“Holla Lannon. Did you miss me?”Rodger ridiculed, laughing harder.
He clenched his fist even tighter”you better not hurt her Rodger. I will find you”he warned.
“As usual. The bossy and the oh mighty man. You’re thr_@tening again? Your girl is here, she’s dying. Wanna hear her voice?” Rodger cooed in a very mocking manner and while Lannon could hear mumbles of someone struggling in the backgroung. His eyes dilated in anger, knowing fully well that, that was Lila.
“What do you want?”he asked.
“You’re finally being reasonable?”Rodger laughed.
“You speak up Rodger”he yelled and Sam who was beside him, shivered in fear seeing how violent he looked.
“A trillion dollar Lannon. I will let you have your little slut”
Lannon was mute. He didn’t say a word. He was quiet cause he was speechless. A trillion dollar? That was like his entire fortune on earth.
“Still there?”Rodger asked.
“Tell me what you truly want Rodger. You don’t need money.” He decided to play with Rodgers little brain cause he might get a few information.
Rodger on the other end was silent, then, he suddenly laughed. “Your little tricks won’t work. Get me the money!”he noted before ending the call.
Lannon removed the phone from his hear and he was raging with anger.
“That goddanm son of a Ɓîtçh!” He squeezed the phone still in his hand and the screen cracked.
“Lannon be calm”Sam tried to soothe him but it seemed it only aggreviated his anger.
“She’s out there. Your f-__-king best friend is out there. No one knows the f-__-king place. That motherf-__-kers asked for a trillion dollar then you ask me to be calm!!”he bawled, shifting out of the space the umbrella secluded him to and letting the rain to completely drench him. “We have to find her quick!”he stated looking at Sam.
While, the young girl was speechless, she stared at Lannon feeling sorry for him but at the same time angry at him. He put her bestfriend into a situation like that. He was the cause of everything.
“What do we do?”she asked.
“We get into the car and you shut the f-__-k up for the rest hours.”he replied sternly before walking away and she followed him immediately.
“You are not just going to push me out from all of these. What about the trillion dollar?”she held him back stubbornly.
“Right now Sam, what is more important is saving your best friend”
“And I’m going to be out of it. Out of your way?”she asked
“Yes!”came Lannon’s cold reply.
She held him even tighter ” I could help with some of the money, if that’s what it takes to get Lila back”
Lannon sighed”it’s is not all about the money Sam. I know this guy. He definitely doesn’t want money”
“Then why did he ask for a trillion dollar?”she furrowed her brows
Lannon knew she would never understand no matter how he explained the situation at hand. So, he just walked away.
“Hey, I’m following you!”She ran after him.
“That’s fine”he replied.
Once they were in the car, away from the beating rain, the atmosphere in the car was tense. They knew Lila was in danger but how to save her was the biggest task.
Sam turned to him, “so what do we do?”she asked
“We lure that son of a Ɓîtçh out?”
“Ok. How?”she asked
“We get him what he wants”
“The money?”
“Yes, but fake ones”he finalised.
This felt so different to Sam. It felt like she was in an action movie where she was working with the hot handsome male main character.
She sighed.”let’s get on with it”she said.
Though, she wasn’t sure how they were going to get fake money but she had to trust Lannon since he was like an expert in that area of evil and dangerous life.
They drove back to the mansion. While going, Lannon made a few call to some people. Well she really didn’t want to pry in his conversation. All she wanted was to save her best friend.
*******
It was exactly 8:00pm in the evening when Rodger called again. He stood a few distance away from the very weak Lila who had no strength left in her.
“You’ve got my money Lannon?”he asked once Lannon picked.
“Yes,”came Lannon’s simple reply
“You do anything for your little slut. How nice”he clearly mocked. “State the place.”
“Klinks bar. Come with her!”Lannon stated before ending the call.
Rodger sighed before looking up at Scott who was guiding Lila.”unchain here”he said.
Before Scott could even touch the chain, a thr_@tening voice stopped his movement.
“Well, I never said you had to bargain for anything”the deep baritone thundered.
“Disloyal Rodger” he continued, his sharp glare on Rodger.
Something in the man’s voice prompted Lila to look up. It was so dimly lit in the ware house, she could hardly see a face. Just a candle that lit on a table afar that brightened the space a little. The man was backing her so she couldn’t see the face. She hard no strength to even think further so she decided to have nothing to do with Rodger and his teams conversation.
“If we want nothing from him, then why do we keep her”Rodger asked.
“Are you questioning me?”
“I need that money”Rodger stubbornly said.
“Go against my will and you die!”the voice thr_@tened.
“Its all about you. More than nineteen years now and it’s still about you”
“I brought you to life. I own your life. Have that in mind Rodger!” He said then he turned to the rest of the boys “No one leaves here tonight and guard her tightly”then he left.
Lila was too tired to see when the man left but she saw how Rodger jammed his hands against the wall in anger. “I’m going”he said” I have to get that money”
“Rodger!”Scott that was beside her, walked to Rodger.
“You don’t have to be this stubborn”he chided.
“Well, I need it. I can’t be that freaking monsters tool anymore”
“You’re risking your life bro. How are you so sure they got the money ?” Scott looked at him.
He shrugged”well, I do have something in mind.”he said and with that, he left.
He walked out of the outdated warehouse, preparing his mind that if anything got worse, he didn’t mind if he died. But he had to take that money cause he needed it if he didn’t want to be a slave anymore.
