Episodes 11

Jason*

Jason walked out of his house furiously, he went to his car and entered, his driver tried to follow him but he told him not to

He drove speedily on the highway, avoiding other cars, he reached the smith mansion and enlighten from his car

He rushed in Immediately looking like a lion ready to devour anything that comes his way

He meets Steve on the couch, watching a TV program, and demands Lucas immediately

"Where is he," Jason asked glaring at Steve

"Where is who," Steve asked, he doesn't understand what was happening

"Where the f*CK is he?" He asked again, this time louder than before

"I don't know what you are talking about, where is who, if I may ask," Steve replied, trying to get what Jason was saying and who he was asking about

"Lucas, where is he?" he asked impatiently

"There is no Lucas here and I haven't seen him," Steve replied wondering why he was acting like a psycho

"Don't play with me cause I may not be nice when am angry,...he told me himself that he was coming here, and now you are telling me that he's not here, did you think am here for jokes " he yelled as he made to go upstairs but Steve blocked me

"Look Jason, did you think I would hide him if truly he was here, have already told you that he's not here, why not call him and find out yourself," Steve fired back, already pissed off with Jason's behavior

Mr. Smith and Sandra heard the commotion and came downstairs to know what was happening

"Jason, are you trying to bring down our house with yelling," Sandra asked, but seeing his angry face of Jason she calmed down immediately

"What's happening here, why the noise Steve," Mr. Smith asked looking at Steve

"He came here asking about Lucas, but I try to explain to him that he didn't come here, but he kept boiling as if he's in a fight with someone," Steve tried to explain calmly

"Jason, what's the problem? Did anything happen or did Lucas tell you that he was coming here," Mr. Smith asked now transferring his guess to Jason who looked disappointed in his behaviors

"Emm... I... Emm. Nevermind I will just get going," he stammered not knowing what to say, his mind was already occupied with the thought of Sandra

"Jason, I don't know what the problem is but I might as well be of help," Mr. Smith said softly

"I thought Lucas is here, cause he told me that he was coming to see you, but it seems I overreacted, I will just get going, " he said as he made to leave

"Wait a minute, why not call him to know where he is," Mr. Smith asked already worried as if he can sense danger

"Oh, I forgot my phone at home, but I will just go and get it," he added and walked out of the house

He opened the door and get into his car, Mr. Smith walked out immediately and suggested following him

"Jason, hold on..... let's go together," Mr. Smith said as he opened the front door and got in

"Are you sure you want to come with me, I mean..... You can just stay, I will bring it and get back to you," he asked trying not to let him know that he already destroyed his phone

"Don't be a silly boy, get going already," Mr. Smith replied and looked outside through the window

Richard hid behind a tree, looking around to see if anyone was coming that way.

He doesn't want anybody to spoil his plan, he spent all evening decorating the hole and now is perfectly fine

waiting for Lucas seems like forever to him, to him he has been waiting for ages, suddenly a thought crosses his mind

"What if he didn't come," his subconscious mind said

"Don't even think of it, I know he will come cause I have seen the way he acts towards that bloody Jason," Richard said nonchalantly as if talking to someone

"Did you have to kill him," his subconscious mind asked

"Don't even try to preach to me cause I have sold my soul to the devil from day one, and now shut the f*cl up," Richard sneered as if talking to someone

Lucas waited for a cab but none seemed to be going his way, then he decided to stroll down a little, maybe he will see the one that is going his way

He was still walking down the road when a cab came by, he stopped it but it still refused to go his way

After offering to pay the cab man a huge some of Money he agreed to take him there but on a condition.. which is that he won't enter the street, he will just drop him at a street close by

He didn't even wonder why all the cab men refuse to go that side,...the hole is a very bad one that if care is not taken anyone that goes near it will fall into it and there will be no help, Cause the road is too dry

Without thinking twice, he jumped into the car and the cab man drove off

________

Jason got out of his car and rushed into his house, he looked around for his mom but she wasn't in the sitting room

He decided to talk to her later, maybe when he comes back

He went to his study to see that his mom already got a new phone for him, he picked it up without saying anything, he went back to his car where Mr. Smith was still waiting for him and drove off

Inside the car, Mr. Smith asked him to call Lucas so they could know where he is

"Have you called Lucas yet?" Mr. Smith asked

"I will do that right away," Jason replied as he brings out his phone and called Lucas who picked up almost immediately

"Hey, Lucas," Jason called

"Jason, d*ckhead. I have been trying to call you but it isn't connecting, what happened to your phone," Lucas asked as he enlightened from the cab and paid the man

"Ask him where he is, am having a bad feeling," Mr. Smith said immediately

"Where are you?" Jason asked just as Lucas was about to say something

"Oh yeah,..... One of your investors from Chicago called me earlier saying that he can't reach you on the phone, so he asked me to come to take your agreement papers, that he will be going back to Chicago tonight," Lucas said

"Investor from Chicago!!!! I didn't remember having any investor from Chicago," Jason mumbled out loud

"Are you saying you don't have any ideas about any investor from Chicago?" Mr. Smith asked trying to confirm his fear

"Yes, why will I do business from there, there are better places to invest in," Jason said by then Lucas has already ended the call, cause the investor called to know where he was

"Shit he ended the call already, did he even ask the investor how he got his phone number and how he knows about our relationship!!!.... Come to think of it, that must be a trap, I don't know any investor from any Goddanm Chicago" Jason said as his facial expressions changed

"Call him again," Mr. Smith suggested

Jason called him again but he didn't pick up, he tried again But he was on another call

"His not picking," Jason said worriedly

"Track his location," Mr. Smith said

Let it not be what I am thinking," Mr. Smith thought silently

"Here, it's showing a street not far from here," Jason said, showing Mr. Smith his phone

_______

Lucas on the other hand looked around but couldn't see a trace of anyone

He wondered if he had entered the wrong street instead of the real one. He brings out his phone to call the person again

But discovered that his battery has already died down,

"Sh*t, how do I get to this person now," he thought

He tried turning on his phone but it wasn't able to on, Then he decided to try strolling down a little since the man said his waiting for him on this street

______

Jason enlightened from his car followed by Mr. Smith, he rushed down the street and came across Richard who smirked at him

He made to stop and ask him if he had seen Lucas but Mr. Smith dragged him along

Richard used that opportunity to run for his dear life

They were still looking around for him when they heard someones scream, Mr. Smith was the first to trace the voice

Getting to where the voice came from they saw Lucas's phone laying down on the floor

"No this can't happen to me again, Lucas my son," Mr. Smith cried out loud as tears streamed down his cheeks, not Minding that Jason was there with him

As Jason Opened his mouth wide staring at him in bewilderment
