"I will be expecting a response, I will hang up," he said.

"Alright," she replied.

Jeane's phone rang after she came out of the bathroom, she was cleaning her wet hair with a towel, she picked it up "hey, Lucy" she said.

"You bitch! You made me so worried, damn! You are out so early, such shitty kidnappers..." Jeane kept the phone away from her ears to avoid Lucy's loud yapping.

"I am fine, Lucy" she replied, "oh! Then, you are going to come to the party, ain't you?" she requested.

Jeane couldn't recall about a party plan "I can't remember any planned party" she replied with a bit of disappoinment.

"Yes, you don't, I just got a ticket for the show of the hottest kid on campus, guess," Lucy said proudly, Lucy erupted into a scream.

"Jackson!" she jumped.

Jeame in the other room hissed, he turned on the bed and continued sleeping.

"When is the time, Lucy? Hope you ain't joking with me, 'cause I am gonna feed you to the dogs if you dare mess around with this, girlie" Jeane threatened playfully.

"Fuck off girlie, am going to see him myself," Lucy thought Jeane is playing around, both girls laughed and ended the call.

The door to a room was pushed open and a young man walked in,  a man stood close to a window backing him, he was looking out through the window.

The man who entered bowed "Boss, before we could get to her, Joseph has taken her away, we promise not to fail this time" he reported.

The other man was unmoved, after a momentary silence "failure this time will result in execution, the underworld is waiting for great news" the man backing him warned.

He bowed and retreated from the room, the other man's corner of lips moved.

Jeame heard a knock at the door, he stood up and walked to open it, he saw Jeame smiling girlishly "Hi, I am Jeane, don't bother introducing yourself, I understand" she said feeling awkward, Jeamie frowned.

"Can I come in" she demonstrated, Jeame gave way. She entered with a glass of wine "I brought you a drink" she handed the glass over to him.

"Since you are going to be my bodyguard, it is good I treat you
