( WHO TO SAVE )

“Win… Winter” Butter stuttered.

Winter smiled dangerously before dropping the burning lighter on JoJo’s body.

“No!!!!!!!” Butter s¢ræmed as his imaginations caught fire, but Winter started laughing so hærd immediately cos no fire was burning, the keg actually contains water.

“You really think I’ll give her a simple death like burning?, Nah!” She laughed again and picked the lighter from JoJo’s wet body.

The guy beside her took off his mask too, and Butter’s eyes w¡dened again when he saw the face.

“K… Kent?”

“I’m Brent, his twin brother” and Butter gasped.

“How could…how could you both……” Butter started stuttering as he vomited blood again.

“Kent died because of her!, Her worthless boyfriend killed him!, I do boast of two brothers before, but now I’ll have to boast of one?, If I don’t kill her then I’m not Winter!” Winter shouted, and a car halted beside them.

Kavita came out of it.

Butter was shocked for the countless time tonight as he saw her face.

“Boss ordered for her to be taken to the wolves” she said.

“She’s ours to kill!” Winter shouted, and Kavita went closer to her.

“Are you talking back at the boss’s woman now?” She glared.

“We’re on a revenge mission!, And I’m not part of the freaking cult so I’m not obligated to follow sick orders!” Winter shouted at her face, and Kavita slapped her soundly.

“How dare you!” Winter shouted and made to slap her back, but Brent stopped her.

“Stop it!” he said.

“You mean you’re gonna let the wolves kill her instead of us?” Winter smirked.

“It doesn’t matter who kills her!, The fact is that she’ll die!, In the mouth of a lion” he said, and Winter roughly took her hand from him.

“Fine!” She snapped.

“Get her into the car” Kavita ordered, and Brent carried unconscious JoJo.

Her shot back was still bleeding so much as she was conveyed.

Kavita got in the car with them, and they drove off leaving Butter.

VIOLA’S PLACE**

“You can’t go on that mission tommorow” Viola said for the uptenth time tonight.

She has been on it since he came, but he seems bent on going.

“That’ll be my last mission before I leave the cult, trust me I’ll be fine” he replied.

“Brother, you only received trainings from Stone for a year, but the wolves contains fighters who trained for donkey years, they’re gonna tear you apart!, And I hear they have wolves and lions in their cages” she said worriedly.

“Viola listen…

“I don’t want to listen!, What if you go and don’t come back!, What if…

Draco hugged her before she could finish, and she inhaled.

“Do you trust me?” He asked.

“I do, but…

“Then do till the end” he replied, and she suddenly sighted the computer screen.

“JoJo’s location changed!” She said fast.

They both went to the systems and focused on the red icon.

“Street of the vagabonds?, What the hell is she….” She stopped talking and faced him.

“She’s not moving by herself” he said.

“You mean…she was kidnapped?” Her eyes w¡dened.

“It’s definitely Kent’s twin, he started the game faster than i expected” he replied, getting his gun from his pocket.

“Viola!” Kelly rushed in, and she faced him.

“Good thing I met you here Draco!, Your research about Kent’s family is not complete, Brent is not the only sibling he has left” he said”

“Their junior sis died in an accident when she was young” Viola said.

“She survived the accident after spending years in coma, she’s alive!, Winter Graham!” Kelly said loudly, and their eyes w¡dened.

“Same Winter we all know?” Viola said.

“Yes!, She obviously made friends with JoJo just to deceive and get closer” Kelly replied.

“Viola, get their parents, right now!” Draco ordered before leaving the house.

“I’ll go with you” Kelly said, and she nodded.

They left the house together and drove down the street immediately.

Draco hasn’t started driving when he got a mail from Stone.

★ I DECIDED TO SHIFT YOUR MISSION BACK TO TONIGHT, YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS COOLING HER FEET WITH THE WOLVES, GO SAVE HER IF YOU CAN,…. SON-IN-LAW ★

His eyes w¡dened after he finished reading, and he tightened his palm on the phone.

“Ignatius” he muttered before driving off violently.

STANFORD HOSTEL**

James came out of the unit after dialling Butter’s line for the tenth time, he’s not picking.

“Is it his job to worry me?, I can’t even sleep peacefully, knowing fully well that he’s probably crying somewhere cos of JoJo” he said to himself and made to try his line again…

“Hey, James” Snow’s voice made him look up.

“Snow?” He said, and she came closer.

“Worry left a mark on your face” she said.

“It’s Drake” he replied.

“Drake?”

“Oh!, I mean… Butter” he quickly replied.

“So his real name is Drake?, It’s the first time I’ll be hearing about it, everyone knows him as Butter” she replied.

“That’s because he has to keep his real name from the public if he wants to live fine” James sighed.

“Is there something wrong with his name?”

“Actually his surname, once it gets out, it’s over” he replied.

“Family problem?” She asked.

“Something like that” he replied.

“Maybe I should be thankful for my own family” she sighed.

“Are you the only child?” He asked.

“No, I have a big brother, though he’s not real cos he was adopted by my parents before they gave birth to me, but I still love him so much, then…..I have younger sisters, they’re twins to be precise” she smiled sadly.

“You’re lucky” James smiled.

“Not really, cos the twins are nowhere to be found” she replied, and he raised a brow.

“Why?”

“Immediately my mum gave birth to them eighteen years ago, the hospital was raided by thugs, and they kidnapped the new born twin babies” she replied.

“And they haven’t been found since then?” He asked quickly.

“Sadly no, I didn’t even get to see them before they were kidnapped, I don’t know if they’re alive or not, and even if they are, I won’t recognize them cos they’d have grown so much, mum cries day and night everyday, and she’s unconsolable” she replied, and James was about to speak again when his phone rang.

It’s Butter, so he inhaled before picking.

“Drake where the hell are…

“From Alive hospitals, the owner of this phone was brought by two girls some minutes ago, severely injured…

“What!”

“What?” Snow asked fearfully.

“Drake!” James shouted, running to his car.

9PM★

Kelly and Viola arrived at the street and drove further till they got to the last house where they stopped the car.

They came out and slammed the doors shut before going for the front door of the house which they opened with bullets.

Immediately the door opened, they both stepped in and met the middle aged couples in the living room, they were hugging each other in fear.

“Mr and Mrs Graham, too bad your son and daughter failed to hide you well” Viola smiled.

“Please don’t hurt us” the husband begged, and Kelly laughed.

“Please, don’t kill us” the wife spoke shakily, and Viola pointed her gun at their heads.

“Stop talking or I won’t wait for Draco’s orders before blowing your brains off!” She shouted, and the couple hugged each other tighter.

“Blame your son Brent, and your daughter Winter for this” she continued.

“Do you think Draco will be able to take care of the situation over there alone?” Kelly said worriedly.

“He told me to trust him, I’ll do that” she replied simply, and they dragged the couple up.

They took them out of the house and threw them in the car, then Viola went back in to pick their dog from under the table.

She threw the dog in the car too, and she went in with Kelly, then they drove off.

KLEIN’S MANSION★9:30PM**

Victoria and Aurora were laughing loudly as they watched a comedy show together, eating snacks in-between.

“Comedy shows are the best stress relieving pills” Victoria laughed.

“Trust me Vikki, I can’t do without it, it takes my mind away from the things I don’t wanna think about” Aurora replied, and Victoria sighed.

“I’m glad your knitting business is going well, at this rate you’ll get a franchise soon” Aurora said.

“I can’t wait, at least I’ll be able to do things for my daughter, I’ve always wanted to go on a mother-daughter shopping with her” Victoria smiled.

“Aww, cute, but…can i ask this question?” Aurora asked.

“Anything”

“How did you end up with Ignatius?, You hated him a lot in highschool” Aurora said, and Victoria sighed.

“For the money” Victoria confessed.

“What!”

“Yes, I married him because he’s rich, i never loved him Aurora, and I will continue to wallow in regrets for the rest of my life, he changed drastically after our marriage, and the money I married him because of, he never spend it on me or my daughter, that’s why I got trapped, I have a lot of apologies to do to my baby once I’ve settled, she went through hell in that house all because of me” Victoria cried.

“Vikki…” Aurora shifted her wheelchair to her and held her hands.

“I promise to support you, you’re out of the trap now so trust me, it’ll be over soon”

“Thanks Aurora, I’m so grateful” Victoria sniffed as Aurora kept rubbing her back.

“Should we call our babies?, On a video call?” Aurora suggested.

“Of course” Victoria replied, wiping her tears as they broke the hug, but the doorbell rang immediately.

“Expecting someone?” They both asked at a time.

“No” they replied at a time too, and they laughed as one of the maids opened the door, but immediately she did, she was pushed in, and she fell as three people came in.

Winter, Brent and Kavita.

“Who are you guys?” Aurora asked.

“Get them” Kavita ordered, and Brent started walking to them with Winter, but Victoria blocked Aurora.

“Aurora call the cops” she said.

“Sure” Aurora replied and got the phone.

Brent and Winter walked faster, but immediately they got to them and made to grab Victoria, she hit them both with her elbows, and they staggered back.

“Wow” Kavita mouthed from where she standing.

“What the…” Brent said and slapped Victoria brutally.

“Vikki!” Aurora shouted, and Winter tried attacking her but Victoria punched her on the face.

Winter returned the punch, but Victoria dodged before grabbing her hand.

She flipped winter over her shoulder, and she landed on the floor.

“How dare you!” Brent barked and made to slap Victoria again but she shifted back before jumping on him.

Like gum, she attached herself to him and trapped his neck between her thighs, then he started struggling to break free as she dealt his face with slaps.

Winter finally stood and got her gun from her pocket.

She shot Aurora on the arm.

“Draco!!!!” She cried.

“Aurora!” Victoria jumped down from Brent and rushed to her.

“Aurora!, Aurora!!!” She cried as the arm started bleeding.

“I’m…in… pains” she cried like a baby, losing consciousness slowly.

Victoria started crying too, and when she stood to attack Winter, Ignatius came in.

Her eyes w¡dened, and she stopped on her track.

“Surprise!” He smiled wickedly.

“You…you…. bastard!!!!” Victoria shouted and rushed to him.

She tried punching him but he grabbed her neck on his palm, pushing her to the nearest wall violently.

“Arrggg!!!” She gr-0aned painfully, bleeding from the mouth.

“I get that I acted weak the other night at your bedroom, but it’s all over right now, the judo skills you learnt from your dad are no match for my skills!, And do you care to know a secret?” He smirked and bent over to her ear, still choking her.

“I killed your f**king dad” he whispered with a loud grin, and Victoria bled more from the mouth.

“He knew you married me for my money but still, he told me you really love me, how dare he join hands with you to deceive me!” He barked meanly.

Tears fell out of Victoria’s eyes immediately, hot one.

“Both you and the product of our deceitful marriage, I mean JoJo…then the mother of her bastard boyfriend, and the boyfriend himself, all of you guys will be gone tonight” he said and shoved an injection into her neck.

She slept off immediately, falling flat on the ground.

“Throw them both in the van” he ordered and left the house with Kavita.

“I’m not part of the cult, why must I act like his slave!” Winter grimaced.

“If you wanna live, do as he says” Brent replied and carried Aurora.

Winter smirked before going for Victoria.

10:30PM**

Draco’s car was still driving furiously through the silent road of the vagabonds street , in a minute from now, he’ll get to the wolves empire, his muscles were already standing out on his skin, ready for action as he drove like a madman.

All he’s imagining is JoJo, just her.

He finally got to the empire and destroyed the closed gate with the car before driving in finally.

Gunshots started welcoming him, but he didn’t freak as bullets penetrated into the car windows.

Before he stopped the car, many holes appeared in the car body already, from bullets.

He stepped out finally, and the gunshots stopped, but thugs started coming.

He shoved his knife into the chest of the first one, and blood splashed on his face in a splatter.

The second one succeeded in punching him, but Draco grabbed his head immediately.

He hit it hærd on the car bonnet, and blood stained the car before he fell down dead. The rest started coming in packs, attacking him at once.

Draco slitted the necks of two with the knife, then he punched the throat of another one.

The three fell at a time, and a knife shoved into Draco’s back immediately.

He bled slightly from the mouth as he removed the knife and stuck it in the eye of the owner, then he punched it deeper into the eye.

He used two knives on a thug at a time, cutting off his head completely.

He was losing so much blood from the stab, but he’s trying not to get weak as they kept coming, they kept getting numerous as he killed.

He did an handstand on the car, kicking two at a time, then he punched another two on their faces.

He received a punch on his face and staggered, but immediately he stood straight, he gave the thug a spin back kick which sent him far away, then he climbed the car and jumped down on the other side.

He started running into the building, and the thugs chased after him.

The blood from the stabs wet his shirt already, so he took it off and continued running shirtlessly till he entered the building.

“Ann!” He shouted as he ran around.

“Ann!!”

He’s bleeding more, and he’s becoming weak, but he kept it up.

“Ann!!!” He shouted again, running past some cages.

They contain dangerous wolves and lions, both mothers and Cubs.

“Ann!!!” He shouted again, holding his bleeding stomach.

“Knight” her voice came faintly, and he stopped running.

He went back to the cage he ran past, then he saw her in the cage with a sleeping lion.

She’s still bleeding from the shot arm.

“Ann!” He ran to the cage and held the metal , shaking it as if to uproot it.

“That sleeping lion will wake up in ten minutes” a thick voice boomed behind him, and he looked back slowly to see Tiger Beer, the most dangerous man in Cali.

He stood there gallantly with an ominous smile on his hairy face.

“Once it wakes up, your girlfriend will be the first meal it’ll eat” Tiger said, and Draco’s phone buzzed.

“Check your phone” Tiger said, and Draco slowly took it.

It’s a video text, and his eyes w¡dened as he watched.

Aurora and Victoria were tied up to a small pool of water, their bodies were dangling, and Aurora’s arm is bleeding so much.

“Mum!” He gasped, his orbs so red.

In the water, he could clearly see two crocodiles, swimming around.

Ignatius face came to view, and Draco folded his fist.

“The rope holding their hands up will get cut ten minutes from now, and once they fall into my water, my crocodiles will have a great dinner of them” he grinned, and the video ended.

Draco’s body shook visibly as he looked back at the cage.

“Your precious girlfriend, or your mothers?, The choice is yours” Tiger said.
