The cab stopped at Redwood Street, as Damion reached his stop
"Thanks" Damion said and got down and paid him
"Son don't you think you should visit a hospital" The cab driver said noticing his injuries
"They place we go when I'll and injured? Damion asked
"Yeah" The driver confused at his question
"Okay, I will go but first I have to meet someone urgently "Damion said
"Okay, stay safe kid" The driver said and drove out
Damion glanced round, his silver irises shining as he searched for Theodore, he looked at the other side and noticed a teen around his age looking around, then paused and stared into his phone he had a pair of ear pods in his ear, he had dark brown hair, with brown irises, his face has a chubby look as he still had some of that baby fat on it, his skin was fair and smooth with a tin of tan
Damion concluded that he must be Theodore, he walked towards him, the teen didn't notice him as his focus was in his phone, Damion tapped him which threw him in shock
"JESUS" He exclaimed as he saw Damion irises
"Sorry to scare you are you Theodore?" Damion asked
"Yeah, wait are you Damion "Theodore asked
"yes, nice to meet you" Damion said
"But what happened to you, you look like a mess, you should see a hospital "Theodore said worriedly
"Its okay, Uncle Max said I should meet you first" Damion said
"That's right, where is he..." Theodore stopped as he noticed Damion look, he pieced the pieces together and sighed
"It's okay, before I take you home, you need to see a hospital, am sure Uncle Max would want that" Theodore said
"You don't seem shocked" Damion said
"Uncle, told me to take care of you whether or not he returns I didn't understand till now, okay to the hospital " Theodore said pulling Damion
************************************
The cab Kendra entered stopped in front of an estate gate, Kendra paid and got down, she walked to the gate but it was locked she turned to the security to open the gate
"Identification please " the security man said
"Kendra Cartel" Kendra said
The man checked her name and had a confused look, he returned back and said
"Sorry but that name doesn't exist here" he said
"What? Check it again I have been living here for years, wait haven't you seen me before" Kendra's asked
"Sorry am new, do you have anyone in mind to call" The security man said
"Yeah, call the Cartels family house, tell them it's Kendra" Kendra said
The security nodded and placed a call, after which came out and apologized
"Am sorry Miss Cartel, please you can go in" he said and opened the gate
Kendra nodded and walked slowly, tired from the attempted Kidnapping on her, she made it to her own house and knocked on the door, the door opened and revealed an anxious girl with brown hair wavy hair with gleaning Dark brown irises, her skin was rosy which was in contrast with her anxious look
"Sister I was so worried "She said and pulled Kendra in, without any much discussion and closed the door, Kendra slowly released herself from her and walked in
"Kendra darling were sorry for noticing something happened to you " A mid aged woman in her forties said
she had brown hair similar with the girl holding Kendra, her brown irises and slightly aged skin, she had a worried look too on her eyes
"Sorry for making you worry aunt, how did you know I was in trouble?" Kendra asked frowning slightly
" Ermm, we kind of figured it out when didn't arrive from school earlier and we got worried" The woman said
"And how come nothing was done? Kendra asked more
"Kendra, Mom was so worried concerning you that she couldn't sleep and you are questioning her" The girl said
"Stacy, I understand, where is dad?" Kendra asked
"Here" A mid-fifties man said walking down the stairs, he had black shining hair with Dark brown irises similar with Stacy
"Dad" Kendra greeted
"Kendra, where were you do you know how worried we were" The man said
"Am sorry "Kendra said
"It's alright, you look terrible what happened "He asked
"Jack this isn't the time to ask that, can't you see how she is, she needs medical aid first and rest" The woman instantly spoke
"Ohh, am sorry for my negligence Evelyn, Stacy take your sister to the estate nurse to see her injuries" Jack said
"Okay Dad" Stacy said and pulled Kendra out
Stacy took Kendra to the nurse, nurse treated her abrasions and told her to take some rest the walk back to the house was quiet
"Kendra, I hope you don't blame my mom" Stacy said
"Now why would I do that "Kendra said
"Well you weren't exactly welcoming to her now" Stacy said
"I don't know maybe it's natural to dislike her knowing you exist" Kendra said
"Don't worry things will get well" Stacy said as the got to the house
"Maybe" Kendra said
They arrived just in time for dinner, as dinner went by, Evelyn went on praising Stacy's Academic success and would at times attribute some of them to Kendra's school work
After dinner Kendra said excused herself and walked up to her room, her room was huge with a king sized bed in the center, her walls were painted white as her bed sheets were white and blue
She walked into her walk in closet and changed into her night clothes, she laid down on her bed and as she went through the day's events
She was just returning from her reading club activities when she realized their driver had already left with Stacy, She decided to walk to the bus stop when she was captured by some masked guys and drugged guys, she woke up later in the forest with her hands tied and mouth gagged at night, she thought that was the end of it
But she heard and explosion, it was quiet but she still heard it, she was so scared but held on, after sometime she heard some footsteps and started screaming
Lucky she noticed an oddly handsome teen staring at her with Silver irises, God knows how scared she was when he didn't say a thing, dear God the gag fell off her mouth
"You're trapped" He asked in a melodious voice that was so much enchanting
"You're injured" I replied noticing them
From then on he helped her but she could tell something wasn't right with him but she couldn't point it out ,the way he was trying to haul a cab was so funny,
" Damion" She called out, such a strange guy she thought as she slept
Chapter 3
DAMION POV
Theodore drove me in his car it was a simple ash car, back to his home, I was covered in bandages and stiches, but my mind was somewhere else
"Shhh, Damion you have to take it easy the next few days" Theodore said
"Okay" I replied looking outside the window
I could feel Theodore glance on me but i didn't turn to face him
"Do you stay with your family" I asked instead
"No, of course not, I live alone, it's a 5 bedroom duplex , you're gonna love it" Theodore said
"Huh, wait you said am gonna love it, I will be staying with you?" I asked in surprise, Uncle Max didn't mention it at all, all he said was to meet him
"Uncle didn't tell you, in fact he made me move there because of you, he said I had to keep an eye on you else you might be lost and scammed" Theodore said
"I don't think it's that easy" I retorted
Of course not but he still thought so, don't worry am not a bad roommate plus it's free, uncle Max Bought the duplex" Theodore said
"Okay" I said feeling more terrible Uncle Max really went all out for me
We didn't speak again and Theodore turned on something in the car, which made music to play
"What did you do" I asked curiously
"Huh? I just on the radio" Theodore said
" Ohh, so that's a car radio but it's different from the cab own" I said
"yeah the have many types" Theodore explained
We didn't talk again till we reached his apartment, it was really nice and a duplex with a pool at the back with a garden accompanying it, It was painted black and white, which were me favorite colors, I subconsciously smiled at Uncle Max thoughtfulness
Theodore took me in and it was just lovely, the interior design was calming but was painted cream
"Damion, let me show you your room, Uncle Max especially told me it was yours "Theodore said
"Okay, Theo" I said shortening his name
"Theo, I like it I guess I can call you Damy" Theodore said
I nodded and followed him, he took me upstairs to the room, I opened it and was shocked
The interior was in black and white, a king sized bed was there with black and white sheets, the table was in black along with the chairs
The lamps were in white, I walked in the rug below was in black, I entered the bathroom was in white, the towels were both white and black,
A black toothbrush was in place with a white toothpaste at the side, the white mouthwash was kept on top
I came out and went to the closet, I was surprised to see a room inside the closet, I entered it and saw piles of clothes
Though they were in separate color's, the sweaters were all in black and night wares were all in white
I walked out to meet Theo who was waiting for me, Theo mistook my shocked expression for displesure
"I know right, I told uncle the whole room was in gothic style it's kind of terrifying even though it has elegance radiating from it" He said
"No, it's just fine, am glad" I said
"What? You like it" it's was Theo turned to be shocked
"Yeah, it's just like I have always liked my room but why is there a room in the closet" I asked
" ohh it's a walk in closet, most houses don't get to have it, uncle Max spent a lot on this house" Theo said
"Okay" I replied I really loved my room
"wait, uncle Max said to give these and teach you how to use it if you got confused" Theodore said handing me a bag
I opened it and an Android phone pack, head phones and a laptop was there
"Okay if I have any problems I would ask" I said
"Okay I will be in my room, "Theo said and went to his own room
I entered mine and dumped the bag on my bed, I took out the laptop and placed it on the table
I wasn't too sure how the phone worked but I was sure of how the laptop did as uncle Max taught every day
I brought out the USB drive he gave me and plugged into the laptop, a lot of documents appeared but what caught my interest was a voice note
I played it and it said
"if you are listening to this Damion, you have probably left that place and made it out without me, first of all don't sulk much I didn't make it out alive, I was gonna die anyway as my thermal disease had gotten worse
Then, I want you to listen well, this might answer some questions lingering on your mind concerning why you were there

Remember I love you"
There the voice note ended, I used my hands to cover my face, and Uncle Max had been planning my leave for a long time
Fishers and Cartels, hold on I will drag both of you down to hell, and that's a promise
