Chapter 13: Betrayal

"Me??"

"As bait??!!" Kira yelled

"Girl, are you crazy??" I and Jamal looked at each other

" Kira, calm down" I gestured her to take a seat

" What I was about to say was if we lure him out by letting him you were planning to tell the police about him and serve as a living witness"

" We could corner him and contact the police before then" I looked at Jamal and he nodded

" It's a good idea"

"I could act like you don't know I'm his son and tell him about Kira"

" I don't know guys..." Kira turned her face away

" It could work" she nodded

" I'll do it" she took a deep breath

" That's the spirit" I gave her a high five

" Let's go get ice-cream" I smiled

"My treat" Jamal added

" Before nkor??" I stood up

" Before what??" He looked confused

" Nothing darling, nothing" I fell on him and gave him a kiss

" Get a room guys" Kira rolled her eyes

"You're just jealous hun" I tried to stand up but he held me down

" I do have a boyfriend too yunno" she got up from the chair

" And we're having dinner tonight so I'll be on my way guys" she walked into the bedroom

" So where were we??" He held my waist tighter

" Hmm, getting ice-cream" I pecked him on the lips and got up grabbing my jacket

" Good way to spoil the mood K.C" he got up from the chair

" I'm sorry, baby boo" I kissed him

" Let's go"

*****************

The next night...

" Where is she??" I walked into the hospital ward

" She's over there" I looked at Merissa on the bed breathing slowly

"The doctor said she showed signs of waking up" Jamal hugged me as I walked in

"Really??" I walked to Merissa's bed

"We have to carry out our plan probably tomorrow" I looked at him and dialled Kira's phone number

"Hey Kira, are you home right now??"

" Yeah, I am"

" Okay good, I'm coming with Jamal" I grabbed my purse and signalled Jamal

"Let's take my car" he opened the door for me

" Look who's being romantic" I teased him and tapped his cheek before hopping into the car

"Just say thank you K.C" he said after getting into the driver's seat

"You know I love you" I pecked him

"Now let's go"

" I love you too" he kissed me

*******************

" So what's the plan??" I sat beside Jamal on the couch

" I'll go see my dad tonight and convince him to come after you"

" Then??" Kira asked

" You and Kira will stay in an abandoned building and wait for us there"

" How good is your acting??" He looked at me

" I did a little acting in high school so..." He nodded

" That should be good"

" Kira??"

"Ohhh, you'd be amazed on how good I am"

******************

" Where am I??" I opened my eyes to see uncle James in front of me

"Where's Kira??" I looked around and noticed that my hands were tied behind me

" K.C??" I looked towards the direction the voice was coming from

"Help me" she whispered

" What did you do to her??" I glared at uncle James

" Why don't you ask her yourself??" She walked out of the darkness looking unharmed

"Are you okay??" She smirked

"I'm more than okay"

"I'm finally getting my revenge"

"On who??"

" You ofcourse!!"

" You're working for him??!...."
