Chapter 47

As Madam Ruth saw us entering the house, she rush and hugged me as she said

... "My children you're welcome. I was about to call you since we watched them televise what happened in the night. Hope nothing happened to both of you. "

No mummy we're all safe. I replied to her.

She went and hugged Jeff as well and asked...

...You people look very weak come in so you'll have something to eat.

Okay, mummy... Jeff couldn't wait for her to finish uttering her words before he accepted the proposal.

Uncle Jimmy also came and hugged us just as his wife did.

"Jeff, what's up bro, what happened?" Derrick asked his brother since he came together with his father to meet with us.

... Bro, such a long story but the good news is that none of us sustained any injury. We're safe now... Jeff replied to his brother as both of them exchanged a handshake passionately

Sure!! sure!!! Thank God for that.

Jeff, I saw Dave in the video you people were lucky to have him at the party. Derrick continued

Hmmm!!! Jeff chuckled and said

Bro, you won't believe that guy saved our ass yesterday. It could've been a different story

It's well, but what caused such a fight to the extent they even shot at you people? Like how? Derrick asked his brother

That's not something that started today...

Excuse me, please! Do you mean what exactly caused it? Jimmy intruded into the discussion with such a question and the face he made thinking that we caused it for ourselves.

...Dad, it's a continuation of Jessy's case with Sam. Immediately Sam saw Jessy, he called out one person that shared the same table with us and was asking him to help and bring out Jessy for them

Like how? Is he insane? wait for a second! Does he want to continue this fight? Uncle Jimmy started foaming in anger

Dad, I can't tell what he has in mind but thank God Dave helped us. We ran away from the party hall and they even followed us in their car. Just that God wants us alive

In that case, we'll all be mad these days. Just be calm. Relax and continue your daily activities.....

Okay, Daddy. Jeff replied

...But Jeff, can I have the contact details of the guy you people said saved you? He's not safe.

Yes, Daddy... Jeff said and collected his father's handset and saved Dave's contact details.

It's okay...Jimmy said then collected his phone from his son and walked away.

I and Jeff started recounting how everything got started and how it all happened. Then he even told me how Sam wanted to use Nathan and achieve his aim. It was like dream to Derrick who was quietly listening to our tales. Funny enough as it may be, we were discussing something that almost took our lives but we still laugh whenever we discuss ridiculous parts of the story. I reminded Jeff about how Dave gave him the other and he obeyed without hesitation. Everyone was busy recounting laughable parts of the story

".....I never knew you could cry like that oh! Even before they released the first gunshot at the party, you already started crying."

Dear, why won't I cry? Imagine I was already seeing my corpse. Who won't cry? No one to trust. He already started conniving with Nathan and I knew not the number of people he must've planned the attack with. I got confused and knew nothing else to do. I only had to cry since I couldn't help it. We continued chitchatting for some minutes before Derrick reminded me that my phone was ringing. When I brought it out, I discovered that Dave was the one calling. Remembering the romantic moment we shared before I left his house left me smiling in appreciation

Jessy, what amusing you? Your phone is ringing and all of a sudden, you started smiling. Hmmm .....Derrick couldn't just let me be. I couldn't even reply to his sarcasm. I just took my phone and walked towards my room.

"Jessy, what's up? Any better?" Derrick continued with his disturbance

Derrick, I owe you no explanation. Please let me be. Face your front. I replied to him with harsh words

Had it gotten to this point? Please enjoy the moment Jessy. He also added

Despite all the conversation the call triggered, Jeff was mute. He kept adamant as if he knew nothing about the call and who was calling. Though that wasn't my concern. I only needed to hear from "My Dave"

"Jessy, Mummy is here with the food."

Derrick eat your food and leave me alone. I never knew you can be this troublesome...
