CHAPTER 36

  "Look, Mr Carl..."

  "I don't need any explanations." he interrupted her, throwing a bank card on the couch.

  "My money's all in there. You can take it. Please, just go. I swear on my life not to reveal your existence." he begged.

  Lavana sighed.

  "We don't need your money. We were going to leave, anyway. That ring in your hand; if you try to spill the secret of our existence, you will die." Beatrix spat.

  "Big sis, let's go." she ran out of the apartment.

  Lavana looked at the fearful Carl.

  "Whatever we did to make you pissed, I apologize and thank you for the clothes you bought for us and the food and for sheltering us. I will always remain grateful for your kindness. I understand how you feel. Don't worry. You won't see us ever again and that ring... don't worry about it. She's just threatening you. I trust, though, that you'll keep your promise. Once again, thank you for everything. We're leaving." Lavana bowed and walked out of the apartment.
