THIRTY NINE
“Will,” I called him in a sweeter tone. “Did you know that Hera loves Spongebob?” I saw the red on his cheek and then averted my eyes.
“I saw my friend’s car one time and followed him. I noticed that he came in here. I was just surprised because I knew that this is vice-mayor Smith property and it is restricted. So I followed him until here and I saw that house. I knew that my friend was using drugs so I tell it to Eugene,” he explained to me.
“When he told me about that Ley, we went here immediately this morning. We didn’t inform you because I’m sure you are still sleeping. We saw a lot of cars here coming in and out of the house. Someone is coming, someone is leaving. There are cars and there are pedestrians,” Eu added to what his brother said.
Great, It looks like that I am lucky. I can take revenge for Kyla through Vince. Well, it’s good if what they said is true. Because this place ruining many lives because of that fucking drug.
“You know Will, you’re also useful. Prepare your best outfit because you’re going to go hang out with Hera.” I’m not using my sister, but I’ll choose this boy if I choose her lover.
Even if he is silly to me I can see how shy he is and blush when Hera is the one we are talking to. A reaction you rarely see in men, unless they are serious in a woman.
“What?” Will asked in shock.
“What what, why you don’t want?” I asked.
“I like,” he whispered back as if he doesn’t want me to hear it.
“Guys, let’s turn Vince over to the police so we can get revenge on him.” But they didn’t seem convinced because I could see the hesitation on their faces and they looked at each other and then shook their heads at the same time.
“You don’t want to, why? I heard that his father will run for Mayor next election. It just means that he will be opposite your dad. When we caught Vince here in Smith’s area. Boom! Smith’s name is ruined,” I said trying to convince them.
They both thought then looked at me at the same time but did not speak.
“That was a big help for your daddy. Lately, he was bashed by the opponents without doing anything. That’s it! You will do it for him but of course, you will say later when Vince is caught.”
“Ley is right, ‘bro. It will help for daddy’s campaign. Lately, there are a lot of people spreading fake news that daddy is just sitting in the Municipality. When it is proven that there is a miracle in this area and the drug pushers are caught, people’s trust in daddy will return. You and I are dad’s superheroes. Well sadly to say we have to sacrifice the Vice-mayor’s last name. He is kind, but what to do, Vince is really stupid.”
Eu thinks about what William had said. We look at the house now, there is an armed man who came out and looked around the area then re-entered the house.
“I’ll give you a bonus. I’ll tell dad to support your dad.” They both stared as they looked at me.
“Dad never interfered in politics but he can support your dad. Dad can promise that he can bring in many unemployed people on behalf of your daddy. And he will increase investment here in our town.” Why it is hard to convince people!
“That’s not easy, Ley,” Eugene began. “Vince’s dad is in politics also. How can we arrest Vince without his knowledge? They have still a trusted companion inside the Police station. What if someone betrayed us? We’ll all be doom.”
Fuck, he is right.
Even if we are influenced, someone may still sabotage us and we will be the ones to blame. We need a trusted person who also holds on to the heights and won’t sabotage us. A person that we already owe something.
“I know someone,” I said and smile when someone crossed my mind. “I know someone who can help us. Drive the car, we will meet him,”
“Who?” Eu ask.
“Just let Will drive and follow me.”
They did not argue with me even I saw the hesitation in them.
I give them the direction of a friend’s house who I taught that can help us and can’t put us in danger also. I know that his loyalty is with me so if I can trust another person aside from these two that was him.
Asher, my savior from hell.
I don’t know if he will agree with me. But at least I will try to consult with him.
When we reached his house, I saw him standing at the door. He was surprised when he saw us but still, he let us in. I told him everything want we want on him while the two remain silent.
“Fucking kidding me, Ley?” Asher asked and look at Eugene who averted his gaze to somewhere.
“No, I’m damned serious.” We are at his office now. He set on his chair while there is a table between us. Eugene and William set opposite me.
“I came here to investigate you and your ex. I take care of your issue because of Ashley. You’re the only reason why I came here so please, Vince is not part of my plan.”
“Ash, you might forget that you owe me something because you saved me. I would have been happy in hell right now if you hadn’t saved me. Now, stand up for being a superhero and help me.”
“Fuck Ley. If I knew you were thinking like that, I would have just let you die.”
“You’re unlucky because you saved me. Anyway, I’ll tell you something. Did you know about Ashley and Vince then?” I saw the annoyance on his face so I already smell my success.
“I know anything more than you Ley.” He looked at Eugene who looks at him then turned his gaze back to me. “Do you know the past of the people around you?” He asked me then so I am surprised also.
“No, I don’t care at all. See Ash, just think about this. When Vince is imprisoned, you helped those two guys there to get revenge on Vince. Kyla will get hurt, and Ashley will be proud of you.”
“Why would I help those two?” Referring to Eu and Will. “And why Ashley’s name includes here?”
“Asher,” Eu called and Asher looked at him badly. “I know that I took advantage of your sister’s weakness, but I hope you believe me that we were just both carried away by what happened to us. I have no intention of using your sister.”
Ow! So there’s something I don’t know between them.
“You used the pain of my sister to get revenge on that asshole,” Asher said annoyed.
“She also used me to hurt his stupid ex. That’s why we’re here with you now because he is the start of this mess.”
Asher was speechless and just stared at Eu.
“I wasn’t the one who hurt your sister. We just used each other assuming we could get revenge,” Eu added.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Fine, I’ll take care of the investigation and when we find out that your suspicion is correct, I’ll mobilize my people.” Eu looked at me, seemingly satisfied with what they heard. “Now if you don’t mind. You can leave now and I’m busy.”
“Sure,” I said and all of us stand.
“Thank you in advance,” Eu said and Ash nod at him so we go and left him.
“Where do we go now?” Will asked me.
“Take me home first huh!” They laughed while we got in the car at the same time. “Eu,” I called him when we both set.
“Oh,” he replied then looked at me.
“About what Asher said, did she refer to Agatha? Is she the one Asher referred that you used and used you?”
He first looked at William.
“Yes, but long story,” he replied.
“At least give me a summary,” I said and come closer to him. But he looks at William.
“Don’t mind me ‘bro, just pretend I’m not here,” Will said and continued the drive.
I heard him let out a deep sigh then look at me.
