“Look, I think am at fault here, I raise you guys hope, thinking we are going to defeat him easily. I even had the mayor’s support but I guess it’s not enough.
Mr George is a powerful man”
Det Lewis said.
“Yeah, you are right… I don’t think anyone can bring him down”
Ellie said also.
“I think my dad can”
Little Ethan said as he came out into the living room.
“What did you say?
Ellie asked. She knew she heard him.
Little Ethan looked at everyone.
“Nothing…
He said changing his mind.
“You just made mention of your dad, Ethan”
“I didn’t say that…
Ethan lied.
“Mom, am famished”
He changed the topic and walked to Lauren. Lauren smiled and carried him in her arms.
“I will be right back guys”
Lauren excused herself and walked to the kitchen with Ethan in her arms.
Ethan knew he had to shut up that minute, or else he was going to blow up Marcel’s mega plan.
“Did you guys hear what Lauren’s son just said?
Ellie asked.
“No, it seems you are the only one who heard it”
Jemmy replied.
Is everything okay?”
“Yeah…Am fine.
“Alright, back to our conversation…
I want us to stop any investigations, or any revenge plan you all have on Mr Georges.
It’s not going to work”
Ellie said.
“Like I said earlier, we are not giving up. We have made a promise to Ethan Baker and we are keeping it”
Harry replied proving stubborn.

“Welcome back, Dad…
Luke said and smiled.
He hugged his father after he came in.
“Welcome back, Dad”
Lucy hugged him.
“We scale through again”
“Oh, my daughter… We always scale through”
Mr George smiled.
“This calls for a celebration”
Jack said. Mr George smiled and walked to him. He held him by the shoulder.
“Jack Jack…
You’ve been a good minion for months now, I owe you one”
“No boss…
I owe you one, you once saved my life remember?
So now, am returning the favor”
Mr George just smiled and looked at Lucy.
“Okay then…
He looked at Jack again before going inside.
Lucy and Jack looked at each other for a second.
Luke just smiled.
“I think Dad knew about your relationship”
“How did he know?
Did he spy on us?
Jack asked.
“Just be careful”
Luke said and walked away.
“So what are we doing next?
Lucy asked and sat down. Jack licked up his lips and walked to sit beside her.
“Why don’t we leave that aside and talk about us?
You and I”
“What’s there to talk about?
Lucy asked taking her face away. Jack brought it back noticing the shy look on her face.
“My dad is around, let’s do this some other times”
“Would you like to go on a date with me?
Jack asked holding her hand.
Luke came back inside. He quickly understood what was going on.
“You two have no heart. Alex was just sentenced to death a day ago.
He is no more with us, he is dead…
Instead of mourning him, you two chose to continue with your joyous life.
Remember, he took the fall for everything”
“And who cares… Alex is gone and he is gone for good.
Life goes on”
Jack replied.
“Okay then…
You two should just be careful, dad must not know about this.
I think he knows, he just wants to catch you both in the act. ”
“Alright, that’s enough… Both of you”
Lucy said and they both looked at her.
” Am in love with Jack alright?
Is there a crime in that? Or does Dad want me to remain single forever?
“Okay… Do wh@ťěver you want.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you guys”
He shrugged and sat on the couch. He smiles.
“I love this life, everything is okay now”
“I don’t think so…
We still have Lauren Quinn to deal with
Lucy said.
“You must h@ťě this cousin of yours”
Jack replied.
Luke smile.

~(Lauren’s residence)~
(9pm)
Little Ethan lies on his bed. He was on the phone with Marcel.
“Alright, kid… I have to go
Your granddad needs me”
“No, Dad… Please wait a little bit.
I don’t think am going to fall asleep with you on my mind”
“Am sorry, Ethan…
I have to go”
Maybe we can talk some other time”
“Alright,
But am I going to meet Grandpa soon?”
“Yes, sure…
When the time is right”
Go to sleep now, okay?
Your mom must not meet you awake”
“Can you sing me lullabies before you go?
Ethan asked.
“Oh gosh, Ethan…
Alright, but don’t mind the way my voice is”
Suddenly, Lauren opened the bedroom door. Ethan quickly ended the call and hid the phone under the duvet.
“Who are you on the phone with?
Lauren asked.
“I have been eavesdropping for the past few minutes now and I heard you calling someone Dad’
Who are you speaking with?
“No one Mom…
Am just practicing the way I would have spoken with my dad to sing me lullabies if he was alive”
Ethan lied.
Lauren felt guilty immediately. She walked to him and gave him a warm hug.
“Am sorry about Alex…
I guess he deserved what he got”
Ethan smile. His mom had thought he was talking about Alex.
“It’s okay Mom…
I will be fine without him”
Ethan replied.

(White House)
“Are you ready?
Mr Baker asked.
“Am ready dad…
I have missed them so much and I can’t wait to go back to them”
Marcel replied.
“They would love to see you again…
And also, remember the plans, don’t go otherwise”
His dad warned.
“Sure… Dad
I will be okay”
Marcel smile. Finally, he is getting his independence and freedom after six years.
The house manager came into the living room with some other house maids taking Marcel’s luggage and bags into the vehicle.
Mr Baker stood up and hugged his son.
“Be good, Ethan Baker…
My only son,
Your mom will be so proud of you”
Marcel smile.
“I will Dad, and I will make sure I find Hannah… She has been out of the city for years now”
“Let her be for now…
I made sure she is being monitored to keep her away from danger”
“Then where is she?
I missed her so much”
“I knew you were going to go after her if I told you her location coordinates but right now, it’s dangerous…
She has to be safe and we have to keep her away from trouble until everything is over”
So for now, go and enjoy your life and have your family back.
We are coming back for Mr Georges as planned”
Marcel sighs.
“Alright Dad, wh@ťěver you say”
He smiles before walking out.
Mr Baker watches him as he walks out.
“I can’t wait to see my grandson soon’
” I heard you, Dad…
Marcel said from outside.

~(Ellie’s residence)~
Ellie was on the phone with Lauren as she sat on the couch ready to go for a stroll in the evening
“Yeah…
I think he needs some space”
Or maybe he doesn’t love you anymore?
“But we have been good together”
There is no suitable reason why he needs to end the friendship we are building between us”
Lauren said.
“Well, everything is going to be fine.
Just be yourself and move on”
Am going for an evening stroll”
Ellie replied.
“Alright, enjoy your stroll…
Are you going to visit me tomorrow? Have missed your company”
“Sure why not?
I have to go now, bye”
Ellie said and ended the call. She tosses her phone on the couch beside her.
She bent and readjusted her shoelaces. She sighed and stood up ready to leave the house.
*********
Ellie walked out of her house compound. She noticed a truck moving in beside hers with some home gadgets.
“I guess someone moved in already”
She muttered.
She watched two men come out of the truck. She looked closely and noticed someone she knew was among them.
One of them looked back and waved at her.
“I guess he knows me also”
Ellie said.
Marcel just smiled.
“Excuse me, I will be right back”
Marcel said to his driver and walked to Ellie.
“Hey”
Marcel smile.
“Nice to see you again”
“Yeah, nice to see you again.
Am surprised as you are,
What are you doing here?
Ellie asked.
“Am the new occupant of this new house”
Marcel replied and smiled.
“What?
Ellie was surprised and happy.
Finally, her crush is going to be her neighbor.
Yeah…
Can we talk some other time over dinner today?
I think there is something I need to confess to you”
” Oh really?
Ellie blushed a little.
“Yeah… So?
Will you be present? Am going to treat you well”
“Sure… I would like to come to dinner”
Ellie replied.
“Good,
Marcel said and walked away.
“See you in the evening, Ellie”
Ellie smiled and continued her stroll. The smile on her face is a wide one.
TBC…
