took my girl, and above that you abducted and tortured me! I had to pretend to have committed suicide, and to run away all because you wanted me dead, and you're still on my case?" Jeremy cried.
"I should have killed you during that time when I abducted you."
"You enjoy killing people!" Jeremy screamed.
"I kill anyone who crosses my path. Rule number two, he who stands in my way, I eliminate. And there is nothing anyone can do to me," the young master said.
While he spoke, Ray, who happened to be the newly appointed Police Captain, entered the house, in his pajamas.
"What are you doing here?" he asked the cops.
"Sir, the Pinkertons' grandson is forcing this man to have a vasectomy, and he has confessed to killing that man, Gareth." The vocal policeman responded.
"Get lost! Go out now!" Ray screamed at the officers..
The three cops disappeared; leaving with them all the hope that Sharon, Jacob and Jeremy had.
"Officer, is it right for you to watch while a man is being abused in such a way, and allow one man to treat another man like this? I thought that as police, your job is to protect the civilians. And I also thought that no one was above the law." Nesisa said.
"You think we're all equal? Not at all," Ray laughed.
He looked at Vine and smiled. "Young master! What do we have here?"
"He's going to undergo a minor surgery. Vasectomy" Vine explained.
"Oh, he doesn't need to have kids anymore?" Ray laughed.
"Not anymore." Vine responded.
Jeremy hid behind Jacob, and Vine's men had to pull him, literally.
"Officer, you have to help me! I am being forced to do this!" Jeremy cried.
Ray, amused by the sight, helped by pulling Jeremy and using his might to press the young man on the couch.
"If the young master says you need this vasectomy; then you sure do," Ray chuckled.
While he held him fixed in place, Dream pulled off Jeremy's trousers, leaving him in a pair of boxers and a t-shirt. Jeremy did his best to kick and defend himself, but Ray was holding him down with great might.
"Noo! No, Nesisa, help me! Nesisa please!" Jeremy cried.
"Nesisa, do something!" Sharon bawled in front of her daughter in law.
"Nesisa?" Jacob felt helpless but he too had no option but to look up to Nesisa at that moment.
Since Nesisa was the one who had come up with the idea of facing the Pinkertons; everyone hoped that she had planned a way out.
With her arms folded on her chest, Nesisa screamed, "Stop!"
Everyone looked at her. The authority in her voice made them all surprised; Vine included. From where was the woman getting that power; to shout out commands to the young master; and also to the Police Captain? For a while Ray stared at her, then he laughed.
"What are you going to do if we don't stop?" he smirked. "I am the Police Captain; no-one will ever believe that I was part of this, even if you tell them. Instead, I will have you arrested for defamation of character."
"If you know what's good for you; then stop! You need to hear what I am about to say before you proceed." Nesisa spoke with so much power and confidence that even her own family began to wonder what it was that she was so dependent on.
"And what the hell is that? "Vine asked, fuming but at the same time feeling that up her sleeve; Nesisa surely had a solid back up plan.
