Chapter 4

Few minutes later. Baxley cat walked to the car parked a few meters away from the club house. She was dressed differently now, not in her usual black dress she wears to carry out missions.

She opened the car door and got in. Jackie, who was waiting for her, while sitting on the passenger's seat With a lollipop in her mouth. She drove off as soon as Baxley got in.

The car drove through the dark of the night on a highway. There was no car in sight, just there. The street lights along the road shine on the car as they pass by, Creating light for the road ahead.

Silence rang like music in the ear, as they didn't exchange words with each other. Just the engine of the moving vehicle making light sounds.

The atmosphere of the night was old, matching with the atmosphere inside the car.

Baxley sat on the passenger's seat, her eyes closed as she rested her head on the chair. The cold breeze blowing gently on the strings of her hair that was let down. Her long lashes and flawless skin glowing under the street lights.

On the other hand was Jackie. She drove the car with one hand on the wheel, while the other resting on the open window. She steals a glance from Baxley, wanting to start a conversation but she doesn't know the words to start with.

Baxley is known for always having a fierce cold and grumpy look. In the underworld people call her heartless and ruthless, they think she kills just for fun or because they don't deserve to live as they think. But what Jackie sees is a different person who wants Justice, A young lady who is going through alot both mentally and physically.

"Wanna have drinks?"Jackie asked, glancing at Baxley whose eyes were closed.

"Not in the mode"she replied with closed eyes.

"How is Raya?"Jackie asked, facing the road.

"She is doing great,"Baxley replied. Baxley is known for not talking too much. She doesn't speak but her actions do.

"Hmm"Jackie hummed in reply followed by another round of silence.

"I saw Reggie"broke the news after the silence, still not opening her eyes.

"What?"Jackie asked in shock, stepping on the break. Eye eyes flow open immediately but she didn't say a word, instead Jackie continued driving.

"What are you gonna do, kill him?. You know he is the father of your daughter."Jackie said in a hurry. She knows that Reggie is part of the people Jaya wants to hunt down, But she wasn't going to advise her to kill him. From what Baxley told them she couldn't find anything he did wrong. To her Baxley is just being selfish with her daughter, she doesn't want to share custody of her daughter with anybody. She snapped her eyes open.

"Raya is my daughter and I am gonna kill whoever I want, when I want to. keep your opinion to yourself"she said, already pissed. She doesn't want anybody to tell her what is best for her daughter. If she is making a wrong decision, then it's her problem. It's nobody's business but her's. Nobody came to her restcrew when she was getting assaulted. So nobody as the fucking right to tell her what not to do with her fucking life. She hissed and closed her eyes, resting them on the car seat.

"Am sorry ok"Jackie apologized but got no reply. Another silence followed till they left the hallway into an isolated area still riding without stopping.

"i Need you to do something for me,"she said, her eyes closed.

"What is it?"Jackie asked.

"I needed you to spy on Reggie for me, give me every bit of his information,"she answered.

" And why should I do that?"Jackie asked again, already getting Baxley pissed. She snapped her eyes open and glared at Jackie meanfully.

"If you don't want to do it then don't"she snapped.

"Ok fine I'll do it, ''she said but earned silence for reply. She asked known Baxley for someone who doesn't talk too much and she just made her talk past her limit.

Silently dey continued driving till they reached the front of Baxley's apartment. She highlights from the car, without bidding Jackie a bye she went into her house and Jackie drove off.

She quietly opened the door not to wake the sleeping Raya up, she didn't have the strength to lie about where she went. She already had a stressful night and just wants to rest.

As she stepped into the living room, the light suddenly went on and she stopped on her track.

"We're are you coming from?''she turned towards the light switch only to see Raya standing there staring at her, with both of her hands folded in her chest.

"What are you doing awake by this time of the night?" Baxley asked.

"I asked first"

"I asked second,"Baxley cut in.

Raya didn't say anything else, she just stood there staring at Baxley with no expression on her face.

"Fine I went out with Jackie"she lied and defended.

"Aunty Jackie"Raya called happily while smiling. Jackie and Sawyer as her mom are only close friends, then black dragon as ken.

"Yes and she dropped me off, now tell me what are you still doing awake by this time. When I left the house you were sleeping"Baxley asked.

"Well I woke up some minutes ago to drink water, when I went to your room I couldn't find you. I shared the entire house and you were nowhere to be found."Raya said with a light expression, describing with her hands movement.

"Am sorry I left you ok, now go back to bed"Baxley said to Raya. She starts to walk towards the room corridor but stops and turns to her mom with a sad expression.

"Mom, did you see the news?, another person was found dead in a nightclub. Mom is scared"she broke into tears. Baxley steered at her for a second confused why the hell is she scared, nevertheless she went to hug Raya who hugged her back.

"I told you not to watch the news, and why are you even crying?" She asked.

Raya looks up to her mom, with tears in her eyes.

"Mom is scared because of you, these days you are hardly home. You always go out with your friends. What if the serial killer targets you?"she cried even more.

"Oh stop it, I'll put you to bed let's go"Baxley shun Raya. She carried her to her room then put her to bed.

If only her daughter knew she was the serial killer, or the reason she is killing them. But she is just too young to understand. Nevertheless she was going to admit her into a karate school. She knows something is coming sooner or later and it's going to affect her daughter so she needs to be prepared.

Paxton is sitting presently inside the interrogation room at the police station with his hands handcuffed. He looks tartared Jaya hasn't even started with him and he is already looking like him, what if she is done with him he will be as good as dead.

Two investigators came into the room. They moved towards Paxton, one sat on the chair the other sat on the table they both faced Paxton who had an expressionless face.

"Mr.."

"Am not going to answer any of your questions so forget asking, I didn't murder Amar I found her dead in the bed"he said, cutting the investigator off.

"We didn't just find a dead body in your room but all the illegal drugs in the same room where the dead body was found.

Better starts talking before we force you to"Eric, one of the investigators who lacks patience said angrily. The other investigator , Mike, taps him to calm down.

"Get me my lawyer,"Paxton said, leaving no room for argument. Suddenly the room door burst open. Immediately the door swung open, Larisa walked in with three body guards with her and two police officers behind her. Her heels hit the floor gracefully making the koikoi sound.

They stopped In Front of them while Larisa posed. "Let him go,"one of the police officer's who came with Larisa said.

"Why?"Eric asked.

"Do you love your fucking job or not, let him go"the same police officer yalls.

Few minutes later. Paxton and Larisa sat at the back seat of her car, silent rain over the entire car as they drove on the road.

"Who killed Amar?"Larisa asked with an expressionless face.

"I didn't kill her, Jaya did."he said, defending himself. Larisa broke into a short wicked laughter, then her face went back to being serious.

"You mean to tell me that her ghost killed Amar"she asked in disbelief.

"I knew you won't believe."he put his hand into his pants pocket then brought out the note he saw on Amara's dead body.

"Here, I saw this on Amara's dead body," he said and gave her the note. She took the note and read it.

" Are you fucking serious"she asked with wide eyes.

" Do I look like I am playing?" He asked.

"Fuck"Larisa muttered.
