Traumatic Event

I turned around to see if who is that man.

" It's you Mark (I smiled)", I said to Mark.

Mark smiled at me as his response.

" Do you know each other Francine?", Jandric shockingly asked me.

" Ahmm, yes Jandric", I replied to Jandric.

" And by the way let me introduce you to him, Mark this is Jandric Burke ( I pointed at Jandric), he is my friend and we enrolled in the same major which is heart surgery", I said to Mark.

" And Jandric, he is Mark Hendrix, from the Research department majoring in Genetic research and he is my friend", I said to Jandric.

" Nice to meet you Jandric", Mark said to Jandric and offered a hand shake.

" Nice to meet you too Mark and (he noticed something) if you don't mind asking, are you blind?", Jandric replied and at the same time they shook their hands.

" Yes you are correct and I am blind since I was born", Mark replied.

" Ahh I see and I am sorry for asking you frankly that question because I was just curious", Jandric said.

" No problem", he replied and smiled at Jandric.

" I need to be frank to you once again Mark, how can I assure you that you can take Francine to her home safely with your condition?", Jandric asked and insulted Mark.

" He will and he can Jandric, if you cannot trust him then trust me instead, please trust me in making my own decision", I replied to Jandric instead.

" Ok Francine and please message me when you got home so that I can assure you that my friend went home safely", Jandric said to me and smiled.

" I will Jandric and we have to go now, bye for now and see you tomorrow", I replied to Jandric with a smile.

We headed our ( Mark and me) way now to my home.

While in the car, I still cannot stop thinking about what happened to Drake earlier.

" How was your first day ?", Mark asked me.

" It was great Mark, what about yours?", I replied to him with a smile.

" Mine was fine also", he replied.

"Mark, my first day was great because I was able to meet and know the life stories of my classmates until there was a sudden changed in the classroom vibes when Drake turned into a beast, I am sorry if I exaggerated Drake's behavior without considering that he is your cousin but Drake's reaction earlier was over or exaggerated which caused me to wonder until now if what is his problem", I explained to him.

" It's okay Francine because I knew already to myself that sooner or later Drake will react that way and just to remind you that it will not be the last time that he will react like that because the truth is when he reacts that way he will also become unique", Mark replied.

" I don't understand you fully Mark, can you please tell me in a more detailed way?", I said to him.

" Since I trust you, Francine, I will tell you the story of Drake but promise me first that you will not tell this to anyone", he replied.

" I promise to you Mark that the things that you are going to tell me today will only be between us and I will only keep this to myself", I said to him.

" Eleven years ago, Drake experienced the most traumatic event of his life. Way back then, his parents were always busy at work to the point that Drake was fully entrusted to their housemaid, that housemaid is working for their family for more than twenty years already that is why Uncle Warren wholeheartedly trusted that maid to take care of Drake. One cloudy evening, Drake was just playing on the balcony of their mansion, his parents went to another country that time to take care of their business, in their mansion there was only Drake, the trusted housemaid, and the other ten housekeepers when a group of armed men sneaked into the mansion and they mercilessly assassinated the other ten housekeepers and the two security guards of the mansion while Drake and the trusted housemaid was abducted by them.

Two days later, the leader of the gang contacted Uncle Warren through phone and he informed Uncle Warren about what happened that one night and suddenly hang up. Because of the news that Uncle Warren knew, he and Mrs. Hendrix immediately went back to their mansion even if their business appointment is not yet done. They love Drake because Drake is their only child.

When they arrived at their mansion, there were a lot of policemen scattered because they were investigating the crime.

" Lt. Croce, did you already identified the culprit of this heinous crime in my mansion?", Uncle Warren asked Lt. Croce.

" We did not know yet the identity of the culprit Mr. Hendrix but one thing is for sure, the culprit is not ordinary meaning the culprit is expert because he was very careful when he committed the crime which caused us to have a really hard investigation because the crime scene is very clean and we cannot locate even a single evidence of the crime", Lt. Croce replied.

Lt. Croce is the one who is in charge of that crime, until now they cannot still identify the culprit.

While Uncle Warren and Lt. Croce talking, the culprit is called Uncle Warren.

" If you still want to see your precious son, give me twenty million dollars in cash, remember no Police because if there is I will assure you that your son will be dead for sure", the culprit said.

" Don't do anything to my son please, I will give you what you want right now and I will not bring any police", Uncle Warren replied.

" Good boy, 3:30 pm later, and I will message you the exact address, remember no police and only cash, tic toc tic toc", the culprit said.

Uncle Warren already arrived at the exact location.
