THE REVENGE

SIXTEEN

“You didn’t tell me you hired someone to guard us during the burial” I asked Mrs. Montero still not believing that the people who killed my parents were still after me and my family, cant they just be satisfied with what they already got?

“Well I figured out we won’t be safe , those guys are after something you have I don’t know what it is but they won’t rest until they find what they are looking for and that’s why I asked my security guys to make sure there was maximum security, I knew they would strike and that was so foolish of them” she said and I wondered why, we were currently in her study and let me tell you it was one kind of a modern study room, a work station was on the desk, a photocopier machine, a filling cabinet just beside the desk, there was a desk lamp placed on the desk, there was a flatbed scanner and a printer on the other side of the room, several computers hanged on the wall, I was mesmerized by the beauty of her office.

“And why would you say so? I thought they all escaped?” I asked surprised

“Well it’s because one of my guys managed to catch one of them, he is under custody right now and he will help me with the information I need, you will get justice for your parents trust me Danny and I’m going to make sure that happens even if it will take ages” she said and I felt like my parents would be happy wherever they are.

“What? Thank God they didn’t take anything or kill anyone and I hope the rogue guy that was caught is going to talk, I’m just fed up with people behind my back I don’t know after what they won’t it me rest until they killed me and my sister” I said sadly as it dawned on me, there was no way I was going to save my sister let alone myself, I had to act more careful, with the help of Pedro’s mom, I was sure I was going to beat it to myself

“How far are you with the investigations, I would like to have my parents buried before the week ends, I would love if w went to school, we have missed a lot” I said trying to make her understand, I just didn’t want to stay any longer at home it made me feel so lonely

“Yeah you have an idea, I’ll talk to him then I’ll give you feedback”

Well I was worried about my safety and Talia’s, Kenadi wasn’t at a high threat like we were but being at with us also put her in more danger than I already thought, we had to get far away from here but where did we have to go to? I guess we had no chance of escaping from the jaws of death and no option but to accept Mrs. Montero’s kindness it was all we had

I went downstairs to where all the rest were, Talia’s wound was being dressed in the other room so it was just Pedro and Kenadi

“Hey guys?”I asked as I took the last staircase and joined Kenadi on her seat

“Hey Danny how are you feeling?” Pedro asked

“I’m good but a lot has been happening of late I don’t even know if we will be fine tomorrow, seems like our enemies will never rest until we die in their hands” I said as I sipped on my juice and Kenadi cleared her throat catching all of our attention

“Well I was thinking why don’t we go at grandma’s place I don’t think they will able to get us from there” she said and I just gave her the ‘are you insane?’ look

“You have a good point but have you given it a thought?” I asked while raising my brows at her questioningly

“Hmm… yeah not that much “ she said shoving her shoulders and I knew she was still a kid and knew nothing about how risky it was to stay at our grandmas place, that was direct exposure to our enemies and maybe who knows? It would be the last days on this earth

“Well I can see you didn’t give it much thought, have you thought about our safety? We are better off here Kenadi, you don’t know how desperate those people are for our blood, they want us dead, all of us and going to stay at grandmas will only be making their work easier, I would have gone with your idea but right now what is important is our safety and we are safe here”

“Danny is right, mom can offer you people much safety you need and it will be okay if all of you are together here, you are safe here”

“And if I may ask, what exactly are these guys after? You give them what you want so that they can leave us alone, I don’t like staying in a strangers place I loved it when I was at grandmas, this place sucks, just give them whatever they want so that they can f*****g leave us alone!” she should and I knew she was getting out hand, it was better if she was tamed before she put us in big trouble

“Hey Kenadi why are you speaking ill like that?”I asked confused and surprised at how she had just change drastically, was something wrong with her?

“You shut up Danny! You are the reason Grammy is dead, were it not for you and your stupid boyfriend, she wouldn’t be dead right now, she came to see you and that is how she got shot!” she shouted at me and I couldn’t hold back my anger any longer I slapped her hard across her face

“What the f**k! Did you just slap me Danny?’ she asked while holding her cheeks in pain but I wasn’t done

“I will slap you again and again if you continue talking like that, how the hell did I cause grandmas death? Do you think I’m happy she is dead? Have you forgotten my parents were burnt to ashes? Was it my fault too?, you should behave your age” I shouted at her and she cowered back in fear but was quick to wipe it off with a smirk

“There nothing you can do Danny, or you think sticking at your boyfriends house like a lost puppy will solve half of your problems?”

“You know what Kenadi or whatever your name is, this is my parents house and not you crib so I want you to respect the fact that you are standing in my house and second don’t take my silence as a sign of my weakness, no one forced you to be here, you can as well as leave if you feel like you don’t want to be here but don’t blame death on Danny , she is innocent just like you, so if you have nothing to say please shut up, you pissing me off!” Pedro shouted at her and I felt good he was helping, me instill some sense in her thick skull

“What is going on here, what’s all the noise from when we in the middle of mourning our parents?”

“Ask your cousin, she is here blaming me for Grammys and our parents death, I can’t just believe Kenadi, my cousin whom we have literally grown together can say all that to me, who in their sane mind would wish anyone death, how cruel can the earth be?”

“What do you want Kenadi? Can’t you just appreciate the fact that we are living here for free and its not guaranteed we live here, why don’t you b appreciative”

“Nothing much I want to get the hell out here I can’t stay under the same roof with the people that killed my grandma the only family I was left with” she said with no remorse

“And what are you waiting for? I knew you were trouble from the first day I spotted you, I don’t know how wicked one can get but your case is so different and special, how can you accuse someone who has lost both parents to be behind their death? Don’t you understand that death is natural and you can also die any time? If you are going please make it quick, let me deal with Danny ad her sister, they need me” Mrs. Montero said and went back upstairs. That is how Kenadi moved out of the house I couldn’t believe she had just changed and there was nothing I could do about it, not even convince her
