THE HADWIN SIBLINGS-E

In less than 15 minutes a Mercedes-Maybach S650 pulled over and a man in a suit and a lady in a brown coat ran towards the Rolls Royce Phantom VIII. The lady shrieked looking at the damage of the car, but the man turned his head around looking for Hadwin.

`What did you do to my car?!!!', Abigail Wagner screeched. `My poor baby. I left it for a day, and this happens. Oh, my poor, poor baby', she cried and hugged the hood of the car, distraught that it was contorted and mangled.

`Get in the car. I will get it fixed', ordered Ace.

He spotted him just like how she left him. Astrid could not help herself but laughed silently covering her mouth and holding her stomach.

`What's that sticky gooey thing dangling over his forehead?', she squirmed.

Ace Wagner stepped closer to his brother. Ace Wagner found his brother strapped to a bench with white tape. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was stretched condoms. He saw the sachets torn on the floor of the bus stop. He could not believe his eyes. Did the girl who answered the call did this?

`Jeez, are those condom knots all over his head?', Abigail spoke with disbelief. He took a handkerchief and picked up a torn packet and carefully folded it within the kerchief without touching it. He wanted to be safe than sorry. He will ask his team to identify the person who helped his brother. He could not help but smirk. Good use of resources, he thought.

`What do you think Abby? Sure looks like it. Whoever helped him did a good job using whatever resources they had', he said.

`You mean she?', Abigail said. `I heard a girl's voice over the phone',

`Yes, it was a girl. But she is not here. Why leave?', Ace wondered aloud.

After checking Hadwin's pulse, he untied him and flung him over his shoulder. He could hear his younger brother mumbling something about smelling like lavender.

`Hadwin you are going to pay for this!', Abigail clenched her teeth and took one last look at her car and sat inside the Maybach.

Ace placed his brother on the back seat and inspected the site of the accident. He looked at the Rolls Royce, the distance between the road and the bus stop, the opened passenger door, and lastly a tiny earring on the road.

He could have missed it because it was lying next to the broken mirror debris. He picked it up and stashed it in his pocket. He looked around the nearby forest and the trees surrounding it.

Astrid who was sitting on the treetop started sweating. Her palms were wet and clammy. She took a deep breath and hid further into an adjacent branch. The leaves rustled due to her action and at the same time, the vampire turned his head towards her. Her heart started beating loudly. She prayed silently not willing to be discovered.

Ace looked at the rustling leaves a few feet away from the accident area and narrowed his eyes. He swore he saw something. Or someone moving. He was about to take a step towards the tree when his sister called him.

`Ace, what are you doing ogling at the trees? Are they sexy in your deft eyes?' Abigail rolled her eyes and started tapping her foot in annoyance.

`Hadwin needs to be checked', Abigail continued.

Ace turned around and walked to his Mercedes Maybach. He sped off. Astrid blew a breath of relief, finally, she can continue her journey to work.
