Chapter 37 Yeni
Jenny POV ??
Jason had called me earlier and told me to wait for him
I didn t have any other option than to wait
I was still waiting for him when COP Kelly s call came in
"What s the information?" He asked immediately I picked up
"Jason is yet to come" I replied
"Aren t they playing you, they must have left" he said
"They can t, because no one can read that book except me" I assured him
"I will be waiting for your call" he said and hung up
I sighed and dropped the phone
I looked at the ceiling
Just then, someone began to horn from outside
I took my handbag and put another phone inside it, should in case
I walked out from the living room and met with Jason who just drove in
It was only him and his driver
I became confused
"Why only two of you?" I asked as I walked closer to the car
"Others are waiting for us at Dorothy s house" he replied
"Even David?" I asked, to be sure
"Yes" he replied
"You should have told me, so that I could go there myself" I said as I walked over to the other side
I got in and we drove off
As fast as I could, I sent a message to COP Kelly
Telling him that we were at Dorothy s house
??????
….. Jason POV ??
I was able to fool her and we drove off
Jenny started typing something on her phone and I smiled to myself
After some minutes of driving, I asked the driver to take us to George junction
"I thought you said that they are at Dorothy s house?" Jenny asked when I gave the instruction
"Yes but I want to get something there, it is really important for the journey" I lied
She just shrugged
I had to make another plan, concerning her phone
I waited until when we got closer to the George junction
"Please can I check something in your phone?" I asked
"What?" She asked back not feeling comfortable
"I have a network problem and I need to know the meaning of what Dorothy wants me to buy at the junction" I lied
It was a sweet lie ?
"Say it, so that I will type it for you" she suggested
"Am not running with your phone, am still here with you" I said
She looked at me for sometime before giving out her phone to me
I smiled collecting it
I saw a notification at the top of the screen and I scrolled it a little
It was COP Kelly
I smiled
"Aren t you checking again?" She asked
"Oh, I will, we are here already" I said pointing at the windscreen and the driver parked
"I thought you said that they were waiting for us at Dorothy s house?" She asked
"Let s meet them first" I said instead and opened the door
Jenny got down as well
I walked to where the driver was and gave him Jenny s phone
Meanwhile Jenny s mind was at what she saw
I instructed the driver to go and he drove off
"Why is he leaving?" Jenny asked really surprised
"We have to take one car" I replied and walked ahead of her
David was leaning his head on Dorothy s shoulder
That was love
Even in his condition
Bonny was sitting in the front leaving a space at the driver s seat and one at the back
"We are good to go guys" I said opening the front door
"No, I can t stay at the back" Jenny said
I looked at Bonny who understands what I was trying to say
"Okay, come and stay here" Bonny said getting down
He walked over to the back and got in
Jenny looked at us through the window before opening the door
She got in and closed the door
"Hope we are ready guys?" I asked looking at the back
"Yes," they chorused
"Your seatbelt" I said before turning on the ignition
I was able to learn the location through browsing
I had to spend the whole night browsing about the location of the place where Dorothy said we were going to
"Oh, Jason my phone" Jenny said on our way
"Oh my God, I forgot it in the other car" I replied
That was how I planned it, before concluding on taking two cars
I didn t know that I could make such plan
"I suspected it" Jenny said and hissed
??????
…… COP Kelly POV ??
Immediately I got the message from Jenny about them being at Dorothy s house with David
I drove straight there
I was with another policeman, should in case if the situation become worst
Immediately I got to the house, the gate was open
I got down and looked around before going inside
I brought out my gun because I don t know what would happen next
I walked gently inside the house because everywhere was already opened
I got to a room where I could hear a little noise
I couldn t drop down the gun as I walked inside
It was only Mr Ken lying on the bed with lots of marks on his face
I looked around the room but Mr Ken didn t say anything
"Where are they?" I asked him as I walked closer to him
"COP Kelly, you can never stop this from happening, otherwise, it will take your head" he said instead
"This old man is talking rubbish here" I said really angry
"Anyways, I don t have your time" I added
A message bumped into my phone and I didn t hesitate to check it
It was an unknown number
"This is Jenny s second number" it reads
"Jason lied to me and I don t know where exactly we are going to, just try finding out"
I looked at it again
That Jason of a guy keeps making mistake
"I need to track them" I said rushing out from the house with the other policeman
??????
….. Bonny POV ??
It was really a long journey
I was just thinking on how to tell Dorothy that I still love her
Just that the courage couldn t come but I didn t give up
"Dor-Dor" I called after some minutes
"Yes" she replied
"Am sorry but I didn t remember doing you wrong, I just want to tell you that I still love you" I said
"Let s not talk about this now, until we are done" she replied
It was obvious that she was in love with David
It was getting to the afternoon time when we got to the area
It was wow
It looks like a beach but no one could near it
At the other side of the river was a building with a shining color
It was really great
We got down and carried David as usual and was walking closer to the big river
Dorothy and Jenny was carrying the bags that contains some food stuffs
"Hey!!!" We heard someone shouting from the back
We turned to look at the person and it was an old man with a small bag
"That river is dangerous, no one has ever be on it and come out alive" he said
I was already getting scared
"So, I will advise you all to go back" he added
"This is the same reason why we are here" Dorothy said
"I won t experience this again" the old man said as he walked out
"Let s continue guys" Dorothy said and we complied
We got closer to the river and Dorothy dropped a liquid into the river and a boat appeared from nowhere
We were able to get inside it
The boat started moving automatically
The more we move, the more the building kept shifting
??????
….. Jenny POV ??
After some hours in the boat
I wondered when we would reach there
I was able to send COP Kelly a message with my second phone
We shared the food Dorothy brought for us but she only give David some liquid
It was getting to evening time when we finally got to the Tomb
We got down and the boat disappeared
"Here we are" Dorothy said breathing out
"Take" she added, giving me the book
I reluctantly took it and opened it but it was blank
I turned to look at Dorothy
"Don t worry" she said and I returned my face to the book and everywhere was filled
The door looks dangerous and would take someone s life once it being opened
Who would I want dead apart from David
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
I was just looking at Jenny, hoping that she would tell us something
She couldn t stop smiling
"We need to stand David up" Jenny said
"You know that he can t stand in this condition" I went against it
"It requires David s hand at the door, Jason on top and you on top of them all" Jenny said
"Okay,is there anything that you need to tell us about this door?" I asked to know if she will
"No, the only thing is to open it or are you doubting me?" she replied or rather asked
"Not at all" I replied
"Let s do it, we don t have time" Jason said
"I will hold David" Bonny said
I swallowed my saliva first
"Let s just be careful guys" I said as we positioned ourselves
There was a button on the gate
Bonny took David s hand and places on it
Jason places he s on top and I did mine
The door made a move and started opening
Everyone had to return to their positions
Jason and Bonny was busy carrying David to sit on the floor, so as to wait
Just then, an arrow flew out from the building
Before I could shout for them to watch out, the arrow has already find its way into Bonny s stomach
No one could believe it as we all gasped even Jenny
I wondered if she was planning on another person
"Dor-Dor" Bonny called and fell on the floor with bloods filled his mouth
…..
….. Jenny POV ??
I never expected what happened
I wanted it to be David but fate was against it
Tears formed in my eyes all of a sudden
At least, I was human being
I could still get feeling
"Bonny please don t die" Dorothy cried squatting before Bonny
"Dor-Dor" Bonny stammered
"Yes Bon-Bon" Dorothy said still crying
"Reme…mber wh..at I told y..ou" Bonny stammered
"In ….the…e….bo…at" he added
"Tha..t…I….lo…ve…you"
"Yes, I remember" Dorothy cried
"But please don t go"
"Am just happy that the arrow didn t get David because it was actually coming to his direction" Bonny said as he managed to smile
Just then, the book I was holding caught fire
"Oh my God!" I screamed throwing it away
It burnt only the page where things were written
Everyone of us were surprised looking at it
Immediately that particular page got burnt, it sparks before the fire stopped
"Strange" I said looking up and my first look, caught Jason
He seems so serious
He was burning inside with anger
"Why are you so wicked?" He asked
"What are you talking about?" I asked because I needed to get his point
"You kept pretending but I already knew you" he said as he rushed to where I was
He looks like he was ready to punch me
"Jason please" Dorothy said rushing to hold him
??????
….. Dorothy POV ??
Jason was determined and I could see it
If I should let it happen, it will surely destroy what we were about to do
"Are you trying to tell me that you didn t see this in that book?" Jason asked with anger but I didn t let go of him
I blocked him totally
"Jason please, we are just starting" I said
"If she is going to be hiding something like this from us, then there is no point to have her with us" Jason said
He was really angry
"Maybe, it is fate" I responded
"Even if it didn t catch him, it will still get one of us, it is the fate" Jenny said
"At least, you would have told us" Jason said
"I didn t see it on time" Jenny tried lying
"Jenny, please" I said as silent took over everywhere
"Jason, just let it go" Bonny managed to say
I turned towards his direction
David roared immediately but he was still weak
"Oh my God" I said as I rushed to where our bags were
Just as I picked the liquid stuff (DS liquid), another bottle fell down
I looked at it closely and it looks like the other drink that I normally give my Uncle ever since he was attacked
It has (SD liquid) on it
(DS means Demon Sleep while SD means Sustaining Death)
I didn t know how it get inside the bag but I just found it there
"He is opening his eyes" I heard Jason said
I picked it up and diverted to where David was lying
I gave him his own drop and he fell back to sleep
I turned to Bonny and gave him a drop from the other bottle (SD)
Bonny breaths out
I began to think of it
My Uncle said that we are supposed to be five people, maybe that was why the arrow caught Bonny
But Victor didn t show up yet
??????
….. COP Kelly POV ??
I was able to track down their location and drove as fast as I could
When I got to the location, I got down from my car looking around the area
I turned to the river side and saw them before a building
The door was opened but they aren t making any move like someone who wants to go in
"Not too fast baby" I said smiling
I looked around for any available boat but I couldn t find any
The other policeman was also with me
"Do you know this place, as have you been here before?" I asked him
"Not at all, am just surprised seeing them here" he replied
"We need to get a boat" I said looking around
"Sure, I will try asking around" he said
"Okay, I will wait here" I responded before he left
I focused on where Jason and co, was
It was only three people standing there, which was Jason, David and Dorothy
But where could David be?
"It is really strange how they got there" I heard a voice saying from behind
I turned to behold an old man standing there starring at them
"How do you mean?" I asked walking closer to him
"No one has ever cross that river before" he replied
"Anyone who tried it, end up sinking in the river" he added
I wondered if he was trying to deceive me
He shook his head and walked away
The policeman later arrived with a big truck, carrying a canoe
He parked and they helped us take down the canoe
I meant the driver and one of his boy
The policeman paid them and they drove off
I couldn t take off what the old man said from my mind
"We are good to go" my fellow policeman said while I nodded
I first of all looked around for the man but I couldn t see him anywhere I around
We pushed the canoe inside the river but not all of the body was inside
"You can go in, so that I can push it, for you to control it" the other policeman suggested and I remembered what that old man said about sinking
"Don t worry, I like exercise" I lied
"You can get in so that I will push it" I added
"Really?"
"Yes" I replied
He nodded and got inside the canoe and I began to push it
Just as the whole body get into the water, it moved with a great speed
The next thing was for it to sink
The policeman shouted for help but it was already late
Gasping was understatement to what I did
I stepped back a little
I looked at Jason and co
They were still there
I pulled my gun and shot directly to them
The bullet got to the center of the river and a hand bumped out from the river, talking the bullet and withdrew back to the river
I couldn t believe it
It was just unbelievable, I thought it was a dream
I took my phone to text Jenny
??????
…. Jason POV ??
After some minutes, Bonny was already breathing normal
The drink really worked
As we were just watching him when the door began to make noise
"What?" I asked as if it will reply me
"Jenny, check your book" Dorothy said
Jenny picked it up
Something appeared before the page and she began to read it
"The door will close in some minutes"she said
"Dorothy take those bags in, let me help Bonny in first" I instructed and Dorothy complied
Bonny was still awake, so taking him won t be hard
I first of all took him inside before coming out for David
"I will need help here, Jenny" I said
By then, the door was already coming closer
She looked at me for a while
"The door is shutting down!" I shouted
Dorothy was still busy with those bags because it seems heavy, carrying them together
The door was closing slowly, slowly
As it was getting more closer, Jenny decided to help
"I just hate him" Jenny said but I ignored her
It was almost closed when we rushed in
I turned and saw Dorothy rushing in with the remaining one
Luckily, she got in before it closes
Jenny s book began to burn again
??????
….. Sonia POV ??
I couldn t be myself ever since Victor left
I kept visiting his house, hoping to see him one day
Even the letter he dropped, I haven t gotten the mind to open it
I just wanted to meet him face to face because it would be better to talk face to face
I sat down in my room regretting my actions
That decision was the worst mistake I have ever made
My door got opened and Fred walked in
"Is he here?" I asked standing up from where I was sitting
"Victor is gone" he replied while tears dropped as I returned to my bed
"Have you read the letter?" He asked
"No, I don t have the mind" I replied
"Why are you always childish?" He asked
I knew that he was getting pissed off but he won t understand
"Don t try insulting me now"
"Am not insulting you but it is getting too much" I replied
"I don t want to cry yet" I added
"It will be better if you read it now and cry once"
"You won t understand"
He waited for some time before walking to the bed
"I understand you, you claim to be hard but your heart is soft" he said
He was right
"Do you know if he just wants to give you tip on where he is now" he added
"Could it be?" I asked
"Yes because I saw him before he left even though I couldn t meet up with him, he was really down" he replied
"I just hope he forgive me"
"Just avoid bad friends like Caro" he said
"Just put her aside, she is the only friend I can trust" I said trying to protect her
"Maybe, anyway where is the letter?" He asked
"In the closet" I replied pointing at it
He got up and went to the closet
He shifted my clothes and saw it lying there
"Wow, you carefully kept it, even with a love shape on it" he said making me to smile by force
"You don t know when to play" I said almost laughing
"At least, you laughed" he said opening the envelope
I stretched out my hand to collect it
"No, I will read it for you" he responded while I smiled and withdrew my hand
"TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE ??"
"I thought this love will take us to a long way
I always woke up thinking about you
I don t know if I would be in this level without you
You really made me who I am
But seeing how things are turning into, I don t really know what our future will be
The girl you saw me with, was my classmate who visited for a help
I declined it because I need to plan on how to change the fate
I was destined to die for others but I couldn t leave you
But with what you did, I was made to realize that destiny can t be changed
Just take care of yourself and know that I truly love you
Maybe I should join my first love
Victor"
I couldn t believe what I heard
Victor was actually going down for someone else
"Oh no, not Victor" I cried standing up
"It is already late, the only thing is to know where he came from" Fred said
I couldn t believe that I didn t know that
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
It was already night, 9pm
As in through our phone but everywhere was still bright even though everywhere was sealed up
Every angle has this beautiful light coming out from them
"Let s take some rest" Jenny suggested
"Am tired already" Jason responded
There was a door somehow far from where we were
We sat down on a bench that was inside the building
We lay David on one bench and I sat next to him, his head on my laps
He was snoring quietly
Jason was with Bonny in different bench
Bonny was lying down but was awake
Only Jenny sat on a different one as she was busy with whatever she was doing with her phone
"This is second heaven" Jason said looking around
"I don t want to leave here again" Bonny said as we laughed
"This place is really bright" I said
"So, should we not finish the journey?" I added and we laughed again
We were still laughing when I saw a demon flying from a far
"Oh my God" I said standing up but I gently placed David s head on the bench
I don t know if there would be any way out from this one
"What s that?" Jason asked standing up as well
"A demon is coming from that direction" I replied pointing at that door which was where the demon was coming from
"Demon?!" Jenny asked really scared
"Jenny check the book, maybe there might be a solution" Jason said
Immediately Jenny picked up the book, every light went off
"Oh my God!!" Jenny screamed
Everywhere was totally dark and I couldn t tell if the demon was closed or not but I could hear her voice laughing
All of a sudden, her voice began to fade
The next thing was a torch light
Other lights came back to their position
I couldn t believe who I was seeing
He was the one with the torch lighter
It was Victor
"Victor" Jenny called
"Hope am not late guys?" He asked
I couldn t stop smiling even though I felt bad for him
…..
…. COP Kelly POV ??
I returned to my house because it was already evening and the first mission has failed
According to Jenny s text message, she said that they had to spend up to four days inside the building
It was a long day to go
It was really strange on how things that happened earlier became possible
How could a hand come out from a river to collect a bullet
The same river sank our boat
Another thing was that upon everything I did there, they didn t hear me, talk more of looking at my direction
There must be something wrong with that river
But what connection could they have with it that they were able to cross it
Lots of thoughts were running around my mind
I couldn t stop thinking
I just wished there could be a way for me to get in there
I remembered that Mr Luke was still sick, due to the attack
I had to visit him
When I arrived, he was just walking around the compound without any top on
The bandage was still new, which means that he just changed it
He turned to look at me, when I drove in
"Brother" I called getting down from the car
"I thought you wouldn t come" he said as I walked closer to him
"Work isn t easy" I responded
He nodded and continued walking
"I have a good news for you" he said while I wondered what could that be as I walked from behind
"Am willing to hear it" I replied
"Take" he said giving me some panel
"I don t want work to be hard for you, so I put tracking device on Jason s car" he said while I smiled collecting it
He didn t know that it was useless because I have known that already but I had to comply
"Wow, I didn t know that he was going today" I said looking at the panel very well as if I was observing it
"Don t be surprised to hear this" he said
It was already useless because his first surprise wasn t cool for me
"What could that be?" I asked
"Jenny s phone" he said bringing it out from his pocket and handed it over to me
"Jason gave it to the driver, so that she couldn t contact you" he added
It wasn t really useless because it would make me to think on that
Maybe the driver might know how they managed to cross the river
"The driver told you that?" I asked
"Yes, he thought that Jason asked him to keep it in this house for him, so he decided to give it to me" he replied
"Wow, you are really smart" I said
"Have you forgotten back then, we planned everything" he responded
"It is just that we don t want to work as a detective" he added while I smiled
"It is in our blood" I responded
"But I have one more thing that is disturbing me" he said
"What could that be?"
"About Jason, is he really my son?"
"Why is he different from me?" He asked
I never expected this
"I guess, he is just being influence by his friends" I replied
I wouldn t want us to go deep in that topic
